[ad_1] India's preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup received a major jolt as premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the tournament due to a back injury. Team India are yet to name a replacement for Bumrah and there are three names that are floating around -- Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Deepak Chahar. So it needs to be seen on who replaces Bumrah in the 15-member squad. It is important to mention that Shami and Chahar are part of standbys for the marquee event, set to be played in Australia.Ravindra Jadeja is also ruled out of the T20 World Cup as he underwent a knee surgery in September.Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri believes that Bumrah and Jadeja's injury is an opportunity for someone else to stand up and perform under severe pressure."It's unfortunate. ...

“Easy Game?” Ravi Shastri Asks Dinesh Karthik On Win vs Australia In 2nd T20I. His Reply Is Pure Gold | Cricket News

[ad_1] After suffering a defeat in the first T20I, India made a strong comeback to beat Australia in a rain-hit second T20I at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur on Friday. Chasing a target of 91 in eight overs, captain Rohit Sharma steered India closer to the target, remaining unbeaten on 46 off 20 balls. With nine runs needed off the final over, Dinesh Karthik hit a six and a boundary off consecutive deliveries to take India to a series-levelling win, ahead of the final game in Hyderabad on Sunday.Since making his comeback in the Indian side earlier this year, Karthik has been mainly given the role of a finisher and the veteran wicketkeeper-batter hasn't disappointed the management.In a post-match interview, Karthik had a funny response when former India head coach Shastri asked if it was an "e...

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, ...

“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 ...

“XYZ Can Say Whatever They Want…”: Ravi Shastri on “No. 1 Allrounder” Hardik Pandya | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Hardik Pandya© AFPThe Indian cricket squad for the T20 Word Cup has already been announced. Hardik Pandya holds a special place in the 15-member squad as he is the top all-rounder in the side. Pandya has shown maturity with the bat and has been bowling fast too. Former Indian cricket team head coach Ravi Shastri, in his own inimitable style, reiterated once again that Pandya is the no. 1 allrounder in the T20I format. "I have already tweeted and posted on Instagram that he is the No. 1 all-rounder in this format of the game. What else do you need? I had said it two weeks back. What else is there to add or subtract? XYZ can say whatever they want... everyone is entitled to his opinion. My view is clear, which is what I tweeted a couple of weeks ago," Shastri told Spor...

“For 7 Years…”: What Ravi Shastri Said About A Potential Return To Coaching | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Ravi Shastri from his time as India's head coach.© AFPFormer India all-rounder Ravi Shastri ended a rather successful coaching stint with the Indian men's cricket team last year after the 2021 T20 World Cup. Shastri, who built a good partnership with then captain Virat Kohli, oversaw two memorable Test series wins Down Under - the only two times  that India have won a series against Australia in Australia in the longest format. He also coached them to a 2-1 Test series lead in England, although the series ended in a draw after the 5th Test - rescheduled to be played after Shastri's tenure came to an end - saw England pull off a historic chase.All of this, of course, on top of several bilateral series wins in limited-overs cricket.Shastri has since returned to the com...

“Will Be Five Kilos Less”: On Virat Kohli’s Ton, Ex-India Coach Ravi Shastri’s Out Of The Box Take | Cricket News

[ad_1] For Virat Kohli, his ton against Afghanistan in an Asia Cup Super 4 match was relieving to say the least. After over 1000 days, Kohli scored a ton in international cricket. His 122* off 61 balls against Afghanistan was also the highest-ever individual score in T20I cricket by an Indian. With the T20 World Cup starting in less than two months' time, the timing could not have been better for Kohli to roar back to form. After the ton on Thursday, former India coach Ravi Shastri was asked about Kohli reaching the triple-figure mark after 1020 days, and he gave his insight on it."You mentioned 1020 days, I can say 700 days I was in that dressing room when that happened. It's a long time. The monkey is off his back now. When you had astounding success like he has, when 70 hundreds come ...
