Will Mohammed Shami Replace Jasprit Bumrah In T20 World Cup Squad? Rahul Dravid Answers | Cricket News

[ad_1] India's preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup received a major blow earlier this week as ace speedster Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury. The BCCI has not yet named a replacement and the fans are wondering who might replace the pacer. After the third T20I against South Africa, which Team India lost by 49 runs, head coach Rahul Dravid was asked whether Mohammed Shami would be replacing Bumrah for the marquee event in the Indian squad."In terms of who the replacement for Bumrah would be, we will have a look, we have time till October 15 so Shami is obviously someone who is in the standbys. But obviously, he could not play this series for us, which would have been ideal. But he is at the NCA at the moment, we have to get reports on how he is recover...

IND vs AUS, 3rd T20I: Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal’s Form In Focus Ahead Of Series Decider Against Australia | Cricket News

[ad_1] India will be hoping their key bowlers, Harshal Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal, are back to their best when the hosts take on Australia in the series-deciding third T20 International in Hyderabad on Sunday. India were able to plug the gaps in Nagpur to level the three-match series with a comprehensive win in the eight-over-a-side contest. But they will need their bowlers, especially Harshal and Chahal, to overcome their struggles ahead of the T20 World Cup. India had got off to an electric start in the last game with Axar Patel bowling a fiery two-over spell that included a couple of wickets but they are struggling at the back end of the innings.While Jasprit Bumrah is sure to carry the responsibility, senior seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar's poor show at the death overs is a real concern.

“Harshal Is A Worry If…”: Ex-India Cricketer Makes Big Prediction About Pacer | Cricket News

[ad_1] Team India had a night to forget on Tuesday when they suffered a four-wicket loss to Australia in the first T20I of the three-match series in Mohali. Despite putting up a huge target of 209, the Rohit Sharma-led side completely failed with the ball as the pacers, including Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, and Hardik Pandya, conceded 150 runs in 12 overs. Among all the pacers, Harshal, who was making a comeback in the team after being ruled out due to an injury, utterly disappointed the fans as he gave away 49 runs in his spell.However, former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar doubts if the bowler would be effective on the flat and bouncy pitches of Australia in the T20 World Cup that takes place in October-November."Harshal is someone we've seen for a number of years....

India vs Australia – “This Is Where MS Was So Good”: Ravi Shastri After Team India Fails To Spot Cameron Green’s LBW Opportunity | Cricket News

[ad_1] It was a forgettable day on the field for the Indian cricket team on Tuesday as they lost to Australia by four wickets. A tame Indian bowling attack gave a poor account of themselves as they failed to defend a 208-run total. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4-0-52-0), Harshal Patel (4-0-49-0), Yuzvendra chahal (3.2-0-42-1), Umesh Yadav (2-0-27-2), Hardik Pandya (2-0-22-0) all leaked runs. What was even more baffling was Team India's inability to spot a LBW opportunity during the first T20I of the three-match series.In the fifth over, Chahal's delivery struck Cameron Green on the pads. However, there was no appeal from the Indian players. Then in the sixth over replays showed that Green, who later went on to score 61 off 30 balls, was out LBW.Former Indian cricketers, who were doing commentary, ...

IND vs AUS -“Has Been A Very Good Finisher”: Matthew Hayden Defends India Pacer’s Death Bowling | Cricket News

[ad_1] Team India faced a terrible defeat against Australia in the first T20I of the three-match series in Mohali on Tuesday. Despite a great show with the bat by Hardik Pandya, who smashed 71* off 30 balls, Team India failed to defend a target of 209. Cameron Green (61) and Matthew Wade (45*) rose to the occasion and provided Australia with a four-wicket win. The pacer duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel leaked a total of 101 runs in their combined eight overs.Bhuvneshwar's bowling in the death overs especially has been a matter of concern for the past few matches now as he conceded a total of 16 runs in the 19th over on Tuesday. However, former Australia cricketer Matthew Hayden came in support of Bhuvneshwar and called him a "good finisher.""I disagree with that, I think he can...

“Where Is Brilliance?” Ravi Shastri Slams India’s Fielding In Loss To Australia In 1st T20I | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Ravi Shastri.© AFPIndia got off to a sloppy start in the T20I series against Australia as they failed to defend their total of 208 in the first match in Mohali on Tuesday. Apart from some pedestrian bowling, India were also found lacking in the field, with Axar Patel, KL Rahul and Harshal Patel all putting down chances that proved to be costly. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri, now back in the commentary box, was critical of India's efforts in the field, saying they were lacking "brilliance" in the absence of the injured Ravindra Jadeja."If you look at all the top Indian teams over the years, there is youth and experience. I find the youth missing here and that's why the (poor) fielding," Shastri said on air during Australia's chase while they were marching away ...

India vs Australia – “Death Bowling Exposed Again”: Stars Lash Out After Indian Bowlers’ Poor Show vs Australia | Cricket News

[ad_1] After India failed to defend a 208-run target in the first T20I against Australia, skipper Rohit Sharma did not mince his words in pinpointing the reason for the defeat. "I don't think we bowled well. 200 is a good score to defend, and we didn't take our chances in the field. It was a great effort from our batters, but bowlers were not quite there," he said after India four wicket loss. "There are things we need to look at, but it was a great game for us to understand what went wrong. We know this is a high-scoring ground. You can't relax even if you get 200. We took wickets to an extent, but they played really well. They played some extra-ordinary shots. If I was in that changing room, I would expect to chase that total. You can back yourself to defend 60 runs in the final 4 over...

“Bowlers Weren’t There”: Rohit Sharma’s Blunt Reply To Question On Mohali Loss | Cricket News

[ad_1] Disappointed Indian players shake hands with Australians after loss in Mohali T20I© AFPIndia lost the first T20I against Australia despite posting a mammoth total of 208 runs on the board and captain Rohit Sharma didn't mince any words when he was asked about the loss. Rohit put the blame squarely on India's pathetic bowling performance in the match. Experienced seam bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar conceded 52 runs in 4 overs, while Harshal Patel was taken for 49 runs in his full quota. Leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was hit for 42 in 3.2 overs and despite a heroic spell of 3/17 from Axar Patel, the Aussies beat India on canter eventually."I don't think we bowled well. 200 is a good score to defend, and we didn't take our chances in the field.

“Pehle Se Hi Tay Kar Diya?”: Sunil Gavaskar Angry With ‘Harshal Will Get Hit In Australia’ Comment | Cricket News

[ad_1] While the Indian cricket team squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup bears a tried and tested look, there were a couple of omissions which stuck out for some experts. Former Indian cricket team player and 1983 World Cup player Krishnamachari Srikkanth felt that Mohammed Shami should have been included in the main squad in place of Harshal Patel. "If I was the chairman of the selection committee, (Mohammad) Shami is definitely in the team. We are playing in Australia, the guy's got the real action, the guy's got bounce, he can bare the moment and he can get on early wickets, so I would have probably got Shami instead of Harshal Patel," Srikkanth said on Star Sports.While Harshal has emerged as a very good pace option in T20s, Shami finished as the sixth-highest wicket-taker with 20 scalp...
