Rohit's Impression In SKY Pipping Hardik As Captain? Report's Bold Claim

Indian cricket team is seeing winds of change after the 2024 T20 World Cup win. The side will now be guided by new head coach Gautam Gambhir. In the T20Is, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja will no longer play as Indian cricket enters a phase of transition. In the midst of this, India's tour of Sri Lanka (three T20Is and three ODIs) holds extra significance for a number of reasons. This will be Gambhir's first assignment as India coach and the sides picked for the two series may give an indication on what lies ahead. 

Earlier, it was widely reported that Hardik Pandya will be the captain for the T20I series. After the 2022 T20 World Cup, Pandya was seen as the long-term choice for India's T20I captaincy. However, situation changed and Rohit was made the captain for the T20 World Cup. But now, with Rohit retired from T20Is, Pandya - designated vice-captain for the 2024 T20 World Cup - was thought to be the automatic successor as India's T20I captain. 

But on Tuesday, several publications reported that Suryakumar Yadav has emerged as the dark horse for T20I captaincy with Hardik Pandya's continuous injury issues a reason behind Gautam Gambhir not being convinced over him being a long term option for T20I captaincy. 

Now, a report in Hindi daily Dainik Jagran has made an interesting claim. It said that Suryakumar's rise as an captaincy choice looks to have an impression of Rohit Sharma. All three players SKY, Rohit and Pandya play for Mumbai Indians in the IPL. In IPL 2024, Pandya replaced Rohit as MI captain. 

The report further claimed that Rohit and Gambhir will be working together in the long term in the ODI and Test formats. In fact, Rohit gave his nod for Gambhir's appointment as India coach. The report added Pandya is close to BCCI secretary Jay Shah.

Pandya had a huge impact in Rohit-led India clinching the T20 World Cup title. He took the crucial wicket of South Africa's half-centurion Heinrich Klaasen in the T20 World Cup final when the chips were down.

RCB "Will Just Retain Virat Kohli, Release Everyone Else": Ex-India Star

The Board of Control for Cricket in India released the IPL auction rules on Sunday. Each franchise can retain upto 6 players with Right To Match (RTM) option included in it. As the teams have started finalizing their picks ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, former India pacer RP Singh has passed a huge verdict on franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He said that the side will only retain Virat Kohli and release everyone else, relying on the RTM. Notably, Kohli is playing for RCB since the inaugural season of IPL. Kohli is the highest run-getter in IPL history with 8004 to his credit from 252 matches. He has scored 8 centuries, the most by any player in the tournament, and 55 half-centuries. "I feel they don't have any problem. They will just retain Virat Kohli, release everyone else, and use the RTM," RP Singh said during a discussion on Colors Cineplex. Given a total of 6 retentions, including RTM, are allowed, the IPL franchise can choose their combination for it. Howv

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T

T20 WC Live: Netherlands Face Sri Lanka In A Must-Win Game For Dutch

Sri Lanka vs Netherlands LIVE Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Netherlands may be out of the 2024 T20 World Cup even before their match against Sri Lanka ends, if Bangladesh beat Nepal. However, the Dutch need to beat Sri Lanka by a healthy scoreline to keep any hopes of qualifying to the Super 8 stage alive. The game also offers Sri Lanka a chance to get their first win, in what has been a hugely disappointing tournament for the 2014 champions. They would likely finish bottom of their group if they fail to win.
