[ad_1] Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy at the MCG nets (PC: Debasis Sen) Agnijit Sen in Melbourne You couldn’t have asked for a better showdown! Second-highest attended Boxing Day Test ever, according to ticket sales. A packed MCG, series 1-1 and two teams in the ‘boxing ring’, ready to throw punches and counter-punches at each other. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy has entered the business end. Australia seem settled with their playing XI with a couple of changes. The same might not be true for India. While the top six pick themselves, No. 7 and 8 remain a question. Well, let’s rephrase. Not No. 7. Not after Ravindra Jadeja’s batting exploits in the Gabba Test. Not after his partnership with Ajinkya Rahane the last time these two teams met at the MCG. Jadeja has looked assured in the last match. His footwork swift, sense of judgement immaculate and he has been doing this time and again for India when it comes to overseas conditions. So, the question is who makes the cut for the No. 8 position? Nitish Kumar Reddy has hardly put a foot wrong in the ongoing series. Picked as the fourth seamer, he has given this fragile Indian batting line-up the much needed depth. A tally of 179 runs from five innings at an average of 44.75 doesn’t fully speak about his impact he has had though. India somehow limped to 150 in the first innings in Perth because of his batting. You may argue and say that he has mostly batted with the tail, when almost nothing was at stake. He could play his natural game. Then, what about Brisbane? Coming in after KL Rahul was dismissed, he survived more than 60 balls, stitching a crucial partnership with Jadeja. His medium pace has proved to be a value addition. He sent back Mitchell Marsh in the second innings in Perth to open the floodgates for India. Reddy has certainly looked like he belongs. Now, what about Washington Sundar? He in Border-GavaskarTrophy in 2021, became a forgotten man, made a comeback against New Zealand and picked up 13 wickets in his on his comeback. A raging turner helped, but Washington impressed further in the next Test in Mumbai. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Jasprit Bumrah with Nitish Kumar Reddy at the MCG nets (PC: Debasis Sen) Washington played the first game in Perth. He looked assured with the bat, bowled tidy off-spinners but had to make way for India’s No. 1 tweaker Ravichandran Ashwin in Adelaide. Similarly, in Brisbane, India picked a better batsman than him in Jadeja. And now, the Boxing Day Test is here. Last couple of times, India played at this venue and won. On both occasions, Ashwin and Jadeja were in the playing XI. Now, with Ashwin calling it a day, will India play two spinners or go with Reddy and Jadeja? Washington likes to play cricket in Australia. And he will always have the Gabba in 2020-21 to fall back on. With India staring down the barrel at 186-6 in their first innings in that game, Washington and Shardul Thakur came together to stitch a game-turning partnership. Washington was eventually dismissed for 62 with India on 328-8. In the first innings, he rolled his arm over for 31 overs and picked up the wickets of Steve Smith, Cameron Green and Nathan Lyon. Even in the second innings, he played an extremely handy cameo. However, his efforts got drowned by Rishabh Pant’s freakish batting display. Now, here is a question. In the press conference leading up to the Boxing Day Test, Rohit Sharma mentioned that Tanush Kotian has been added to the squad as a spin reserve. If you need spin back-ups for the final two Tests, why did you let your No. 1 spinner, Ashwin, retire? Rohit even said in Ashwin’s retirement press conference that he requested the bowler to stay back for the last two Tests. With the India captain clearly stating his preference, the burning question remains. Why did Ashwin retire mid-series? If both Washington and Jadeja make the playing XI for the Boxing Day Test, which seems a real possibility, going by how the MCG pitch traditionally plays,

the Indian team management would hope that they would make valuable contributions to complement the seamers.

T20 World Cup 2024 final: India wins in Barbados after 13-year draught

The ICC Men’s Twenty20 World Cup was won by India in a nail-biting final, edging out South Africa by seven runs. The match was a fitting climax to a sensational tournament, with both unbeaten teams battling fiercely for the prestigious title. India’s triumph marked their first T20 World Cup win in over a decade, while South Africa’s quest for their inaugural world title continues.

The Epic Battle Unfolds

The stage was set at the Kensington Oval, Barbados, where cricket fans worldwide were treated to an unforgettable final. India’s captain won the toss and opted to bat first, setting the tone for a high-stakes encounter.

India's Innings: Kohli's Masterclass

India posted a formidable total of 176/7, thanks in large part to an attritional 76 from the ever-reliable Virat Kohli. Despite losing key wickets early, with Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant falling in quick succession to Keshav Maharaj, and Suryakumar Yadav being dismissed cheaply by Kagiso Rabada, India managed to stabilize their innings.

Virat Kohli and Axar Patel formed a vital partnership, adding 72 runs for the fourth wicket. Their stand was broken by a superb piece of fielding from Quinton de Kock, who ran out Axar with a direct hit. Kohli continued to anchor the innings, forging another crucial partnership with Shivam Dube. However, South Africa made late inroads, with Anrich Nortje’s double strike in the final over, removing Dube and Ravindra Jadeja, limiting India’s total.

South Africa's Chase: De Kock and Klaasen's Heroics

South Africa’s chase began on a shaky note, losing Reeza Hendricks to a perfect delivery from Jasprit Bumrah in the second over, followed by Aiden Markram’s dismissal by Arshdeep Singh. Quinton de Kock steadied the ship, partnering with Tristan Stubbs for a 58-run stand.

After Stubbs fell to Axar Patel, Heinrich Klaasen joined de Kock, and the duo kept South Africa’s hopes alive. De Kock’s valuable 39 came to an end as he was caught by Kuldeep Yadav off Arshdeep Singh. David Miller and Klaasen then took the attack to the Indian bowlers, bringing the required run-rate down to a run a ball with 30 runs needed.

However, Klaasen’s departure for 52, caught behind off Hardik Pandya, and Miller’s dismissal in the final over to a brilliant catch by Suryakumar Yadav, turned the tide in India’s favor. Despite the best efforts of Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada, South Africa fell agonizingly short, finishing eight runs shy of the target.

Fan Reactions:

– “What a final! Kudos to both teams for such a thrilling game. Congrats India! #INDvsSA #T20WorldCupFinal”

– “Virat Kohli’s 76 was a masterclass under pressure. Well-deserved win for India! #ViratKohli #Cricket”

– “Heartbreak for South Africa, but they played brilliantly. Klaasen and De Kock were superb. #QuintonDeKock #HeinrichKlaasen”

India’s triumph in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa will be remembered as one of the most thrilling matches in cricket history. As the cricketing world celebrates, the players and fans look forward to more exciting contests and the next opportunity for glory on the global stage.

This triumph propels India into the final, where they will face South Africa. The anticipation is palpable, as fans gear up for what promises to be an epic showdown. The team’s journey has been nothing short of inspirational, marked by determination, skill, and a never-say-die attitude.

[ad_1] Bowlers dominated the proceedings on day 1 in Perth. (PC: X.com) With two fast bowlers captaining their sides, the much-anticipated opening day of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy saw relentless action, with 17 wickets falling. At stumps, Australia found themselves at 67/7, trailing India’s first-innings total of 150 by 83 runs. India holds the upper hand, thanks to a fiery display from their pace attack led by captain Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah was the standout performer, leading from the front after India managed only a modest total on a lively Perth pitch. The Indian skipper struck early to dismiss debutant Nathan McSweeney, setting the tone for the Australian collapse. Bumrah then removed Usman Khawaja and delivered the day’s biggest moment by dismissing Steve Smith for a duck. Bumrah’s extended spell proved decisive, as he dismantled Australia’s top order with a mix of accuracy and aggression. His lethal one-two punch, removing Khawaja and Smith in consecutive deliveries, firmly shifted momentum in India’s favor. Later, Bumrah had Marnus Labuschagne ducking and weaving to fend off a cleverly disguised change of pace, underlining his tactical brilliance. Mohammed Siraj and debutant Harshit Rana provided solid support. Rana claimed the crucial wicket of Travis Head with a peach of a delivery, while Siraj kept the pressure on the Australian batters. Labuschagne endured a painstaking 24-ball wait to score his first run, but his resistance didn’t last long. Mitchell Marsh attempted to steady the ship but was dismissed shortly after Labuschagne, and Australia’s innings continued to unravel. Reduced to 59/7, they face the possibility of being bowled out early on Day 2. Alex Carey remains the lone recognized batter, unbeaten on 19. Earlier in the day, India won the toss and opted to bat on a sporting Perth Stadium pitch. The opening combination of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal showed promise early on, but Jaiswal’s eagerness to drive led to his downfall. Mitchell Starc, who consistently pitched the ball up to extract swing, claimed the first wicket, sending Jaiswal back with a reckless drive. Josh Hazlewood was Australia’s standout bowler, delivering a masterclass in precision. While Starc targeted swing, Hazlewood bowled a slightly shorter length, probing the corridor of uncertainty. He accounted for Devdutt Padikkal’s wicket before producing an unplayable delivery to dismiss Virat Kohli. Batting outside his crease to negate the movement, Kohli fell to a length ball that reared up unexpectedly, catching him off guard. India’s troubles were compounded when KL Rahul, their most composed batter, was controversially given out by the TV umpire in what seemed like an instinctive rather than conclusive decision. Starc delivered a crucial blow just before lunch, leaving India teetering at 51/4. Post-lunch, India’s middle order struggled against the relentless Australian attack. Mitchell Marsh struck twice in quick succession, dismissing Dhruv Jurel, who had looked promising, and Washington Sundar, who poked at a delivery outside off-stump. Rishabh Pant was the lone batter who showed intent, balancing aggression with caution. He targeted Pat Cummins with some attacking strokes but eventually fell to the Australian captain, marking the first time Cummins had dismissed Pant in Test cricket. Debutant Nitish Reddy top-scored with 41, playing a gritty knock before becoming the last man out. India’s total of 150 was far from ideal, but Bumrah’s brilliance ensured they ended Day 1 on top. If the first day’s action is any indication, this Border-Gavaskar Trophy promises to be a thrilling contest.

IPL 2024 TEAM STRATEGIES: HOW EACH TEAM PLANS TO WIN

1. Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

The Chennai Super Kings, led by the legendary MS Dhoni, are known for their consistency and calm approach under pressure. In 2024, CSK will likely continue to rely on their tried-and-tested formula of experienced players combined with youthful exuberance. The core strategy revolves around a strong batting lineup, with seasoned campaigners like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali, supported by the finishing prowess of Dhoni. In the bowling department, Deepak Chahar’s ability to swing the ball and the spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner will be crucial. CSK's strategy will focus on building partnerships and using their spinners to control the middle overs.

2. Mumbai Indians (MI)

Mumbai Indians, the most successful franchise in IPL history, will once again bank on their star-studded lineup and depth in both batting and bowling. Captain Rohit Sharma will aim to lead from the front, while Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan will look to provide quick runs. The inclusion of overseas stars like Kieron Pollard and Tim David will add firepower to their middle order. MI’s pace attack, spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult, will be a key component of their strategy, focusing on early breakthroughs and effective death bowling. Their all-rounders, particularly Hardik Pandya, will play a significant role in balancing the team.

3. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)

With Virat Kohli stepping down as captain, RCB's strategy will undergo a subtle shift under the new leadership of Faf du Plessis. The batting order, featuring Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and AB de Villiers, will aim to score aggressively, especially in the powerplay and death overs. RCB’s strategy will also involve utilizing their fast bowlers like Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel to exploit early breakthroughs and maintain pressure throughout the innings. Spin will be vital, with Wanindu Hasaranga expected to be a game-changer in the middle overs.

4. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

KKR, under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, will focus on a balanced approach with a mix of youth and experience. The batting lineup will revolve around the aggressive starts by Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana, while the middle order will rely on Iyer’s stability and Andre Russell’s explosive hitting. KKR's strategy will heavily depend on their versatile bowling attack, featuring Pat Cummins' pace and Varun Chakravarthy's mystery spin. Their success will hinge on effective use of these bowlers to control the game's flow and restrict opposition scoring.

5. Delhi Capitals (DC)

The Delhi Capitals, led by Rishabh Pant, will aim to build on their recent successes. Their strategy will focus on a formidable top order featuring Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, and Pant himself. The batting depth, bolstered by all-rounders like Axar Patel, will be crucial. In bowling, the express pace of Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada will be key to their plans, with spinners like Ravichandran Ashwin providing control in the middle overs. DC will likely focus on maintaining a high run rate while deploying their fast bowlers to make early inroads into the opposition's batting lineup.

6. Punjab Kings (PBKS)

Punjab Kings, led by Shikhar Dhawan, will aim for aggressive batting strategies. With the likes of Mayank Agarwal, Jonny Bairstow, and Liam Livingstone, PBKS will look to set or chase high targets. Their bowling strategy will revolve around the pace of Arshdeep Singh and the spin of Rahul Chahar. The focus will be on exploiting powerplay overs with aggressive bowling and ensuring tight overs during the middle phase to build pressure.

7. Rajasthan Royals (RR)

Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals will adopt a strategy of leveraging their top-heavy batting lineup, featuring Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Samson himself. Their approach will focus on quick starts and maintaining a high scoring rate. In the bowling department, RR will rely on the experience of Trent Boult and the spin wizardry of Yuzvendra Chahal to take wickets at crucial junctures. Their all-rounders will provide the necessary balance to both innings.

8. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

SRH, under the leadership of Kane Williamson, will emphasize a strong bowling strategy. Their pace attack, featuring Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umran Malik, will aim to dominate the powerplay and death overs. Spin options like Rashid Khan will be pivotal in controlling the middle overs. SRH’s batting strategy will focus on Williamson’s anchoring role, with power hitters like Nicholas Pooran providing the firepower towards the end.

9. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants will aim to make a mark with a balanced squad. The strategy will revolve around Rahul and Quinton de Kock providing strong starts, while all-rounders like Marcus Stoinis and Krunal Pandya add depth. Their bowling will focus on pace spearheaded by Mark Wood and spin from Ravi Bishnoi. LSG will aim to be flexible, adapting their plans according to the match situation.
