Suryakumar Yadav Targets Record as India Face South Africa in T20I Series

Suryakumar Yadav Targets Record as India Face South Africa in T20I Series

By October 30, 2024 0

Suryakumar Yadav Eyes Milestone as India Gear Up for South Africa T20I Series

India’s swashbuckling batter Suryakumar Yadav is poised to etch his name in the record books as he prepares to lead the team in a four-match Twenty20 International series against South Africa. Yadav, who has been in scintillating form, is on the cusp of surpassing Rohit Sharma as the highest-scoring Indian batter against the Proteas in T20Is.

Currently ranked third among Indian batters with 346 runs in seven T20Is against South Africa, Yadav needs just 84 more runs to eclipse Sharma’s tally of 429 runs. The Mumbai Indians star has been a consistent performer against the Proteas, averaging an impressive 57.66.

Sharma, who led India to victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup, has amassed 429 runs in 18 T20I matches against South Africa, averaging 26.81. Virat Kohli, India’s run machine, is second on the list with 394 runs in 14 matches, averaging 39.40.

The upcoming series will provide Yadav with an ideal opportunity to cement his status as one of India’s most prolific T20I batters. The first T20I will be played on November 8 at Kingsmead in Durban, followed by the second on November 10 in Gqeberha, the third on November 13 in Centurion, and the fourth and final T20I on November 15 in Johannesburg.

Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka Unleashes Batting Fury in Dambulla T20I

Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka set the Dambulla International Stadium ablaze with an extraordinary display of strokeplay in the second T20I against the West Indies on Tuesday. The left-handed opener’s blistering knock in the fourth over of the innings left the crowd in awe and sent shockwaves through the opposition.

Nissanka’s onslaught began with a stroke of luck. He mistimed a heave off Shamar Joseph’s first delivery, but the ball deflected off his pads and rolled to the boundary for four leg byes. This fortunate start seemed to ignite a fire within Nissanka, who proceeded to unleash a barrage of boundaries.

On the next ball, Nissanka danced down the track and lofted a 138kmph length ball elegantly over extra cover. The following delivery was pulled with brute force over backward square leg, leaving the fielder stranded. Three boundaries were now on the trot, and Nissanka wasn’t done yet.

The very next ball was drilled straight down the ground through wide mid-off, causing the crowd to erupt in cheers. With Joseph visibly shaken, Nissanka took full advantage. The over culminated in style as Nissanka waited on a slower back-of-length ball, dissecting the gap between backward point and short third with pinpoint precision.

Six boundaries (including one leg bye) had come off the over, tallying a massive 25 runs! This blitzkrieg propelled Sri Lanka to an aggressive start, with Nissanka finishing his innings on 54 off 49 balls.

Nissanka’s batting masterclass in the fourth over was a testament to his exceptional talent and fearless approach. It not only set the tone for Sri Lanka’s innings but also left an unforgettable mark on the match.

Nitish Reddy’s Power-Hitting Sixes Stun Bangladesh in Second T20I

By October 9, 2024 0

Nitish Reddy, the rising star of Indian cricket, showcased his exceptional power-hitting abilities in the second T20I against Bangladesh at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. In his second international match, Reddy displayed his aggressive strokeplay, smashing two consecutive mighty sixes off leg-spinner Rishad Hossain.

Reddy, known for his fearless batting style, entered the crease early after India lost two wickets for 25 runs. Initially, he took some time to settle down, scoring 13 runs off the first 13 balls with a lone boundary. However, he soon shifted gears, scoring 37 runs in the next 14 balls, including two fours and four sixes, racing away to his maiden fifty.

Reddy targeted Hossain in particular, spotting his deliveries early. In the 10th over, he unleashed two back-to-back meaty blows off the leg-spinner. The first six was a powerful loft over the bowler’s head, clearing the boundary with ease. The second was an equally impressive shot, as Reddy got down on one leg to hit it over deep mid-wicket, landing deep into the stands.

These clean and effortless strikes stunned Hossain and the crowd, who erupted in applause. Reddy’s ability to take on spin with confidence and authority added valuable runs to the total and shifted momentum in the team’s favor.

Reddy’s performance in the second T20I highlighted his potential as a future star for India. His aggressive strokeplay and ability to hit boundaries at will make him a valuable asset to the team. As he gains more experience at the international level, Reddy is expected to continue to make a significant impact on the game.

India Eye Series Victory in Second T20I Against Bangladesh

India Eye Series Victory in Second T20I Against Bangladesh

India Set to Face Bangladesh in Second T20I, Aiming to Seal Series Victory

New Delhi, India – The Indian cricket team, brimming with youthful energy, will take on Bangladesh in the second T20I of the three-match series on Wednesday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The hosts are brimming with confidence after their commanding seven-wicket victory in the opening match in Gwalior, where they bowled out Bangladesh for a paltry 127 before chasing down the target comfortably within 12 overs.

Given the all-round success of the squad, India is unlikely to tinker with their winning combination. The team, boasting several versatile players capable of contributing with both bat and ball, may stick to the same playing XI. This means that players like Harshit Rana, Jitesh Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Ravi Bishnoi may have to wait a little longer for their opportunity.

The team conducted an optional practice session one day ahead of the match, with key players such as Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, and Mayank Yadav taking the day off. This indicates the confidence in their current form and fitness. Captain Suryakumar Yadav led the practice session on Tuesday, indulging in intense batting in the nets.

Team India will aim to seal the series with another victory. With momentum on their side, India will look to put up another strong performance to take an unassailable 2-0 lead.

Probable India Playing XI:

* Abhishek Sharma
* Sanju Samson (w)
* Suryakumar Yadav (c)
* Nitish Reddy
* Hardik Pandya
* Riyan Parag
* Rinku Singh
* Washington Sundar
* Varun Chakravarthy
* Arshdeep Singh
* Mayank Yadav

Sanju Samson Aims for Permanent Spot in Indian T20I Team

Sanju Samson Aims for Permanent Spot in Indian T20I Team

By October 8, 2024 0

Sanju Samson, India’s enigmatic wicketkeeper-batter, is once again vying for a permanent berth in the national cricket team. Despite making his international debut in 2015, Samson has struggled to cement his place in the star-studded Indian lineup. However, with the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from T20I cricket, a new era has dawned for the Indian team, and Samson is determined to seize the opportunity.

In the recently concluded T20I series against Bangladesh, Samson was handed the opening role alongside Abhishek Sharma. While he displayed glimpses of his brilliance, scoring 29 runs off 19 balls in the first match, he failed to make a significant impact and was dismissed early.

Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra has emphasized the need for consistency from Samson in the upcoming matches. He warned that if Samson fails to perform, he could be dropped from the team. “He is good. He scored 29 runs. My only thing was that since he had reached here, he should go slightly further ahead. He should score a few more runs because, otherwise, they would drop him,” Chopra said.

Despite his early dismissal, Chopra praised Samson’s elegant shot-making. “You need to talk about Sanju Samson. Abhishek Sharma was playing amazingly well until he got run out, but how well did Sanju play? Gautam Gambhir said long back that if Sanju Samson doesn’t play for India, it’s India’s loss. He was made to open. The silken touch was seen. He wasn’t hitting the ball hard; it seemed like he didn’t want to hurt the ball, and he was hitting one four after another.”

Samson’s performance in the remaining matches of the series will be crucial for his future with the Indian T20I team. If he can maintain his consistency and make significant contributions, he could finally secure a permanent spot in the lineup.

Bangladesh's Contrasting Performances Baffle Former Pakistan Batsman

Bangladesh’s Contrasting Performances Baffle Former Pakistan Batsman

By October 7, 2024 0

Former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali expressed astonishment at the contrasting performances of the Bangladesh cricket team, which recently suffered a humiliating 2-0 Test series defeat against India after registering a historic Test series win in Pakistan.

Ali questioned the Bangladesh team’s lackluster display in the Test series against India, saying, “Is this the same Bangladesh team that whitewashed Pakistan (2-0)? You saw in the Test matches (against India). They lost the first one and then were defeated in virtually two days, even the rain could not save them.”

Ali attributed India’s dominance to their exceptional depth, highlighting the performance of the young Indian Premier League (IPL) stars led by Suryakumar Yadav. “India have changed cricket (with their dominance). Bangladesh is just an appetizer (for them),” he said.

The T20I retirement of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja has created opportunities for new players in the Indian team. Ali noted the absence of several key players from the playing XI in the match at Gwalior, including Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Axar Patel, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, and Ravi Bishnoi.

“Yeh IPL eleven hai, India ki team nahi hai,” said Ali, emphasizing the strength of the Indian team’s bench. “And still they hammered them in just 11-something overs, finishing with a six from (Hardik) Pandya.”

Ali praised the performances of debutants Mayank Yadav and Nitish Kumar Reddy, who made their first international appearances in the match. He particularly lauded Yadav’s impressive pace, saying, “There were two debuts, but it was a dream debut for Mayank Yadav. The first over was a maiden, including a 149.8 kmph delivery.”

Ali expressed hope that Yadav remains fit for India’s upcoming tour of Australia, saying, “I pray that this kid remains fit and goes on the Australia tour.”

After the T20I series against Bangladesh, India will face New Zealand in a three-Test series before traveling to Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy, which will be contested over five Test matches.

Hardik Pandya's No-Look Boundary Stuns Fans in India's T20I Win

Hardik Pandya’s No-Look Boundary Stuns Fans in India’s T20I Win

By October 7, 2024 0

Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya showcased his exceptional batting prowess in the first T20I against Bangladesh in Gwalior, leaving fans in awe with a stunning “no-look” boundary. Pandya’s unbeaten 39 off 16 deliveries propelled India to a comfortable seven-wicket victory, chasing down the target of 128 with ease.

Pandya’s destructive batting display was highlighted by three consecutive fours off Taskin Ahmed, including the remarkable no-look shot that sailed over the wicket-keeper’s head. The video of the shot has gone viral on social media, showcasing Pandya’s incredible skill and confidence.

Bangladesh’s innings began with early setbacks, as Arshdeep Singh dismissed both openers cheaply. Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz provided some resistance, but Varun Chakravarthy, Mayank Yadav, and Washington Sundar kept the Indian bowlers in control. Pandya also contributed with a wicket towards the end.

In response, India’s chase was anchored by Pandya’s blistering knock. Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav also made significant contributions, but it was Pandya’s unbeaten innings that sealed the victory for India.

Pandya’s performance has been widely praised, with fans and experts alike marveling at his ability to combine power and finesse. His no-look boundary has become an instant highlight, demonstrating his exceptional hand-eye coordination and quick reflexes.

The victory gives India a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series. The second match will be played in Rajkot on October 8, with Bangladesh looking to level the series and India aiming to extend their advantage.

Bangladesh's Batting Woes Cost Them in T20I Opener Against India

Bangladesh’s Batting Woes Cost Them in T20I Opener Against India

By October 7, 2024 0

Bangladesh’s T20I series opener against India on Sunday exposed their batting deficiencies, as they failed to provide their bowlers with a competitive total to defend. The visitors’ struggles with the bat were evident from the outset, as they managed a meager 39/2 after the powerplay.

Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto acknowledged the team’s shortcomings, particularly in the powerplay. “We didn’t start well. In T20, the first six overs are important, but we didn’t do well,” he said. “The plan was to play positive cricket, but we had to manage some overs and how we wanted to approach it. Looks like we didn’t have much plan.”

Bangladesh’s tepid batting performance was compounded by India’s aggressive approach with the ball. Arshdeep Singh’s early strikes put the visitors on the back foot, and the Indian bowlers maintained the pressure throughout the innings.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s late cameo of 35* runs provided some respite for Bangladesh, but it was not enough to propel them to a competitive total. India’s openers, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer, made light work of the chase, reaching the target with more than eight overs to spare.

Shanto emphasized the need for a more proactive approach in the second T20I. “We need to focus on rotating the strike. T20 is not only about hitting. If we keep wickets in hand, we can get a good score,” he said. “We didn’t score many runs. Rishad bowled well, and Fizz was also good, but we didn’t have enough runs.”

Bangladesh’s batting woes have been a recurring theme in recent times, and they will need to find a solution quickly if they want to compete against India in the remaining matches of the series.

India’s Predicted XI vs Bangladesh 1st T20I:

1. Abhishek Sharma
2. Sanju Samson (wk)
