India skipper Rohit Sharma on Sunday credited the young and inexperienced members of his side for their role in delivering the team's biggest ever Test win, in terms of runs, on Sunday. India bowled out England for just 122 after setting a 557-run target in the fourth Test to go 2-1 up in the five-match series in Rajkot.
She doesn't like the word "retirement" but former Australia captain Meg Lanning is happy to be in her "quiet" space and follow her passion in franchise-based cricket around the world, including the Women's Premier League. Lanning, who has scored as many as 3405 runs in 132 matches in her T20I career, announced her retirement from international cricket in November last year. She admirably led Delhi Capitals in the inaugural WPL last year, emerging as the top-scorer in the tournament with 345 runs from nine games. The Capitals lost by seven wickets in the final against Mumbai Indians.
The organisers of the DP World International League T20 probably won’t ever allow themselves to think they have cracked it.
England batter Joe Root has been under the scanner amid his poor show in the ongoing Test tour of India. After England's 434-run defeat in the third Test in Rajkot on Sunday, Root has only managed just 77 runs in six innings across three matches. In the third Test, Root got out playing a rash shot in the first innings, before being trapped LBW in the second by Ravindra Jadeja. His mode of dismissal in the first innings, however, caught the attention of several former England players.
With the likes of all-rounder Marcus Stoinis and Aaron Hardie ruled out of the series, Australia was forced to make a change to their squad ahead of their away T20I series with New Zealand. Fast bowler Spencer Johnson has been added to the squad late ahead of the first match on Wednesday. Adam Zampa should be eligible for the series despite a logistical delay in arriving in New Zealand, while Matthew Wade will join the squad in Auckland for games two and three.
One of the greatest batters of his generation, Virat Kohli, is among a handful of players who play all three formats of the game. The demands of modern-day cricket often take a toll on a player but for Kohli, it's his fitness that has helped him continue to perform in the times of T20 cricket overflow. In an event, famous cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle was asked about the secret behind certain players' ability to navigate through different formats and continue performing.
NEW DELHI : India may not be contemplating life after Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli just yet but the robust display of their fringe players against England will have eased any fears about how they will cope when the old guard steps aside.
Skipper Rohit Sharma stressed on the Indian team's ability to win games on any surface including rank turners, following its record 434-run win over England on a flat track in Rajkot on Sunday. India set a target of 557 runs for England on a placid pitch with more than four sessions left in the game. However, the visitors folded inside 40 overs for 122 to give India a 2-1 lead in the series. "We have won a lot of matches on such wickets before. The turning tracks and on pitches where the ball turns remain our strength. It gives us balance," Rohit told the media in Rajkot.
