3 min readFeb 26, 2026 11:14 PM IST Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav admitted that his side could have put in a better bowling performance in the second innings of the T20 World Cup Super 8 clash against Zimbabwe in Chennai on Thursday. The 35-year-old credited the visitors for their batting effort in their pursuit of 257 runs, admitting that his bowlers could have been smarter in the chase. Chasing 257 runs for victory, Zimbabwe finished on 184/6 after 20 overs with Brian Bennett making a splendid, unbeaten 97 off 59 balls, carrying on from his fine batting form in the tournament. “To be very honest, we could have been a little more clinical with the ball. But at the end of the day, a win is a win, and we’ll take it as we move forward. We’ll definitely tighten a few screws when we go and play the West Indies cricket team. I don’t want to take any credit away from the Zimbabwean batters.” “I think they batted beautifully. Yes, the wicket was good, but …

3 min readFeb 25, 2026 12:54 PM IST India’s Super-8 defeat to South Africa at the T20 World Cup was termed as a “just the shakeup India needed” by former head coach Ravi Shastri. Shastri addressed India’s first defeat of the campaign. South Africa’s win tightened the Super-8 standings and halted the Men in Blue’s momentum at a crucial stage. “You win 12 matches on the trot, there’s bound to be an off day. And I’m glad it has come early. It might just be the shakeup India needed,” Shastri said while speaking on The ICC Review with Ricky Ponting and host Sanjana Ganesan. India entered the contest without a loss, but South Africa’s discipline with the ball and control across crucial phases limited the Indian team’s scoring options. The defeat has increased the stakes in the remaining Super-8 fixtures, where qualification margins are tight and net run rate could become decisive. Shastri indicated that the setback could lead to a reassessment of tactical calls and team balance ahead of the next matches. “It might …

‘I don’t think there is still a problem’: R Ashwin plays down India’s dismal net run-rate issue after 76-run loss to South Africa | Cricket News

Published by Webster

3 min readUpdated: Feb 23, 2026 04:13 PM IST Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has said that he is not too worried about India having to win big in their remaining matches to boost their net-run rate after losing to South Africa in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side need to win their remaining two matches and also ensure those victories help recover their net run-rate, which stands at -3.80 after the 76-run loss to the Proteas. “I wouldn’t be too bothered about the net run rate. We have to win two out of two games. We need to respect the conditions a bit. Take some time and bat. This team is a young team, they need to handle pressure better. We have Hardik and Rinku. Build a platform for them by stitching partnerships. There is no need to be in a hurry,” he said on ‘Ash ki Baat’. “I don’t think there is still a problem. Against Zimbabwe, I am sure we can put in a much better performance. I am sure we …

3 min readFeb 23, 2026 02:42 PM IST Varun Chakaravarthy has been key to India dominating opposition sides with the ball over the past one and a half years or so, particularly in the ongoing T20 World Cup with the defending champions often suffering from batting collapses. However, he ended up being taken to the cleaners on Sunday in their first Super Eights clash against South Africa and India ended up being thrashed by 76 runs. David Miller and Dewald Brevis laid into Chakaravarthy and the spinner ended up conceding a whopping 47 runs in his four overs. Miller, who scored 63 off 35 balls, said that they were looking to make sure that they make the most of any bad delivery from Chakravarthy. “I think it’s just about really making sure that we were on it in terms of if he bowls a bad ball we got to put it away – so a little bit more intent and it wasn’t spinning too much tonight, so you can kind of trust the line,” Miller …

3 min readUpdated: Feb 23, 2026 11:15 AM IST South Africa captain Aiden Markram was all praise for David Miller and Dewald Brevis and their bowlers in their stunning victory over India in the T20 World Cup Super Eights on Monday. South Africa were off to a disastrous start in the powerplay batting first in the match but that ended up being a distant memory as they ended up condemning India, heavy favourites to win the tournament, to a 76-run defeat. South Africa lost three wickets in the first four overs. However, Dewald Brevis and David Miller then turned it around for them with a 97-run stand for the fourth wicket that came in just 51 balls. “Great performance. I think first and foremost was the partnership,” said Markram after the match. “The guys were great, put that together for us, steadied the ship and kept us in the game.” Markram praised the pair and Tristan Stubbs later for the way they finished the innings. While Brevis and Miller scored 45 (29 balls) and 63 …

5 min readFeb 23, 2026 10:36 AM IST Defending champions India’s defeat to South Africa was so wholesome that whichever it’s looked at, there are campaign-ending flaws. It was a game where India’s skills, planning, execution and tactics backfired. India’s assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate was scathing in his assessment of the defeat. “When you set up or set out to win a World Cup, we don’t expect someone to come and deliver the World Cup to you halfway through the competition,” he said. One bad day was bound to come, he said, while leaving them with little wriggle room but to win the next two games. “We understand we are probably allowed to mess up one game in this phase of the competition. We’ve messed up on a grand scale and now the onus is on this group of guys to turn around and put in two solid performances against Zimbabwe and West Indies. It’s going to need two big performances and a big bounce back from everyone involved,” he said. Tactically, India erred …

4 min readFeb 23, 2026 10:22 AM IST India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak didn’t blame pressure or inexperience for their capitulation to a well-groomed South Africa side in Ahmedabad on Sunday. He put it on a “complete off-day”. “If you ask me, I wouldn’t say it is pressure. I would not say it is inexperience either,” he said, firming up his voice. “If we call it inexperience, after all the T20 games, IPL and international matches, I don’t know what you can call experience? Secondly, I don’t think there is any pressure. Today, particularly, I think we had a complete off day,” he said bluntly. Kotak pointed out that 188 was an achievable target on this surface. “If it goes to 220, then it’s a tough chase. But, 180, 190, you have to chase. So, pressure or inexperience, I don’t think it is the case,” he said. Glitches have come to crease what has been a flawless batting firm before the tournament. The left-handed heaviness and the ploy of unleashing off-spinners has worked to great …

3 min readUpdated: Feb 22, 2026 02:19 PM IST ‘Which bowler would you pick to defend 10 runs in last over?’ was the question posed by AB de Villiers to Dale Steyn on his YouTube show that dropped over the weekend. Both legends seemed to agree on one name. “Jasprit Bumrah.” Steyn, one of the most feared bowlers, reckoned only two bowlers fit the bill. “If 10 runs to defend in last over, only two names jump to my mind right now. Either Malinga or Bumrah,” AB said in the informal interaction. “My bowler would be Bumrah definitely as well,” AB would say. India and South Africa play the first of their Super8s at Ahmedabad. When Steyn was asked who he would pick to rattle off 15 runs in an over to win a match, he picked AB himself. “Not to float your boat but I’m putting you in there..you’re the best in the world. The other day you played for Paarl. So even now if South Africa needed you and they needed 15 to …
