Mitchell Marsh is set to compete with Travis Head and David Warner for a slot at the top of Australia's order at the World Cup after dominating with the bat in the Twenty20 series win over South Africa.
Indian cricket team pacer Jasprit Bumrah and wife Sanjana Ganesan have been blessed with a baby boy. Bumrah, who took a leave from his Asia Cup 2023 duties to be with his wife, announced the news of the birth of the baby boy on Instagram with an adorable post. "Our little family has grown & our hearts are fuller than we could ever imagine! This morning we welcomed our little boy, Angad Jasprit Bumrah into the world. We are over the moon and can't wait for everything this new chapter of our lives brings with it," Bumrah captioned the post on Instagram.
India's opening Asia Cup 2023 match against Pakistan was washed, but not before Rohit Sharma's batting unit had posted 266 runs on the board. Though a similar threat looms large on the Indian team against Nepal too, the skipper and the team management would be keen to test out the bowling unit, especially before the crucial Super 4 matches begin. However, India would be without the services of Jasprit Bumrah, who has flown back home over a personal matter. But, who replaces him in the Indian team for the Nepal clash on Monday?
Former India batter Wasim Jaffer dissected Virat Kohli's dismissal against Pakistan in their Asia Cup opener on Saturday in Kandy. Kohli played Shaheen Afridi's delivery onto his stumps and had to walk back to the dressing room for a score of 4 (7). Fans had a lot of expectation from Kohli after Rohit Sharma was dismissed earlier by the same bowler. However, the former India captain failed to live up to the expectations as Shaheen ran riot against India's top-order.
India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik feels pacers from Pakistan and India are on equal footing but Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah are more potent than the trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Shami on flat pitches because of the greater pace they generate. The three Pakistani quick bowlers grabbed all 10 Indian wickets in their Asia Cup match in Pallekele on Saturday, bundling them out for 266 in 48.5 overs.
Over the years, Gautam Gambhir has given some interesting statements about Team India's World Cup wins under the leadership of MS Dhoni. Especially when it comes to the 2011 ODI World Cup triumph, Gambhir has maintained that it's the team that won India the title and not certain individuals. The cricketer-turned-politician has also objected to hero-worshiping in Indian cricket. But, during the Asia Cup 2023 match between India and Pakistan, Gambhir made an interesting remark on another match between the two sides in 2010.
The Indian cricket team had to return with just one point in their kitty from the match against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023 on Saturday after rain played spoilsport at Pallekele. After posting a total of 266 runs on the board, the Indian team was eager to give their bowlers a run at the Pakistan team's batters but not a single ball could be possible. With their second match of the group stage against Nepal also scheduled at Pallekele on Monday, the rain threat is looming large on the match once again.
Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar feels that Rohit Sharma is unable to read or understand the bowling of star pacer Shaheen Afridi. The left-arm fast bowler cleaned up Rohit with a peach of a delivery during the India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2023 match on Saturday. It was a fuller delivery from Shaheen that swung into the India batter and went through the gate to rattle his stumps at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. Akhtar opined that Rohit is not at his best and he is worrying too much. The India captain fell for 11 runs off 22 balls.
