“Has Rohit Sharma-Like Abilities”: Gautam Gambhir Backs This Off-Colour India Star | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Gautam Gambhir© InstagramThe Indian cricket team is going through a great run in the Asia Cup as it became the first side to enter the Super-4 stage. With wins over Pakistan and Hong Kong, the Rohit Sharma-led side looks a confident lot. Performances from players like Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar are great positives for Team India ahead of the T20 World Cup. However, one player who has failed to fire as expected is KL Rahul. He was out for a duck in the match against Pakistan, while against Hong Kong, Rahul scored 36 off 39 balls. His slow knock came under a lot of focus, however, he has found backing from former Indian cricket team batter Gautam Gambhir."When he hit a six of that medium pacer (Haroon Arshad), the next ball was also...

“Looked Weak, Afraid, Confused”: Ex-Pakistan Captain’s Strong Observation On Rohit Sharma In Asia Cup | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Rohit Sharma© AFPIn the two matches of the Asia Cup 2022 so far, Rohit Sharma has not been able to strike his old form. He scored 12 off 18 balls against Pakistan and then hit 21 off 13 balls against Hong Kong. Rohit is not just the skipper of the side but is also the team's No. 1 opener. However, he did not have a good IPL and his recent T20I form has not been too great. If the trend continues, it is bound to add pressure on the team. In this regard, former Pakistan cricket team captain Mohammad Hafeez made some strong observations regarding Rohit's captaincy after India's 40-run win over Hong Kong on Wednesday.In a discussion on PTV Sports, Hafeez first asked to play a video clip of Rohit leaving the field post the win over Hong Kong, and then said this: "You see R...

India vs Hong Kong: “The Kind Of Innings He Played, Words Will Be Short,” Says Rohit Sharma On Suryakumar Yadav | Cricket News

[ad_1] India skipper Rohit Sharma said he was lost for words that would appropriately describe Suryakumar Yadav's 26-ball 68 against Hong Kong in the Asia Cup here on Wednesday. Suryakumar smashed six sixes and as many fours in his sizzling knock to lift India to 192 for two, enough to secure a 40-run win and a place in the Super 4 stage of the tournament. "The kind of innings he played today, the words will be short," Rohit said at the post-match presentation."We have seen that with him every now and then. He comes up with suck kinds of knocks. He just comes out and bats fearlessly which is what the team expects from him."Some of the shots he played today, those are not written anywhere in the book. It was very pleasing to watch. Shot selection was also crucial. We know he can play all ...

Against Hong Kong, however, Rishabh Pant made a comeback into the side while Hardik was rested.After Hong Kong captain Nizakat Khan won the toss and chose to field, Rohit gave an update on the playing XI and his take on the match."We would've bowled first as well," Rohit said.

[ad_1] After edging past Pakistan by five wickets on Sunday, India play their second match of the ongoing Asia Cup against Hong Kong on Wednesday. The Indian team management will continue to deal with the selection dilemma as it was forced to make some in-form players warm the benches during the match against Pakistan and not all the picks in the playing XI reaped expected performances. India's top two made a paltry contibution as Rohit Sharma scored 12 runs off 18 balls and KL Rahul got out for a first-ball duck.In the high-octane clash against Pakistan, India gave a nod to Dinesh Karthik ahead of regular wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant. Will the team management give Pant a chance in the second game? In case, the southpaw makes it to the squad, who will make place for him? Will it be K...

IND vs PAK – “Got Out To Forgettable Shots”: Sunil Gavaskar On Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharmas Performance vs Pakistan | Cricket News

[ad_1] While India registered a memorable five-wicket win against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday, there were a few headaches for the side too which they would want to sort out going forward. Going into the humdinger, the focus was on India's top three and all three -- K L Rahul (0), Rohit Sharma (12 off 18) and Virat Kohli (35 off 34) -- did not have the best of times in the middle. Though Kohli showed signs of returning to form, he rode his luck on occasions. Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar felt that the players need to score big."Rahul played just one ball, so you can't judge anything from that. Rohit and Kohli had the opportunity to bat for some time, they got runs. All these earlier times when people were talking about Kohli's form, I kept on saying that he...
