T20 World Cup: I already have my XI against Pakistan, says Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma said that the playing XI for the match has been decided and he doesn't believe in a last-minute decision as he wants them to prepare well. The India-Pakistan clash in the 2022 T20 World Cup is among the most awaited sporting events of the year. The two arch-rivals clashing against each other at a stadium as iconic as the Melbourne Cricket Ground(MCG) in the marquee event, it really does not get much better than this. Both India and Pakistan are part of Group 2 in the Super 12 stage alongside South Africa, and Bangladesh while two teams will join them from the qualifiers.

"He Will Control The Game": Suresh Raina Picks India's "Go-To Man" At T20 World Cup. It's Not Virat Kohli Or Rohit Sharma

The eyes of all cricket fans are focussed on just one direction right now - the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Most of the teams have already reached Down Under as the action begins on Sunday. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team is one of the heavyweights going into the tournament, however, it had to tackle few injury problems in the buildup to the marquee event. India will be without star allrounder Ravindra Jadeja and pacer Jasprit Bumrah - both of whom were injured. While all other top players are fit, Suresh Raina, member of India's 2011 50-over World Cup-winning team, gave his take on the player who will 'control the game' for the 'Men in Blue'.

'Tired' Australia favourites for T20 World Cup: Jos Buttler

Aaron Finch admitted his team was "tired" and needed to freshen up before their defence of the Twenty20 World Cup title, but England skipper Jos Buttler on Saturday said the hosts remain the favourites. The reigning champions head into the showpiece cricket tournament on home soil, which starts Sunday with the preliminary round after a lacklustre three-match series against the English. They lost 2-0, with the third game abandoned Friday evening due to rain, culminating eight matches for Australia in 26 days -- three of them in India. "I think the guys are probably a little bit tired at the moment," Finch said after the washed-out England match, where he fell for a first-ball duck. "The schedule has been so packed over the last six to eight weeks that we identified a couple of months ago that we wanted to make sure that we're in a position to be peaking at the right time of the World Cup and not beforehand. "So it's going to be important over the next couple of days to try and freshen everyone up as much as we can."

Indian Super League: Ten-man Chennaiyin FC hold Bengaluru

The match was an even affair, but Debjit’s red card after bringing down Roy Krishna outside the box could have turned the game decisively in BFC’s favour. Chennaiyin had exhausted their five substitutes and defender Vafa Hakhamaneshi had to do the goalkeeping duties for the last 10-odd minutes. It was nervous times for CFC but the defence held firm and did not allow Bengaluru strikers Krishna and Sunil Chhetri to take a crack at the goal.

FIFA Women's U-17 WC: India suffer 0-3 defeat to Morocco, out of reckoning for quarterfinal berth

Debutants Morocco scored through El Madani (50th minute), Yasmine Zouhir (61st) and Cherif Djennah (90+1) to script their maiden win in the tournament. India, who were also making their debut as automatic qualifiers as hosts, had lost to USA 0-8 in the opening match on Tuesday. They take on Brazil in their last group match on October 17, which will only be of academic interest. Morroco still remained in contention for a quarterfinal berth with three points after title contenders Brazil and USA played out a 1-1 draw in another Group A match here earlier in the day.

"Don't Think Rishabh Ka Jagah Ban Raha Hai But...": Suresh Raina On T20 World Cup Playing XI

With the T20 World Cup just days away, it's the final stage of preparation for all the teams. For India, it's is still not clear what their ideal playing XI should look like. The team is full of big names and some awesome hitters. However, with Ravindra Jadeja not part of the squad due to injury, there is a dearth of left-handers in the team. Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is one of the options but his form in T20s has not been great of late. However, member of 2011 World Cup-winning team Suresh Raina feels that a space needs to be created for him.
