"Kept Suryakumar Yadav In My World Cup Team But For That...": Ex-India Star's Blunt Take

Suryakumar Yadav failed to score big during the first ODI encounter between India and West Indies in Barbados and his dismissal has attracted criticism from several ex-cricketers. With the visitors chasing a modest target of 115, Suryakumar was promoted to No.3 to score some quick runs but he ended up gifting his wicket to Windies spinner Gudakesh Motie. The explosive batter played a couple of trademark shots before he was trapped LBW while trying to play a sweep shot. Former India opener Aakash Chopra was disappointed with how Suryakumar was dismissed and in the latest video on his YouTube channel, questioned his decision to keep playing the same shot over and over again.

Jemimah Rodrigues To Play In The Hundred For Northern Superchargers

India batter Jemimah Rodrigues has signed a last-minute deal to play for Northern Superchargers in the upcoming Hundred tournament in England, replacing Australia's Heather Graham.

According to espncricinfo.com, the Northern Superchargers had opted against retaining the Indian batter ahead of the draft in March this year, but have been able to bring her back in their side as an injury replacement.

South Zone brought forth their all-round prowess to brush aside North East Zone by nine wickets in their Deodhar Trophy match on Friday. The South Zone bowlers, led by Vidwath Kaverappa and R Sai Kishore, bundled out NE Zone for a feeble 136 after the latter elected to bat first. South had little trouble in overhauling the target in just 19.3 overs as opener Rohan Kunnummal made an unbeaten fifty (87, 58 balls, 8x4, 5x6).

Ex-CSK Star Takes Sly Dig At India Management For Ignoring Sanju Samson

As expected, India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson did not find a place in the XI for the first ODI against West Indies on Thursday. Instead of him, Ishan Kishan was asked to keep the wickets in the absence of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul. However, Kishan did repay the trust shown by the management, scoring a brilliant half-century after opening the batting for India during the modest chase of 115. Kishan scored 52 off 46 balls as India chased down the total inside 23 overs.
