Australian fast bowler Scott Boland said he turned down the opportunity to play county cricket in England so that he would be fresh heading into the World Test Championship (WTC) final and the Ashes.
NEW DELHI : England could not make the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) but their 'Bazball' approach is something batting great Ricky Ponting longs to see when India and Australia clash in the one-off contest at the Oval next month.
Australia opener Usman Khawaja believes England's pitches are the ultimate Test for top-three batters and the only way to train for the conditions there is to work really hard and have very low expectations. Khawaja has struggled in English conditions, averaging just 19.66 from six Tests, which is a below-average showing from him given that he has scored an amazing 1,608 runs at 69.91 in 16 Tests since he was recalled to the Test side in January last year. The 36-year-old is expected to be in the thick of things during the World Test Championship final against India and the subsequent five-Test Ashes series in England.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan said he would've picked Yashasvi Jaiswal as injured KL Rahul's replacement in the Indian team for the World Test Championship (WTC) final. Vaughan's comments came after Jaiswal smashed the fastest half-century in Indian Premier League (IPL) history, in just 13 balls, during Rajasthan Royals' match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday. Jaiswal missed out on his hundred by just two runs as he remained unbeaten on 98 off just 47 deliveries. Taking to Twitter, Vaughan said that the 21-year-old Jaiswal will become a superstar.
It was the Yashasvi Jaiswal show at the Eden Gardens on Thursday as the Rajasthan Royals opener slammed the fastest fifty in Indian Premier League (IPL) history to guide his team to victory over Kolkata Knight Riders. Jaiswal finished at 98 off just 57 deliveries with the help of 13 boundaries and 5 massive sixes. It was a special innings from the left-handed batter who earned praises from both fans and experts alike. The 2022 season has been special for Jaiswal who has already scored a century in the tournament and is currently just one run behind Faf du Plessis in the race for the Orange Cap.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed the fastest half-century in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) during the game against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Thursday. With RR chasing a target of 150, Jaiswal breached the 50-run mark in 13 deliveries, breaking the record which has held jointly by Pat Cummins and KL Rahul (14 balls). Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh was impressed with Jaiswal's counter-attacking knocking, and said that he would pick the youngster straightaway in the Indian team for the ODI World Cup.
After Rajasthan Royals' comprehensive 9-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders, opening batter Jos Buttler was found guilty of breaching the IPL Code of Conduct. Buttler, hence was fined 10 Percent of his match-fee, a statement from the Indian Premier League confirmed. It isn't fully clear as to what act from Buttler earned him the penalty but the decision is likely to have come in the wake of the English opener's reaction to his run-out early in the game.
Shimron Hetmyer stunned the crowd at Eden Gardens as he pulled off an absolute blinder to dismiss Jason Roy during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday. Roy looked in excellent touch and he connected perfectly with a delivery from Trent Boult which flew towards the fine-leg boundary. It looked like a guaranteed six but Hetmyer covered an impressive amount of ground and was able to complete the catch without touching the boundary line. The catch earned him a lot of praise from both experts and fans alike.
