Suryakumar Yadav's incredibly strong and powerful batting has made him one of the most feared T20 batters at the moment, and South African all-rounder Wayne Parnell says the bowlers will have to stay strong and focussed while tackling him. Surya slammed a 33-ball 50 in India's eight-wicket win over South Africa on a tricky track in the series-opener. "Personally, from what I've watched in the last couple of months, I think he's probably the best T20 batters at the moment. He scores 360-degree, which is very difficult for bowlers to defend," Parnell said on the eve of the second and penultimate T20I of the series. "It's about being strong and focussed on each ball. He's allowed to play good shots, but the other day he was lucky as well. He's certainly a guy whom I enjoyed watching the last couple of months. He's certainly playing good cricket," Parnell said. Parnell insisted that their flop show in the first T20I was an aberration and there's no need to panic before the T20 World Cup in Australia.
Ravi Bishnoi might have been pushed to the reserves list in India's squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup but the young leg-spinner has no regrets about missing out on the 15-member squad for the marquee event. Bishnoi, who was part of the team for the Asia Cup, played just one game during the tournament, which came against Pakistan in the Super 4 clash. He picked one wicket and conceded just 26 runs from his quota of four overs. Prior to that, the youngster impressed during the white-ball tours of Ireland, England and West Indies, scalping 11 wickets in five matches.

Chennai Super Kings at the Chepauk "where it all started" for him as the IPL goes back to its traditional home-and-away format from the next season. The IPL has been held at only a few venues since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 but with the pandemic under control, the cash-rich league will return to its old format in which each team plays one home and one away match against all teams. Gaikwad was with the India A side for the unofficial ODIs against New Zealand A in the city, played a few days back.
From the tranquility of Thiruvananthapuram, the Team India atmosphere, suddenly, wears a chaotic look -- much like the traffic of Guwahati, thrown out of gear in the midst of Durga Puja rush and construction of flyovers. Bumrah was expected to play a key role in Indian team's campaign in the Australian conditions but his "back stress fracture" has ruled him out of the ICC flagship event, starting in three weeks' time. The ongoing series was originally planned as the final tune-up for Rahul Dravid's team but Bumrah's absence from the remaining two T20Is has now thrown more questions than answers. Umesh Yadav and Mohammad Siraj have been added to the squad as injury replacements but they do not figure in the World Cup-bound squad, as of now.
Jacques Kallis is viewed as one of the best all-rounders to play the game of cricket. Over his 18-year long career, Kallis went on score 25,534 runs across all formats of the game and he also registered 55 scalps with the ball in hand. So, it is only fair to ask him on who he sees as the better all-rounder between Hardik Pandya and Ben Stokes. In an interview with NDTV on the sidelines of Legends League Cricket, Kallis spoke about being an all-rounder and the chances of India and South Africa at the upcoming T20 World Cup.
