Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja has slammed Indian team management for their unfair treatment to Ishan Kishan, who was rested from the last two T2OIs. “There was a series right after the World Cup. Ishan Kishan played three matches and went home (rested). Was he really that tired after three matches that he needed rest?,” Jadeja said on Sports Tak. “He didn’t even play a lot of games at the World Cup. He deserved his spot in the playing XI for the first few World Cup matches. How many Indian players have scored a double century on a good day?” Jadeja asked. Kishan, who played the first two games in the ODI World Cup and then warmed the bench throughout the campaign. Then in the recently-concluded T20I series, Ishan was rested for the last two matches.

Is Bishnoi now India’s No.1 wrist-spinner for T20 World Cup?

The emergence of Ravi Bishnoi as a prominent spinner not only enriches India’s spin resources, but also creates plenty of competition. With India expected to take not more than three spinners for the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the United States next June, six spinners will be vying for three spots. With variety being the key element, and India having just six more T20Is to play ahead of the World Cup, the next edition of the IPL will be the one that decides who makes the cut. Ravindra Jadeja vs Axar Patel It is the trickiest decision of the lot. Both are almost identical in terms of what they offer with the ball and are also livewires on the field. They are both capable of bowling those quiet overs that don’t allow batsmen to free their arms or get underneath the deliveries. If ...

Sliders and wrong’un: How Ravi Bishnoi is fighting for a spot in India’s T20 World Cup team

Ravi Bishnoi had just seen a 98.8 kmph full-length ball slog-swept for a six by Travis Head in the final T20 game. Next ball, he ratcheted the pace even further, going beyond the 100 mark and flung in his quick-arm slider off a good length on the middle-stump line. The left-handed Head arrested his tiny forward-step, pressed back, and had a defensive waft at it. But there was no time for jail-break; it all happened in a flash. The led lights lit up as the bails flew, beaten by the pace and the slider that had the ball crashing onto the off stump.Bishnoi doesn’t deal in surprises, but does the job by repetition. It was his trademark delivery – the flat, skidding, tilting into the right-handers at some pace, and it has repeatedly done the job for him in the limited-over series against Aus...

Is Ravi Bishnoi being seen as Yuzvendra Chahal’s successor in T20Is? | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: When Ravi Bishnoi's inclusion in India's T20I squad for the series against South Africa was announced, it served as a clear signal of his integral role in the team's long-term strategy, especially with the upcoming T20 World Cup in mind.With only six T20Is left before the marquee event, it appears that the 23-year-old leg-spinner has temporarily surpassed the seasoned Yuzvendra Chahalin the team's preference.Notably, Chahal is not part of the T20I squad facing South Africa.While the age gap between the 33-year-old Chahal and the 23-year-old Bishnoi could suggest a natural generational shift, the shift in game time allocation is not solely due to age factors.Stats that mattersIn T20Is this year, Chahal played nine matches, securing an equal number of wickets.

Suryakumar Yadav shares the takeaways after India’s T20 series win over Australia: Batters win you matches, but bowlers | Cricket News – Times of India

India entered the fifth and final T20I against Australia on Sunday having already secured the series, but the way Indian bowlers defended a modest total to make it 4-1, it augurs well for India on the road to next year's T20 World Cup.

At innings break, Australia had the advantage having restricted the Indian batting line-up.

Two wickets in the 17th over bowled by seamer Mukesh Kumar (3/32) changed the course of the match, and the Aussies ended up short at 154/8...

India vs Australia tip off XI: Washington Sundar to get a game, Deepak Chahar seeking redemption and more

Going into the final game of the IND vs AUS T20I series, to be played in Bengaluru, India will be looking to test their bench strength as they have already sealed the bilateral affair with a win in the fourth T20I in Raipur. Though there has yet to be a perfect performance from the Surykumar Yadav-led side so far in the series, they have managed to overcome challenges and pulled off wins. Bowling with the new ball has been something India have struggled with throughout the series. The Australian new ball bowlers haven’t been perfect either. But the difference in the two sides has been the quality of spinners. Compared to inexperienced Tanveer Sangha, India’s Ravis Bishnoi and Axar Patel extracted a lot more from the surfaces. If bowling has been a negative for both sides, the batting u...
