‘It allowed me to learn a lot’: Shreyas Iyer opens up about time after central contract termination | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Shreyas Iyer’s 2024 started on a sour note when he sustained a back injury during the home Tests against England and then lost his central contract after showing up for his then IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders’ training instead of Ranji Trophy duties after his recovery. But as the year went on, Iyer with his sheer grit and determination won the IPL trophy with Kolkata Knight Riders and then played vital knocks in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy as well as the Ranji Trophy. “I kept my process simple. Tried not to over-think the situation and to continue doing my work honestly. I always had the belief that my performance and my sincerity will bring back the opportunity,” said the prolific batter. Story continues below this ad “It allowed me to learn a lot, reassess the situation and prepare a routine to add additional skills in my armoury. Looking back, I am happy with the outcome, the way I managed the situation and importantly, belief in my abilities. Lots and …

Prithvi Shaw Called “His Own Enemy” By Ex-Coach: “He is God-Gifted But…”

Prithvi Shaw Called “His Own Enemy” By Ex-Coach: “He is God-Gifted But…”

Published by Webster

File photo of Prithvi Shaw© X (Twitter) Out-of-favour Indian cricket team batter Prithvi Shaw has been in the headlines lately for all the wrong reasons. Prithvi was dropped from the Mumbai team due to his fitness and the batter did not find any buyer in the IPL 2025 auction. Released by Delhi Capitals, the batter had a base price for Rs 75 lakh but he failed to attract even a single bid. It was a shocking turn of events for a batter who was considered to be a major young talent by experts and was the opening batter for India in Tests just a few years ago. Former India batter Pravin Amre, who coached Prithvi during his time with DC, said that he is “his own enemy” and pointed out that being “God-gifted” is not enough for a cricketer. “What we want, to be honest, is that he loses 10 kg and becomes match fit. What is stopping him is his fitness. Nobody has a doubt about his cricketing skill. He is God-gifted …

There is unanimity in Mumbai’s maidaans that Prithvi Shaw can still resurrect his game at 25. But the despondency over his perceived current lifestyle, the visibly poor standards of fitness and serious questions over his drive and motivation, make the much-desired comeback seem very distant. But concern for the young batsman, once anointed as Mumbai’s next big name, overrides everything else. “I still feel he can make a comeback,” prefaces Sanjay Potnis, a MLA from Kalina, who was the first person in Mumbai to lend the Shaws a helping hand by providing them with a small flat in Santacruz to cut down his travel time from Virar. Potnis blames fame and money for landing Prithvi in unhelpful company. “His game is not bad, the people around him are of different kinds. No one is taking care of his sport, sab uska faayda he utha rahe hai. No one is with him at the moment, he is dependent on himself. After he left (Santacruz to Juhu to Bandra), there was no one who took care of …

Prithvi Shaw Given Big IPL Warning? “Without Him, We Won Games,” Delhi Capitals Assistant Coach

Published by Webster

File photo of Prithvi Shaw.© BCCI Delhi Capitals assistant coach Pravin Amre opened up about the exclusion of Prithvi Shaw from the playing XI for the past couple of matches after the franchise concluded their Indian Premier League 2024 group stage. Shaw was retained by the Capitals ahead of the season and didn’t feature in the first two games. In his first game of IPL 2024, he struck a quick 43 off 27 balls against Chennai Super Kings. The right-handed batter went on to score 66(40) against the five-time champion Mumbai Indians. But his form started to waver after that. On the other hand, Abhishek Porel made the most of the opportunity and smacked 327 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 159.51. Porel starred in DC’s final game of the group stage on Tuesday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium against the Lucknow Super Giants. DC stood victorious with a 19-run win. He left the opposition bowlers gobsmacked with his knock of 58 off 33 deliveries. He aided DC in the …

“Umpires Are There…”: DC Coach’s Clear Verdict On Samson Dismissal Row

Published by Webster

Sanju Samson reacts after his dismissal against Delhi Capitals© BCCI Delhi Capitals assistant coach Pravin Amre believes that umpire’s decision should be respected when it comes to the controversy over Sanju Samson‘s dismissal during the IPL 2024 match against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday. Samson, who was playing on 86, played a lofted shot straight down the ground off the bowling of Mukesh Kumar but Shai Hope ended up completing the catch at long-on. However, he was extremely close to the boundary line and replays showed that there was a chance that he touched the boundary line before the catch was completed. The third umpire ruled in DC’s favour resulting in Samson getting involved in a heated argument with the on-field umpires regarding the matter. There has been a lot of conversations surrounding the matter but Amre believes that it was a close call and considering the technology available, the umpires’s decision is the final decision. “In IPL some moments are very crucial, and it was a deciding moment in the game. Sanju was batting so …

Pravin Amre praises Jake Fraser-McGurk The youngster Jake Fraser-McGurk has guided the side to register a six-wicket victory in the match against the Lucknow Super Giants on Friday. Jake Fraser-McGurk who was brought in the DC Squad as a replacement for Ngidi Lungi, benched during a few games despite the Capitals batting line-up failing to show consistency. However, the youngster has been an impressive half-century in the match. “Jake’s slot is at the top order, but there we have David Warner. In the first game, Sai Hope batted well at the top before being injured. We knew that Jake would get an opportunity and he grabbed the chance with both hands,” Amre said. The Capitals team management was impressed with Frase-McGurk’s batting show in the nets and hence decided to give him a go. “He was batting really well …

Suresh Raina’s advice to India’s Under-19 World Cup team: Don’t let success go to your head or failure affect you too much | Cricket News

Published by Webster

To be selected for the Under-19 World Cup that was held in 2004 was a big deal for me. I was aware of the impact in Uttar Pradesh cricket when Mohammad Kaif captained India to the title six years earlier. Those were slightly different times. Today young cricketers have more opportunities to catch the eye of selectors; for example there is the Indian Premier League. But trust me, the path from junior to senior cricket won’t be easy. I have an interesting anecdote from my days. Ambati Rayudu and I went to the old office of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) at the Brabourne Stadium to collect our kit. We packed it in the suitcase we got and was so excited that when we reached our hotel both of us forgot the combination lock password. I too wanted to be part of a title-winning side, like Kaif but it was not to be. But destiny was kind and I was able to experience the joy of winning a World Cup with …
