“There Is Instability”: Ex-India Star On Wicket-Keeping Conundrum In Tests | Cricket News

[ad_1] Parthiv Patel understands the need for KS Bharat to make a statement with the willow but the former India wicketkeeper wouldn't mind giving the Andhra glovesman one more match taking his impeccable glovework into account during the first two Tests against England.

Parthiv, who played 25 Tests for India, acknowledged that there is a bit of instability in the Indian Test set-up as far as wicket-keeping is concern...

3 Batters, Collective Experience Of 1 Test: What India’s Line-up May Look Like In 3rd Test vs England | Cricket News

[ad_1] An injury-hit India could well go into the third Test against England with two debutants in domestic run-machine Sarfaraz Khan and hard-hitting keeper-batter Dhruv Chand Jurel on a track that will be quite similar to the first two Test matches. Last match's centurion Shubman Gill however did not attend the optional training on Tuesday. It must be noted that Gill had hurt his right index finger while fielding in the second Test in Visakhapatnam. He didn't field during the England second innings and also said that the injury isn't too serious. With Shreyas Iyer being dropped and KL ...

‘Rishabh Pant Due To Come…’: Ex-India Star’s Stern Warning To Rohit Sharma And Rahul Dravid Over KS Bharat | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar has questioned wicketkeeper-batter KS Bharat's role in the Test team. Since making his Test debut last year against Australia in Nagpur, Bharat has scored just 221 runs in seven matches, averaging a meagre 20.09. He is yet to score a half-century in the longest format of the game. Manjrekar feels since Bharat is not contributing much with the bat, the management should look at other alternatives. Manjrekar doesn't feel the management should invest more time in Bharat, especially with Rishabh Pant waiting in the wings. "It's a lot like he's play...

“Disappointed Is A…”: India Coach Rahul Dravid’s Upfront Take On Star’s Below Par Show vs England | Cricket News

[ad_1] After a loss in the first Test against England, the Indian cricket team bounced back in style in the second Test by defeating the Ben Stokes-led side by 106 runs.

The performances of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jasprit Bumrah and Shubman Gill stood out as India levelled the five-match series 1-1. However, there were some causes of concern too. The batting performances of specialist batters Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer left a lot to be desired. The show put up by wick...

“Not That We Don’t Know How To Sweep But…”: India Star Clarifies Team’s Net Session Act | Cricket News

[ad_1] There is no panic in the injury-hit Indian camp, declared wicketkeeper K S Bharat on Thursday, asserting that the home side has made fresh plans to deal with England's attacking approach, including employing the sweep shot as and when required in the second Test here. Bharat, who will be playing in front of his home crowd, said the team has worked on its shortcomings in the series-opener in which England staged a sensational comeback to win the game by 28 runs. Led by Ollie Pope, England batters threw the Indian spinners off their plans with a barrage of sweeps and reverse sweeps. ...
