India vs Australia WTC Final: Pluck and luck play a part in Ajinkya Rahane’s redemption | Cricket News – Times of India

After his hurricane yet pleasing 27-ball 61 for Chennai Super Kings against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in the IPL, Ajinkya Rahane, while speaking to Ravi Shastri, the former India coach on TV, said, "I love playing at the Wankhede. I know the ground well. I have not played a Test here, yet."That word "yet", was a bigger statement than his refreshingly liberated innings and the stroke-filled cameos he essayed throughout the IPL. It basically said, "I am not going anywhere. Not yet".1/9Ajinkya Rahane becomes 13th Indian to score 5000 runs in Test cricketShow Captions<p>Ajinkya Rahane who made his comeback into the Indian team completed 5000 runs in the longest format of the game during the WTC final against Australia at the Oval.<br /><br /><br /><br...

WTC Final: Saba Karim feels Ishan Kishan has to wait for his red-ball debut | Cricket News – Times of India

KOLKATA: Former India player Saba Karim has many things in common with young wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan. Both hail from Patna and have similar playing roles.But anyone will hope that the similarity between them ends here and the flamboyant youngster, who is in the squad for World Test Championship (WTC) Final hoping to make his India debut in whites, does not share with Karim the kind of short international career the latter had due to a serious eye injury while keeping to Anil Kumble.Kishan - in the WTC Final squad as a replacement for injured KL Rahul - also had a scare when he injured his eye following a freak collision with teammate Chris Jordan in the IPL Qualifier 2.

IPL 2023: Shubman Gill’s work ethic shines through | Cricket News – Times of India

Teammates praise him for approaching game with clear mindAHMEDABAD: It is the fifth ball of the 14th over of Gujarat Titans' innings. Mumbai Indians allrounder Cameron Green is running in to ball to a marauding Shubman Gill. The latter, then batting on 110, dances down the pitch exposing his stumps. Green, though, shortens his length, lands the delivery on a fifth stump line and looks to have beaten the 23-year-old's attempted aggressive shot. But, that's not the end of the story. Using his long reach and generating strength from his powerful arms and wrists, Gill, despite getting cramped, is able to manufacture a shot that lands way beyond the long-on fence. That cricketing shot, the short-arm jab, exemplifies Gill, his approach to batting, his vivid range of shot-making, and above all...

WTC Final: Injuries to Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant will affect India, says Ian Chappell | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Ian Chappell believes that Australia's formidable pace attack will provide them with an advantage in the upcoming World Test Championship final against India, particularly in English conditions. The former Australian captain suggests that India might be "badly affected" by the absence of injured players Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant, whose contributions could be missed.Furthermore, the Indian team has also been dealt with the blow of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul being ruled out of the final due to injuries.

Ajinkya Rahane’s form in IPL 2023 puts him in contention for World Test Championship final spot

Few days before the start of the ongoing Indian Premier League season as Chennai Super Kings played an intra-squad practice fixture, one of the notable absentees was Ajinkya Rahane. In a game where the likes of Shivam Dube, Devon Conway and Moeen Ali batted twice, Rahane didn’t get an opportunity to bat. Instead, he headed to the practice facilities at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, where he faced a few throwdowns and batted against net bowlers. He cut a lonely figure that day as he quietly trained away from all the attention as even the support staff were engrossed in what was happening in the middle.That looks like a long time ago now. After 33 matches into the IPL, Rahane is sitting at the top of the strike rate charts (189) for any batsman who has faced a minimum of 100 deliveries. Thi...

“The pants are red, the shirt is blue. The golden lion shining through. We are RCB and we are playing bold. Go to the final on our own. A finer kit you will never see….like you’ll never see. I think it’s quicker,” Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis halted for a moment and explained to his teammate, David Willey the precise pace for a bit during the team’s song. Off they went again, “A finer team there’ll never be. Those other teams don’t bother me. From RCB, I am proud to be.” The rest of the players would join them for the whole bit followed by loud RCB chants in sync with claps. The dressing room celebrations at the Chinnaswamy Stadium felt like a page out of football. A sport heavy on songs and chants, from the fans and the players. RCB weren’t the only ones to do so ...
