KANPUR, India :India produced their own version of 'Bazball' to squeeze out a remarkable seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh from a seemingly dead test match en route to a 2-0 series sweep on Tuesday.
England's aggressive approach will help when they face spin-friendly conditions in Pakistan during their test series in October, the country's former bowler Stuart Broad has said.
Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne described wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant as the most "amusing" player in the Indian team, ahead of the upcoming five-match Test series between the fierce rivals. Pant, who is set to tour Australia for the third time, will look a play a vital role in India's Border-Gavaskar trophy defence, starting with the first Test in Perth from November 22. Pant played a key role in sealing India's Test series win during the last tour in Australia in 2020-21, and Labuschagne dubbed him a 'funny' guy, but lauded him for playing the sport in the 'right spirit'.
After India's emphatic seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, senior pacer Jasprit Bumrah expressed his satisfaction at the emergence of Bengal pacer Akash Deep in the Test arena. The Kanpur Test marked another milestone for the 27-year-old Akash, who picked up three crucial wickets, reinforcing his reputation as a reliable bowler. Bumrah, speaking to the broadcaster after the win, praised Akash's fighting spirit and hunger to improve, acknowledging the progress he's made since his debut earlier in 2024.
Following the win over Bangladesh at Kanpur, Indian opener, Yashavi Jaiswal opened up about what was going on in his mind while batting on the fourth day of the Test match at the Green Park. Jaiswal's exceptional fifty in the second innings guided the hosts to a comfortable victory by seven wickets over Bangladesh on Tuesday. Jaiswal won the man of the match award for his contribution with the bat in both innings. He scored 72 in the first and 51 runs in the second innings.
Mohammed Shami has been out of action since a great show for the Indian cricket at the ODI World Cup 2023. But injury and subsequent ankle surgery has seen Shami miss quite a few series. He has now been named in Bengal's Ranji Trophy squad and there is a growing expectation that he will be fit to bowl for India before the Australia that starts in the third week of November. In training Shami has been bowling too.
Indian cricket's next generation of batting talent is quietly making waves, and star off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has high hopes for two of the country's brightest young stars — Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Both players impressed during India's recent 2-0 Test sweep against Bangladesh, with Jaiswal finishing as the top run-scorer of the series, accumulating 189 runs at an average of 47.25, while Gill closely followed with 164 runs at an impressive average of 54.66, including a century in the first Test.
Jemimah Rodrigues feels adaptability and maintaining a team-first mentality will be key for India to achieve their dream of claiming a maiden ICC title at the T20 World Cup beginning on Thursday. India, who reached the finals of the women's T20 World Cup in 2020, will start their campaign in the ninth edition of the tournament against New Zealand on October 4. "For me, it's all about assessing the conditions and playing the situation. I just want to keep it simple and do whatever it takes to help the team win and whatever the team needs," Rodrigues, who hit a 52 in the first warm-up game against West Indies, told Star Sports.
