Sanju Samson has got talent, has skillset to succeed, said Rohit Sharma

Posted on by cbtfhome

India and Sri Lanka will play the first T20I of the three-match series on Thursday. The victory over West Indies catapulted India to the top of the ICC rankings in T20Is, however Rohit Sharma know that these bilateral series wins will eventually count for nothing if India falter in the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia this year.

Meanwhile, in the press conference ahead of the T20I series against Sri Lanka on Wednesday, Rohit Sharma was asked about Sanju Samson.  Notably, the BCCI recently announced the squad for the series against Sri Lanka. Sanju Samson who last played during an away series against Sri Lanka in July 2021, has also been added.

“As a team management, we see lot of potential, we see lot of talent and we see lot of match-winning abilities in that individual. I hope we give Sanju Samson that confidence when he gets playing for us, and whenever he gets an opportunity I hope he understands that and definitely he is under consideration, which is why he is part of this team “.Captain Rohit Sharma said in the press conference .

“His back-foot play is superb, some of the shots you must have seen during the IPL, the pick-up pull, the cut shots, standing and delivering over bowler’s head. Those kinds of shots are not easy to play and I believe when we go to Australia, you need those kind of shot-making ability and Samson does has it in him. I just hope that he utilises his potential to the maximum.” Rohit added.

The fact that Samson has been given another chance despite India having two quality wicketkeeper-batters in Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul just shows how much the Indian team management trusts in the abilities of Samson. ” You know that guy has got talent. Whenever we have seen him bat in IPL and all of that, he has just produced an innings where everyone goes over the moon watching that inning,”.

“He has got the skill-set to succeed. Now that is the whole point about this sport, a lot of people have skill-set, have talent, but it is how you utilise them is the most critical part and I think, it is up to Sanju to understand how he want to utilise the talent and how he can maximise it,” Rohit said.

“Jasprit Bumrah can walk into any cricket team in the world”, said Sunil Gavaskar

Sunil Gavaskar praised Jasprit Bumrah and said that the player was someone who could just walk into any team in the world. Bumrah was not in action for the West Indies series, but he will return for the Sri Lanka series. The Indian vice-captain will be joined by Siraj, Chahar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Avesh Khan to lead India’s bowling attack.

Sunil Gavaskar said that India have bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah who can walk into any team. “There is Bumrah. Don’t forget him. He will walk into any team in the world, not just the India team, any team. Then you have Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami…spoiled for choices,” he said.

Sunil Gavaskar further said that Indian pacer Deepak Chahar is a terrific swing bowler and can swing the ball both ways and trouble the batters. “He is a terrific swing bowler. He has that extra pace as well. He isn’t express but he gets the ball to move at a decent pace which makes it difficult for a batsman. And he has got both the in-swinger and the out-swinger without a noticeable change in action. So when you have someone like him and have Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the bench after two fine performances in the series, India are blessed as far as riches in bowling are concerned,” said Gavaskar in a chat on Star Sports.

Team India have recently whitewashed West Indies in three matches ODI and as many games T20I series. The Rohit Sharma-led side registered a thumping win against the carrabbeans. India will next face Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series, which will be played from 24th March to 27th March in Lucknow and Dharamsala.

Wasim Jaffer Gives a Hilarious Reply To a Fan, who is On Anhydrous Fasting

Posted on by cbtfhome

The former opener Wasim Jaffer now enjoys a cult following on social media as he keeps the world updated with his hilarious tweets on cricket. He has emerged as a popular cricket celebrity who shares a number of cheeky and funny tweets.

Jaffer, who is known for his active social media presence had to come across a unique way of responding to a fan in the form of a meme. A fan took to Twitter and mentioned that he is on anhydrous fasting until Wasim Jaffer replies. He wrote, “Day 21 – not drinking water untill Wasim Jaffer replies”.

Meanwhile, replying to the fan, Wasim Jaffer shared a meme in which the veteran actor, Shivaji Satam is offering some water to a lady.

Earlier, Wasim Jaffer said that the Kolkata Knight Riders’ all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer is ahead of Hardik Pandya for the T20 World Cup consideration at this moment. After this series, I feel Iyer is a little bit ahead because you don’t know Hardik Pandya whether he’s bowling now or how fit he is. Obviously how the IPL goes for Hardik Panya will play a very key role but at this point of time, Venkatesh Iyer is ahead of Hardik Pandya,” Jaffer said on ESPNcricinfo.

“I am surprised with how good he’s playing as a No. 6 batter. We have seen him as an opener but for him to come out and get adapted so well at No. 6 and finish games is outstanding. Plus, the way he’s bowled as well, got a couple of important wickets. He definitely gives [India] an edge going into the World Cup,” Jaffer said.

Posted on by cbtfhome

Indian fast bowler Deepak Chahar suffered a pull to his right hamstring while bowling in the third and final T20I match against the West Indies on February 20. And he was rendered doubtful for the Sri Lanka series, starting Thursday. 

Notably the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League is all set to start on March 26 and Deepak Chahar could also be a doubtful starter for the IPL where Chennai Super Kings forked out a massive Rs 14 crore at the auction to retain his services. He was set to be their primary pacer in the upcoming season. If it is a grade one tear Chahar will be unavailable for a few matches of IPL 2022 at the beginning. It will be a big blow for the defending champions.

The the third and final match of the T20 series against West Indies on 20th February. Deepak Chahar looked somewhat upset on the last ball of the third over. He was coming to bowl, but he suddenly stopped and bent down. And he was seen in some injury. He didn’t even complete the over. Venkatesh Iyer was called to bowl the last ball of the over.

However, still no update has been given by the BCCI or the Indian Cricket Management regarding Deepak’s injury. While Deepak Chahar will have to go straight to Bangalore-based national Cricket Academy for recovery and rehabilitation. In such a situation, his exclusion from the T20 series against Sri Lanka is considered doubtful.

Posted on by cbtfhome

The ongoing Pakistan Super League always has been in the news for off the field controversial incidents along with some brilliant on-field action as well. During the Pakistan Super League match between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi, Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf slapped his teammate Kamran Ghulam.

The incident happened in the second over of the game when a short ball from Haris Rauf took the top edge off the bat of Peshawar batsman Mohammed Haris . Haris Rauf dismissed Mohammad Haris when Fawad Ahmed took a catch on the fine leg boundary. Meanwhile, Lahore Qalandars bowler Haris Rauf loses his cool as he slapped his team-mate Kamran Ghulam while celebrating his wicket.

Earlier, Ghulam had dropped Peshawar Zalmi’s Hazratullah Zazai catch when he attempted to work Haris Rauf’s full delivery away on the leg side and Rauf looked frustrated with the fielder. While, on the penultimate delivery of the very same over, Fawad Ahmed took a fine catch to send back Mohammad Haris back cheaply. However, Ghulam was seen smiling after getting hit but Rauf’s expressions were not the same.

Ghulam bounced back in the game as he executed a stunning run-out in the 17th over when he got the better of opposition skipper Wahab Riaz. Meanwhile, Qalandars have made their best ever finish in a PSL group stage and now have the cushion of an extra game in the playoffs. Qalandars kick-off the playoffs with a mouth-watering Qualifiers clash with the Sultans on Wednesday.

Posted on by cbtfhome

India wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha on Saturday night shared a screenshot of threatening messages he received from a journalist. In the screenshot of the chat shared by Saha, the journalist can be seen threatening the Indian cricketer.

This incident was happened after Saha was dropped from the Indian team for the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka.  On Saturday night Saha shared the screenshot of the messages he received from the journalist. “After all of my contributions to Indian cricket..this is what I face from a so called “Respected” journalist! This is where the journalism has gone,” Saha tweeted. Wriddhiman Saha has received support from many players after he shared the screenshot.

Virender Sehwag was among the first to come out in support of Saha, Sehwag said, “Extremely sad. Such sense of entitlement, neither is he respected nor a journalist, just chamchagiri. With you Wriddhi.”

Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri also has reacted to the contrtweeted. “Shocking a player being threatened by a journo. Blatant position abuse. Something that’s happening too frequently with #TeamIndia. Time for the BCCI PREZ to dive in. Find out who the person is in the interest of every cricketer. This is serious coming from ultimate team man WS,” Shastri tweeted.

Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh and ex-pacer RP Singh have also lashed out at the journalist after Saha shared the ‘threat’ messages. Harbhajan has urged the BCCI to protect Indian players in the aftermath of the controversy. 

The Board of Control for Cricket in India is calling for a “thorough investigation” on the matter to find out the culprit. “Saha is a contracted cricketer of the BCCI. The onus is on the Board to not let its own player down. That aside, if there is any kind of a nexus at work here, one has to look into it,” say officials tracking these developments. BCCI is also keen to know if any other cricketer has gone through such a crisis.
