Mumbai Indians’ ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah impressed with the ball during his team’s IPL 2025 match vs Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday. The right-arm fast bowler returned figures of 1 for 21 in his quota of four overs. He dismissed SRH batter Heinrich Klaasen in the 19th over of the innings for his only wicket in the game. It was a lower full toss from Bumrah but Klaasen missed it, thanks to the pace of the ball and the angle. The right-handed batter tried to make room for himself but failed to get any wood on it. The off-stump was sent cartwheeling.

Virat Kohli on his outside off-stump peril: ‘It’s been my weakness but I’ve scored a lot of runs on that shot’ | Cricket News

Virat Kohli has admitted that the outside off-stump line has been his “weakness” over the years but it has been also his “strength.” Virat Kohli on Sunday became the fastest batter and third man to reach 14,000 runs in one-day international cricket on Sunday, before going on to hit a record-extending 51st century in the ODI format. India vs Pakistan Match LIVE Cricket Score Online Updates: Watch Here “It’s a catch-22,” Virat Kohli told BCCI.tv. “I mean, it’s kind of been my weakness as well over the years, but I’ve scored a lot of runs on that shot. “I think today was just about backing my shots and I think the first couple of boundaries I got were cover drives on the rise, so I really had to just let it go a little bit and take a bit of risk and follow through with my shots, because when I hit those kind of shots, then I feel in control when I bat out there, so it was a good innings for me personally and …

‘Virat Kohli’s foot is going straight down the pitch, not towards the ball’: Sunil Gavaskar on batter’s outside off-stump woes | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar on Monday made a scathing assessment of seniors Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, holding them responsible for the top-order failure and India’s eventual 184-run defeat in the Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne. While a win gradually faded out from the equation, India’s batters could not apply their defensive acumen to see out the game, with Rohit and Kohli falling cheaply on single-digit scores. Kohli, who was been found wanting for his persisting outside off-stump issues, fell for another delivery in the channel as he edged Mitchell Starc into the slip cordon. Even as he appeared to have approached the second innings with a straighter, side-on stance according to former India head coach Ravi Shastri on commentary, Kohli exhibited a noticeable flaw in the attempted drive that Gavaskar picked up on. “The (Kohli’s) foot is not going to the pitch of the ball, the foot is going straight down the pitch, not towards the ball. If the foot goes more towards the ball, you have more chances of hitting the …

Australia batting great Matthew Hayden has offered Virat Kohli who has been struggling with inconsistent series so far with scores of 5, 100*, 7, 11, and 3 in his last five innings, has amassed 126 runs at an average of 31.50. “There could have been magnificent wins, there could have been losses, there could have been spinning conditions, I mean, you can list off a hundred different areas where Virat Kohli, over his magnificent career, would have batted. “But in Melbourne, he’s going to have a good batting track. What he does need to do is find a way to continue staying at the crease. Flashing outside the off-stump is something that he’s going to have to resist,” told Hayden. “And I suggest – he gets in line with the ball a bit more and looks to play down the ground a little bit more…” Virat Kohli (image: X) Hayden’s cited Tendulkar’s iconic 241 not out during 2004 Sydney Test as an example of how self restraint can turn things around. “I know he (Kohli) …

Virat Kohli’s “Flashing Outside The Off-Stump” Rebuked As India Battle Australia, Sachin Tendulkar Invoked

Australian batting great Matthew Hayden has urged Virat Kohli to draw inspiration from Sachin Tendulkar‘s disciplined knock in Sydney and curb his tendency to flash outside the off-stump to regain form in the remaining two Tests of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Kohli, who has had an inconsistent series so far with scores of 5, 100 not out, 7, 11, and 3 in his last five innings, has amassed just 126 runs at an average of 31.50. “There could have been magnificent wins, there could have been losses, there could have been spinning conditions, I mean, you can list off a hundred different areas where Virat Kohli, over his magnificent career, would have batted. “But in Melbourne, he’s going to have a good batting track.

Amid the injury scare ahead of the fourth India vs Australia Test in Melbourne Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has declared that his “knee is fine.” Earlier, the 38-year-old got hit on his knee and there were speculations about the seriousness of the injury he has sustained. When the topic of who bats where has come Rohit responded by saying “Let’s not worry about who bats where. Something that we need to figure out and not something I would be discussing here. We will do what is best for the team,” to the press. The Indian captain has been going through a poor run of form in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy. When he missed the opening Test in Perth KL Rahul who was made to open with Yashasvi Jaiswal and in the second innings Rahul delivered a solid 77 which laid the foundation for India scoring a massive second innings total. The performance of KL Rahul meant that Rohit himself has pushed down the order to number six and runs have been hard to come …

IND vs AUS: Virat Kohli’s outside off-stump perils continue as Scott Boland strikes in Adelaide | Cricket News

Published by Parlour News

India vs Australia: Australia seamer Scott Boland had Virat Kohli tied down in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide on Saturday, dismissing him in a fashion the former India captain has seen one too many times. The fourth-stump delivery snared Kohi once again, pitching at a good length and nipping away slightly. Kohli, looking to defend the ball, found himself poking hard at the pink ball as it safely cushioned into Carey’s gloves. Kohli’s departure for 11 off 21 deliveries left India three down with a little under 10 overs to go to stumps on Day 2. This has been a constant mode of dismissal for Kohli over the years, with the slip-cordon behind him always ready for a ball flying towards them. Even though it hasn’t happened a lot this year, the weakness persists. In the first Test against Bangladesh in September, Kohli attempted to drive a ball well outside the off-stump, but it tickled the edge to find wicket-keeper Litton Das. When New Zealand toured India soon after, it was …

BGT: How Australian fast bowlers can exploit Virat Kohli’s old ‘outside off-stump’ problem | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Starting with the first Test in Perth and then the pink-ball game at Adelaide, the Australian pacers are expected to exploit Virat Kohli’s outside-the-offstumps problems. It’s an issue that Kohli faced in the past. There has been a pattern to the way pace bowlers set him up. It’s either a few away going deliveries before the in-darter or the reverse. New Zealand’s Kylie Jamieson once did both varieties in a Test to take him out in contrasting styles in the two innings. Help from Tendulkar A couple of years ago, Tendulkar had spoken briefly about his work with Kohli to this newspaper. Kohli had said: “He (Tendulkar) made me realise the importance of a big stride, a forward press against fast bowlers as well. The moment I started doing that with my hip alignment, things started ironing out nicely.” Tendulkar had explained why he had framed the shoulder situation in terms of hip movement via a forward press. “If alignment changes then the shoulder automatically opens. When the hip position is nice and compact, then …

Off-stump line, mastery of lengths, using the breadth of the crease: How Akash Deep bought the wickets Bumrah and Siraj couldn’t | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Growing up in Sasaram, a city in the Rohtas district in Bihar, the only cricket stadium that Akash Deep knew was Green Park, some miles away in the Uttar Pradesh heartland. He used to think, “Idhar sab kuch hara bhara hoga (It must be greenery everywhere).” But little did he know that the tracks here once used to be as flat as the Grand Trunk Road, which was built by Sher Shah Suri, an Afghan warlord from Sasaram, before it started churning out low turners. The deck for the second Test between India and Bangladesh was slightly different, placid but with a tinge of grass, but typically without bounce and carry. Under overcast conditions, Rohit Sharma chose to bowl, the first time since 2015 an Indian captain had decided to sent the opposition in. However, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj struggled to find their lengths. But just when it seemed that the Bangladesh openers had weathered the storm, Akash began his business. The strapping seamer removed both the openers in an incisive spell that read …

Nortje bowled a full-length delivery, but it moved a bit into de Kock as he went for the slog. As a result, the ball missed his bat and went on to dislodge the off-stump.
