"Rohit Sharma Spoke To Me...": Kuldeep Yadav On Captain's Role In Improving His Batting

“Rohit Sharma Spoke To Me…”: Kuldeep Yadav On Captain’s Role In Improving His Batting

Danijones05 mins

New Delhi : Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav said that skipper Rohit Sharma helped him improve his batting skills during the five-match Test series against England at home from January to March this year. Kuldeep was speaking at a press event in Delhi ahead of his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise’s Delhi Capitals (DC) game against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. In India’s 4-1 triumph over England at home, Kuldeep had a very valuable role to play, not only with the ball as expected, but surprisingly with the bat as well. Not only he took 19 wickets in four games, including a five-wicket haul, but he also scored 97 runs in six innings at an average of 19.40, with the best score of 30. He would often find himself in situations that could make or break the match for India. With a solid defence, he would hold his end steady and allow the other batter to attack in pursuit of match-saving total or a match-winning target. Also, during his side’s IPL game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens on May 29, Kuldeep scored a valuable 35* in 26 balls with five fours and a six, taking his team to a respectable total of 153/9. Though DC lost the game, Kuldeep top-scored for his side and added another feather to his growing reputation as a capable batter. Speaking at the event, Kuldeep said Rohit does not talk much to him regarding his bowling because he is delivering at his role. However, Rohit was concerned about his batting and helped him get better at it by speaking about the nuances of the discipline during nets. “Rohit bhai does not talk to me much about bowling because I am doing what he wants from me with the ball,” Kuldeep said. “He was concerned about my batting. He told me to improve my batting. I worked on it during the Test series against England [at home earlier this year] and he was impressed by my hard work. He used to be with me in the nets and speak to me about the nuances of batting. This helped me a lot and now I am enjoying my batting as much as my bowling,” said Kuldeep. Coming to the IPL, DC will be taking on RR at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. Delhi (10 points) is in the sixth position in the season with five wins, and six losses. RR is at the second spot, with eight wins and two losses, giving them 16 points. DC lost their previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by seven wickets, while RR lost theirs to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

Image Source : AP USA began their maiden T20 World Cup campaign with a solid win against Canada and will be looking to upset Pakistan in their second game in Dallas USA cricket team, the co-hosts of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, kicked off their campaign with a come-from-behind victory against their oldest rivals Canada in Dallas on the opening day of the tournament. The way Aaron Jones and Andries Gous chased down 197 runs from being 48/2 in eight overs showed that USA have the capability to win games at this level and it won’t be a surprise if they topple one of two more fancied sides and hence, Pakistan wouldn’t want to take them lightly. Pakistan are coming off a 2-0 loss against England and hence will be a little short on confidence but a win against the co-hosts on Thursday, June 6, could help them attain some momentum before the much-anticipated game against India a few days later. Pakistan will need to get their batting order and intent right to be able to win games in the format as they have been inconsistent of late. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan will need to lead by example for the bowlers to follow as they have a sensational bowling attack. USA will hope that they stay true to their captain’s words of playing with same intent irrespective of the opposition.

Angry Sunil Gavaskar Blasts Virat Kohli's Rant. Says, "Don't Have Agenda, Why Are You Replying To Outside Noise"

Angry Sunil Gavaskar Blasts Virat Kohli’s Rant. Says, “Don’t Have Agenda, Why Are You Replying To Outside Noise”

Danijones05 mins

Sunil Gavaskar, former Indian cricket team captain, on Saturday launched a never-heard-before attack on Virat Kohli for his recent comments about critics. “Not really, all the people who talk about strike-rates and me not playing spin well are the ones talking about this stuff. For me, it’s about winning the games for the team and there’s a reason why you’ve done it for 15 years, you’ve done this day in and day out, you’ve won games for your teams, I’m not quite sure that if you haven’t been in that situation yourself, to sit and talk about the game in the box. For me, people can talk about their assumptions day in and day out, but those who have done day in and day out, they know what’s happening and it’s a kind of muscle memory for me now,” Kohli said after an IPL match. Sunil Gavaskar referred to the interview ahead of the RCB vs GT match on Saturday and launched a scathing attack. The batting legend felt that such comments was a direct insult to the knowledge of the former cricketers who are working as experts. Throughout the rant by Sunil Gavaskar, Virat Kohli’s visuals were being shown in split screen. “Commentators questioned only when his strike rate was 118. I’m not too sure. I don’t watch too many matches, so I don’t know what the other commentators have said otherwise. But if you come and open and then have a strike of 118 when you get out in the 14th or the 15th over, I mean, if you want applause for that, that’s a little bit different. That’s different,,” said Gavaskar on Star Sports. Gavaskar owning kohli pic.twitter.com/g5j2WiVtJW — ‘ (@Dhoniverse_) May 4, 2024 He added that stars like Kohli should not bother to respond on ‘outside noise’ if they don’t care about it. “All these guys talk about, ‘oh we don’t care about outside noise’. Accha! Then why are you replying to any outside noise or whatever it is. We all played a bit of cricket, not a lot of cricket. We don’t have agendas. We speak about what we see. We don’t necessarily have any likes and dislikes. Even if we have likes and dislikes, we actually speak on what is happening,” Gavaskar said. So according to Gavaskar saab, no matter how much people cry on kohli everyday Kohli shouldn’t reply his critics pic.twitter.com/9yiAYtXrg8 — POTT (@KlolZone) May 4, 2024 The former Indian cricket team skipper even criticised IPL’s official broadcasters for showing Kohli’s interview time and again. “I hope Star Sports realises that when that clip is shown, questioning the critics, the critics are your own commentators. For you to show the person belittling your own commentators, I’m not sure that’s a great thing. You need to realise you have shown it enough times, everybody’s got the message. I would be very disappointed if you show it once more.” Topics mentioned in this article

Hardik Pandya blames top-order collapse for defeat against Lucknow Super Giants | Cricket News

Hardik Pandya blames top-order collapse for defeat against Lucknow Super Giants | Cricket News

Danijones03 mins

NEW DELHI: As Mumbai Indians succumbed to their seventh defeat of the season, this time against Lucknow Super Giants, skipper Hardik Pandya said loss of early wickets led to their down fall at the Ekana. After being put in to bat by KL Rahul, MI found themselves tottering at 28 for four after powerplay with pacers Mohsin Khan, Marcus Stoinis and Naveen-ul-Haq doing the early damage. Rohit Sharma (4), Suryakumar Yadav (10), Tilak Varma (7) and Hardik (0) all fell cheaply as Ishan Kishan (32) and Nehal Wadhera (46) and Tim David (35) somehow took them to a par total.Hardik said loss of wickets in a cluster in powerplay hurt them badly and they were never able to fully recover from that. “Definitely, losing early wickets in the powerplay is tough to recover from. Where we needed the most, we could not do well,” Hardik said in the post-match presentation. On being asked if high scores this season have put more pressure on the batters early, Hardik said, “Not really, you still have to see the ball and hit. The wicket was good. The ball was there to be hit and we just missed, that sort of season for us so far. I have always believed that whenever you take to the field, sometimes you will be down, sometimes you will be up, and you have to fight. It looks difficult but there are a lot of things you can learn from this game.”Amid MI’s freefall against LSG, Wadhera stood out, notching up a solid 41-ball 46 and Hardik was quick in praising the responsible effort from the youngster. “He has been fantastic, the way he batted against Rajasthan and tonight. He did fantastic last year as well. It was because of the team combination that he could not play early. Looking at his talent, he will play for a lot of years for Mumbai and for India eventually,” Hardik added. With 7 losses in 10 matches, MI are at the ninth spot. A victory on the other hand, lifted Lucknow to third spot.
