[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Clocking deliveries over 150 kph-plus used to be child's play for Pakistan speed merchant Shoaib Akhtar. And to go with that, the deadly toe-crushers and balls whistling past the ears and noses, made Akhtar a nightmare for the opposition batters.But for former India opener Virender Sehwag, playing Shoaib was like just another pacer as he used to deal with him severely, exploiting his pace when both were up against one another.However, the Pakistan pacer did manage to get the better of Sehwag on a few occasions.In a recent interaction between the two superstars from the neighbouring countries, Sehwag said that Akhtar's long run-up used to distract him during their duel and made him impatient while batting. 'Abhi lagenge 10-15 seconds aane me', Sehwag said on Akhtar's run...

First look at New York’s 34,000-seater Nassau County International Cricket Stadium that will host India vs Pakistan clash at T20 World Cup

[ad_1] India facing Pakistan in an ICC event is always one of the highlights of the tournament, irrespective of where the game is played. Though the game in Ahmedabad in the 50-over World Cup was a one-sided affair in favor of India, the one played at the T20 World Cup in 2022 at MCG was a Virat Kohli special and arguably one of the best games the arch-rivals have been involved in. For the upcoming T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA, the iconic contest will be held in New York on June 9. The stadium was unveiled on Wednesday, and its construction is underway and is expected to be finished within three months. “We are excited to be unveiling the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024,” ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice...

Babar Azam must quit captaincy… there is no shame in doing so, says Intikhab Alam

[ad_1] Babar Azam should take the leaf out of Virat Kohli’s book and must quit captaincy so that he can enjoy his batting and can become one of the greatest batsmen of all time. There is a lot of pressure on Babar Azam from the outside as well as from the inside. I personally feel he should quit captaincy. He lacks that character. As a captain, one should be bubbly and calling the shots in the ground. He doesn’t talk much. I hardly see him talking to the bowlers. As a captain, you can’t let your chips down. Against Australia, he looked out of ideas, his shoulders were down. If your bowlers are leaking runs, you need to talk to them, give them plan B if plan A has backfired. When things are going wrong, that’s when you need a strong captain. Cricket is a thinking game, and a smart captain...

‘An India-Pakistan series is not going to be competitive at all’: Gautam Gambhir

[ad_1] Former Indian player Gautam Gambhir has predicted that the India-Pakistan series would not be competitive any more because of the difference in quality of the sides and also recalled Pakistan used to hammer India like Rohit Sharma’s men did to The Men in Green on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the ongoing World Cup. “Hammering along with domination. You use this word very rarely, that too when you are playing against Pakistan. If you see the results, Pakistan used to hammer India like this for a long time. However, for the last many years, India have dominated,” said Gambhir speaking on Star Sports. “This is bad for subcontinental cricket. We always used to say that if we have an India-Pakistan series it will be competitive. An India-Pakistan series is not going to be co...

Indian cricket team is putting on a spectacular show of skills this World Cup, and you’d easily pay to watch it

[ad_1] It was just after the ninth over, shortly after Rohit Sharma had smeared Haris Rauf for a pair of sixes, that the edges of a wondrous night in Ahmedabad began to sharpen a little and the destiny of the game assumed crystal clarity. The fate of a crushing India win seemed unchangeable—no tweak or tactic could alter it—for such was the domination India wielded. So much so that not a nerve of anxiety was shed in the ocean of blue the stands was. Pakistan looked shattered, tired of running into dead ends filled with blue shirts.In three matches of this World Cup, India have blown their opponents away with a streak of ruthlessness reminiscent of Ricky Ponting’s Australia that claimed back-to-back titles. But the most fascinating aspect of their game is not merely winning or dominating,...

IND vs PAK: Eoin Morgan criticises Pakistan’s batting collapse in the high-octane clash

You have to bring your A-game. So I got a boxing match. You can’t have a bad round. You can have a bad blow here and there.

After India vs Pakistan game, Mickey Arthur says: ‘Didn’t seem like ICC event… didn’t hear Dil Dil Pakistan’

[ad_1] Pakistan team director Mickey Arthur said the atmosphere at the Narendra Modi Stadium for the India versus Pakistan encounter felt like a bilateral series was being played. With Pakistani fans and journalists still awaiting their visas from India, the match was played in front of a sea of blue jersey sporting fans. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad can host over 1,30,000 people. On Saturday, all of them were partisan Indian supporters, thereby making the atmosphere even more intimidating for the visiting team, which has not played in Indian conditions for many years. “It didn’t seem like an ICC event to be brutally honest.

Pakistan should pick players on merit and improve body language, feel former players

[ad_1] Former captain and PCB chief Ramiz Raja has urged Pakistan captain Babar Azam and team management to pick players on merit and reassess Fakhar Zaman’s form ahead of the team’s must-win Asia Cup game against Sri Lanka. Pakistan will take on Sri Lanka on Thursday in a Super 4 match which will act as a virtual semifinal, since the winner will face India in the final on Sunday, September 17. Following Pakistan’s heaviest loss to India in ODIs by 228 runs in the Asia Cup, Raja has come down hard on Babar’s team over their reluctance to drop the out-of-form Zaman.

KL Rahul keeps wickets at nets ahead of Pakistan clash

[ad_1] Can KL Rahul keep wickets for the entire duration of an ODI? That question has gathered steam after his inclusion in the India squad for ongoing Asia Cup and the upcoming World Cup. But on Friday, Rahul might have answered a few sceptics while keeping for nearly 45 minutes at nets. Even though Rahul has been batting quite fluently at the NCA match simulation process and at nets here, his wicketkeeping remained a subject of speculation. Rahul’s intense keeping drill at nets might have also brightened his chance of getting included in India’s playing 11 for the Super 4 match against Pakistan on Sunday. Rahul last played for India in an ODI match against Australia in Chennai in March this year. Going through various scenarios of a match was at the core of Rahul’s training at the Prem...

‘Bahot acche yaar’: Virat Kohli applauds Haris Rauf’s rise from India’s net bowler in reunion ahead of IND-PAK Asia Cup clash

Asia Cup 2023: For India-Pakistan blockbuster, thousands descend onto the quaint island town of Pallekele

[ad_1] Pallekele is a small, quiet town, just a half-an-hour drive from Kandy, the second largest city in Sri Lanka dotted with tea plantations. The locale is so quiet that even the chirp of a bird could wake you up in the morning. Perched on the hillside, tourists flock here to unwind and soak in the greenery, with a cup of tea or a swig of arrack with ginger ale by their side. But since Friday morning, the town, with a population of only 1,11,701, has been buzzing, witnessing something new, with the inflow of cricket tourists from the Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo, bringing some parts of the town to a standstill. The occasion thus is set for the first of the six potential encounters in the next two months, from Asia Cup to the World Cup, between rivals India and Pakista...
