Mohd Siraj's commitment of putting team first sets him apart: Williamson

Mohammed Siraj's commitment to a team-first approach sets him apart from the others and the pacer has demonstrated strong leadership qualities, said former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson on Tuesday. Siraj has been at the forefront of the pace attack even as Jasprit Bumrah's workload management remains a key point of discussion. Siraj, who took a brilliant four-wicket haul in the first innings of the Ahmedabad Test to set up India's win by an innings and 140 runs against West Indies, also played a key role in their 2-2 draw in he Test series in England earlier this year. "I got to know him early in his career before he represented India, observing his talent as a young cricketer for Sunrisers in the IPL," Williamson told the media during the CEAT Cricket Awards here. "What sets him apart is his relentless commitment to putting the team first and his desire to take the ball, even when the game might not be moving. He always wants to be the player who changes the game by bowling

Rohit Sharma credits Dravid's processes for India's Champions Trophy win

Rohit Sharma on Tuesday said India won the Champions Trophy earlier this year following processes established during Rahul Dravid's tenure, crediting the team for buying into the ideology set by the former captain-coach pair. With Rohit and Dravid at the helm, India bounced back from their heartbreak of losing in the final of 2023 ODI World Cup at home to Australia by winning the next two ICC events -- the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy. "Look, I love that team, loved playing with them and it's a journey that we were all into, for many years. It's not about one year or two years of work. It was about getting into work from many years," Rohit said during the CEAT Cricket Rating awards here. "We'd come so close of winning that trophy many times but we couldn't just get over the line. That is where everyone decided that we need to do something different and there's two (ways) to look at it." "There's always a thought of doing that and then actually going and doing th

Prabhsimran's hundred headlines India A 2-1 series win against Australia A

Opener Prabhsimran Singh smashed a scintillating 68-ball 102 before skipper Shreyas Iyer and Riyan Parag struck fluent half-centuries to guide India A to a two-wicket win over Australia A in the third and final unofficial ODI here on Sunday. India won the series 2-1. Opting to bat, Australia A recovered from an early wobble to post a competitive 316 in 49.1 overs, thanks to skipper Jack Edwards' 89 off 75 balls and an aggressive 73 from Liam Scott. In reply, India A appeared to be cruising at 262 for three in the 35th over before a sudden collapse saw them slip to 301 for eight, losing five wickets in 57 balls. But Vipraj Nigam (24 not out off 32 balls; 2x4, 1x6) and Arshdeep Singh (7 not out) held their nerves to complete the chase with 24 balls to spare.
