IND vs ENG 1st Test: For Pope, reverse sweep as good as defensive shot

Ollie Pope, whose sensational 196 formed the core of England's 28-run win over India in the first Test here, said on Sunday that he practiced those sweeps and reverse sweeps extensively before arriving on these shores. England were nestled at Abu Dhabi before coming to India as they mainly trained behind the doors immersing themselves in training to tame sub-continental conditions. "They're very skilled bowlers. If you try and defend each ball, there's probably more of a chance to get out, rather than play with cross-bat shots. We've practised those shots enough before coming here. I think you have to just commit to it. "It could be as safe as defence, playing a reverse sweep or a sweep. Then it is also going to lead to more half-volleys too from the bowlers," Pope, who was later adjudged player of the match, said during his post-match press meet. The Essex cricketer said their base camp at Abu Dhabi created a lot of confidence among the group. "We put in all that work in Abu Dhab

Kohli never been to NCA for fitness issues: Rohit lauds Virat's work ethic

Virat Kohli has hardly ever set foot at the Bengaluru-based National Cricket Academy for any fitness-related rehabilitation work, said Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who wants aspiring cricketers to follow the ace batter's exemplary work-ethic. "Virat Kohli has never been to NCA in his entire career. I would say that all the younger players should look up to the passion that he has," Rohit told former India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik on JioCinema. "Leave alone how he plays the cover drive, flick, cut but first things first you have to understand what is the quality of the players that makes him where he is today." Kohli has opted out of the first two Tests of the ongoing five-match series against England for "personal reasons". "I have watched Kohli enough. He can easily be satisfied with what he has achieved. He can say that I will take it easy in these 2-3 series, I will come later, but he is always there for the team," said Rohit. Staying hungry ============ The Indian skipper

IND vs ENG 1st Test: 231 was gettable, we didn't bat well enough - Rohit

India skipper Rohit Sharma lamented his top batmen's failure in the opening Test of the five-match series against England here on Sunday, saying they lacked the fight and character showed by the team's lower-order batters after being set a "gettable" 231-run target. India were all out for 202 to lose the match by 28 runs, completing a remarkable turnaround a day after conceding a huge first-innings lead of 190 runs. Ollie laid the foundation for a famous English win with a monumental knock of 196 before debutant left-arm spinner Tom Hartley finished with excellent figures of 7/62 in the second innings. "Hard to pinpoint where it went wrong. With a lead of 190 we were in control but exceptional batting - probably one of the best I've seen in Indian conditions by an overseas player, well played Ollie Pope," Rohit said at the post-match presentation ceremony. "I thought 230 was gettable but it wasn't to be. Thought we bowled in the right areas, we analysed what went well and what didn

IND vs ENG Tests 2024: Anil Kumble predicts India to win series 4-1

The legendary Anil Kumble has termed England's bowling attack for the opening Test against India, starting in Hyderabad on Thursday as "highly inexperienced", while predicting a comfortable 4-1 win for the hosts in the five-match series. England announced a three-pronged spin attack on the eve of the Hyderabad Test with uncapped spinner Tom Hartley and one-Test old Rehan Ahmed teaming up with Jack Leach, with Mark Wood being the lone fast bowler. With Ben Stokes ruling himself out from sharing bowling workload throughout the five-Test series, England skipper may face some troubles finding the right mix but Kumble said it will be interesting to see how the visitors approach the rubber. "It will all depend on how Jack Leach leads the spin attack. Three spinners, of course the English management obviously have had a look at the pitch and they believe that it's going to take turn," Kumble replied to a PTI query during an interaction organised by Jio Cinema. "In that sense, just with on

England frustration ends as rookie spinner Bashir gets visa for India

England's Pakistan-origin off-spinner Shoaib Bashir was on Wednesday granted visa to play in the five-match Test series against India, ending a "frustrating" wait for the visiting side whose captain Ben Stokes felt "devastated" by the delay. "Shoaib Bashir has now received his visa, and is due to travel to join up with the team in India this weekend. We're glad the situation has now been resolved," the England and Wales Cricket Board posted on its X (formerly Twitter) page on the eve of the first Test here. The 20-year-old rookie, who plays for Somerset in the English county, was forced to head back to England from the team's Abu Dhabi training base after a prolonged wait for visa. His family is of Pakistani heritage but Bashir was born in Surrey. The delay snowballed into a major controversy with a British government spokesperson demanding "fair" treatment for the youngster and Stokes hardly mincing words in expressing his outrage.

IND-ENG Playing 11: Axar or Kuldeep? Rohit's big headache ahead of 1st Test

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma on Wednesday admitted that the team management had a tough time making the third spinner choice between Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav for the opening Test against England but hinted that the former might just have made the final cut. Behind Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, India are primed to pick a third spinner for the first Test against England, starting here from Thursday. "If the wicket has bounce or if it doesn't have bounce, he (Kuldeep) still is a factor in those types of conditions because he's got superb variations. Obviously, he is a very mature bowler now from what he was a few years back," Rohit said in the pre-match press conference. "He's not played a lot of Test cricket in India because of Ashwin and Jadeja. We've seen it in the past as well. With our middle-order (batting), in the past, a lot of us (batters) got an opportunity pretty late. "But that's the reality of it, you can't hide away from it. But yes, he's a very tempting ..

IND vs ENG: Captain Rohit shrugs off favourites tags ahead of 1st Test

India might be an indomitable force at home, but captain Rohit Sharma on Wednesday said he wouldn't want to label themselves as "unbeatable" and they need to play consistent cricket to trump England in the five-match series. The first Test between India and England will start here from Thursday, and Rohit said his primary focus is the strategies of his side. India have remained unbeaten at home for past 12 years and the last team to beat the hosts in their own backyard was England under Alastair Cook, back in 2012. "I don't think we are unbeatable. We don't want to think like that. But whatever past records that we have over the last decade or so, do not guarantee that we will come out on top in this series. We have to play well to win this series," said Rohit during his pre-match press meet here on Wednesday. Rohit also said the win over South Africa in the second Test at Cape Town has given the side a lot of confidence ahead of the series against England. "The Cape Town win was
