"Isn't Viable...": Big Doubts Over BCCI's Team India Squad For Champions Trophy Raised

Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan has backed India's move to delay Mohammed Shami's much-anticipated international return following a prolonged injury lay-off, saying the team think tank and the veteran pacer will make the "right call at the right time". Shami, who has proved his fitness in practice sessions and domestic cricket for Bengal, was not included in India's playing XI for the first T20I against England here on Wednesday. All eyes were on Shami's return after a 14-month injury lay-off, but India opted for three spinners instead, a decision that paid off as they bowled out England for a meagre 132 before cruising to the target in 12.5 overs with seven wickets in hand.

India Star Twists Ankle Ahead Of India vs England 2nd T20I, More Headache For Gautam Gambhir And Co.

India opener Abhishek Sharma faced an injury scare ahead of the second T20I against England as he twisted his ankle during the catching drill at nets in Chennai on Friday. Subsequently, Abhishek was checked by team physiotherapist on the field before retreating to the dressing room to give rest to his ankle. He was seen slightly limping while walking back to the pavilion and did not bat at nets either. The 24-year-old spent more than half an hour with the physio in the dressing room.

Getting into the Indian cricket team is tough, but holding on to a place in the side is even tougher. Being the most popular sport in the country, the supply of talent is massive. It also means that sometimes players might feel disgruntled for lack of opportunity. Same is the case with Manoj Tiwary. The now retired star averaged 99.50 in 2006-07 Ranji Trophy but had to wait long for his international debut due to injury. However, when his debut came in 2008 it was not special. He slammed his maiden ODI century against West Indies in Chennai in 2011, but was benched for months after that game.

Kuldeep Yadav's Brutal Dig At RCB Fan On Live Stream. Says, "You Guys Need Trophy..."

Kuldeep Yadav had an hilarious exchange with a Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fan, who was trying to troll the Indian spinner. Recently, Kuldeep, who is an ardent supporter of FC Barcelona, appeared on Talk Football HD's podcast to discuss about his passion for the sport.

"Kuldeep bhai RCB me aa jao, ek goalkeeper ki jarurat hai (Kuldeep bro, please join RCB; we need one goalkeeper)," a fan with username "RCB maangement" wrote in the super chat section.

Huge Controversy In Ranji Trophy As Shreyas Iyer Survives Caught Behind Appeal. Jammu And Kashmir Players In Shock

A huge controversy erupted during Day 2 of the ongoing Ranji Trophy fixture featuring Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir on Friday. Notably, Mumbai batter Shreyas Iyer was given not out despite an apparent edge through to the keeper. The incident happened on the second ball of the 19th over of Mumbai's innings at the Bandra Kurla Complex Cricket Ground. Iyer tried to drive pacer Umar Nazir through covers, but he mistimed his shot and the ball went straight to the keeper Kanhaiya Wadhawan. However, there was a huge noise as the ball went past Iyer's bat. Nazir and Wadhawan went up in unison, celebrating even before umpire raised his finger.

Rohit Sharma Hits Trademark Pull Shot For Six. Ranji Trophy Crowd Can't Keep Calm - Watch

Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma pulled Umar Nazir Mir for a trademark six, effortlessly lofted Auqib Nabi and Yudhvir Singh for a couple of more hits over the ropes to give a glimpse of his absolute best. But eventually, a fifty on Ranji comeback was not meant to be for him as he fell for 28 on Friday. Playing his first game for Mumbai in domestic red-ball cricket in nearly a decade, Rohit's first day on the field was a disaster with the 37-year-old falling for a 19-ball 3 in the opening hour of the Ranji Trophy clash against Jammu and Kashmir. But on Friday, Rohit gave a far better account of himself to notch up a fluent 28, his best in first-class cricket since a 52 in the second innings of the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand last year.

On India's Big Win In 1st T20I, England Star Makes Bizarre 'Lucky' Remark

England cricket team fast bowler Jofra Archer said that Indian batters were lucky as his team slumped to a huge loss in the first T20I encounter in Kolkata on Wednesday. Archer picked up 2 wickets for England but Indian batters reigned supreme with opener Abhishek Sharma hitting 8 sixes in his innings. Chasing a mere 132, India made short work of the match and won the encounter with 43 balls to go. Archer said that the Indian batters were 'extremely lucky' as a number of balls were miscued high up in the air but they ended up dropping in no-man's land.

Mumbai vs Jammu and Kashmir Live Updates, Ranji Trophy Day 2: Mumbai Aim To Bounce Back

Mumbai vs Jammu and Kashmir Live Updates, Ranji Trophy Day 2: Jammu and Kashmir will aim to extend their lead over Mumbai on Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy game at Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC, Mumbai. India skipper Rohit Sharma's poor form in red-ball cricket continued as he fell for a 19-ball 3 before Mumbai conceded a first-innings lead against Jammu and Kashmir in their Elite Group A match in the Ranji Trophy on Thursday. Electing to bat on a green-top wicket proved costly for the Ajinkya Rahane-led side as Mumbai were shot out for a mere 120, and in reply, J&K finished the opening day's play at 174/7 for a lead of 54 runs. As many as 17 wickets fell in the day's play. Shardul Thakur saved Mumbai some blushes as his 57-ball 51 with five fours and two sixes dragged them from a perilous 47/7 past the 100-run mark.
