World Cup squad. The Singapore-born 26-year-old is now relishing being part of the Australian setup and scored his first half-century for the defending world T20 champions in last week's six-wicket defeat by India in Hyderabad. At 6-ft 5-in, David is a towering finishing batsman but might be more remarkable for being the only player in the Australian squad without a state or national contract.
MELBOURNE : Forced to carve out a career outside the professional ranks, T20 specialist Tim David gave little thought to playing for Australia until just before his surprise selection in the World Cup squad.
Suryakumar Yadav jumped a place to reach a career-best-equalling second position in the latest ICC men's T20I Player rankings issued on Wednesday. Suryakumar now has 801 rating points after smashing a match-winning 69 off 36 deliveries in the third match against Australia in Hyderabad on Sunday that helped India clinch the series 2-1. He had reached the second spot in T20 rankings for the first time in August this year following his exploits against the West Indies.
SYDNEY : All-rounder Cameron Green has been rewarded for his performances in India with a spot in the Australia Twenty20 squad for two World Cup warm-ups against West Indies in Queensland next week.
It was a fantastic night for Team India on Sunday as they defeated Australia in the third T20I in Hyderabad to clinch the three-T20I series 2-1. Chasing 187, India didn't have the best of starts as openers KL Rahul (1) and Rohit Sharma (17) were out inside the first four overs. But Virat Kohli (63 off 48 balls) and Suryakumar Yadav (69 off 36 balls) shared a 104-run partnership to lay the platform for the Indian victory. After the match, during the presentation, skipper Rohit took former India spinner Murali Kartik, also part of the commentary panel for the official broadcasters, by surprise.
Rohit Sharma notched yet another bilateral series win as India captain as his side defeated Australia in a T20I game in Hyderabad on Sunday. Chasing a target of 187, India reached the mark in 19.5 overs. Skipper Rohit scored 17 off 14 balls. His short innings included one six and two fours. He showed signs of being aggressive and got caught out after charging down the track against Pat Cummins in the fourth over. Former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar said that with the batting depth, Rohit can take his chances.
Improving India's bowling remains the team's focus ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup next month, skipper Rohit Sharma has said, adding that he backs seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar to come out of a recent slump. India went past Aaron Finch's Australia by six wickets to clinch the three-match T20 series 2-1, and now host South Africa for a white-ball series starting Wednesday. The team's batsmen, including Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav, have been in good form and shared a 104-run partnership to secure victory on Sunday, but the final-overs bowling has been a cause of worry.
Australian cricket legends Adam Gilchrist and Mark Waugh believe Tim David must feature for the national team at the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup but could not agree on the player he should replace. While David only scored 18 runs and two from the opening two matches of the three-match T20I series against India, the 26-year-old exhibited his top-class performance with a blistering half-century in the final game of that series in Hyderabad on Sunday. David smashed 54 runs in just 27 balls. His knock was decorated with four sixes and two fours.
