“Champions Trophy Not A Real Trophy”: England Great On MS Dhoni’s Last ICC Title | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of MS Dhoni with the ICC Champions Trophy 2013© X (Twitter)It was in 2013 that the Indian cricket team had last won an ICC title - the Champions Trophy - and has since gone empty-handed at the grand stage in international cricket. The likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have tried to lead the team to ICC titles but it remains MS Dhoni who holds the honour of helping India lift their last trophy on the grand stage. But, according to former England captain Michael Vaughan, the ICC Champions Trophy isn't even a 'real trophy'."India should win a lot more trophies. 2013 was the last trophy India won, right? ICC Champions Trophy? That's not a trophy really. There is the World Cup and the World Test Championship now, India lost both the finals there. There is so much talent ...

“Whenever MI Lost, Hardik Pandya Had A Big Role To Play”: Irfan Pathan’s Strong Charge | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former allrounder Irfan Pathan on Monday questioned Hardik Pandya's leadership skills, saying his inability to adapt to match situations and failure to come up with a proper plan has cost Mumbai Indians dearly so far in this IPL. Hardik, who replaced Rohit Sharma as captain of MI this season, has received a lot of flak from fans and former players alike following the five-time champions' dismal run so far."Hardik needs to manage MI really well. Whenever MI lost, Pandya had a big role to play," Pathan said on Star Sports Pressroom."Even yesterday, Akash Madhwal didn't bowl the last over, you need to give responsibility to him. When Shreyas Gopal got the wicket of Rachin Ravindra, why didn't you give him another over? He only bowled one over... there was some slowness in the pitch a...

“Virat Kohli’s Strike-Rate 138, Rohit Sharma’s 139”: T20 WC Winner Blasts Those Targetting RCB Star Alone | Cricket News

[ad_1] Virat Kohli has been one of the few positives in an otherwise blow hot, blow cold campaign of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2024. The former Indian cricket team captain has already scored a ton and two half-centuries in six matches to lead the run-scoring charts. However, that hasn't meant that Virat Kohli has gone about without getting criticised. He has a strike-rate of 141.77 and often plays the 'anchor' role for RCB.Many feel that the 'anchor' role is no longer suited for modern-day T20. With the T20 World Cup squad to be announced soon, there is much intrigue about what Kohli's role is exactly going to be.Former Indian cricket team all-rounder Irfan Pathan, who was part of the 2007 T20 World Cup-winning side, lashed out on those singling out Kohli's strike-rate.

“What Have They Identified?”: CSK Coach Stephen Fleming’s Blunt T20 World Cup Message To BCCI | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former New Zealand captain and five-time IPL-winning coach Stephen Fleming believes that India should decide on their style of play for the upcoming T20 World Cup and pick the in-form players accordingly. India will head into this year's T20 global showpiece in the Caribbean and the USA to make yet another bid to end their wait for an ICC trophy, which extended further after they lost to Australia in the final of the 50-overs World Cup last year.It has been more than 10 years since India last won a global competition, which has, in a way kept ageing stars like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the mix despite growing calls for the T20I side to be blooded with young talent.“The thing for me is, what type of game plan do they want to play during the World Cup?

On Hardik Pandya’s T20 World Cup Selection, Harsha Bhogle’s Damning Verdict | Cricket News

[ad_1] Hardik Pandya in Mumbai Indians training kit© BCCI/SportzpicsHardik Pandya, the all-rounder, remains a pillar in the Indian team, especially in white-ball cricket. But, what if Hardik is only playing as a batter? Does he make the T20 World Cup 2024 squad in that case? Over the last three matches for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Hardik has only bowled a solitary over. Against Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals, the Mumbai Indians skipper chose not to bowl at all and went for 13 runs in one over that he bowled against RCB. (IPL 2024 Points Table)The situation does leave a question mark on the faces of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selectors.
