"India will probably rue their first innings. They got 436 but actually they could have got a lot more if not fo...

“Suryakumar Yadav Is A Freak…”: England Great Says He Doesn’t Know ‘What To Do” In ODIs | Cricket News

[ad_1] Suryakumar Yadav is a bit clueless in 50-overs cricket but the swashbuckling batter "is a freak" who is absolutely in command in the shortest format and will be the one to look out for at the T20 World Cup later this year, feels former England skipper Nasser Hussain. Since beginning his T20I journey for India in 2021, Suryakumar has quickly established himself as one of the best batters in the shortest format of the game, scoring four centuries and 17 fifties from 60 T20Is.His impressive run got him the No.1 spot in the ICC Rankings for T20I batters in 2022, which he has held on to since. However, the big-hitting batter has struggled to make a similar impact in ODIs."The person for the world to watch out for at the moment in T20 is Suryakumar Yadav," Hussain was quoted as saying b...

[ad_1] Former England captain Nasser Hussain picked an Indian superstar and former Pakistan skipper as the ones who will have a great 2024. In a video posted by the International Cricket Council (ICC), Nasser revealed his picks to be Virat Kohli and Babar Azam. "My first one is a megastar and there is no doubt about it. Virat Kohli.

That is a good sign for Virat, India and Virat fans. It means that he is in a good mental space and his game is in good orde...

In a video posted by the International Cricket Council (ICC), Hussain revealed his picks -- star India opener Shubman Gill and New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra. "I am going with Shubman Gill. I think he had a very good three quarters, nine-tenths of 2023. He must have learned so much from having the likes of Rohit Sharma on the other end. Maybe that illness towards the end just got him a little bit and his form dipped. He is a super talent and he is going to be the next sensation for India for years to come. Hopefully, he will have a good 2024," said Hussain.In 47 international games this year, Gill scored 2,126 runs at an average of 48.31, with seven ce...
