“Hardik Pandya Is Injured. He Is Not Admitting It”: Ex-New Zealand Star’s Explosive Remark | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Hardik Pandya© BCCIFormer New Zealand fast bowler Simon Doull believes that Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya has suffered an injury but he is not admitting it. The comment came after Hardik opened the bowling for Mumbai Indians in the first two matches in IPL 2024 but refrained from bowling a single delivery in the next two encounters. During the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday, Hardik bowled a single over but did not come back after conceding 13 runs. Doull said that there is something wrong with Hardik and it is his 'gut feeling' that the all-rounder may be suffering from some injury.“You go out and make a statement by opening the bowling in game no. 1, and suddenly, you are not required. He's injured. I'm telling you there is som...

No Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya: Selectors Sent “Virat Kohli Should…” Advice For T20 World Cup 2024 | Cricket News

[ad_1] Virat Kohli in action for RCB during IPL 2024© AFPThe T20 World Cup 2024 is just round the corner and the Indian cricket team selectors have a keen eye on the ongoing IPL in order to identify the right players for the competition. While several players are almost confirmed to find a place in the squad, questions still remain on the middle order and certain players like Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Former New Zealand fast bowler Simon Doull believes that India should use Virat Kohli as an opener along with Rohit Sharma as this move will allow him to play more fast bowlers which can result in a great start for the team against tough opponents.“I think Virat should open...100 per cent. I don't think he should bat at number three, because if he does, then Rinku Singh will miss o...

Were CSK Players ‘Awkward’ After MS Dhoni’s Dropped Catch? England Legend Says… | Cricket News

[ad_1] MS Dhoni in action during IPL 2024© X (formerly Twitter)MS Dhoni is well known for his wicket-keeping skills and his catching has made him into a legend of the sport over the years. As a result, it came as a shock to both fans and experts when Dhoni made a mess of a fairly simple catch during Chennai Super Kings' IPL 2024 match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday. During the 18th over of the KKR innings, Andre Russell got a thick outside-edge on a delivery from Mustafizur Rahman and it looked like a fairly simple chance for Dhoni. However, he was slow in reacting to the catch and the ball hit the gloves and bounced out of them. The fans were left stunned while the commentator said: "Even sound effects could not produce so much silence."During the post-match analysis on Cricbuz...

“If Virat Kohli Is Made Aware Of What You Said…”: S Sreesanth Rips Into NZ Great | Cricket News

[ad_1] Just a few days to go before the ODI World Cup 2023 gets underway in India. Being the hosts, the Indian team is one of the top favourites to go the distance in the tournament. However, New Zealand great Simon Doull doesn't think the Indian team plays 'fearless cricket', which will be a hurdle for them in the showpiece event. However, S Sreesanth isn't in agreement with Doull, suggesting if Indian players, especially Virat Kohli, come to know of what he said, it would be fun to watch how the team plays against the Kiwis when they come across each other in the World Cup.New Zealand, who are yet to win the ODI World Cup, eliminated the Indian team in the 2019 edition of the tournament but went on to lose the final to England. Sreesanth, mocking the New Zealand team, said that their f...

[ad_1] Punjab Kings were torn apart by Lucknow Super Giants batters© BCCI/SportzpicsNo matter what is the reputation of the player, former New Zealand pacer Simon Doull doesn't belive in mincing his words when doing commentary. Having criticised top players like Babar Azam and Virat Kohli in the past, Doull took a swipe at South Africa and Punjab Kings pacer Kagiso Rabada during an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match on Friday. Doull, who was commentating during the match, slammed Rabada for his 'unacceptable behaviour' as the express pacer bowled a couple of no-balls by overstepping during the match against Lucknow Super Giants."This is unacceptable behaviour.

“They Have Not Been In That Situation…”: Virat Kohli Shuts Down Strike Rate Critics In Style | Cricket News

[ad_1] Virat Kohli has given a fitting reply to the critics.© AFPA few days after former New Zealand pacer Simon Doull had questioned his scoring pace, India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star batter Virat Kohli has given a fitting reply to the critics. During RCB's game against the Lucknow Super Giants earlier this week, Kohli scored a half-century, after scoring at will during the powerplay. However, his strike-rate dropped massively after the field restrictions were removed. Doull, who was on commentary duty, suggested that Kohli was concerned about his milestone."Kohli started off like a train. He was going hammer and tongs as he was playing a lot of shots. From 42 to 50, he took 10 balls. Concerned about a milestone. I don't think there's room for that in this game anymore. ...
