Virat Kohli is always the first to board RCB team bus. Here is why

Danijones7 months ago04 mins

Cameron Green revealed that Virat Kohli always boards the RCB team bus before anyone else and that it’s a conscious choice from the whole group. The Australian all-rounder said the rest of Kohli’s teammates prefer getting onto the bus when things settle down after the reception from fans for their former captain. The love and support for Kohli and RCB has only grown over the years, despite the team failing to lift the coveted IPL trophy year after year. While speaking at an event, Green was asked who was the ‘good boy’ in the RCB team, and who came for team meetings and the team bus on time. The star all-rounder picked Virat Kohli, much to the delight of the audience at the event. “Probably Virat to be fair, I think it’s good for him to get on the bus, all the crowd can go wild and then everyone, calms down, and we’ll just walk down quietly,” Green said. Despite their floundering campaign, RCB have had a healthy dressing room atmosphere and the camaraderie among the players has been evident. The former champions are rooted to the bottom of the points table with just 3 wins in their first 10 matches of IPL 2024.

He pointed out that the fans with their RCB jerseys on made the team feel at home, whichever ground they play at. He also mentioned the players hearing RCB and Kohli chants wherever they go. The England batting star flaunted how RCB fans have dominated crowds across the country and highlighted the ‘Kohli, Kohli’ chants at every venue in IPL 2024. “I think I’m stuck on what counts as it feels like every game is a home game. It’s amazing, you see at least half of RCB shirts in the crowd. It’s an amazing feeling, they are always chanting obviously. Kohli chants everywhere and RCB chants. You don’t feel under pressure, like you are out of the way there and you feel like there is something out of there. You always feel you got support and if you do well, they will cheer for you,” Jacks said. Fans have lived up to the tag of ’12th man’ for RCB so far. The former finalists will look to play for pride and finish their season on a high. RCB next face Gujarat in Bengaluru on Saturday, May 4. Published By: Diya Kakkar Published On: May 2, 2024

Danijones7 months ago04 mins

Image Source : PTI/AP Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar, the Indian captain and chairman of selectors addressed the press conference regarding the T20 World Cup squad Indian captain Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar were pretty straightforward with their responses in the press conference in Mumbai on Thursday, May 2 with respect to the T20 World Cup announced a couple of days ago. The duo was asked pretty much everything from the omissions of Rinku Singh, and Shubman Gill to the presence of four spinners and form of certain players. One of the questions was regarding Virat Kohli’s strike rate and the first reaction from skipper Rohit suggested that they were expecting that. Rohit laughed instantly. It was a rather sheepish smile. Before he gestured towards Agarkar to respond to the question and the former India pacer mentioned that Kohli has been in terrific form in the season so far and came up with the experience retort while shedding light on the gap between IPL and international cricket. “I don’t think we have been discussing it. So, no look he’s been in great form fortunately in the IPL. So no concerns there at all. With regards to how it is going in the IPL, you are still going to a World Cup, it is still international, there’s still that gap there. So, you’ve got to prepare knowing that there is that gap. That’s where experience does matter a lot. If the tournament turned out to be where IPL is where 220 plays 220, I think we’ve still got enough in the team, the balance or the power that you can match that. “There’s no point in overthinking. You look and take positives that are happening in the IPL, form of some of the guys, some of the newer guys coming through. At the end of the day, when you turn up for a World Cup game, the pressures are a little different,” Agarkar added. Watch the video here (1:27:27 – 1:28:51): Kohli has had a couple of knocks where his strike rate came under the scanner, however, he has been in outstanding touch with the bat playing for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Kohli has amassed 500 runs at an average of 71.4 and a strike rate of 147.49. India have option of playing Kohli at the top or at No 3 give the rest of the combination they want to go with.

India unperturbed by Pandya’s form, Kohli’s strike rate ahead of World Cup

Danijones7 months ago05 mins

May 2 – India are not losing sleep over all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s form or batting stalwart Virat Kohli’s strike rate heading into the T20 World Cup in June, chief selector Ajit Agarkar said on Thursday. India unperturbed by Pandya’s form, Kohli’s strike rate ahead of World Cup Pandya, when fit and in form, is India’s preferred seam-bowling all-rounder and has also been retained as vice-captain of the Rohit Sharma-led squad for the T20 showpiece co-hosted by the United States and West Indies. Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now! Download Now! Returning from an ankle injury suffered during the 50-overs World Cup last year, the 30-year-old has struggled with bat and ball in the Indian Premier League . Under his captaincy, five-times champions Mumbai Indians have slipped to ninth place in the 10-team league and will need a miracle to make the playoff. “The good part is he’s got through all the games for MI and we’ve got another month and a little bit till we play our first game,” Agarkar told reporters in Mumbai. “As long as he stays fit, we know what he brings, how much balance he gives the team. “I don’t think there’s a replacement for the things that he can do as a cricketer, especially with the ball. He really gives Rohit the option to play different combinations. “So his fitness for us is critical and so far, fortunately, he’s gone okay in this IPL.” CONSISTENT KOHLI Unlike Pandya, Kohli has been consistent in the IPL with 500 runs so far this season and only Ruturaj Gaikwad has scored more runs than the former India captain. Many find Kohli’s strike rate of 147.59 not impressive enough but Agarkar and Rohit laughed off that criticism. “He’s been in great form in the IPL, no concerns there at all,” Agarkar said stressing the need for experience in a World Cup campaign. “You’ve got to prepare knowing there’s a gap . That’s where experience does matter a lot.” “There’s no point over-thinking it.” While the IPL provides a glimpse into the form and fitness of the players, Agarkar said performance in the league alone did not influence team selection. With the ball likely to turn in West Indies, India have picked two specialist spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal along with spin-bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel. “I wanted four spinners, three seamers and Hardik as the fourth one,” Rohit said. “Based on the combination of our opponents, there’s a good chance that Kuldeep and Chahal will play together…” Inaugural champions India will begin their campaign against Ireland in New York on June 5 and also face arch-rivals Pakistan, the United States and Canada in Group A.

‘I expect him to play like a…’: Former India cricketer’s advice for Hardik Pandya | Cricket News

Danijones7 months ago04 mins

NEW DELHI: Former Indian cricketer Pragyan Ojha has urged Hardik Pandya to embrace the role of a “true leader” and rise to the occasion. Despite facing criticism, Hardik was appointed as the vice-captain of India’s 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup.Ojha expressed confidence in Hardik’s leadership capabilities and his prowess as an all-rounder. He stressed the significance of mental preparedness, highlighting the need for Hardik to be ready to take charge when circumstances dictate.Ojha’s endorsement underscores the belief in Hardik’s potential to excel not just as a player but also as a leader on the cricketing stage.“I expect him to play like a leader because he is next in command. If something happens to Rohit, we don’t want that, if anything happens, he (Hardik) will be leading the side, so he has to be prepared, he has to take that responsibility when he is batting,” Ojha said on Jio Cinema.Hardik’s journey since the October 2023 ODI World Cup match against Bangladesh has been marked by both triumphs and challenges. After recovering from an ankle ailment, he assumed the captaincy of Mumbai Indians for the IPL 2024 season, replacing Rohit Sharma. However, this decision sparked significant social media criticism, which evidently impacted the all-rounder’s confidence.Despite the adversity, Hardik has showcased glimpses of his batting prowess in the 2024 IPL season, scoring 197 runs at an impressive average of 150.38 in 10 games. However, his bowling performance has been less stellar, with only six wickets claimed at an economy rate of 11.0.Navigating through the highs and lows, Pandya’s resilience will be key as he seeks to regain his form and silence the critics, both on and off the field.Ojha, acknowledging Hardik’s significance in the Indian setup, lauded his ability to provide balance to the team. Despite the IPL ordeal, Hardik’s place in the T20 World Cup squad was never in doubt. His versatility as an all-rounder offered India the flexibility they needed, a fact not lost on selectors or fans.“For me, he is someone who will create that balance for the side. Every time we talk about Indian team selection, Hardik’s name always comes in. He creates that balance, he will give you that cushion. That you can have an extra batter or a bowler, wherever he is needed. That’s what we want him to do, to be mentally ready for the World Cup and just forget what is happening in the IPL and focus on the World Cup, that is more important,” Ojha added.(With IANS inputs)

Mitchell Marsh Gives Update On His Recovery From Hamstring

Danijones7 months ago06 mins

Australia’s new men’s T20I captain Mitchell Marsh said he hopes to get things right in the next three weeks to recover from hamstring injury and achieve full fitness to be ready in time for the World Cup in the USA and the West Indies, when Australia play their first game against Oman on June 6 in Barbados. Marsh has been out of action since April 3 clash for Delhi Capitals due to a right hamstring strain. He flew back home to Perth from IPL 2024 in India to begin his recovery, with Cricket Australia taking charge of it. Eventually, Marsh was ruled out of DC’s campaign, with them drafting Afghanistan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib as his replacement. “If we had to play tomorrow, I’d be in a bit of trouble. Still a couple of weeks away (from full fitness). The timing probably sits perfectly, barring no setbacks. I’ll be on the plane, ready to go.” “The hammy is good, it’s coming along really well. It’s pretty much exactly where we want it to be. It’s one of those things. Just got to get it right over the next three weeks and get on the plane,” said Marsh to reporters in Perth on Thursday. The 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup will be Marsh’s first full-time event as Australia’s skipper in the shortest format, after holding the position in an interim capacity. “Just really proud. It’s not every day you get to captain Australia and lead them to a World Cup. That’s very exciting. But I think one of the best things about our team is that there’s a lot of great leaders in our group.” “One of the biggest things I’ve learned is to not change too much. There’s a lot of preparation and planning that goes into a World Cup, and that’ll happen over the next month. But once we get there, it’s keeping everything nice and relaxed, keeping the environment good, and making sure we go out there and give it our all,” he added. Marsh also revealed he’s in constant communication with ODI and Test skipper Pat Cummins, who captained Australia to World Test Championship and ODI World Cup triumphs last year. For the T20 World Cup, Cummins will be playing under Marsh’s captaincy. “We’re always in communication as mates and, I guess, as leaders. But no real conversations around the cricket side of things, just always checking in on each other. We’re great mates so I’m looking forward to working with him over the next period of time.” Marsh signed off by backing the veteran David Warner to come good in Australia’s T20 World Cup campaign in what will also be his event as an international cricketer after retiring from Tests and ODIs earlier this year. Warner is currently recovering from a hand injury while batting in DC’s match against Lucknow Super Giants on April 12. Though he played in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 20, Warner has been out of action since then. “It’s been a long last hurrah, hasn’t it for Davey? We’re always really excited to have him in the team. Just the experience that he brings.” “I think if we look back at his career. There’s been so many big moments that you need your big experienced players to stand up and Davey has always been one of those. So we’re lucky to have him.” (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.) Topics mentioned in this article

India’s Thomas Cup title defence ends in quarterfinal after 1-3 defeat to China

Danijones7 months ago05 mins

India’s Thomas Cup campaign ended in the quarter-finals when the defending champions lost to powerhouses China 1-3 in Chengdu, China on Thursday, May 2. Lakshya Sen was the lone winner for India as the holders crashed out in a disappointing manner in the prestigious team tournament, which they won two years ago in Bangkok. There were warning signs for India as they were outclassed 1-4 in their final Group C tie by Indonesia on Wednesday. India took the court, less than 24 hours after the draining tie against Indonesia while China had a day’s break before their quarter-final. The fatigue was evident as India’s shuttlers were unable to cope with the intensity of the Chinese stars, who did not need the final match of the quarter-final tie. India’s top-ranked singles shuttler HS Prannoy lost to World No. 2 Shi Yuqi. Despite making a strong start with a win in the opening game, Prannoy was not able to maintain his intensity throughout the contest. Prannoy lost 21-15, 11-21, 14-21 in an hour and 6 minutes. Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, who headed into the quarter-final after a defeat in the tie against Indonesia, were beaten in three games by World No. 1`Liang Wei Keng and Wang Chang. The Indian doubles stars, who played a key role in the Thomas Cup triumph 2 years ago, lost 15-21, 21-11, 12-21. It was a disappointing tournament for Satwik and Chirag as the Olympic medal favourites failed in two crunch ties for India, losing their doubles rubbers against Indonesia and China. LAKSHYA SECURES LONE WIN FOR INDIA Lakshya Sen then kept India’s hopes alive by defeating World No. 6 Li Shi Feng in a come-from-behind victory. Lakshya lost the opening game 13-21, but he fought back and took the match in an hour and 10 minutes. Lakshya raced to a 21-8 win the second game as he swung the momentum in his favour and did not look back. However, India were not able to push the quarter-final contest into the decider as Dhruv Kapila and Sai Pratheek were beaten 10-21, 10-21 to He Ji Ting and Ren Xiang Yu in 34 minutes. India had picked Kiran George for the final singles rubber instead of Kidambi Srikanth. However, Kiran was not needed as China secured the win in the 4th match, sealing a 3-1 win. INDIA BOW OUT OF UBER CUP Earlier in the day, the Indian women’s team showed enough promise for the future despite losing to Japan 3-0 inthe quarter-final of the Uber Cup in Chengdu. Despite the absence of experienced campaigners, including PV Sindhu, India made it to the last eight stage with two convincing wins over Canada and Singapore is a huge shot in the arm for the next generation of women’s singles shuttlers.

All-Rounder Saad Bin Zafar To Lead Canada In T20 World Cup 2024

Danijones7 months ago03 mins

Canada will make its maiden appearance in the Men’s T20 World Cup with all-rounder Saad Bin Zafar, a player of Pakistani origin, set to lead the side in the showpiece event to be held in the Americas. The side, comprising mostly of Indian and Pakistani origin players, is placed in Group A alongside co-hosts USA, India, Pakistan and Ireland. Canada will play its first match against the US in Dallas on June 1, with the side then set to face Ireland on June 7, Pakistan on June 11, and India on June 15. Canada had defeated Bermuda in October last year in the ICC T20 World Cup Americas Region Final, a double round-robin format, for a berth in the T20 World Cup. The Canadians had failed to make it to the global event in the eight previous editions of the T20 World Cup. Saad, 37, who is also a left-arm spinner and has played 38 T20I, is one of the most experienced players in the Canadian side, with top-order batter Aaron Johnson and left-arm seamer Kaleem Sana also expected to feature heavily in the playing XI. The side is coached by former Sri Lankan and Canadian international Pubudu Dassanayake, who took over the reins in 2022. Harsh Thaker, Nicholas Kirton, and Dilpreet Bajwa are the only three players in the side under the age of 30. “Aaron Johnson’s explosive hitting will be critical at the top of the order, as will Kaleem Sana’s pace bowling when Canada is in the field. The all-round skills of Bin Zafar, Thaker, and Dilon Heyliger will be vital to Canada’s hopes of winning on the biggest stage,” said a Cricket Canada statement. Squad: Saad Bin Zafar (C), Aaron Johnson, Dilon Heyliger, Dilpreet Bajwa, Harsh Thaker, Jeremy Gordon, Junaid Siddiqui, Kaleem Sana, Kanwarpal Tathgur (wk), Navneet Dhaliwal, Nicholas Kirton, Pargat Singh, Ravinderpal Singh, Rayyankhan Pathan, Shreyas Movva (wk).

India women beat Bangladesh by 7 wickets in third T20I, take 3-0 unassailable lead | Cricket News

Danijones7 months ago04 mins

NEW DELHI: India continued their dominance in the women’s T20I series, securing an unassailable 3-0 lead by convincingly defeating Bangladesh by seven wickets in the third match held in Sylhet.Opting to field first, captain Harmanpreet Kaur‘s decision proved astute as India’s bowlers delivered a disciplined performance, limiting Bangladesh to 117/8.In reply, India’s openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma exhibited superb batting, constructing a formidable 91-run partnership in just 12.1 overs.Shafali’s explosive innings of 51 off 38 balls and Mandhana’s solid 47 off 42 balls propelled India towards victory, despite their eventual dismissals. Though Ritu Moni and Nahida Akter secured crucial wickets, India had already inflicted significant damage.Despite Bangladesh’s aggressive start, racing to 44 for no loss in the initial six powerplay overs, India’s bowlers regrouped after the dismissal of Dilara Akter, who blazed away to 39 off 25 balls.Dilara’s batting prowess was evident as she negotiated the Indian bowlers effectively, contributing to Bangladesh’s brisk start at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.Despite trailing 0-2 in the series, Bangladesh displayed determination to salvage the contest, especially after their disappointing performance two days earlier.With the T20 World Cup looming, Bangladesh aimed to solidify their middle-order, an area that had posed challenges. Despite Dilara’s efforts, Bangladesh suffered a setback with the run-out of Murshida Khatun (9) by the combination of Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh.In a significant turn of events, medium pacer Renuka Singh, the standout performer from the series opener, struck a crucial blow against Bangladesh.Her deceptive slower delivery on the leg side caught Dilara’s gloves, deflecting the ball to the wicketkeeper, Ghosh, despite the batter’s attempt to play it aggressively over square leg. This unexpected dismissal dealt a setback to the home team’s momentum as the Indian bowlers sought to establish control.By the 10th over, Bangladesh stood at 66 for two, with captain Nigar Sultana and Sobhana Mostary at the crease. However, a lapse in running between the wickets led to Sobhana’s dismissal for 15 off 20 balls, failing to beat Renuka’s accurate throw to the stumps.The momentum further shifted in India’s favor when Fahima Khatun was adjudged lbw off Shreyanka Patil’s first delivery. The dismissal came as Fahima attempted a sweep but missed the line completely, resulting in a swift end to her innings.(With PTI inputs)

India beat Bangladesh by 7 wickets, take 3-0 unassailable lead

Danijones7 months ago04 mins

A dominant India grabbed an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match women’s T20I series as they pummelled Bangladesh by seven wickets in the third match in Sylhet on May 02. After their skipper Harmanpreet Kaur opted to field first looking at the cloud cover and a mild breeze, India’s bowlers dished out another disciplined performance to restrict Bangladesh to 117/8, which the visitors overhauled with nine balls to spare. When they came to bat, openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma put on 91 runs in just 12.1 overs to take India closer to a series win. Shafali got out after a 38-ball 51, hitting eight fours, while Mandhana found form as she struck 47 off 42 balls with the help of five boundaries and a six. Ritu Moni took a blinder off her bowling to dismiss Shafali while Nahida Akter accounted for Mandhana. But the damage was done. Earlier, the decision to bowl first did not yield the desired result immediately, as Bangladesh raced to 44 for no loss in the six powerplay overs. However, the Indian bowlers tightened the screws on the home team batters after the dismissal of Dilara Akter, who blazed away to 39 off 25 balls. The hosts’ brisk start was largely due to the batting of Dilara Akter who struck a few boundaries and negotiated the Indian bowlers without much difficulty early on at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Trailing 0-2 in the five-match series, Bangladesh looked determined to give a better account of themselves and keep the rubber alive, two days after being shot out for 119 at the same venue. With the T20 World Cup around the corner, the objective is to finalise their middle-order, which has been having some difficulty. Even as Dilara kept the scoreboard moving at a fair clip, Bangladesh lost their first wicket when Murshida Khatun (9) was run out by the Deepti Sharma-Richa Ghosh combo. The star performer of the series opener, medium pacer Renuka Singh dealt a big blow on Bangladesh when her slower delivery on the leg side made contact with Dilara’s gloves on its way to Ghosh, even as the batter looked to hit it hard over the square leg region. The soft dismissal hurt the home team as the India bowlers looked to settle into a nice rhythm. At the end of the 10th over, Bangladesh were 66 for two, with their captain Nigar Sultana and Sobhana Mostary in the middle. A poor example of running between the wickets led to the dismissal of Sobhana (15 off 20 balls), the diving batter failing to beat Renuka’s throw at the striker’s end. Fahima Khatun was out the first ball, given lbw off Shreyanka Patil after the new batter shuffled across to sweep the ball but missed the line completely.
