We did what we had in our control, we had to adapt, apply on that ground and move on with the situation. But it was an exciting game. "Any game, ODI or T20I, low or high scoring, if there's competition in the game, wickets, I don't think, matter a lot.

Former India batter Wasim Jaffer has backed veteran spinner Yuzvendra Chahal to retain his place in the playing for the third and final T20I against New Zealand. After registering a narrow win in the second T20I, the hosts now eye a series win, having already sweeped the ODIs 3-0 against the Kiwis. On being asked if young speedster Umran Malik should replace Chahal in the playing XI, Jaffer suggested that the pacer is yet to learn the traits in order to succeed in the format. "It would be better to have Yuzvendra Chahal as New Zealand struggle against spinners and if there is a wrist-spinner, India must utilize it. As I mentioned previously, Umran Malik struggles in T20 cricket. He is yet to learn the variations needed to succeed in this format. So, in that way, Chahal is a better option," Jaffer said on ESPNcricinfo. Jaffer, however, did suggest a change in the playing XI. Considering recent form, he feels that the team management should rope in Prithvi Shaw for the … [Read more...] about “Yet To Learn…”: Wasim Jaffer Explains Why Young India Star Struggles In T20 Cricket | Cricket News

Suryakumar Yadav is the batting sensation of the cricketing world at the moment. He is the top batter in the list of ICC T20I batting rankings. What makes him a special batter is the combination of array of shots and a superb confidence that he carries with himself, irrespective of the situation. India's second T20I of the ongoing three-match series against New Zealand in Lucknow saw a similar performance from the star player. On the statistical front, Suryakumar Yadav scored only 26 not out off 31 balls, but considering the game situation, it was nothing short than a match-defining knock. The trio of Yuzvendra Chahal , Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav impressed on a helping surface to limit a self-destructing New Zealand to 99 for eight, their lowest total against India in the shortest format. It should have been a straight-forward run chase but the top-order comprising Ishan Kishan (19 off 32), Shubman Gill (11 off 9) and Rahul Tripathi (13 off 18) had a tough … [Read more...] about Suryakumar Yadav Indirectly Credits MS Dhoni For “Calm Attitude” On Challenging Tracks.

Chahal scalped one wicket in the match and took his total tally to 91 and surpassed Bhuvneshwar Kumar with 90 wickets.

As the Rohit Sharma -led side is gearing up for the upcoming ODI World Cup, former India selector Sunil Joshi stated that the 32-year-old spinner should play domestic cricket to regain his form. “Over a period any bowler will go through that phase. Probably Chahal is in that phase. Someone like Chahal, who is not able to get game time in the middle, probably he should request the team management to go and play domestic cricket. Match time is very important for him to get back into form. That should be … [Read more...] about “He Should Request Team Management To…”: Former Selector’s Advice To Yuzvendra Chahal | Cricket News
