Matthew Wade Left Fuming By Umpire's Huge Decision In Tense Final Over vs India

Australian cricket team skipper Matthew Wade was left fuming by a huge decision from the on-field umpire in the final over of the fifth T20I encounter between India and Australia in Bengaluru on Sunday. With 10 runs needed to win from the final over, Arshdeep Singh bounced a bouncer on the first ball and it looked like it sailed over Wade's head. However, the umpire was not convinced and he did not award a wide to Australia. Wade was visibly angry with the decision and he made his feelings clear to the on-field umpires. Wade was dismissed on the very next ball and India went on to win the match by six runs.

"If We Go Down, It Will Be In Style": Brendon McCullum Ahead Of India Tests

'Bazball' has changed the dynamics of England's batting approach in Test cricket and their Kiwi coach Brendon McCullum is very clear that irrespective of outcome, his team won't deviate from its aggressive tactics against India in the five-Test series, where most tracks will offer substantial turn. The term 'Bazball', coined after McCullum's nickname 'Baz' and the attacking philosophy that he endorses, has also found its pride of place in 'Collins dictionary'.

Ravi Bishnoi Emerges As India's Third Spin Option Ahead Of T20 World Cup

When Ravi Bishnoi was named in India's T20I squad for the away series against South Africa, it, perhaps, was the clearest indication about his place in the think tank's long-term plans with the next year's T20 World Cup in mind. With only six T20Is remaining for India ahead of the showpiece, it can be assumed that the 23-year-old leg-spinner has moved ahead of veteran Yuzvendra Chahal in the pecking order, for now at least. Chahal is not a part of India's T20I side to face the Proteas. Chahal is 33 and Bishnoi is 23, but the latter getting as much or more game time in T20Is is not just about a natural generational transition. Chahal has played nine T20Is this year, grabbing as many wickets whereas Bishnoi appeared in 11 matches and picked up 18 wickets. The difference is there for everyone to see.

"Showed Class Character": Suryakumar Yadav Hails India Star After Series Sweep

India captain Suryakumar Yadav lauded rookie leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi for his great recovery in the T20I series against Australia after a rough start. Suryakumar added that Bishnoi displayed a "class character" after being costly in the series' first T20I. The right-arm leg-break spinner was one of the players who impressed in the young bowling department and scalped wickets whenever the need arose. The bowling attack dominated the game and helped India to beat Australia by 6 runs in the fifth T20I match of the series at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.

Arshdeep Singh Reveals Suryakumar Yadav's Message Before Final Over Heroics In 5th T20I vs Australia

Arshdeep Singh felt that it was simply divine intervention and unhinged faith from his skipper Suryakumar Yadav which enabled him to defend 10 runs in the final over of a thrilling fifth T20 International, wherein India pipped Australia by just six runs. The left-arm seamer has been profligate at the death in T20Is for more than one year and after giving away 37 runs in his first three overs on Sunday, no one would have thought that he would be able to defend just 10 with the dangerous Matthew Wade on strike.

South Africa vs India: Temba Bavuma, Kagiso Rabada Rested For White-Ball Assignments

South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma and pace ace Kagiso Rabada have been rested for the white-ball leg of this month's home series against India with the duo set to return for the two Tests. The Proteas host India for a full series, which includes three T20Is, as many ODIs and two Tests, beginning with the shortest format on December 10 in Durban.
