1st test Antigua advantage India - scores 302/4 with captain Virat Kohli on 143 not out

The first day of the 1st Test match in Antigua against West Indies was advantage India with India scoring 303/4 and Captain Virat Kohli remaining not out on 143. This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 21 July 2016.

Captain Kohli scored an unbeaten 143 off 197 balls on day one of the opening Test match of the four-match series at North Sound, Antigua - this helped India post a score of 302 for the loss of four wickets at stumps. Virat Kohli in the company of Shikhar Dhawan put on 105 runs for the third wicket. Kohli reached a personal milestone of 3000 Test runs in his 73rd innings, the eighth Indian batsman to achieve the feat. He reached his 13th Test fifty off just 75 balls.
Shikhar Dhawan also looked set for his fifth Test century, but an ill-advised sweep shot led to his dismissal on 84 in the last over before tea.
As to the bowling of West Indies - on a slow Antigua track, 28-year-old fast bowler Shannon Gabriel extracted enough pace and bounce to unsettle India's opening duo of Murali Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan. Murali Vijay (7) departed to a rising delivery from Gabriel. Other 3 wickets were taken by legspinner Devendra Bishoo (3/108).

Warner raced to his ninth fifty of the season in the ninth over in just 24 balls hitting three sixes and five fours and fell when his score was 69 off 38 balls (three sixes and eight boundaries). SRH finally posted 208 runs on the board for the loss of 7 wickets.

IPL9 - Sunrisers Hyderabad on a roll - beat Gujarat Lions by 10 wickets

Sunrisers Hyderabad are on a roll - they beat Gujarat Lions by 10 wickets and moved up the ladder of IPL points table - with this second successive win, they are now at the fourth position. This was possible by Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4/29) and Mustafizur Rahman (1/19) who bowled exceptionally well to restrict Gujarat Lions to just 135/8 Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot.
In reply, the SRH openers Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner shared an unbeaten 137 run stand to help their side notch up their second win on the trot.
This has been reported in cricbuzz.com dated 21 April 2016.

David Warner scored his 26th IPL fifty off 29 balls and his second successive too. He led from the front and played an unbeaten knock of 74 off 48 balls - it included nine fours. Shikhar Dhawan, his partner, scored a disciplined 40-ball half-century to guide his team. He hit five boundaries in his 41-ball 53 knock.
Earlier, sent in to bat first, skipper Suresh Raina hit a spirited knock of 75 off 51 balls that included nine boundaries and surprisingly not a single hit over the park. He along with Brendon McCullum added crucial 56 runs for the second wicket to build up the Lions innings before McCullum was dismissed by Bipul Sharma for 18 that came in 17 balls with the help of one four and a lone six. They raced to 50/1 after six overs of Powerplay.
But, their batsmen failed to counter the quality bowling attack of the Sunrisers - this is evident from the fact that they could score only 11 fours and one six in their innings and, only three batsmen managed to cross double-figure mark.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up three prize wickets in the form of Raina, Akshdeep Nath and Dale Steyn while Mustafizur bowled a superb 19th over, conceding only four runs.

India wins by One run against Bangladesh in Bangalore World T20

It was decidedly a WT20 match in which India got the better of Bangladesh who succumbed to pressure of expectations and literally gifted the game away to India. It was evident that India played below par with batsmen failing to score to finally end up with just 146 runs in its 20 0vers. And, Bangladesh frittered away their chances when they lost their nerves.
This has been reported in ibnlive.com dated 23 March 2016.

Some may say it was an exciting nail biting finish but it was a misery that Indians brought upon themselves - first by their poor batting and then by poor fielding. Dropped catches have become the order of the day and, when sitters are dropped, it adds to the tension of not just captain cool M S Dhoni but to millions of viewers who sit glued to the TV sets and wait for miracles to happen.
As it did when India managed to pick up three wickets in the last three deliveries.
Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah needed 11 runs off the final over, and Rahim hit Hardik Pandya for two back-to-back boundaries. That left just two to win off last three balls - and the Bangladeshis could not score that one run in the last three deliveries.shot on their own foot as they didn't manage to score even one run in the last three deliveries. First Rahim was caught in the deep by Shikhar Dhawan and in the very next delivery, Mahmudullah lobbed a full-toss straight at the deep mid-wicket to Ravindra Jadeja.
With this win, India have four points and are second in Group 2 points table.

India wins Asia T-20 because M S Dhoni struck exactly when required

India won the Asia T-20 final at Mirpur in Bangladesh because M S Dhoni came to the crease just when required. And, the opportunity came when Shikhar Dhawan lost his wicket. If he had not gone out and Dhoni did not enter the scene, the result could have been quite different because with the number of balls reducing and the asking rate climbing, it was necessary to go in for the big hits.
And, captain Dhoni did just that.
With the flurry of his bat, he scored an unbelievable 20 runs in just six deliveries - 2 sixers, one boundary, a single and a 3!! And, thus, it came to pass that India lifted the Asia Cup trophy without losing a single match in the tournament in a rain curtailed 15-over match.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 7 March 2016.

India won the toss and asked the hosts to bat first and they posted a total of 120 in the allotted 15 overs. With an initial asking rate of 8 runs per over, the Indians took the field and appeared to have lost momentum when in the 13th over, they lost the 2nd wicket. They had plenty of wickets on hand but the time was running out and the stadium was tense.
It was at such a time that captain Dhoni entered the scene once Shikhar Dhawan went out after scoring 60 runs. It was a do or die situation for the seasoned Dhoni and he just went ahead playing his strokes as if he had been at the crease from the beginning.
Dhoni has been criticized on a number of counts but it is a fact that he does not hesitate to take the bull by its horns and play the game the way he only can. Let us now wait for the T-20 World Cup and his performances.

#ManishPandey #RohitSharma #ShikharDhawan #msdhoni India managed to avoid a white-wash, thanks to the wonderful performance of Manish Pandey. Set to score 331 to win the 5th and final ODI of the current series at the Sydney Cricket Ground, India succeeded in wining it with two deliveries to spare, thanks to an unbeaten century by Manish Pandey. It was his fourth match and he scored 102 runs from just 81 balls.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 23 January 2016.

Unfortunately, Rohit Sharma missed out on his 3rd century of the series - he got out when on 99. Shikhar Dhawan contributed 78 runs and put up a century plus stand with Rohit for the opening partnership. But, captain M S Dhoni did not appear t be his usual self - he has lost the hard hitting powers.
Obviously, Manish Pandey has proved that he can play a stellar role and, since he came into the team due to injures to Ajinkya Rahane, it remains to be seen how Manish would be accommodated.

This has been reported in hindustantimes.com dated 24 June 2015.

Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (69 runs off 77 balls) and opener Shikhar Dhawan (75 off 73) played to their potentials.
Man of the Match was Suresh Raina who had put an all-round effort with both the bat and the ball – he scored 38 before ending with career-best figures of three for 45.

#IPL8 #SRHvsMI #MitchellMcClenaghan #indiakatyohar Electing to bat first after winning the toss, Sun Risers Hyderabad could manage to score only 113 runs and Mumbai Indians chased it down with 37 balls to spare for the loss of one wicket.

The destruction was by left-arm pacer Mitchell McClenaghan (3/16) who was ably assisted by left-arm spinner Jagadeesha Suchith (2/14) and Lasith Malinga (2/17).
With SRH out for 113, MI openers Parthiv Patel and Lendl Simmons did not have to bother. They played freely and Parthiv remained not out on 51 off 37 balls while Simmons missed his 50 by 2 runs – he made 48 off 44 balls.

IPL8 – Hyderabad beat Rajasthan to move up the points table

#IPL8 #RRvsSRH #ShikharDhawan #Brabourne Sun Risers Hyderabad kept their play-off hopes alive by pulling off a well-deserved seven-run victory over Rajasthan Royals – Hyderabad now have 10 points from 10 matches and four matches remain. The contest went to the wire at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai as reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 7 May 2015.

SRH won the toss and elected to bowl first and with Shikhar Dhawan (54) and Eoin Morgan (68 off 28 balls), they managed to put up a 200 plus score (201 for 4 in 20 overs) which put pressure on the RR batsmen from the word go.
For Rajasthan Royals, their in-form batsman Ajinkya Rahane (8) went out cheaply but there were others who wanted to pull off this match. The superb knock from Steve Smith (68) brought them back in contention. Subsequently, there was a late-order recovery from James Faulkner (30), Sanju Samson (21) and Chris Morris (34 not out). One got an impression that RR would retain their superiority but that did not happen and the hosts lost by 7 runs.
Incidentally, when RR won the toss and elected to bowl first, there was a feeling among exerts that it was not a correct decision – RR should have elected to bat first. And the fears were proved.

IPL8 – CSK suffers second consecutive loss, this time at the hands of SRH

#IPL8 #CSKvSRH #DavidWarner #orangecap CSK suffered the second consecutive loss, this time at the hands of SRH, due to the whirlwind innings of its captain David Warner who hammered the CSK bowlers to all corners of the stadium to score 61 runs off 28 balls (his 50 came in 20 balls). The final score of 197 was quite big enough but, the CSK is known for its batting power and, could have put up an equal fight but that did not happen.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 3 May 2015.

Dhoni won the toss and, unlike his normal logic, opted to bowl first. And, realized his mistake when David Warner (28-ball 61) and Shikhar Dhawan (37) put up am imposing total of 86-run in their opening stand in less than 9 overs to help SRH post 197 for seven in 20 overs.
Chennai kept losing its batsmen at regular intervals and, when Faf du Plessis (33) and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (20) came together to put upa 46-run fourth wicket partnership, there were hopes that CSK could still win.
But, the unfortunate run out of Faf du Plessis coupled with the way Dhoni went out spelled doom for the CSK.
However, in spite of the win, SRH continued to flounder at the bottom of the points table while CSK, in spite of its loss, remained in the No 1 position.
With his 5th half-century of the tournament, David Warner snatched the orange cap from Rajasthan Royals' Ajinkya Rahane.

#IPL8 #SRHvKKR #DavidWarner #ShikharDhawan The game at Vishakhapatnam between the home team Sun Risers Hyderabad and the visiting Kolkata Knight Riders went into the D/L method to redefine the target for KKR. This has been reported in sports.ndtv.com dated 23 April 2015.

KKR won the toss and sent in SRH to bat and Captain David Warner, ably assisted by Shikhar Dhawan, went about the task of plundering the runs at will – they put up a 100plus opening stand before Warren went out when he was at 91.
Shikhar Dhawan (54) soon followed his skipper back to the pavilion but, the remaining batsmen managed to put up a reasonably good score.
However, the rains intervened and due to loss of precious playing time, a revised target was set for the KKR by the D/L method. They had to score 118 runs within 12 overs. It should have been a fairly easy task but the batsmen faltered with Gautam Gambhir going out for only 4 runs and, finally, they folded up for 101runs.
