  • IND vs BAN T20Is: THIS Star Wicketkeeper Could Be Selector’s Choice Over Ishan Kishan | cricket news

    Jitesh Sharma could well pip Ishan Kishan for the second wicketkeeper’s slot in the Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian T20 team which will play three T20Is against Bangladesh starting October 6 in Gwalior. The squad is expected to be announced this week.

    The second and third T20Is will be held in New Delhi and Hyderabad on October 9 and 12 respectively. With Rishabh Pant’s focus being 10 Tests this season, Sanju Samson will be India’s No. 1 glovesman in the shortest format for now with Jitesh from Vidarbha believed to be ahead of Kishan in the race for the second keeper’s slot.

    Kishan’s selection in the Rest of India squad also means that his international comeback could be slightly delayed. With the Test series against New Zealand starting October 16 in Bengaluru, top players like Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah are likely to be rested as a part of the workload management programme.

    Some players could miss out as they will be part of the Irani Cup between the Rest of India and Mumbai in Lucknow from October 1 to 5. A lot of players, who played in Zimbabwe in the five-match T20I series in July this year, will get a look-in.

    Abhishek Sharma, the hard-hitting Punjab left-hander, is set to be back in the mix in the absence of Shubman Gill. However, it remains unclear who will partner him at the top of the order if both Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are rested.

    Ruturaj Gaikwad, the captain of the Rest of India team, is also in a tight spot as he will likely be busy with the Irani Cup until October 5, leaving little time before the Bangladesh T20Is begin. There is speculation that Jaiswal might play the first match, while Asian Games gold medalist Gaikwad could join the squad for the last two games.

    Hardik Pandya is set to return to the national side, along with Shivam Dube. The likes of Rinku Singh, Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Tushar Deshpande and Ravi Bishnoi, all of whom, were part of the Zimbabwe series, are expected to be part of the squad. Harshit Rana who was in Zimbabwe as a backup pacer could also get a chance.

  • IND vs BAN: Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, Yash Dayal Likely To Be Released From India Squad For Irani Cup | cricket news

    Premier middle-order batsman Sarfaraz Khan, wicket-keeper Dhruv Jurel and pacer Yash Dayal are set to be released from the Indian team for the Irani Cup in case they are not selected in the playing XI for the second Test against Bangladesh, starting September 27. in Kanpur.

    The BCCI on Tuesday announced the Rest of India squad, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, which will take on reigning Ranji Trophy champions Mumbai in Lucknow from October 1-5.

    “Dhruv Jurel and Yash Dayal have been selected in the Rest of India squad and their participation is subject to them not being involved in the second Test match against Bangladesh in Kanpur,” said the BCCI statement on Tuesday.

    If sources are to be believed, in case Rishabh Pant suffers any niggle during the Test, KL Rahul can fill up for him. (Rahul Dravid Was Regimented, Gautam Gambhir Is Relaxed: R Ashwin)

    As reported by PTI on Monday, prolific run-getter Sarfaraz, who represents Mumbai domestically, will also play for his home side, led by Ajinkya Rahane, if he does not figure in the playing XI for the second Test against Bangladesh.

    “Sarfaraz Khan who has been retained in the Team India squad for the 2nd Test, will be released to represent the Mumbai team subject to him not being involved in the second Test match against Bangladesh in Kanpur,” added the BCCI statement.

    The Irani Cup match will also mark Mumbai all-rounder Shardul Thakur’s return to first-class cricket post surgery.

    It is understood that all top players including Shreyas Iyer, Musheer Khan, Shams Mulani and Tanush Kotian will also play the match for Mumbai.

    It is also understood that Mumbai stalwart Suryakumar Yadav, who is India’s T20 skipper, and all-rounder Shivam Dube, both of whom are automatic picks in the Indian T20 squad, won’t be playing the Irani Cup as they would have to report in Gwalior on October 3 for the T20I series starting October 6.

    Rest of India squad: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Abhimanyu Easwaran (vc), Sai Sudharsan, Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurel (wk)*, Ishan Kishan (wk), Manav Suthar, Saransh Jain, Prasidh Krishna, Mukesh Kumar, Yash Dayal*, Ricky Bhui, Shashwat Rawat, Khaleel Ahmed, Rahul Chahar.

  • IND vs BAN: Rohit Sharma’s Superstitious Bail Switching Act Goes Viral- WATCH | cricket news

    IND vs BAN: Indian captain Rohit Sharma, known for his entertaining antics on and off the field, was spotted in a rather superstitious mood during the first Test match against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The 37-year-old skipper, with a mischievous smile, was seen switching the bails at the striker’s end, seemingly casting a “spell” to influence the game’s outcome. Though it’s unclear whether this occurred during the first or second innings, the moment quickly went viral, drawing attention from fans and pundits alike.

    Rohit’s playful act is reminiscent of a similar moment involving former captain Virat Kohli, who switched bails during a match when India was struggling to take wickets. Such superstitions, though light-hearted, reflect the quirky traditions that cricketers often indulge in to alter the course of a game. The video of Rohit’s antics has spread rapidly on social media, with fans sharing their reactions to his light-hearted approach.

    A Tough Test for Rohit Sharma

    While Rohit’s off-field antics brought some cheer, his on-field performance in the first Test was less than stellar. Coming into the match on the back of a solid ODI series against Sri Lanka, the Indian captain struggled with the bat, scoring just six runs in the first innings and five in the second. Despite his personal struggles, Rohit remained upbeat, rallying his team and making tactical decisions that kept India in control.

    Shubman Gill Shines as India Secures a Dominant Victory

    Despite Rohit and Kohli’s underwhelming performances, India’s younger stars and all-rounders stepped up to the challenge. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja provided crucial runs when India was under pressure in the first innings, with Ashwin scoring a century and Jadeja contributing 86 valuable runs. Their efforts helped India recover from early setbacks and build a commanding position in the match.

    In the second innings, it was the turn of the next generation to shine. Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant showcased their class with sensational centuries that set the tone for India’s mammoth target of 515 runs. Gill, in particular, continued his impressive form, playing with a mix of aggression and composure that bodes well for India’s future in Test cricket. His century was a masterclass in stroke play, underlining his status as one of India’s most promising young talents.

    Looking Ahead: India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test

    With a comprehensive 280-run win in the first Test, India has taken a 1-0 lead in the series. Despite individual batting failures, the collective team effort, bolstered by the all-round performances of Ashwin, Jadeja, Pant, and Gill, ensured India’s dominance. The second Test is set to commence on September 27 at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced that the squad will remain unchanged for the next match.

    India will look to continue their winning momentum, while Rohit Sharma will aim to bounce back and contribute with the bat. Fans will be eager to see if the captain’s superstitious rituals continue to play a role, and if India’s young guns, led by Shubman Gill, can once again rise to the occasion.

  • IND vs BAN: BCCI Announce Unchanged Squad For Second Test In Kanpur | cricket news

    The moment after India won the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai on Sunday, the BCCI declared an unchanged squad for the second Test, starting September 27 in Kanpur. There were a lot of talks going on as to whether Jasprit Bumrah would be rested but then the senior selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar added the pace bowler in India’s second Test squad.

    The likes of Yash Dayal and Akash Deep managed to hold their places while Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel will also travel with the team. The Indian team outplayed Bangladesh by 280 runs in Chennai on Sunday, September 22, and took a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.

  • IND vs BAN: Rishabh Pant Scores Hundred On His Return To Test Cricket After 635 Days | cricket news

    India’s star batter Rishabh Pant smashed a solid century during India’s second innings against Bangladesh in the first Test match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. On the third day of play, Rishabh Pant started the innings with Shubman Gill and ended up getting a century on his return to Test cricket 635 days.

    Pant collected 109 runs off 128 balls before getting out to Mehidy Hasan Miraz. The left-hand batsman also smashed 13 fours and 4 sixes throughout his innings. He played some extraordinary shots all around the park and made his innings look effortless. The Delhi-based batsman also equaled the record of former India skipper MS Dhoni as both have six centuries under their belts in the Test format. Pant is now standing at the top of the list of most Test hundreds by an Indian Wicketkeeper. Pant scored six hundred in 58 innings while Dhoni took 144 innings to do the same.

    The moment Pant reached his hundred, fans went berserk on social media as they started lauding the left-hander.

  • Bangladesh’s Aggressive Fielding Strikes Akash Deep After Near Miss With Rishabh Pant, Video Goes Viral – Watch | cricket news

    The opening Test between India and Bangladesh at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium took a dramatic turn on Day Two when a fierce throw from Bangladesh’s Hasan Mahmud struck Indian pacer Akash Deep in the back. The moment sparked memories of a similar incident just a day earlier, when Rishabh Pant narrowly avoided being hit by a misdirected throw, leading to a heated exchange with Bangladesh wicketkeeper Litton Das. As tensions escalated, the cricketing drama only intensified.

    A Fiery Encounter on Day Two

    Day Two began with India looking to build on their overnight score of 356 for 7, with Ravindra Jadeja and centurion Ravichandran Ashwin holding the fort. Unfortunately, Jadeja fell early on his overnight score of 86, bringing Akash Deep to the crease. Playing in just his second Test, Akash showcased grit and determination, but soon found himself the target of a wayward throw.

    As he scrambled back into his crease, Hasan Mahmud unleashed a throw that smacked Akash squarely in the back. The throw, meant to be a direct hit to the stumps, was unnecessary, as replays clearly showed Akash was safely within his crease. The incident prompted a brief halt in play to ensure the pacer wasn’t seriously injured. While Akash managed to shake off the pain, the disruption seemed to affect his focus, and just a few deliveries later, he attempted an ambitious shot that resulted in his dismissal by Taskin Ahmed for 17.

    Despite the unfortunate incident, Akash’s brief stay at the crease added 24 valuable runs for the eighth wicket alongside Ashwin. However, India’s innings soon came to an end at 376, with Mahmud capping off his five-wicket haul by removing Jasprit Bumrah for 7.

    Flashback to Pant’s Fiery Exchange

    The tension surrounding these on-field incidents took root on Day One, when Rishabh Pant was at the receiving end of a similarly aggressive throw. As Pant took a quick single, a misdirected throw from the deep came dangerously close to hitting him. Visibly annoyed, Pant exchanged words with Bangladesh’s wicketkeeper Litton Das, a conversation that was picked up by the stump mic.

    “Mere ko kyu maar rahe ho? (Why are you hitting me?)” Pant fired at Das, to which the Bangladesh keeper calmly responded, “Woh to maarega hi na (the fielder has to throw).” The exchange was brief, but it set the tone for what has been an intense and high-strung Test match so far.

    Bangladesh’s Aggression: A Strategy or Overzealous?

    Bangladesh’s aggressive fielding tactics in this Test, particularly their sharp throws at the stumps, have raised eyebrows. While direct hits can certainly create pressure, the unnecessary aggression—especially when the batsman is already inside the crease—has sparked controversy. Akash Deep’s incident on Day Two appeared to be a clear case of overzealous fielding, especially after the similar near-miss with Pant on Day One.

    This approach might be a reflection of Bangladesh’s strategy to unsettle India, especially considering India’s strong recovery from a precarious position at 144 for 6 on Day One. But there’s a fine line between competitive edge and reckless aggression, and Bangladesh’s bowlers seem to be treading dangerously close to that boundary.

    Ashwin and Jadeja Turn the Tide

    While the focus has been on the fielding incidents, it’s important not to overlook the stellar performances that have defined this Test match so far. India’s recovery from a seemingly hopeless position on Day One can be attributed to a monumental 199-run partnership between Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.

    Ashwin’s sublime 113 was a masterclass in resilience and technique, anchoring India’s innings after their top order faltered. Jadeja’s controlled aggression, which earned him 86 crucial runs, complemented Ashwin perfectly, allowing India to post a respectable total. Without this partnership, India’s total of 376 could have been far lower, leaving Bangladesh with the upper hand going into the third day.

    Hasan Mahmud’s Standout Bowling

    Despite the controversial throw, Hasan Mahmud’s bowling was one of the highlights of Bangladesh’s performance. His pace and precision earned him a well-deserved five-wicket haul, including key dismissals like Ashwin and Bumrah. Mahmud’s ability to exploit the Chennai pitch, coupled with his persistence, has kept Bangladesh in contention, even as they look to overcome India’s total.

  • ‘We Are Just Trying To Give 100%’: Captain Najmul Shanto Backs His Side Ahead Of IND vs BAN First Test | cricket news

    Bangladesh skipper Najmul Shanto has encouraged his team to perform well in the upcoming two-match Test series against India, starting from September 19 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Recently, the Tiger Banglas have outplayed Pakistan 2-0 away from home and would be looking to give a strong challenge to India. While taking part in the pre-match press conference, Shanto said his team does not count on emotions anymore as they have matured over the years.

    “I think in the last 10-15 years, most of the players have gained experience. Of late, players aren’t getting too emotional. In the last couple of years, I felt we have been better at controlling our emotions. We are Thinking about our game, not about what will happen if we lose or win. That’s why it looks calm and follows every single plan.

    “I think we played very good cricket against Pakistan, which gives us a lot of confidence. But that is in the past,” he told reporters during the pre-match press conference.

    “We are here to play a new series, and the dressing room believes we can play very good cricket. We are not thinking about the outcome, but just trying to follow our processes,” said the skipper.

    India and Bangladesh have always harbored fierce animosity. The antagonistic interaction between the opposing fan bases during the 2016 Asia Cup, when Bangladeshi fans created a derogatory banner featuring Taskin Ahmed clutching MS Dhoni’s head. Bangladesh hasn’t been able to threaten the Indian team, nevertheless, in recent years.

    “I think they (India) are a very quality side. We know they have covered all the bases, like batting, bowling, and fielding. But we are not thinking about the conditions or the opponents. We are just thinking about ourselves,” Shanto said.

  • Sarfaraz Khan Recalls Virat Kohli’s Famous Pre Match Ritual From 2015 Ahead Of IND vs BAN Test Series | cricket news

    Sarfaraz Khan has expressed his excitement about the prospect of sharing the Indian team’s dressing room with the legendary Virat Kohli during the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, which begins on Thursday, September 19, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

    While Sarfaraz has previously shared a dressing room with Kohli during his stint with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), he is particularly thrilled about the opportunity to do so with the Indian national team. Kohli was not part of Sarfaraz’s debut international series earlier this year against England due to personal reasons. However, both players have been selected for the squad for the first Test against Bangladesh.

    “His passion and spirit are unmatched. Whenever I saw him, even in the pre-match meetings, he’d take charge and tell everyone how many runs he’d score off a particular bowler and break that down for everyone. To be gutsy enough to stand up and talk with such positivity in front of everyone and then deliver the next day is a very unique ability,” Sarfaraz told JioCinema.
