England crush India by nine wickets in 4th T20I to clinch five-match series

Samson has clarity on his omission from India team, says head coach Gambhir

India head coach Gautam Gambhir asserted that Sanju Samson has been given complete clarity about his role after being dropped from the playing XI and did not rule out a comeback for the wicketkeeper-batter in the ongoing T20I series against England. Samson has also been omitted from the squad for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe. Gambhir maintained that the senior player remains in India's plans in the five-match series, which the visitors trail 0-2 after two losses and a washout. "The clarity that should have been given to Sanju Samson, he has got from me," Gambhir said after India's 125-run defeat in the third T20I here on Tuesday. "And that conversation is between a head coach and a player. The contents of that conversation are obviously not something I'll share with you. "...we are absolutely clear that what Sanju has done for India, especially during the World Cup, has been phenomenal. Sometimes, though, you also have to look at the form of a certain player. There is no hard and

IPL had easy wickets, now it's back to normal conditions, says Jofra Archer

England pace spearhead Jofra Archer believes bowling in English conditions is a return to "normal" after playing on "easy wickets and smaller boundaries" in India particularly during the IPL. Archer returned figures of 3/29 while fellow fast bowler Josh Tongue claimed 4/38 as India were skittled out for 76 in 11.4 overs while chasing 202 in the third T20I -- their biggest defeat in terms of runs in the shortest format. The defeat also left the revamped Indian side, led by Shreyas Iyer, still searching for their first T20I win after taking over from Suryakumar Yadav following the World Cup triumph in March. "I think it goes back to normal here," Archer said at the post-match conference when asked how much his plans change while bowling to Indian batters after facing many of them in the IPL. "You try to bowl the ball straight on a good length. Whereas over there, because the wickets are so easy and the boundaries are so small, you have to be really, really particular. Here, I feel yo

Gambhir backs India through UK struggles, says reset needs more time

India's T20 squad is in transition following a "reset", declared head coach Gautam Gambhir as he attributed the horrendous run in the ongoing tour of UK to an acute lack of game awareness and failure to read the conditions correctly. India slumped to their heaviest-ever T20I defeat in terms of runs, losing by 125 to England in the third T20I on Tuesday. The visitors are now 0-2 down in the five-match series. This comes after a maiden bilateral series defeat to Ireland last month. "We just haven't played well," Gambhir said at the post-match press conference here. "There are a lot of changes from the XI that played the T20 World Cup final to now. Be it the captain, be it the opening batsman. There is no Hardik Pandya, there is no Jasprit Bumrah," he later pointed out. "When you go for that reset, it takes a bit of time. If you see, a 15-year-old (Vaibhav Sooryavanshi) is opening, Prince Yadav is in his second T20I, Harshit Rana is coming back from an injury. We ultimately look only

Yash Thakur fulfils late father's dream with maiden India call-up vs ZIM

When Vidarbha pacer Yash Thakur steps into the Indian dressing room for his possible national debut during the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe, it wouldn't exactly be the story of a fresh-faced rookie. It would be a tale of perseverance built over nearly a decade of domestic grind, fuelled by a father's ambition who tragically did not live to see the dream finally coming true. The 27-year-old Thakur received perhaps the most important phone call of his professional life so far while waiting to collect his baggage at the Nagpur airport after returning from India A's tour of Sri Lanka recently. It was to inform of his maiden India selection for the tour of Zimbabwe tour that will feature three T20 Internationals from July 23 to 26. "Honestly, I wasn't expecting anything because I had only just come back from the Sri Lanka tour. I never thought I would get a call so soon," an emotional Thakur told PTI in an exclusive interview. His List A debut was back in 2017 and he is nearing 100 wicket

'You're just getting started': Suryakumar's message to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is at the start of what promises to be a "very exciting" journey in international cricket, feels World Cup winning captain Suryakumar Yadav who also backed the cricketing sensation to make India proud. The 15-year-old from Bihar became the youngest to play for India when he made his debut in the second T20 against England at Old Trafford, surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar who had made his debut as a 16-year-old. "I am very happy for the team. I wish them nothing but the very best, always. I know the boys are giving their all and they will always have my full support," Suryakumar wrote on social media. "A special word for Vaibhav- you are at the start of what promises to be a very exciting journey. Enjoy every moment and keep making the country proud," he added. Suryakumar was dropped from the Indian team after he led the side to a World Cup win at home earlier this year. Shreyas Iyer replaced him as the captain. A prolonged lean patch in international

No blame game as Shreyas Iyer backs Bishnoi to bounce back after ENG loss

Skipper Shreyas Iyer was understandably irate but refused to blame leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi for his 29-run over that turned the tide in his side's four-wicket defeat to England in the second T20I, here on Saturday. England needed 49 off 24 balls while chasing 191 with four wickets in hand when Bishnoi, bowled successive no balls that Jacob Bethell smashed for sixes off the ensuing free hits. "I know where it all went away but I don't want to pinpoint any particular player. After 15th (16th) over, momentum went away," Iyer, who is yet to win a single game as India skipper, said at the post-match presentation. When he was asked about Bishnoi's no-ball problems, he predictably defended the under-fire bowler. "I think one no ball, I think he'll come back stronger. Then the game got away in the 17th over... he'll have to learn. It was a phenomenal score, on this track, Tilak's phenomenal 24 not out in the final over. But we have to give credit where its due: watching Bethell, he definit

Nothing better than staying not out in a winning chase: Jacob Bethell

England batter Jacob Bethell rated his unbeaten 76 against India in the second T20I among the finest innings of his career, saying it was especially satisfying because it came in a winning cause. The 22-year-old has scored a century in each of the three formats. His only T20I hundred was in the semifinal of this year's T20 World Cup against India, a match England lost by seven runs. On Saturday, Bethell produced a composed yet explosive unbeaten 76 to guide England to a four-wicket victory while chasing 191, helping the hosts take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. "I'd actually put it up close to the top. There's nothing sweeter as a batter than walking off with a win, not out, walking in, shaking the boys' hands," Bethell said when asked where the innings ranked among his favourites for England. "I've scored a few hundreds, but only one of them was in a winning cause. We lost in Australia, we lost in India, so after those games you always think, 'What more could I have ...
