Kishan on being dropped: I asked myself one question, can I do it or not

During his two years of international wilderness, Ishan Kishan did some necessary soul-searching and asked himself one question: "Can I again wear that India jersey and perform?" The answer was an emphatic yes and the result was a destructive 76 off 32 balls in his second international game since comeback, making a target of 209 set by New Zealand in the second T20I seem like a walk in the park. After deservingly getting the player of the match award, Kishan was asked what did he tell himself when he was dropped from the Indian team, and he said: "I asked myself one question (his comeback) - can I do it again or not? And I had a very clear answer." Kishan was a perfect example of going back to the domestic grind and starting with a bottom-up approach by playing tournaments like Buchi Babu Trophy and DY Patil before leading Jharkhand to their maiden Syed Mushtaq Ali National T20 title with a 500-plus run season. "I was just looking to score runs (in domestic cricket). Sometimes it's

Surya showed why he is rated the world's best T20 batter, says Shivam Dube

Shivam Dube had the best seat in the house as he enjoyed his Mumbai mate Suryakumar Yadav finally display the wide range of shots he is known for. It was Suryakumar's first fifty plus score after 23 innings, silencing his doubters ahead of the T20 World Cup at home next month. The Indian captain shared an unbeaten 81-run stand with Dube as India made short work of the 209-run target set by New Zealand. Batting ahead of Hardik Pandya considering the left-right combination, Dube made an 18-ball 36. "I was asked about Surya's form in a press conference not so long ago. That's when I said that he is the type of player, when he will show his form, the world will know what type of player he is. So, today he showed Suryakumar Yadav, why he is the number one T20 batter. "So, I enjoyed a lot. And it felt really good to see him," said Dube. Before Suryumar-Dube stand, Kishan took the game away from the opposition with a 32-ball 76 in his comeback series.. "Ishaan is one of the best left ha

India name Pratika Rawal, Vaishnavi Sharma, Kranti Gaud for Australia Tests

India's World Cup winning star Pratika Rawal along with left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma and seamer Kranti Gaud received their maiden long-format call-ups for the one-off Test against Australia to be held at Perth from March 6 to 9. The 15-member squad will be led by Harmanpreet Kaur, and the Test will follow the white ball format matches (3 T20Is, 3 ODIs), beginning from February 15. Pratika's inclusion was a formality after her stirring efforts in the ODIs, 1110 runs from 24 matches at an average of 50.45 with two hundreds and seven fifties. It also meant that the opening batter had sufficiently recovered from her ankle injury that forced her to sit out of last year's women's ODI World Cup semifinal and final. However, the 25-year-old is not a part of India's white ball trip to Australia. Vaishnavi, who made an impression during India's U19 World Cup triumph in early 2025, made her senior team debut in December during the home T20I series against Sri Lanka. The 20-year-old .
