IND vs WI 2nd Test: India sniff series sweep; WI need 289 more runs to win

India gave themselves the best chance to win the second Test against the West Indies with an ultra-aggressive batting approach after lead pacer Mohammed Siraj produced career-best figures on another rain-hit day here. Siraj's five-wicket haul in the morning session allowed India to bowl out the West Indies for 255 in their first innings after the hosts started day four at 229 for five. Having gained a massive 183-run first innings lead, India went for an all-out attack in the second innings to smash 181 for two in 24 overs before declaring 35 minutes after the tea break to set the home team a 365-run target. India raced to 100 runs in 12.2 overs, the fastest team hundred in Test cricket history. At stumps on day four, West Indies were 76 for 2 in 32 overs with R Ashwin removing Kraigg Brathwaite (28) and Kirk McKenzie (0). The hosts need another 289 runs on the final day for an improbable win. Tagnarine Chanderpaul and Jermaine Blackwood were batting on 24 and 20 respectively at c

IND vs WI 2nd Test: We need to give opportunities to Ishan - Rohit Sharma

India skipper Rohit Sharma has high expectations from young wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan and indicated the 25-year-old limited-overs specialist will get more opportunities in Tests to harness his potential. Ishan made his Test debut against the West Indies in the first Test at Roseau, which India won by an innings and 141 runs, and Rohit said he was clearly impressed with Ishan's keeping for the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja when the ball was turning copiously and bouncing as well. India play their second Test against the Caribbean side from Thursday and will hope to make a clean-sweep in the two-match series. Ishan making a good first impression in Tests, that too in an overseas Test, bodes well for the young player, especially when Rishabh Pant is out of the India side due to a horrific car accident suffered late last year. On how he sees Ishan's first Test, especially when Rishabh is not a part of the India squad, Rohit said, "Ishan is a very talented guy.

Ishan Kishan is strong contender for Test spot in Pant's absence: Azhar

Former India skipper Mohammad Azharuddin believes Ishan Kishan would be a strong option as a wicket-keeper batter in the absence of Rishabh Pant for next month's four-match Test series against Australia. Ishan was handed a maiden call-up in India's Test squad for the Border-Gavaskar trophy beginning at Nagpur on February 9. Azhar, who is doing commentary in the International League T20 in UAE, said what happened to Pant is very unfortunate but Ishan's aggressive style of batting makes him a strong contender for the wicketkeeper-batter's slot. Pant was severely injured in a car accident in the last week of December while he was travelling from Delhi to Roorkee. He will be sidelined for most of the 2023 season as he recovers from multiple injuries. "Ishan Kishan has been selected in the Indian Test team on his recent form I think he will be a stronger contender for wicket-keeper batsman option. He is a left handed batsman," Azhar told PTI in an interview. However, it will not be eas

X factor drops, mediocrity retained: Prasad on India's selection calls

Former pacer Venkatesh Prasad has criticised the exclusion of Ishan Kishan from India's playing eleven for the first ODI against Sri Lanka, saying "there is no way you drop a player for scoring a double hundred". Ahead of the first ODI against Sri Lanka on Tuesday, India skipper Rohit Sharma made it clear that he will open alongside Shubman Gill and not Kishan, who scored a double hundred in his last innings in the 50-over format. "Think fair would have been to give chance to a man who scored a double hundred in India's last ODI, and in a series where India lost two games and the series. "Have all the time in the world for Gill, but no way you drop a player for scoring a double ton," Prasad said in a series of tweets. Prasad, who played 33 Tests and 161 ODIs for India, also feels that mediocrity is being preferred over "x-factor" in the current setup. "There is a reason we have underperformed in Limited overs cricket. Constant chopping changing and a guy who does brilliantly and i

ODI rankings: Kohli moves to eighth, Kishan jumps 117 places to 37

Star India batter Virat Kohli has moved up two rungs to the eighth position, while young opener Ishan Kishan rocketed 117 spots to 37th place in the latest ICC rankings released on Wednesday. Kohli has been rewared for scoring his first ODI hundred in more than three years in a match against Bangladesh recently, while Kishan made huge gains following his fastest ODI double-century in the same match. The former India captain had scored a 91-ball 113 in the third and final ODI against Bangladesh in Chattogram on Saturday. It was his first hundred in the 50-over format since August, 2019. Left-handed opener Kishan, on the other hand, had slammed a record-breaking 210 off 131 balls. Shreyas Iyer too advanced from 20th to 15th in the batting chart following his score of 82 in the second match of the series in Dhaka.

Ishan Kishan's coach recollects 200 balls of power-hitting, shadow batting

When the Indian team had descended in the national capital for a T20I against South Africa in June, Uttam Majumdar's phone rang and he was requested to visit Hotel ITC Maurya. At the other end of the call was his favourite ward, "apna baccha" (own kid), Ishan Kishan, asking him to come to the team hotel. "Ishan wanted me to come to hotel everyday, when he was not training, and work on his head position and body balance while facing the short ball from Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada," Majumdar, who runs his own academy in Greater Noida, told PTI while savouring his ward's fastest ODI double hundred against Bangladesh. "The hotel room became an extended net area. At least for four to five days before that game, he would play the shadow pull. It was more about conditioning his mind and he scored 76 opening the batting," said Majumdar as he kept one eye on the TV set at his academy and other on the net session of the future Ishan Kishans. The short ball practice story is significant .
