    Gary Gilmour (28* & 6/14) vs England: World Cup 1975 Semi-Final

    Playing on home soil, England were favorites against Australia in the semi-finals of the 1975 World Cup.

  • World Cup Warm-Up Match: Indian bowlers will show their strength against England, Rohit Sharma and company are ready

    ICC world cup 2023 Before Saturday, Team India will face defending champion England in the first practice match in Guwahati. In this match, Indian bowlers will be able to assess their depth, because England’s batting lineup is very strong at the moment. Practice games do not have official status. Both teams can use as many players as they want and see how certain players react in specific match situations. However, no team would want to expose all its players or strategies by putting in full force during these games. Therefore, it would be premature to assess the ability of any team from the practice match. after England Rohit Sharma The team has to play the second practice match against Netherlands on October 3.

    England’s batting lineup is very strong

    Talking about the current World Cup champion England, this team has made huge changes in all formats in the last few years. The team has adopted an aggressive batting style, which has also been seen in Test cricket. The batting line-up of Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Dawid Malan, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali can trouble any bowler. In such a situation, Indian bowlers can test themselves better.

    The onus will be on the spinners

    The entire responsibility will be on the spinners in the middle overs. It will be interesting to see how far Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are able to make a dent in England’s strong batting order. It also remains to be seen whether top players like captain Jos Buttler or the charismatic Ben Stokes will try their hardest to not give the Indian bowlers a chance to dominate them. The best thing about the England team is its batting depth.

    Great performance by bowlers in Asia Cup

    The arrival of Sam Curran at number eight and Chris Woakes, who led the victory against India by scoring a Test century at Lord’s at number nine, certainly tells a lot about the balance of the team. However, be it the Asia Cup or the recently concluded ODI series against Australia. Indian bowlers have performed amazingly. It was no small feat to all out Sri Lanka at the score of 50 in the Asia Cup final in its own home.

    Ishan Kishan vs Shreyas Iyer

    After the injury of Akshar Patel, the need for a left-handed batsman will be felt in the team. In such a situation, Ishan Kishan can be given preference over Shreyas Iyer. There is no doubt that Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will be the opening pair. In such a situation, Kishan can come to the crease as a left-handed batsman in the middle order. In the presence of Virat Kohli, this will affect Iyer, because another left-handed batsman Ravindra Jadeja will be present in the team in the lower order.

    Senior players can be given rest

    An equation is also being formed that India can give rest to its senior players in the warm-up match. But in a team of 15 players only four players can rest. Even before this, India has fielded playing eleven with two wicket-keeper batsmen, KL Rahul and Kishan. However, head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma would like to face England with the original team, which will be seen on the field in most of the World Cup matches. Iyer needs more opportunities, which he can get in two practice matches.

    Indian team

    Rohit Sharma (captain), Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav.

  • ICC World Cup 2023: The host country won the last three World Cups, will Team India be able to repeat history in 2023?

    According to these figures, in 2011, 2015 and 2019 only the host countries won the Cricket World Cup. In such a situation, when the 2023 World Cup is starting and the performance of the Indian team is commendable, it is being expected that Team India can once again capture the World Cup. The most positive thing about this tournament is the advantage of playing on our own pitch. Apart from this, the performance of the players of Team India is also at its peak. If we talk about batsman, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer are all in form. Ravindra Jadeja has the ability to spit fire with both his bat and ball and he is continuously proving this. Indian fast bowlers, be it Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami or Mohammed Siraj, all are in such a phase of their form that the batsmen fear them by name. Rohit Sharma is a better captain, there is no doubt about it.

  • Before Cricket World Cup 2023, former Indian star gave special advice to Rohit Sharma and company.

    India performed strongly in the first match of the three-match ODI series against Australia. India won the match played in Mohali by five wickets. This victory took Team India to the top in the ODI rankings. This series is very important for both the countries in the final stages of preparation for the Cricket World Cup. Mohammed Shami, Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill performed brilliantly. All of them are part of India’s Cricket World Cup team. young batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad Also spread the shine of his bat. However, one aspect that the Indian cricket team management may be worried about before the Cricket World Cup is the team’s fielding. On many occasions, the stars of the Indian cricket team looked disappointed while fielding and while trying to take catches.

    Mohammad Kaif warned

    Former Indian cricket team star Mohammad Kaif has warned the team before the Cricket World Cup. He posted on X, ‘Caution: If India cannot take good catches then it may be out of the World Cup. The match can be won by batting and bowling but catching is also important for victory. Indian players dropped some easy catches and looked uncomfortable at times while fielding. Many times the ball was seen slipping from the hands of the fielders. KL Rahul also missed the runout.

    India is running with two fast bowlers

    Meanwhile, India’s policy of changing its fast bowling options ahead of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 has received support from veteran fast bowler Mohammed Shami. India has adopted a rotation policy for its fast bowlers since the beginning of the Asia Cup. According to this, at any point of time only two players, one Jasprit Bumrah and the other Mohammed Siraj or Mohammed Shami, are included in the playing eleven.

    This also means that medium pacer Shardul Thakur, who is more adept with the bat, has got more opportunities. However, this has helped in improving India’s batting. But this has reduced the opportunities for India’s full-time fast bowlers. Shami participated in only two matches in the Asia Cup. On Friday, he played the first ODI against Australia in Mohali and played a match-winning innings by taking five wickets. India won this match by five wickets.

    India is following rotation policy for fast bowlers

    Despite these returns, considering the rotation policy, Shami’s place in the playing eleven is not confirmed. However, Bengal’s fast bowlers are unperturbed by these developments. Shami supported this policy while speaking at the press conference after India’s win against Australia. He stressed the importance of players understanding their role, whether they are included in the playing eleven or not.

    Shami said this after being out of playing eleven

    According to an ICC release, Shami said that this is a part of the game. It is important to understand the needs of the team. It is not possible that you will always be a part of the playing eleven and team combination. When we play regularly, someone has to sit out. There’s no point in getting frustrated about it. Obviously, it is good if you are in the eleven but it is also important to be sensible when you are on the bench. That role is also very important.

I have not even played in the TNCA Third Division League yet. I played in the fifth division for four years and I have registered for fourth division outfit Indian Oil (RO) S&RC for the current season. After being selected by Netherlands as a net bowler, I feel that my talent has finally been recognised.

    Netherlands welcomed with open heart

    Lokesh further said, ‘The members of the Netherlands team welcomed me with open heart. The players told us, ‘Work without hesitation, this is your team. I already feel like I am part of the Dutch family. Lokesh said that he is confident that he will make space for the camp. Lokesh told that after seeing the advertisement, I was eager to try it. I felt that I would have an edge over others because there are not many Chinaman bowlers in the country. Netherlands was looking for a mystery spinner. So I decided to apply for it.

    Working helped in becoming a cricketer

    Lokesh said that working as a food delivery executive is indirectly helping him develop as a cricketer. He said that after college days, my entire focus was on cricket. I spent four years on cricket. In 2018 I decided to do a job. I have been with Swiggy for the last four years. I earn money only by delivering food, I have no other source of income. Working hours are flexible and I can take leave whenever I want.

  • MS Dhoni and ISRO Chief should also be given golden tickets for the World Cup, Sunil Gavaskar demanded

    ICC Cricket World Cup Will be played at 10 places in India from 5 October to 19 November. This is the first time that India will host this global tournament alone after co-hosting in 1987, 1996 and 2011. Before the tournament begins next month, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is leaving no stone unturned to provide the best experience to the fans. For this bcci has started a big initiative by giving ‘Golden Tickets’ to some prominent people.

    Amitabh and Sachin got golden ticket

    Earlier this week, legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan became the first person to receive a ‘Golden Ticket’ as a special guest. A few days later, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah also presented the ‘Golden Ticket’ to the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar praised BCCI for this initiative, saying that it is a great way to honor the pioneers in their respective fields.

    ISRO chief should also be given a golden ticket

    Sunil Gavaskar, who was a part of the 1983 world winning team, also wants that BCCI ISRO chief S. Give golden ticket to Somnath, under whose leadership India landed on the moon. Gavaskar also expressed hope that the BCCI will honor the two World Cup-winning captains, Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni. Along with this, the names of other prominent athletes of their respective fields will also be included in the list of ‘Golden Ticket’ recipients, who have made the country proud in recent times.

    Gavaskar wrote this in his column

    Gavaskar wrote in his column for Sportstar, ‘BCCI Secretary Jay Shah’s decision to honor individuals who have rendered remarkable service in their respective fields is excellent.’ Let us tell you that till the time of writing this article, Amitabh Bachchan and Sachin Tendulkar have been given golden tickets to watch the World Cup match. Gavaskar further wrote that it is not known how many other people are in the list, but it is expected that the ISRO chief, under whom India landed on the moon, will be one of them.

    Some athletes should also be given golden tickets

    Gavaskar said that obviously, this ‘golden ticket’ cannot be given to all those who have played for India. But if the associations in whose stadium the matches are being played should be instructed to invite Indian players from their city for the games to be held in that city. This would be a great step. Of course, the two others who deserve the golden ticket are the two World Cup-winning captains, Kapil Dev and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Olympic and World Athletics Championship gold medalist Neeraj Chopra is another person who comes to mind for the BCCI’s golden ticket.

    Names of Rohan Bopanna and Sharath Kamal also included

    Gavaskar further wrote that it does not matter whether these people can participate in any match or not. This is an idea that will definitely be appreciated by the recipients. This is a great initiative which is seen in Wimbledon and US Open tennis, where current and former champions are also present. There are a lot of sports heroes in India, and if they are awarded golden tickets, the image of BCCI will really shine. Gavaskar said Rohan Bopanna, who recently finished runner-up at the US Open at the age of 43, and Sharath (Kamal), who is a super legend in table tennis, are two other names who can be given the golden ticket.
