IND vs ZIM: India need to rethink about team composition, says Ravi Shastri

Former India coach Ravi Shastri considers the defeat against South Africa in the Super 8s as a blessing in disguise and feels the "shakeup" was much needed for the defending champions to "reflect and reset" going into the business end of the T20 World Cup. India will be desperate to make a strong comeback against Zimbabwe here on Thursday after the heavy 76-run defeat at the hands of South Africa in their Super 8 opener in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The loss against the Proteas, incidentally, was India's first defeat after 12 successive victories across the last two editions of the T20 World Cup. "You win 12 matches on the trot, there's bound to be an off day. And I'm glad it has come early. It might just be the shakeup India needed," Shastri told on the latest episode of The ICC Review. "It might also make them rethink their strategy as to the composition of the side going ahead. "They would have learned from that last experience that they're not going to take things for granted beca

Rinku Singh returns home due to family emergency, doubtful for ZIM clash

Middle-order batter Rinku Singh on Tuesday returned home, owing to an emergency situation in the family, BCCI sources informed PTI. Rinku did not attend India's training session at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here, while rest of his colleagues were present at the nets. "Rinku Singh has flown back home from Chennai due to a family emergency. He did not join India's practice session at the Chepauk," the source close to the development said. As per sources, Rinku's father Khanchand Singh is reportedly admitted in a hospital in Greater Noida in serious condition and hence the player had to rush back. Rinku's sudden departure from the camp has raised doubts over the left-hander's availability for India's must-win Super Eights match against Zimbabwe here on Thursday. An underwhelming Rinku had made a duck in India's 76-run defeat against South Africa at Ahmedabad, while he made six in the group match against the Netherlands in New Delhi.

England in a very good place: Liam Dawson ahead of Pakistan clash

England all-rounder Liam Dawson on Monday said the team is "in a very good place" despite a mixed group-stage campaign in the T20 World Cup and expressed his delight at having a potent spin attack at their disposal. England made the Super 8s after a tense couple of weeks that saw a 30-run loss to the West Indies and narrow wins over Nepal and Scotland. However, they humbled tournament co-hosts Sri Lanka in their first Super 8s fixture and will face Pakistan here on Tuesday. "The fight we've shown with the ball (against Sri Lanka) shows that this team is in a very good place," Dawson told reporters ahead of the Pakistan game. After being restricted to 146/9, England bowled out Sri Lanka for 95 to emerge winners by 51 runs, with their spinners accounting for seven of the 10 wickets. Will Jacks, with his off-breaks, picked up 3/22 in four overs, while there were two wickets apiece for Adil Rashid and Dawson. "We're all very different types of spinners.

Got to take him down: Miller talks about Proteas plan that nullified Varun

All it needed was a still mind, limited movement and strong intent, said South African big-hitter David Miller as he opened up about how his team successfully nullified Indian mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy in their T20 World Cup Super Eight clash here. South Africa defeated the defending champions by 76 runs here on Sunday after posting a formidable 187/7. The in-form Chakravarthy was expected to be India's trump card but on a wicket that didn't offer much assistance, he went for 47 runs in his four overs with both Miller (63 off 35 balls) and Dewald Brevis (45 off 29 balls) taking him to cleaners. "I think it's just about really making sure that we were on it in terms of if he bowls a bad ball we got to put it away - so a little bit more intent and it wasn't spinning too much tonight, so you can kind of trust the line," Miller told reporters after the match. "And once we felt that, then we felt, OK, we've got to take him down, because he is a threat to every team that he does
