NEW DELHI : The Ranji Trophy has benefited from an unexpected sprinkling of stardust with several big-name India batters returning to domestic cricket looking to find form after their horror run over the last three months.
MANCHESTER: England struggled to trouble India’s openers after putting the touring side in to bat in the fourth test at Old Trafford on Wednesday, as they cruised through to lunch on 78-0.
LEEDS, England :India finished day three on 90-2 to lead England by 96 runs at stumps in the opening test at Headingley on Sunday after England were dismissed for 465 in the first innings on the back of Ollie Pope's century and Harry Brook's knock of 99.
The Indian cricket squad for the five-Test Tour of England will be announced on Saturday. There is much anticipation surrounding the squad as it will be the first time after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirement from the Test format. There are many question marks surrounding who will lead the side. There is also a question mark on the player who will take over the No. 4 position in the batting order, held by Virat Kohli for a long time. There is a also a big question mark on whether Mohammed Shami will be selected or not.
As the Rajasthan Royals' Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign ended with a 9th-place finish, the franchise certainly has a lot to look forward to next year. While most players punched well below their weight, there were a few who managed to justify their reputation and stature. One of those players was opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, who finished the season with 559 runs to his name at an average of 43 and a strike-rate of 159.71. However, since RR's season concluded, rumours of Jaiswal's potential exit from the franchise have intensified.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) batting coach Vikram Rathour said he is confident that Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel will excel in the upcoming five-match Test tour of England. At the same time, Rathour, the former India batting coach who made his Test debut on the tour of England in 1996, feels the upcoming series will be a tough tour for the side who are without the recently retired duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. With RR ending their IPL 2025 season with a six-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, Jaiswal and Jurel will have some time off before leaving for England with the India ‘A' team, who are slated to play two four-day games against the England Lions.
The contest between laggards Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals holds no significance in the context of the play-offs, but both teams will aim to accelerate their rebuilding process with the MS Dhoni-led side looking to transform itself from a 'dad's army' into a young brigade. The Tuesday's match is last of the 2025 edition for the Royals, who have nothing to savour except finding exceptional talent in Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who forced the cricket world to take note of his unexpected coruscating show.
Head coach Rahul Dravid hopes that the young Indian players in the Rajasthan Royals' ranks will soon get the opportunity to play "tough international cricket," which in turn will help them return stronger for the next IPL season. The Royals crashed to their fifth successive defeat when they went down against Punjab Kings by 10 runs here on Sunday. "We've seen some abilities. Even today, the batting that Jaiswal did, Vaibhav did, Dhruv Jurel did. There's a lot of Sanju, Riyan today. We have a lot of young, good Indian batsmen. They'll be even better in a year," Dravid said in the post match press conference.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Sanju Samson revealed the reason behind his team's defeat against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 59th encounter of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Sunday. A brilliant bowling performance from left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar guided the Punjab Kings (PBKS) team to victory over the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 10 runs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
