“Will Bring Back Interest In ODIs”: Ex-India Star’s Massive Take On Hardik Pandya’s Captaincy | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Hardik Pandya.© BCCIWith the advent of T20 cricket, longer-format games have been fighting hard for their survival. While the Test cricket has seen a revival of late, it is the ODI format that finds itself in danger. Amid the ongoing discussions about the future of the 50-over format, former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja feels that aggresive style of captaincy that Hardik Pandya does would bring the interest of the fans back in the format. Notably, Hardik led India for time in an ODI during a match against Australia in Mumbai on Friday. The hosts won the game by 5 wickets."Whenever you watch Hardik Pandya play, he plays in a different way. Not just playing, watch him walking in the afternoon, he has a different vibe.

“My Mindset Was To…”: Mohammed Shami On Bowling Strategy In 1st ODI vs Australia | Cricket News

[ad_1] The moment Mohammad Shami bowled the first ball of his second spell, it felt as if everything has fallen in place. KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja's star turn with the bat might have got India a five-wicket against Australia in the first ODI but the credit for restricting visitors to a gettable total goes to Shami. "It felt alright right from the first ball of the second spell. The ball was coming off nicely from the point of release," Shami told the mediapersons after the match. "We talk about the seam position or off the deck, but the focus was to keep the ball in good areas because they were playing on the back-foot. My mindset was to pitch the ball a little further with a slip in place, as I had done in the first spell," he explained.Shami said it was pleasing to see Rahul playin...

[ad_1] Virat Kohli runs from off-side to leg side of ground in a flash during the first ODI vs Australia.© TwitterFitness is much more than just a word for star India player Virat Kohli. A Delhi-born boy, fond of chole bhature, not only sacrificed his love for the food to be superfit, but also took his training to the next level to set a benchmark for fitness. All those efforts seem to have paid off when the batter runs across the pitch to easily convert a single into a double, and at times, the twos into threes. A similar kind of agility is seen when Kohli is fielding on the ground.While his love and enthusiasm for the game of cricket keeps him going, Kohli maintains his amazing fitness to make sure his body and mind coordinate with each other properly.A moment of Kohli's brilliance was...
