[ad_1] Harshit Rana. Photo: Debasis Sen Harshit Rana was the toast of Indian cricket after Perth. His aggression, his hit-the-deck bowling, his first-innings ball to get Travis Head – the left-field selection was considered a masterstroke. Now, less than a fortnight on and after one bad performance, Rana is in the doghouse. Apparently, he is a “quota” selection based on Gautam Gambhir’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) connection. This is where Indian cricket fans need to show maturity. Neither was Rana the greatest newbie after Perth, nor is he rubbish after Adelaide. The truth is that he has had one bad innings. Head, the local hero, went after him and Rana lost the plot. But then, how many times has he bowled with the pink ball? On how many occasions has he toured Australia? How is it that he can’t fail when he has had little or no experience of bowling under lights with the pink ball? Now, the sudden clamour is for Akash Deep to play. It is as if the inclusion of Akash will solve every problem. And if he fails, he too will soon be considered fit for the trash can. Patience. That’s what is lacking in Indian cricket fandom, and the Rana case is a glaring example. A young man who has just cut his teeth in international cricket and had a very good debut underperformed in just one innings, and is being shellacked as a result. I mean, come on! All of a sudden, Akash is the new messiah. If he fails, there will be a clarion call for Mohammed Shami. The fact of the matter is that India had a bad game in Adelaide. Both with the bat and the ball. The batters were poor in both innings and the bowlers weren’t able to deliver under lights with the ball. The comparison with the New Zealand series isn’t relevant, because those were very different conditions and the pitches were poor. Harshit Rana has been impressive this Duleep Trophy. Source (X) Moving on to Brisbane, India will need at least two of the batters to put their hands up. If Shubman Gill gets in, he needs to convert. Make a 100. If Rishabh Pant gets a start, don’t give it away for just 28. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and, of course, skipper Rohit Sharma –  the onus has to be taken by the batters to give the bowlers something to bowl at. Give them 300, and they are good enough to do the job. Coming back to Rana, and I’d still go with him in Brisbane. The conditions at the Gabba will suit him, and there need not be any knee-jerk reaction. A quiet word with him, and if he sees where he erred, he will come out of this a better bowler. Even the great Sir Curtly Ambrose was restricted to seven wickets in six innings in his debut series. Every fast bowler will take a little time to adjust, and Rana is no different. He had impact in Perth, and he will again in Brisbane. May be this is where Gambhir, Morne Morkel and Rohit should speak to him. Back him and give him the confidence. Ask him like Bharat Arun used to of his bowlers what he wanted to do and if he thought the execution was wrong. He will get the answer as to what he needs to do next. If anything, Rana will be a better cricketer post-Adelaide, and for India to do well in Brisbane, it wouldn’t be a wrong call to give him one more opportunity.

"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.

Yashasvi Has Class, Sarfaraz Needs To Be Consistent, Players On Border Line Will Have To Fight For Their Place: Madan Lal

Sarfaraz Khan: Former India all-rounder and 1983 World Cup-winning hero Madan Lal lavished praise on young batters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan following their match-winning performances in the third Test against England in Rajkot. Yashasvi scored a phenomenal unbeaten double-century, the second of his Test career, while Sarfaraz made fifties in first and second innings in his debut match which India won comfortably. Speaking exclusively to IANS, Madan Lal said, "This young generation is quite good, they have a lot of experience playing first class cricket, IPL cricket, they are not scared of hitting the ball. If you look at their batting style, they are much more positive. "The way they play the shots, shows that they have a lot of confidence and that can only come when you play a lot of cricket. That’s the reason they are champions. The next generation is getting ready for India. He further said that "Yashasvi has the class following his consistent performance and Sarfaraz needs to keep performing in the same manner as his journey has just begun". Asked if it will be tough to manage the squad for the selectors when KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer will be back? The former all-rounder said, "I think, it’s a good sign, like you talk about KL, Virat and Shreyas, they have done a lot better. And these new kids have just started. "So, preference will be given to the established players. They have won a lot of games for the country, inside or outside. It’s a good thing we have a good pool of talent, and those who are on the border line, will have to fight for their place." Further enquiring about his thoughts on 'Bazball', he said, "That’s their (England) way of approaching the game. With this, they will win a few and they will lose a few. But that’s their style. Like their win in the first Test was amazing. But at the same time they have to be patient while playing on Indian wickets," he added. Read the full article

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.

[ad_1] Left: Ravi Ashwin, Right: Akash Deep. Photo: Debasis Sen -Subhayan Chakraborty in Adelaide Will it be Ravichandran Ashwin or Washington Sundar as India’s lone spinner in the second Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval, starting December 6? Who will be India’s third pacer? Will it be Harshit Rana, who had a brilliant Test debut in Perth, or will Akash Deep get the nod? Besides the opening spots, which seem to have been taken by KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal, the sole spinner and third pacer will be the two major headaches for the Indian team management as they gear up to take on the Aussies in a bid to go 2-0 up in the five-Test series. After completing a gruelling net session on Wednesday, head coach Gautam Gambhir pulled Ashwin aside for a lengthy chat lasting more than 20 minutes. Ashwin, along with Nitish Kumar Reddy and a few support staff, arrived at the Adelaide Oval at least an hour before the scheduled practice time. Both he and Reddy hit the nets straightaway, taking throwdowns to fine-tune their game. The duo batted for around 40 minutes, but the focus kept shifting towards Ashwin as he continuously conversed with the throwdown specialists, even asking one of them to bowl with a wider angle. Leaving the ball, defending right underneath the eyes, playing late, and driving the ball when the opportunity arose were some of the key takeaways from his session. After bowling to some of the main batters at the nets, Ashwin had another stint with the bat, hinting that he could very well be in the fray to make it to India’s playing XI in Adelaide. Ashwin has a decent record at the Adelaide Oval, having picked up 16 wickets in six innings at an average of 30. Meanwhile, he has kept things tight from one end, conceding runs at an economy of 2.64. With Adelaide Oval curator Damian Hough stating that the pitch will have assistance for spinners, Ashwin could emerge as a trump card with the ball. Though Washington Sundar has done nothing wrong to be dropped, the Gambhir-led team management could well opt for horses for courses. Virat Kohli with gautam Gambhir during India’s net session at Adelaide. Photo: Debasis Sen “We are happy about where we are today; the compaction and the moisture are where we want them to be,” Hough told reporters on Wednesday. “You do adapt every year, get some finer details in. It is coarse matted grass, even grass cover, good with regard to moisture, but dry and hard, so something where the quicks will get a bit out of it, spinners will be able to get some light turn and bounce, but also important for us to get some partnerships with the players and the batters to be able to play their shots.” With all the talk about pace, Hough was quick to point out the venue’s soft corner for spin: “Be assured, at the Adelaide Oval, traditionally spin plays a role, and we don’t see that changing.” Nathan Lyon, Australia’s frontline spinner over the past decade, also seemed excited about the prospect of bowling in Adelaide, where he was once part of the ground staff. “It is one of those world-class surfaces, and it is good for the spinners too,” said Lyon. When probed about the ball, he quipped: “Mate, be it a red ball, white ball, or pink ball, it’s all the same.” Lyon has an exceptional record at the Adelaide Oval, picking up 63 wickets, the most at the venue, in 25 innings at an average of 25.26. Given that, it’ll be interesting to see whether Ashwin gets a look in for the playing XI. The chances appear to be high. Harshit Rana vs Akash Deep Another interesting debate in the lead-up to the second Test will be about the third pacer. Rana and Akash are in the running for that spot. While Rana didn’t bowl at the nets on Wednesday, Akash has been garnering praises from Indian batters at the nets. Be it Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, or Shubman Gill, everyone has praised Akash at one point or another for winning the battle at the nets. “Andar dala tha ya bahar [Did you bring it in or take it out]?” asked Kohli after one delivery that came in with the angle before seaming away, leaving him in disarray.

When Akash said he wanted to execute just that, Kohli replied, “Bohot badhiya [Very good].” Akash has been troubling the Indian batters with the pink ball. He has been seaming the ball both ways while working closely with Morne Morkel on wrist position and release points. Though Rana had a cracking Test debut in Perth, picking up four wickets, before securing a four-for against the Prime Minister’s XI in Canberra with the pink ball, it would be interesting to see whether Akash gets the final nod in the playing XI. Harshit Rana bowling in the nets. Photo: Debasis Sen Rohit a Bit Scratchy at Nets In other developments, other Indian players, including Kohli, Rohit, Gill and Rahul, among others, spent around an hour each at the nets as they continued with their high-intensity practice in the build-up to the day-night Test. Though the Indian skipper, who was facing the new ball, looked a bit shaky initially, getting beaten by pacers and moving deliveries, he made certain adjustments to get better as the session progressed. There were multiple occasions on Wednesday when Rohit was beaten all ends up, with a few bowlers even cleaning him up. However, he went back to the template of leaving as many balls as possible and negating the deliveries onto his body with soft hands. However, it wasn’t the best of days for Rohit, who is expected to bat in the middle order. Kohli and Rahul were the pick of the batters from the India nets, with both of them timing the ball sweetly for the majority of the time. Kohli was at his intense best but kept having fun and friendly banter with the bowlers. The back-and-across trigger movement is back for Kohli as he looks to pile more misery on the Aussies, possibly with another century after the one in Perth.

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: India's 'Gen-Next' cricket team, led by captain Suryakumar Yadav, will face a strong Australian side in a five-match T20 International series, starting Thursday. The series will test young Indian cricketers like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rinku Singh, Tilak Verma, Jitesh Sharma, and Mukesh Kumar, who have made their international debuts recently. The Australian T20 side will feature World Cup heroes Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa, and former skipper Steve Smith, as well as IPL performers Marcus Stoinis, Nathan Ellis, Tim David, and Matthew Wade. The next two months will be crucial for these Indian youngsters as they aim to consolidate their spots for the T20 World Cup next year.
