Ravi Bishnoi Reveals Gautam Gambhir's Priceless Advise Behind Sri Lanka Tour Heroics

No Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma or Jasprit Bumrah, yet the Indian cricket team continues to march on, securing their second consecutive win of the 3-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. Ravi Bishnoi, much like the first T20I, played an important role in the team's triumph in the second match. Speaking to media in the post-match press conference, Bishnoi only had positive things to say about India's new T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav who has marshalled his troops quite effectively in the island nation.

"Don't Think Gautam Gambhir Has A Natural Captain": Ex New Zealand Star's Verdict On Suryakumar Yadav

Former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris believes that Suryakumar Yadav is only a temporary captaincy option for India, with Gautam Gambhir ideally hoping to build Shubman Gill as the nation's future long-term captain. Suryakumar Yadav - fondly known as SKY - was appointed India's T20I captain by Gambhir after the retirement of Rohit Sharma from the shortest format. Gill was appointed vice-captain in both the T20Is and ODIs for the Sri Lanka tour, prompting Styris to believe that more long-term plans are in play.

"Quickly Eats Lunch, Always In A Hurry": Arshdeep Singh Reveals Interesting Trait About India Teammate

India's left-arm fast-bowler Arshdeep Singh said leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi is someone who has a very big heart and bowls with a lot of daredevilry in the shortest format. His comments come after Bishnoi's superb spell of 3/26 played a big role in India winning second T20I by seven wickets. "Ravi Bishnoi has a very big heart and bowls with a lot of daredevilry. He's now getting rewards for it. Wherever he's got chances to play games, he has performed very well. Like, he was hit for runs in the first game, but came back strongly to end with a wicket."

"One Odd Game, Didn't Play Well": India Head Coach Amol Muzumdar Reflects On Women's Asia Cup Final Loss

Indian women's cricket team head coach Amol Muzumdar said the side didn't play up to their potential in the Women's Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka and lost the record-extending eighth continental title in Dambulla on Sunday. Indian bowlers failed to defend the 166 target against the hosts as Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu (61) and Harshitha Samarawickrama (69*) slammed half-centuries to take the side over the line with eight balls to spare. Kavisha Dilhari remained unbeaten on 30 off 16 balls including two sixes and a four.

Rahul Dravid's Honest Take On US leg of T20 World Cup 2024 Amid Criticism

Former India head coach Rahul Dravid has defended the heavily-criticised US leg of last month's T20 World Cup, saying that "playing at odd hours" and coping with "challenging" facilities were necessary "compromises" to take cricket to a larger audience. Given the huge effort involved in conducting the event in the region, Dravid said he was fine with the 10.30am (local time) starts and the infrastructure used for the games in New York, Florida and Texas.

Irfan Pathan's Blunt 'Riyan Parag Warning' As Gautam Gambhir Makes His Sanju Samson Stance Clear

After being benched for the first T20I against Sri Lanka, Sanju Samson marked his return to the Indian team in the second match of the series on Sunday. Samson, however, was dismissed for a golden duck, after being sent to open the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. The Rajasthan Royals captain, who usually bats at the No. 3 or No. 4 spot in the Indian Premier League, was surprisingly made to open after Shubman Gill had to miss out due to a neck spasm. Though it's only been two games since head coach Gambhir took over, his ideas about the team composition have been made quite clear, especially considering the role Riyan Parag has been given.

Steve Smith Shines As Washington Freedom Clinch Major League Cricket 2024 Title

In a spectacular display of power hitting and strategic bowling, Washington Freedom etched their name on the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2024 trophy with a massive 96-run victory over the San Francisco Unicorns in the championship final at Grand Prairie Stadium. Led by a stellar performance from Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell, Freedom set an imposing target of 208, which proved too steep for the Unicorns to chase in the match on Sunday. In need of a strong start, the Unicorns were immediately on the back foot.
