“Like Getting Head Of The Snake…”: Sunil Gavaskar On Why Rohit Sharma’s Wicket Vital For Rivals | Cricket News

[ad_1] Rohit Sharma notched yet another bilateral series win as India captain as his side defeated Australia in a T20I game in Hyderabad on Sunday.   Chasing a target of 187, India reached the mark in 19.5 overs. Skipper Rohit scored 17 off 14 balls. His short innings included one six and two fours. He showed signs of being aggressive and got caught out after charging down the track against Pat Cummins in the fourth over. Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar said that with the batting depth, Rohit can take his chances."If you have a long batting line-up, that's the way you should be playing. Yes, we want to see him bat longer, we want to see him bat for 10-12 overs because then you are pretty certain. Because in those 10-12 overs, India is 120-odd with the way he bats. But b...

India vs Australia – “Where He Gets Into Trouble Is…”: Sunil Gavaskar On Rohit Sharma After Classy Knock in Nagpur T20I | Cricket News

[ad_1] Rohit Sharma played a knock of 46 not out against Australia© AFPRohit Sharma led India from the front with a 20-ball 46* against Australia in the second T20I in Nagpur on Friday. The innings, which included four sixes and four fours, helped India chase down a 91-run target in just 7.2 overs and level the three-match series 1-1. In a match that was reduced to eight-overs-a-side due to a wet outfield, Australia notched 90/5 batting first. But thanks to Rohit's brilliance, India had few problems in reaching the target. The knock impressed former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, but he also pointed out the areas where the India skipper should be mindful."What you saw with Rohit today was a measured approach. It wasn't anything where he was looking to defend, but he was being a lot more s...

“Existed For Few Years Now”: Sunil Gavaskar Highlights India’s “Problem” In T20Is | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Sunil Gavaskar© AFPTeam India did not get off to an ideal start in the ongoing three-match T20I series against Australia as the hosts failed to defend 208 runs in Mohali, and the bowlers were not able to put up a spirited fighting display. Only Axar Patel managed to take wickets along with being economical. In the first T20I, Jasprit Bumrah did not feature in the playing XI and it needs to be seen whether he comes back directly for the must-win second T20I.Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels that not being able to defend totals without Jasprit Bumrah has been India's problem for long period now, and the management needs to do some course correction."This is India's weakness. This isn't a new problem. It has existed for a few years now that when they are defendi...

IND vs AUS: Sunil Gavaskar Wants Team India Management To Answer This In Next Presser | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Sunil Gavaskar.© AFPWith Mohammed Shami testing positive for COVID-19 shortly before India's home T20I series against Australia, Umesh Yadav - who had last played a T20I in 2018 - was called up as a replacement. He was also directly fast-tracked to the playing XI with Jasprit Bumrah not risked in the opening match, ahead of Deepak Chahar, who was in the squad and is a standby player for the T20 World Cup that starts next month. Umesh picked up two wickets in his two overs, but was also rather expensive as India lost the series opener.Legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar said that the team management needs to be asked as to why Umesh was played ahead of Deepak Chahar, as the latter is part of India's World Cup plans and may be called up to the main squad if any of the othe...

Sunil Gavaskar Points Out “Real Area Of Concern” After India Fail To Defend 209 vs Australia | Cricket News

[ad_1] Despite putting up a big total of 208/6 in the first T20I in Mohali, India's bowlers were not able to defend the target as Australia romped home with four deliveries to spare. Australia needed 55 runs off the last four overs, but Matthew Wade and Tim David took on India's death bowlers with relative ease and made short work of what should have been a tight chase. Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar spoke about experienced pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar proving expensive yet again when he bowled the penultimate over of the match, and said that is an area of concern for the Rohit Sharma-led side."I don't think there was so much of a question of dew. We didn't really see the fielders or bowlers trying to use the towel to try and dry their fingers. So I don't think that's an excuse at all,"...

“Pehle Se Hi Tay Kar Diya?”: Sunil Gavaskar Angry With ‘Harshal Will Get Hit In Australia’ Comment | Cricket News

[ad_1] While the Indian cricket team squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup bears a tried and tested look, there were a couple of omissions which stuck out for some experts. Former Indian cricket team player and 1983 World Cup player Krishnamachari Srikkanth felt that Mohammed Shami should have been included in the main squad in place of Harshal Patel. "If I was the chairman of the selection committee, (Mohammad) Shami is definitely in the team. We are playing in Australia, the guy's got the real action, the guy's got bounce, he can bare the moment and he can get on early wickets, so I would have probably got Shami instead of Harshal Patel," Srikkanth said on Star Sports.While Harshal has emerged as a very good pace option in T20s, Shami finished as the sixth-highest wicket-taker with 20 scalp...

At No.5, Rishabh Pant, No.6 Hardik Pandya or the vice-versa and I'll play Dinesh Karthik at No.7. I would give with Hardik and four other options as bowlers.

“What Message Did He Want?” Sunil Gavaskar On Virat Kohli’s ‘Only Dhoni Texted’ Comment | Cricket News

The former Indian cricket team captain said except MS Dhoni nobody got in touch with him after he quit Test captaincy last year.

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...
