Bangladesh Legends get points for the first time in Road Safety World Series 

The match between Bangladesh
Legends and India Legends of Road Safety World Series has been abandoned due to
rain on Sunday (September 22). Both the teams get two points.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/bd-legends-vs-india-legends-25_09_2022.jpg">Chasing 122 runs, India opener
Naman Ojha was dismissed in the third over by Abdur Razzak. When India’s team
total was at 29 runs for 1 wicket after 4 overs, the rain came again. Earlier, India's
innings got off to a late start due to rain. But after that, it was not
possible to continue the match again.
India won the toss and sent
Bangladesh to bat first. Bangladesh's two openers Mehrab Hossain and Nazmus
Sadat scored runs slowly from the beginning. Bangladesh lost the first wicket at
12 runs. Mehrab was trapped lbw by Abhimanyu Mithun in the fourth over. He
scored 3 runs off 8 balls.
Aftab Ahmed, who came at three,
increased the rate of the runs. In the sixth over, he hit three fours in a row
in Manpreet Gony’s over. At the end of the powerplay, the scorecard of the team
stood at 32 runs for 1 wicket.
But Aftab could not increase his
score. H caught out for 20 runs off 14 balls with 3 fours. This right-handed
batsman was sent back by Vinay Kumar in the 7th over, when
Bangladesh collected 37 runs.
Alok Kapali (4) also returned
after being run out. Then Pragyan Ojha dismissed Sadat. This opener played 30
balls but did not hit any boundaries, scored only 16 runs. Bangladesh scored 49
runs for 4 wickets in the first 10 overs. Abul Hasan (2), Elias Sunny (5),
Khaled Mashud Pilot (2) could not score any significant runs with the bat.
Dhiman Ghosh scored 23 runs off 24
balls which was the highest in Bangladesh innings. In the end, Bangladesh
scored 121 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs, thanks to Mohammad Sharif's 11, Dolar
Mahmud's 16 and Abdur Razzak's 13 runs.

Shahbaz Ahmed replaces injured Washington Sundar in India squad 

India have named Shahbaz Ahmed as
the replacement for all-rounder Washington Sundar on Tuesday (August 16) for the upcoming Zimbabwe series. Sundar has
been ruled out of the Zimbabwe tour due to a left shoulder injury sustained
during the Royal London One Day Cup.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/shahbaz-ahmed-16_08_2022.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">Shahbaz is yet to make his debut
in international cricket. This 27-year-old cricketer bats in the lower middle-order
and bowls left-handed. Although he was born in Haryana, he played for Bengal in
domestic cricket. 
This all-rounder plays for Royal
Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He played some
crucial role in this year’s IPL to pick up wins for his team. He scored 219
runs with an average of 27.38 and took 4 wickets. 
Shahbaz's career in recognized
cricket is not very big. He made his debut in first class, list ‘A’ in 2018. He
has been playing in IPL since 2020. This all-rounder scored 662 runs with the
bat in 21 innings of 26 matches in List 'A' cricket. He took 24 wickets with
the ball with an economy rate of 4.43.
The three-match ODI series
between India and Zimbabwe will start from August 18 with the next two ODIs on
August 20 and August 22.

Jadeja likely to part away with Chennai Super Kings 

Ravindra Jadeja has been a
regular member of Chennai Super Kings for several years. Chennai had also put
the captain's armband on Jadeja before the start of the Indian Premier League
(IPL) this year. However, he lost the leadership role during the event. Even Chennai
have no good relationship with Jadeja now. There are even rumors that the
relationship has already ended.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/jadeja-15_08_2022.jpg">According to media in India,
Jadeja's separation with Chennai is almost certain. After the 2022 IPL, Jadeja
left the team hotel and has no further association with the team. He was never
even contacted by team, reported the influential Times of India.
“CSK insiders still insist Dhoni
sincerely believed that Jadeja’s place in the Indian T20 team could come under
scanner if he didn’t perform in the IPL and that’s why he was relieved of his
captaincy,” a Times of India report read.
A few more hints have also been
found. Jadeja deleted all his tweets about Chennai Super Kings in the past.
Indian cricketers in IPL inform the franchise even if they get injured.
However, Chennai did not know anything about Jadeja's injury, as he quietly
continued his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore.
It is also clear that the Chennai
franchise is no longer considering Jadeja. Chennai made a video message with
teammates on the occasion of MS Dhoni's birthday. While everyone else was
there, Jadeja, the once important member, was absent.
The team's conflict with Jadeja
started mainly over the captaincy issue. Before the start of the tournament,
Jadeja was given the captaincy role. However, the team's performance under him
was poor. In the middle, Jadeja was removed from the leadership and the
responsibility of the captain was once again placed on Dhoni's shoulders. Since
then, this popular all-rounder has broken ties with Chennai Super Kings.

Gaikwad reckons IPL 2022 pitches were bowler friendly

Ruturaj Gaikwad is turning out to be one of the rising stars in the present era. He hogged the limelight when he finished as the leading run scorer in the IPL 2021 season. The right-handed batter also went on to win the Orange Cap.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/ruturaj-gaikwad-15_06_2022.jpg">Ruturaj Gaikwad However, he failed to bring the best game out of himself in the IPL 2022 season. He struggled to find form in the first half of the season. Despite his string of low scores, he managed to turn things around by scoring 368 runs in 14 games. He registered his personal best score of 99 and ended up as the leading run-scorer for CSK in the last season. The 25-year-old has opened up that the pitches in IPL 2022 were bowler-friendly. The conditions were tailor-made for the bowlers as it helped them generate turn and swing. 

The Maharashtra-born further added that he was dismissed for good deliveries in a few matches where the balls went straight in the fielders. As a result, he departed for cheap scores.&nbsp;Needless to say, the opening batter further added that it is all part of the T20 game as there will be some bad days at the office. He also stressed the fact that it is more important to remain consistent mentally which is the ultimate key to success.<h2>It is all about trusting your process: Ruturaj Gaikwad</h2>“I think in the IPL in 2-3 games I got out to good balls where some dismissals you know good shots went into the fielder’s hand. I think that is part of T20 cricket, you won’t have your days every day, you will have off days. It is just a matter of staying consistent mentally and trusting your process,” said Gaikwad in a press conference.“In the IPL, the wickets were slightly I would say, bowler-friendly because there was not much, I would say flat wicket, two-paced wickets, the ball was turning, there was some swing and all," he further added.Gaikwad played exceptionally well during the third T20I against Proteas. He scored 57 off 35 balls with the help of seven boundaries and two sixes.

Lynn dominating Vitality T20 Blast 

Australian batsman Chris Lynn is one
of the most destructive batsmen in world cricket. However, the Australian
cricketer did not get a team in this year's edition of the Indian Premier
League (IPL). But forgetting this, he’s in the terrible form in the ongoing
vitality blast.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/lynn-10_06_2022.jpg">In the past, Lynn played in the
IPL for Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Deccan Chargers and Kolkata Knight
Riders. However, no franchise showed interest in buying him in this year’s IPL auction.
After the start of such a tournament, teams had opportunities to buy Lynn
because of the injury problems of the foreign cricketers, but no one reached
out to him.
The popular star of the franchise
league and T20 cricket seems to be responding to that negligence with magnificent
performances. He is playing devastating innings one after another for Northamptonshire.
The 32-year-old star has been
dismissed for zero in one match after batting in six matches so far. He has
scored two centuries and two half-centuries in the remaining five innings.
After an unbeaten innings of 83, 106 and 61, he played another unbeaten innings
of 113 on Thursday (June 9).
The right-handed batsman remained
unbeaten on 113 off just 57 balls against Worcestershire, hitting eight fours
and nine sixes. Without any doubt, he’s the highest run-scorer in the
tournament with 379 runs at an average of 94.75! Where the strike rate is 166.22.

Kiran More says, Hardik Pandya is now a four-dimensional player

Hardik Pandya has silenced the critics with his exploits in IPL 2022. He played 15 games and averaged 44.27 for 487 runs, including four half-centuries.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/hardik-pandya-03_06_2022.jpg"><a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/727/hardik-pandya">Hardik Pandya</a> was named Man of the Match in the 2022 IPL Finals for his all-around performance on the field. Pandya led his team to glory in an impressive racquet campaign. Not many gave them a chance to make it to the playoffs after the mega auction, let alone go all the way in this year's competition. After triumphing in his first IPL stint as captain, former Indian cricketer Kiran More has praised Hardik's fabulous performance at the 2022 IPL.The all-rounder hasn't had the best times in recent months. He carried injuries that limited his bowling time and was also dropped from the national team. But this season we saw a different Pandya as he moved up the batting order and played responsible shots for his team at crucial points in their campaign. The hard-hitting batter amassed 487 runs this season with four half-centuries to his name.Former Indian cricketer <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/8106/kiran-more">Kiran More</a> spoke about Hardik Pandya and explained why he believes Hardik Pandya is now a 4th dimensional cricketer. “The best moment for me in IPL 15 was the way the Gujarat Titans played cricket. It was outstanding. And especially when Hardik became captain and won the trophy, his personal performance was just as brilliant. Moving from Mumbai Indians to Gujarat Titans, it's not that easy to go and lead the new team and immediately win the championship," Kiran More said on the SG Podcast. 

Kiran More recalled Hardik Pandya's early days in the sport as he used to play in his academy. “To me, Hardik was a young kid who wanted to perform all the time. I now believe that he is a fourth dimensional player now. He used to be a three-dimensional player because he was a bowler, batsman, and fielder, but now he's also a captain. So you are proud to have such a talented cricketer in the national team," More added.

"Bishnoi will be a big star for India in upcoming years" - Rashid Khan makes a bold statement

The newly added franchise Gujarat Titans have won the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League with their skipper Hardik Pandya. The Baroda all-rounder led side beat Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals in the finals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and announced their arrival in their style. Moreover, one of their top performers this season, Rashid Khan has been the best with the ball for Gujarat Titans. The Afghan skipper scalped 19 wickets after getting featured in all matches for his team. In addition to that, the right-arm leggie was also impressed with the bat, scoring 90 runs with a strike rate of 206.81. He once again showed how economical he is with the ball, as he bowled at an economy of 6.61. 

I’ve talked to him quite a few times: Rashid Khan
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/ravi-bishnoi-1-01_06_2022.jpg">Ravi-Bishnoi
The Afghanistan spinner has applauded Ravi Bishnoi and also stated that he talked to him on several occasions this season. He featured in all 14 games for Lucknow Super Giants and scalped 13 wickets for his team. "Bishnoi is a young talent. I’ve talked to him quite a few times. In the upcoming years, he will be a big star for India. If he trusts his skills and continues to back them up, he will definitely be a big bowler for India," Rashid Khan was quoted a saying by cricket.com. 

Moreover, he also shared a few words about the Indian leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal who has been impressed with the ball for both Royal Challengers Bangalore and for the Indian team. "Definitely, the way he performed for RCB and India, he is the best spinner. He bowled the tough overs for India and RCB, which is very difficult. He has played most of the matches in Bangalore, which is a smaller ground, and he showed his skills brilliantly," said Rashid Khan.

I can bet that he will score 110 centuries: Shoaib Akhtar on Virat Kohli

Former Pakistan pace great Shoaib
Akhtar has urged everyone to give Virat Kohli the respect he deserves and also
gives a direct message to Kohli to not be afraid. The pacer also says that
Kohli will hit 110 centuries in his career.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/kohli-31_05_2022.jpg">The former India captain has been
in pretty poor form in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) for Royal
Challengers Bangalore. He scored just 341 runs in 16 matches at an average of
22.73. His strike-rate was not good too. The 33-year-old batsman has not been
in good form in the international cricket too as he has not scored any century
since November 2019 and is stuck at 70 centuries for a long time.
So, many former cricketers and fans
are giving much suggestions to the batsman, some are criticizing also. However,
the former speedster Shoaib Akhtar gives the support to Kohli and said, <blockquote>"You
say good things about Virat Kohli. Give him respect. Why do you not give Virat
Kohli respect? As a Pakistani I am saying, he is the greatest pl\ayer of all
time. I can bet that he will score 110 centuries.”</blockquote>
He also added, "Don't get
afraid and you have to play till the age of 45. The current situation is
preparing you to hit 110 centuries. People are writing you off, they are
tweeting against you. You put out a post on Diwali, you are criticised.&nbsp; They tweet about your wife, your kid. Nothing
can be worse than this. Nature is preparing you to score 110 tons. So, keep my
words in mind and start slogging it out from today itself."
Kohli has been rested for the upcoming T20I series of India
against South Africa. However, he’ll back for the Test against England in July.

Brett Lee compares Umran Malik to legendary Pakistani Pacer Waqar Younis

Former Australian pacesetter Brett Lee is quite impressed with India's rising star Umran Malik, comparing him to Pakistan's legendary pacesetter Waqar Younis for his sheer pace and run-up.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/umran-malik-brett-lee-31_05_2022.jpg">Former Australian cricketer <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/48168/brett-lee">Brett Lee </a>compared Indian speedster Umran Malik to former Pakistani pacer Waqar Younis, saying Malik's game reminded him of the legendary Pacer. Malik has been praised by many legendary players and everyone wants to see the youngster play for India.Malik's hard work for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2022 IPL paid off well for him as he received his first national call-up for the upcoming home series against South Africa. Malik consistently clocked his deliveries at over 90 mph, making it difficult for opposing batters to attempt a big throw on his delivery.Brett Lee said: "I'm a big fan. I think Umran Malik has a lot of pace to burn. He's a competitor, a top guy, breaking in like a lot of fast bowlers in the past. Waqar Younis is the person that comes to mind.” 

The Jammu-born pacesetter has been included in India's T20I squad for the upcoming series against South Africa after impressing everyone in the recently concluded Indian Premier League when he represented Sunrisers Hyderabad.Last month, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan also compared him to Waqar Younis, saying: "The first time I saw him bowl was when I was playing for Jammu and Kashmir and mentoring them. Watching him bowl reminded me of the great Waqar Younis.” 

The lightning-fast bowler had a fantastic season, winning 22 wickets in 14 games with an average of 20.18. At 157 km/h against the Delhi Capitals, he became the fastest Indian bowler in IPL history. 

The Australian pacesetter also advised Umran to keep working on his action, run-up and wrist positions as these will never be perfect, but he can improve and refine them over time as he worked on his action himself until his retirement would have.<a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/114120/waqar-younis">Waqar Younis</a>, who brought down the curtain on his glorious career in 2003, represented Pakistan for a decade and a half, taking 373 Test and 416 ODI wickets. He has the most five-wicket hauls in One Day Internationals (on 13 occasions).The 23-year-old Umran also received his first international call-up for the upcoming 5-game T20I series against South Africa.

The former Test opener named Hardik as captain. Chopra reasoned the same, going on to say that the Baroda cricketer not only led well but also demonstrated his ability with his all-around ability through his strong middle order performances and bowling angle in the final.Hardik Pandya diligently led Captain: Aakash Chopra 
The cricketer-turned-expert also named Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik as his captain as well as player of the tournament. He stated: 


 
“Together with him I kept <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/661/kl-rahul">KL Rahu</a>l. I thought about Quinton de Kock and Shubman Gill, but about KL Rahul - more than 600 runs over two centuries. Once again eat, sleep and get 600 runs in the IPL. The form is temporary, KL Rahul is permanent. 

“I had polled for #3 – Deepak Hooda or Rahul Tripathi. I chose Rahul Tripathi, about 80% also voted for Rahul Tripathi. After that, my player of the tournament name is Hardik Pandya - he's captain, bowler and batter. He is also the captain of this team.”Punjab Kings batter<a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/48436/liam-livingstone"> Liam Livingstone</a>, Gujarat Titans batter David Miller and Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Andre Russell were the next three players on Chopra's team of the tournament. He explained: 

 “In fifth place I have Liam Livingstone. He's a six shot machine and has done amazingly well this year. In 6th place you had to think about who to keep – DK (Dinesh Karthik) could have been there but I actually went with David Miller because he had an unforgettable season.” 

Meanwhile, the four bowlers in his best XI of the season were Rajasthan Royals leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, Lucknow Super Giants pacer Avesh Khan, Gujarat Titans pacer Mohammed Shami and Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh. He stated: 

“In my four bowlers there is a weirdo, his name is Yuzi Chahal. He is the owner of the Purple Cap. Rashid Khan and Wanindu Hasaranga could have been there too, but my four overseas slots are up. 

“Avesh Khan is by my side. I thought of Mohsin Khan, Umran Malik and Prasidh Krishna but I still go with Avesh Khan - less bad days. After that I went with Mohammed Shami, he was amazing. Last but not least at number 11 is Arshdeep Singh. In my opinion, he was once again the standout bowler.”Aakash Chopra’s IPL 2022 XI: Jos Buttler, KL Rahul, Rahul Tripathi, Hardik Pandya (c), Liam Livingstone, David Miller, Andre Russell, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh.
