India vs England: An in-form Shreyas Iyer makes India’s middle order much stronger for Champions Trophy | Cricket News

Published by Webster

There was for all purposes just one real fretful moment for India in England’s chase of a 357-run target in the third ODI in Ahmedabad. In six overs, England had blurred away to 60 without loss, and the left-handed dasher Ben Duckett was already on 34. It’s when India’s captain Rohit Sharma intervened. Duckett had been limping from the start, with a groin niggle, but crash-landing the ball to all parts with his stand-and-deliver routine. After he smashed four consecutive seam-up balls from Arshdeep Singh, Rohit had enough at mid-off. With his characteristic shrug of disdain, he called the attention of Arshdeep, gesturing to his thigh. The point was made: that Duckett is struggling with a groin injury that hampers his movement and balls should be crafted keeping that in mind. Not offer balls that he can just stand and whack. Arshdeep got the message and slipped in a slower ball off the final ball of that over. A nod of approval came from Rohit. Arshdeep started his next over as well with a slower …

Image Source : AP Indian Cricket Team players. India have wrapped up their Champions Trophy preparations with a perfect 3-0 win over England in what was their final ODI assignment ahead of the global ICC tournament. A Shubman Gill hundred, a Shreyas Iyer powerful knock, a Virat Kohli fifty and an all-round bowling contribution powered the Men in Blue to their second-biggest ODI win over England (in terms of balls left) in the third match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, February 12. India defeated the Three Lions by 142 runs, their second-biggest win margin against them, as the Men in Blue dominated the contest in both departments. India had made a huge score of 356 batting first as Shubman Gill continued his love affair with the Ahmedabad-based ground. He now has a century in all three formats at the venue and is the first Indian to have done so at a single stadium. He slammed 112 from 102 balls in a knock that was laced with 14 fours and three sixes. Shreyas …

The Indian and England players sported green armbands on Wednesday for the 3rd ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium in order to support the BCCI’s initiative of “Donate Organs, Save Lives” campaign. “Both teams are wearing green arm bands to support BCCI’s initiative ‘Donate Organs, Save Lives’. The initiative is spearheaded by ICC Chairman Mr Jay Shah,” a BCCI release stated. “Today, we’re wearing green ribbons alongside India to support the ‘Donate Organs, Save Lives’ initiative,” the England Cricket X handle also posted. The initiative was supported by several Indian players, including Virat Kohli and vice-captain Shubman Gill. “Score the ultimate century. Your organs can help others live beyond your lifetime. Register as a donor and make every life count,” Kohli said in a video shared by the BCCI. The two teams are wearing green arm bands to support BCCI’s initiative “Donate Organs, Save Lives”.

India vs England ODI series: In his whirlwind century, Rohit Sharma showed he knows how to construct an innings | Cricket News

India vs England ODI series: In his whirlwind century, Rohit Sharma showed he knows how to construct an innings | Cricket News

Published by Webster

If there was anything to worry about Rohit Sharma the ODI player, it was settled in two shots early on in his innings in the second ODI against England at Cuttack. A flicked six over wide midwicket in the second over off Gus Atkinson and a hit over long-off in the fifth over off Saqib Mahmood. Rohit owns that shot – the way the hands move through the line, kicking up the imagery of a father lifting his daughter and throwing her up in joy in one swooping fluid motion. In the one Ranji Trophy game he played and was trolled after getting out cheaply in both innings, he had played that straight hit once; perhaps the confidence-revival kickstarted then. Rohit’s 90-ball 119, including seven sixes, would seem like a whirlwind knock, but a lot of planning went into its construction. “I really broke it down into pieces about how I wanted to bat,” he said after the game. “It’s a 50-over format, a little longer than the T20 format and a lot shorter than …

India vs England ODI: Explain floodlight malfunction, Odisha govt asks cricket body | Cricket News

Published by Webster

The Odisha government on Monday asked the Odisha Cricket Association (OCA) to submit an explanation for the disruption during the second ODI match between India and England at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. The floodlight malfunction during India’s 305 run chase on Sunday evening forced a 35-minute stoppage, triggering massive outrage against the organisers. With India 48 for no loss in 6.1 overs, the tower stationed past the long-on boundary began to flicker before shutting down completely. India captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill soon walked to the dugout before the England team followed suit. According to OCA sources, the generator connected to one of the six floodlight structures at the venue had conked off, forcing a nearly 35-minute stoppage.

IND vs ENG: How Rohit Sharma proved talks of his waning prowess was grossly exaggerated with his second fastest hundred | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Rohit Sharma had forewarned of writing him off in this version just yet. A seven-ball outing in Nagpur may have held the question over his head intact. But in a 142-minute masterclass at the Barabati Stadium on Sunday, the Indian captain wiped out detractors and England’s 304-run defence with his 32nd ODI century. First-game heroes Shubman Gill (60) and Shreyas Iyer (44) chipped in before India claimed a four-wicket victory and the series win with 33 balls to spare. On a day where the pacers were blunted by the England top-order, Ravindra Jadeja’s metronomic 3/35 had earlier denied the visitors a higher finish. When the local media reacted with rapturous applause to an early Rohit maximum, a couple of their English counterparts were left wondering if they were teleported to the Western Terrace back home at Headingley for a moment. For the Indian captain though, Sunday was all about reconnecting with happier times from not so long ago. 𝙄. 𝘾. 𝙔. 𝙈.

IND vs ENG: Rohit Sharma returns to form, scores 32nd ODI century in Cuttack vs England | Cricket News

Published by Webster

India skipper Rohit Sharma roared back into form with a timely century against England at Cuttack in the 2nd ODI on Sunday. This was Rohit’s 32nd century in the 50-over format and his first since the ton against Afghanistan back in 2023. He also brought up his half century at the Barabati in just 30 deliveries. Rohit went after the England bowlers from the get-go, bringing up his ton in 76 deliveries, peppered with 7 sixes and 9 fours. This was a welcome return to form for a player who had been suffering a lean patch with dismal performances against New Zealand and Australia in recent Test series. Earlier, Rohit had surpassed West Indies batter Chris Gayle to rise up to second in the highest six-hitters in ODIs. Rohit, who started the match tied with Gayle with 331 maximums, surpassed the West Indies icon when he smashed a six over midwicket with his trademark flick shot to Gus Atkinson in the 2nd over.

Rohit Sharma on Sunday surpassed West Indies batter Chris Gayle to rise up to second in the highest six-hitters in ODIs in the second match vs England at Cuttack. Rohit, who started the match tied with Gayle with 331 maximums, surpassed the West Indies icon when he smashed a six over midwicket with his trademark flick shot to Gus Atkinson in the 2nd over. He would follow that six with two more maximums and go up to 334 but he is still behind Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi who has 371. The Indian skipper looked to have regained some of his form after a lean period as he smashed 29 off 18 deliveries before the match suffered a brief stoppage due to a floodlight issue. Earlier, left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja continued his stranglehold over English batters with brilliant figures of 3 for 35 as India bowled out the visitors for a sub-par score of 304.

‘Virat Kohli is fit and available for selection’: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak ahead of 2nd ODI vs ENG | Cricket News

India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak on Saturday bore good news for the Indian team and its fans as he confirmed star batter Virat Kohli was fit and available for selection for the second ODI match against England at Cuttack on Sunday. ‘Virat Kohli is fit to play. He has come for practice and is good to go,” Kotak said in the pre-match press conference ahead of the match. Kohli had missed out of the 1st ODI in Nagpur due to a knee injury, skipper Rohit Sharma had said at the toss before the first of the three matches between India and England. “Virat Kohli was unavailable for selection for the 1st ODI due to a sore right knee,” the BCCI had posted on the day of the match. With Kohli available, it throws up a dilemma for the Indian team management on who will he will replace in the playing 11.

India vs England: Virat Kohli missed out due to a knee injury picked up on Wednesday, Rohit Sharma said at the toss before the first of the three matches between India and England in Nagpur. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s long-awaited debut in One Day Internationals became a reality on Thursday in Nagpur, as he was handed his international cap in the 50-over format. Alongside Jaiswal, Delhi pacer Harshit Rana also earns his debut in the third format. Both Jaiswal and Rana have played in the other two international formats already. Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bat first, while Rohit Sharma – returning after a short break international cricket – said he would have bowled first anyway. The three ODIs against England are the only matches in the format before the Champions Trophy that starts on February 19. “We have hardly played this format since the 2023 World Cup, so it’s all important for us,” Rohit said at the toss. “Jaiswal and Harshit are making their debuts for us, but unfortunately Virat isn’t playing today, …
