[ad_1] Virat Kohli in the practice session. File Photo -Shamik Chakrabarty in Cuttack Virat Kohli is set to return for the second ODI of the ongoing series against England if things go to plan, RevSportz understands. The former India captain had to sit out of the first ODI due to a swollen knee. According to sources, however, the injury wasn’t serious and he has travelled with the team to Cuttack. So, unless there’s another eleventh-hour issue, Kohli would be part of India’s playing XI in the second match. India will train on the match eve from 5 pm on Saturday. The session is expected to give a clearer picture on Kohli’s availability. Kohli has an impeccable fitness record. The last time he had missed an international fixture before the Nagpur game was in 2022, when back spasms kept him out of a Test against South Africa. Even at 36 years of age, he remains one of the fittest cricketers in this Indian team. Kohli, one of the best-ever ODI batsmen, if not the best-ever, is just 94 runs shy of reaching the milestone of 14,000 runs in 50-over internationals. He hasn’t been scoring runs in Tests of late. A tally of 190 runs from nine innings in Australia was pretty underwhelming. But it wasn’t a case in isolation. Kohli has been performing below par by his lofty standards in red-ball cricket for a while now. But he is a different kettle of fish in ODIs. Kohli was the highest run-getter at the 2023 World Cup, with 765 runs from 11 innings at an average of 95.62. After that, he played only three more matches in this format, in Sri Lanka last year and he wasn’t successful there – 58 runs from three innings at an average of 19.33. India’s best batsman needs to be in fine fettle ahead of the Champions Trophy. If Kohli returns to the playing XI, Yashasvi Jaiswal might have to make way. The left-hander opened with Rohit Sharma in the first ODI but got out for 15. The youngster actually was a tad unlucky to get arguably the ball of the match from Jofra Archer on his ODI debut. Then, Shreyas Iyer came and played a blinder – a sublime 36-ball 59 that swung the momentum in India’s favour. Interestingly, as Shreyas revealed post-match, he wasn’t part of the team management’s playing XI plan and came in only because Kohli was injured. Shreyas Iyer in the first ODI vs England (PC: BCCI/X),  “So, funny story,” Shreyas told the host broadcasters. “I was watching a movie last night and thought I could extend my night, but then I got a call from the skipper saying that you might play because Virat has a swollen knee. I quickly rushed back to my room and went straight to sleep. I wasn’t supposed to play, but Virat got injured, and I got my chance.” That one of the best ODI batsmen in the world wasn’t “supposed to play” could be down to India head coach Gautam Gambhir’s apparent obsession for having left-right combinations in the middle overs. But after Shreyas’ exploits with the bat in Nagpur, dropping him in Cuttack would border on the preposterous. Coming to Rohit, Nagpur was another failure for the skipper, who is gradually putting himself in an invidious position. From a distance, from the press box balcony, the Barabati pitch looked a belter a day before the match and this might be Rohit’s best opportunity to get back to form. Another failure will take him to the precipice. Massive craze Cuttack is hosting an ODI for the first time since 2019 and the craze here is massive. Barabati Stadium can accommodate around 45,000 spectators but out of that 30,000 tickets have been reserved as complimentary passes. Some physical tickets were sold a few days ago, creating a stampede-like situation at the stadium. Police reportedly had to use water cannons to disperse the crowd. Ticket prices range from Rs 800 to Rs 20,000 (corporate box), and it’s already a sell-out. Back in 2019, Kohli had scored 85 and walked away with the Player-of-the-Match award. Rohit had made 63. Can the big boys of Indian cricket turn back the clock? Cuttack waits eagerly. Also Read: Revitalised Shreyas Iyer could be key to India’s Champions Trophy chances

Will Virat Kohli Play 2nd ODI vs England In Cuttack? Shubman Gill Gives Major Update On Ex-India Skipper's Injury | Cricket News

Virat Kohli missed the first ODI between India and England at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur due to a knee injury. Kohli was replaced in India’s XI by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who made his ODI debut along with bowling-allrounder Harshit Rana.  India captain Rohit Sharma said at the toss that Kohli had injured his right knee on Wednesday night.

knowing his brother gave up a chance for him (let’s make him beta - adds some spice) and he will not let this opportunity be wasted. No matter the personal cost, he will be an Indian cricket player.

Yesss, I love the idea of Yashasvi's older brother being a beta. everyone is so surprised because if both the beta son and omega son want to play cricket, it's natural to prioritise the beta's career, because he has a better chance of making it big. no matter how talented the omega one is, there's no way his orientation will allow him to succeed. maybe that's what his parents are planning to do too, promote his brother's career, and yash will just be married off when he grows up. it's his brother who supports him, and sacrifices his career for his sake because, "yash is a much better player than me. give him a chance, he'll play for india one day and be ten times bigger than what i can manage to be."

so yash goes to mumbai, poor little boy alone in a new city 🥺 irl, his dad didn't even stop him from going to mumbai, because "there were enough mouths to feed at home." if yash wants to be responsible for himself, his dad wasn't complaining. which.. just breaks my heart honestly.

yash found work at a dairy, delivering milk to houses, and churning out butter and curd and stuff like that, I assume? he slept in the shop itself, but was eventually kicked out of his job because his cricketing commitments didn't allow him to give as much time to his job as his employer would've liked. you think yashasvi is treated well at his job or not?

also, how do you think he gets into domestic youth cricket? because at this point, he has no contacts in mumbai either. the thing about domestic cricket is, you need a mixture of money and talent to make it big. if you have enough money and know whose pockets to line, you can get a place on a youth team. that doesn't mean you'll keep your place if you aren't performing though. it's just a situation where you'll need to perform very very well to break into a team without paying someone off, but only paying someone won't guarantee a permanent spot on any team. once you get the spot, you have to prove it belongs to you through consistent performance.

so even a poor alpha would need to work harder and shine brighter than anyone else to get into a team without paying someone. a poor omega... yash doesn't have money to pay anyone off to begin with, to top it all off, he's omega. i don't think he's getting onto a team without having to trade sexual favours to someone in exchange 🥴😓

irl, yashasvi's life improved significantly when he met jwala singh, when he was around 14. jwala singh, who ran a cricket academy in santacruz, spotted jaiswal's potential and adopted him. he raised yashasvi for the next decade and treated him as his own son. he gave him food, money, shelter, as well as proper cricketing guidance, essentially becoming a coach and mentor to yashasvi. jwala says that he got yashasvi admitted into a school too, but yash often made excuses to stay at home and practice cricket. 😅

you think yashasvi meets jwala singh in omegaverse or not? a lot of yash's later youth career was possible due to his mentor's kindness, and tbh i can't see young omega yash making it all on his own in mumbai. or are we going to have him not meet his coach and thus suffer more in omegaverse? 😅🫣

also, how bad do you think things get for young yash in mumbai? in my mind, yashasvi is definitely deeply mistrustful of alphas by the time he plays internationals (2023 june is his test debut i think), so something dark enough to make him fear and distrust alphas, but nothing too dark to leave him permanently traumatized? am i making sense? 😅

how do yashasvi and shubman meet and interact here, according to you? and how does shubman set about melting yashasvi?

I think that’s how it’ll work on a lot of things; yash’s brother has to give up, not be asked to for Yash because absolutely the parents would back the non-omega. I think he absolutely HAS to meet and be mentored by Jwala or there is no way he’s doing it. Yash also knows he’s got to work his arse off because even though VK is carving the way for omegas, he has to prove to domestic teams and the BCCI that he too is of that calibre.

He’ll quickly become a “whatever it takes” mentality.

I think he’ll hit his feuds with alphas in domestic teams. Pending on the year which I’ll have to look up, there will still be an opinion omegas don’t belong and that he should have masked if he wanted to make it. Teammates and coaches will feel they have a right to him, and although that hurts and Yash tells Jwala sadly about it when he’s home, he can’t look weak to them. That’s what they want from him, they want to break him, prove he can’t do it. So he has to be like Virat was - he has to take it in his stride.

He becomes feisty, he becomes very distrusting of alphas not necessarily because they do anything to him, but because he believes an alpha only wants him for one thing and he won’t be stopped by anyone, not now he’s given up so much. As soon as he’s on squad he gravitates towards VK because there he feels safe, he feels VK understands what he’s had to endure. At RR, he can’t get enough of Jos, another omega who’s doing it openly and not relying on an alpha, or didn’t rely on an alpha, to get his start.

Jos is 1000000% going to be so protective of Yash, because he can see in his eyes the horrors he has been through (even if not physically, but he knows how much harder it is for omegas. When he starts to hear Yash’s story he can’t actually believe he made it to international level).

Shub who I could see as a really friendly, open alpha, very understanding (a bit like we’ve seen Ben be so far in HIPS) also wants to stand by Yash, be the protection squad for him, but of course Yash hates that. He doesn’t need protecting and he doesn’t need an alpha of all things. Shub is a bit blindsided when Yash literally barks at him, is cold and almost resentful of his presence. I can see Shub asking VK what’s up because Yash seems so content with his fellow omega, but even a wiff of Shub’s scent and he’s icy.

But eventually, with a little help from VK, Yash will cool to him and see that not all alphas are the same

Abhishek's constant commitment to style while playing Brave

Abhishek Sharma has always had a straightforward approach to his game. The 24-year-old's fearlessness and explosive batting have allowed him to advance quickly in elite cricket. However, there is also a considerable risk associated with his procedures.

After a great spell with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the previous IPL, Abhishek got his India debut in July 2024. In just his second encounter, he scored a scorching century against Zimbabwe to signal his emergence as an international player. Although he received a lot of praise for his flashy batting, he also had a slow spell following the ton, scoring a maximum of just 16 in his next seven innings.

It was going to be difficult to keep India out of the running for very long because they had so many contenders for the opening position, including Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Abhishek could have had to choose between modifying his style and sticking to his natural game because Sanju Samson was also taking use of his opportunities at the opposite end.

He decided on the latter. The left-hander's brilliant innings in the T20I opener against England at Eden Gardens further strengthened the team management's faith in him after he demonstrated his loyalty to his style with a 25-ball 50 and an 18-ball 36 against South Africa in the previous two T20Is.

India got off to a fast start as Samson took on Gus Atkinson to score 22 in an over after Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, and Axar Patel combined to limit England to a respectable 132. Only in the third over did Abhishek face his first ball, and he danced down the track to Jofra Archer right away. He signaled his intentions even if he was unable to make his shot. After that, he hit a four and a six in the same over, but Archer quickly removed Samson and Suryakumar Yadav, putting India in a precarious position.

India was 41/2 at the time, and the risk/reward ratio may have favored forming a partnership and leading the group to success. However, Abhishek was adamant about maintaining his own flair, and the result was pure fun.

He took two consecutive sixes from Mark Wood, who was trying to test Abhishek's pace, with a casual flick and a slash over thirdman. The left-hander then proceeded to capitalize with a four and two sixes off consecutive deliveries after Adil Rashid made a return catch. At the midway point of the chase, India sped to 100 thanks to a six from Jamie Overton that enabled him to reach a 20-ball fifty.

Abhishek hit two more sixes before he holed out at long-off, accounting for 86.07% of his 79 runs in boundaries alone. At that point, India was just eight runs short of the mark and crossed the finish line with 7.1 overs remaining.

India might have been in more serious difficulty if this aggressive batting hadn't been successful on a different day. But there is little reason to doubt the Indian team's improved approach to the shortest format, which blends in perfectly with Abhishek's innate style.

Abhishek attributes his ability to remain loyal to himself to a good support network, which includes Gautam Gambhir and company as well as the coaches at Sunrisers.

"I believe that having coaches and players like that in Hyderabad was a huge blessing for me as a batter. The IPL was the only source of the momentum. I believe that because they allowed us to be free, I always wanted to go and express myself as a child. I worked on that a little bit, and when I entered the IPL, the strategy was pretty straightforward: simply go and express. And just go for it, even if it's the first ball, if it's in your arc.

And I believe that the plan was very straightforward as a result, even for the Indian squad. This kind of conversation, where we have to play according to the situation, or anything similar, has never happened to us. "They always wanted me to just go and express myself, and I think today was one of those times where I just wanted to win the game and thought it was my day," Abhishek says.

And did he have any fear or doubt when he failed? "I've always believed that I want to work well with others because, as you can see, there is competition (for positions) in India for every team, even our senior team. However, I believe it was a significant time for me when captain Surya Paaji or Gautam Paaji would constantly tell me, "The way you play, the way you intend to play...and we're going to back you." The team seems to have a lot of faith in me, therefore I should keep doing that.

AUS vs IND, Border-Gavaskar Trophy India Shakes Off Pink-Ball Loss, Focuses on Brisbane Challenge

After a well-deserved rest on Monday, India’s cricketers returned to training on Tuesday morning, eager to move past their pink-ball loss. The batters worked through long sessions with throwdowns, pace, and spin, preparing for Brisbane. In today’s world of shorter series, a long contest stretching over seven weeks can be exhausting. It’s been years since India played a five-Test series in Australia—back in 1991-92. /
A Look Back at 1991-92 That series marked Sachin Tendulkar’s rise, despite India losing 4-0. His 114 at WACA remains one of his finest innings. The series also featured the twilight of Dilip Vengsarkar, the resilience of Ravi Shastri, and Javagal Srinath’s debut. On the other hand, Shane Warne made his debut but had little impact. Despite their efforts, India couldn’t stop Australia’s dominance. Though that tour was tough, it showed the team’s spirit. Now, India stands on more equal footing. After two Tests in the 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the series is tied at 1-1, indicating a close contest. In recent years, India has made significant progress, particularly during the 2018-19 and 2020-21 triumphs in Australia.
A New Challenge in Brisbane India’s loss at Adelaide Oval could motivate Rohit Sharma’s team to fight back in Brisbane. With the series tied, the third Test is crucial. On Tuesday, India returned to training, which would have been the final day of the second Test if not for their batting collapse. Batters like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, K.L. Rahul, Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Washington Sundar spent time working on their batting against a mix of throwdowns, pace, and spin. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj worked on fitness in the gym, while the other bowlers practiced their craft. The red ball replaced the pink ball, marking a fresh start for the team.
Rohit’s Optimism and Teamwork “We have no scars from the loss,” said Rohit, focusing on Brisbane and the upcoming challenge. The team worked on defensive techniques and added some attacking shots. Jaiswal was aggressive but got stranded while charging at R. Ashwin, causing some light-hearted moments. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli chatted with coach Gautam Gambhir, while Ajit Agarkar (chief selector) and Morne Morkel (bowling coach) shared their thoughts. After a productive session, the players took some time to relax.
The Road Ahead Managing their workload is essential during such a long tour. India has improved since the 1991-92 series. The next few weeks will show how much they’ve grown, and the Brisbane Test will be an important test.

Neither Rohit nor Virat but this player is The Best Indian cricket player

There have been many great players produced in the history of the Indian cricket Team i.e Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Mohammed Shami, Rohit Sharma. In the Modern Era, Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill are one of them. But if we talk about The Best Indian cricket player, There are so many players who can easily become part of that list But according to stats in all departments, no one is better than Sachin Tendulkar.

Sachin Tendulkar played 24 years for his Nation. He made his debut for India in 1989 against Pakistan while he played his last international match in 2013. He scored 34357 International Runs including 100 hundreds across all formats. He is the first player of the planet who hits a double hundred in ODI Cricket. Apart from that he also takes 201 international wickets. He Played six 50 Over World Cup and 4 Champions Trophy. The Man whose fans cover thousands of miles to just watch him. Because of him, Modern Era Great Virat Kohli, World Champion captain MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and many other players started playing cricket. Not only India, world cricket's greatest batsman Kane Williamson also started his cricket career by watching Sachin Tendulkar. Apart from this, there are many players around the world who got inspired by this great player.

Sachin Tendulkar scored 15921 Test Runs including 51 hundreds and 68 fifties. He Scored 18426 Runs including 49 hundreds and 96 fifties. He also played a T20I Match against South Africa where he scored 10 runs and also got a wicket of Justin Kemp. Even His Bowling Figures is also incredible where he got 154 ODI Wickets,46 Test Wickets & a Wicket in T20I. Very Few People know but he was also a Great Fielder. Where he takes 256 international catches.   

He did everything to clinch the World Cup but in the first 5 World Cups he failed. But a phone call from Viv Richards changed his life. If Richards had not suggested that he play one more World Cup, Sachin's dream of winning the World Cup would never have been fulfilled. Apart from international cricket, Sachin also played 861 domestic Matches including List A and First class Where he scored 47395 Runs. He has 141 hundreds and 230 50+ scores in domestic Cricket. He has 272 Domestic Wickets to his name. In 2013, he played his last international match against West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Indian Cricket fans were literally sad for him. All the fans gave thanks to Sachin for his contribution to Indian cricket. After 12 years of his retirement, there are many records which belong to only him.

WATCH: Irfan Pathan, Sanjay Manjrekar involve in a war of words over Yashasvi Jaiswal’s unfortunate run-out

Day 4 of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Australia And India marred by a controversial debut Yashasvi Jaiswal And Virat Kohli. The incident sparked a heated debate between former Indian cricketers. Sanjay Manjrekar And Irfan Pathan In the day-after show on Star Sports, both experts offer contrasting views on the reason for Jaiswal’s escape. Sanjay Manjrekar’s perspective…

[news365timesindia]

[ad_1] Yashasvi Jaiswal. PC – BCCI At the age of 17 years and 292 days, Yashasvi Jaiswal became the youngest double-centurion in List-A cricket. There could be a YouTube video of him nurdling one behind square on the on-side, while playing against Jharkhand, to reach the milestone. As soon as he reached the 200-run mark, Jaiswal jumped in the air, took off his helmet and celebrated the landmark with his arms aloft. Over the years, it has turned into a quintessential Jaiswal celebration. But there was more to that innings than just him savouring the memorable moment. In an innings where his senior teammates – Siddhesh Lad and Aditya Tare – couldn’t convert starts into scores of substance, Jaiswal showed the required temperament to accumulate a double. Jaiswal has continued to shine brightly in the higher echelons of cricket. Be it aggregating a hundred in the IPL, at the age of 21 years and 123 days, accruing five hundreds in a single first-class season, or notching up four Test centuries at just 23, the hallmark of Jaiswal’s batting has been his voracious appetite for runs. In this context, it is astonishing to observe that Jaiswal is yet to make his ODI debut. Alongside having that sheer hunger for tall scores, Jaiswal is also a left-hand batter. In a top six largely comprising right-hand batters, Jaiswal could help to bring that little bit of variety.  So, the question that flashes in the mind is whether the selectors would pick Jaiswal in the squad for the forthcoming Champions Trophy. The answer could be influenced by the fact that India have the prolific Shubman Gill, batting alongside Rohit Sharma at the top of the order. Gill already has a double-hundred in ODIs, and averages a whopping 58.20. Granted that he has had his issues in the longest format, but the 50-over version perhaps suits his game the most.  Unlike the T20 format, Gill can take a bit of time to get his eye in, and then change gears according to different situations in the game. The white Kookaburra ball doesn’t move a great deal upfront, and the wickets are generally batting-friendly as well. Although Gill wasn’t at his very best in the 2023 50-over World Cup, he still aggregated 354 runs in that tournament. In last year’s 50-over series in Sri Lanka, Gill did underperform, compiling only 57 runs at an average of 19. However, it would be unfair to leave him out on the basis of one below-par series.  Logic says Gill deserves to book a place in the Champions Trophy squad. But there could still be a small window for Jaiswal to make an entry into the ODI set-up, especially given the pressing need for a left-hand batter in the top order.   The post The Jaiswal-shaped jigsaw in India’s likely Champions Trophy squad appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

Over the years, it has turned into a quintessential Jaiswal celebration. But there was more to that innings than just him savouring the memorable moment. In an innings where his senior teammates – Siddhesh Lad and Aditya Tare – couldn’t convert starts into scores of substance, Jaiswal showed the required temperament to accumulate a double. Jaiswal has continued to shine brightly in the higher echelons of cricket. Be it aggregating a hundred in the IPL, at the age of 21 years and 123 days, accruing five hundreds in a single first-class season, or notching up four Test centuries at just 23, the hallmark of Jaiswal’s batting has been his voracious appetite for runs. In this context, it is astonishing to observe that Jaiswal is yet to make his ODI debut. Alongside having that sheer hunger for tall scores, Jaiswal is also a left-hand batter. In a top six largely comprising right-hand batters, Jaiswal could help to bring that little bit of variety.  So, the question that flashes in the mind is whether the selectors would pick Jaiswal in the squad for the forthcoming Champions Trophy. The answer could be influenced by the fact that India have the prolific Shubman Gill, batting alongside Rohit Sharma at the top of the order. Gill already has a double-hundred in ODIs, and averages a whopping 58.20. Granted that he has had his issues in the longest format, but the 50-over version perhaps suits his game the most.  Unlike the T20 format, Gill can take a bit of time to get his eye in, and then change gears according to different situations in the game. The white Kookaburra ball doesn’t move a great deal upfront, and the wickets are generally batting-friendly as well. Although Gill wasn’t at his very best in the 2023 50-over World Cup, he still aggregated 354 runs in that tournament. In last year’s 50-over series in Sri Lanka, Gill did underperform, compiling only 57 runs at an average of 19. However, it would be unfair to leave him out on the basis of one below-par series.  Logic says Gill deserves to book a place in the Champions Trophy squad. But there could still be a small window for Jaiswal to make an entry into the ODI set-up, especially given the pressing need for a left-hand batter in the top order.   The post The Jaiswal-shaped jigsaw in India’s likely Champions Trophy squad appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.
