"India Played With 12 Players": England Great Cries Foul As Hosts Secure 4-1 Series Win

Team India wrapped up a brilliant T20I series victory against England with a gigantic 150-run win in the 5th and final match at Wankhede on Sunday. In the process, India managed to seal a 4-1 series win against Jos Buttler's men. However, former England captain Michael Vaughan doesn't agree with the 4-1 scoreline, saying it should've been 2-2 as India 'played 12 men' in the 4th T20I. The remark from Vaughan comes in the wake of the 'concussion substitute' controversy that saw Shivam Dube being replaced by Harshit Rana in the penultimate match of the series.

Harshit Rana Concussion Substitute Controversy: Experts Feel "India Were Hugely Advantaged..."

Harshit Rana had a fantastic T20I debut on Friday with the Indian cricket team pacer scalping three important wickets against England in the fourth T20I in Pune. However, Rana grabbed the spotlight after he came in as a 'like-for-like' concussion substitute for Shivam Dube. The latter, who scored 53, was hit on the helmet in the penultimate ball of the Indian innings by a Jamie Overton delivery. Following the mandatory concussion test, Dube was cleared to play. However, he was run out on the final delivery of the innings. Dube is a pace allrounder, while Rana has so far played the role of specialist fast bowler in the Indian cricket team.

Harshit Rana The Right 'Like-For-Like' Concussion Sub For Shivam Dube? Here's What ICC Rule Says

India registered a thrilling victory over England in the fourth T20I match on Friday in Pune. Asked to bat first, India struggle a bit but managed to post 181/9 in 20 overs with Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube hitting half-centuries. Later, England got a terrific start but eventually fumbled against India's bowling lineup and got bundled out for 166. With this 15-run victory, India gained an unassailable 3-1 lead over England in the five-match series. Despite this win, India also sparked a small controversy during the match.

As Michael Vaughan Trolls Harry Brook After Rajkot Failure, R Ashwin Enters Chat: "Foggy..."

England batter Harry Brook is yet to fire with the bat in the ongoing five-match T20I series against India, registering three low scores so far in as many innings. Much more than his performances, Brook has come under the scanner for blaming "smog" for his failure in the series-opener in Kolkata. Despite clear air during the games in Chennai and Rajkot, Brook has not able to create much of an impact. India mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy bamboozled him in Kolkata and Chennai, before Ravi Bishnoi, another wrist spinner, outfoxed him at Rajkot on Tuesday.

Rohit Sharma Faces 'PR Team' Jibe From Talk Show Panel Featuring Michael Vaughan, Adam Gilchrist

A talk show panel featuring former England captain Michael Vaughan and legendary Australia wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist took a brutal dig at Rohit Sharma over the India-Australia Test series. Rohit did not feature in the first Test and in the next three matches, he scored just 31 runs. The India captain was criticised by both fans as well as experts and he ended up dropping himself for the final Test match in Sydney. During the panel discussion, the members were asked to pick the best team of the summer and Ian Higgins of The Grade Cricketer said - "“Well, it has to be Rohit Sharma's PR team". The answer left everyone in splits with Vaughan even nodding in agreement with the statement.

Amid Retirement Claims, Virat Kohli Gets Bizarre "7/10" Border-Gavaskar Trophy Rating From England Great

With just 190 runs in nine innings under his belt, Virat Kohli had a forgetful tour of Australia, raising doubts over his future in the Indian team. Kohli's weakeness against deliveries outside the off-stump was brutally exposed by Australian quicks, especially Scott Boland, who dismissed him four out of five times in the series. Barring his century in the second innings of the Perth Test, Kohli had a series to forget against Australia. Calls have been made for the selection committee to drop the out-of-form Kohli.

Amid Criticism For Poor Form, Australia Great Gives Shubman Gill Extra Point For...

Former England captain Michael Vaughan expressed his frustration with the inconsistent batting form of Indian batter Shubman Gill while Australia's wicketkeeper-batting legend Adam Gilchrist had a witty remark for the stylish cricketer. Vaughan and Gilchrist were speaking on the Club Prairie Fire podcast hosted by them. They assessed performances during the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Gill had a poor series, scoring just 93 runs in five innings at an average of 18.60 with best score of 31. It was a huge downgrade from his Test debut in Australia in 2020-21 BGT, where he made 259 runs in three matches at an average of 51.80 with two fifties, with his iconic knock of 91 during the run chase of 328 at Brisbane being his best score.

Jasprit Bumrah "Would Have F****** Ripped On Don Bradman's...": India Star Receives Ultimate Praise From Greats

For long, Jasprit Bumrah has been one of the best performers in Indian cricket across formats and roles. At the recently concluded India vs Australia series Down Under, Bumrah was almost unplayable as he scalped 32 wickets across five Tests at an average 13.06. He strike-rate was an astounding 28.3. His wickets tally is the joint highest for an India pacer in a series in the longest format. It is also the highest for any India bowler in an away series.
