KANPUR, India :India produced their own version of 'Bazball' to squeeze out a remarkable seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh from a seemingly dead test match en route to a 2-0 series sweep on Tuesday.
England's aggressive approach will help when they face spin-friendly conditions in Pakistan during their test series in October, the country's former bowler Stuart Broad has said.
After India's emphatic seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, senior pacer Jasprit Bumrah expressed his satisfaction at the emergence of Bengal pacer Akash Deep in the Test arena. The Kanpur Test marked another milestone for the 27-year-old Akash, who picked up three crucial wickets, reinforcing his reputation as a reliable bowler. Bumrah, speaking to the broadcaster after the win, praised Akash's fighting spirit and hunger to improve, acknowledging the progress he's made since his debut earlier in 2024.
Following the win over Bangladesh at Kanpur, Indian opener, Yashavi Jaiswal opened up about what was going on in his mind while batting on the fourth day of the Test match at the Green Park. Jaiswal's exceptional fifty in the second innings guided the hosts to a comfortable victory by seven wickets over Bangladesh on Tuesday. Jaiswal won the man of the match award for his contribution with the bat in both innings. He scored 72 in the first and 51 runs in the second innings.
Indian cricket's next generation of batting talent is quietly making waves, and star off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has high hopes for two of the country's brightest young stars — Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Both players impressed during India's recent 2-0 Test sweep against Bangladesh, with Jaiswal finishing as the top run-scorer of the series, accumulating 189 runs at an average of 47.25, while Gill closely followed with 164 runs at an impressive average of 54.66, including a century in the first Test.
The time for talking is nearly over, and the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 is almost upon us. The world's 150 most exciting players have gathered in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the ninth edition of a tournament that continues to grow in reach and impact. The ten teams will play 23 matches to decide which team will be crowned world champions, with Bangladesh and debutants Scotland contesting the opening game on 3 October. The players will do battle across two of the world's leading cricket venues: Sharjah Cricket Stadium and Dubai International Stadium, which will test the array of talent in contrasting and intriguing ways. "The two venues can be quite different.They are relatively similar, but there are some subtle differences. It will be a case of who assesses the conditions quickest and adapts the best," shares England all-rounder Freya Kemp as quoted by the ICC media release.
Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli gifted a signed bat to Shakib Al Hasan at the end of the second Test match against Bangladesh in Kanpur on Tuesday. It was the final Test match for Shakib in India as he announced his retirement ahead of the encounter. This can also be his final match in the format as doubts remain over whether he will be able to take part in the Test match against South Africa at home due to political tensions. Kohli greeted Shakib after India registered a big win over Bangladesh and gifted him the bat before chatting with him and some other Bangladesh cricket team stars.
India's veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin produced an exemplary all-round show as the team secured a 2-0 series triumph against Bangladesh. After winning the first match by 280 runs, India defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets in the second Test despite two and a half days of the Kanpur contest being washed out due to rain. Ashwin remained key to India's success against Bangla Tigers, both with the bat and the ball. He was, hence, named the Player of the Series. With the POTS honour, Ashwin went on to match a world record, held by Sri Lanka great Muttiah Muralitharan in Test cricket.
