Next-gen XI | Youngistan

Team India’s 13-year-long dry spell at World Cup tournaments was broken in the early hours of June 30. Amidst the jubilation came the news of Rohit Sharma, 37, and Virat Kohli, 35, signing off from T20Is. A day later, Ravindra Jadeja joined them. With the loss of two talismanic batters, questions arose as to who takes the baton from them. Team India has two years to find the balance of power and precision when they defend the title on home turf. The dynamic Hardik Pandya and the invincible Jasprit Bumrah are dead certs for their spots; Suryakumar Yadav’s magical versatility and Rishabh Pant’s hunger to succeed will make them hard to replace. Nonetheless, fresh blood will also be infused and the Indian Premier League will be the usual hunting ground for selectors. By no means is this li...

‘Inko aata hi nahi spin khelna’: Shoaib Akhtar trolls England after losing to India in T20 World Cup semifinal | Cricket News – Times of India

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar said playing spin is not England's cup of tea, as the Indian spinners triggered a collapse on Thursday in Guyana that saw the defending champions bow out of the T20 World Cup in the semifinals. Left-armers Kuldeep Yadav (3 for 19) and Axar Patel (3 for 23) took the sting out of England batting, bowling them out for 103 after India had put up a challenging 171 for 7 on the board following England's decision to bowl first after winning the toss."Indians can manage spin; Rohit Sharma can, he managed Adil (Rashid)...Inko aata hi nahi khelna spin (England don't know how to play spin).

Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav spin a web, power India to T20 World Cup final

Rohit Sharma allowed himself a visibly irritated grin and a sharp glare, the one that gives questions he doesn’t want to delve deep into. The question was about packing four spinners to the West Indies. Sharma took a deep breath and explained in an assertive tone: “I don’t want to go into details on this. I definitely wanted four spinners. There are technical aspects involved in this. I won’t reveal it now.” Rohit exuded a resounding conviction about the quartet, which has been gloriously vindicated as the tournament has progressed. If India’s pace trio had grabbed most of the bouquets in the group games, the spin trio had spread their wings and fluttered in the latter games of Super Eight and the semifinal against England.

How Rohit Sharma re-tuned his batting strategy to make a gem of a half-century in big win over England

Once the covers came off after a rain-delayed start to reveal a dry low-skidding track, it was clear that India were favourites. Nothing changed during the entire course of the game as India trounced defending champions England by 68 runs. As easy as it appeared, especially during the chase when England capitulated meekly, the win was set up by a crafty knock from Rohit Sharma, skilful exhibition from Suryakumar Yadav, and momentum-seizing cameos from Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja.Above all, it was Rohit who led the way. With his thought and skill. For a short while, say the first four overs, Rohit Sharma hadn’t got used to the pace and (low) bounce of the pitch. Or rather he was trying to see if he can get away batting in his usual attacking manner. An intended cut burst through th...
