"Certain Players Get Protection": India Star On Suryakumar's Many Chances

Known as a 360-degree player for his ability to play all around the ground, Suryakumar Yadav registered his third consecutive golden duck on Wednesday in the third and final ODI against Australia. Suryakumar, who is currently the no. 1 batter in T20I rankings, was bowled first ball by Ashton Agar in the 36th over during India's 270-run chase in Chennai. Suryakumar's struggles in the series has led to heavy criticism from the experts, with some of them even questioning his place in India's ODI team.

As far as his record in ODI cricket is concerned, Suryakumar has scored just 433 runs in 21 innings, averaging just over 24.

In a series of tweets, former India spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan lashed out at the team management for picking Suryakumar in all formats just based on his reputation in the shortest format of the game.

"Fine example of how only certain players get protection, SKY great example. T20 cricket is different from 50 overs cricket. Just don't segregate Red ball and white-ball cricket. Oh SKY was part of the Test team. You can't pick a player based on T20 performance for all formats," Sivaramakrishnan said in a tweet.

"It requires great ability to be innovative but if that is the only way you play, you will get found out in slightly longer formats, be it 50 overs or Test matches. Anyway, GOOD MORNING ALL," he added in another tweet.

Despite criticism from former players, India skipper Rohit Sharma has backed the 32-year-old as an important prospect for the ODI World Cup on home soil later this year.

Skipper Ashleigh Gardner starred with both bat and ball, leading Gujarat Giants to a comprehensive six-wicket win over UP Warriorz in their Women's Premier League match in Vadodara on Sunday. Gardner (2/39) claimed two wickets and then scored a stylish 32-ball 52, her second consecutive fifty, as Gujarat registered their first win of the third edition of the tournament, following a loss in the opening game to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Opting to bowl, Gujarat produced a clinical effort with young spinner Priya Mishra returning impressive figures of 4-0-25-3. Skipper Gardner, Deandra Dottin (2/34), and Kashvee Gautam (1/15) also played key roles in restricting UPW to 143 for nine. Chasing 144 to win, the Giants were reduced to 22 for 2 with opener Beth Mooney and Dayalan Hemalata back in the pavilion after UPW introduced spin at both ends. However, Gardner produced an inspired knock, adding 55 runs off 42 balls with Laura Wolvaardt (22) to resurrect the innings. Gardner struck t...

'Not Taught About Sambhaji': Ex-Cricketer's 'Aurangzeb' Remarks Start Debate

The Vicky Kaushal-starrer movie 'Chhaava', based on the life and times of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj - the second ruler of the Maratha Confederacy and son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has received positive response from audience across the country. Apart from Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Rashmika Mandanna (as Yesubai Bhonsale), Akshaye Khanna (as Aurangzeb), Ashutosh Rana (as Hambirrao Mohite), Diana Penty (as Zinat-un-Nissa Begum) and Divya Dutta (as Soyarabai) play prominent roles in the movie.   Former India cricket team star Aakash Chopra also liked the movie. He, however, raised some questions after watching the film.  "Watched Chhaava today. Incredible tale of bravery, selflessness and the sense of duty.  Genuine question—why were we not taught about Chattrapati Sambhaji Maharaj at all in school? Not even a mention anywhere!!!  We did learn though how Akbar was a great and fair emperor, and even have a very prominent road called Auran...
