Yuzvendra Chahal, apart from his heroics with the ball, is known to be a great entertainer, whether it be on the pitch or on social media. He is often seen joking around with teammates and opposition players alike. During the second T20I between India and South Africa, play was interrupted due to one of the light towers shutting down during the second innings. Tabraiz Shamsi, not in the playing XI, was out in the middle chatting with the two batters at the crease, Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram, as well as India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant.
Suryakumar Yadav has moved three spots up to the second position in the latest T20 rankings for batters. Suryakumar, who scored a 44-ball 76 in the third T20 International against the West Indies on Tuesday, moved within two rating points of top-ranked batter Babar Azam. The knock against the West Indies won Suryakumar the player of the match award.
India batter Suryakumar Yadav and South Africa spinner Tabraiz Shamsi have made remarkable gains in the ICC Men's T20I Player Rankings, surging up to grab the second spot for batters and bowlers, respectively, in the latest weekly update. "Yadav has moved up three spots to within two rating points of top-ranked Babar Azam after a dazzling 44-ball knock of 76 that won him the Player of the Match award and sees him lead the batting aggregate with 111 runs from three matches in the series against the West Indies which his side leads 2-1," stated an official ICC release.
Proteas spinner Tabraiz Shamsi credited team management and teammates for not having a word with him after his disappointing showing in the first T20 against England in Bristol on Wednesday.
Jos Buttler's captaincy reign in white-ball cricket has not gotten off to a good start as England lost the three-match T20I series against South Africa. In the decider, the Three Lions suffered a 90-run loss after failing to chase down 192 runs. However, the game would be remembered for one of the most spectacular catches pulled off by Tristan Stubbs in the 10th over of England's innings.
South Africa levelled the series with a mighty 58-run victory over England in Cardiff on a night of glorious rediscovery for the tourists, for whom both Rilee Rossouw and the ability to catch returned in phenomenal style.
