[ad_1] NEW DELHI: In a breathtaking display of athleticism, Rajasthan Royals fast bowler Avesh Khan stunned spectators with a one-handed blinder on his follow-through to get rid of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) opener Philip Salt in the IPL match at the Eden Gardens on Tuesday.The remarkable feat didn't end there, as Avesh, in a moment of flair, took skipper Sanju Samson's glove and theatrically displayed it towards the dressing room.This theatrics by Avesh transpired due to Samson's statement after their last match against GT: "I need to tell my fast bowlers that it's a bit easier to catch with the gloves instead of hands." Samson was not very happy with the way RR fielded against GT, especially on one occasion when he almost collided with paceman Avesh in pursuit of a skier, ultimately b...

IPL 2024: Finally, Riyan Parag walks the talk | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] JAIPUR: When Riyan Parag raised his bat to celebrate his half-century after hitting a six off Delhi Capitals pacer Mukesh Kumar, it marked a moment of great personal triumph for the young batter.Having struggled for the last couple of seasons despite dominating the domestic circuit, Riyan had a point to prove to those who were questioning his place in the Rajasthan Royals playing XI.The 22-year-old had a forgettable last season as he managed to score just 78 runs (7, 20, 7, 5, 15*, 4, 20) in seven matches batting in the lower middle order. However, Riyan seems to be on a mission this year. He launched the 2024 IPL by slamming a crucial 43 runs during Royals' 20-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants in the first outing on March 24.The No. 4 batter continued from where he had left l...

RR vs DC: Sandeep and Avesh embrace pressure, Parag and Ashwin salvage a perilous situation, Pant’s frustrations

[ad_1] In the end, the endgame mattered. The big difference was in the death overs. During RR’s innings, overs 16 to 20 resulted in 77 runs and just one wicket (15.4 RPO) as Riyan Parag went ballistic. In contrast, DC managed 53/1 (10.6 RPO). Central to that was Sandeep Sharma and Avesh Khan, the two Indian pacers in RR’s wonderfully varied bowling attack.One of the decisive factors in the match against Lucknow Super Giants was Sandeep’s bowling in the death overs, and for the second game running, he delivered for his captain. The bowling figures might not necessarily flatter Sandeep on the night (0/36) but in the 19th over, he bounced back beautifully after going for 10 runs off the first two balls. Then with 17 to defend in the last over, it was Avesh’s turn to trust his practice, stic...

How the much-chided Riyan Parag composed his IPL-best to orchestrate RR’s win over DC

[ad_1] Synopsis: Delhi set up the game with early breakthroughs but Riyan Parag, in his new role, turned the tide. Despite early wickets, David Warner posed a threat but Avesh Khan would see off the game for Rajasthan.Parag thrives at no. 4 After the early setbacks, it was the wild card entry of Ravichandran Ashwin at no. 5 that spiced up Rajasthan’s innings. Three polished sixes in the space of a couple overs amped up a désolante run rate. Shouldering the innings for much of its entirety, however, fell upon the newly promoted number four, Riyan Parag. It’s been one of the recurring queries over the past few seasons – how long can Rajasthan persist with him? The hype has been there since he first arrived on the IPL stage, but the returns haven’t come. The trolls have followed. “People ha...

[ad_1] MUMBAI: Will 'keeper-bat Dhruv Jurel make his Test debut in the third Test against England at Rajkot in place of the struggling KS Bharat? Well, that could very well be the case when action resumes in the series, currently tied at 1-1, from February15. As per well-placed sources in the BCCI that TOI spoke to, the key decision-makers in Indian cricket may have run out of patience with wicketkeeper Bharat, who hasn't done anything significant in the seven Tests that he has played so far in."Bharat's batting has been well below-par, while his 'keeping hasn't been great either. He isn't making use of his chances. Jurel, on the other hand, is talented, has a good attitude and has a bright future.

Ranji Trophy: Can Rinku step up to find a path to Test cricket?

[ad_1] Ranji Trophy is not the marquee tournament anymore, but for those on the fringe and ready to toil it can be rewarding. Kuldeep Yadav: With R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel in the pecking order in Tests, the left-arm wrist spinner hasn’t been able to wield his magic with the red ball. A good start to the Ranji season with Test series around the corner could open the door for him. Washington Sundar: Struggled because of injuries and indifferent form last year, which meant he was in and out of the national team. Capable of providing all-round balance, if Washington finds form, he would be a value addition to the Indian team that is short on multi-faceted players.

India vs South Africa: Avesh Khan added to India’s squad for 2nd Test in Cape Town

[ad_1] Avesh Khan has been added to the second of the two-match Test series against South Africa in Cape Town starting next week. The Indian bowling looked toothless in the first Test at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. In the ongoing India A game against South Africa A, Avesh picked up an impressive five-wicket haul, helping the visitors bowl out the hosts for 263 at Benoni in the first innings. Not only has he picked wickets, but he bowled five maidens in his 23.3 overs spell and kept the scoring down. While Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj did a decent job in the first Test, the pressure was released on the batters as soon as they were taken out of the attack. Prasidh Krishna, on his debut, looked out of his depth in the game, and Shardul Thakur could not keep a lid on the scoring...
