Gautam Gambhir wants to see KL Rahul in all three ODIs against England

Former India opener Gautam Gambhir has recently suggested that KL Rahul should play in all the three ODIs against England as he believes a batsman can’t get his form back by sitting on the bench.

His comments came after Rahul, who played the first four T20Is of the recently-concluded five-match series against England, could manage the scores of 1, 0, 0 and 14 before getting dropped for the last game. And, the India captain Virat Kohli opened the batting for India alongside Rohit Sharma. However, Gambhir feels that dropping Rahul will not do any good for him.

“Dropping anyone will not do them any favour. He (Rahul) will have to play three ODIs. Someone is out of form; the only way you can bring them back is by giving those more opportunities. Because when you are sitting on the bench, it is not a good feeling. Because you know you have been dropped, and that feeling is not the best feeling,” Gambhir said in an interview with ESPNCricinfo.

However, he also highlighted the positive things too where he pointed out that dropping Rahul allowed the team to play with six bowlers in the final T20I, which Team India won 3-2 to clinch the series as well.

India uses as many as four changes in the opening pair and in Rahul’s absence, Kohli opened the innings with Rohit Sharma which finally paid off as the duo laid the winning foundation for the host.

The hosts put up 224/2 from their allotted 20 overs with Virat Kohli remaining not out on 80 off 59 balls whereas Rohit Sharma scoring 64 off 34 balls as well. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya gave the late boost, registering scores of 32 off 17 and 39 off 17 respectively. And, they eventually won as well.

Indian Cricket Team is currently playing the three-match One Day International series against England in Pune.

IPL 2021: CSK full squad details

Image
  Chennai Super Kings had a lot to do in the auction for IPL 2021 . They had a forgettable tournament last year. For the first time in the history of Indian Premier League, MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings ended the tournament at the 7th position. In the IPL auction, therefore, they had to buy some key players for a strong comeback. It was interesting to see Chennai Super Kings going for Cheteshwar Pujara. Not a lot would have thought of Pujara making it to an IPL side. While they went for some base price buys, they stacked up two players for a total of 16.25 crore. The challenge for Chennai Super Kings was to get some effective and young players on board to strengthen the core balance. K Gowtham and Moeen Ali can serve them as the all-rounders. However, they were in need of a back-up opener. Chennai Super Kings Retained Players: MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, KM Asif, Deepak Chahar, Dwayne Bravo, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, N Jagadeesan, Karn Sharma, Lungi Ngidi, M...

Amit Mishra shares his thoughts on spin bowling

Image
  India has produced a good number of quality spinners throughout the year but there are very few wrist spinners available and Amit Mishra is one of them. He feels that wrist spin is a difficult craft that can only be mastered with hours of honing the skill sets and also a leader who backs the player in difficult moments of the game. “Any leg-spinner needs a good captain because when the bowler is under attack, you need that sort of a skipper, who would back you to the hilt and give you that requisite confidence even when you have gone for a few runs,” Mishra told PTI in an exclusive interview. “A captain who basically understands the psyche of a leg-spinner.” Amit Mishra, who will be seen in action for Delhi Capitals this IPL season in India, has played 68 games across formats for India and one of the successful bowlers in IPL too. Meanwhile, in India barring Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav and Rahul Chahar, there aren’t many quality leg-break bowlers available too as well. ...

  Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli is excited to have Glenn Maxwell in his squad in the 2021 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they have started their hunt for the much-awaited IPL title against Chennai Super Kings on April 9. RCB gave a whopping Rs 14.25 crore for Maxwell, who was released by Punjab Kings earlier the mini-auction in Chennai in February this year. The Australian big-hitting all-rounder has a very poor record in the IPL but he was still in demand at the mini-auction in February. However, even before the auction, Maxwell had shared his desire to play for RCB under Kohli as well, and he was also keen on having Maxwell in his squad. "We wanted Maxi, specifically targeted him at the auction in February. You obviously feel great when things end up happening to where you thought they would. Zamps sent me that picture of them (Zampa and Maxwell) at a practice session handing over the RCB cap even before the auction happened. Zamps a very fun...
