  • ‘It’s A Big Setback’: Harbhajan Singh’s Blunt Remark After Hardik Pandya Was Removed As T20I Captain | cricket news

    Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh was shocked when Hardik Pandya was removed from the captaincy role of India’s T20I squad.

    “I was (surprised). Upto some extent, I was (disappointed). He was your vice-captain…when Rohit Sharma is not the captain, your vice-captain becomes the captain. But if you tell him on fitness ground that you will not be the captain – there’s no T20I cricket round the year,” Harbhajan told Sports Yaari.

    “He came after winning the T20 World Cup and suddenly, it’s a big setback for him. It’s not right. I have great respect for Suryakumar Yadav. Phenomenal player, great guy…very selfless. Even he wouldn’t have though that This would happen,” he added.

    Talking about India’s T20 squad for the Bangladesh series, the likes of Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma have been added to the side. Abhishek Sharma has also been picked in the side after missing out on Sri Lanka T20Is. The young guns Riyan Parag and Nitish Kumar Reddy are also set to show their finesse in the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh.

  • Suryakumar Yadav Injury Update: Star Batter Declared Fit By NCA To Play For Mumbai Indians? Read Here | cricket news

    India and MI’s star middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav has been declared fit to play by the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for the upcoming Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals match at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday (April 7). Surya will return to cricket action after three months of recovery and rehab at the NCA. The BCCI and staff at NCA did not want to risk the batter’s chances of getting injured again when he returned to action so that’s why they took as much time as possible to analyze Yadav’s fitness.

    “He is fit now. The NCA made him play a few practice games and he looked good. He can join the Mumbai Indians team. We wanted to be sure that when Surya goes back to MI, he is 100 percent fit and ready to play games. He wasn’t feeling 100% during his first fitness Test before the IPL, so we waited to see if there was any pain while he was batting,” a source in the BCCI confirmed to the Indian Express.

    Suryakumar Yadav endured a grade II ankle tear during the T20I series in South Africa, initially sidelining him for seven weeks. However, a subsequent hernia injury necessitated surgery, prolonging his absence until now.

    The return of Yadav, ICC’s top-ranked T20I batsman, comes as a much-needed boost for the struggling Mumbai Indians. With three consecutive defeats in the IPL 2024 season, skipper Hardik Pandya has faced mounting criticism from fans in every match.

    After losing three consecutive matches at the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya said that they will continue fighting in the T20 tournament.

    In MI’s previous encounter against Rajasthan Royals (RR), Pandya scored the highest for Mumbai with 34 off 21 deliveries, while Tilak Varma played a crucial knock of 32 runs in 29 balls, taking MI to 125/9 after Rajasthan bowlers absolutely bossed Mumbai batters. in their homecoming match on Monday.

    Pandya took to his official

    “If there’s one thing you should know about this team, we never give up. We’ll keep fighting, we’ll keep going,” Pandya wrote on video)

    Summarizing the match, after winning the toss, RR opted to bowl first. Trent Boult (3/22) destroyed the MI top-order in the powerplay, reducing them to 20/4. A 56-run partnership between skipper Hardik Pandya (34 in 21 balls, with six fours) and Tilak Varma (32 in 29 balls, with two sixes) brought some order into the innings briefly before MI experienced a collapse again to end at 125/ 9 in 20 overs.

    Yuzvendra Chahal (3/11) and Nandre Burger (2/32) bowled well for RR and rocked the MI batting line-up with regular wickets, never giving them a chance to breathe.

    In the run chase, RR lost openers Jos Buttler (13), Yashasvi Jaiswal (10) while skipper Sanju Samson could make only 12 in 10 balls. Reduced to 48/3, they were in a tricky situation. But Riyan Parag once again performed a brilliant rescue act, scoring 54* in 39 balls, with five fours and three sixes to take his side to a six-wicket win with 27 balls left. Akash Madhwal (3/20) was the pick of the bowlers for MI.

    Following the win, the Rajasthan-based franchise stand at the top place of the standings with six points at a net run rate of +1.249. On the other hand, Hardik Pandya’s side are at the bottom of the table and are yet to score points.

  • Big Blow For Team India, Mohammed Shami To Miss THESE Crucial Matches; Suryakumar Yadav Set To Undergo Hernia Surgery | cricket news

    Fast bowler Mohammed Shami is facing a race against time to prove his fitness ahead of the first two Test matches against England scheduled to begin on January 25. Shami, who suffered an ankle injury, has not resumed bowling, and that he may miss the initial encounters of the series, according to Indian Express sources. In another setback for Team India, Suryakumar Yadav, the World’s No.1 ranked T20 batsman, is set to undergo hernia surgery, extending his hiatus from the cricket field. The talented batsman’s return to action is anticipated to take longer than initially expected.

    Shami’s Uncertain Test Series Participation

    Despite being named in the Test squad against South Africa in November, Shami’s participation remained contingent on his recovery post-treatment. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) emphasized that Shami’s involvement in the Test series would be subject to fitness clearance, and as of now, he hasn’t been given the green light by the medical team.

    Yadav’s Prolonged Rehabilitation Period

    Insiders from the Indian board suggest that Shami is doubtful for the first two Tests against England, given his delayed return to bowling. On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav’s hernia surgery is expected to keep him out of action for a significant period—potentially up to eight to nine weeks post-operation.

    Team India’s Contingency Plans

    With the Test series against England being played at home, the BCCI appears cautious about rushing Shami’s return, especially with Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah available. Considering spin’s potential impact, India may not require a full complement of fast bowlers, easing the pressure on Shami’s swift comeback.

  • WATCH: Suryakumar Yadav Walks With Supporter Due To Ankle Injury Ahead Of T20 World Cup 2024 | cricket news

    In what can be another huge blow to Team India’s lineup for the T20I series against Afghanistan, Suryakumar Yadav has been sidelined from the series due to an ankle injury. As per a report from HT, SKY injured his ankle during the tour of South Africa. Surya was leading the Men in Blue in the recent T20I series against Australia and the Proteas. Reportedly, he has suffered from a Grade-2 tear in his ankle.

    Mumbai Indians shared his video of walking with a supporter with his ankle covered with a guard. The video has raised lots of tension in the mind of cricket fans. (IPL 2024: Memes Pour In After Reports Of Hardik Pandya Missing IPL 2024 Due To Injury Go Viral)

    The twist of fate could potentially keep him out of action for six weeks, casting a shadow over his immediate participation. (Big Blow For Team India And Mumbai Indians, Hardik Pandya Likely To Miss Afghanistan Series And IPL 2024)

    The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed Suryakumar’s absence, detailing his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).

    Sources within the BCCI revealed that the 31-year-old’s return would be tested with a stint in the Ranji Trophy for Mumbai in February, serving as a fitness check before the impending Indian Premier League (IPL).

    “Surya has reported to NCA for rehab work and the Medical Science team as of now has ruled him injured. He won’t be able to play against Afghanistan which starts in three weeks. Since he is unlikely to be selected for Tests, he will possibly play for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy in February to check his fitness before playing in the IPL,” a source privy to BCCI told IANS.

    With key players like Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya unavailable, the selectors may face a captaincy conundrum.

    The speculations around Rohit Sharma potentially leading the side emerged unless the selectors decided to opt for Ravindra Jadeja as a temporary captain. However, Jadeja’s workload concerns loomed large with his commitment to all five Tests against England.

    Adding to the woes, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who led the squad at the Asian Games, found himself sidelined due to a broken finger, further thinning the available batting options.

    The selectors will also face a dilemma over who will be the wicketkeeper as Ishan Kishan withdrew from the South Africa Tests citing “personal reasons,” with reports suggesting a prioritization of mental health after a year on the road. Jitesh Sharma was touted as the replacement behind the stumps.

    The BCCI, respecting the players’ privacy, refrained from prying into Kishan’s decision, acknowledging the toll that inconsistent selections can take on a player’s mental well-being.

    As the team regroups to face Afghanistan, the challenges ahead are not just on the field but also in managing the delicate balance between performance and player well-being in the demanding world of international cricket. (With IANS inputs)

  • IND vs NZ: Suryakumar Yadav lost his focus, got run out after scoring 2 runs, Virat Kohli is not responsible

    Suryakumar Yadav

    Suryakumar Yadav got a chance in the playing eleven after four matches of the league stage in the ICC World Cup 2023, but Suryakumar could not live up to the expectations. He was run out on a personal score of just two runs. Virat Kohli was at the other end. But Virat cannot be blamed for Surya’s runout.

    Virat Kohli

    Suryakumar Yadav was run out in the 34th over. That was Trent Boult’s ball. Surya played a shot on the fifth ball of the 34th over. This shot towards cover reached Santner’s hands and he displayed brilliant fielding and ran out Surya.

    Virat Kohli

    There was some problem in the coordination between Virat Kohli and Surya and Surya sacrificed his wicket. Although after this Kohli was also seen regretting a lot, but it was not Kohli’s fault in this. Both the batsmen gathered at almost the same end and then Surya ran back, but could not reach the crease.

    India vs New Zealand

    Suryakumar Yadav got a chance in this fifth match of the league. Surya seemed fully prepared to capitalize on this opportunity, but he could not play any big shot and returned to the pavilion after being run out on the score of two. It is expected that Hardik Pandya will return in the next match against England, in such a situation it is difficult for Surya to get a chance again.

    Virat Kohli

    Now let’s talk about the match. On the basis of Virat Kohli’s inning of 95 runs after Mohammed Shami’s 5 wickets, India defeated New Zealand in the World Cup match after 20 years. India registered its fifth consecutive win and strengthened its claim for a place in the semi-finals.

    Virat Kohli

    With this victory, India has strengthened its position at the top with 10 points from five wins in five matches. New Zealand is in second place with eight points from four wins in five matches. Chasing New Zealand’s target of 274 runs, India won by scoring 274 runs for six wickets in 48 overs. Captain Rohit Sharma also played a good inning of (46) runs.

    Virat Kohli

    Kohli (95 runs in 104 balls, eight fours, two sixes) along with Shreyas Iyer (33) scored 52 runs for the third wicket, Lokesh Rahul (27) scored 54 runs for the fourth wicket and Ravindra Jadeja (39 not out in 44 balls). The 78-run partnership for the sixth wicket with India wrote the script of victory.

    India vs New Zealand

    For New Zealand, Lockie Ferguson took two wickets for 63 runs. Mitchell Santner bowled economically and took one wicket for 37 runs but could not lead the team to victory. Earlier, apart from playing an inning of 130 runs in 127 balls with the help of five sixes and nine fours, he added 159 runs for the third wicket with Rachin Ravindra (75 runs, 87 balls, six fours, one six).

    Virat Kohli

    Despite this the team was out for 273 runs in 50 overs. The partnership between Mitchell and Ravindra is the biggest partnership for any wicket on this ground. Indian fielders also gave life to both these batsmen. Shami was the most successful bowler for India, taking five wickets for the third time in his career while giving 54 runs.

    India vs New Zealand

    Left arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav proved expensive. He took two wickets for 73 runs. Mohammad Siraj (one wicket for 45 runs) and Jasprit Bumrah (one wicket for 45 runs) bowled economically and took one wicket each. New Zealand’s batsmen looked under pressure for the first time during the entire tournament. The team could score only 68 runs in the last 13 overs against India’s accurate bowling.

    India vs New Zealand

    This is India’s fourth win in 10 matches against New Zealand in the World Cup, while it has faced defeat in five matches. One match remained inconclusive. India last defeated New Zealand in the World Cup 20 years ago in 2003 in Centurion.

    India vs New Zealand

    Chasing the target, India got a good start by the pair of Rohit Sharma (46) and Shubman Gill (26) by adding 71 runs for the first wicket. Rohit looked in good form from the beginning. After opening the account with a four off Trent Boult, he delivered the ball to him and Matt Henry to the audience.

    India vs New Zealand

    After a cautious start, Gill hit two fours each on Bolt and Henry and took the team’s score beyond 50 runs in the eighth over. Rohit hit sixes on Henry and Santner but the very first ball of Lockie Ferguson was played on the wickets. Facing 40 balls, he hit four sixes and the same number of fours.
