Wouldn’t want Jasprit Bumrah to play more than Two Tests in a row against England: Shane Bond

Former New Zealand pacer Shane Bond has advised that India should not play Jasprit Bumrah for ‘more than two Tests in a row’ during this summer’s tour to England. Bond warned that another injury to the Indian ace could be a ‘career ender’. Bumrah hasn’t played since the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney in January, when he walked off for scans on Day 2. It was later diagnosed as a stress injury, forcing him to sit out of the Champions Trophy. Bond, who had his fair share of injuries, warned that the transition from the Indian Premier League, starting March 22, to the new World Test Championship cycle ‘will be a risk.’ Story continues below this ad “He’s too valuable for the next World Cup and stuff.

‘We don’t look at averages, stats and all that stuff’: Gautam Gambhir on Axar Patel’s elevation

After India defeated England 3-0 in the ODI series, coach Gautam Gambhir explained his rationale for promoting Axar Patel up the batting order over KL Rahul in the first two ODIs. “That’s the way cricket is meant to be played,” Gambhir explained when asked about Axar’s promotion in the batting order. “I know a lot of people talk about it, but that’s the way we got to play the game, and that’s the way cricket should be played. It’s not about the batting order, it’s about who can create what impact. If you have the option of putting a quality left-hand batter in the middle, why won’t you do that?” Gambhir asked. “Why would you want to have top five as right-handers? We don’t look at averages and stats and all that stuff. We look at who can deliver more at that number. And Axar has done fab...

Shreyas Iyer wasn’t likely to play if Kohli was fit…first Indian to score 500+ runs batting at 4: Aakash Chopra slams selection thought process

India was 19-2 when Shreyas Iyer walked to the crease on Thursday. The likes of Jofra Archer and Saqib Mahmood were bowling thunderbolts to the batters under lights defending 249 runs. However, Iyer was up to the challenge as he came up with a sublime counter-attacking innings of 36-ball 59 which changed the momentum of the game. After the game, Iyer would reveal that he was not supposed to play the game and it was only because Virat Kohli had an injury the night before. “As you all know I wasn’t supposed to play today. Virat unfortunately got injured and then I got the opportunity. I kept myself prepared. I knew that at any point of time I can get a chance to play.

Shreyas Iyer says he wasn’t supposed to play 1st ODI, was only added to XI after Virat Kohli was ruled out

When Virat Kohli pulled out of the first ODI against England due to a sore knee in the morning of the game, it was thought Yashasvi Jaiswal was the one who replaced him. But Shreyas Iyer revealed at the end of the game that he wouldn’t have played the game had Kohli been fit. The surprise move reveals India’s mood ahead of the Champions Trophy and in particular the head coach Gautam Gambhir’s preference to have left-right combination in the batting line-up. “As you all know I wasn’t supposed to play today. Virat unfortunately got injured and then I got the opportunity. I kept myself prepared. I knew that at any point of time I can get a chance to play.

Jos Buttler slams India’s concussion sub swap in Pune T20I: ‘Either Shivam Dube has put on 25mph with the ball or Harshit Rana’s..’

Following England’s defeat in the fourth T20I in Pune that handed India a series win with an unassailable 3-1 lead, skipper Jos Buttler slammed the match referee’s decision to allow on seamer Harshit Rana to make his debut in place of concussed batting all-rounder Shivam Dube. Both Dube and Rana ended up making significant contributions at crucial junctures in either innings, leaving England 15 runs short in a 182-run case on Friday. After another top-order collapse, Dube playing his first match of the series, put on a sizable partnership with Hardik Pandya, smashing 53 off 34 deliveries. The southpaw suffered a concussion following a Jamie Overton short ball off the penultimate ball of India’s innings. Interestingly, it was Rana, known more for his seam-bowling skills than his batting th...

Hardik Pandya makes extraordinary look like an everyday chore, taking India to 15-run thrilling win

In a game of multiple narratives, sterling cameos and comebacks within comebacks, the chief protagonist remained Hardik Pandya. The soul of India’s 15-run, series-sealing victory over England was the wisdom, the chutzpah and belief of Hardik Pandya. When the match wound up, maroon and red plumes from the firecrackers worming into the skies, the cameras converged on Pandya, who strolled with an air of indifference, as though his match-turning 53 was nothing special, but just an ordinary show. Perhaps, he has reached a stage of his career where routine match-defining acts don’t excite him. He has shaped the destiny of countless matches, won every accolade the shortest format could bestow over a cricketer and there is no dream that remains unfulfilled. He makes no fuss, inspires no needless ...

The defeat has exposed certain chinks in the floating batting order as well as India’s overreliance on spin-bowling all-rounders. At Pune, India could reinforce their attack with the return of Arshdeep Singh while Washington Sundar could make way for seam-bowling all-rounder Ramandeep Singh. Predicted XIs India predicted XI ...

IND vs ENG: India are playing with just one fast bowler…are missing a trick: Parthiv Patel

In the first three T20Is against England in the ongoing series India has picked up just one frontline seamer. If it was Arshdeep Singh in Kolkata, Chennai it was Mohammed Shami in Rajkot. Hardik Pandya took the new ball and bowled at the death and played the role of the second seamer in the side. The tactic bore fruits in the first two games however, India lost the third T20I at Rajkot and former Indian batter Parthiv Patel opiated that having an extra seamer on the night would have been better. “India is playing with just one fast bowler. You went with four spinners which worked in favour of Liam Livingstone. He went after them and scored runs. If another pacer was there in the Playing XI, it would have been easy to target Liam. India is missing a trick,” said Patel on Star Sports. While ...

India vs England T20I series: Varun Chakravarthy’s 5-for in vain as Adil Rashid helps visitors stay alive

The last flicker of India’s slow-burning chase was extinguished on the first ball of the 19th over. Hardik Pandya, raging against the tide of defeat, flat-batted Jamie Overton to long-off. The batsman swiped the air in anger, as he couldn’t get underneath the ball as much as he wanted to; Jos Buttler, the catcher and England captain, flung the ball into the air in delight. The 26-runs victory ensured that his team would stay alive in the five-game series that India leads 2-1.The hosts would consider it an aberration — they have looked invincible since early 2023, having claimed seven of their last eight series and drawn the other, apart from being world champions. Such days — when India restricted England to 171, even though they let them off the hook from 127 for eight, but couldn’t gathe...

India vs England: Shivam Dube set to join Indian squad in Rajkot for ongoing T20I series

Allrounder Shivam Dube, who was part of the World Cup-winning campaign last year, has been added to India’s T20I squad for the ongoing five-match T20 series against England by the senior selection committee. Dube will join the Indian team in Rajkot. The Indian Express understands that Dube has been called up to the squad as Nitish Kumar Reddy is reported to have picked up an injury from which he hasn’t recovered yet. Dube played for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir, though his performances were disappointing at the Bandra Kurla Complex, where he got out 0 in both innings as Mumbai suffered a damaging defeat. Dube wasn’t originally picked for the Indian T20 team as selectors had gone with Reddy and Hardik Pandya as the two all-rounders in the squad. The Mumbaikar ...

Harry Brook blames smog in Kolkata for England team’s spin troubles

England star Harry Brook has said that the smog in Kolkata made it difficult to pick the turning ball in the first T20I, in which the Indian cricket team defeated England by a seven-wicket margin with 43 balls to spare. Brook was bowled by a wrong’ un from leg-spinner, Varun Chakravarthy. Brook was then followed back into the hut two balls later by Liam Livingstone, who was also dismissed in a similar fashion. The England vice captain Brook made 17 runs in the match on Wednesday. He praised Chakravarthy as an “exceptionally good bowler” ahead of the second T20I in Chennai. Chakravarthy was the pick of the Indian cricket team’s bowling attack, ending the night with three wickets for 23 runs in his four overs. “With the smog the other night, it was a lot harder to pick. Hopefully the air i...
