An international cricket tournament held in the Greater Toronto Area not only has a television audience of 150 million people worldwide, it'll also pour millions of dollars into the economy this year, its organizers say.
Getting dropped due to conditions that require a specific playing combination has been a "normal" thing for Kuldeep Yadav and the left-arm wrist spinner believes that it is better to make every opportunity count than fret on chances that he lost over the years. The Kanpur man snapped 4 for 6 in just three overs to lead India to a five-wicket win in the first ODI against the West Indies on Thursday.
The Indian cricket team created a new spin-bowling pair in the form of Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav, with the duo picking up 7 wickets between them in the first ODI against West Indies on Thursday. Their performance earned India a 5-wicket win after the hosts were bowled out for just 114. As Kuldeep and Jadeja sat down for a chat after the match, the latter poked fun at the former for his hairstyle. But Kuldeep, in return, gave a terrific response to Jadeja.
India's star shuttler Lakshya Sen extended his excellent run on Thursday, defeating local hope Koki Watanabe in straight games to enter the semifinals of the Japan Open Super 750 badminton competition in Tokyo. The 2022 Commonwealth Champion Lakshya registered a straight-set 21-15 21-19 victory over Watanabe to make his third successive semifinals, following his exploits in Canada and the United States. Sen, who won the Canada Open Super 500 earlier this month, jumped out to a 5-3 lead early on before closing to 11-7 at the break.
Cricket is on the rise in Canada.
Ravindra Jadeja was all praise for Virat Kohli after the former India captain took a stunning one-handed catch off his bowling in the first ODI against West Indies on Thursday. After conceding 20 runs in his first two overs, Jadeja made a strong comeback to dismiss Shimron Hetmyer and Romario Shepherd in quick succession. Jadeja cleaned up Hetmyer before Kohli's stunner saw him get his second wicket of the match. Kohli showed excellent reflexes as he dived towards his right to pluck the ball at second slip.
The first wicket of a nascent international career is always a special one. Mukesh Kumar who recently made his Test debut, played his first ODI match for India against West Indies on Thursday. He got his maiden wicket too in the match in the eighth over, with Ravindra Jadeja playing a big role. On the fifth ball of the eighth over, Alick Athanaze went for a cut shit against a short and widish delivery from Mukesh. The ball flew over Jadeja, but his well-timed jump well and and iron grasp ensured that it was a catch.
As India skipper Rohit Sharma announced the playing XI for the first ODI against West Indies, there was no place for wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson. While Ishan Kishan got the wicket-keeper's spot in the team, it was Suryakumar Yadav who earned the nod at the No. 3 spot despite the horrific form he has been in ODI cricket of late. Seeing Surya struggle to score runs in the 50-over format once again, many fans sympathised with Samson who remains on the bench despite proving to be an asset in his recent outings in one-day cricket.
