How Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan put Afghanistan into submission | Cricket News

Published by Webster

This was a match that India used to tick various boxes put in front of them, without having a lot of stress to deal with. Shubman Gill was imperious in his first ODI century as India captain, and made it 154 for good measure. After anchoring a chase in Dharamshala, taking control of matters batting first would be another aspect the home team would be pleased about, apart from the 170-run win, that sealed the three-match series against Afghanistan with a game to spare. Ishan Kishan showed he can provide the impetus needed in the middle order. His 125 off 79 balls, after reaching fifty at less than a run a ball, proved he has gears to his batting and can adapt to situations. Gill’s exertions in excessive heat – the conditions necessitated three drinks breaks in the first innings – meant the skipper didn’t come out on the field to defend a total of 402 due to cramps. It allowed India’s new T20 captain Shreyas Iyer to take charge in largely trouble-free circumstances as …

“Mayank Yadav ek Indian player hai. Avesh Khan Indian player hai. Mohsin Khan, woh bhi India khel sakta hai. Sachin Tendulkar ka ladka Arjun bhi hai. Tera number kaise padega?” Ram Niwas Yadav had been counting names. He knew what each one meant. His son Prince was somewhere in the Lucknow Super Giants pace pack, trying to find his way past four established names ahead of him. The IPL contract the previous year had not settled the father. He’d seen how these things ended. It has not ended the way he feared. On Saturday, Prince Yadav was named in India’s T20I squad for the tours of Ireland and England, the latest step in a journey that has moved faster than anyone in Dariyapur Khurd could have imagined. He had already earned a maiden ODI call-up for the Afghanistan series last month. Now he is going to England. Ram Niwas, a retired ASI from the Railway Protection Special Force, remembers the afternoon Prince called home before boarding the team bus during the IPL, as he did …

Seam, speed, swing — how Shami, Mayank and Prince are building LSG’s pace pack | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Three bowlers. One powerplay. The seam, the speed, the swing – each doing a different job, each doing it well. LSG may not be winning. The same can’t be said about the pace pack. Mohammed Shami took the new ball in RCB’s chase. The ball angled in, straightened off the deck; Bethell swung across the line. Prince Yadav held the catch at deep backward point. In the second over, seam-up again, Patidar beaten outside off. “Jis din main bore ho jaaunga – us din main cricket chhod dunga,” (I will quit the day I am bored). Shami had said on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel a few weeks before this game. “Records uthake dekh lijiye. IPL mein bhi Indian bowlers ke aaspaas ho koi — phir bhi log kehte hain main T20 ka bowler nahi hoon.” (You can check the records – there may not be many Indian bowlers close to me, yet they say I am not a T20 bowler). The ball still does what he asks it to. He has taken four wickets in …

With 16 wickets in 10 games, the LSG pacer has been among the leading pace stars this season, his latest three-wicket burst backing him for a potential India debut soon after the IPL season. It was Kohli’s first dismissal for a duck in the IPL in three years, and only the second time ever he was bowled out without scoring a run in an innings. In a rain-curtailed game, RCB were left to hunt a daunting 210 in 19 overs before Prince nipped out the chasemaster Kohli in the second over. Returning at the death to tighten the screws, Prince walked away with figures of 3/33 as LSG eked out a nine-run win.

Sehwag on Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s controversial dismissal

5 min readApr 27, 2026 03:00 PM IST With his dismissal in the match against Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday evening, Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Angkrish Raghuvanshi became only the fourth batter in IPL history to be given out for obstructing the field. In the match, which KKR won eventually in a super-over, Raghuvanshi punched a Prince Yadav delivery towards mid-on and started to take a run only to be sent back by Cameron Green. With fielder Mohammad Shami aiming for the strikers’ end, the ball hit a diving Raghuvanshi, with the third umpire adjudging Raghuvanshi to be out. The KKR batter soon joined the likes of Yusuf Pathan (2013), Amit Mishra (2019) and Ravindra Jadeja (2024) to be adjudged out while obstructing the field. Former India opener Virender Sehwag believes a harsh decision was made by the umpire in Raghuvanshi’s case, and the batsman was ‘not out’ in his eyes. “Every batsman looks at the fielder when the ball goes to them. You take one run, you take two runs, and you see which …

SRH vs LSG: Shardul Thakur shines with ball and Nicholas Pooran closes out with bat | Ipl News

SRH’s batting stutters to put on a mediocre score on a belter and Pooran powers LSG to a comfortable win Lucknow Super Giants breached Sunrisers Hyderabad’s fortress on Thursday as their bowling plans worked to curtail the power-packed SRH batting order. SRH’s bowling issues, which surfaced last season, continued to persist. Pooran’s fast hands “You have a great bat speed; is it natural or you worked on it?” Nicolas Pooran’s answer to the commentator WV Raman’s query was quite something. “I have never worked on my bat speed, just a natural incredible talent!” He said with the same nonchalance with which he pummelled the SRH bowling. Story continues below this ad The left-hander is in Don Bradmanesque form in the T20 format. Regardless of the league he plays for, he has been piling runs at an unrealistic strike rate. With his ability to stay still and by virtue of his fast hand-speed he got into positions as late as possible, making a mockery of the SRH bowling attack. Out of his 70 runs, 60 came …
