#icc champions trophy 2017

Okay. I’m going to go there. Here are my thoughts on this travesty of a match. But first:

Here are the Indian national cricket team’s international stats

World Test Championship

2021 - Runners Up

2023 - Runners Up

ODI World Cup

2015 - Semi-Finalists

2019 - Semi-Finalists

2017 - Runners Up

Now, I understand the points made about Choice of Pitch and Crowd Support. I do believe the outcome would’ve been different if we’d played anywhere except Ahmedabad. And as hosts, we’ve got to give our players every advantage, including a pitch that tilts in their favour.* BUT what about all the tournaments we didn’t host? We’ve consistently made the semis and finals of almost every single major international trophy in the past decade. We’re practically giants. We don’t need a pitch advantage to win a match - we’ve demonstrated that we can get the job done and we can do it anywhere, any pitch, any country. So why can’t we win when it matters most?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: cricket is just as much as a mental game as any other sport. We need to take note of this pattern and do something to address it. I’m not saying a sports psychologist will solve all our problems but it’s certainly a start. The minute Travis Head began to hit a few boundaries, shoulders began to droop. There were times when the fielding was so lax it felt like they couldn’t be bothered to do it faster because “eh, it’s just a single run.” Australia was on fire today. Not a single mistake, not a single toe out of line. They were in the zone, serious from the get go - and they got the job done. I have never seen that kind of coordination and perfection from our Indian team. We’re always wobbly in places, and then are stabilised and carried through by the stellar performance of a few players (who vary from match to match). We can talk about Batting Depth and Hardik’s absence from the team etc etc but the fact of the matter is we are capable enough to win on any pitch, in any conditions, as we’ve shown before, time and time again. But not if it’s a final. And I just think that’s a problem worth addressing with a solution that goes beyond “shiny new pitch, better gyms, and new talent.” 

*I know it's technically ICC who prepares pitches but iykyk

2017 ICC CHAMPIONS TROPHY FINAL

18th June, 2017

[news365timesindia]

[ad_1] South Africa players are ecstatic after defeating Australia (PC: ICC) Bharath Ramaraj in Dubai It was the semifinal of the 2017 50-over World Cup between England and South Africa in Bristol. South Africa needed a good start in conditions where the ball was doing just enough off the seam. Lizelle Lee, one of the openers, didn’t survive long. Just when it seemed like the South African batters would be tied down, Laura Wolvaardt, all of 18, unfurled a cracking cut shot. The sound of the willow meeting the leather was a crisp one and it gave an indicator that it came right off the middle. The kind of stroke that is generally a hallmark of a batter with pedigree. Seven years later, she hasn’t just fulfilled her potential as a batter but is also on the verge of leading her country to World Cup glory. In the World Cup semi-final, under her leadership, South Africa defeated Australia, six-time T20 champions. The same side, who crushed South Africa’s dreams of winning the T20 World Cup trophy on home soil last year.  The essence of that victory was South Africa’s authoritative performance. Just a glance at the ring fielders was enough to tell something about South Africa’s intent in the field. It was also an indicator that the captain and coaching staff played their parts in motivating the side. Chloe Tryon, the South African skipper, believes Wolvaardt took a bit of time to adjust to her new role. “I think when she [Wolvaardt] first came in, she probably was a little bit nervous,” she said in the press conference on the eve of the final. “She’s a lot calmer now and I think she’s more clear on how she wants to do things. And she’s got backing from senior players, which is really good.” Wolvaardt is also topping the batting charts in the tournament, having notched up 190 runs at a strike-rate of just over 111. As one of the form players, she could have taken a day off, but on the eve of the summit clash, she was having a long net, facing throwdowns. Wolvaardt has the required qualities to lead from the front with the bat and as the leader. An entire country would also believe so. For South Africa to taste success, they have to get past New Zealand, who have an equally capable leader in Sophie Devine. With the willow in hand, she is the alpha female. After all, she has the fastest and joint-third-fastest fifties in T20Is. In the ongoing World Cup, too, she has provided enough evidence of her stroke-play. In the crucial encounter against India, Devine didn’t just showcase some of her power-hitting, but she also put on an exhibition of quick-silver footwork to negate the threat of the spinners. New Zealand after defeating West Indies (PC: ICC) What about her leadership skills? In contrast to her aggressive batting, she is placid and calm while handling press conferences. Suzie Bates, a senior member of the New Zealand team, had this to say about the all-rounder: “I think she’s been absolutely brilliant in her captaincy. Just so calm. I think the decisions she’s made in these conditions have been brilliant. So, it’s unfortunate that she’s stepping aside, but thankfully it’s just as captain.” Just to illustrate that point further, Devine didn’t show her emotions when New Zealand dropped sitters in the semi-final against West Indies. The experience of having gone through so many ups and downs after playing close to two decades would have helped her to gain a better perspective of the vagaries of the game. “We’re the grandmas of the team,” Bates said, referring to herself, Devine and pace bowler Lea Tahuhu. “We’re still standing, I think. Leah with her bionic knee, Sophie just having dealt with a lot of stuff as captain over the last few years and me just keeping on going and going.” Remember, both Devine and Bates were part of the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2009. New Zealand lost in the final in that tournament. The very next year, Australia gave them some heartache, winning the summit clash by a mere three runs. After 14 long years, at

the fag end of their respective careers, the duo have got another chance to script their own story of redemption.  Both sides are desperate to win the coveted trophy. Unfortunately, there can be only one fairytale. Which will it be?

When Bangladesh reached the quarterfinals of the ODI World Cup in 2015, it was considered a landmark moment in the country’s cricketing history. As the expectations soared, the cricket fraternity predicted that things would only change for the better after that. While it finished as the semifinalist in the Champions Trophy in 2017, its track record in the ICC events went downhill over the last…

Pakistan Likely To Lose Hosting Rights Of Champions Trophy 2025, Tournament Could Be Held In Hybrid Model, Say Reports

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to receive another blow from International Cricket Council (ICC) as they might lose the complete hosting rights of the Champions Trophy 2025. As per reports, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is not interested in changing their stance in the next two years over not touring Pakistan to play cricket. Indian men's cricket team did not travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023 as well due to security concerns.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah had made it clear that untill government gives clearance, the Indian team will not travel across the border. That decision had irked the then PCB boss Ramiz Raja, who had said that if India were not going to come to Pakistan for Champions Trophy, he would also not send the Men in Green to India for World Cup. But nothing of this sort happened. The Asia Cup 2023 was held in a hybrid model, with four games played in Pakistan and 9 in Sri Lanka. And Pakistan travelled to India for the World Cup.

PCB is fearing that there could be a repeat of the same ahead of the Champions Trophy. A report in WION states that if India refuses to travel to Pakistan again, the tournament will be held in UAE. Or there could be a use of a hybrid model with some games hosted by Pakistan and others by UAE. In this scenario, India will not play any match in Pakistan.

According to news agency PTI, PCB boss Zaka Ashraf and COO Salman Naseer met the ICC executive board on their trip to Ahmedabad for the meeting and talked about the uncertainty of India touring Pakistan for CT 2025.

“Pakistani officials discussed the probability of the Indian board (BCCI) again refusing to send its team to Pakistan and made it clear that in any given situation, the ICC must avoid taking unilateral decisions on the tournament,” a source told PTI.

The source also said that PCB should be compensated properly if BCCI refuses to travel to Pakistan. PCB told the ICC board that many teams have toured the country in the last two years, including Australia, England and New Zealand. And there were no security concerns whatsoever during these tours. "They also made it clear that in case of India not sending its team and its matches being moved to another country, then the ICC must compensate Pakistan for this," the source added.

Champions Trophy is making a return to ICC roster after 8 years. Pakitan won the last ICC Men's Champions Trophy in 2017. The tournament includes the best 8 teams in the world. The best team 8 includes the hosts and the top 7 teams from the ODI World Cup 2023.

Virat kholi

Virat Kohli : (born 5 November 1988) is an Indian international cricketer and former captain of the Indian national team who plays as a right-handed batsman for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL and for Delhi in Indian domestic cricket. Widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of all time,[3] Kohli holds the record for scoring most runs in both T20 internationals and in IPL. In 2020, the International Cricket Council named him as the male cricketer of the decade. Kohli has also contributed to India's successes, including winning the 2011 World Cup and the 2013 Champions trophy.

Born and raised in New Delhi, Kohli trained in West Delhi Cricket Academy; started his youth career with Delhi Under-15 team. Kohli made his international debut in 2008 and quickly became a key player in the ODI team. He made his Test debut in 2011. In 2013, Kohli reached the number one spot in the ICC rankings for ODI batsmen for the first time. During 2014 T20 World Cup, he set a record for the most runs scored in the tournament. In 2018, he achieved yet another milestone, becoming the world's top-ranked Test batsman, making him the only Indian cricketer to hold the number one spot in all three formats of the game. His form continued in 2019, where he became the first player to score 20,000 international runs in single decade. In 2021, Kohli made the decision to step down as the captain of the Indian national team for T20Is, following the T20 World Cup and in early 2022 he stepped down as the captain of the Test team as well.

Kohli has received many accolades for his performances on the cricket field. He was recognized as the ICC ODI Player of the Year in 2012 and has won Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy, given to the ICC Cricketer of the Year, on two occasions, in 2017 and 2018. Kohli also won ICC Test Player of the Year and ICC ODI Player of the Year awards in 2018, becoming the first player to win both awards in the same year. Additionally, Kohli was named the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World for three consecutive years, from 2016 to 2018. At the national level, Kohli was honoured with the Arjuna Award in 2013, the Padma Shri under the sports category in 2017 and the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award, India's highest sporting honour, in 2018.

In 2016, he was ranked as one of the world's most famous athletes by ESPN and one of the most valuable athlete brands by Forbes. In 2018, Time magazine included him on its list of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2020, he was ranked 66th in Forbes list of the top 100 highest-paid athletes in the world for the year 2020 with estimated earnings of over $26 million. Kohli has been deemed one of the most commercially viable cricketers, with estimated earnings of ₹165 crore (US$21 million) in the year 2022.

Early life

Virat Kohli was born on 5 November 1988 in Delhi to a Punjabi Hindu family. His father, Prem Kohli, worked as a criminal lawyer and his mother, Saroj Kohli, served as a housewife. He has an older brother, Vikas, and an older sister, Bhawna. Kohli's formative years were spent in the Uttam Nagar and commenced his early education at Vishal Bharti Public School. According to his family, Kohli exhibited an early affinity for cricket as a mere three-year-old. He would pick up a cricket bat, display natural skill, and request his father to bowl to him.

In 1998, the West Delhi Cricket Academy (WCDA) was created and on 30 May of that year, Prem Kohli, espoused his younger son's fervor for cricket, assisted nine-year-old Kohli's aspirations and arranged for him to meet Rajkumar Sharma, who initially perceived him to be just another enthusiastic and determined young boy. However, two weeks later, Sharma was impressed by Kohli's accuracy and power in throwing. Upon the suggestion of their neighbours, Kohli's father considered enrolling his son in a professional cricket academy, as they believed that his cricketing abilities merited more than just playing in the gully cricket. Despite his abilities, he faced the setback of being unable to secure a place in the under-14 Delhi team, not due to a lack of merit but due to extraneous factors. Prem Kohli received offers to relocate his son to influential clubs, which would have ensured his selection, but he declined the proposals, as he was determined that Kohli should earn his recognition based on his own merit and overcome the system of nepotism and deceit prevalent in the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA). Kohli persisted and eventually found his way into the under-15 Delhi team. He received training at the academy while simultaneously participating in matches at the Sumeet Dogra Academy located at Vasundhara Enclave. As per Sharma's recollection of Kohli's initial days at his academy, he exuded remarkable talent, making it arduous for the coach to curb his enthusiasm. Kohli remained prepared to bat at any position, and often, Sharma had to physically coerce him to leave the training sessions, as he was reluctant to depart. In pursuit of furthering his cricketing career, he transitioned to Saviour Convent School during his ninth-grade education. Kohli's ardent passion for cricket compelled him to travel long distances with his father to ensure that he never missed a match. With time, he diligently honed his skills and diversified his range of shots, commanding respect from the local bowlers.

On the 19th of December 2006, Kohli experienced the loss of his father due to a cerebral attack. During his childhood, his father played a crucial role in supporting his cricket training. Kohli has credited his father as the one who drove him to practice every day. He has expressed his feelings of missing his father's presence at times. Following the demise of Kohli's father, his mother observed a significant change in his personality. Kohli appeared to become more mature overnight, and he began taking every cricket match seriously. He harbored an aversion to exclusion from games and appeared to channel his entire existence into the pursuit of cricket following his father's untimely demise. It was as if Kohli was pursuing not just his own aspirations but also those of his late father. Kohli's family resided in Meera Bagh, Paschim Vihar until the year 2015, after which they relocated to Gurgaon.
