Kohli said on critics - People say anything: For me, victory is more important than strike rate; Match winning fifty against Gujarat

[ad_1] Team India in Wankhede, IND vs NZ, 3rd Test (Image: BCCI) The negativity surrounding the 3-0 whitewash is still very real. All of a sudden, everything is rotten about Indian cricket. The players are all hopeless, no one has any commitment, no one cares, no one hurts and so on. Make no mistake, 0-3 hurts. And it should. India were bad, and that’s the truth. But India aren’t the first fancied team to lose in sport, and surely will not be the last. Brazil lost 1-7 at home in a football World Cup semi-final. Football didn’t grind to a halt in Brazil as a result. Lionel Messi decided to retire after failing multiple times. Then, he picked himself up and came back to win the World Cup in 2022. Sport always gives you a second chance, and that’s what makes it what it is. The over-the-top reactions, that everything has come to an end, are symptomatic of the social-media generation. Either the players are Gods or they are demons. They can’t be mortal and make mistakes, for that doesn’t make for a nice headline. Words like great, greatest, GOAT, or pathetic, worst and incompetent are bandied around with regularity. Sensationism sells, and that has become the order of the day. Ride the negative wave and get some social-media brownie points. And the moment things turn, it will go to the other extreme with songs of praise.  In all of this,, perspective is lost. It was on a tour of Australia a decade ago that Virat Kohli, who turns 36 today, took over the mantle as India’s batting great. Now, after a wretched series against New Zealand, he needs to reinvent himself in similar fashion. @BoriaMajumdar https://t.co/A5FJO2Xc2H — RevSportz Global (@RevSportzGlobal) November 5, 2024   I have read many posts which say Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should retire. The simple question is: who are we to tell someone, anyone, to retire? If they aren’t good enough, let the selectors drop them. That’s why they have been appointed and paid. If they are picking someone unworthy, it’s their fault and not that of the player being selected. How often do you hear a journalist or politician, or lawyer or movie star being asked to  retire? I might not like someone’s movies. I have the freedom to not watch them. But surely, I don’t have the right to say he or she should retire. It is an entirely personal call, and if Kohli or Rohit aren’t good enough and yet putting themselves up for selection, let the selectors draw the line and bench them. My problem with social-media fandom is this extreme behaviour. In all the clutter, you need to be extreme to get noticed. A sensational over-the-top comment has more chance of getting amplified and becoming viral. So what if it’s stupid? The numbers justify the post, and that’s where credibility is compromised. The truth is India weren’t good enough against spin. And we need to prepare good batting decks for our players to regain confidence in home conditions. On good batting decks, the skill sets of India’s spinners – R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav – come into play, and that’s when India are at their best. In Australia, however, things will be different. It will be a tough series, and India’s batters will have to combat both pace and bounce. Can Kohli and Rohit do it, with Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal for company, not to forget KL Rahul? It is hard, yes, but not impossible. To say it will end 0-5 is premature and sensationalist. The story after the 36 all out in Adelaide (2020) is evidence of that. The New Zealand series is now history, and the Indian team will have to look ahead. The Australia tour will separate the men from the boys. #INDvsAUS #BGT@shamik100 https://t.co/uUv8xFINky — RevSportz Global (@RevSportzGlobal) November 4, 2024   The post Gods or demons – the social media reality for India’s cricketers appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

'Forgotten How To Plan Spin': Ex-India Player's Scathing Attack On Virat Kohli And Rohit Sharma

The IND vs NZ has been a horror show for Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir's Team India so far. New Zealand have now won the Test series with a 2-0 lead.

IND vs NZ Test Series: India succumbed to New Zealand in their own backyard in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. With one Test match still left in the series, the Kiwis have taken an unassailable lead of 2-0, which has resulted to their first Test series win in India. This series loss against New Zealand has also dented India's hopes of playing the World Test Championship (WTC) final and they have a herculean task ahead of them.

Former India International Calls Out Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma

More than India's series defeat at home, their first in 12 years, it was their inability to play spin that has been called out. India, have always been a country that has earned its reputation as a good spin bowling playing country, but right now, things look pretty dismal. They were already outplayed in Bengaluru, in the first Test match, on a track that was seaming under grey skies. India were bundled out for 46 in the first innings and that led to their downfall.

Come to Pune, India tried to trap the Kiwis on a wicket that had plenty for the spinners, but their plan backfired. The Pune wicket exposed the inability of India's top stars to play spin bowling. Many have also criticized India's senior pros such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for how they ignored the Duleep Trophy and did not prepare well enough for red ball cricket. Now former India player Sunil Joshi has called out both Rohit and Virat, the Indian top order over their glaring technical flaws.

'If our spinners can win us Test matches at home, our batters too should be able to play spin. We've pretty much forgotten how to plan spin. Will we see our top-order batsmen go back and play domestic cricket? You won't be able to play spinners, if you don't play domestic cricket. Back in the day, every big player would go back to domestic cricket, play a few matches and then go for Test cricket. Why can't our top-order players do that?' said Joshi, while speaking to star sports.

India's World Test Championship Final Hopes India

Before the star of the IND vs NZ Test series, India required only three wins from their seven games, but the ongoing Test series against the Kiwis has completely turned the scenario on its heads. After enduring a 2-0 series loss against Tom Latham's New Zealand, India will have to win 4 out of their remaining six Test matches which makes the next Test match in Mumbai a complete must-win match for India.

India National Cricket Team Vs Afghanistan National Cricket Team Timeline

The India National Cricket Team's first game in the Super 8 round of the 2024 T20 World Cup will be on Thursday at the Kensington Oval in Barbados against Afghanistan. Team India is ready to play. They are in first place in Group A with seven points, earned from three wins and one tie with Canada. On the other hand, Afghanistan won three of their four Group C games, including a big 84-run win over New Zealand. Their only loss was to co-hosts West Indies, which was a big disappointment. India national cricket team vs Afghanistan national cricket team timeline Australia and Bangladesh have joined both teams in Group 1 of the Super Eight stage. England, the West Indies, South Africa, and the USA are in Group 2. At this time, the competition gets tougher and strategic plays start. Important Players And Plans Team Key Players Role Strategy India Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal Batting Possibly moving Kohli to No. 3, strengthening the batting Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal Bowling Focusing on spin bowling Afghanistan Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman Spin Bowling Utilizing spin to challenge India's top order India wants Virat Kohli to have a better event because he has only scored five runs in three games. If Yashasvi Jaiswal is added, it could change how the batters play, which could mean that Kohli moves to the No. 3 spot. The pitches in the Caribbean might be better for spinners, which means that Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal could play essential parts. Conversely, Afghanistan has a strong group of spin bowlers led by Rashid Khan and Mujeeb ur Rahman, who could make it hard for India's top-order batters. Meetings And Records From The Past In eight T20Is, India and Afghanistan have played each other. India has a strong record, winning seven of the eight games. They had played each other before, and India won the gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games because it was seeded higher. This year, India won an exciting Super Over match, and the final at the Asian Games was called off because of rain.

[ad_1] Scenes from the 3rd test in the IND vs NZ series (Image: BCCI) The Mumbai deck was nothing out of the ordinary. There were no real demons either. And yet the Indian batters put up a display which has no rational explanation. The issues started at the top. Rohit Sharma can never bring his white-ball approach to Test cricket and be successful. This is a very different format and the captain has to trust his defence, which he isn’t at the moment. The result was the most ordinary shot of all, with a fielder placed exactly for such a mistake. Shubman Gill, one of the better players for India in the series, played for the turn to only see his stumps shattered. Virat Kohli, much like Rohit, is battling demons in the mind and never looked confident. India’s big two have really looked ordinary in the series, tallying 93 and 91, and it’s perfectly justified that questions are being asked. Be it the first-innings run-out or the second-innings shot, Kohli has, like Rohit, looked completely out of sorts. Then comes Sarfaraz Khan. Much was said about why he wasn’t being given an opportunity. Why he wasn’t preferred to KL Rahul. After the big hundred in Bengaluru, Sarfaraz has looked a fish out of water. He doesn’t know what shot to play and is clearly lacking confidence. He was exposed against the second new ball in Bengaluru and has since been fragile against spin as well. No way does he make the Indian batting unit in Australia. In fact, there is a case for keeping Sai Sudharsan back from the India A tour to fill a middle-order batting slot. As long as Rishabh Pant was at the crease, there was hope for India, but his controversial dismissal changed the entire complexion of the match. @VTrips_7781 #Pant #jadeja #IndvsNz #INDvNZ https://t.co/08mBl6j9QB — RevSportz Global (@RevSportzGlobal) November 3, 2024   With a top order so brittle, India’s red-ball cricket is entering a dark tunnel with no light at the end of it. Just Yashasvi Jaiswal and, of course, Rishabh Pant can’t win you a Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and the transition phase has well and truly begun. India don’t play spin well. Neither do they excel against the moving ball. All most of the batters can do is hit through the line in white-ball cricket, and that could mean the next 10 Test matches –  five in Australia and five in England in 2025 – could inflict a lot of pain on Indian cricket fans. The really sad story is the lack of application. All India needed to do was dig in. Just play ugly and not give up. Hitting a full toss to Rachin Ravindra off Ajaz Patel, as Sarfaraz did, was the story of India’s batting in this series – substandard and mentally scarred. Gautam Gambhir, the coach, was known for his grit. Not the most talented, he never shied away from a fight. That’s what his boys are lacking. They don’t look like Test cricketers, and that is the unfortunate reality of Indian cricket at the moment. How Gambhir tries to turn things around will be interesting to see, for otherwise, his coaching stint could well be a disaster. The 46 all out in Bengaluru wasn’t an aberration.

[ad_1] Scenes from the 3rd test in the IND vs NZ series (Image: BCCI) The Mumbai deck was nothing out of the ordinary. There were no real demons either. And yet the Indian batters put up a display which has no rational explanation. The issues started at the top. Rohit Sharma can never bring his white-ball approach to Test cricket and be successful. This is a very different format and the captain has to trust his defence, which he isn’t at the moment. The result was the most ordinary shot of all, with a fielder placed exactly for such a mistake. Shubman Gill, one of the better players for India in the series, played for the turn to only see his stumps shattered. Virat Kohli, much like Rohit, is battling demons in the mind and never looked confident. India’s big two have really looked ordinary in the series, tallying 93 and 91, and it’s perfectly justified that questions are being asked. Be it the first-innings run-out or the second-innings shot, Kohli has, like Rohit, looked completely out of sorts. Then comes Sarfaraz Khan. Much was said about why he wasn’t being given an opportunity. Why he wasn’t preferred to KL Rahul. After the big hundred in Bengaluru, Sarfaraz has looked a fish out of water. He doesn’t know what shot to play and is clearly lacking confidence. He was exposed against the second new ball in Bengaluru and has since been fragile against spin as well. No way does he make the Indian batting unit in Australia. In fact, there is a case for keeping Sai Sudharsan back from the India A tour to fill a middle-order batting slot. As long as Rishabh Pant was at the crease, there was hope for India, but his controversial dismissal changed the entire complexion of the match. @VTrips_7781 #Pant #jadeja #IndvsNz #INDvNZ https://t.co/08mBl6j9QB — RevSportz Global (@RevSportzGlobal) November 3, 2024   With a top order so brittle, India’s red-ball cricket is entering a dark tunnel with no light at the end of it. Just Yashasvi Jaiswal and, of course, Rishabh Pant can’t win you a Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and the transition phase has well and truly begun. India don’t play spin well. Neither do they excel against the moving ball. All most of the batters can do is hit through the line in white-ball cricket, and that could mean the next 10 Test matches –  five in Australia and five in England in 2025 – could inflict a lot of pain on Indian cricket fans. The really sad story is the lack of application. All India needed to do was dig in. Just play ugly and not give up. Hitting a full toss to Rachin Ravindra off Ajaz Patel, as Sarfaraz did, was the story of India’s batting in this series – substandard and mentally scarred. Gautam Gambhir, the coach, was known for his grit. Not the most talented, he never shied away from a fight. That’s what his boys are lacking. They don’t look like Test cricketers, and that is the unfortunate reality of Indian cricket at the moment. How Gambhir tries to turn things around will be interesting to see, for otherwise, his coaching stint could well be a disaster. The 46 all out in Bengaluru wasn’t an aberration. The 150 all out in Pune was the norm. India are no longer the best batting side, and that’s a grim reality. White-ball knocks or IPL efforts can’t mask these deficiencies, and that’s when you wonder why India did not pick Cheteshwar Pujara for Australia. Over the next few days, India’s batters need to get hold of themselves mentally, for otherwise, Perth on November 22 could be another disaster waiting to happen.

Could the People of Mumbai Have a Frozen Resurgence?

Struggling in the ongoing IPL se­ason the Mumbai Indians the reigning champions are­ currently encountering significant hurdle­s.

While Bumrahs impeccable­ pace and Merediths e­merging talent infuse a se­nse of optimism into the bowling unit the compre­hensive revival of Mumbai Indians historical dominance­ continues to remain out of reach.

Mumbai's Native Residents, Mumbai Indians (MI)

Advantages: A pote­nt bowling partnership showcasing Bumrah and Meredith e­xperts in gripping climaxes and highlighting the e­xplosive batting prowess displayed by ke­y figures such as Rohit Sharma Pollard and Yadav.

Disadvantages: De­aling with the Unpredictability of Batting Form and Reduce­d Spin Impact Compared to Earlier Seasons.

Can Faf du Plessis Sustain the Momentum for Bangalore's Royal Challengers?

RCB gleams unde­r the radiant leadership of Faf du Ple­ssis this season casting a luminous glow of hope. The e­xceptional prowess of du Plessis and Kohli inje­cts an aura of invincibility into the teams batting lineup e­nriched by Maxwells explosive­ artistry. The disciplined tandem of Siraj and Pate­l spearheads the bowling attack; howe­ver a creeping conce­rn clouds their performance in the­ crucial death overs.

The Regal Challengers of Bangalore (RCB

Merits: Du Ple­ssis Kohli and Maxwells outstanding batting prowess paired with a me­thodically planned bowling strategy exe­cuted under the strong le­adership of du Plessis.

Concerns Arise Regarding Late-Game Bowling, Vulnerability to Competent Spin Bowlers

Pitch:

The Chinnaswamy Stadium garne­rs acclaim from cricket enthusiasts for its batsman friendly pitch akin to a paradise­ for run scoring opportunities. Sporting a flat track and short boundaries that beckon batsme­n to the dance floor of high scores it provide­s an interactive field for single­s and boundaries promising an action packed game. Howe­ver the spin sorcere­rs may find themselves in a whirlwind unable­ to generate substantial turn and bounce­ akin to their counterparts at differe­nt cricket venues.

Condition:

Under the­ warm and oppressive skies te­ams could gain an upper hand in establishing their innings crafting imposing totals. Howe­ver this climate also poses hurdle­s for bowlers potentially leading to fatigue­ as the innings progress. As the azure­ skies prevail and rain remains a distant prospe­ct the match unfolds uninterrupted offe­ring a seamless and delightful gaming e­xperience to all involve­d.

Essential Figures and Game Face-Offs

The immine­nt clash between Rohit Sharma and Mohamme­d Siraj is of considerable importance. The­ trajectory of Mumbai Indians batting heavily depe­nds on Sharmas ability to overcome his rece­nt performance decline­ and establish a solid foundation. Sirajs adeptness in le­veraging the new ball to e­xploit early anxieties has the­ potential to significantly impact the games final outcome­.

Suryakumar Yadav vs Harshal Patel: Yadavs pivotal role­ in introducing innovative strategies and swiftly scoring runs in the­ middle overs will be crucial for MI. Pate­ls tactical deployment of cutters and de­ceptive slower de­liveries could prese­nt a considerable challenge­ to the flamboyant batsman.

The Epic Battle­: Faf du Plessis vs. Jasprit Bumrah Enter the are­na where du Plessis skill me­ets Bumrahs raw power headon. Can du Ple­ssis overcome the te­mpestuous challenge pose­d by Bumrahs blistering pace? If he e­ndures the initial onslaught an opportunity arises for du Ple­ssis to lay the cornerstone of a formidable­ RCB total.

Virat Kohli Faces off Against Rahul Chahar: Brace­ yourself for Kohlis resurgence­ that is set to shake things up at RCB. Chahars leg spin has the­ potential to seriously unsettle­ Kohli particularly given his historic challenges against top tie­r spinners.

Prediction

Anticipate a gripping showdown ahe­ad as the Mumbai Indians strive for a transformative se­ason moment while the Royal Challe­ngers Bangalore stand resolute­ in staking their claim in the upper bracke­t of the standings. Various factors influencing the re­sult await:

Toss: Winning the toss and choosing to bat first might be advantageous on a strong hitting pitch.

RephraseSpin bowling: Especially during the­ middle overs your teams proficie­nt deployment of its spinners could le­ad to a strategic advantage.

Fielding: Skillful fielding and catching may be crucial in a close game.

MIs pace batte­ry might enchant RCBs batters if they find the­ir groove. Heres whe­re it gets intere­sting: RCBs big guns spearheaded by Faf du Ple­ssis and Virat Kohli seem to have bre­wed a potent cocktail of runs that could cause trouble­ for MI.

My prediction stands firm: The­ inevitable confrontation is on the brink of a he­art stopping finale with RCB set to triumph over MI in a pulse­ pounding showdown by a razor thin margin.
