IPL 2024: At long last, SRH’s Abhishek Sharma justifies the faith | Cricket News – Times of India

HYDERABAD: Of all the performances on Wednesday night, Sunrisers Hyderabad would be most pleased with the way Abhishek Sharma shaped up against Mumbai Indians. The 23-year-old left-hander smashed the fastest fifty for SRH and the 16- ball effort fetched him the player of the match award. Abhishek is one of the few domestic talents Abdul Samad, Rahul Tripathi and Mayank Markande are the others that SRH have persisted with despite inadequate returns since he joined them in 2019. Priyam Garg too was persisted with before he was discarded. This time, the move seems to have paid off. With a good domestic season behind him, Abhishek looked a much better player. He was the second highest scorer for Punjab 485 runs with a strike rate of 192 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 with two tons and t...

India vs West Indies: Another T20I series defeat points at India’s jumbled up approach in the format | Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: "We have enough time to figure out what is supposed to be done in T20s. Sometimes losing is good because it teaches you a lot of things," were India skipper Hardik Pandya's curious words after India's insipid eight-wicket drubbing in Lauderhill in the fifth T20I, a result which saw them lose the five-match T20I series to hosts West Indies, a side that had not got past the qualifiers in the last T20 World Cup in Australia.Like the team's countless passionate fans, the result should rankle India and its players. However, what one got from the captain was beating-around-the-bush platitudes.After India's 10-wicket shellacking against England in the T20 World Cup semifinal in Adelaide, last November, a reboot was rightly called for. For a country that hosts the most glamorous, cash-r...

IPL 2023: Sandeep no-ball, Samad last-ball six seal thrilling win for Sunrisers over Rajasthan

Rajasthan Royals had the match won several times before a no-ball at the death allowed Sunrisers Hyderabad to stay in contention with a last-ball six by Abdul Samad. The hosts believed they had the game in the bag when Samad was caught on the boundary off the sixth ball of the 20th over, with Sunrisers needing five for a win. As it turned out, the often-reliable Sandeep Sharma had overstepped and Samad smashed the free hit out of the ground to seal a four-wicket win and get his team off the foot of the points table as the Rajasthan Royals players were left shell-shocked. Drama at the end SRH needed 17 runs off the final over bowled by Sandeep Sharma with Samad and Marco Jansen at the crease. Samad hit a six off the second ball to leave the equation to five runs from the last delivery. T...

SRH vs PBKS Highlights: Mayank Markande, Rahul Tripathi script Sunrisers’ eight-wicket victory over Punjab | Cricket News – Times of India

HYDERABAD: Desperate for a win, Sunrisers Hyderabad rang in three changes to their playing XI against Punjab Kings and the move paid rich dividends as the hosts resurrected their campaign with a comprehensive eight-wicket victory at the RGIC Stadium, here on Sunday night.Sunrisers replaced Anmolpreet Singh, Adil Rashid and Abdul Samad with Heinrich Klaasen, left-arm seamer Marco Jansen and leggie Mayank Markande and it turned out to be a productive move as Punjab were restricted to a modest 143 for nine.

Watch: LSG’s Amit Mishra defies age to pull off a superb catch | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Veteran Amit Mishra defied age and gravity to grab an absolute stunner in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Lucknow on Friday. The 40-year-old leg-spinner stunned everyone on the field, including the batter Rahul Tripathi (35) with his unexpected and brilliant effort.The incident took place in the 18th over when seamer Yash Thakur digged in a slower bouncer outside off. Rahul tried to play the ramp shot but the lack of pace on the ball didn't allow him to time it successfully. As the ball ballooned in the air, Mishra, stationed at short third-man moved to his left and then produced a full-stretched dive, catching the ball mid-air. He then landed safely to complete the terrific effort. Mishra also ended up with superb bowling figures of 2 for 24 in the match as spinners...

India vs New Zealand, 1st T20I: Young guns have chance to fire and shine | Cricket News – Times of India

Twenty20 series vs Kiwis begins todayRANCHI: A three-match T20 International series ahead of Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the big-ticket ICC event, the 50-over World Cup later in the year, feels much like a shy person going to a rave party – without much to look forward to.However, there are many fringe or second-choice players who demand longer ropes and are knocking at the door to come into the first team on a more regular basis.For these players, the absence of the king-size regulars — like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel — is probably the biggest opportunity for the fringe players to grab the selectors' as well as team management's notice.So, when India take on the Kiwis in the series opener hereon Friday, it will be one of the last t...

3rd T20I: Pacers, top order in focus as India look to win series against Sri Lanka | Cricket News – Times of India

RAJKOT: The young pace bowling unit will look to pick up pieces from the hammering of previous night even as the Indian top-order itches to put in a meaningful performance against Sri Lanka in the decider of the three-match T20I series here on Saturday.After eking out a narrow last-ball win in the opener, India fell short by 16-run defeat as Sri Lanka levelled the three-match series 1-1.The inconsistency of a young attack was one of the reasons for the defeat but going forward Umran Malik and Shivam Mavi will know that it was great learning experience for them.They erred in their lines and didn't always bowl the fuller length, making the Sri Lankan batters job easy to guide the pace of the short pitched stuff.The Indian bowling unit bled runs with left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, who retu...
