TAROUBA, Trinidad: West Indies lost their first three wickets with only 17 on the scoreboard and never recovered as India won the final one-day international by the huge margin of 200 runs to clinch the three-match series 2-1 on Tuesday.
After facing a six-wicket defeat in the second ODI against West Indies, Team India has arrived in Trinidad for the third and final match of the series. The Rohit Sharma-led team will aim to clinch a victory as the series is now levelled at 1-1. Ahead of the match, the team reached their hotel in Trinidad and received a great surprise as former West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo came to greet the players. The moment became more special as Bravo was accompanied by his adorable son.
Life changed for Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Rinku Singh after he won his franchise an Indian Premier League match against Gujarat Titans, hitting 5 consecutive sixes on the final 5 balls. Since that monumental feat, Rinku Singh's popularity has increase by several folds. The attacking batter's stocks have risen to such an extent that he even went on to earn India call-up for the national team. In an interview with the BCCI, Rinku opened up on how his life changed since he hit those 5 sixes to Gujarat Titans' Yash Dayal, leading up his maiden international call-up.
MS Dhoni can also be called the synonym of Chennai Super Kings. The former India skipper has been leading the franchise since 2008 and guided them to the record-equalling five titles. The latest victory came in IPL 2023, where they defeated Gujarat Titans in the summit clash. Dhoni is undoubtedly one of the finest skippers a team can ever ask for and to find a player to replace him will be a daunting task for the CSK management. However, former CSK batter Ambati Rayudu has expressed his opinion on which player can be the future leader of the team.
After years of grind and struggle, Rinku Singh finally earned his maiden India call-up for the upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou, China. After a stellar run with the bat in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Rinku will now look to impress in India colours during the Asian Games. In a recent interview, Rinku shed light on a range of topics, inlcuding his cricketing idol. The 25-year-old revealed he has always looked up to former India batter Suresh Raina. Rinku said he is constantly in touch with the former India and CSK star, who often gives him inputs to improve his game. He also credited former India spinner Harbhajan Singh for his support.
Team India's squad for the Asian Games 2023 became the talk of the town, ever-since it was announced. With Asian Games coinciding with the ODI World Cup, the BCCI has named a second-string Indian team for the continental event in Hangzhou. The men's cricket event will be held from September 28-October 8. The team, which will be lead by Chennai Super Kings opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, also features the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Arshdeep Singh and others. Out of all the players, former India opener Aakash Chopra was surprised with the inclusion of Arshdeep into the squad.
Former Australia skipper and Indian Premier League (IPL) side Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting was all praise for Yashasvi Jaiswal after the youngster slammed a century on debut to guide India to victory in the first Test against West Indies. Ponting said that Jaiswal's talent was apparent from his IPL performance and he expects the youngster to achieve bigger things with the national side in the future. Ponting added that Ruturaj Gaikwad is another cricketer who was almost equally talented as Jaiswal and backed the right-hander to become a major asset for the Indian cricket team.
Ruturaj Gaikwad is stoked about captaining India at the Asian Games and said the aim would be to win the gold medal and ensure India's national anthem is played at the podium. With Asian Games coinciding with the ODI World Cup, the BCCI has named a second-string Indian team for the continental event in Hangzhou.
