Ishan Handed Comeback Route To India Squad, Has To Impress In This Tourney

With no international cricket action for Team India till the start of the two-Test series against Bangladesh on September 18, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has found a new way to keep the national team players in shape. The BCCI have decided to involve senior players in the four-team Duleep Trophy. Set to be held in Andhra Pradesh, the first round will be played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, before the Bangladesh series. The Duleep Trophy may also provide a path for outcasts like Ishan Kishan to find their way back into Team India's setup.

Kishan has not played for India in any format in 2024, having been left out of BCCI's central contracts due to reportedly not agreeing to play domestic cricket. However, after several months in the wilderness, Kishan may have a chance to impress now.

Unlike previous years, the Duleep Trophy will shift from a zonal format to a more national format, with the four teams being India A, B, C and D. Each squad will be picked by the national selection committee, presently headed by Ajit Agarkar.

With new head coach Gautam Gambhir involved in this, senior India players, ranging from Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal to Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin have been recommended to play the 2024-25 Duleep Trophy. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been given the choice, whilst Jasprit Bumrah will be rested in order to manage his workload.

As per a report by Cricbuzz, Kishan is expected to be called up for the Duleep Trophy, implying that he is in the selection plans going forward. Impressive performances by Kishan in the Duleep Trophy could hand him a road back into Team India.

The Duleep Trophy games will be held between 5-8 September and 12-15 September.

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...
