Hardik Pandya-led India will look to complete a 2-0 sweep over Ireland when the two teams meet in the 2nd T20I on Tuesday at Malahide in Dublin. All eyes will be on the weather yet again as players would want to have a full 20-overs-a-side match. Persistent showers had ensured that the first match of the series at the same venue was restricted to a 12-overs-a-side contest.
Dinesh Karthik has been the toast of Indian cricket fans and former players, ever since making a grand comeback in the Indian cricket team post his heroics for RCB in IPL 2022. Karthik is being talked about as a potential match winner for India in the upcoming T20 World Cup and the veteran wicket-keeper batter has only helped his case for selection for the big event by producing attacking knocks as a finisher.
Minutes after Madhya Pradesh won the Ranji Trophy, a tweet by India cricketer Dinesh Karthik went viral. It was a simple congratulatory message but the last line was telling, where he termed Chandrakant Pandit as 'Sir Alex Ferguson of Indian domestic cricket'. Ferguson was arguably one of the greatest managers in the history of club football. Someone, whose tactical nous made Manchester United a global brand in the satellite television era. Karthik was trying to create an analogy with Pandit's 'Midas Touch', which transformed a middle-rung domestic team like MP into national champions.
India on Sunday defeated Ireland by seven wickets to lead the two-match T20I series 1-0. The match in Dublin saw Indian batters being right on the money but it was certainly the bowling department of the visitors that failed to meet expectations. Ireland scored 108/4 against India in the rain-curtailed match that was reduced to 12 overs a side. Though India eventually won the game riding on a good batting performance, stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya will be looking for a better showing from his bowlers in the second T20I to be played on Tuesday.
Madhya Pradesh to their maiden title. Having lost the trophy as captain of Madhya Pradesh in 1998-99, Pandit enjoyed sweet redemption when his wards emerged victorious over 41-time champions Mumbai at the Chinnaswami Stadium.
Madhya Pradesh scripted history on Sunday as they registered their first-ever Ranji Trophy title win. The Aditya Shrivastava-led side triumphed over domestic heavyweights Mumbai in the summit clash by six wickets. Chasing 108, Madhya Pradesh took just 29.5 overs to get over the line and in the end, Rajat Patidar remained unbeaten on 30 as he hit the winning runs for his side. As Patidar hit the winning shot, the entire crowd erupted with RCB, RCB chants as the batter plays for the Bengaluru-based franchise in the IPL.
