Rohit Sharma will continue to be India’s white-ball skipper and Virat Kohli will continue to bat at No. 3.  Rohit has been excellent in white-ball cricket in the last year and more, and played a pivotal role in his teams run in the 50-over World Cup on home soil (2023) and the T20 World Cup win in the US and Caribbean a few months later. The same can be said for Kohli. He scored over 700 runs in the 50-over tournament and, despite a modest T20 World Cup, played a defining innings in the final.  To Kohli first. His problems in Australia stemmed from poking outside the off stump. He continued to chase balls on the fifth or sixth stump and inevitably got out to catches at second or third slip or by the keeper. In white-ball cricket, these pokes or dabs will usually get him a single to third man. Except at the start of his innings, when captains might just put in a lone slip, chances are the cordon will be empty and it will turn into a percentage shot for a single.

India slip to 107/4 at tea on day 1

Sydney: India recovered to 107 for 4 at tea on the opening day of the fifth and final Test against Australia here Friday. The visitors added 50 runs in the second session while losing the sole wicket of Virat Kohli (17). Rishabh Pant (32) and Ravindra Jadeja (11) were manning the crease when tea was taken. Opting to bat, India had lost KL Rahul (4), Yashasvi Jaiswal (10) and Shubman Gill (20) in…

Mitchell Starc, the left-arm spearhead, showed his mastery of the pink ball as he took a career-best 6-48 to dismantle India on day one of the second Test in Adelaide. Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first, hoping to cash in on the Adelaide Oval pitch. However, Starc's early breakthrough, trapping Yashasvi Jaiswal lbw with the first ball of the match, set the tone for a challenging day for India. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli were the two wickets to fall, after which Starc went on to destroy the tail of the Indian team. His previous best figures of 6-50 went by the wayside, giving him a stamp as the most devastating bowler in day-night Test cricket.

In response, Australia endured a testing spell under the lights, but early wickets from Jasprit Bumrah, who is also celebrating his 31st birthday today, brought hope. Nathan McSweeney survived a dropped catch and along with Marnus Labuschagne steered Australia into the session, with the match now delicately poised at stumps. Read the full article

Litton Das and Rishabh Pant experienced a difficult moment during the first Test match between India and Bangladesh in Chennai. India was struggling at 34/3, with Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Viral Kohli back in the pavilion. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Pant were attempting to form a collaboration.

Taskin Ahmed produced a full delivery in the 16th over, which Jaiswal smashed toward mid-on. Pant was going for a single when the ball swerved off his leg, allowing him to finish the run.

Litton Das was not thrilled with this and spoke with Pant about his displeasure. Many people talked about the incident on Twitter as it garnered attention on social media.

Najmul Hossain Shanto, the captain of Bangladesh, won the toss and chose to bowl first on the dry Chennai field. The choice proved advantageous as Rohit Sharma was removed in the sixth over. India's problems got worse when Shubman Gill was out without adding a run, leaving the team at 28/2.

Virat Kohli then came in with hopes of stabilizing the innings, but Hasan Mahmud soon dismissed him for a low score. It was left to Pant and Jaiswal to reconstruct the innings.

By the time lunch arrived, India had bounced back. Pant scored 33 off 44 balls and Jaiswal 37 off 62 balls. They formed a 50-run partnership while looking at ease in the middle.

Afghanistan National Cricket Team Vs. India National Cricket Team Timeline

There was a lot of debate and tension as the third Twenty20 International between India and Afghanistan ended. There were questions because it wasn't clear whether Rohit Sharma was "retired out" or "retired hurt" during the first super-over. If it were the first one, Sharma wouldn't have been able to bat again, but he did, which suggests a clever move based on the rules' lack of clarity. The game was fascinating, and the regular match ended in a tie at 212. Rohit's excellent hundred, coming after two ducks in the earlier games, was the game's high point. India returned from a dangerous 22 for four thanks to his heroics and a record fifth-wicket combination. This set up a nail-biting finish. Afghanistan, on the other hand, didn't give up and made it to a super over. Let's dive deep into the Afghanistan National Cricket Team vs. India National Cricket Team Timeline.

"Love To Look At Things In Positive Manner": Sanju Samson Ahead Of ICC T20 WC 2024 Opener

Ahead of their opener against Ireland in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson said that he positively looks at things while reflecting on failures and successes in his career.

Samson, who made his international debut in 2014 in a T20I match, has had ups and downs, having played just 25 T20Is and 16 ODIs for India over the last decade.

His T20 stats have been disappointing as he has scored just 374 runs at an average of 18.70 with one half-century. a strike rate of 133.09 and the best score of 77.

Samson has made his way into the T20 WC squad after a career-best Indian Premier League (IPL) which helped take Rajasthan Royals (RR) to the playoffs. He scored 531 runs at an average of 48.27 and a strike rate of 153.46, with five half-centuries. His best score was 86*.

The Kerala-born cricketer asserted that at the time when a cricketer is young and successful, he tries to skip a few lessons.

"I love to look at things in a more positive manner. If it's a failure or setback, you learn through it. When you are young and successful, you skip a few lessons. I am blessed with my talent, which comes naturally to me as a batter" Samson said in a video posted by BCCI.

The 29-year-old further stated that right from the moment he arrived in the United States, he had taken out all the things regarding Indian Premier which is in his mind.

"Right from the moment I landed here, IPL has been away from my mind. I tell myself that I am somewhere where people dream of going. Then I was like, what else do I need to do? Mentally I did not have to motivate myself. Things happen automatically. When you meet Rohit and Virat, you get inspired and there is no looking back. How can Sanju help India win more games, what it is like to be a WC player for India? I am very grateful for the support wherever I go," the wicketkeeper added.

In the end, Samson said that he loves to change and adapt according to the conditions.

"The biggest lesson as a cricketer and human is that the change is constant. You cannot say that this is the only way to play. I love to change and adapt as per conditions. You can't be the same Sanju Samson," the right-hand batter concluded.

India will start their T20 World Cup campaign on June 5 against Ireland at the newly constructed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

The blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan will take place on June 9. India will later play tournament co-hosts USA (June 12) and Canada (June 15) to wrap up their Group A matches.

In the tournament, India will be aiming to end their ICC trophy drought, having last won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. Since then, India has reached the 50-over World Cup final in 2023, semifinal in 2015 and 2019, the title clash of the ICC World Test Championship in 2021 and 2023, T20 WC final in 2014, semifinals in 2016 and 2022 but failed to secure a big ICC trophy.

India squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Hardik Pandya (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK), Sanju Samson (WK), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. SirajReserves: Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan.

IPL 2024: Once He Starts Facing More Balls, He Will Score Lot Of Runs, Broad Reflects On Buttler s Lean Patch

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former England cricketer Stuart Broad shared insights on Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler's form in the ongoing IPL season, suggesting that once the wicket-keeper batter begins facing more deliveries, he will accumulate a higher run tally. Buttler, who had a stellar performance during the 2022 IPL season, where he amassed 863 runs featuring four centuries, struggled to find his rhythm in the 2024 tournament. His initial three games yielded modest scores of 11, 11, and 13, indicating a lacklustre start to the season. Acknowledging Buttler's recent lean patch since the 50-over World Cup in India and his struggles with the leadership of England team, Broad expressed optimism about the 33-year-old wicketkeeper batter's fresh approach in IPL. "He's been in a bit of a lean patch since the 50-over World Cup in India. He struggled with the leadership of the England team and appeared physically and emotionally tired. However, I believe he's coming into this IPL refreshed. Although he hasn't quite found his form in this tournament yet, he's been dismissed twice by some pretty good bowling," Broad told official broadcaster Star Sports. Broad anticipates that IPL 2024 could be the platform for Buttler to shine, especially given his strong partnership with fellow opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, potentially propelling the Rajasthan Royals into the playoffs contention. "I think this will be the tournament where he plays well. He has a great relationship with Jaiswal at the top of the order, and if both of them fire, Rajasthan Royals will certainly make the playoffs, if not challenge for the trophy. So, I think we need to be patient with him. Once he starts facing a lot of balls, he's going to score a lot of runs in this tournament," he added. Rajasthan are currently second in the points table with three wins in as many as matches. They will play host to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their next match on Saturday at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Read the full article

[ad_1] Australia vs India, 5th Test at the SCG (PC: Debasis Sen) Subhayan Chakraborty at SCG Another day, another batting collapse—or rather, a shaky batting performance—as the Indian team seemed to retreat into a shell, handing Australia a slight advantage, on Day 1 of the first innings of the Pink Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The visitors were bowled out for just 185 runs. This has been the recurring narrative for the Indian team since the start of the 2024-25 season, whether against Bangladesh, New Zealand at home, or now in Australia. The lack of runs has turned into a daily saga, with dismissals following a predictable pattern. On Day 1 of the New Year’s Test, after going down 1-2 in the series, despite the opening win, the Indian team appeared bogged down. Reports during the last few days have suggested unrest in the dressing room under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir. Even regular captain Rohit Sharma was dropped for the fifth and final Test due to an underwhelming batting performance. Jasprit Bumrah at the toss emphasised on “unity in the dressing room,” noting that Rohit had decided to “rest himself.” Has the criticism from newspapers and social media penetrated the Indian dressing room, which has claimed for years not to be bothered by ‘outside noise’? It certainly seemed so. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul found themselves in two minds during their dismissals. Jaiswal misjudged the seam movement from Boland, while Rahul casually flicked a delivery straight to Sam Konstas. Shubman Gill, who replaced Rohit in the lineup, edged one just before Lunch, and Virat Kohli yet again poked at a delivery outside the off-stump, gifting his wicket to Boland. Rishabh Pant adopted an ultra-defensive approach, contrary to his natural game, while Ravindra Jadeja managed a strike rate of just 27. Nitish Kumar Reddy was caught in the slips like Kohli, and Washington Sundar was given out for 14. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Scott Boland at the SCG (PC: Debasis Sen) “In this innings, I wasn’t in a frame of mind where I wanted to take charge of the game because the wicket was doing too much and the kind of situation we were in, I felt I could play a little bit of defensive cricket,” Rishabh Pant told reporters after the end of Day 1 in Sydney. “Yes, there is time to attack but you have to feel it from inside. I can’t just premeditate that I am going to play this way. Whatever the game asks me to do on that given day, I try to do that. That was the mindset. “It is not very difficult (to curb attacking instincts). Initial part would be difficult, but sometimes you have to play more sensible cricket. There might be 50-50 chances in today’s innings which I could have taken, but sometimes you have to play more secure cricket especially the way the wicket was behaving, knowing that if we lose another wicket then we might lose two or three more in quick succession. That was the idea behind how I was playing today. Pretty fine with the way I am playing,” he added. India chose to bat first on an overcast day. Whether the decision to bat was correct or not can be deliberated upon, with Australia, too, wanting to have a bat in case they won the toss. The pitch was not unplayable but offered more than enough assistance to the pacers, who capitalised on it. At Tea, with India still in the game at 107/4, Boland had induced 40.2% false shots from the Indian batters. Cummins was at 25.8%, Starc at 19.1%, Nathan Lyon at 8.2%, and debutant Beau Webster, bowling in the 120s, at 22.4%. Before the Sydney Test, in his first press conference of the tour, head coach Gautam Gambhir admitted to having “honest” conversations in the dressing room following the Melbourne defeat. This came after reports that Gambhir had sharply criticised certain players, stating “Bohut ho gaya” (enough is enough). “I don’t think I need to answer any reports. There were some honest words. That’s all I can say,” Gambhir stated. “Honesty is extremely important if you want to achieve great things,” he added on Thursday.

Yashasvi Jaiswal at the SCG (PC: Debasis Sen) Gambhir lashed out at the team after the Melbourne loss, where Australia secured a 2-1 lead with a 184-run victory. Post-match, he had one-on-one discussions with a couple of players. The batters, instructed to ‘play according to the situation’ rather than their natural style, seemed to retreat into a shell. While Jaiswal and Rahul tried to leave deliveries to counter the new ball, Gill lost his wicket right before lunch. This was the sixth instance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy where Kohli edged a delivery in the channel. This series has been a rollercoaster for India. After the high of Perth, the team’s confidence seemed to wane. Test legend Ravichandran Ashwin retired mid-series after being dropped in Brisbane. The lineup has seen constant changes since the first Test; Sundar was dropped after Perth, Ashwin after Adelaide, and Gill after Brisbane. KL Rahul’s batting position has been shuffled, and Harshit Rana has not featured in the XI since his impressive debut in Perth followed by a lacklustre performance in Adelaide. On Day 1 in Sydney, the Indian batters appeared to lack security and seemed fearful of further criticism or being dropped from the side, leading to a defensive ‘blockathon’ that stifled the run-rate. Jaiswal’s strike rate was 38.46, Rahul’s 28.57, Gill’s 31.25, Kohli’s 24.64, Pant’s 40.82, Jadeja’s 27.37, and Sundar’s 46.67. Indian players, used to being stars, are not accustomed to such stern critiques, especially post-loss. Did that affect their batting? While Indian batters are allowed to play defensively, to retreat into a shell, and to block or leave deliveries, was this approach necessary on a pitch, against a pace attack, that would ultimately get your wicket with that one delivery? The conditions at SCG were challenging but far from unplayable, as the Indian batting suggested. Was this performance driven by fear of being dropped or by directives from those managing the dressing room?

[ad_1] Australia vs India, 5th Test at the SCG (PC: Debasis Sen) Subhayan Chakraborty at SCG Another day, another batting collapse—or rather, a shaky batting performance—as the Indian team seemed to retreat into a shell, handing Australia a slight advantage, on Day 1 of the first innings of the Pink Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The visitors were bowled out for just 185 runs. This has been the recurring narrative for the Indian team since the start of the 2024-25 season, whether against Bangladesh, New Zealand at home, or now in Australia. The lack of runs has turned into a daily saga, with dismissals following a predictable pattern. On Day 1 of the New Year’s Test, after going down 1-2 in the series, despite the opening win, the Indian team appeared bogged down. Reports during the last few days have suggested unrest in the dressing room under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir. Even regular captain Rohit Sharma was dropped for the fifth and final Test due to an underwhelming batting performance. Jasprit Bumrah at the toss emphasised on “unity in the dressing room,” noting that Rohit had decided to “rest himself.” Has the criticism from newspapers and social media penetrated the Indian dressing room, which has claimed for years not to be bothered by ‘outside noise’? It certainly seemed so. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul found themselves in two minds during their dismissals. Jaiswal misjudged the seam movement from Boland, while Rahul casually flicked a delivery straight to Sam Konstas. Shubman Gill, who replaced Rohit in the lineup, edged one just before Lunch, and Virat Kohli yet again poked at a delivery outside the off-stump, gifting his wicket to Boland. Rishabh Pant adopted an ultra-defensive approach, contrary to his natural game, while Ravindra Jadeja managed a strike rate of just 27. Nitish Kumar Reddy was caught in the slips like Kohli, and Washington Sundar was given out for 14. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Scott Boland at the SCG (PC: Debasis Sen) “In this innings, I wasn’t in a frame of mind where I wanted to take charge of the game because the wicket was doing too much and the kind of situation we were in, I felt I could play a little bit of defensive cricket,” Rishabh Pant told reporters after the end of Day 1 in Sydney. “Yes, there is time to attack but you have to feel it from inside. I can’t just premeditate that I am going to play this way. Whatever the game asks me to do on that given day, I try to do that. That was the mindset. “It is not very difficult (to curb attacking instincts). Initial part would be difficult, but sometimes you have to play more sensible cricket. There might be 50-50 chances in today’s innings which I could have taken, but sometimes you have to play more secure cricket especially the way the wicket was behaving, knowing that if we lose another wicket then we might lose two or three more in quick succession. That was the idea behind how I was playing today. Pretty fine with the way I am playing,” he added. India chose to bat first on an overcast day. Whether the decision to bat was correct or not can be deliberated upon, with Australia, too, wanting to have a bat in case they won the toss. The pitch was not unplayable but offered more than enough assistance to the pacers, who capitalised on it. At Tea, with India still in the game at 107/4, Boland had induced 40.2% false shots from the Indian batters. Cummins was at 25.8%, Starc at 19.1%, Nathan Lyon at 8.2%, and debutant Beau Webster, bowling in the 120s, at 22.4%. Before the Sydney Test, in his first press conference of the tour, head coach Gautam Gambhir admitted to having “honest” conversations in the dressing room following the Melbourne defeat. This came after reports that Gambhir had sharply criticised certain players, stating “Bohut ho gaya” (enough is enough). “I don’t think I need to answer any reports. There were some honest words. That’s all I can say,” Gambhir stated. “Honesty is extremely important if you want to achieve great things,” he added on Thursday.

Yashasvi Jaiswal at the SCG (PC: Debasis Sen) Gambhir lashed out at the team after the Melbourne loss, where Australia secured a 2-1 lead with a 184-run victory. Post-match, he had one-on-one discussions with a couple of players. The batters, instructed to ‘play according to the situation’ rather than their natural style, seemed to retreat into a shell. While Jaiswal and Rahul tried to leave deliveries to counter the new ball, Gill lost his wicket right before lunch. This was the sixth instance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy where Kohli edged a delivery in the channel. This series has been a rollercoaster for India. After the high of Perth, the team’s confidence seemed to wane. Test legend Ravichandran Ashwin retired mid-series after being dropped in Brisbane. The lineup has seen constant changes since the first Test; Sundar was dropped after Perth, Ashwin after Adelaide, and Gill after Brisbane. KL Rahul’s batting position has been shuffled, and Harshit Rana has not featured in the XI since his impressive debut in Perth followed by a lacklustre performance in Adelaide. On Day 1 in Sydney, the Indian batters appeared to lack security and seemed fearful of further criticism or being dropped from the side, leading to a defensive ‘blockathon’ that stifled the run-rate. Jaiswal’s strike rate was 38.46, Rahul’s 28.57, Gill’s 31.25, Kohli’s 24.64, Pant’s 40.82, Jadeja’s 27.37, and Sundar’s 46.67. Indian players, used to being stars, are not accustomed to such stern critiques, especially post-loss. Did that affect their batting? While Indian batters are allowed to play defensively, to retreat into a shell, and to block or leave deliveries, was this approach necessary on a pitch, against a pace attack, that would ultimately get your wicket with that one delivery? The conditions at SCG were challenging but far from unplayable, as the Indian batting suggested. Was this performance driven by fear of being dropped or by directives from those managing the dressing room?

Worries Still Regard Shreyas Iyer’s Short Ball Issues

Shreyas Iyer might find it challenging to completely alter his approach at the age of over thirty, given his established muscle memory.

Shreyas Iyer arrived for an optional training session and immediately strolled outside the Newlands Stadium for throwdowns, just before the start of the second Test in Cape Town. Along with batting instructor Vikram Rathour, the two throwdown gurus Nuwan Senaviratne, a southpaw side-armer, and Raghavendra were putting on a show from eighteen yards away.

The intention was to prepare the showy Mumbaikar for short balls, which have plagued him in all forms of cricket since his debut. A few minutes into the workout, he launched one mean, short throwdown from eighteen yards into the body, which kicked up from length. The reduced distance traveled meant that there were more than 150 clicks.

The patch of flesh between his upper and lower abdomen was struck by the bat because it did not descend quickly enough.

He was groaning in pain and flung his bat. He remained in a squat, struggling to breathe, until the physiotherapist and other staff members arrived to see how he was doing.

The problem was not only technical but also psychological because Iyer didn’t appear at all at ease, but the Kolkata Knight Riders captain had no rivals because there wasn’t a good middle order reserve hitter in the lineup.

After six knockout games in SENA countries so far, his scores were as follows: 15 and 19 in Birmingham, 31 and 6 in Centurion, and 0 and 4 not out in Cape Town. It is currently less than 40 on his test average, down from around 50.

Iyer can undoubtedly be considered a master against spinners, and he should have no trouble confronting Chris Woakes or James Anderson to deliveries that are below knee roll.

However, when December 2024–25 rolls around on Australian tracks, Iyer’s problems will undoubtedly get worse if he doesn’t make a drastic technical shift in his game with appropriate head balance and perhaps a cheekier stance.

However, he is almost thirty years old and has developed muscle memory, so it might be challenging to turn his game around.

When a bouncer was bowled at Mohinder Amarnath’s right shoulder in the 1982–1983 season, he would take it on the body and hook it imperiously with his left shoulder. This was part of his slightly chest-on stance.

Iyer will have to blaze his own trail, but that’s easier said than done.

Iyer is a player whose main method of play is with his hands; his footwork is not very noticeable. He therefore consistently plays from the back foot, even on deliveries where he should be on the front foot, on bouncey tracks because he is mentally prepared for a short ball.

His feet are freezing because he believes he will only ever be given small balls to eat.

“My role is to instill trust in them. Regarding Iyer, Shubman Gill, and Yashasvi Jaiswal—three of the greatest batsmen in Indian history—who found it difficult to deal with bounce, skipper Rohit Sharma remarked, “KL, Rohit, and Kohli, we have all learned from travelling.”

“They’ll discover what to do and don’t do. The situation is not the same in India. India is a very difficult country as well. In India, we have also witnessed similar wickets. Moving forward, it will also be difficult.

These kinds of situations are what you need to learn from. You gain confidence when you perform well in these circumstances, Rohit remarked.

Still, there are many who disagree. Former Indian batter Sanjay Manjrekar stated in a conversation with ESPNcricinfo that he is “not so sure” about Iyer but believes Gill and Jaiswal will find out by the time the Australia tour arrives.

Iyer recently took exception at being questioned about his problems with short ball.

“What do you mean?” He had retorted that he believed it to be a fabricated perception.

Now that he’s in denial mode, Iyer could only be able to change his direction once he acknowledges that he has technical problems when playing short ball.

India vs Australia, 2nd T20I: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad And Ishan Kishan Achieve Rare Feat For India

Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India continued it's fiery form and registered a thumping 44-run victory over Australia in the second T20I on Sunday. Asked to bat first, India posted a whopping total of 235/4 in 20 overs with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Ishan Kishan scoring stunning half-centuries. Later, the hosts restricted Australia to 191/9 with Prasidh Krishna and Ravi Bishnoi taking three wickets each. Apart from this magnificent win, Team India has also registered a rare feat in the shortest format.

It was for the first time that India's top three batters scored 50 plus runs in a T20I match. It was only the fifth time in the history of the shortest format that such an achievement was registered.

Talking about the match, opener Jaiswal led the charge of India's young brigade with a sparkling 53 off 25 balls, guiding India to a massive 235 for four in the company of Ishan (52 off 32 balls) and Gaikwad (58 off 43 balls).

Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi (3/32) then muffled the Australian top-order with two quick blows, and the visitors were eventually limited to 191 for nine despite aggressive knocks by Tim David (37 off 22 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (45 off 25 balls).

Pacer Prasidh Krishna grabbed three wickets to accentuate Australia's fall as they lost five wickets for 16 runs.

Both the teams will now meet again on Tuesday for the third T20I match of the five-match series in Guwahati.
