  • T20 World Cup 2024: Nicholas Pooran’s Thunderous Blow Rattles Mark Wood, Video Goes Viral – Watch | Cricket News

    The 2024 T20 World Cup has already witnessed some monumental performances, but Nicholas Pooran’s blistering onslaught against defending champions England on Thursday night will undoubtedly go down as one of the tournament’s most electrifying moments. In a clash that had fans on the edge of their seats, the West Indies’ flamboyant left-hander etched his name into cricketing folklore with a humongous six that left the English bowlers shellshocked.

    Fireworks at the Perth Stadium

    After a steady start from openers Brandon King and Johnson Charles, the West Indies innings kicked into overdrive when Pooran strode to the crease. The talented Trinidadian didn’t take long to find his rhythm, caressing a couple of delightful boundaries to get his eye in. However, it was his colossal 95-meter maximum off the bowling of Mark Wood that truly set the Perth Stadium alight.

    Wood, renowned for his searing pace, attempted to cramp Pooran for room with a well-directed length delivery. But the left-hander’s incredible hand-eye coordination and brute power came to the fore as he nonchalantly flicked his wrists to dispatch the Englishman’s thunderbolt over the deepest part of the midwicket boundary. The cricket ball seemed to hang in the air for an eternity before eventually crash-landing into the ecstatic West Indian fan club behind the ropes, sparking pandemonium in the stands.

    England’s Ashes Revival Hopes Dent

    While Pooran’s stroke of genius was the undeniable highlight, the bigger picture indicates that this result could have far-reaching implications for England’s hopes of retaining their T20 crown. The defending champions came into this marquee event riding the crest of a wave after their remarkable Ashes triumph over Australia. However, this damaging loss to the free-scoring West Indies has severely dented their prospects of progressing from a tricky group that also includes the likes of India and South Africa.

    For the Caribbeans, Pooran’s pyrotechnics were merely a continuation of the form that saw him dismantle Afghanistan in their previous outing. After Brandon King’s unfortunate departure due to a groin injury, the stage was set for the elegant southpaw to take center stage. And take center stage he did – in the most emphatic fashion imaginable.

  • IND vs AFG: This stormy batsman will be the X factor against Afghanistan, Virat will play at number three, how will the playing 11 be?

    IND vs AFG: Team India won three matches in the group stage and one match was cancelled due to rain. Now in the Super 8, Rohit’s army has to play its first match against Afghanistan. In this match, a dangerous player can enter the playing 11 of Team India.

    In the T20 World Cup 2024, Team India has to play its first Super 8 match on 20 June. This match is to be held against Afghanistan team in Barbados. Changes in Team India’s playing 11 are considered possible in this match. Virat Kohli has been a flop in opening, so it is believed that he will now be seen batting at favorite number three, while Rohit Sharma’s opening partner may change. A lot of runs are scored in Barbados, so young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal may enter the playing 11.

    Yashasvi Jaiswal has full chance of getting a chance in the playing 11 in the first match of Super 8, because Virat Kohli has flopped in all three matches as an opener. With Yashasvi’s arrival, Team India will also get a left and right combination. The Indian opening pair has disappointed in this World Cup. In such a situation, it is believed that the captain can give a chance to Yashasvi.

    How can Yashasvi Jaiswal prove to be the X-factor?

    Yashasvi Jaiswal is a left-handed batsman who tries to hit fours and sixes from the first ball. He can change the course of the game by adopting an aggressive style in the first 6 overs. Not only this, he can spoil the line length of that Afghan bowler who has troubled the right-handed batsmen a lot this season. The name of this bowler is Fazalhaq Farooqi, who has taken the most 12 wickets in 4 matches so far.

    Yashasvi Jaiswal will counter Fazalhaq Farooqui

    If Yashasvi opens for Team India, he will be a counter to Fazalhaq Farooqi, because till now Fazalhaq has bowled brilliantly, whereas Virat gets trapped against left-handed batsmen. He has been trapped in the net of America’s left-arm fast bowler Sourav Netravalkar. In such a situation, it is important to have Yashasvi in ​​front of a left-arm bowler, who can spoil the line length of Fazalhaq. There is full hope that Team India will get the benefit of this.

    T20 career of Yashasvi Jaiswal

    Yashasvi Jaiswal is the discovery of IPL. This player has played amazing cricket in the last 2 years. Jaiswal has been scoring runs continuously. Talking about his statistics in T20, so far he has scored 1607 runs in 52 matches at an average of 32.14. 2 centuries and 9 fifties have also come from his bat. The special thing is that Jaiswal has scored these runs at a strike rate of 150.61, which is considered very good in T20.

    Probable playing 11 of team India

    Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh.

  • WATCH: Chinnaswamy Goes Crazy As Smriti Mandhana Grabs Her Maiden International Wicket During IND-W vs SA-W 2nd ODI | Cricket News

    Smriti Mandhana seems to be in a golden phase where everything she touches turns to success. The Indian vice-captain recently decided to try her hand at bowling at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, a familiar ground where she often plays for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Women’s Premier League (WPL).

    Mandhana’s remarkable contributions this year have been pivotal in helping RCB secure the WPL title, a significant feat for a team that had previously struggled to meet the high expectations set by their IPL counterparts. Continuing her stellar form, Mandhana hit two consecutive centuries against South Africa at this very stadium, and on Wednesday, she achieved another milestone by taking her maiden international wicket.

    Harmanpreet Kaur, who had earlier scored a magnificent century herself, decided to let Mandhana bowl just before the 15th over of South Africa’s innings. Mandhana immediately justified the decision, taking the wicket of Sune Luus who was caught behind by Richa Ghosh after scoring 12 runs off 13 balls.

    Lockie Ferguson World Records: Lockie Ferguson…this name is most discussed in the cricket world right now. Why not…this bowler has done something amazing. This bowler, famous all over the world for his speed, bowled 4 overs against Papua New Guinea in the T20 World Cup 2024, in which he did not give a single run and took 3 wickets. This is the best 4-over bowling spell by any bowler in the history of the World Cup. This is the same Lockie, who was beaten badly in IPL 2024 just a month ago. He was among those flop players of RCB who disappointed this season, but as soon as he came to the World Cup, Ferguson wreaked havoc with his lethal bowling.
