Riyan Parag For “T20 World Cup”? Ex-India Star Says He ‘Won’t Be Surprised’

Danijones9 months ago03 mins

Wasim Jaffer feels Riyan Parag might be considered for a place in the T20 World Cup.© BCCI Former India batter Wasim Jaffer suggested that he won’t be surprised if Rajasthan Royals (RR) all-rounder Riyan Parag is considered for a place in the 15-man squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in West Indies and the USA. For years, the young right-handed batter faced trolls and criticism for his poor performances for RR. However, Parag has looked like a completely different player this season, and he is second in the list of highest run-scorers with 261 runs to his name in five matches. Read here: IPL 2024 Points Table Jaffer believes Parag might be on the list of names being considered for India’s T20 World Cup squad. “Looking at his form, I won’t be surprised if selectors are considering him for the T20 World Cup. The way he has played shows consistency, and I won’t be surprised if we see him there,” the former PBKS batting coach said on ESPNcricinfo. Jaffer also explained the reason behind Parag’s redemption arc and how the players has manage to shine this season, unlike the previous editions. “Riyan Parag is emerging to be a sensational player in this IPL. It’s pretty refreshing to see a young player performing like this. He has performed in the domestic cricket for Assam, and he’s carrying that form. The no.4 suits him better, as he gets some time to settle.” “The hard work is showing. He is fitter, and he looks composed. His shot selection is good; he has faced significant trolling over the past few years; he also played the difficult role of a finisher, but the Royals kept their faith in him. It feels like he has the right number now, and he is in the right frame of mind, too. He looks dedicated to proving everyone wrong,” he added. Only Virat Kohli (319) has scored more runs than Parag (261) in the ongoing IPL season. However, he will have a chance to overtake him when RR take on Punjab Kings on Saturday.

Is ‘Vice-Captain’ Pandya Really A Certainty For T20 World Cup 2024?

Danijones9 months ago08 mins

Hardik Pandya’s possible inclusion in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad has sparked debate among cricket experts and fans of late. The 30-year-old has been a major talking point during the first three weeks of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Ever since Pandya was announced as Mumbai Indians’ new captain in place of India’s all-format skipper Rohit Sharma ahead of IPL 2024, the controversial decision has received widespread disappointment from fans. MI’s newly-appointed captain has been booed heavily at various stadiums, including at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad as well at Mumbai’s home ground – the Wankhede Stadium. Furthermore, MI started their IPL 2024 campaign with three consecutive losses under Hardik’s leadership although the five-time IPL winners have bounced back with back-to-back wins in their next two games. Fitness and finishing ability concerns Apart from Hardik’s captaincy, his all-round form and finishing ability have been under scanner in the ongoing IPL. Indian cricket team’s limited-overs vice-captain, Hardik has scored 129 runs in five matches for MI this season. The hard-hitting batter showed glimpses of regaining form after he slammed an unbeaten 21 runs off just six balls against Royals Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to help MI chase down 197 in just 15.3 overs at the Wankhede on Thursday. Additionally, there have been questions about Hardik’s fitness for ICC’s marquee T20 tournament. The Indian all-rounder has endured his fair share of fitness concerns over the years and has cut down on his workload with the ball to get the best out of him from an all-round perspective. The Gujarat-born cricketer has bowled just eight overs in five matches in IPL 2024, picking just a solitary wicket at an economy of 11.13. Hardik recently made a comeback in IPL 2024 after he was ruled out of ICC ODI World Cup 2023 having sustained an ankle injury against Bangladesh in October. The Rohit Sharma-led India, of course, will need a fully-fit Hardik at the T20 World Cup 2024 to be held in the West Indies and the United States. In-form Shivam Dube could pip Hardik Pandya While Hardik’s all-round capabilities provide Team India great balance in the T20 format, if he’s not fully fit then the likes of Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh could be better picks as finishers in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad. Former India fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad has voiced support for Shivam Dube’s inclusion in the upcoming T20 World Cup squad. “Shivam Dube for his striking ability against spinners, Surya for being the best T20 international batter and Rinku Singh for his exceptional finishing ability. It will be great if India finds a way to have these 3 in the 11 in the T20 WC. With Virat and Rohit, this will leave a spot for just a keeper batsman. Interesting to see how it pans out,” Prasad posted on X (formerly Twitter). Chennai Super Kings’ Shivam Dube has been in impressive form in IPL 2024. Batting in the middle-order, Dube has amassed 176 runs in five matches at an average of 44 and a strike rate of 160. He has hit 10 fours and 13 sixes so far. Apart from Prasad, former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has stated that Dube must be included in India’s T20 World Cup squad. “Good to watch@IamShivamDube clearing the field with ease!! I feel he has to be in the World Cup squad. Has got the skill to be the #gamechanger,” Yuvraj wrote on X. Earlier, India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin urged India to pick Dube in the T20 World Cup squad after his brilliant performances against Afghanistan in a three-match series in January. “Hardik Pandya is an indispensable member of the Indian team. However, with Shivam Dube’s emergence, especially in conditions similar to CSK in the West Indies, he becomes a spin-hitting monster,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel. “I can proudly call him a ‘Yuvraj Singh lite’ package. There are so many facets of Yuvraj Singh that I see in his game – the downswing, the height, and the reach. I’m not saying he’s exactly like Yuvraj Singh, but he reminds me a lot of him. The beauty here is that he hits spin straight down the ground,” Ashwin added. With Hardik facing strong competition from Shivam Dube, he will need to prove his fitness as well as impress the selectors with his all-round game in the remaining games for MI before the squad is finalised. The Indian cricket team’s 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup is likely to be announced in the last week of April and vice-captain Hardik’s spot still remains uncertain as of now. While a return to form and maintaining his fitness will most likely see Hardik make the cut for the T20 World Cup, judging by the all-rounder’s recent form when batting in death overs as well as his fitness issues, it’s safe to say that the 30-year-old’s inclusion in the squad is certainly not a given.

“Picture Of The Year”: MS Dhoni Re-United With World Cup At The Venue Of 2011 Triumph. Internet On Overdrive

Danijones9 months ago04 mins

MS Dhoni is one iconic cricket captain. Recently, a video of Gautam Gambhir went viral where he said that Dhoni would remain the most successful Indian cricket team captain. The former star had every reason to say so. No other captain has won the ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy and also taken the team to No. 1 ranking in Tests. From 2007, MS Dhoni’s charisma on the field meant that Indian cricket team was an indomitable force. Read here: IPL 2024 points table While MS Dhoni won many accolades, the one ever-lasting image that the great produced was in the final of the 2011 ODI World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai when he hit Sri Lanka’s Nuwan Kulasekara for a six to win the marquee event for India. He stayed unbeaten on 91 as India clinched their second-ever ODI World Cup title. That was the last time India won the ODI World Cup. MS DHoni is back at the Wankhede Stadium. This time he will be playing for Chennai Super Kings against Mumbai Indians in an IPL 2024 match. Ahead of the match, MS Dhoni came fact to face with the 2011 World Cup trophy on Saturday and the image has gone viral. Some are referring to it as the ‘picture of the year.’ Dream of many captains MS Dhoni with iconic 2011 World Cup Trophy – Picture of the year. pic.twitter.com/cszhlEjy4j — (@AloneSoul_ABU) April 13, 2024 91K likes needed for this picture.

Ravindra Jadeja had earlier tried and failed to replace Dhoni as the CSK captain in 2022 but the support from fans and team management made one thing very clear – Gaikwad is the choice for the future and the entire ‘Yellow Army’ was behind him this time. However, what did not stop was the chatter on how much influence Dhoni will have on the pitch. Hailed as one of the master tacticians of the game, Dhoni had proven in the past that he is capable of changing any game just by his acumen. As a result, the conversations never stopped and it even led to some experts wondering out loud about how much Gaikwad will be able to exercise his control over the team.

“MS Dhoni Blames IPL Parties For T20 World Cup Exit”: RCB’s Old Post Resurfaces, Internet Puzzled

Danijones9 months ago9 months ago05 mins

File photo of MS Dhoni© BCCI/IPL The internet can be a funny place. Often it throws up posts and comments which surprises all. Old posts which was long lost from public memory, suddenly resurfaces without any context. One such post again came light on Saturday. The post was made on May 12, 2010 from the official handle of IPL team Royal Challengers Bengaluru. “Dhoni blames IPL parties for T20 World Cup exit… What do you think??? Via Allen,” the post read. The post again came to light as a X handle ‘TukTuk Academy’ reposted it along with the scorecard of a match where Irfan Pathan scored 26 off 30 balls while other Indian batters failed. It is not known which match’s scorecard the handle shared. But 13-year-old post is a genuine one done from RCB’s official handle. While India won the 2007 T20 World Cup under the leadership of Dhoni, it was knocked out of the Super Eight Stage in the 2010 edition. “Most of the players were fit and fresh. Players also need to be smart, not only about cricket but about other things going around in the IPL. We have to respect your body and give some time for it to recover because there is more to it than playing matches. Attending parties and travelling takes a toll,” Dhoni had said in 2010 on India’s T20 World Cup exit. Dhoni blames IPL parties for T20 World Cup exit… What do you think??? Via Allen — Royal Challengers Bengaluru (@RCBTweets) May 12, 2010 MS Dhoni’s fan following has got no bounds. The former India captain called time on his international cricket career in 2020 and since that he has been available only for the Indian Premier League, playing for Chennai Super Kings. It means that the Dhoni fans have to wait for around ten months to see their favourite player in action. Despite the lack of appearance among fans in the past three-four years, Dhoni’s craze has only increased with the passage of time. The study of the official TV broadcaster for IPL 2024 too backs this opinion with some unique data. Shame on Irfan Pathan for scoring 26 runs in 30 balls pic.twitter.com/oU6kUUOliS — TukTuk Academy (@TukTuk_Academy) April 13, 2024 Star Sports has come up with the technology of calculating the crowd’s noise levels at different junctures during the course of the tournament and Dhoni holds the top two spots. As per the data, the top noise from the crowd is 130 Decibel which was attainted during Dhoni’s entry into the MA Chidambaram Stadium before the toss for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings match, which happened to be the opening game of the ongoing tournament. At the joint-second spot in the list is the moment when Dhoni smashed a four against Delhi Capitals in the 17th over. The crowd’s noise peaked in the game at that moment with a record of 128 Decibel. Coming in at the 8th position in the match, this was the first time Dhoni batted in IPL 2024.

Only Jasprit Bumrah has taken more wickets in the series than Tom Hartley and we have the left-arm spinner as England’s top wicket taker in this game.Although he may not make another double century, we recommend selecting Yashasvi Jaiswal to hit at least 31.5 runs in the first innings in Ranchi.

England won the opener in Hyderabad before India levelled the series in Vizag. Read on as we preview this fourth Test in Ranchi. This match gets underway at the JSCA International Stadium Complex at 09:30 local time on Friday 23rd February. India looked to be in a worrying position at the end of Day 2 in Ranchi but then were able to take control, dominate and finally thrash England in the third Test. Although they will be weaker without Jasprit Bumrah, we still expect them to get another victory. Although England let a very strong position turn into one of their heaviest defeats in the last Test, this game begins with both teams on zero on Friday. England will play aggressively throughout the match but we expect the pitch to turn a lot which will make things incredibly tough for the tourists.

James Anderson took five wickets in Vizag and the 41 year old still looks as accurate as ever.

The game begins at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium at 09:30 local time on Thursday 15th February. India produced quality with the bat when it mattered in the second Test of the series and, although they will still not be at full strength for this game, we expect their experience in home conditions to be crucial. India will once again be expecting to get a win in this Test. England left themselves with too much of a mountain to climb in the second half of the Test in Vizag after facing a first innings deficit of 143 runs. They will certainly be competitive again in this game and will take the attack to India but they must produce more runs in the first innings. IND vs ENG Match Toss PredictionThe best time to bat in Rajkot is always over the first two and a half days so we predict that both teams will want to bat first if they win the toss ahead of this Test. IND vs ENG Pitch ReportThere is a bit of a green covering over the pitch but we do not expect it to last much beyond the first session. The pitch will then dry out and a par score in the first innings will be at least 450.

However, they lost their last away Test and India will be a very tough opponent in Hyderabad.

Axar Patel took 2/23 in Mohali and the left-arm spinner is well worth backing as India’s top wicket taker in the second game of the series.Ibrahim Zadran has scored over 2000 international runs and he batted at a good rate in Mohali. The skipper is a strong choice for Afghanistan’s highest run scorer in this match. Mujeeb Ur Rahman took 2/21 and bowled a maiden in the opening T20I. The tall off-spinner is our pick for Afghanistan’s top wicket taker in Indore.After his disappointing and early dismissal on Thursday, we recommend backing Rohit Sharma to hit over 31.5 runs in this game. India vs Afghanistan 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. IND vs AFG 2nd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips India and Afghanistan go head to head in the second game of the three-match T20I series on Sunday afternoon in Indore. On a cold Thursday evening in Mohali, India went 1-0 up with a 6 wicket victory and another home win in this game will see the series decided ahead of the final fixture. Read on as we preview this match. This second T20I gets underway at 19:00 local time at the Holkar Cricket Stadium. India never really looked in trouble in the opening game of the series and they will travel to Indore expecting to take an unassailable 2-0 lead. The return of Virat Kohli to their line-up will only make their batting stronger for this second match. Although they were comfortably beaten on Thursday, Afghanistan can certainly take some positives from some of the batting partnerships and the spin bowling of Mujeeb. However, they will need the entire team to step up a level or two to really compete on Sunday. IND vs AFG Match Toss PredictionOf the three previous T20Is at this venue, two have been won by the team batting first. Therefore, we expect that both sides will want to bat first in this game. IND vs AFG Pitch ReportThere were 405 runs scored in the last T20I at the Holkar Stadium and we can expect to see another good batting pitch on Sunday evening in Indore. Indore Weather ReportAlthough it will not be anywhere near as cold as it was in Mohali, the temperature is unlikely to be above 20 degrees at any point in this game. Clear skies are forecast throughout. Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for India vs Afghanistan 2nd T20 2024
