Published by Webster

Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and opted to bowl against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), on Saturday, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. PBKS have already qualified for the playoffs with eight wins in twelve matches and are currently third in the points table. They defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the previous match and will be keen to secure a top 2 spot with a win here. On the other hand, the DC are eliminated after the loss to the Mumbai Indians in the previous game. They will be keen to finish their season on a positive note. “We will have a bowl. I think today it is 50-50. Just the makeup of the side. We are playing an extra batter. It helps while chasing. It has been very frustrating. We started well. Then went on a roller coaster. We have played enough T20 cricket to understand. We played well in the last game for the first 17 overs. Then lost focus. …

Shreyas Iyer Gets Blunt ‘No Room’ Verdict From Ajit Agarkar After Snub From India’s Test Squad vs England

Shreyas Iyer Gets Blunt ‘No Room’ Verdict From Ajit Agarkar After Snub From India’s Test Squad vs England

Published by Webster

The Indian cricket squad for the Test series against England was announced on Saturday by BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar. While the likes of Sai Sudharshan, Karun Nair, Arshdeep Singh got call-ups on expected lines, veteran pacer Mohammed Shami was not included due to his fitness. Two names which were ignored, much to the surprise in some quarters, were Sarfaraz Khan and Shreyas Iyer. The latter has been in terrific touch in recent times both in the limited overs format for India and in the IPL 2025. He has Test experience too but he was ignored. BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar said there’s no room at the moment for Shreyas Iyer in the Test team. “Shreyas had a good one-day series, played well in domestic as well but right now there’s no room in Test cricket,” he was quoted as saying by news agency IANS.   Karun Nair, who’s handed a Test call-up after seven years on the back of consistent performances in domestic cricket, has been backed by Agarkar to come good …

Shreyas Iyer Set For Royal Snub In India’s Squad For England Tour? “BCCI Selectors Aren’t…”: Report

Shreyas Iyer Set For Royal Snub In India’s Squad For England Tour? “BCCI Selectors Aren’t…”: Report

Published by Webster

Shreyas Iyer has been one of the most consistent performers in the IPL 2025. In India’s 2025 Champions Trophy win, Shreyas Iyer was the top scorer for the team with a run tally of 243. He has also played 14 Tests, with the last being a match against England in February, 2024. Keeping in mind Shreyas Iyer’s recent form, there is a school of though that Iyer should be picked for India’s Test squad for the Tour of England, starting June 20. However, if a report is to be believed, Iyer is set to be snubbed.  The middle-order batter has done well in the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season. The 30-year-old slammed 480 at an average of 68.57, with two tons in five matches in the Ranji Trophy. Iyer was ignored from the India A squad that will tour England, starting later this month. “Iyer’s new stance, bold strokeplay, carefree attitude to batting are all suited to the white-ball game now. The selectors aren’t convinced about his red-ball skills,” TOI quoted a source as …

Indirect Dig At Gautam Gambhir? Sunil Gavaskar Makes Explosive KKR Comment: “Shreyas Iyer Didn’t…”

Indirect Dig At Gautam Gambhir? Sunil Gavaskar Makes Explosive KKR Comment: “Shreyas Iyer Didn’t…”

Published by Webster

Legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar feels Shreyas Iyer didn’t get enough credit for leading Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to the Indian Premier League (IPL) title. Despite leading KKR to their third IPL title, Shreyas was released by KKR ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, where he was picked up by the Punjab Kings (PBKS). KKR’s success was largely attributed to mentor Gautam Gambhir, but Gavaskar feels it’s the captain who deserves much of the credit instead of someone sitting in the dugout. Apart from his captaincy, Shreyas scored 351 runs from 14 innings at an average of 39 and with two fifties. “He didn’t get the credit for the IPL victory last season. All the plaudits were given to someone else. It’s the captain, who plays a major role in what’s happening in the middle and not someone sitting in the dugout,” Gavaskar said on Star Sports. This year, under Shreyas, PBKS are on the verge of qualifying for the playoffs. The team last finished in the top four back in 2014, …

“Shreyas Iyer Brings In Positivity And Desire To Win”: Ex-India Star Praises PBKS Captain

Published by Webster

Suresh Raina, the former India cricketer and four-time IPL winner, said Shreyas Iyer’s positive influence as a captain-cum-batter has been somewhat different, resulting in Punjab Kings (PBKS) dominating against other teams in a never-seen-before fashion in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Iyer, the IPL 2024 winning skipper for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), was acquired by PBKS in last year’s mega auction for a whopping Rs 26.75 crore. So far, PBKS’ move to break their bank for Iyer has paid off – the right-handed batter has amassed 405 runs in 11 games at an average of 50.63, including hitting four fifties. As a captain, and having Ricky Ponting in the dugout as their head coach, Iyer has been astute and proactive in his leadership, resulting in PBKS being on 15 points and being in third place in the points table. The side now needs two wins out of their three remaining games to seal a spot in the playoffs for the first time since the 2014 IPL. “I think their top two players, …

Here’s a look at 5 possible cricketers who can replace Virat at No. 4 against England – Sarfaraz Khan Sarfaraz Khan has been a stunning performer in red-ball cricket lately with his brilliant Ranji Trophy show earning him a call-up in 2024.

How Virat Kohli’s Test Retirement Might Open The Door For This India Star’s Return

Shreyas Iyer is currently not in selector’s the scheme of things, as far as India’s Test side is concerned, according to a report. Shreyas recently earned a recall into BCCI’s annual retainership list, but that doesn’t guarantee him a place in the Test squad for the upcoming tour of England. The 30-year-old, who has played 16 Tests so far, last featured for India in the whites back in February last year. According to a report in Cricbuzz, Shreyas is currently not in the plans of the selectors for India A or India squads. However, with Virat Kohli currently mulling over retirement from the format, things might change for Shreyas. “Shreyas Iyer is not a surefire selection. He is currently not in the scheme of things of the selectors for India A or India squads. But there is a chance that preference or non-preference may change depending on whether Virat Kohli relents and agrees to be part of the squad. Iyer, with 14 Tests under his belt, has not played a Test for more …

“Isn’t The Moment For Panic”: Punjab Kings’ “Humble Appeal” To Media After IPL Suspension

Published by Webster

The ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan have left the entire world stunned. These situations also led to the midway suspension of IPL 2025 on Friday. The match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was called-off in Dharamsala after a blackout protocol came into operation after Pathankot (85km from Dharamsala) and Jammu (a little over 197km away) came under a drone attack from Pakistan. The floodlights were dimmed and the players and the fans were quickly evacuated from the ground. As the airport in Dharamsala was shut down, a special Vande Bharat was arranged to escort both the teams and their staff members to Delhi. After reaching the national capitals, the Punjab-based franchise issued a statement and thanked the Indians Railways for their support and also urged the media for responsible reporting during the tough times. “We’re pleased to communicate that all our players, support staff and everyone associated with Punjab Kings cricket operations are safe and secure. A heartfelt thank you to the BCCI, IPL, Indian Railways, Police, State Authorities and our …
