"If You Lose Wickets In...": Hardik Pandya's Honest Confession After 1st T20I Defeat

The Indian cricket team started off the 5-match T20I series against West Indies on a losing note, suffering a 4-run defeat on Thursday. The thrilling encounter saw the Indian batting unit underperform, with no batter barring the debutant Tilak Varma managing to play with the sort of confidence that was expected from the Indian team. After the game, skipper Hardik Pandya admitted that the fact that the team kept losing wickets at regular intervals, without putting in decent partnerships, made things difficult for them.

Watch: 2 Wickets In 3 Balls! Yuzvendra Chahal Bamboozles West Indies Batters During 1st T20I

Yuzvendra Chahal left everyone impressed as the veteran spinner took two wickets in the first three balls of his spell during the first T20I encounter between India and West Indies on Thursday. He struck on the first ball of the fifth over as Kyle Mayers was completely fooled by his spinning delivery and the ball crashed into his pads. The umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger and even the batter decided to not go for a review. Two balls later, it was another LBW and this time, it was Brandon King who missed a straighter delivery and ended up gifting his wicket to Chahal.

"Even If He Scores 1000 Runs...": Ex-Pakistan Star's Interesting Take On Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan was the standout performer for the Indian cricket team in the recently-concluded ODI series against West Indies with 184 runs. He scored a half-century in all three matches of the series and his consistency earned him praise from experts and fans alike. However, when it comes to the ICC World Cup 2023, Kishan is likely to be used as a middle-order option if he makes the team as a replacement for Rishabh Pant. As a result, there is a chance that Kishan can have very less practice in that particular slot despite flourishing as an opener. Former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt was not impressed by the decision taken by the team management and said that Kishan needs assurances from the side.

Former India wicketkeeper-batter Saba Karim is might impressed with Sanju Samson. The 28-year-old got chances to feature in two of the three-match ODI series against West Indies and fared pretty decently. While Samson was dismissed for nine runs in the second ODI, he scored 51 runs off 41 balls in the third and final ODI that India went on to win by 200 runs. While praising his most recent ODI knock, Karim termed Samson a "gifted player". Samson's fifty was laced with two fours and four sixes.

South Zone Beat East Zone In Final, Win Deodhar Trophy Title For 9th Time

South Zone's juggernaut continued as they clinched the Deodhar Trophy title for the ninth time with a commanding 45-run win over East Zone in the final, here on Thursday. After opener Rohan Kunnummal smacked a sensational century -- a 75-ball 107 with four sixes and 11 fours -- to set the ball rolling for his side, there was no stopping the South Zone who piled up 328 for eight in the summit clash batting first. South Zone's impressive bowling line-up then made life miserable for the East Zone batters, whose top order crumbled to reach 75 for four after 16 overs and were left staring at a mountain to climb. It was not for the first time in the Deodhar Trophy that East Zone pinned all their hopes on the pair of Riyan Parag and Kumar Kushagra, who delivered yet again with a 105-run stand for the sixth wicket, but their effort was just not enough.
