Yash Dayal's Redemption: From Schoolkids' 'Rinku Singh' Taunts To India Call-Up

For nearly one year, Chanderpal Dayal would avoid venturing out of his residence near Allahabad's Karbala Masjid in the afternoon. The reason was both weird and hurtful. There would be school buses that would pass through his locality and children peeking out of the window would start hooting "Riinnnkuuuu Siiiinghhhhh, Riiiinnnkuuuuu Siiiinghhhh, five sixes, five sixes,", a stern reminder of his son Yash's ordeal during that fateful evening in Ahmedabdad when his Uttar Pradesh's statemate got instant stardom and subsequently a national call-up hitting him for five sixes in a final over of an IPL game between Gujarat Titans and KKR.

"Will Never Learn Anything If...": Akash Deep's Big Remark Ahead Of Bangladesh Tests

A nine-wicket match haul usually leaves a bowler on cloud nine, but for India pacer Akash Deep it's a mere reminder of the areas he needs to improve upon ahead of a hectic season. Akash, who was included in India's squad for the 1st Test against Bangladesh, produced a wonderful effort for India A against India B in the just-concluded Duleep Trophy first round match, returning with figures of 4 for 60 and 5 for 56. “If you get satisfied as a cricketer, you will never learn anything. As long as I have the hunger for learning, I can never be satisfied,” Akash told reporters after the match on Sunday.

Captain Babar Azam To Be Sacked Again? Gary Kirsten, Jason Gillespie Convey Verdict To PCB

Pakistan's white and red ball head coaches Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie have advised the country's cricket board against changing the captains in haste after recent shoddy performances across formats. Babar Azam was sacked from white ball captaincy after 2023 ODI World Cup round robin exit in India and his replacement Shaheen Shah Afridi was removed after one bad series. Similarly in Tests, after Babar resigned, Shan Masood was named captain but after 0-2 Test series defeat to Bangladesh, there are calls for his immediate ouster.

India Test Squad vs Bangladesh: BCCI's Vice-Captaincy Decision Baffles Everyone

Amid the chatter around Jasprit Bumrah being potentially rested for the 2-match Test series against Bangladesh, the marquee pacer surprisingly found a place in the squad for the first Test. Wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant also marked his return to the Test side after nearly 20 months out as India announced their 16-man squad for the series opener on Sunday. While some big names returned to the squad, some prominent names missed out too. However, another decision from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee that raised eyebrows was the absence of a designated vice-captain.

India Test Squad vs Bangladesh: Full List Of Ins And Outs From Last Series

India's Test squad for the first Test against Bangladesh has seen plenty of Ins and Outs from the previous series against England. While Mohammed Shami couldn't prove his fitness to mark his return, marquee pacer Jasprit Bumrah did make it to the 16-member squad despite suggestions that he could be in for a longer break. However, the team did witness plenty of changes in comparison to the squad that was picked for India's previous Test assignment against England at home, which the hosts won 4-1.

India Squad For 1st Test vs Bangladesh: Rishabh Pant Returns; Two Young Pacers Included

Wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant made his return as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squad for the first Test match against Bangladesh starting September 19. He will be making his return to Test cricket for India after nearly 20 months following the injuries suffered in a car accident. Rohit Sharma will be the captain while Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah were both included in the squad. Akash Deep was named in the squad while young pacer Yash Dayal earned a maiden call-up.

Not Rohit Sharma Or Shubman Gill: This India Star Predicted To Make "Big Centuries" In Bangladesh Tests

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has predicted that stalwart batter Virat Kohli will score some "big centuries" in India's upcoming Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand. Virat will return to Test format for the first time since featuring for India during the South Africa tour in January this year. He missed out on India's home Test series against England due to the birth of his son Akaay. Since then, he has gone through an underwhelming T20 World Cup and Sri Lanka tour and will be keen to return to find his rich vein of form. Basit believes fans will witness Virat hitting the three-digit mark against Bangladesh and New Zealand.

Sarfaraz Khan To Lose Spot As Star Batter Returns vs Bangladesh? Report Makes Big Claim

Sarfaraz Khan's fearless approach in the home series against England impressed one and all but KL Rahul's experience will give him the advantage when it comes to finalising the playing XI in India's season-opening Test series against Bangladesh starting September 19 in Chennai. It is believed that the team management and the selection committee's full focus is on the tour of Australia in November-December and Rahul's experience of 50 Tests puts him in an advantageous position. For the team management, it is a choice between a younger man's (Sarfaraz) flamboyance and fearlessness and a seasoned campaigner who has been a Test captain and is part of the national set-up for a decade now. "For people on the outside, they don't understand how a team works and what are the systems in place. In his last three Test matches, KL scored a century in South Africa, one of the best Test knocks in recent times and 86 at Hyderabad in the last Test he played before injury.
