Indian junior Women’s team brought glory for the Nation by winning the first edition of U19 T20WC held in South Africa. Now the whole Country is expecting same result from our senior women’s team also. It will be very tough task for Harmanpreet and co. but every cricket fan in India is now hopeful of Women in Blue. If the girls able to do this, then this will be the 1st ICC Trophy for Women’s senior team. So we can expect a solid performance from our side.


This WC is also going to be fun as, the Women’s Premier League (WPL), which is going to be start from this year onwards in India, is just after the WC. And player auction for this season is on 13th February, just two days after starting of WC. So this will boost the energy for the players and they will try to impress the franchises, although there will few games before the auction.


Playing WC for your country is different feeling all-together, and players will be very excited for this opportunity. Yes, they will be excited for the auction happening in Mumbai on 13th but the motivation will be at the highest level for them to lift the trophy for their Nation. Indian team have come closer to that Champions title, but somehow missed that in recent years. But at the moment each one in the team as well as fans sitting at home hopeful of that huge success.


All the best to each teams. Especially our team India…

Time for Transition

-
  It’s time for Transition now   The time has come now for a complete changeover in team India. From the current set of players, there are most of players were part of that last ICC event, which was won by India, way back in 2013. Since that it’s been almost 10 years now, where we are still searching for that glory. The same set up is continued till now, but certainly failed in crunch moments. So, now with this T20 WC campaign is over, and the next one is in 2024, team India should try a new set of players in the combination.   With the next WC of 50 overs is very near from this time and as we are in the middle of the Test Championship in this cycle, so we can still continue with this core of players till next year. But post that we will also have to make that transition there. Most of these players are now at their end of their carrier and some are also with injury issues, so continuing with them might not be ideal.   For some players like Rohit, D...

India tour to New Zealand, What we got?

-
  What we got from New Zealand Tour?   Just after the T20 World Cup, Indian team travelled to New Zealand for a limited over series for 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs. Team India picked two different teams for two different format, where some of the senior players were rested. Hardik had given the T20Is captaincy, while Shikhar Dhawan had given the ODI captaincy.   The series started and ended with frustration as the complete tour was affected by rain. Only two games were possible completely across two formats. In T20 series 1 st game was a complete washout, 2 nd game was easily won by India, while the 3 rd game was ended with a tie in DLS method, which resulted in series 1-0 in favor of India.   In the other hand 1 st ODI was a good outing for the hosts as they chased a 300+ total quite easily and took a 1-0 lead in 3 match series. The remaining two games couldn’t end completely due to rain. Only 12 to 13 overs were possible in 2 nd game while 3 rd match was a...

Rohit Sharma Retired from Tests

  Rohit Sharma Retired from Test Cricket Picture Source: Google  Whenever an Indian Cricketer announces his retirement, it’s always an emotional feeling. Recently, India’s Test Captain Rohit Sharma has announced his retirement from the longest format of the cricket. Well it’s not surprising at all, that, it came over on just a normal social media post. It’s very rare to find, players officially announcing their farewell and ending their career in the ground, while playing. Well, many will feel it as a shocking news. But, it was quite understandable. Since, the Home series against Kiwis and the BGT in Australia were so bad that, BCCI and Selectors had to think about that. Rohit the Captain and the batter failed terribly there. More than the leadership, it was Rohit’s batting form which was more concerning. He was terrible after that home series against England in early 2024 in red ball format. He had managed to score only 164 runs from his last 15 innings, averaged 10.9 in this...
