‘Could’ve been anyone’s game’, admits India skipper Rohit Sharma after defeating USA by 7 wickets | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Skipper Rohit Sharma on Wednesday acknowledged the fact that Team India struggled in a below-par chase of 111 despite defeating United States by seven wickets in a T20 World Cup Group A game in New York.With their third win in a row, India qualified for the Super Eight stage riding on a fighting fifty by Suryakumar Yadav and Arshdeep Singh‘s four-wicket haul. The United States faced a challenging start to their innings after being put into bat, with Arshdeep Singh’s devastating spell in the first over. The left-arm pacer claimed the wickets of Shayan Jahangir and Andries Gous, leaving the Americans reeling at 2-2. However, a partnership between Steven Taylor and Nitish Kumar helped stabilize the innings, enabling the United States to post a respectable total of 110-8 in their allotted overs. India’s chase began on a shaky note, as Saurabh Netravalkar struck early, dismissing the experienced duo of Virat Kohli (o) and Rohit Sharma (3) cheaply. With the team in trouble, Suryakumar (50*) and Shivam Dube (31*) took on the responsibility of rebuilding the innings. Yadav’s unbeaten half-century, combined with Dube’s valuable contribution, ensured that India reached the target comfortably, sealing the victory with 10 balls to spare.Rohit gave full credit to the team for chasing down the target as it was going to be a tough task.“We knew it was going to be a tough task, scoring that many. Credit to us for chasing it down. SKY and Dube did well in the end. Lot of the US guys, we’ve played together. Happy with their progress, saw them in MLC too. They’re hard-working guys making a mark. We knew our bowlers had to take the lead as scoring is tough on this pitch,” Rohit said after the match.Rohit, who heaved a big sigh of relief after qualifying for the Super Eight stage, stated that playing in New York pitches wasn’t easy at all.“Arshdeep started off magnificently. We want options with us. As and when we feel like we could use them, we should be and that’s what Dube allowed. Being in the Super Eight is a big relief. Playing here wasn’t easy, could’ve been anyone’s game. Had to stick till the end and take the game as deep as possible. SKY showed he’s got a different game and that’s what you expect from experienced players. Partnership with Dube was crucial,” Rohit added.

NEW DELHI: India survived early hiccups to overcome ‘giant killers’ USA and become the third team to qualify for Super Eight stage after Australia and South Africa.With a seven-wicket victory, India remained unbeaten with their third victory on the trot in Group A after defeating Ireland and Pakistan.Chasing 111, India found themselves at the spot of bother at 3/44 in 7.3 overs. Suryakumar Yadav (50*) and Shivam Dube (31*) restored parity with their unbeaten 67-run stand and took India past the finish line in 18.2 overs.T20 World Cup 2024: Points Table | ScheduleIndia struggled to score runs on the challenging Nassau County track, as they reached 76/3 after 15 overs. Surya and Dube, who were at the crease, found it hard to connect with the ball due to the unpredictable nature of the surface.The match took an unexpected turn when the USA team committed a costly error, awarding India five penalty runs and reducing the equation from 35 off 30 to 30 off 30. This sudden shift in momentum proved to be a turning point of the game.The reason for the co-hosts to have been docked five penalty runs was because USA took more than a minute between overs three times. And per the new rules, that’s a penalty.According to the updated regulations, if a team exceeds the allotted 60 seconds to commence a new over on three occasions within an innings, they will face a penalty of five runs being deducted from their total score.The umpires have enforced this rule, and as a result, USA have been docked 5 penalty runs. This decision was made due to the team’s repeated failure to start their overs within the stipulated time frame. The penalty runs will be added to the opposition’s total, putting the USA team at a disadvantage.

U.S. scare for jittery India as Surya, Arshdeep clinch Super 8 berth for Rohit’s men

After Arshdeep’s career-best 4 for 9 restricted the USA to what looked like a manageable 110 for 8, India made heavy weather of an easy chase on a slightly challenging track before Suryakumar (50 not out off 49 balls) reasserted his status as world’s No. 1 ranked T20 batter. He traded his flamboyance, waiting like a tiger on the prowl for his prey, in the company of Shivam Dube (31 not out off 35 balls), who didn’t inspire much confidence despite the chase being completed in 18.2 overs. The Surya-Dube pair added 67 runs for the unbroken fourth wicket stand. The turning point seemed to be a bit of ignorance about the rules from the U.S. bowlers, who flouted the rule of taking only 60 seconds between the overs on three occasions and conceded five penalty runs at an inopportune time. India needed 35 off 30 balls at that stage when umpire Paul Reiffel informed skipper Aaron Jones about the decision and that effectively ended the U.S. resistance. That was the opportunity Surya waited for as he then finished the match in a jiffy with a flurry of shots. But not before Saurabh Netravalkar (2/18 in 4 overs), the Oracle programmer from Silicon Valley, wrote a couple of perfect codes to remove an out-of-form Virat Kohli (0) with a delivery that shaped away and then bowled a slower one to find the leading edge of former Mumbai senior teammate Rohit Sharma’s willow. Dube once again struggled on a slow track as India were 53 for 3 after 11 overs with 58 more to get in the last 9 overs. The shackles were finally broken when Surya uppishly flicked Ali for a boundary towards mid-wicket and Dube, after an arduous struggle of 25 deliveries, picked Corey Anderson’s slower ball to dispatch him for a six over deep mid-wicket. India will head to Florida for the final group league game against Canada but the weather forecast in Miami is gloomy and that would certainly raise the U.S. team’s spirits as a draw against Ireland would help them knock Pakistan out of the tournament. Having opted to bowl, Arshdeep hardly took his foot off the pedal enjoying career-best figures of 4/9 as USA managed 110 for 8, which was decent if not great if one factored in the track at the Nassau County Cricket ground. After a couple of gallant batting performances in their back-to-back victories, the USA batters found Indian pace attack a few notches above in terms of class and quality. There was hardly a phase of play when the hosts would have felt the noose being loosened around their necks. However, after scoring 42 in the first 10, USA with useful contributions from Nitish Kumar (27), Steven Taylor (24) and former New Zealand international Anderson (15) added another 68 in the back-10. Once Arshdeep got a couple of breakthroughs in the opening over including a first-ball wicket of Shayan Jahangir, there was no looking back for the Indians. They never had a slip up in terms of intensity, mixing up fuller deliveries with ones that were pitched on back of length. The left-arm pacer was fantastic both at the start and at the death bowling an incredible 17 dot balls. Hardik Pandya (2/14) was once again very effective with the ball while Dube’s (0/11) performance wouldn’t raise much hopes for skipper Rohit in terms of a potent bowling option.

With a win, India secured the Super 8 qualification with a game in hand in Group A. New York’s Nassau County International Stadium produced another low-score fixtures with bowlers from both teams dominating batters. Arshdeep Singh produced the best figures for India in tournament history by taking four wickets for nine to restrict the co-hosts to 110 while bowling first. India lost both openers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma early in the powerplay but Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube produced a match-defining 67-run stand for the fourth wicket to chase down a target with ten balls remaining. Suryakumar top-scored with 50* off 49 balls and Dube added 31* runs after struggling for big shots. Rohit fielded the same playing eleven for the third consecutive match after winning the crucial toss.

Why USA were handed five-run penalty during crucial T20 World Cup 2024 game against India? – India TV

Danijones5 months ago03 mins

Image Source : AP Corey Anderson and Shivam Dube during the IND vs USA T20 World Cup 2024 game in New York The United States suffered a morale blow in the crucial stage of the T20 World Cup 2024 game against India in New York on Wednesday, June 12. The officials handed the USA a five-run penalty when they were defending 35 runs in 30 balls at Nassau County International Stadium. On-field umpire Paul Reiffel signalled for the five-run penalty after a talk with the USA’s stand-in skipper Aaron Jones. Umpires pointed out that the USA took more than a minute between overs on three different occasions which caused them to bring a stop clock rule. According to the rule, the team gets five runs deducted from their total after taking a more than minute between overs for three times in an innings. “As per stop clock rule, the fielding side is expected to start a new over within 60 seconds of the completion of the previous over,” the ICC rulebook states. “An electronic clock, counting down from 60 to zero, will be displayed on the ground, with the onus on the third umpire to determine the start of the clock. “The failure of the fielding side to be ready to bowl the first ball of their next over within the stipulated 60 seconds of the previous over being completed attracts two warnings. Subsequent breaches would lead to a five-run penalty per incident.” Meanwhile, a five-run penalty totally ruined the USA’s chances to take the game to the wire. Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube finished the tough chase with seven wickets and ten balls remaining as India stormed into the Super 8 round with three successive wins. India playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj.

India’s Predicted XI Against USA: Rohit Sharma To Make 2 Changes; Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja Out?

Danijones5 months ago03 mins

India Predicted Playing 11 vs USA: India will be squaring off against co-hosts and debutants USA for their next T20 World Cup 2024, Group A match on Wednesday in New York. After pulling-off a stunning victory against Pakistan in a low-scoring thriller, Rohit Sharma and co would be eager to add another win to their brilliant World Cup campaign. On the other hand, USA, who are making their first appearance in the T20 World Cup, left everyone utterly impressed with a surprising Super Over win over Pakistan. The Monank Patel-led side, which is filled with some former Indian players, will look to put up a good show against the might India. In the first two games, India’s weakest link was Shivam Dube. The Chennai Super Kings’ most valued ‘Impact Player’ is finding it tough on two-paced tracks where the ball is gripping and coming late onto the bat. But unlike tactician-par-excellence MS Dhoni, who could bench him during CSK’s bowling in the IPL, national skipper Rohit Sharma doesn’t have such luxury and needs to hide him in areas of the field where the ball is expected to travel less. Dube is a monstrous hitter of spinners on good flat decks and his military medium seam-up stuff does give the Indian skipper cushion to manoeuvre with the bowling combination. But in a format like T20, the team management, which asked for Dube at the expense of Rinku Singh, would want him to come good. Else, there is Yashasvi Jaiswal in the 15, who is a way more rounded batter than the big-bodied Mumbaikar. Two wrist spinners, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, should be given some game time or else they might just enter the Super Eights a bit undercooked in the Caribbean where the pitches will be more spin-friendly.

T20 World Cup: India wait on Shivam Dube to deliver on big stage | Cricket News

Danijones5 months ago06 mins

Big-hitter has struggled to get going so farNEW YORK: There aren’t too many areas that may concern India as they go into their game against the United States, the form of Shivam Dube being an exception. T20 WORLD CUP: SCHEDULE | POINTS TABLEBut then, the pitch at the Nassau County Ground hasn’t been batter-friendly and the big Chennai Super Kings basher hasn’t exactly been brought into this World Cup to play sheet anchor.But what should be a real worry for the team management was the sitter that Dube dropped off Mohammed Rizwan on Sunday at fine-leg, a spill that came close to taking the game away from India.It smacked of self-doubt. Is there a lack of confidence that is hurting the 30-year-old, who has struck a bit of a lean patch since his name was announced for the T20 World Cup? He struggled in the back-end of the IPL and now with the World Cup moving into higher gear, the man with long levers has to step up.What exactly is prompting captain Rohit Sharma to persist with the Mumbai cricketer? From the few interactions that he had with the media in New York, it seems quite evident that the skipper, after the disappointment of the ODI World Cup final, has come here with some set plans.Prime on his agenda is “flexibility in the batting lineup”, whereby no one else other than Virat Kohli and Rohit himself, has a fixed slot. “I have told them that it will be a case of horses for courses. Barring the opening slot, anyone can come anywhere,” Rohit said.He walked the talk in the Pakistan game, when Axar Patel was sent ahead of Dube, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja. The move did pay dividends, to an extent.The two players who can replace Dube in the XI – Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson – are primarily top three batters and Rohit, probably, is a little reluctant to curtail his flexibility.The second important factor, which Rohit prefers to keep a secret, is his plan for the West Indies, where India will play from the Super-8s. As per the skipper’s calculations, the spinners will call the shots in some of the Caribbean venues and that’s where a batter like Dube might be the most dangerous.His monstrous hitting against slower bowlers was one of the talking points of the first phase of the IPL and Rohit, one feels, is trying his best to build Dube’s confidence.In India’s nets sessions at Cantiague Park, another important aspect is the amount of bowling that Dube has done. Owing to the ‘impact sub’ rule, he didn’t get too many chances to bowl his medium-pace in the IPL, but the team management wants to keep him ready as a back-up option for Hardik.“Four allrounders (Hardik, Axar and Jadeja being the three others) allows the team to have a lot of flexibility. I have a lot more options to choose from, which is very important in today’s T20 cricket,” Rohit had said.It’s this template that the skipper has set in his desperation for the elusive ICC silverware that is helping Dube’s cause for the time being.One feels he will get a little more time – specifically the games against USA and Canada – to hit some form so that India can stick to the plans and push for ultimate glory.

‘I prefer Arshdeep over Siraj in the death because of…’: RP Singh on India’s fast-bowling combination in T20 World Cup | Cricket News

Danijones5 months ago06 mins

NEW DELHI: Former India pacer Rudra Pratap Singh believes that Punjab Kings didn’t utilise young Arshdeep Singh effectively during the recently concluded IPL. However, he thinks that the left-arm pacer can prove to be very effective during the death overs at the T20 World Cup, especially alongside Jasprit Bumrah.Arshdeep managed to secure 19 wickets from 14 games in IPL, but his economy rate of 10.03, largely due to facing ‘impact player’ onslaughts, left him somewhat disheartened.RP Singh, who was India’s bowling hero in the 2007 T20 World Cup in South Africa, stated his preference for Arshdeep over Mohammed Siraj for the upcoming tournament.“If we assess Arshdeep on the basis of his IPL performance, I think he hasn’t been utilised well,” RP Singh made these comments in response to a PTI query during a promotional event where the Indian team’s jersey was unveiled for the inaugural World Championship of Legends.“The utilisation of the bowlers also depends on their captain, in which conditions he uses them, in which situation he makes them bowl and how best that he thinks his bowler is.”RP Singh feels that the wicket at Nassau County will be on the slower side and suggests that Arshdeep, instead of bowling pacey length deliveries, should focus on using cutters effectively.“Talking about the length on the tracks in the USA during an early morning start, as per my understanding, there should be a bit of slowness in the wicket. So, the ideal length will be somewhere around just short of good length.“There will be not a lot of swing for the bowlers but the bowlers with variations, not only just yorkers but also slower ones, leg and off cutters. These deliveries will be utilised a bit more by Arshdeep, so the success rate will be automatically higher for him and that’s what I understand about the wickets in the US.”RP also believes that Jasprit Bumrah should ideally bowl three overs in the back-10, as it would apply significant pressure on the opposition batting unit.“Death bowling is really important in T20 cricket. Bumrah may bowl three overs in the death overs. He is our mainstay there. My preference alongside Bumrah in the death is Arshdeep over Siraj because of the variations he has. I think Siraj can be impactful in a game when he is bowling with the new ball. Otherwise, it should be Bumrah and Arshdeep.”Arshdeep’s left-arm action naturally creates challenging angles for right-handed batsmen, making him a crucial asset. Having another left-armer like Khaleel Ahmed in the World T20 reserves adds depth to the bowling unit.“Left arm pacers are always an advantage especially against right-handed batters. It is not like two or more left-arm seamers can’t play together. Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra and I have played in multiple games together.”For achieving the perfect balance, it’s crucial for Hardik Pandya to bowl his full quota of overs. This would provide the team with the flexibility to field three specialist spinners, potentially allowing Yuzvendra Chahal to join Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja in the playing eleven.“Hardik bowled in the IPL and bowled four overs so there’s no injury scare. Hardik’s bowling will be important and he will have to bowl all his quota of 4-overs. If Shivam Dube bowls too, then it will be an added advantage for India ahead.“Shivam may not play some matches initially but whenever he plays, he will perform well and score runs for India.”(With PTI inputs)

Rohit Sharma trains ‘bowler’ Shivam Dube for T20 World Cup ahead of India vs Bangladesh warm-up game

Danijones5 months ago05 mins

India are slated to face Bangladesh at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Saturday in their only warm-up fixture ahead of their opener in the 2024 T20 World Cup, which is on June 5 against Ireland at the same venue. Ahead of the match, India hosted their final practice session with former captain Virat Kohli still absent, but significant aspects remained Rinku Singh’s batting and Shivam Dube’s lengthy chat with captain Rohit Sharma. India had their practice session on Friday ahead of the T20 World Cup warm-up game against Bangladesh Just like on Thursday, India had a three-hour-long practice session on Friday morning as well. Kohli was the only squad member missing, as the 35-year-old was en route to New York to join the Indian side. Kohli had reportedly extended his period of break after the end of his IPL 2024 campaign and, hence, was not part of the first batch of players that left for the World Cup. Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now! Download Now! India started their training session with fielding drills, focusing on flat and high catches under the watchful eyes of fielding coach T Dilip. The focus then shifted to the batting nets, where Suryakumar Yadav spent a considerable time facing throwdowns. Rohit followed in next as he faced the likes of Khaleel Ahmed, Dube, Kuldeep Yadav, Avesh Khan and Ravindra Jadeja, with the captain even practising the reverse sweep against the spinners. During his session, he was also seen having a lengthy chat with Dube about which areas or lengths to bowl, given that it was a drop-in pitch at the Cantiague Park in New York. According to the video released by Star Sports, Rohit can be seen animatedly explaining Dube about the lengths and the type of shots batters can attempt. Dube has been picked as an all-rounder in the Indian team despite getting limited opportunities with the ball in IPL 2024 as the Impact Player reduced his role to a mere middle-order batter. After bowling in the home series against Afghanistan earlier in January, Dube rolled hi arms for only an over in IPL 2024 for Chennai Super Kings, where he also picked a wicket. Unlike Thursday, when Yashasvi Jaiswal had a light training session owing to jet lag, the India opener had a proper session at the nets as he honed his cover drives and pull shots, while Hardik Pandya, once again, had a long batting stint while having regular conversations with batting coach Vikram Rathour throughout his session. Rathour was seen explaining to Hardik about his head position, stance and footwork. Rinku Singh in fluent touch The Kolkata Knight Riders batter may have missed the T20 World Cup squad cut with selectors opting for four spinners in the line-up, leaving Rinku in the reserves category, but the left-hander looked in fluent touch at the nets. According to journalist Vimal Kumar, Rinku looked in flair at the nets. With Kohli most likely to miss the warm-up game against Bangladesh, given that he will be joining the squad on Friday evening, and will be recovering from jet lag on Saturday, India might send Rinku to bat during the match.
