Dhaka, Dec 3 (Ians) With T20 World Cups happening in 2021 and 2022, there was very little focus on Odi cricket. But now with the 2023 Odi World Cup less than 12 months, suddenly the format seems to have gained high importance in the eyes of teams and fans.
After a young side went to New Zealand and lost the only Odi of the series with the next two matches being rain-affected, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Kl Rahul are back as India brace themselves for the challenge from Bangladesh in the series opener on Sunday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (Sbncs) in Mirpur, Dhaka.
The ODIs against Bangladesh will also mark the re-uniting of Rohit, Shikhar Dhawan and Kohli as the top three. Since the 2019 World Cup, the trio have featured in just 12 ODIs together.
It remains to be seen if the opening pair of Rohit and Dhawan will be able to give...

Mumbai, Dec 3 (Ians) Tearaway fast bowler Umran Malik on Saturday was named as a replacement for injured senior pacer Mohammed Shami in India’s Odi squad for the upcoming Odi series against Bangladesh.
An official statement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (Bcci) secretary Jay Shah said Shami sustained a shoulder injury during a training session in the lead up to the Odi series against Bangladesh.
He is currently under the supervision of the Bcci Medical Team at the Nca, Bengaluru and will not be able to take part in the series against Bangladesh. It is not yet clear if Shami will be fit in time for the two Tests against Bangladesh, starting from December 14 in Chattogram.
Malik had debuted in ODIs against New Zealand at Auckland on November 25, picking 2/66 and then took 1/31 in a washed-out match at Christchurch on November 30. He now joins Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur,...

The series against Bangladesh marks the return of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Kl Rahul, and Mohammed Shami to the Odi fold, along with fresh faces in Kuldeep Sen, Rajat Patidar and Rahul Tripathi.
In a select media interaction organised by Sony Sports Network, former India left-arm spinner Maninder Singh spoke about Washington Sundar’s big opportunity in Bangladesh, Rohit and Rahul coming back in ODIs and why he feels India should have included a wrist-spinner for the three-match series.
Q. Washington Sundar recently performed well in New Zealand, especially with the bat under pressure in ODIs. With no Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja for the ODIs against Bangladesh, do you think Washington can step up to be the finisher as well as become that sixth bowling option which India is looking for?
A. As far as the sixth bowling option is concerned, there’s no doubt as he bowls well.

New Delhi, Nov 30 (Ians) Maharashtra, Saurashtra reached the final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy after registering wins over Assam, Karnataka in their respective semifinals on Wednesday.
While Maharashtra beat Assam by 12 runs in a high-scoring contest to reach their maiden Vijay Hazare final, Saurashtra registered a comfortable five-wicket win over Karnataka in the other semifinal.
Maharashtra vs Assam
Fighting knocks from Swarupam Purkayastha (95), Sibsankar Roy (78) and Rishav Das (53) went in vain as Maharashtra overcame Assam by 12 runs in Ahmedabad to book a spot in the final. Rajvardhan Hangargekar had an impressive spell, finishing with 4 for 65.
Riding on Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 168 and Ankit Bawne’s 110, Maharashtra posted a formidable 350/7 in 50 overs. In reply, Assam threatened to chase it down, but they faltered in the end and were eventually restricted to 338/8.
Put into bat, Maharashtra lost the wicket of Rahul Tripathi early but Gaikwad and Satyajeet Bachhav stitched a useful partnership to build a steady platform.

Harare, Aug 17 (Ians) The last time India came on a tour of Zimbabwe, it was in 2016 and Kl Rahul, who had been in the Test fold, was starting to get into white-ball scheme of things after a breakthrough Ipl season with Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb).
In the first Odi of that tour, making his debut in 50-over format under Ms Dhoni, Rahul became the first India batter and eleventh overall to make a century on debut. He ended the Odi leg of the tour as the leading run-getter and took Player of the Series award as well.
Six years later, Rahul will be returning to Harare as the captain of the side, to the place where his white-ball mainstay story for India began. But he is coming back after a long time on the sidelines. A groin injury was followed by sports hernia surgery and testing positive for Covid-19.

Mumbai, Aug 16 (Ians) Left-arm spinning all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed has been included in the Indian team for the upcoming three-match Odi series against Zimbabwe as a replacement for the injured Washington Sundar, the Bcci announced on Tuesday.
Sundar has been ruled out of the Zimbabwe series due to a shoulder injury. He sustained the injury to his shoulder when he landed badly on it while representing Lancashire in the Royal London Cup in England.
The all-rounder did not return to the field after suffering the injury and did not play in the subsequent games.
Meanwhile, Shahbaz has been rewarded with a maiden call-up for his wonderful performances in the Indian Premier League (Ipl) with the Royal Challengers Bangalore. An all-rounder by trait, Ahmed is a left-hand batter and a left-arm orthodox spinner. In the Ipl 2022 season, he scored 219 runs in 16 matches and also picked up four wickets.

New Delhi, Jan 20 (Ians) Fifty-seven players have been released by eight Indian Premier League (Ipl) franchises ahead of the 2021 auction, to be held next month. They include Mumbai Indians' fast bowling great Lasith Malinga, former Rajasthan Royals captain Steve Smith, Chennai Super Kings (Csk) off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, and Kings XI Punjab all-rounder Glenn Maxwell.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) have released the most number of players, 10, though it is noteworthy that among them are wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel, who announced his retirement from all cricket recently, and veteran South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn, who had opted out of the Ipl in the first week of this month.
Delhi Capitals said in a statement that they have traded all-rounders Harshal Patel and Daniel Sams to Rcb. They are, however, yet to name the players that would possibly come from Rcb as part of the trading window, which is open until about a week before the auction.

Dubai, Oct 31 (Ians/GloFans) Consecutive wins in their last two matches have given Rajasthan Royals (Rr) hope for qualifying for the playoffs of the Indian Premier League (Ipl) and the Steve Smith-led team will aim to capitalise from the situation when they face a deflated Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) here on Sunday.
Both Rr (bet run rate -0.377) and Kkr (-0.467) have equal 12 points each from 13 games. However, it is Rr's superior net run-rate that gives them an edge. Rr will be looking for a big win to stay ahead in middle of the jam-packed table with every team, except Chennai Super Kings (Csk), still afloat.
Ben Stokes and Sanju Samson rediscovering their form has been the catalyst for Rr in their recent matches while skipper Smith, Robin Uthappa, and Jos Buttler were also handy with the bat in their game against Kings XI Punjab.

Dubai, Oct 28 (Ians/GloFans) An inconsistent Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) will look to seal their seventh win of the season and put their foot firmly in the playoffs when they face Chennai Super Kings (Csk) here on Thursday.
The Eoin Morgan-led Kkr lost their previous match against Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) by eight wickets. This resulted in them losing their fourth place to Kxip due to their inferior net run rate.
The two-time champions have been inconsistent throughout this season and would need to tick all the boxes against Csk, who are virtually out of contention but still hold the ability to spoil the party.
Barring opener Shubman Gill and Morgan, the entire Kkr side fell like a pack of cards against Punjab. Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi and Dinesh Karthik have clicked on a few occasions but they all need to shrug off their rustiness with the bat.

Sharjah, Oct 25 (Ians/GloFans) With four consecutive victories, Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) have stunned everyone and the Kl Rahul-led lineup will aim to keep the juggernaut rolling when they face Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) in the 46th fixture of the Indian Premier League (Ipl) here on Monday.
The last time the two sides squared off, Kkr beat Kxip by two runs. However, a lot has changed since then. While the Eoin Morgan-led team has been inconsistent, Punjab have managed to win matches regardless of how far behind they are.
Kxip will be, undoubtedly, riding high on confidence after their narrow but morale boosting win against Sunrisers Hyderabad (Srh). Despite putting a paltry 126/7 on board, Kxip managed a win, thanks to their bowlers, who stepped up at the right time.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 24 (Ians/GloFans) Leg-spinner Varun Chakravarthy's five-wicket haul and superb half-centuries from Nitish Rana and off-spinner Sunil Narine combined to guide Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) to a crucial 59-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC) that kept the team in contention for the Indian Premier League (Ipl) playoffs.
The win took Kkr to 12 points from 11 matches, though they remain at the fourth place in the eight-team competition. And despite the defeat, DC remain static at the second spot, behind Mumbai Indians. Both DC and Mi, as well as Royal Challengers Bangalore have 14 points each.
Four top teams qualify for the playoffs. Overall, the race for the fourth qualifying spot, if not for other potions above it, is still wide open, with even the wooden spooners Chennai Super Kings still in the fray, though mathematically and not on form.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 23 (Ians/GloFans) Table-toppers Delhi Capitals (DC) will aim to return on the winning path when they face fourth-placed Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) in the 42nd match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (Ipl) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium here on Saturday.
After a five-wicket defeat against King XI Punjab (Kxip) in their last match, Delhi will expect their batters to raise the bar as barring Shikhar Dhawan, all others have faltered.
It was Dhawan's second consecutive ton which had single-handedly propelled DC to a fighting total against Kxip before their bowlers failed to defend the target.
Young Prithvi Shah's last four outings include two ducks while captain Shreyas Iyer has struggled to regain his form with the bat he showed in much of the first half of the league stage since sustaining a side-strain.

New Delhi, Oct 22 (Ians) At the start of this year's Indian Premier League (Ipl), it had seemed that two journeymen -- Rajasthan Royals' leg-spinning all-rounder Rahul Tewatia and Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Rahul Tripathi -- would overshadow most others.
The others that come instantly to mind, though they may not have made as big an impression as Tewatia and Tripathi, are Jaydev Undakat (Rajasthan Royals), Mandeep Singh (Kings XI Punjab), Mohit Sharma (Delhi Capitals this year), Krishnappa Gowtham (Kings XI Punjab), Saurabh Tiwary (Mumbai Indians), and Varun Aaron (Rajasthan Royals).
Tripathi, who was traded to Kkr from Rr before this season, hit 36 and 81 in his first two games before failing in the next few games. When he fell victim to speedster Mohammed Siraj on Wednesday night, it seemed like his Ipl 2020 was going to be over following a string of poor scores in the last five matches -- he has...

Abu Dhabi, Oct 22 (Ians) Mohammed Siraj's international outings have been disappointing. So too have been those in the Indian Premier League. Leading up to the game against Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday, Siraj had leaked runs at over 10 an over in the three previous games this season.
After a decent debut year in Ipl 2017 with SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh), he moved to Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) in 2018 but the overall performance with the Bangalore-based franchise was anything but impressive. He leaked runs and didn't get too many wickets over the next two seasons. That problem spilled over to this year too.
On Wednesday, things, however, changed when he took the new ball for the first time in an Ipl game since 2017.
The ball swung on a wicket that aided swing. Even though Siraj had been practising with the new ball in the nets, he didn't know he'd take the ball first up.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 21 (Ians) Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) captain Virat Kohli said that he had initially thought of starting their match against Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) with Washington Sundar as Chris Morris' new ball partner and the decision to bring in speedster Mohammed Siraj was a late call.
"It was a late call to be honest (to give Siraj the new ball). Was thinking of giving Washy the ball and then bring Chris Morris into the game. But the pitch was very dry and so looking at the conditions we decided to start with Siraj and Morris," said Kohli at the post-match presentation.
Although Siraj misssed a hat-trick, he tore into the Kkr top order, dismissing opener Rahul Tripathi and Nitish Rana off consecutive deliveries in his first over and then Tom Banton in his next. Both overs were maidens, thus making him the first in the Ipl to have...

Abu Dhabi, Oct 17 (Ians/GloFans) A change in Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) leadership failed to bring a change in luck as the two-time Indian Premier League (Ipl) champions endured an eight-wicket hammering against Mumbai Indians (Mi) on Friday. They will hope for a positive result on Sunday when they clash with SunRisers Hyderabad, who too are in a bad shape.
After some successive below-par performances, Kkr, placed fourth on the points table, had a change of captaincy. Under fire skipper Dinesh Karthik handed over the reins to Eoin Morgan, England's World Cup-winning captain, but there was no change in the result in the game against Mumbai Indians.
Kkr's main concern has been the inconsistency of its batsmen. Kkr boasts of promising players like Rahul Tripathi, Shubman Gill, Morgan and Russell. Despite the fact they all have failed to keep the momentum going.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 16 (Ians) Mumbai Indians (Mi) pace bowler Trent Boult on Friday captured his 50th wicket in the Indian Premier League when he removed Rahul Tripathi of Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) here on Friday.
The Mumbai Indians side, which looks likely to make the play-offs, need to thank the New Zealand pace bowler for providing them with early breakthroughs.
The left-arm pace bowler has taken a wicket in the opening spell in five of the eight matches Mi have played. In fact, he has taken a wicket inside the power-play stage in six of those games allowing his team to dent the opposition early.
On Friday night too, the New Zealander removed opener Tripathi in his second over of his opening spell. The Kkr batsman cut hard but was brilliantly caught by Suryakumar Yadav at point.
Boult finished with 4-0-32-1, as Mumbai restricted Kkr to 148 for five wickets in 20 overs.
The Mumbai Indians side, which looks likely to make the play-offs, need to thank the New Zealand pace bowler for providing them with early breakthroughs.
The left-arm pace bowler has taken a wicket in the opening spell in five of the eight matches Mi have played. In fact, he has taken a wicket inside the power-play stage in six of those games allowing his team to dent the opposition early.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 15 (Ians/GloFans) Reigning champions Mumbai Indians (Mi) are in red hot form and the Rohit Sharma-led side will aim to consolidate their position on the Indian Premier League (Ipl) points table when they clash with an inconsistent Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) in their return fixture on Friday.
The last time the two sides met in the current season, Mi had thrashed Kkr by 49 runs at the same venue, the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
With their consistent performances, Mi have emerged as one of the favorites of this year's title. The entire team has clicked as a unit, with both the bowlers and batsmen stepping up whenever the situation demanded.
While they have in-form top-order comprising skipper Rohit and opener Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan have provided stability to their side in the middle-order. The Mi batters are at their peak and can rip apart the best of bowling attacks.

Sharjah, Oct 12 (Ians) Riding on a record century partnership between captain Virat Kohli and Ab de Villiers, Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) on Monday thrashed Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) by 82 runs and rose to become the joint No. 1 team on the points table.
Although Rcb have 10 points, the same as Mumbai Indians (+1.327) and Delhi Capitals (+1.038), Kohli's team is placed third on net run rate (-0.116).

On winning the toss, Rcb first posted 194/2 in 20 overs, thanks to a scintillating unbeaten 73 off 33 balls from de Villiers, Aaron Finch's 47 off 37 balls, and Kohli's 33 not out off 28 balls. They then restricted Kkr to 112/9 in 20 overs to complete a one-sided win at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Only three Kkr batsmen entered double figures, with the highest scorer being Shubman Gill with 34, before he was run out.

Sharjah, Oct 11 (Ians/GloFans) Riding high on confidence after their comfortable 37-run win over arch-rivals but struggling Chennai Super Kings (Csk), the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) take on Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) in the 28th Ipl match on Monday.
Both teams are coming after a win as Kkr, too, had pipped Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) merely by two runs in a thrilling contest on Saturday.
Despite starting the season with some below-par show, Rcb seem to have finally gained the momentum. Kohli, too, in good touch with the bat and the run-machine single-handedly propelled his side to a respectable 169/4 wickets against Csk with his blistering unbeaten 90. Later, the bowlers rose to the occasion as well to defend the modest target with ease.
Similarly, opener Devdutt Padikkal has been consistent so far. He has an explosive partner in Aaron Finch, who failed to fire in the previous game but has been quite impressive,...

Abu Dhabi, Oct 10 (Ians) Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) captain Dinesh Karthik on Saturday won the toss and elected to bat in their Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2020 match against Kings XI Punjab to be played at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium.
"The wicket looks dry, so we'll have a bat first. As the tournament progresses, we'll get the right batting order, but it worked well in the last game," Karthik said after winning the toss.
Both the teams have made one change in their playing XIs which featured in last matches. While Kkr have brought in Prasidh Krishna for Shivam Mavi, Kings XI have replaced Sheldon Cottrell with Chris Jordan.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 9 (Ians/GloFans) The ongoing Indian Premier League (Ipl) season has almost reached its half-way mark and the Kl Rahul-led Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) are yet to find winnings ways. The bottom-of the-table team will now be up against Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) on Saturday in what could be called a must-win game if they want to keep their play-offs hopes alive.
With just a single win from six games, Kxip seem to be over-reliant on skipper Rahul, opener Mayank Agarwal and pace bowler Mohammad Shami. Barring the trio, the rest of the players have failed to click.
Nicholas Pooran showed signs of the destruction he could cause in the middle-order in the game against SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh) but the Caribbean player needs to be consistent. Other hard-hitters like Glenn Maxwell have been completely silent so far.
In the bowling department, Shami has led from the front with nine wickets from six games.

The panorama that the Indian Premier League (Ipl) brings to a cricket lover is wonderful. Watching matches after matches unfold with such precision and in a professional manner is truly a remarkable achievement. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) must be complimented on being able to host the Ipl, and from the looks of it they may become the hub of sports events in the future.
UAE is now the center of excellence for sports in this period of pandemic. India seems far away in reviving sporting activities at present and so one may see the UAE as a convenient alternative till normalcy returns.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 8 (Ians) The 21st match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (Ipl) season was a memorable one for Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Rahul Tripathi.
Tripathi played a crucial role in Kkr's thrilling 10-run win over Chennai Super Kings at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Wednesday evening. It was his brilliant 81-run knock from 51 balls that helped the Dinesh Karthik-led side post 167 in their allotted 20 overs. Kkr then made a stupendous comeback in the final 10 overs to restrict Ms Dhoni's men to 157 in their full quota of overs, which helped them earn their third win of the tournament.
Following his heroics with the bat, Tripathi also got an opportunity to meet franchise owner and one of Bollywood's mega star Shah Rukh Khan.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 8 (Ians/GloFans) On their way to a narrow 10-run win over three-time champions Chennai Super Kings (Csk) -- thanks to Rahul Tripathi's 51-ball 81 -- Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) did something unusual on Wednesday. They won the toss and elected to bat for the first time since 2015 Ipl, after 69 matches.
The momentum gained with the decision at the toss ultimately took them to a win, and the third place on the points table (6 points from 5 matches).
Tripathi slammed eight fours and three maximums at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, until Bravo came in and finally dismissed Tripathi in the 17th over with the help of Shane Watson.
In-form Gill (11 off 12) was the first one to depart at 37/1 followed by Nitish Rana (9) at 87/2. By the 14th over, Csk checked Kkr with regular wickets as Morgan fell cheaply for seven off 10 followed by Russell who could only make two.

Abu Dhabi, Oct 7 (Ians) Chennai Super Kings (Csk) put up a masterclass of death over bowling on Wednesday to bowl out Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) for 167 at the Sheikh Zayed stadium. Kkr had crossed the 100-run mark in 12th over but managed to score just 34 runs and lost five wickets in the last four overs.
Kkr's decision to promote Rahul Tripathi to the top of the order bore fruit as the Maharashtra batsman smashed 81 runs off 51 balls. Sunil Narine came in at no.4 and scored a quickfire 17 off nine before being dismissed thanks to a blinder of a combined catch from Ravindra Jadeja and Faf du Plessis.
Narine looked to hit Karn Sharma between long-on and deep midwicket and Jadeja ran to his right before putting in a dive to seemingly complete the catch. However, he decided to relay the ball to du Plessis nearby when he figured that he...

Abu Dhabi, Oct 6 (Ians) Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) bowlers' familiarity with the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, coupled with the fact that they are fresh off playing at the batsman-friendly Sharjah Cricket Stadium, will help them trouble Chennai Super Kings batsmen, according to Rahul Tripathi.
Kkr had played their first two matches of the season in Abu Dhabi, the second of which they won by seven wickets against SunRisers Hyderabad.
"We are coming from a game in Sharjah. The last time we played in Abu Dhabi we did really well, all the bowlers contributed and we have been practicing here for a long time," said Tripathi in a virtual press conference ahead of Wednesday's match.
"It is like a home game for us. We have experience of playing here and all the bowlers are doing here. I am sure they know what lengths to bowl on this wicket. It is also a big ground,...

Sharjah, Oct 4 (Ians) Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Shreyas Iyer called on his team mates to build on the good start to the season. DC scored 228/4 on Saturday and beat Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) by 18 runs in another high scoring thriller at the Sharjah International Cricket Stadium.
Shreyas led the way with an unbeaten 88 off 38 balls for which he was declared player of the match. "We really have a good platform and we have to be insatiable with our work ethics and keep getting better game after game from here on," said Shreyas in the post-match presentation ceremony.
"It is really difficult to defend here. It has been such an amazing tournament, especially in Sharjah. It is always a thrill to play at this ground, the last time I played here was in the under-19s. Winning the match was the icing on the cake."

Dubai, Sep 29 (Ians/GloFans) In-form Rajasthan Royals (Rr) will aim for a hat-trick of wins when they square-off against two-time Ipl winners Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) at the Dubai International Cricket stadium here on Wednesday evening.
After defeating Chennai Super Kings (Csk) in their campaign opener, the Steve Smith-led Rr overhauled the highest tournament total of 224 against Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) in their previous match. They are high on confidence as they take another step towards qualifying for the playoffs, though that is a bit far at the moment.
Rr opener Sanju Samson and skipper Smith smashed half-centuries in the game against Kxip. However, with the match slipping away from their hands, Haryana all-rounder Rahul Tewatia's blitzkrieg bought them back in the contest. Once again, all eyes will be on Samson, who has two half-centuries from as many games, and Tewatia, who smashed 53 off 31 balls against Kings XI Punjab.

Abu Dhabi, Sep 25 (Ians/GloFans) It's a game between two currently bottom-placed teams. Twice champions Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) will face 2016 winners SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh) here on Saturday. So far, both have played one match each and lost.
After a dismal show against defending champions Mumbai Indians in their campaign opener, Kkr will face the David Warner-led Srh, who went down to Royal Challengers Bangalore in their tournament opener. Both teams will now be craving for a win to gain confidence.
With the likes of Andre Russell and Eoin Morgan in their middle-order, Kkr have the capability to overhaul any given target. However, the duo failed to capitalise against Mumbai and the Dinesh Karthik-led Kkr ended up on the losing side.
Despite the losses, both the sides are well aware of each other's strengths and will surely not take the contest lightly.
