The Australian skipper Aaron Finch on Tuesday in conversation with cricket.com.au opened up about opener David Warner’s replacements in the limited over series. Mathew Wade, Marnus Labuschagne, and Alex Carey are probable players who can come up and bat at Warner’s position for the team in remaining white-ball fixtures.

Australian opener David Warner who scored two back-to-back half-centuries in the first two-game got injured while fielding in the second ODI on Sunday. He quickly went for the scan and found out groin injury. Cricket Australia has already ruled out the opener batsman from the remaining white-ball fixtures against India. However, Cricket Australia prioritize the test side and wants Warner to be ready before the test series against India.

Aaron Finch on Warner’s replacement:

We haven’t selected our team yet, but we have got a few options on our side. We have some options, Wadey in the side can be up for the side or Marnus comes up and opens the inning, Alex Carey has done a lot of it in the past,” cricket.com.au quoted Finch as saying.

But our middle order has been playing really well over the last little while. That is what reflected in the scoreboard of being two-nil up in the series. You can look to experiment if you want to do that or you can play safe,” he added.

Finch praised Warner for his batting over the white ball format and reckons him as one of the best in the business of all time.

He is an all-time great in one-day and T20 cricket. I do not think there are many better players to have played the game,” said Finch.

Any side he is not part of is definitely going to be slightly weaker without his presence but we have few options available and we will look forward to use them.”

The home side has already won the series with 2-0 lead in the second game itslef while they will be exciented to clean sweep the visitors.

IPL 2021: 5 Players Kolkata Knight Riders KKR might release ahead of IPL 2021

IPL 2021: 5 Players Kolkata Knight Riders KKR might release ahead of IPL 2021. Here is the list of probable players KKR management look to release. IPL 2021: 5 Players Kolkata Knight Riders KKR might release ahead of IPL 2021.

IPL 2020 has been a mixed season for two-time title winners. Kolkata Knight Riders went through all ups and downs during the season. Looking like one of the significant sides to reach the playoffs but later on, slipped from the position. Midway change of the captaincy looked a bit unusual for the franchise as Dinesh Karthik stepped down.

The Shahrukh Khan franchise could not found the way to select the perfect eleven throughout the seasons even after a lot of chopping and shuffling. For the upcoming season of the Indian T20 League just 4 months away, KKR will be hoping to purchase some of the match winners for the side, in the meantime releasing some of the existing players.

Here we brought to you the 5 players whom KKR might look to release ahead of IPL 2021.

5 Players Kolkata Knight Riders KKR might release ahead of IPL 2021:

Chris Green:

The young addition to the team for IPL 2020, Chris Green is one of those names who won several white ball franchise captaincy through his calm and responsible style game. However, the Australian spinner could not make a valuable impact though he was given just a solitary chance against the defending champions. 

Green in his only appearance in IPL 2020 conceded 24 runs. To break into the final eleven for the upcoming IPL is also going to be tough for the Australian against the likes of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy.

Dinesh Karthik:

Dinesh Karthik KKR

Not an ideal season to experience for the former KKR skipper. He became the captain of KKR after the exit of Gautam Gambhir. Filling the shoes of two times title winner was not going to be easy but he did exceptionally good work in the first season. The next two seasons were not according to the standards of KKR. 

Citing “to focus in his batting,” Karthik stepped down from his captaincy, the official reason is yet to be revealed. Dinesh Karthik had a horrible thirteenth edition of IPL with the bat scoring just 169 in 14 outings.

Siddesh Lad:

The Mumbai based batsman was traded in from Mumbai Indians before the IPL 2020. However, in the franchise packed with powerful batsmen, Lad could not break into the final eleven in any of the games. KKR went with the likes of Nitish Rana and Rahul Tripathi for the opening slot ahead of Siddesh Lad.

Lad before with Mumbai Indians had an only single outing where he scored 15 runs. In the upcoming season to it will unfortunate for the opener to get into the side before the likes of Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana, Tom Banton, and Sunil Narine.

Kuldeep Yadav:

Kuldeep Yadav KKR

This name might surprise you in the list of probable release players. Yadav does not have a solid reason to stay back with the franchise. Although he is not given that many chances for the side to perform. In the 2020 season of IPL, Yadav got 5 outings and picked just one scalp.

With the likes of Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine Shahrukh Khan-owned franchise might release the chinaman bowler ahead of IPL.

Tom Banton:

The English all-rounder was praised to have some instincts of former Kevin Peterson could not manage to create much impact with the performance. After a much-hyped entry in IPL 2020, Tom was picked in two games, both against Royal Challenger Bangalore, and scored just 18 runs for his side.

Unfortunately, this will not be enough to impress the management to hold him back with the side. Having the services of Andree Russell and Sunil Narine, KKR might release the English all-rounder ahead of IPL 2021.

Australia vs India: Gautam Gambhir thinks Kohli did a blunder by Giving Bumrah just two overs

0

Australia vs India: Gautam Gambhir thinks Kohli did a blunder by Giving Bumrah just two overs. Former Indian Batsman in an interview talked about the blunders. Australia vs India: Gautam Gambhir thinks Kohli did a blunder by Giving Bumrah just two overs.

The former Indian southpaw, Gautam Gambhir feels Virat Kohli has done a big blunder by giving his premier bowlers just two overs opening spell. Gambhir in talks with ESPNcricinfo opened about the mistakes committed by the Indian skipper in the first two ODIs.

Australia has already bagged the series with a 2-0 lead in the second game of the three-match ODI series. The home team won the first two games with a huge margin to clinch the series as well as 20 points in the ICC World Cup Super League Points Table.

Giving just 2 overs upfront is a tactical blunder : Gambhir

However, Gautam Gambhir who already talked about the captaincy change in the white-ball format told, giving your premier bowler just two overs opening spell has cost India the series. He cited the example of opposition skipper Aaron Finch, how he is using his lead bowlers and won the two games easily.

If you have a pacer of Jasprit Bumrah’s caliber and you are giving him just two overs upfront. It is not a tactical mistake, it’s a tactical blunder,” Gambhir.

At least Kohli should give Shami and Bumrah five overs spell to get into the conditions and take wickets with the new ball.

I was expecting, Jasprit Bumrah and Shami to bowl five overs spell upfront and try to get some couple of wickets. I don’t think there is any skipper in the world who would give Jasprit Bumrah just two overs with the new ball.

Aaron Finch, David Warner and Steve Smith are all in their good touch if there is someone who can probably pick them up, that is Bumrah.

All the top order Australian batsmen are in their prime form, who has the best chance of taking their wicket? Jasprit Bumrah,” he added.

You just give them two overs in the opening spell and bring them back after 10 overs when the ball gets old. I think that’s the blunder and you should feel for these pacers, he too is human.”

Australian Success:

Gambhir then talked about Australian success in the first two ODIs against India.

That’s impressive how Finch rotated his bowlers. He gave Josh Hazlewood, his premier bowler, six overs spell in the first game while five overs spell in the second. There comes the difference.

Aaron Finch also used his sixth bowlers nicely, between Marcus Stoinis and Maxwell in the first game while with Henriques and Maxwell in the second. When you have a sixth bowler to bowl 5-6 overs for you then you can probably cut down the overs from your frontline pacer who is having a bad day. That’s what Finch did with Mitchell Starc.

The World Cup winning player then talked about Smith and Virat’s comparison.

You will probably say Virat is great in ODI and he is far ahead of anyone. But watching Smith’s numbers, he is not much behind.

“He (Smith) has scored 62 balls back to back hundreds. Obviously, you will call Kohli the greatest ODI player as per numbers but not much difference between him and Smith.

Justin Langer, Australian head coach on Warner’s injury:

Warner will work through his groin injury which he sustained during the second game while in Pat’s case all of our players are managed well to keep them physically and mentally fit throughout.

Both the players are our priorities and are being fully prepared for the most important home Test Series we have played in recent years, especially with World Test Championship points up for grabs.
