Suryakumar Yadav Vows to Maintain India's Aggressive T20I Style

Suryakumar Yadav Vows to Maintain India’s Aggressive T20I Style

By July 26, 2024 0

Suryakumar Yadav, the newly appointed captain of the Indian T20I team, has vowed to maintain the aggressive style of play that characterized Rohit Sharma’s tenure. Under Rohit’s leadership, India adopted a revolutionary attacking approach that has become their hallmark.

Suryakumar emphasized that the team’s “train will go ahead” with the same aggressive mindset, despite the change in captaincy. He aims to emulate Rohit’s leadership style and strategies, which he believes have been instrumental in India’s recent success.

“What I have learnt from Rohit is that he was always a leader on the ground and off it,” Suryakumar said. “He was not just a captain — there is a lot of difference between the two. He was a leader who stood in the middle of the group and showed people the way.”

Suryakumar also expressed his desire to provide opportunities for young talents like Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh. He believes that these players have the potential to make a significant impact on the upcoming matches against Sri Lanka.

Reflecting on his own journey, Suryakumar acknowledged that he has undergone a significant transformation over the last decade. He attributed this change to his marriage and the lessons he has learned from playing under different captains.

“I am also a completely changed man now,” he said. “In 2016, I got married. So, absolutely, you have to change after that as well. But yeah, things are completely different now.”

Suryakumar also addressed comments made by the newly appointed head coach, Gautam Gambhir, who expressed regret for not fully utilizing his potential during their time together at the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise. However, Suryakumar remained optimistic, stating that there is still ample time for him to showcase his skills and make a significant impact in the team.

“We can fulfil that potential together now,” he said with a smile. “Our bond has always been special. We have talked a lot. We both understand what we want to say just by our body language.”

Jasprit Bumrah Praises Rohit Sharma’s Leadership, Reflects on Growth as a Bowler

Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has heaped praise on Rohit Sharma’s leadership skills, highlighting the strong bond and understanding they have developed over the years.

Bumrah, who has played under Rohit’s captaincy in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Indian national team, recalled his early days with the Mumbai Indians, where he relied heavily on Rohit to set the field placements for him. However, over time, he realized the importance of becoming more self-reliant and started learning the craft himself.

“When I came into cricket, I didn’t know a lot – when I started playing IPL – I used to go and tell Rohit Sharma you set the field, I don’t know. I am going to bowl this ball, you set the field & I trust you, whatever the field right you set the field’ – then slowly I realised I can’t be overly dependent on others then I started learning the craft,” Bumrah told Indian Express.

Bumrah’s growth as a bowler has been remarkable, and he is now considered one of the best in all three formats of the game. His stellar performance at the T20 World Cup, where he was named Player of the Tournament, further cemented his status.

Bumrah’s ability to adapt and learn has been a key factor in his success. He has worked tirelessly to improve his skills and has become a more complete bowler. His ability to bowl with pace, accuracy, and control makes him a formidable opponent for any batsman.

Bumrah’s admiration for Rohit’s leadership is a testament to the strong relationship they have built over the years. Rohit’s ability to inspire and motivate his players has been a key factor in India’s success under his captaincy.

Rohit Sharma Returns to Hero's Welcome After T20 World Cup Triumph

Rohit Sharma Returns to Hero’s Welcome After T20 World Cup Triumph

By July 25, 2024 0

Following India’s triumphant victory at the T20 World Cup, captain Rohit Sharma returned to a hero’s welcome in New Delhi on Thursday. Upon his arrival at the airport, he was greeted by a throng of enthusiastic fans eager to catch a glimpse of their cricketing hero.

The crowd was so overwhelming that one fan even requested Rohit for a photograph, addressing him as “Rohit sir” and pleading, “Rohit sir ek photo dedo na” (Rohit sir, please have a selfie with me).

Accompanying Rohit were his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, and their daughter, Samaira, adding to the celebratory atmosphere surrounding the superstar cricketer’s homecoming. The craze and adulation from fans were palpable, reflecting the immense pride and joy that Rohit’s leadership and the team’s triumph had brought to the nation.

Rohit’s recent vacation in the United States, followed by a visit to London for Wimbledon, was well-documented across social media platforms, showcasing his activities after the World Cup victory.

However, the captain’s decision to retire from T20 Internationals following India’s win against South Africa in the T20 World Cup final marked the end of an illustrious chapter in his T20I career.

Looking ahead, Rohit Sharma’s focus shifts to the 50-over format, with a series of One Day International (ODI) matches scheduled against Sri Lanka. These matches are of particular importance as they serve as preparation for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy in 2025.

India’s cricket itinerary includes three T20 Internationals and three ODIs against Sri Lanka, spanning from July 27 to August 7. Apart from being newly-appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir’s first assignment in Indian colours, this series is crucial for Team India to fine-tune their strategies and for players like Rohit Sharma to prove their mettle in the shorter formats of the game.

Gambhir's Appointment Raises Questions About Rohit, Kohli's Future

Gambhir’s Appointment Raises Questions About Rohit, Kohli’s Future

By July 25, 2024 0

Gautam Gambhir’s appointment as India’s head coach has sparked speculation about the future of veteran batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both players retired from T20Is after the recent World Cup, leaving their availability for future tournaments uncertain.

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has confirmed that Rohit will lead India in the ICC Champions Trophy and World Test Championship in 2025. However, it remains unclear whether he and Kohli will be available for the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Gambhir has stated that both players are in his plans, emphasizing their experience and ability. However, former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth has pointed out Gambhir’s previous comments suggesting that senior players would be dropped if they underperformed in the T20 World Cup.

Srikkanth believes that Kohli’s fitness levels could allow him to play in the 2027 World Cup, but he doubts Rohit’s ability to perform at a high level at the age of 40. The tournament will be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia, which could pose physical challenges for older players.

The BCCI has not yet made a decision on the future of Rohit and Kohli. The selectors will likely assess their performances in the upcoming series and make a determination based on their form and fitness.

Kohli, Sharma, Jadeja Retire from T20 Internationals After World Cup Triumph

Kohli, Sharma, Jadeja Retire from T20 Internationals After World Cup Triumph

By July 23, 2024 0

Indian cricket legends Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma shocked the cricketing world by announcing their retirement from T20 internationals after India’s triumph in the T20 World Cup 2024. The unexpected news left fans and experts alike stunned.

While Kohli made the announcement during the post-match presentation ceremony, Sharma shared his decision in a press conference after the game. Many speculated that the retirements were pre-planned, but India’s former bowling coach Paras Mhambrey revealed that neither Kohli, Sharma, nor Ravindra Jadeja had hinted at their intentions to quit the shortest format.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Mhambrey expressed surprise at the trio’s sudden decision. “I think no one was expecting that,” he said. “If you had any conversation earlier, we would have known this would be coming. But none of them had this conversation.”

Mhambrey believes that the retirements were a fitting end to the illustrious careers of Kohli, Sharma, and Jadeja. “If you look at it from the players’ perspective, there can’t be a better end to one format, right?” he said. “We are talking about people who have been part of the dressing room for maybe more than a decade, 12-13 years.”

Kohli, who was part of the 2011 World Cup-winning team, had been desperate to add a T20 World Cup title to his resume. “Not to win a World Cup since 2011 must have been big,” Mhambrey said. “He wanted that badly.”

Sharma, who led India to victory in the 2024 tournament, also felt that it was the right time to step away from T20 internationals. “After winning the T20 World Cup, especially the stage that their careers are in… they’re no longer young,” Mhambrey said. “You’ve got to sometimes choose. You have to decide what formats you’re going to play and cut down the cricket to focus on a particular format because age is not on your side.”

The retirements of Kohli, Sharma, and Jadeja mark the end of an era for Indian cricket. However, Mhambrey believes that the team has a bright future ahead. “We have a lot of young players who are coming through,” he said. “We have a lot of talent in the country. So, I think Indian cricket is in good hands.”

Rohit Sharma's IPL Form Raises Concerns for India's T20 World Cup Hopes

Rohit Sharma’s IPL Form Raises Concerns for India’s T20 World Cup Hopes

By May 12, 2024 0

Rohit Sharma’s dismal batting performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) has raised concerns among Indian cricket fans and former players alike. The Mumbai Indians captain’s poor form has cast a shadow over India’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, with many questioning his place in the national team.

Rohit’s struggles with the bat have been evident throughout the IPL season. In 14 matches, he has managed only 218 runs at an average of 15.57 and a strike rate of 122.89. His highest score of 48 came against the Chennai Super Kings, but he has failed to convert any of his starts into substantial innings.

Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan expressed his concern over Rohit’s form, stating that it is a “big worry” for both Mumbai Indians and the Indian team. “Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma’s form is a big worry for Mumbai and Indians. You hope that they come back to form quickly,” Pathan wrote on Twitter.

However, former India pacer Varun Aaron believes that Rohit will not face the same difficulties with the Indian team as he has with Mumbai Indians. “I don’t think it’s a big worry. Rohit can flip the switch at national duty, he holds it in very high regard,” Aaron told ESPNCricinfo. “A player of his class, you can easily use the phrase form is temporary, class is permanent. He will find form, he doesn’t have to worry.”

Despite Aaron’s optimism, Rohit’s poor IPL form has put pressure on the Mumbai Indians management to rest him and other marquee players like Jasprit Bumrah. With only one league campaign left in the season, the team’s hopes of qualifying for the playoffs are all but over.

Rohit’s struggles have also raised questions about his leadership abilities. As captain of the Indian team, he has been criticized for his conservative approach and lack of tactical acumen. Some experts believe that his poor form with the bat has affected his decision-making on the field.

With the T20 World Cup 2024 just over a year away, Rohit’s form and leadership will be under intense scrutiny. The Indian team will need him to rediscover his batting prowess and provide the necessary guidance to the team if they are to challenge for the title.

Sehwag Slams Rohit, Suryakumar for Slow Starts, Costly Dismissals

Sehwag Slams Rohit, Suryakumar for Slow Starts, Costly Dismissals

By May 12, 2024 0

Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag has criticized Mumbai Indians’ (MI) batting duo Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav for their slow starts and subsequent dismissals in the IPL 2024 match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

In a rain-affected encounter reduced to 16 overs, MI chased a target of 158. While Ishan Kishan provided a solid start with 40 off 22 balls, Rohit and Suryakumar struggled to get going. Rohit scored 19 off 24 deliveries, while Suryakumar managed only 11 off 14.

Sehwag believes that the duo’s inability to accelerate their innings cost MI the match. “Whoever bowls good, just play him out. If two wickets hadn’t fallen, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav could’ve finished the match an over before,” he said on Cricbuzz.

He emphasized the importance of respecting the bowlers and playing out their good deliveries. “You can’t have an ego when you come out to bat. You play them out or punish the loose deliveries,” Sehwag added.

Sehwag also pointed out that Rohit and Suryakumar’s dismissals came on good deliveries. “The ball on which Rohit Sharma got out wasn’t a weak ball. No doubt Rohit and Suryakumar are great players, but that doesn’t mean you should hit the good deliveries, too,” he said.

KKR’s bowlers, led by Venkatesh Iyer, restricted MI to 142/9, securing a 15-run victory. Sehwag believes that if Rohit and Suryakumar had been set, they could have easily chased down the target.

“If Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav were set at that time, they would’ve hit 5 balls for boundaries. You could be Rohit Sharma or Suryakumar Yadav, but at least respect the delivery if you can’t respect the bowler,” he concluded.

Rohit Sharma’s KKR Meet-Up Fuels Transfer Rumors Amidst Mumbai Indians Exit Speculations

Former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma’s recent meeting with Kolkata Knight Riders coaches and support staff has ignited rumors of his potential departure from the five-time IPL champions. During a rain delay ahead of the MI vs KKR match at Eden Gardens, Rohit was spotted in the KKR dressing room, engaging in an animated conversation with assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, bowling coach Bharat Arun, and players Manish Pandey and KS Bharat.

These rumors have been circulating since Hardik Pandya controversially took over the captaincy from Rohit, reportedly leaving the opener unhappy with the franchise. Social media has been abuzz with speculation that Rohit may leave MI after this season.

Rohit’s meeting with KKR coaches on Saturday has further fueled the transfer talks. Earlier, a now-deleted video of Rohit and Nayar posted by KKR went viral on social media. In the clip, Rohit appeared to express dissatisfaction with the current situation at MI. The video was later removed by KKR from its social media handles.

KKR’s 18-run victory over MI in a rain-shortened game on Saturday marked their qualification for the IPL 2024 playoffs. MI, on the other hand, have been eliminated from the playoffs race, having suffered 9 losses in 13 games under Hardik’s leadership.

Mumbai Indians' Woes Raise Concerns for Team India Ahead of T20 World Cup

Mumbai Indians’ Dismal IPL Performance Raises Concerns for Team India Ahead of T20 World Cup

Mumbai Indians’ disastrous IPL season under new captain Hardik Pandya has cast a shadow over Team India’s preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup. With nine losses in 13 games, MI are out of playoff contention and face the ignominy of finishing last on the points table.

Amidst the team’s struggles, the poor form of two key Indian stars, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya, has emerged as a major concern. Rohit, the Indian captain, has managed only 349 runs in 13 IPL games at an average of just over 29. Hardik, the vice-captain, has fared even worse with just 200 runs.

This lack of form is particularly worrying for Team India, who will rely heavily on Rohit and Hardik in the T20 World Cup. Rohit is the team’s leading batsman, while Hardik is a crucial all-rounder who provides both batting and bowling options.

Cricket expert and commentator Harsha Bhogle has expressed concern over the duo’s struggles, stating that head coach Rahul Dravid’s immediate task is to get them back in good shape. “With both Team India captain Rohit and vice-captain Hardik struggling, a worried cricket expert and commentator Harsha Bhogle opined that head coach Rahul Dravid’s task at hand right now would be getting the two back in good shape,” Bhogle tweeted.

However, there is some good news for Team India. Other Indian stars in the MI lineup, such as Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah, have performed well in the IPL. Yadav has scored 303 runs in 13 games, while Bumrah has taken 12 wickets.

The T20 World Cup begins on June 1, with India taking on Ireland in their opening match on June 5. Team India will be hoping that Rohit and Hardik can rediscover their form before the tournament and lead the team to success.

Rohit Sharma's IPL Slump Continues, Raises Concerns for India

Rohit Sharma’s IPL Slump Continues, Raises Concerns for India

By May 12, 2024 0

Rohit Sharma’s IPL 2024 campaign has taken a dismal turn, with the Indian skipper enduring a prolonged batting slump. In the latest setback, Sharma failed to deliver against Kolkata Knight Riders, scoring a meager 19 runs off 24 balls. This marked his sixth consecutive innings without a substantial contribution, with his recent scores reading 4, 11, 4, 8, and 6.

Chasing a revised target of 158 in 16 overs, Mumbai Indians had a platform for Sharma to make an impact. However, he failed to capitalize on the opportunity, his dismissal proving a major blow to MI’s hopes. The team ultimately fell short by 18 runs.

Sharma’s struggles have raised concerns among cricket experts. Former South Africa star Shaun Pollock expressed worry over the manner in which the Indian captain has been getting out. Pollock noted that Sharma’s attempts to introduce unorthodox shots into his game have led to soft dismissals.

Pollock also suggested that the stress of selecting the Indian team for the T20 World Cup may have contributed to Sharma’s poor form. He speculated that the pressure of finding the right balance and explaining team selections could have added to the skipper’s burden.

The reaction to Sharma’s dismissal was one of shock from the rival camp. KKR co-owner Juhi Chawla, Suhana Khan (daughter of another KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan), and Ananya Pandey were visibly stunned.

Despite Sharma’s struggles, Mumbai Indians remain hopeful of a turnaround. The team has shown resilience in the past and will be looking to regroup and find their winning ways. However, Sharma’s form remains a major concern, and his ability to rediscover his touch will be crucial to MI’s chances of success in the remainder of the tournament.
