Vikram Rathour told Saba Karim when the former stumper wondered aloud if Vaibhav Sooryavanshi might face second-season blues this year, ‘Saba, just wait and watch.’ I think he is equally prepared to handle any kind of delivery.” Speaking to JioHotstar, Karim said Sooryavanshi is reading bowlers quickly – calling it his best quality. While the world awaits his inauguration in international cricket, Sooryavanshi has added a broad swath of shots to his repertoire in 2026, and looks ready, Karim said. “This is the best trait of Vaibhav’s batting. He realises very quickly where the bowlers might target him, takes a few balls to assess whether he has the shots in his armoury to score against those deliveries, and prepares accordingly,” Karim explained, elaborating, “That kind of preparation is what he has done. That’s why this year we have seen him start to play the upper cut against shorter deliveries, hit through the covers with a strong base, go over long-off, over cover, and play inside-out shots. All these shots that he has added to his …

2 min readJun 25, 2026 04:02 PM IST Sanju Samson finished the T20 World Cup 2026, scoring three back-to-back half-centuries. During the Indian Premier League 2026 season, he was in sublime form for the Chennai Super Kings, scoring two centuries, including 477 runs at an average of 43.36. Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers opined that the call to omit Rishabh Pant was obvious, but he felt Samson was close to returning to the ODI format for the England series. “Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul the two top wicket-keepers. The big thing there is no Pant, no Samson. Samson must have been close, closer than Pant, as he had a really good IPL but also prior to that, showing signs of form. Not a lot of surprises there, but just for Samson, I feel he was close,” he said on his YouTube channel. De Villiers also mentioned the omission of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a century in his previous game against Afghanistan. “Virat Kohli back. Little bit of a tough one on Jaiswal, who was …

Published by Parlour News

India are touring England for three ODIs next month, and the rubber is particularly very important for two players in the team, both very seasoned and great servants of Indian cricket. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. These ODIs will be India’s first away from home since October last year in Australia, where the team under Shubman Gill lost 2-1. Kohli got two ducks before scoring 74 in a pride-salvaging win. Sharma, on the other hand, yielded scores of 8, 73 and 121 not out. Being one-format players now, veteran stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are always under pressure to deliver. (Star Sports India) Pitches in England, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand are in stark contrast to the ones in India. While there has been an attempt in those four countries to make white-ball pitches batsmen-friendly in recent years, they have still not been able to produce pitches like the ones in India. Pitches over there are bouncy and more often than not help lateral movement. Plus, the boundaries are invariably bigger, which means …
