IND vs NZ, 1st Test: Kohli, Rohit eye consistent run in Bengaluru for India

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, the torchbearers of transition, will have to be India's driving force in their quest to lord over an unsettled New Zealand in a three-Test series, beginning here with the first match here on Wednesday. The baton has not been completely passed, but Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are certainly running their last lap and these two young superstars will have to show that they can carry forward the legacy of the titans. The signs, so far, are bright. Since a productive series against England earlier this year, Gill is now more familiar and comfortable with the rigours of Test cricket. His last 10 innings contain three hundreds and two fifties, while Jaiswal's last eight outings in Test cricket feature a 214 and five fifties. Those numbers are not to be scoffed at. But at the same time, it is important for them to build on the foundation through this series against the Kiwis, a precursor to the much tougher journey to Australia next month. Gill seemed to

IND vs NZ: New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra ready for 'home' Test in Bengaluru

Rachin Ravindra will carry along with him that soothing home ground' feeling when the New Zealand top-order batter steps on to the field here on Wednesday for the first Test against India. After all, his familial roots are firmly entrenched in Bengaluru. His parents Ravi Krishnamurthy and Deepa hail from the city, while his grandparents T. Balakrishna Adiga, a noted educationist, and Poornima still stay here, and a cosy family get together ahead of the match is on cards too. It's something different about playing a Test match. You're here for five days and it's a tradition, you know, Test cricket's the pinnacle. I guess it makes it extra significant because of the family connection, said Ravindra. Ravi, his father, has come down from Wellington to watch his son playing Test cricket in a city where he spent his formative years and played club cricket. There'll be a bunch of them in the crowd and I know Dad will be here watching. So those moments, you know, you pinch yourself on the

IND vs NZ: Jasprit Bumrah named India vice-captain for Test series

Premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah was on Friday named vice-captain of India for the upcoming three-match home Test series against New Zealand, strongly indicating his possible elevation to the leadership role when the team travels to Australia from next month. The three-match series against the Kiwis will start on November 16 in Bengaluru, followed by the second Test in Pune from October 24 and third game in Mumbai from November 1. As reported by PTI on October 10, regular captain Rohit Sharma could skip one of the first two Test matches in Australia owing to personal reasons. The five-match Test series in Australia starts on November 22 in Perth and the second match will be held at Adelaide from December 6, and there is a possibility that Rohit could give either the first or the second game a miss. Adding strength to that thought is the fact that India did not name a vice-captain for the recent home series against Bangladesh, which they won 2-0. Bumrah has prior experience of leading

Rohit Sharma's men will go into the series with their morale high after a 2-0 Test series win against Bangladesh at home while the Kiwis endured a 2-0 loss away from home against Sri Lanka recently.

IND vs NZ: Tom Latham wants New Zealand to play with freedom in India

New Zealand's new Test captain Tom Latham feels the only way to challenge an almost invincible India in their own backyard is by playing fearless cricket. Latham has taken over the captaincy from Tim Southee ahead of the three-match Test series in India beginning on October 16 in Bengaluru. "It's an exciting challenging going over to India and once we can go over there, hopefully play with a bit of freedom, bit of no fear and try and take it to them. If we do that hopefully, it gives ourselves a good chance," said Latham ahead of the team's departure to India on Friday. While India have won their last 18 series at home, New Zealand come to India on the back of four successive series defeats in the World Test Championship, most recently against Sri Lanka. New Zealand have won only two Tests in India with their last one coming back in 1988. "In India we've seen teams that have done well out there in the past have been quite aggressive towards them, especially with the bat they've loo

Every match from now on will be crucial in Women's T20 WC, says Jemimah

Middle-order batter Jemimah Rodrigues urged India to move on from the forgettable defeat against New Zealand and focus on the upcoming matches, which she termed as crucial for her side's survival in the Women's T20 World Cup. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side crashed to a heavy 58-run defeat against the Kiwis on Friday night, and the Women in Blue will now face cross-border rivals Pakistan on Sunday in the second Group A match. This would be the game we would like to forget, because this is a World Cup. We need to keep moving on and keep picking ourselves up. We can't stay stuck at this game. I think that will show the character of this team, Rodrigues said in the post-match press meet. Rodrigues exhorted the team not to get panicked but to focus on the process that earned it some good wins in the past. We have been doing really well as a team, sticking to the process and taking one game at a time. We know every game from here is so crucial for us. We're going to go one game at a time

Sophie Devine trusts umpire's decision on run-out incident against India

New Zealand captain Sophie Devine, who inspired them to a big win over India in their Women's T20 World Cup opener, feels the run-out controversy surrounding Amelia Kerr may have "stalled" India's game flow but she stressed the importance of respecting umpires' judgment. India found themselves in the midst of an umpiring controversy against the Kiwis here on Friday, a match they lost by 58 runs. "Yeah it was an interesting one probably broke a little bit of momentum (of India) and maybe stalled them a little bit. But I think that's part of cricket isn't it, people's interpretations are always going to be slightly different," Devine said at the post-match media interaction. The incident occurred in the 14th over of New Zealand's innings when Kerr was run out by Indian wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh while she attempted a second run along with Devine. Kerr had already begun walking off the field before being called back by the umpires Anna Harris and Jacqueline Williams who ruled the ball .

Tim Southee quits NZ captaincy ahead of India tour, Tom Latham to take over

Tim Southee has stepped down from New Zealand captaincy ahead of the three-Test series against India and Tom Latham has been appointed in the veteran pacer's place. Southee captained New Zealand in 14 Tests in which the Kiwis won six, lost six and drew two. I've always tried to put the team first throughout my career and I believe this decision is the best for the team, said Southee in a New Zealand Cricket statement. I believe the way I can best serve the team moving forward is focusing on my performances on the field and getting back to my best, to continue taking wickets and helping New Zealand win Test matches." The 35-year-old right-arm pacer has so far played 102 Tests alongside 161 ODIs and 126 T20Is. With 382 wickets, he is the second-highest wicket-taker for the Kiwis after legendary Richard Hadlee (431). I will, as I've always done, continue to support my teammates, especially the exciting young bowlers making their way on the international stage. I wish Tom all the bes

The ticket prices for 3rd Test between IND and NZ to remain same in Mumbai

The ticket prices will remain same as the previous rates for the upcoming third Test of the India versus New Zealand series to be played here from November 1-5, the Mumbai Cricket Association has said. India and New Zealand last played a Test here at the Wankhede Stadium in 2021, a contest which the hosts won by 372 runs after Kiwis' spinner Ajaz Patel created history by becoming only the third bowler in Tests to take all 10 wickets in an innings. The ticket prices were reportedly hiked by 25 per cent for the Test three years ago, taking the price to Rs 125 for a daily ticket against Rs 100 and Rs 375 for all five days against Rs 300, compared to the rates for the match held here back in 2016. The MCA in its Apex Council meeting has also decided to celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the country's most iconic cricket venues, Wankhede Stadium, on January 19 next year in its golden jubilee celebration. Among the other decisions taken in the meeting, all trainee players selected

World Cup 2023: Tendulkar lauds 'Virat' player fore reaching 50 ODI tons

Sachin Tendulkar penned a heartfelt congratulatory message to Virat Kohli, who made a 50th ODI hundred to break his record during the World Cup semifinal against New Zealand here on Wednesday. Tendulkar had owned the record for the highest number of ODI hundreds till this day with 49 centuries. Tendulkar recalled his first meeting with Kohli in a funny yet nostalgic tone, and how some of the then teammates made the young cricketer touch his feet. "The first time I met you in the Indian dressing room, you were pranked by other teammates into touching my feet. I couldn't stop laughing that day. "But soon you touched my heart with your passion and skill. I am so happy that the young boy has grown into a 'Virat' player," Tendulkar wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) account. The batting legend was quite chuffed by the fact that an Indian cricketer broke his mark. "I could not be happier that an Indian broke my record, And to do it on the biggest stage in the World Cup semi-final and
