Karachi, Sep 3 (Ians) Indian cricketer turned commentator, Dinesh Karthik prefers Pakistan pacers over India’s. He gave insights on the Pakistani trio of Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Shaheen Shah Afridi and counted them as deadly on Sri Lankan wickets.
Talking to Cricbuzz, Karthik stated, “Shaheen, Haris Rauf, and Naseem can bowl 90+ consistently and all three are very different. Shaheen Shah, obviously the left arm, has an angle to it and brings the ball back in, Naseem Shah swings the ball both ways, Haris is arguably one of the best bowlers right now at the back end of an inning because of his skid and the nasty bouncer that he’s got.”
On being asked whom he would prefer to bat on these wickets, he found Indian pacers comfortable to face. He mentioned the bounce that the Pakistani trio generated off the pitch as a reason not to play them.

New Delhi, Aug 19 (Ians) Former India wicketkeeper-batter Kiran More believes uncapped left-handed batter Rinku Singh has the potential to become a brilliant finisher, just like legendary batters Ms Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh.
Rinku excelled as a finisher for the Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) in Ipl 2023, with the most notable moment being him smacking Gujarat Titans pacer Yash Dayal for five sixes on the last five balls of the match in Ahmedabad to seal an improbable victory.
Overall, Rinku scored 474 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 149.53 in the tournament, where he was the designated finisher for Kkr. His strike-rate while batting in last five overs of the tournament shot up to 186.66, the best-ever for an Indian batter in the competition.
“I have been waiting for his opportunity in the Indian team. And that batting position, of No.5 and 6, he will perform well in that spot and can end up being a brilliant finisher.

Dublin, Aug 19 (Ians) India leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi said it was good to see stand-in captain and fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah back in action after being out for 11 months due to back injury and bowling in rhythm in the first T20I against Ireland at Malahide.
After conceding a boundary on his first delivery, Bumrah got the second ball to sharply move in and pick an inside edge off Andy Balbirnie’s bat to disturb the stumps. He then took out Lorcan Tucker, who miscued his ramp shot, in the same over.
He ended with figures of 2-24 in four overs, in what was a big positive for the Indian team in their two-run win via Dls method. Bumrah would also get the Player of the Match award, to complete a stunning comeback to international cricket.

London, July 29 (Ians) Veteran India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik said England skipper Ben Stokes falling to Australia off-spinner Todd Murphy on Day Three of the fifth and final Ashes Test was an example of the all-rounder’s mantra of ‘living and dying by the sword’ in the longest format of the game.
Stokes took his familiar aggressive option in a bid to take on Murphy, but he miscued the shot and holed out to mid-on, to fall for 42 off 67 balls.
During his innings, Stokes broke the record for the greatest number of sixes hit in an Ashes series, hitting his 15th maximum to go past Kevin Pietersen’s previous record of 14 hits over the fence.
“If you look at it generally, it’s a poor shot. But the way England have been batting, it’s a case of ‘you live by the sword, you die by the sword’. The way Stokes...

“I am intrigued to see how hard England go. They got bowled out at Edgbaston trying to set the game up early and gave Australia a sniff. Are they going to go hard again and chance those little collapses we saw on day one here or will it be a bit more circumspect? Will there be a mixture of out-and-out Bazball and traditional cricket?...

New Delhi, May 26 (Ians) Former Australian cricketer Tom Moody believes that the absence of Rajat Patidar exposed Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (Rcb) batting and had put an enormous amount of pressure on their ‘Big Three’ — Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis during the Ipl 2023 season.
Patidar did not feature in Rcb’s first game of the season due to heel injury and later ruled out of the tournament owing to the same.
Speaking on ESPNCricinfo, Moody highlighted how Kohli, Maxwell, and Faf handled the immense pressure caused by Patidar’s absence remarkably well and performed admirably. But the team struggled to identify a suitable player for the vacant batting position throughout the tournament.
“Rcb was challenged right from the beginning of the tournament when Patidar was made unavailable, the key figure at number three. It exposed their batting and put an enormous amount of pressure on their big three.

New Delhi, May 25 (Ians) Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has picked K.S. Bharat as his choice for India’s wicketkeeper ahead of the World Test Championship (Wtc) Final against Australia at The Oval from June 7-11, citing the edge he has with his extensive experience of keeping wickets in first-class cricket.
Bharat was the wicketkeeper for India in this ye’r’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy series with Rishabh Pant still recovering from injuries suffered in a serious car accident last year. Bharat got mixed results with bat and gloves as India won the series 2-1 to enter their second straight Wtc final.
Apart from him, left-handed wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan is there, drafted only after K.L. Rahul was ruled out due to a right thigh injury. “I think Bharat will be a pretty straightforward choice because playing Ishan Kishan in his debut and a Test match straight in the World Test Championship Final...

New Delhi, May 24 (Ians) India wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik has called for patience with prodigious young talent Yashasvi Jaiswal and believes that the talented batter doesn’t need to be fast-tracked into Odi setup especially for the Icc Mens Cricket World Cup this year.
Jaiswal shot to prominence when he topped the run charts at the 2020 Icc Men’s Under-19 Cricket World Cup and the 21-year-old has already replicated that form with some standout performances at the Ipl for the Rajasthan Royals.
Calls have been made for Jaiswal to be parachuted into India’s 50-over squad for this year’s World Cup on home soil, with former national coach Ravi Shastri recently suggesting the youngster could push for selection if injuries do arise to key players in the lead-up to the event. But Karthik is not sold on the idea.

Bengaluru, May 22 (Ians) Royal Challengers Bangalore head coach Sanjay Bangar believes things just were ‘not clicking’ for veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik to bring out his famed finishing knocks for the franchise in Ipl 2023.
Karthik’s failure to get finishing kicks for the team in Ipl 2023 hurt Bangalore a lot, apart from meagre returns from other middle-order batters too. In Ipl 2022, Karthik hit 330 runs at a strike rate of 183.33 in 16 matched and helped the side get desired finishing touches to their innings, which also paved his way into India’s squad for 2022 Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia.
“We tried to define the role for him. We made sure that he was walking in at the moments or in the phases where his strengths could have been maximised. And he had an outstanding season (last year). So I don’t think that his efforts or his preparation or the role...

Bengaluru, May 22 (Ians) After crashing out of Ipl 2023 through a six-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans despite making 197/5, thanks to Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 101, Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Faf du Plessis was quick in admitting that the side consistently missed couple of runs from the middle-order throughout their run in the tournament.
In the tournament, du Plessis, Kohli and Glenn Maxwell were highly touted as the big three for scoring a bulk of runs for the franchise and leading them to victories. With no Rajat Patidar in the batting line-up due to a heel injury which needed surgical intervention in England, the likes of Dinesh Karthik, Mahipal Lomror, Anuj Rawat and Shahbaz Ahmed failed to get big runs consistently and were unable to provide the required support to top three batters.

Bengaluru, May 22 (Ians) After a long wait of 55 minutes for Sunday’s game between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans to start due to rain, the crowd at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium was treated to spectacular one-man show from Virat Kohli, who coasted to his second consecutive century through an unbeaten 61-ball 101.
Kohli’s efforts of carrying his bat through the innings with 13 fours and a six at a strike-rate of 165.57 meant Bangalore posted a competitive 197/5, giving hopes to their die-hard fans in the stadium about reaching the playoffs and keeping the quest for the elusive trophy alive.
But Shubman Gill, the heir apparent of Kohli in the Indian batting line-up, sizzled with an unbeaten 104 off 52 balls, also his second straight Ipl century, laced with hitting five fours and eight sixes at a strike-rate of 200 to break countless Bangalore-supporting hearts in the stadium and steal Kohli’s thunder.

Bengaluru, May 21 (Ians) Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final league match of Ipl 2023 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday. But just three minutes before the start of play, rain arrived again, leading to pitch being covered quickly.
With Mumbai defeating bottom-ranked Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium by eight wickets, thanks to an unbeaten 47-ball century from Cameron Green and now at fourth place with 16 points, Bangalore have to beat table-toppers Gujarat to get into the playoffs.
After winning the toss, Hardik said his playing eleven is unchanged from their last game, where they won by 34 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad and decision to bowl first came due to the weather.
“Just want to know how much we are going to chase. For us to win games and continue the momentum, I believe in good habits.

New Delhi, May 19 (Ians) India wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik has backed Faf du Plessis to make an international comeback and believes South Africa will miss a trick if they don’t select the veteran for this year’s Icc Men’s Cricket World Cup.
Du Plessis has been a beacon of consistency while opening the batting alongside Virat Kohli for Royal Challengers Bangalore in Ipl 2023, with the in-form batter having already amassed more than 700 runs for his side.
In 13 games, Du Plessis has notched 702 runs at an average of 58.50 and a strike-rate of 153.94, with the South African having scored eight half-centuries to help get the Bangalore-based franchise off to a solid start on numerous occasions.
Karthik, who has been du Plessis’ teammate at Rcb for a couple of years, hasn’t been surprised by the former South African skipper’s consistency and believes the 38-year-old still has a lot to offer at international level.

The big crowd had turned up to see Kohli play a trademark innings but were treated to an Afro-Aussie special from Maxwell and Du Plessis. Rcb suffered a wobble in the death overs and thanks to a cameo from Dinesh Karthik fell just short of the 200-run mark.
Jason Behrendorff was the best of the Mumbai bowlers, claiming 3-36 off his four overs.

Mumbai, May 9 (Ians) Recently-inducted Chris Jordan was handed his debut for Mumbai Indians as skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Match No. 54 of Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium, here on Tuesday.
Jordan comes in place of his English compatriot Jofra Archer, who left for home to manage the rehabilitation of his injury.
“Good pitch, chased down targets well, a good opportunity to have runs in front of us,” said Rohit at the toss.
“(It’s a) Typical Mumbai pitch. Has a bit of grass cover, but there are some dry patches. Not sure how it’ll play. We’ve never looked at the table so much, focused on playing good cricket, rest will take care of itself,” the Mumbai Indians skipper added.
Royal Challengers Bangalore too made one change in their playing XI with Vijaykumar Vyshak coming in for Karn Sharma.

Left-handedness of Axar Patel was used as either at number six or seven in the absence of Ravindra Jadeja, till India brought Rishabh Pant, who was not a guaranteed starter, in place of Dinesh Karthik in the middle-order. But it was too late an addition as Pant didn’t leave the desired impact as an explosive left-handed batter against Zimbabwe, as well as in the semi-final against England.
In Ipl 2023, it has been witnessed that a younger crop of uncapped left-handed batters have emerged to be mainstays for their respective teams in middle as well as lower order. For Suresh Raina, a former left-handed batter for India and Chennai Super Kings, Rinku Singh and Tilak Varma are promising left-handed batting prospects for the national team in middle-order.
"Rinku Singh and Tilak Varma impressed me the most because these two play in the middle-order. Sometimes it becomes very important to see...

New Delhi, May 6 (Ians) Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and opted to bat first against Delhi Capitals in Match No. 50 of Ipl 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, here on Saturday.
Rcb skipper Faf du Plessis informed that they have added experienced Kedar Jadhav to their team for this game.
“We are going to have a bat, looks like a dry surface, and hopefully there won’t be dew tonight. T20 cricket has got to do a lot with momentum, we got to assess the conditions and post a good score. We have got a lot of away games, for me it’s not an issue,” said Du Plessis at the toss.
“With this new Impact Player rule, you can be so flexible. We have batted well in the top four, and we have done the bulk of the scoring. Kedar Jadhav — the old man, he comes back for us,...

Chennai, May 6 (Ians) Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma’s poor run of form in Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 continued when he was dismissed for a three-ball duck by Deepak Chahar during his side’s match against Chennai Super Kings in Ipl 2023 at the Ma Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday.
It is also Rohit’s 16th duck in the Ipl, the most for any batter in the history of the competition. He has surpassed Dinesh Karthik, Mandeep Singh and Sunil Narine, who are now joint second with 15 ducks each.
Rohit, who had scored a three-ball duck in his previous game against Punjab Kings at Mohali, decided to bat at No.3 in Chennai, with Australia all-rounder Cameron Green opening the batting with Ishan Kishan.
But the plan backfired spectacularly as Green fell in the second over, while Kishan was dismissed in the third over. Rohit, who did not open for Mumbai the last time in 2018 against Delhi Capitals,...

Lucknow, May 2 (Ians) Josh Hazlewood and Karn Sharma picked two wickets each in a superb bowling performance on a sluggish black soil pitch as Royal Challengers Bangalore defended a modest 126 and beat Lucknow Super Giants by 18 runs at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday.
Apart from the duo, Mohammed Siraj, Glenn Maxwell, Wanindu Hasaranga and Harshal Patel took a wicket each to bowl out Bangalore for 108 in 19.5 overs as Lucknow’s batters didn’t show any application and patience for stitching partnerships to chase down a small total.
The win has also taken Bangalore to ten points and fifth place on a better net run rate, while Lucknow have slipped to third place but still have ten points. Bangalore had an early breakthrough on the second ball of their defence as Kyle Mayers pulled straight to mid-on against Siraj. Krunal Pandya injects some momentum...

Lucknow, May 1 (Ians) Stellar efforts from fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq and the leg-spin duo of Ravi Bishnoi and Amit Mishra helped Lucknow Super Giants restrict Royal Challengers Bangalore to a modest 126/9 in 20 overs at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday.
On a challenging black soil pitch, Bangalore began their innings well by not losing wickets in the Power-play. But as the innings progressed, they kept losing wickets as Naveen picked 3-30 while Bishnoi and Mishra had identical figures of 2-21 to tie down Bangalore.
Barring a 44 from captain Faf du Plessis, Bangalore’s batters weren’t given any breathing space to break the shackles and could only hit eight boundaries in their innings, the lowest by any team in Ipl 2023 till now.
On the first ball of the innings, Krunal Pandya got a turn and bounce, showing signs of what would come in the game.
