Srikkanth accuses BCCI of ‘favouritism’ in hot-headed rant over Ruturaj Gaikwad snub from T20 World Cup, namedrops Gill | Crickit

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s half-century on Wednesday saw him move to pole position in the IPL 2024 Orange Cap race, overtaking Virat Kohli. The Chennai Super Kings captain smacked 62 runs off 48 balls, packed with five fours and two sixes. He leads the Orange Cap race with 509 runs in 10 matches, at a strike rate of 146.68. He has also bagged a ton and four half-centuries. Shubman Gill has been named in the reserves list and Ruturaj Gaikwad has missed out totally.(PTI) Among Indian openers, he has more runs than Shubman Gill (320), Rohit Sharma (315) and Yashasvi Jaiswal. But it looks like your form in IPL doesn’t really count as the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee decided to ignore Gaikwad for Rohit and Jaiswal in India’s T20 World Cup squad. Meanwhile, they named Gill in the reserves. Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now! Download Now! Speaking on his Youtube channel, India legend Krishnamachari Srikkanth lashed out at the BCCI for their questionable decision. He pointed out Gill’s poor form and also accused the selection committee of ‘favoritism’. “Shubman Gill is totally out of form, but why he’s selected in the team. There’s no doubt that Ruturaj Gaikwad deserves a place. He scored more than 500 runs in 17 innings. Also he scored a century against Australia. Shubman Gill is selectors’ delight. He gets chance even if he fails. He finds place even if he fails in Test, ODIs and T20s.There’s too much of favoritism in selection. The team selection is all about favoritism,” he said. Another notable exclusion has been KL Rahul, who was India’s first-choice wicketkeeper-batter at the 2023 ODI World Cup. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Shreyas Iyer has also missed out on a spot. Shivam Dube’s swashbuckling form with the bat this year has also seen him get selected for the tournament. Riyan Parag has been ignored, but his Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has been included in the squad. Gaikwad will be lamenting on missing out on a ticket to the ICC showpiece event. The opener has shown immense maturity after MS Dhoni handed over CSK’s captaincy to him on the eve of IPL 2024. CSK are currently fourth in the standings and will be hoping to qualify for the playoffs.

South Africa vs Afghanistan Match Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds – Cricket World Cup 2023

Get to Know Who will win SA vs AFG World Cup 2023 match and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, K9Win , Betting Rates, Live score & winning percentage. MATCH: South Africa vs Afghanistan DATE: Nov 10, 2023TIME: 14:00 IST / 8:30 GMTVENUE: Narendra Modi Stadium – Ahmedabad, India TOURNAMENT: Cricket World Cup RSA vs AFG Betting Tips Quinton de Kock has already hit four centuries in this tournament and the 30 year old averages 46.06 from 153 innings in this format. At the top of the order he will attack from ball one in this innings and we are backing him to be South Africa’s highest run scorer in this game. Marco Jansen has taken 17 wickets in the competition with only one pace bowler picking up more dismissals so far. The young left-arm pacer is our pick for South Africa’s top wicket taker in this match.Ibrahim Zadran averages 53.00 from 27 ODI innings and has gone past fifty in ten of those. He does not throw his wicket away and has formed an impressive partnership with Rahmanullah Gurbaz at the top of the order. Zadran is our tip for Afghanistan’s top wicket taker in this game. With a place in the semi-finals on the table, we expect Rashid Khan to be on top form. The leg-spinner is always played with respect by opposition batters but the South Africans will look to attack him. Rashid is a strong choice for Afghanistan’s top wicket taker against South Africa.Although he took only 1 wicket in the last game, the first time he has not taken at least 2 wickets in an innings during this competition, we recommend selecting Marco Jansen to take over 1.5 wickets in this clash. South Africa vs Afghanistan TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Euro Sports Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the K9WIn Cricket Exchange India and website. SA vs AFG ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 42 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup sees South Africa and Afghanistan go head to head in Ahmedabad on Friday. South Africa have already qualified for the semi-finals of the competition whereas Afghanistan are in sixth place but could still finish in the top four with a victory in this clash. Read on as we preview this group stage game. This match begins at the Narendra Modi Stadium at 14:00 local time. South Africa have now suffered two defeats in the competition but their 243 run loss to India in their last game may well be harder for them to come back from than the defeat to the Netherlands. However, they have been playing high quality ODI cricket over recent months and they should have sufficient quality to beat Afghanistan. Afghanistan were on the verge of thrashing Australia on Tuesday before Glenn Maxwell produced one of the greatest ODI innings of all time. It will be interesting to see how Afghanistan’s bowlers respond again in this match if put under pressure by fine attacking players. Beating South Africa will be another very tough assignment for Afghanistan. SA vs AFG Match Toss PredictionThe team batting second has won two of the three matches at this venue in this tournament so we predict that both skippers will choose to field first if they win the toss ahead of this game. SA vs AFG Pitch ReportThe pitch offers quite a bit of assistance to the bowlers at the Narendra Modi Stadium as there is not a huge amount of pace in the wicket. A score of 300+ in the first innings should be enough to win the match. Ahmedabad Weather ReportHumidity will not be an issue in this fixture as the level will not go above 30% across both innings. The temperature will be above 30 degrees with no threat of rain. Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for South Africa vs Afghanistan, World Cup 2023

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh, AFG vs BAN 2024, Today Match Prediction

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh, AFG vs BAN 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 09, Saturday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 2nd ODI 2024 Afghanistan eye a series-winning lead in the 2nd ODI Afghanistan vs Bangladesh TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. AFG vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis Afghanistan are on a roll with 5 wins from their last 6 ODIs, including a series win against South Africa at this venue in Sharjah. The 18-year off-break bowler Allah Ghaznafar picked 6 wickets in the opening match against Bangladesh to lead his team to a 92-run win. Bangladesh bowlers did a great job in restricting the opposition to a low total but the batters failed big time. They’ve got all the experienced batters in the top and middle order and a 92-run loss while chasing 236 isn’t expected of this side. TEAMS PREVIEW Afghanistan Preview Skipper Hasmatullah Shahidi scored a slow and cautious half-century in the opening game as others around him failed to get going. 3 of the top 5 batters failed to score double digits while opener Sediqullah Atal scored 21 off 30 balls with 3 fours in his innings. This will be a concern for Afghanistan coming into this match. They will hope for the top-order batters to deliver a good start and a few strong partnerships so that the reliable and experienced players in the middle order can build on that foundation to lead the team to a big total. Bangladesh Preview Bangladesh will be disappointed after the huge loss in the first ODI. It was after 3 consecutive wins against Afghanistan that Bangladesh suffered a defeat. This is their second one-day series of 2024. In their previous series, Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka 3-1 at home. Opener Tanzid Hasan, number 3 Najmul Hossain Shanto, and wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim at number 6 were among the match-winners for Bangladesh in that series. Weather Conditions It will be clear and sunny with a high of 32 degrees Celsius in Sharjah on the match day. The weather will not affect the match and we can expect a complete 50-over-a-side match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. AFG vs BAN Pitch Report It is a bowling-friendly wicket where spinners have enjoyed great help in the past. Moreover, in the second innings, batting gets even more difficult. There have been some high-scoring games here in the past but overall, bowlers have the upper hand on this ground. The average 1st innings score at this venue is 232 runs. We reckon a 1st innings total of 260+ should be a match-winning total in this game Toss: To Bat The highest total successfully chased at this venue in ODIs is 185 runs. Teams batting first have won 7 of the last 10 matches played on this ground. The last match saw bowlers enjoy the upper hand here and we reckon defending a total will be the ideal choice for both teams.

Justin Langer drops India coach plan after Rahul’s caution

Justin Langer drops India coach plan after Rahul’s caution

Lucknow Super Giants coach Justin Langer with captain K.L. Rahul | Photo Credit: Sandeep Saxena Former Australian cricketer Justin Langer was enticed by the prospect of becoming India’s head coach but K.L. Rahul’s word of caution regarding the “pressure and politics” that come with the job dissuaded him from pursuing the “amazing” opportunity. Langer, who served as Lucknow Super Giants’ head coach this IPL season, recalled a chat with franchise skipper and a senior member of the Indian team Rahul. Never say never, but… “You never say never. And the pressure of doing it in India… I was talking to KL (Rahul) and he said, ‘You know, if you think there’s pressure and politics in an IPL team, multiply that by a thousand… (that’s) coaching India,” said Langer. “That was a good bit of advice, I guess. It would be an amazing job, (but) I have (put myself out of contention),” he added. Before taking up the assignment with Super Giants this year, Langer had coached Australia from May 2018 to February 2022, helping the team navigate a difficult period in the aftermath of the infamous ball-tampering scandal. Under Langer’s guidance, Australia lifted its first-ever T20 World Cup title and also went on to win the Ashes. “I also know that it’s an all-encompassing role, and having done it for four years with the Australian team, honestly, it’s exhausting. And that’s the Australian job!,” the 53-year-old said. The BCCI has invited fresh applications for the head coach position, with a deadline set for May 27 as Rahul Dravid is set to exit after the T20 World Cup.

HEA vs SCO T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2024 Brisbane Heat take on Perth Scorchers in Match 32 of the 2023/24 Big Bash League on Wednesday evening at the Gabba. Top of the table and still unbeaten, Brisbane Heat are setting the pace so far this season with Perth Scorchers, the champions in 2021/22 and 2022/23 BBL, three points behind them, with a game in hand, in second. This match gets underway at 18:40 local time. In spite of posting a total of only 132/7 in their last game, Brisbane Heat were still able to get over the winning line thanks to their bowling attack. However, if they are to maintain their unbeaten record, they will need to produce more runs in this match. Many pundits were surprised when Perth Scorchers were well beaten by Adelaide Strikers in Match 27 but Aaron Hardie’s side were back to their best against Sydney Thunder on Monday. They will have no fear as they take on the top of the table team. HEA vs SCO Match Toss PredictionBrisbane Heat were asked to bat first in the last game at the Gabba and went on to win the match. However, we predict that both teams will want to field first in this fixture. HEA vs SCO Pitch ReportThe pitch at the Gabba has got harder to bat on as the tournament has progressed. We can expect a two-paced surface with a par score no higher than 155. Brisbane Weather ReportDue to wet weather, DLS was required in the last game at this venue, with the previous one not seeing one ball bowled. There could be some rain early on in this match but after that dry and humid conditions are forecast.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Match 47 of the 2024 Indian Premier League sees Kolkata Knight Riders go head to head with Delhi Capitals on Monday evening at Eden Gardens. KKR have won five of their eight matches with Delhi Capitals on the same number of points but from two additional games. Read on as we preview this clash. The game begins in Kolkata at 19:30 local time on Monday 29th April. KKR thought they were home and dry after posting 261/6 batting first against Punjab Kings on Friday but the pitch seemed to get easier to bat on as the match progressed and they lost with 8 balls remaining. We can expect an even more aggressive batting approach in this game as a result. Delhi Capitals are certainly the most improved side in the tournament and they have completely turned their season around from the point when they had only one win from the first five matches! They will arrive in Kolkata full of confidence but this will be a very tough clash. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals Match Toss PredictionEyebrows were raised when Sam Curran chose to field first at this ground on Friday but in spite of his side conceding 261/6, they were still able to win the match with time to spare! As a result, we predict that both skippers will want to field first in this game. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals Pitch ReportIn the last game at Eden Gardens we saw an incredible 523 runs and only eight wickets fall. Runs came easily throughout both innings and batters will be expected to hit boundaries from their first ball at the crease. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of at least 250 but even that may not be enough! Kolkata Weather ReportThere will be no cloud cover throughout any of this match on Monday with the temperature likely to drop from around 36 degrees to 33 degrees. The humidity levels are predicted to go above 65% by the end of the contest.
