Indian quick bowler Arshdeep Singh is stronger, fitter and riding high after answering his critics with a match-winning attack on South Africa's top order ahead of next month's T20 World Cup.
Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif was all praise for Suryakumar Yadav after the star batter scored a quickfire half-century in the first T20I against South Africa at the Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday. Despite chasing a below-par total of 107, the hosts were under pressure after losing the wickets of captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. However, he and KL Rahul stitched an unbeaten partnership to take India home with eight wickets to spare. Taking to Twitter, Kaif suggested that Suryakumar has cemented his place at no. 4 in the Indian team.
The Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) have unveiled a new kit that the UAE team will be sporting when the T20 World Cup kicks off in Australia next month.
The arch-rivals, who don't play bilateral series due to geo-political tensions, will clash for a fourth time in one year at the MCG. "If I give my best, they won't be able to play me easily. For the upcoming World Cup match, I'm very happy because it is at the Melbourne Cricket Ground," Rauf, who plays for Melbourne Stars in the BBL, said in the post-match interaction after their six-run win over England.
Team India had a night to remember on Wednesday, after they registered a magnificent eight-wicket win over South Africa in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. The pacer duo of Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar rose to the occasion and scalped three wickets and two wickets, respectively, to restrict the Proteas to 106/8. Later, KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav brought up their respective half-centuries to take India across the line in just 16.4 overs, despite initial setbacks.
Suryakumar Yadav's status as India's best T20I batter in recent times has been reaffirmed as he became the highest scorer in a single calender year with 732 runs, surpassing Shikhar Dhawan's 689 back in 2018. Suryakumar, who scored one of his finest T20I half-centuries against South Africa on a seaming track in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday, is only 24 runs short of completing 1000 runs in the format.
