As the World Cup approaches, the focus is on fine-tuning the team and ensuring that players are in the best possible form and positions for the tournament.

Bangar believes that both Indian cricket team coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma share his viewpoint on team selection. He states, “I feel that Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid will be thinking the same thing. I think they will play only with batsmen who make the proper combinations, and who make the final starting eleven, they should get most of the playing time.”

Bangar concludes by emphasizing the need for a consistent and established playing XI to maintain momentum and maximize the team’s chances of success, discouraging experimental changes solely for the sake of providing game time to a player.

Prasad commended the efforts of Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid in providing Suryakumar with a clear role within the team. This newfound role clarity is expected to alleviate the pressures on Suryakumar and allow him to thrive in his preferred finisher’s role. MSK Prasad is optimistic that this development will enable Suryakumar to strategize effectively and perform at his best in the upcoming ODI World Cup.

Suryakumar Yadav exhibited a stunning performance, smashing 83 runs off 44 balls, propelling India to a seven-wicket victory over the West Indies in the third Twenty20 international in Guyana on Tuesday. This triumph has kept India’s hopes alive in the series.

Following the early dismissals of T20 debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill during their pursuit of 160 runs, Suryakumar Yadav took center stage with a dazzling innings encompassing 10 fours and four sixes. His dynamic display came to an end when he was caught out on an Alzarri Joseph full toss to deep backward square leg. However, Tilak Varma remained unbeaten on 49, and captain Hardik Pandya sealed the win with a decisive six, leaving 13 balls unused.

West Indies’ skipper Rovman Powell played a pivotal role in propelling his team to a total of 159/5 after choosing to bat upon winning the toss in Providence. He contributed a rapid 40 not out. Brandon King scored 42 runs at a run-a-ball rate, while opener Kyle Mayers (25) and Nicholas Pooran (20) also made noteworthy contributions.

India’s left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, replacing Ravi Bishnoi, led the bowling charge with figures of 3/28. Axar Patel and Mukesh Kumar secured a wicket each.

This victory by India narrowed the West Indies’ series lead to 2-1, following their four-run loss in the series opener and the dramatic two-wicket defeat on Sunday.

The West Indies are striving to secure their first series victory of two or more matches against India in any format since 2016. Prior to this T20I success, India had emerged triumphant in the preceding two-Test series (1-0) and the ODIs (2-1) against the West Indies.

England Test captain Ben Stokes won the Wisden Cricketer of the Year award. Stokes also won the Test Cricketer of the Year award a few days ago. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav won the Wisden T20 Cricketer of the Year. Ben Stokes spent the year 2022 in bat-ball. England entered a new era under his leadership last year. Under his captaincy, England won 9 out of 10 Tests last year. Stokes played 15 Tests last year. He scored 870 runs in 15 Tests at an average of 36.25 and a strike rate of 71.54. He also scored 4 fifties along with two centuries. And throughout the year he averaged 31.19 and took 26 wickets. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav won the Wisden T20 Cricketer of the Year.

Suryakumar scored 1164 runs in 31 T20 last year. This is the second-highest run by a batsman in a single year in T20 history. In addition to this, Suryakumar has also set the record of a maximum of six in a year in T20 history. Meanwhile, Australian Beth Mooney won Wisden’s Women’s Player of the Year award. He won this award for the second time.

Steve Waugh’s all-conquering team stopped at the ‘Last Frontier’ in India. And Ajid’s current captain Pat Cummins termed the Test series on Indian soil an era-defining series. The series between top-ranked Australia and second-ranked India is heating up as always. David Warner and Steve Smith have said that a Test series win against India on their soil is a bigger achievement than a Tests win.

India’s spin attack is the challenge for Australia to make that achievement the crown jewel. India is fielding with three spinners on the spin-friendly wicket of Nagpur. Left-arm spin all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel will be partnering with Ravichandran Ashwin. Middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav and wicketkeeper-batsman Srikar will debut in the Indian jersey in the first Test.

Suryakumar, one of the most talked about batsmen in recent cricket, has made it into the Test team by showing excellent performances in the two shorter versions of cricket. Still, this series against Ajid is an acid test for him. Shubman Gill, who is in great form, was not included in the eleven to replace him. So the challenge is bigger for him. Australia also gave a big surprise while arranging the team for the first test. According to the pitch report, the challenge for the left-handed batsmen is a bit more on this wicket. Left-handers need to be extra careful playing good length balls off the stump.

So left-handed inform batter Travis Head has been replaced by right-handed Peter Handscomb. Australia reduced a left-handed batsman against India’s spin-based attack. Like India, Australia also has new faces in the XI. Right-handed off-break bowler Todd Murphy got the baggy green in this match. Against India’s bowling attack of two pacers and three spinners, Australia is going with two standards and two spinners. Australia XI: David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuchen, Steve Smith, Matt Renesh, Peter Handscomb, Alex Carey (wicketkeeper), Pat Cummins (captain), Nathan Lyon, Todd Murphy, and Scott Boland.

India XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Srikar Bharat (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Akshar Patel, Mohammad Shami, and Mohammad Siraj.
