Thoughts on our t20 wc squad :

Thank God Sanju, Jaiswal and Yuzi are in main 15.

It's mostly a very safe team... But here's a few concerns :

Bowlers. Siraj and arshdeep kitne form mein hai... We all know. And they dropped mukesh. We don't have any off spinner too.

Rishab Pant will be first priority as wk... And his t20I record is not good man.

He has played 66 t20i matches and his strike rate is 126 💀

I really hope after his recovery he has turned a new leaf and his performance will be better but... Yk.

Then Jadeja. 126 strike rate in 66 matches. And he's our finisher. 😭

Then Hardik Pandya. His performance in Ipl after he recovered from injury has been appalling. All I can do is pray he magicallly gets better and performs.

Other teams will have players like klassen, salt, Travis, etc.

We have Hardik and Jadeja.

And the guy who has a strike rate of 176 in t20I.....we have kept him reserved.

He will run around and hand over water bottles to others. 🙄

As for gill being in the reserve.... It makes perfect sense.

Jaiswal has a strike rate of 161 and gill has 148. Obviously Jaiswal is the better option.

And as for picking ruturaj or ishan ishan instead of gill for backup opener....

Well ishan has played 32 matches and has a strike rate of 124.

And Ruturaj has a strike rate of 140 in 19 matches.

So gill is a better choice as a backup opener.

It just pisses me off coz the selectors don't have complete faith on anyone and it really shows.

They don't fully trust the senior players...and they are not brave enough to completely let youngsters take the reigns.

Anyways.... Jo bhi hai yahi hai.

Really hope that we win this time because rohit, virat, Jadeja, Hardik, Rishab.... They all have a lot at stake and this might be the last wc they are playing in t20 format atleast.

🙏

'In the zone' Abhishek sharma salutes seniors for guiding him to century

Abhishek Sharma gave Suryakumar Yadav credit for his brilliant century in the fifth Twenty20 International against England, which enabled India win by 150 runs and win the series 4-1. Abhishek's 37-ball century was the second-fastest in India's men's Twenty20 International history.

"I was in the right frame of mind to respond to the ball. Following the game, Abhishek remarked, "I did not even know my score." "What are your thoughts, Surya [Suryakumar] paaji? I merely asked. He said, "You may take your time, take a couple of balls, since a wicket has fallen." That truly aided me; I would say that it was only thanks to him that I achieved my maximum score and the hundred. During that period, I was unaware that I would achieve the second-fastest hundred for India.

Abhishek got off to a quick start, reaching fifty runs in just seventeen balls. After nine overs, he was on 94 from 32 balls, and he was aiming to break Rohit Sharma's record of the fastest T20I century, which was set at 35 balls. He finished with the best individual score for India in men's Twenty20 Internationals, 135, off of 54 balls.

He remarked, "I never thought I should play till the end." "My response to the ball depends on the team's circumstances. Fortunately, Surya Paaji came in today when I was in my 80s or 90s and told me that since I had worked hard and played well thus far, I may take two or three balls. I felt that I should bat cautiously when the captain was [batting] with me and gave me instructions. "You have to play according to the scenario and bat till the end since you are hitting the ball well," Hardik [Pandya] advised when he entered the game. There are no better players to listen to in that circumstance than these three veteran players who have performed well for India, which is where Axar entered the picture.

It was a timely knock from Abhishek, who could compete for slots in the team once Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal return, especially because India will not be playing a Twenty20 International anytime soon. He maintained, however, that none of that was on his mind.

"I met Shubman and Jassu [Jaiswal] yesterday [at the BCCI awards]." We have been playing together since Under-16, therefore there has never been a competition between us. Playing for India was the only dream. There is no finer feeling than the three of us playing right now.

"Yesterday [at the BCCI awards], I had met Shubman and Jassu [Jaiswal]." Playing together since Under-16, we have never been in a competition. The desire to play for India was the only one. Now that we are all playing together, there is no finer sensation.

One of the leaders of India's high-intent batting model has been Abhishek. He has amassed 1893 runs in T20 cricket since the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2023–24 began. Only five batters in the world have scored more runs than Abhishek, and none of them have done so more quickly than his 199.47. In the SMAT that his home team, Punjab, won, he was named Player of the Tournament. Even the IPL 2024 runners-up Sunrisers Hyderabad benefited from his quick starts. What caused the change?

Abhishek stated, "I decided I should back myself and express myself after seeing the fruits of the hard work I put into [batting in a particular way] before that season." "I spent a lot of time around open nets practicing match scenarios. Play your shots, but make sure you do not get out, was the only thing Brian Lara had instructed me. That is what I was thinking of. I believed I could hit shots off the first or second ball as well because of that.

"You do not do much exploring when you are young, but I did that and realized I could play more purposefully and benefit the team. Your team will support you when you do successfully. I so reasoned that I must play this style on my day, whether it is for my franchise or Punjab. Naturally, it is a significant and unique occasion in India. I believed that I should nurture my ability if I possess it. You have to be clear about playing this manner, even though there are ups and downs.

Additionally, Abhishek emphasized the contribution Yuvraj Singh, a former all-rounder for India, has made to his game.

"Yuvi Paaji believed in me, put all of these thoughts in my head, and was always there for me." You also strive to believe in yourself and give it your all when Yuvraj Singh says that you will play for the country and win games. He is the one I listen to, and we have a conversation after each game. I do not know him as well as he does. The greatest source of inspiration for a young player on the squad is hearing from their coach and captain that they must play this way and that they would always support them. I recall Hardik Paaji and Suryapaaji encouraging me in South Africa, "Just believe in yourself, and you will definitely make some runs." The greatest incentive for any player is their belief in them, thus I am thankful that Gauti [head coach Gautam Gambhir] paaji returned in this series."

[ad_1] Varun once again started with the ball for his team. (PC: BCCI) Although England fired in fits and starts, eventually, India emerged victorious in the five-match T20I series, taking an unassailable 3-1 lead with a hard-fought win in Pune. So, what were the hits and misses in relation to the home team? Who were some of the star performers for the home side? And what are the areas of concern? Here’s a lowdown on India’s series win. Hits: Varun Chakaravarthy bamboozling the English batters: Varun was here, Varun was there, and Varun was everywhere—that is how the English batters might be feeling after getting befuddled time and again by the mainstay of the Indian attack. He has 12 wickets at an astonishing average of 9.41. His economy rate of 7.06 also makes for good reading. This is basically Varun 3.0, where his bowling isn’t just restricted to variations. His control has improved significantly—more often than not, he is landing his deliveries on a good length spot and hitting higher up on the sticker of the bat. He hardly gives any room for the batters to free their arms. Alongside overspin, Varun has also been looking to impart a little more side-spin. His ability to vary the pace and make subtle changes in lines and lengths has also been on display. Hardik Pandya’s all-round show: Hardik’s contribution to the side can be seen by the fact that he has taken five wickets at an average of just under 19 in the T20I rubber. He was also a cornerstone of India’s victory in Pune, cracking a blazing fifty. It was his partnership with Shivam Dube that laid the platform for India’s recovery. Hardik’s no-look, lofted shot while facing Jofra Archer encapsulated the essence of his pyrotechnics further. The ever-reliable Axar Patel and the surprise weapon: Axar might not do a great deal with the ball, but he reaps the rewards for keeping it simple. The left-arm spinner has bagged six wickets at an average of 16.5 in the series. His overall T20 record also backs the assertion that he is a fine utility cricketer: 239 wickets at an economy rate of just over 7. He also showcased his prowess with the bat in the T20 World Cup final in Barbados. Harshit Rana turned out to be India’s game-changer in the crucial fourth T20I. The pacer employed hit-the-deck skills, alongside pace and variations, to bag three wickets. Rana being used as a concussion substitute for Dube will always come under scrutiny. But there is no doubt that he has the potential to be a wicket-taker across formats. Arshdeep Singh making incisions in the first over in the opening two games was also instrumental in India coming out on top. Varun dismissed Brook for the second consecutive time in the series. (PC: X.com) Misses: Suryakumar Yadav continues to struggle with the willow: Ever since taking over as the T20I skipper, Suryakumar’s form has nosedived. Especially over the last couple of series India have played, he has aggregated a mere 52 runs in eight matches. At times, it feels as if the hard length is rushing him a bit. The think tank would hope that age isn’t catching up with one of India’s bedrocks in the shortest format. Sanju Samson and miscued pulls: Jofra Archer (thrice) and Saqib Mahmood (once) have been successful in dismissing Samson with the short/short-of-a-length ball. The right-hand batter doesn’t always go back and across while playing the pull, or rather he likes to pull on the front foot. Somewhere, the extra lift, especially from Archer, seems to be troubling him a touch. What to make of Abhishek Sharma? The right-hand batter is the highest run-getter in the series so far, with 144 runs to his name. There is a school of thought that he throws his wicket away too often. However, that point can be negated by the fact that the Powerplay is an important factor in the shortest version of the game. And Abhishek’s high-risk approach is set to help in India’s endeavor to make full Use of the first six overs. The post Hits and Misses – Varun, the Cornerstone of

The average first innings score in One Day Internationals (ODIs) is 322, and teams that bat first win all four of the matches that are played here. Australia's score of 352/7 against India is the highest ever recorded.

The average first innings score in Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) is 189, suggesting a high-scoring atmosphere. India's total of 228/5 is the highest ever.

Because of surface wear and tear, the pitch tends to favor batsmen early in the game, with spinners becoming more successful as play goes on.

Teams that bat second win six out of ten domestic Twenty20 matches, with an average first innings total of 169. Royal Challengers Bangalore's 213/2 total is the highest in these games.

Depending on the circumstances of the match and the pitch, the Rajkot pitch generally presents a fair game with chances for both bowlers and batsmen.

IND vs ENG Winner:

The visitors need to improve significantly since India can also go a few levels in this game, even though it would be unusual if England were as unlucky, especially with the bat. We anticipate another home win since we do not think that will occur. It is anticipated that India will win this match given the lineup.

Introduction to IPL 2025 Mega Auction

The IPL Mega Auction is a pivotal event that marks the beginning of every IPL season. This auction allows franchises to buy and sell players, reshuffling their squads for the upcoming season. The process plays a vital role in determining the success of teams, as well-planned purchases can significantly enhance a team’s chances of winning the prestigious IPL trophy.

The auction consists of two key phases: the first focuses on releasing and retaining players, while the second is the auction itself, where franchises bid for players. Teams are required to build a balanced squad that includes local and international talents, with specific attention to key areas such as batting, bowling, and all-round capabilities.

As the IPL 2025 season approaches, the Mega Auction provides a fresh opportunity for franchises to strengthen their squads, making it one of the most eagerly awaited events in the cricketing world.
