The Men in Blue chased down 259 with utmost ease, riding on Gill’s fluent 80, Axar Patel’s all-round brilliance, and a calm half-century from Washington Sundar.

India batter slams T20I selection

India batter slams T20I selection

3 min readJul 13, 2026 02:23 PM IST India’s abject surrender in the T20I series in Ireland and England, losing six of the seven matches on tour, has surfaced widespread criticism of head coach Gautam Gambhir and the team management’s selection policies. Out-of-favour India batter Hanuma Vihari led the criticism on social media following India’s crushing 4-0 series loss to England on Saturday. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Vihari minced no words as he slammed Gambhir for his preference for particular players and also questioned the persistent inclusion of all-rounders Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar despite poor form. “Gautam Gambhir has certain favourite players and he wants to take them and play them. I don’t see any value in these players added to the side,” Vihari said in a video on his YouTube channel. ‘Why are they in the team?’ “I don’t understand what some players are doing in the team. Dube does not bowl, cannot field, and has not shown that form in batting either. Shedge was also not impressive in bowling or batting. …

‘He bowls at almost 100 km/h…’

3 min readUpdated: Jul 5, 2026 01:52 PM IST India was in control of the game against England till Ravi Bishnoi came into the attack in the 17th over of the innings. The leg-spinner bowled a couple of backfoot noballs and ended up conceding 29 runs in a single over, which changed the momentum in the game. England came back into the contest and eventually won an improbable game by four wickets. Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer said Bishnoi can be picked easily, he bowls quickly, and his leg-spinner doesn’t turn a great deal. “I mean, I feel that once batters get used to Ravi Bishnoi, it becomes easier to face him. He bowls at almost 100 km/h, and at that pace, his leg-spin doesn’t turn a great deal. Most of the time, it’s either a topspinner or he’s trying something different, but eventually there’s a certain pace to his bowling. He also bowls the googly, but it seems that batters have started to figure out how to play him,” Jaffer said on his YouTube …

Sooryavanshi’s shows glimpses on debut, but Bethell ensures England get the win

Sooryavanshi’s shows glimpses on debut, but Bethell ensures England get the win

On the day he became the youngest cricketer to represent India, at 15 years and 99 days, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi offered an important reminder: prodigies are burdened with countless narratives, but only one of them is true — their own. The pre-match discourse demanded another miracle, the sort he made routine during the IPL. Instead came a 10-ball 14, punctuated by the kind of misjudgements one would expect from a 15-year-old. It served as a timely reality check. For Sooryavanshi can become India’s saviour, India must allow him to be. The second T20I in Manchester will be remembered as the day Sooryavanshi made his debut. There was, however, the minor matter of a match to be won — and England took the bragging rights in that regard – courtesy Jacob Bethell, who has developed a penchant for scoring big against India. The hosts secured a four-wicket win, reaching the target of 191 with an over to spare to take a 1-0 lead after the Durham game was washed out. Given his first two wild swings, there …
