‘Jeez man, VVS used to…” Why watching Axar Patel at No 6 made Rahul Dravid think about VVS Laxman | Cricket News

Published by Webster

It’s not everyday that Rahul Dravid shares dressing room conversations or throws his head back and laughs at his own joke at a press conference. But it’s not everyday, Indian team, minus Virat Kohli, wins a crucial home series despite regularly losing key players because of a spate of injuries. It was a question about India’s depleted squad before the second Test at Vizag that sparked laughs in the media room. This was the time when India, after losing the first Test, were informed that two key players – Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul – were not available for selection and all-rounder Axar Patel got into the playing. The sight of Axar going out to bat made the two 90s cricketers in the dressing room – coach Dravid and his assistant Vikram Rathore – nostalgic. “When I saw Axar walk in at No.6, I remember looking at Vikram and thinking, ‘Jeez, VVS (Laxman) used to walk out at that position’. With due respect to Axar (laughs), he is a lovely player,” Dravid would say and …

In India’s Himalayan win, Sarfaraz Khan tells Shoaib Bashir ‘finish the game, let’s go and see snow on mountain’ | Cricket News

By lunch on Day 3, the writing was on the wall. Still miles behind the total that would force India to bat again, half of England’s team was back in the dressing room. A famous win for the home team looked inevitable. Fighting a lost cause with the tail-enders was England’s old hand Joe Root. That was when Sarfaraz Khan, fielding at short-leg, floated a suggestion to England’s young off-spinner Shoaib Bashir. “Jaldi maarke khatam karo, apun pahaad pe baraf dekhne jaate hain (Hit out and finish the game so that we can go to the mountains to see the snow),” he would be heard saying on the stump microphone. Sarfaraz was speaking for many in the stands, too. Just before tea, England’s resistance would end. The innings-and-64-run win in two-and-a-half days gave India a 4-1 series triumph and the fans a weekend to explore the tourist destination in the foothills of Himalayas. It was a tame end to a series that had promised to change the status quo of international cricket. After England’s come-from-behind …

A typical Indian Test in English conditions? Rohit Sharma, Ben Stokes ponder over pitch, conditions in Dharamsala With rain expected on Day One, regardless of the pitch condition, if England get to bowl first, India’s top order will have the Anderson high hurdle to clear at the start of the innings.

IND vs ENG 5th Test Playing XI: Patidar puzzle, Bumrah is back, who will sit out? and R Ashwin’s 100 | Cricket News

Published by Webster

India vs England 5th Test Squad Announcement: The fifth Test between India and England though is a dead rubber from the series point of view but it still has World Test Championship points at stake and is the 100th Test for both R Ashwin and Jonny Bairstow. In addition to that both teams have players who have a point to prove. The likes of Rajat Patidar despite averaging in mid 40s in first class could not deliver the goods in the three Tests so far and would be hoping to end the series on a high. As for England Bairstow though looked good in patches and could not convert the starts he after looking for a brief period played a nothing shot in the end to get himself out. Let us have a look at the Indian playing XI Patidar puzzle The middle-order batter has had another poor outing in Ranchi. However, the wicket was playing a few more tricks than it did in the previous games. However, Patidar’s feet moment was under scrutiny in …

Akash Deep celebrates the wicket of England’s Zak Crawley on the first day of the fourth IND vs ENG Test where he made his debut. (PTI Photo) How good is Akash Deep? Shami-like nip-backer, Bumrah’s length, 140kph speed and one rare priceless quality The television screen on the ground kept playing the wickets of Akash Deep on a loop. The bowler, standing at mid-on, restlessly waiting to grab the ball again, would gaze sideways towards the screen and soak in the moments. The spectators on the stands beside, to the left of the MS Dhoni Pavilion, would chant his name. Flashing a coy smile, he would wave back at them. A hero was born – his first six overs yielded three England wickets, just an hour into his Test career. The hours that made the hour were hard; from cramming into a train to Kolkata, sweating countless hours in maidan cricket, before breaking through the Bengal team in 2019, then acquiring an IPL contract with RCB three years later and finally realising the dream of playing …

India vs England Live Score, 4th Test Day 1: IND look to seal series as they take on ENG in penultimate Test in Ranchi | Cricket News

Bumrah has been the new-ball intimidator, the reverse-swing executioner, the middle-over marauder, the soul and voice of the team. To overshadow a group of spinners with a collective haul of 831 demonstrates the insuperable versatility of his craft. (PTI/Reuters) IND v ENG: Jasprit Bumrah has been India’s lead act so far, now over to R Ashwin and Co in Ranchi to spin their web At different times during India’s practice session on Wednesday, their trifecta of spinners inspected the pitch for the Ranchi Test. A padded-up Kuldeep Yadav strode in first, swishing his bat, had a couple of quick glances before hurrying to the practice ground, cutely named the Oval. Ravindra Jadeja walked in next, after he had wrapped up his session, peered at the patch with dry grass. Ashwin lingered longer, probing the surface from various angles. In the absence of their best friend in this series, Bumrah, the spinners would hope the pitch would dust up its old affection. The spinners indeed have played their support cast roles in putting India 2-1 up …
