  • ‘We Beat Travis Head’s Bat 15 Times’: Rahul Dravid Reflects On Painful 2023 World Cup Loss And Role Of Luck In Cricket | cricket news

    IND vs AUS: The joy of India’s triumphant win in the 2024 T20 World Cup may have lifted the spirits of cricket fans across the nation, yet the heartbreak from losing the 2023 Cricket World Cup final against Australia at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium continues to linger as. one of the most agonizing moments in Indian cricket history.

    For those unfamiliar with the story, the Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, had a spectacular run in the 2023 World Cup. Playing on home soil, they dominated the tournament, winning all 10 matches on their way to the final. With a full house at the world’s largest cricket stadium, the Men in Blue appeared poised to lift the World Cup trophy for the third time. However, their dreams were shattered by a tactically brilliant Australian side.

    Pat Cummins, the Australian captain, won the toss and opted to bowl first, a decision that paid off handsomely. India struggled to build momentum and managed to post a modest total of just 240 runs. Despite this, the Indian bowlers made a strong start, reducing Australia to 48–3. But then came Travis Head, whose spectacular performance turned the game around. Head played an outstanding knock, scoring 137 runs off just 120 balls. His innings, widely regarded as one of the greatest in the history of ODI cricket, helped Australia secure a six-wicket victory and their sixth World Cup title.

    Reflecting on the defeat, former India head coach Rahul Dravid pointed to the role of luck in cricket. Dravid emphasized that sometimes the outcome of a match hinges on the smallest of margins. He recalled how India needed a bit of luck during their 2024 T20 World Cup victory, citing Suryakumar Yadav’s incredible catch to dismiss David Miller in the final against South Africa as a turning point.

    “Sometimes, at the end of the day, you need a little bit of luck. When there are 30 balls left and 30 runs required, it’s about execution and remaining calm, like Rohit did,” Dravid said at the CEAT awards ceremony in Mumbai. . He added, “We didn’t focus enough on what we needed to do. Sometimes, it’s about having someone who can keep their foot an inch behind the line. On the 19th of November, I remember we beat Travis Head’s bat 15 times without getting a single edge. Sometimes things go your way, but you have to stick to the process.”

    Dravid’s tenure as the head coach of the Indian team came to a close after the 2024 T20 World Cup win, with Gautam Gambhir taking over the role. Dravid, who took charge of the team in November 2021 following Ravi Shastri’s departure, led Indian cricket for two and a half years.

Apart from playing an inning of 87 runs, Rohit added 91 runs for the fourth wicket with Lokesh Rahul (39) at a time when India was in trouble after losing three wickets for 40 runs.

    Virat Kohli

    India, who came to bat after losing the toss, had a bad start and the team lost the wickets of openers Shubhman Gill (09), Virat Kohli (00) and Shreyas Iyer (04) for only 40 runs in the 12th over.

  • World Cup 2023: Netherlands defeated Bangladesh by 87 runs, made a big upset for the second time

    In the 28th match of the World Cup 2023, Netherlands defeated Bangladesh by 87 runs and registered its second win. With this, the Netherlands team caused a major upset for the second time in the current World Cup. First defeated South Africa by 38 runs, then today registered a resounding victory over Bangladesh.

  • IND Vs ENG: England’s trouble getting included in India’s playing-11! Has released sixes in 2022 also

    IND Vs ENG World Cup : The match between India and England is to be held at Ekana Stadium. So far, the journey of this World Cup has been very wonderful for India. India has won all the five matches played so far and remains in the top two in the points table. In its last match, India had healed 20 years of sorrow and defeated New Zealand in the World Cup. If we talk about the match between India and England to be held on October 29, then there are speculations that an Indian player may be seen exposing the English bowlers. After all, why is this being said and who is that player? Let us know in detail…

    Semi-final ticket with 14 points

    Such speculations are being made because that Indian player has shown this in the year 2022. While India is just two wins away from the semi-finals in the World Cup 2023, the defending champion England team has proved to be a complete failure this time. India currently has a total of four matches in which India needs to win only two matches, with 14 points the Indian team will get the ticket for the semi-finals. In such a situation, India would like to register a big win against England and come back to the top of the table. India’s Suryakumar Yadav can play an important role in the victory against England.

    Suryakumar Yadav’s fierce form

    It is almost certain that Team India’s batsman Suryakumar Yadav will play against England because Hardik Pandya may not have fully recovered from the injury and will not play in tomorrow’s match. In such a situation, if Suryakumar Yadav is included in the playing-11 against England, then the English bowlers will be a little more worried. Reason: Suryakumar Yadav’s stormy century in the third T20 match played in Nottingham. That inning of 117 runs in just 55 balls with a strike rate of more than 200 can become a lesson for the England bowlers.

    Also, the way the England team is going out of form, India would definitely like to use this soldier of theirs. Suryakumar Yadav would also like to capitalize on this opportunity well because in the last match he got a place in the playing eleven but he could not do anything amazing with the bat. In such a situation, while Suryakumar Yadav will try his best for a good and big innings, the England captain and bowlers will also prepare to keep him quiet and dispose of him cheaply.

    For India, it is hoped that there will be no changes for tomorrow’s match. But, if Hardik Pandya remains completely fit and is included in the playing eleven, then it may be difficult for Suryakumar Yadav. At the same time, Rohit Sharma can also think of giving a chance to R Ashwin and can give rest to Kuldeep Yadav. Because they need all round performance right now. Because, the Indian team would like to field with 8 batsmen and 6 bowlers.

    Let us tell you that this time the tournament is being played in round robin format. Under this, only the top-4 teams in the points table will qualify for the semi-finals. The first ranked team will have a match with the fourth ranked team, while there will be a semi-final 2 between the second and third ranked teams. The winning teams of these two will fight the title battle on 19th November at Narendra Modi Stadium.
