The Men in Blue will enter the ninth edition of the tournament as the no.1 side in the ICC rankings and are favourites to mount a title challenge. India relatively face easy road to Super 8 having drawn with USA, Canada, Ireland and Pakistan in Group A. India won the opening edition of the tournament in 2007 and reached the finals in 2014. But the Rohit Sharma-led Indian side failed to impress in last three editions with just 10 wins oon 16 matches. In head-to-head records, India enjoy dominant history against Pakistan in past T20 World Cup editions but remain without a win against New Zealand and Sri Lanka. Indian cricket team has played 44 matches in the first eight T20 World Cup editions and have won 28 times. Notably, India have played against 14 different teams in tournament history and maintain unbeaten record against 7 teams. Against neighbours Pakistan, India have won the highest six wins in seven meetings so far. India boast all-win record against Bangladesh and defeated South Africa four times in six encounters.

Vaughan's 'better preparation to play IPL than face Pakistan' statement receives approval from ex-PAK star

Vaughan’s ‘better preparation to play IPL than face Pakistan’ statement receives approval from ex-PAK star

Danijones05 mins

England and Pakistan are preparing for the 2024 T20 World Cup by facing each other in a four-match T20I series. However, the preparations have been hampered somewhat with two of the three matches that have taken place thus far being washed out. The second T20I, the only game in the series that could take place thus far, was a rather one-sided affair with England comfortably winning it by 23 runs. While much of the league stage of the tournament was done, captain Jos Buttler, Will Jacks, Phil Salt and Reece Topley could have all played a part in the playoffs England pulled their players out of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) for playing in this series. While much of the league stage of the tournament was done, captain Jos Buttler, Will Jacks, Phil Salt and Reece Topley could have all played a part in the playoffs. In the case of Salt, he could have played in the final as well, where his side Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) beat the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to win their third IPL title. Former England captain Michael Vaughan said that playing in the high pressure environment of the IPL playoffs would have been better preparation for the players instead of playing a T20I series at home against Pakistan. Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now! Download Now! The comment caused a bit of a stir among Pakistan fans but former wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal has now said that he agrees with Vaughan, even though his opinion is a “painful” one. “Over the past few days, I have wondered why a former England captain is commenting and taking Pakistan cricket non-seriously. It has been a painful thought, but I think he was correct in his assessment,” Akmal said on his YouTube channel. “Everybody knows the level of Pakistan cricket. We are losing against smaller teams like Ireland and in that sense Vaughan said that it is not a tough series. So the fault is ours. Had it been any other team like New Zealand, South Africa and India then Vaughan would not have said it,” he added. “We need to understand that in IPL, the best bowlers and batters are participating with crowds of 40 to 50,000. So it is tough cricket and quality cricket,” he explained. The absence of England players made a significant difference to the IPL teams with Rajasthan Royals missing the services of Buttler at the top of the order. KKR also missed the solidity provided by Salt and Sunil Narine at the top of the order. Jacks played a significant role in RCB’s extraordinary revival in the league stage.

Watch: Virat Kohli leaves for the USA, gives autograph to fan at Mumbai Airport

Danijones04 mins

Virat Kohli has left for the USA for the T20 World Cup from Mumbai. Kohli was spotted at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Airport, Mumbai during the evening of May 30, Thursday. In a heart-warming gesture, Kohli stopped to give an autograph to a young fan at the airport. The star India batter was surrounded by media personnel, who thanked Kohli for giving them an amazing gift. Kohli and wife Anushka Sharma had sent out thoughtful gift hampers to the paparazzi for safeguarding and respecting their kids, Vamika and Akaay’s privacy. On being thanked by the media, Kohli was quick to point out that it was Anushka’s idea, yet again showing his love and admiration for his wife. A couple of fans came to click a picture with Kohli, who had opted for a monotone airport look with a beige cap and beige shirt. Kohli did not join the first batch of the Indian team, who flew to New York from Mumbai on June 25. Why Kohli did not fly earlier? Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja were amongst the first batch of Indian cricketers who left for the US ahead of the T20 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the USA and the West Indies from June 1 to June 29. Kohli remained to be the only player who was yet to join the team in the Americas. He could not travel earlier due to paper work issues. After a gruelling IPL 2024, Kohli also got a chance to spend some precious time with his family. He was recently spotted outside a popular Mumbai eatery alongside wife Anushka. The celebrity couple went out for dinner with India’s former pacer Zaheer Khan and wife Sagarika Ghatge. Popular TV broadcaster Gaurav Kapur also accompanied the 2 cricketers and their partners. Kohli had a spectacular run in IPL 2024 as he was awarded the Orange Cape with 714 runs in 15 matches. The 35-year-old will look to continue his impeccable form in the T20 World Cup as well. Meanwhile, the Indian team have begun their training camp in New York and will play their warm-up game against Bangladesh on June 1. Published By: Diya Kakkar Published On: May 30, 2024

NEW DELHI: As the cricket world gears up for the upcoming T20 World Cup, set to commence on June 2 in the USA and West Indies, discussions among former players and pundits often revolve around predicting the tournament’s standout performers. Former India captain Virat Kohli frequently tops the list of players expected to dominate the run-scoring charts and capture the spotlight.Interestingly, the legendary Australian wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist has offered a surprising perspective on the matter. Deviating from the popular opinion surrounding Kohli’s anticipated success, Gilchrist has chosen David Warner to finish as the highest run-scorer of the tournament.On the Club Prairie Fire Podcast, Adam Gilchrist mentioned that the Australian opener will have one last dance before retiring after the World Cup. Meanwhile, on the same podcast, former England captain Michael Vaughan predicted that Virat Kohli will score the most runs in the tournament.When selecting the player likely to finish as the highest wicket-taker of the tournament, Gilchrist chose Kuldeep Yadav, whereas Vaughan opted for Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa.Kohli has ended the Indian Premier League season 2024 with the Orange Cap for most runs in the season, becoming the only Indian to have won this honour twice.Kohli scored 741 runs in 15 matches at an average of 61.75, with a century and five fifties. His best score was 113* and his strike rate stood at 154.69, the highest it has ever been for Virat in a single IPL season.He also smashed 38 sixes this season, joint-most by him in a single season, tying with his tally of 38 sixes in the 2016 season, when he scored 973 runs in 16 matches with four tons and seven fifties.

In The Hindu’s countdown to the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, which commences in the West Indies and USA on June 2, we take a look at the teams in Group ‘B’. ENGLAND: The defending champion would have hoped that the four-match T20I series against Pakistan gives them ideal preparation, but rain has played spoilsport. Nevertheless, key pieces of the puzzle have started to fall in place. Pace spearhead Jofra Archer has made a smooth comeback from injury, while captain Jos Buttler got into the groove with a 51-ball 84 against Pakistan at Birmingham last week.

T20 World Cup 2024 Group C preview | Three-way race beckons West Indies, New Zealand, and Afghanistan  Key player: Phil Salt: The aggressive opening batter went at a strike-rate of 182 for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024. Salt’s PowerPlay hitting will be crucial to England’s success. The squad: Jos Buttler (Capt.), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Topley and Mark Wood. AUSTRALIA: As seen in the 2023 50-over Cricket World Cup, the Baggy Greens are at their best in big tournaments. This time should be no different, as the squad is packed with efficient personnel. Travis Head and David Warner will smash it at the top of the order, while left-arm speedster Mitchell Starc will swing it around corners with the new ball. T20 World Cup 2024: Final chance for Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli to give India an ICC Trophy after 13 years  The Aussies will be happy to see fast bowler Josh Hazlewood and skipper Mitchell Marsh recover well from injury. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa should come in fresh, having opted out of IPL 2024. Glenn Maxwell’s horror run in the IPL, however, is a cause for concern.

Scotland is a regular participant on this grand stage, having competed in three ODI World Cups (1999, 2007 and 2015) and five T20 World Cups (2007, 2009, 2016, 2021 and 2022).

Oman has failed to make it past the group stage in a World Cup, though it has managed to get wins over Ireland and Papua New Guinea. There is quality in the bowling ranks, as left-arm death over specialist Bilal Khan and the strapping Kaleemullah form a good pace duo. Aqib Ilyas.

'He's got a different skillset': Tim Paine picks seamer Nathan Ellis in Australia's attack for T20 World Cup | Cricket News

‘He’s got a different skillset’: Tim Paine picks seamer Nathan Ellis in Australia’s attack for T20 World Cup | Cricket News

Danijones05 mins

NEW DELHI: Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine advocates for Nathan Ellis to be Australia’s third fast-bowling option in the upcoming T20 World Cup, set to commence on June 1 in the West Indies and the USA.Ellis, aged 29, is lauded for his craftiness as a pacer, boasting an arsenal of variations. Despite not securing a permanent spot in the team, he has showcased his talent by claiming 24 wickets in 14 T20Is for Australia.Notably, Ellis served as a reserve player during Australia’s triumph in the 2021 T20 World Cup in UAE.However, he was omitted from the 15-member squad for the 2022 edition hosted at home.Paine’s endorsement highlights Ellis’s potential to contribute significantly to Australia’s bowling attack in the upcoming tournament.“I think Australia have a great opportunity, and I hope they take it in this World Cup, and that is to pick Nathan Ellis. He would be my third quick. I think he just complements the other guys really well, he’s got a different skillset, comes from a different angle, different height, and thinks some variety in the attack will be really important to win this World Cup,” said Paine to ESPN’s Around The Wicket show.In IPL 2024, Ellis made only one appearance for Punjab Kings, contributing with figures of 1-24 in a rare victory for his team, which struggled and finished second-last in the points table. During Australia’s first T20 World Cup warm-up match against Namibia, Ellis continued to impress, picking up 1-17 from his four overs.Given Ellis’s consistent performances, former Australia Test captain Paine views him as a definite starter for the upcoming tournament. However, Paine believes the selection of the other pacer would be a toss-up between experienced campaigners Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, adding depth and versatility to Australia’s bowling lineup.“I know you are going to ask me straightaway who aren’t you playing…I’m going to go Mitchell Starc, (he) is my out and out number one quick, I’m picking him, obviously going with Adam Zampa, and I’m going to decide between Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins.“I’m going to pick one of them and I’m going to go with Nathan Ellis’ all-round skills, his ability to bowl all through the powerplay, I think his slower balls, he’s clever. His international record for the opportunities that he’s been given is outstanding and I think now is the right time.“That’s not to say they (Cummins and Hazlewood) are not the best couple of bowlers in the country, they are outstanding bowlers, and will continue to be, I just think Nathan Ellis complements the rest of that attack really, really well,” he added.Australia are set to face co-hosts West Indies in another warm-up match before kicking off their campaign against Group B opponents Oman at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on June 5. Subsequently, they will compete against England, Namibia, and Scotland in the league stage of the tournament.This rigorous schedule will provide Australia with ample opportunities to fine-tune their strategies and gauge their form ahead of the crucial matchups in the T20 World Cup. With a blend of experienced players and emerging talents, Australia aim to make a strong statement in pursuit of T20 World Cup glory.(With IANS inputs)

Ricky Ponting sets standards for Jasprit Bumrah in T20 World Cup after 'outstanding IPL'

Ricky Ponting sets standards for Jasprit Bumrah in T20 World Cup after ‘outstanding IPL’

Danijones04 mins

Mumbai Indians may have had a season to forget, but fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah seemed to be bowling inside his own bubble. MI finished rock bottom in the IPL table with just eight points in 14 matches having won four and lost 10. However, Bumrah was arguably the tournament’s best bowler by some distance. Jasprit Bumrah finished as the third highest wickettaker in the season. (AFP) While he did not win the Purple Cap, Bumrah maintained a scarcely believable economy of 6.48, which is the lowest for any bowler inside the top 20 wicket-takers of the season. Only Sunil Narine finished the season with an economy that less than 7 apart from Bumrah. He took 20 wickets in 13 matches and maintained an average of 16.80. Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now! Download Now! Australia great Ricky Ponting has said that he expects Bumrah to continue this form in the T20 World Cup which starts on Saturday. “My leading wicket-taker for the tournament will be Jasprit Bumrah,” Ponting told The ICC Review. “I just think an outstanding performer, contributor for a number of years now. He’s just come off an outstanding IPL.” Ponting was head coach of the Delhi Capitals who were at the receiving end of Bumrah’s brilliance in their first match of the season against MI. MI had set a mammoth target of 235 for DC to chase and while the latter scored 205/8, Bumrah finished with figures of 2/22. His victims included a dangerous Prithvi Shaw who had scored 66 in 40 balls. “What he can do with the new ball, he swings the new ball, he has the seam up. But at the end, his economy rate at the end of the IPL was less than seven runs an over. He takes wickets. He does bowl a lot of the hard overs too. When you bowl the hard overs in T20 cricket, it gives you a chance to pick up a lot of wickets along the way. So, I’m going with him,” said Ponting.
