LAHORE, Pakistan : Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq hopes his second stint as chief selector of the men's team will prove more successful than his first when the team won the 2017 Champions Trophy in England.
Ruturaj Gaikwad was part of the Test and ODI squads that played in the West Indies. Over the last few seasons Gaikwad has been under a lot of focus with some memorable performances for the Chennai Super Kings. His show as a CSK opener has made him the 26-year-old one of the bright prospects for the Indian team. He scored 590 in 16 matches during CSK's title-winning run in the IPL 2023. After the IPL final, Gaikwad got married to Utkarsha Pawar, who is a cricketer and plays for Maharashtra.
With only two months remaining for the ODI World Cup 2023, India are in their final stages of deciding the team combination. Their desperate call on experimentations was evident in the way Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were rested from the final two ODIs against West Indies. With a bunch of fringe players, India lost the second ODI but made a brilliant comeback to win the third ODI. Sanju Samson played a great role in the third ODI and even scored a half-century while batting at No. 4. However, veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin feels that Samson has got "no space" in the top-4 in ODIs.
One of India's finest batters, especially in limited-overs cricket, Rohit Sharma was unfortunate to have missed out on the 2011 World Cup berth. The opening batter has since gone on to play in a few World Cup events but the elusive winner's medal is still missing from his resume. As the cricket worlds inches closer to the 2023 edition of the ODI World Cup, Rohit recalled the memories of the past events, especially the 2011 edition when he wasn't a part of the Indian team.
Having gained new fans with his captaincy skills over the last year or so, Hardik Pandya lost a few crucial brownie points with his bizarre decision-making in the 2nd T20I against West Indies. Hardik's decision to snub Yuzvendra Chahal in the death overs put him in the line of fire, with many former India cricketers questioning his decision. Former India batter Robin Uthappa, who admitted to being mind-blown by Hardik's decision, summed up his reaction to the Chahal call in a single expression.
Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif asserted on Monday that the Indian team has the capability to win the World Cup at home this year and it should not be judged on the basis of two T20I losses in the West Indies. India, after winning the two-Test series and ODIs in the Caribbean, are trailing 0-2 in the five-match T20I series, leading to criticism over the side's preparations ahead of two major competitions -- the Asia Cup in Pakistan and Sri Lanka and the ODI World Cup at home.
Team India faced a shocking two-wicket defeat against West Indies in the second ODI on Sunday. With this loss, the Hardik Pandya-led side has gone down 0-2 in the five-match series. Opting to bat first, Team India posted a total of 152/7. Later, West Indies comfortably chased down the target in just 18.5 overs as Nicholas Pooran scored 67 off 40 balls. In the match where the entire batting unit miserably failed, it was young Tilak Varma, who stood up for Team India and scored a half-century to take the visitors to a respectable total.
Indian cricket team all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was a top performer in the Test series against West Indies but the veteran star was rested for the white-ball series. It was the perfect chance for him to take a vacation and it looks like he is having a good time in United States. In a video posted by Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings, Jadeja can be seen hitting the dance floor and grooving to local music. He is currently on vacation with his family and the caption accompanying the video read - “When life gives you Mondays, vibe like JADDU! #WhistlePodu #Yellove”.
