Indian Cricket Team Captain Hardik Pandya Said “Let Nicholas Pooran Hit Me”. West Indies Star Responds | Cricket News

[ad_1] Down 0-2 in the T20I series against West Indies, India started their comeback by beating the hosts in the 3rd T20I. The key to the Indian team's success was the fact that West Indies' hard-hitter Nicholas Pooran had failed to fire in the match. After the game, India skipper Hardik Pandya even issued a challenge to Pooran, saying he is hoping the Windies stalwart comes hard at him in the next game. Pooran has finally 'responded' to the challenge."Yeah, if Nicky wants to hit, let him hit me; that was the plan. I enjoy that kind of competition where I know I cannot err in line or length a lot as it gives the advantage to Nicky. In the fourth game, I hope he comes very hard at me and gives me a wicket as well," Hardik had said after the 3rd T20I.Pooran played pivotal role for West Ind...

“Play Rinku Singh Instead…”: India Star On Sanju Samson And Why Middle-order Is “Not The Right Place” For Him | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Sanju Samson.© TwitterSanju Samson failed to impress in the T20I series against West Indies. The batter returned scores of 12, 7, and 13 against the Caribbean side. In two matches, he batted at the number 5 position while in one game he came in at number 6 spot. Star Indian player Abhishek Nayar believes that the team mismanaged the wicketkeeper-batter by sending him in the lower-middle order. It is worth noting that Samson usually bats at number 3 or 4 position in Indian Premier League and domestic cricket."I believe if you want to utilize Sanju Samson more, bat him at No. 3 because that is his number. He is used to that and he is successful there, or else don't play him," said Nayar on JioCinema.Nayar added that if India have to send Samson at the lower middle-orde...
