“Reminds Me Very Much Of Virat Kohli”: Ex-Australia Star’s Interesting Take On Babar Azam | Cricket News

[ad_1] Virat Kohli (L) and Babar Azam.© AFPThe comparison between Indian cricket team star Virat Kohli and Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is quite common both among fans and experts. With the traditional rivals facing each other in Asia Cup 2023 in early September, the debates have become quite intense recently. However, former Australia cricketer Tom Moody had a completely different take on the debate and he came up with similarities between the two batters. During a recent interaction, Moody said that Babar actually reminds him a lot of Kohli considering how both players rely on proper cricket shots and have a deep understanding of the game.“I think absolutely he is. He does remind me very much of Virat Kohli, the way he goes about his business. He plays authentic cricket shots. He seems ...

“Hardik Pandya Is An Impact Player”: IPL Winning Coach Praises All-Rounder Ahead Of Asia Cup | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Australian cricketer Tom Moody said that flexibility is important in modern-day cricket and Team India may be required to throw someone like the all-rounder Hardik Pandya up the order. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday announced a strong 17-member squad for the upcoming Asia Cup which will begin on August 30 with Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul returning to the squad and Tilak Verma also getting a place in the team. Speaking exclusively to ESPNCricinfo, Moody spoke on Rohit Sharma's statement concerning flexibility in the line-up."Well, I think in this day and age, whether it be 50-over cricket or 20-over cricket, you need to have an open mind. You need to be flexible, and we talk a lot about match-ups. At times, we talk too much about match-...

Suryakumar Yadav “Lucky To Be In That Side”: IPL-Winning Coach’s Honest Take On India Star | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Australia all-rounder Tom Moody feels Suryakumar Yadav is "lucky" to have found a place in the Indian team for the upcoming Asia Cup. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced India's 17-member squad for the tournament on Monday, with the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal and Yashasvi Jaiswal narrowly missing out on selection. While analysing India's squad for the Asia Cup, Moody said that Suryakumar is yet to crack the code in One-Day Internationals, despite his riches in T20Is."The player that I think is lucky to be in that side is Suryakumar Yadav. I know that he's a player that we all love to watch, but he is yet to really master the 50-over game. I think he's played over 20 matches now and at a very modest return. He's a genius in T20 cricket. But the 50-over ...

He's got not only skill but an enormous temperament, an...

“Significant Footprint…”: IPL-Winning Coach’s Huge Praise For Yashasvi Jaiswal | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Australia cricketer Tom Moody has showered praise for India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal after the youngster made his Test debut in the ongoing first Test against West Indies on Wednesday. Jaiswal earned his maiden call-up last month for the two-match series after impressing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and domestic circuit.

Former cricketers Tom Moody and Sanjay Manjrekar were asked about their choices and they gave some interesting answers.“Shaheen Afridi, Babar Azam, Rizwan and Shadab Khan. They have got a number of terrific players, particularly in this format of the game. Shaheen would be your No.1 pick, he would be box office,” Former Sunrisers H...

[ad_1] Rinku smashed an unbeaten 67 off just 33 balls vs LSG, but KKR fell short by one run.© BCCI/IPLImpressed by his temprament during pressure situations, former Australia all-rounder Tom Moody said India should definitely look at Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh for the finisher's role going into the future. Despite KKR enduring a poor season, Rinku's form has been the biggest positive sign for the two-time champions. In 14 league matches, Rinku scored 474 runs at an average of 59.25. He has hit four half-ceturies, striking at 149.5. On Saturday, Rinku smashed an unbeaten 67 off just 33 balls, but KKR fell short by one run."We definitely know now that he's the finisher India should consider going forward into World Cups.

On Criticism Over Rohit Sharma’s Form, Ex-Australia Star’s ‘MS Dhoni’ Counter | Cricket News

[ad_1] Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a duck against Punjab Kings© BCCI/SportzpicsGiven the task of chasing down targets of over 200 runs in two consecutive matches, Mumbai Indians stepped up and delivered, creating a new 'record' in the T20 league. While Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, and Tim David have all returned to peak form, the same can't be said about MI skipper Rohit Sharma. The Hitman does find himself in the line of fire over repeated failures at the top of the batting order. But, former Australia star Tom Moody is seeing Rohit in more of an MS Dhoni-like role where the Hitman also acts as a mentor."It is a concern, but I suppose from Mumbai Indians' point of view of Ishan Kishan, that was another concern leading into this game (PBKS vs MI). Both openers have been short of ru...

This resulted in him, leaving the ground in the first innings and finally returning to bat at No 11 during the 19th over of LSG's chase. However, LSG had already lost their grip over the match by that time and Rahul could not make any difference as RCB defended a low total 126.After the match ended in RCB's favour, former Sunrisers Hyderabad coach Tom Moody did not mince his words and ...
