West Indies when they clash in the second T20 International here on Monday. The visitors are coming off a comprehensive victory in the opener of the five-match series. What separated the two teams in the first match was not only its all-round performance but also smart captaincy by Rohit who fielded his three spinners Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravi Bishnoi.
Rohit Sharma's buoyant India will look to continue the winning run and extend their domination over the West Indies when they clash in the second T20 International on Monday. The visitors are coming off a comprehensive victory in the opener of the five-match series. What separated the two teams in the first match was not only its all-round performance but also smart captaincy by Rohit who fielded his three spinners Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravi Bishnoi.
The Indian women's cricket team will begin its campaign at the Commonwealth Games on Friday against Australia at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The Indian team is grouped alongside Australia, Pakistan and Barbados in Group A. Ahead of the fixture against Australia, Virat Kohli wished the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side luck for the entire event.
After sweeping the three-match ODI series, Team India will now look to clinch the five-match T20I series against West Indies, starting July 29 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad. The T20I series will mark the return of captain Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya and star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who rested for the ODIs. The start of the series will be crucial for both the teams to set tone for the remaining games. Unlike the Queen's Park Oval, the pitch at this venue is slower, and the batter's might find it difficult to play shots.
Rishabh Pant hosted an Instagram Live on Tuesday night that saw the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav also joining him to have some fun ahead of India's third and final ODI match against the West Indies. During the virtual meet, the players were also joined by retired India captain MS Dhoni for a brief moment. Meanwhile, in one of the best moments of the Instagram Live, Suryakumar Yadav was seen giving an epic reaction after Pant said that he would not be adding Avesh Khan in it.
On Tuesday evening, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant hosted a hilarious Instagram Live session along with teammates Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav and the session saw the cricketers interacting with some lucky fans. During the session, Pant tried to drag former skipper MS Dhoni into getting involved in the Instagram Live, but Dhoni turned off the phone.
Rishabh Pant has become the toast of Indian cricket lovers after a scintillating performance in the third ODI against England on Sunday. He was named 'Player of the Match' for his brilliant unbeaten century that helped India beat England by five wickets at Old Trafford in Manchester and seal the series 2-1. Coming in to bat with India in trouble at 21/2, Pant hit 125* to help India chase down the 260-run target with just under eight overs to spare.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting feels India should find a way to include both Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik in their playing XI for the T20 World Cup. Ponting feels that both wicketkeeper-batters are in top form, and having both players in the team might benefit Team India. While Pant has been in excellent form in international cricket, Dinesh Karthik had an impressive Indian Premier League campaign with the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Ponting said that he would take Pant and Karthik over the likes of Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan.
