The India VS Australia 2023 series is getting worse for the Australian squad. The list of injuries is getting longer by the minute. Josh Hazlewood, who was expected to be a part of the 3rd Test to be played in Indore, has been ruled out of the India VS Australia 2023 series. He will be heading back to Australia with Pat Cummins, who has momentarily gone back to Australia as there is a serious health issue in his family. 



David Warner is likely to miss the 3rd Test too as he is nursing a blow that he got on the elbow in the India VS Australia 2023 2nd Test match. The bowler was Mohammed Siraj. Here is an in-depth look at the same:?



<h2>Josh Hazlewood Ruled out of the India VS Australia 2023 Series:?</h2>

IMG SRC: CS</figcaption></figure>



Josh Hazlewood is having a difficult phase in his career. The Australian pacer was at the peak of his career. He was ranked number 1 in the T20 bowlers? ranking and was doing wonders for Australia with the red ball too. One can never forget him rattling the Indian batting line-up in Adelaide and wrapping them up for 36 runs only. &nbsp;



But since November 2022, he has been nursing an Achilles Tendon injury. He has been ruled out since the New Year?s test match against South Africa. Australia does have immense fast bowling depth but the absence of a champion player like Hazlewood can never be recovered. ?



<h2>David Warner Injured His Elbow in the India VS Australia 2023 Series:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/WARNER.jpg" alt="India VS Australia 2023" class="wp-image-102576" title="India VS Australia 2023 David Warner" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ind vs Aus: David Warner was ruled out of the 2nd Test with a concussion, and Matt Renshaw is to replace him.</figcaption></figure>



The list of injuries is increasing in the Australian camp. This can ruin their plans for the India VS Australia 2023 series. David Warner, the star left-handed opener is nursing an elbow injury. He had injured his elbow when Mohammed Siraj bowled a fiery spell at him in the first innings of the 2nd Test match played at Delhi. One of the balls took off the pitch and hit Warner hard on the elbow. ?



He was ruled out of the game too and Matt Renshaw was his concussion substitute. But it is expected that the injury will take time to recover, and David Warner will fly back to Australia for the same. The Nine, an Australian news outlet reported that Matt Renshaw and Ashton Agar are also carrying injuries. &nbsp;



<h2>Cameron Green, Mitchell Starc, and Mitchell Swepson are Back in the Squad:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Mitchell-Starc-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="India VS Australia 2023 Mitchell Starc" class="wp-image-94347" title="India VS Australia 2023 Mitchell Starc" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: CA</figcaption></figure>



But on the positive side of the news, two of the most crucial players are back in the squad for the Australian team for the India VS Australia 2023 series. Mitchell Starc who had stress fractures is likely to be back in action in Indore. Starc and his pace are very well-known. His presence will add immense value to the pace battery. Starc will join forces with Pat Cummins.



Cameron Green, the young, tall, batting-allrounder is also likely to be a part of the playing XI. Both players have completed their rehabilitation. Mitchell Swepson, the leg spinner from Australia is also back. He had gone back to Australia last week due to the birth of his kid. His can also be Australia?s trump card to take India apart. ?

India VS Australia 2023: Josh Hazlewood Gets Ruled Out of Series. David Warner is Injured too. All Updates. ?

india-vs-australia-2023-josh-hazlewood-gets-ruled-out-of-series-david-warner-is-injured-too-all-updates

India VS Australia 2023 series is becoming a nail-biting encounter. The Australians are coming back into the series after a victory in the third test match. The series currently stands 2-1 in favor of India. But if India wants to comprehensively qualify for the WTC final, they will have to defeat Australia in the last and final game which is supposed to be held at Ahmedabad. Here is a look at what the Indian cricket team coach Rahul Dravid had to say in the pre-match press conference:&nbsp;



<h2>India VS Australia 2023: ?Have To Improve in Both, Batting and Bowling? Says Rahul Dravid:&nbsp;</h2>



The Indian Cricket team evidently struggled with the ball in hand in the second innings of the third test match. But there were only 78 runs on the board and to put pressure on the opposition with only those many runs, is a tough ask. The batting performance in the third test was not upto the mark. And Rahul Dravid pointed out the same before the India VS Australia 2023 4th test.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/India-vs-Australia.jpg" alt="India VS Australia 2023" class="wp-image-103649" title="India VS Australia 2023" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">India were clearly played out in both the forms of the game by Australia. IMG SRC: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



He said, ?We will have to work both on batting and bowling (departments). If you see the Indore Test, 109 runs in the first innings were not good enough. If we had scored 60-70 runs more, it would have been good. We also allowed them a few extra runs in the first innings in that situation and those conditions. So we will have to do better in both the areas of the game.?.&nbsp;The India VS Australia 2023 4th Test begins on March 9. 



<h2>Rahul Dravid Says, ?Have to be Realistic About Good Performances?:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IND-vs-AUS-2nd-TEst.jpg" alt="India VS Australia 2023" class="wp-image-102654" title="India VS Australia 2023" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The pitches have always been a talking point and they are not batter friendly in any case. IMG SRC: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



Rahul Dravid also emphasized how it was necessary to be realistic about what a ?good performance? is on these kinds of wickets. The pitch in Indore was a rank turner and the batter found it very difficult. Expecting someone to get a 100 on that wicket is something that seems unrealistic. 



This is what he had to say based on the same lines, ?It?s just really about being realistic about what is a good performance on some of the challenging wickets that we are playing on. Not only here, but I think over the last many matches. I mean I think if you look at the last three or four years all over the world, I think wickets have generally, you know I think, got a lot more challenging?.&nbsp;The India VS Australia 2023 series hangs in balance at 2-1 and Aussies will be keen to level the series. 



<h2>India VS Australia 2023: Rahul Dravid Settles Bharat and Kishan Debate:&nbsp;</h2>



There is also a word around that Ishan Kishan, the better batter must be chosen ahead of Srikar Bharat. Bharat made his debut in the first test match against Australia. Before that, he had dominated 3 to 4 Ranji seasons and had been traveling across the globe with the India A team. In terms of wicket-keeping skills, he is one of the best too. The India VS Australia 2023 series saw some of his best as a keeper.&nbsp;



On that argument, Rahul Dravid said, ?We are not (concerned) and it again comes to a question of perspective and understanding of some of the challenges and conditions that he (Bharat) has kept in and even though it's not a big contribution, but he (Bharat) got 17 in the first innings?. Bharat is batting at an average of 14.25 in this series and hence he is under the pump of the critics. &nbsp;

India VS Australia 2023: ?Have to Improve in Both Batting and Bowling Department?, Says Indian Coach Rahul Dravid. &nbsp;

Rohit Sharma has been very calm and composed with the statements that he makes in the media post being appointed as the Indian captain. But on the eve of the 4th test match against Australia, the Indian captain did not hold back his remarks. It was Ravi Shastri who criticized Rohit Sharma and team India on air while commentating for Star TV Network. Shastri went on to say that team India was overconfident in the 3rd Test match which they lost on a rank turner. Here is what Rohit Sharma had to say in response:&nbsp;



<h2>Ravi Shastri Says Indian Team was ?Overconfident? in the 3rd Test:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Rohit-Sharma-and-Ravi-Shastri-1.jpg" alt="Ravi Shastri and Rohit Sharma" class="wp-image-82294" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The previous head coach, Ravi Shastri was very critical of the Indian cricket team's attitude in the 3rd Test match. IMG SRC: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



?This is what a little complacency and a little bit of overconfidence can do where you take things for granted, you drop guard and this game will bring you down.?, Shastri said while covering the game live for the Star TV Network. Shastri has been the team manager since 2014 and was also the coach of the Indian cricket team for 4 years from 2017 to 2021. He has seen how cricket has evolved and he is not new to the pressure and standard of the game. These comments of such a well-aware person did not go down very well with Indian skipper Rohit Sharma. ?



<h2>Rohit Sharma Calls Ravi Shastri?s Remark ?Rubbish?:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/rahul_dravid_and_rohit_sharma-si-1024x576.jpg" alt="Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma" class="wp-image-93211" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit has had a very good equation with the coaches but this statement of the previous head coach did not go down well with him! IMG SRC: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



Rohit has been very calm when answering such tough questions in the past. He had been earlier asked about his possible rift with Virat and also about dropping Virat Kohli, but Rohit Sharma has answered these questions with composure. But this time, the Indian skipper did not hold back and expressed what he truly felt. &nbsp;



?Honestly when you win two games and the people on the outside feel we are overconfident, it?s absolutely ?rubbish? because you want to do your best in all 4 games.?, Rohit said. He further added, ?You don?t want to stop by winning two games, it is as simple as that. Obviously, all these guys when they talk about being overconfident and all and especially when they are not a part of the dressing room, they don?t know what sort of talk happens in the dressing room.?&nbsp;



<h2>Rohit Sharma Refers to Ravi Shastri as an ?Outsider?:?</h2>



In a very one-of-a-kind statement from Sharma, he went on to refer to Shastri as an ?outsider?. He said, ?We want to do our best in all games and if it seems overconfident, or anything like that for the ?outsiders?, it doesn?t matter to us.??Further Rohit added, "So, yeah it's about being "ruthless" and not being "overconfident". Ruthless is a word that comes to every cricketer's mind, not to give an inch to the opposition while touring abroad".



The 4th game will begin at 9:30 am on 9 March 2023. The venue is the newly built Shri. Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Rohit Sharma Says Ravi Shastri?s Remark Was ?Rubbish?. India VS Australia 4th Test Press Conference. &nbsp;

rohit-sharma-says-ravi-shastris-remark-was-rubbish-india-vs-australia-4th-test-press-conference

The India VS Australia 4th Test match began on a positive note for Australia. Usman Khawaja played one of the most well-crafted innings on Indian soil against one of the best Indian spin attacks in the India VS Australia 4th Test match. He played a very calm inning to score a well-fought 104 to ensure that Australia end the day with honors. Due to his innings, the Aussies are a little ahead in the test match. Here is a look:?



<h2>Usman Khawaja Scores 104* in India VS Australia 4th Test:&nbsp;</h2>



It was a treat for all the Australian fans. Usman Khawaja, the tall, left-handed opener from Australia finally got his due. He had been struggling to score runs in Asia. But he has now shut the critics with his excellent performance against India in India. Khawaja started the innings very steadily with Travis Head. ?



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Usman-Khawaja-min-1024x569.jpg" alt="Usman Khawaja in India VS Australia" class="wp-image-104166" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



Head was also looking equally good at the other end, but it was Ravindra Jadeja who opened the floodgates for the Indian cricket team. Mohammed Shami then walked in and took the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne. Australia was stationed at 72/2 at lunch. ?



<h2>India VS Australia 4th Test Day 1:&nbsp;</h2>



In the post-lunch session, the Indian team did show signs of a comeback, but Cameron Green played like a warrior. The Indian team got rid of Peter Handscomb and Steve Smith in quick succession but Green and Khawaja avoided further collapse. Khawaja tackled Ashwin very well. R Ashwin has the strength to bowl against left-handers. But Khawaja did not let him settle at all. He used his feet to break his line and length.?

He took 2 wickets. IMG SRC: Indian Express. </figcaption></figure>



Usman Khawaja ended the day by scoring a well-fought 104*. His dream innings had 15 fours and no six. But his timing and class were on display. Australia ended with 255 runs losing 4 wickets. Cameron Green and Khawaja are the overnight batters. Green is batting on 49 runs of 64 balls. It was his counterattack that put the Indians behind. He scored quick runs. ?



<h2>Brief Scores:</h2>



Australia: 255/4&nbsp;



Usman Khawaja: 104* off 251 balls.&nbsp;



Cameron Green: 49* runs of 64 balls.&nbsp;



Mohammed Shami: 2/65 (17 overs).&nbsp;



Ravindra Jadeja: 1/49 (20 overs).&nbsp;

India VS Australia Highlights: Usman Khawaja?s 104* Keeps Australia in Front on Day 1. Australia 255/4 After Day 1.?

After chasing leather for 2 consecutive days in the India VS Australia 4th Test match, the Indian cricket team has finally shown some great intent with the bat. The Indian cricket team managed to put on a decent display with the bat on day 4. Shubman Gill was the star of this inning. He scored a marvelous 100 to put India in a comfortable position. Pujara and Rohit batted well. Virat Kohli looks confident. Shubman departed after scoring 128 as he was caught leg-before wicket by a good ball from Nathan Lyon. Here are in-depth updates about the same:?



<h2>Shubman Gill Scores Magnificent 128:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Shubman-Gill.jpg" alt="India VS Australia Shubman Gill" class="wp-image-65498" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shubman Gill looked rock solid with his defense against the spinners. IMG SRC: BCCI/AFP. </figcaption></figure>



Shubman Gill was looking solid on the evening of the second day itself. But his performance on day 2 affirmed the same. He looked very confident with his strokes. He played the off-spin of Nathan Lyon very well. He used the very old technique of footwork to deal with the spin. His innings of 128 comprised two good partnerships. Rohit Sharma scored a well-fought 35 while Cjeteshwar Pujara managed to score 35 runs to help Shubman to get to his 100. Shubman hit 12 fours and a 6 to amass the 128 runs. ?



<h2>India VS Australia: Shubman Gill Dismissed by Nathan Lyon After Scoring 128 Runs:&nbsp;</h2>



But it was Nathan Lyon who had the last laugh. He bowled a very precise delivery which turned just the perfect amount to trap Shubman Gill's leg-before wicket. Shubman was on the back foot and got stuck on the crease and hence found it difficult to tackle the ball. Ravindra Jadeja was the next man to walk out to bat. India lost its first wicket at 74 and it is the second wicket at 187. Nathan Lyon and Todd Murphy look like the best bowlers of the opposition. They bowled at an economy of 2.1 runs an over. ?The India VS Australia 4th Test match is taking an fun turn. 



<h2>India VS Australia 4th Test: Match Hangs in Balance:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Usman-Khawaja-min-1024x569.jpg" alt="Usman Khawaja in India VS Australia" class="wp-image-104166" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">After Khawaja's innings, Australia was ahead, but now match is in balance. IMG SRC: Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



The Australian cricket team had their nose ahead in the match till yesterday evening. But Shubman Gill?s innings have inspired the Indian batters. The Indian team is currently stationed at 250/3. The team is looking to scale down the mammoth total of almost 500 runs. They will be looking to reduce the first innings lead as much as possible. It now lies in the hands of Kohli and the other batters to do their job. ?



<h2>Brief Scores:</h2>



Australia 1st Innings:



Total: 480/10.



Usman Khawaja: 180 Runs. (LBW by Axar)



Cameron Green 114 Runs. (C by Bharat and Bowled by Ashwin)



R Ashwin: 6/91.



India 1st Innings (At Time of Report):



Total: 254/3 



Shubman Gill: 128 Runs (Leg Before Wicket by Lyon)

India VS Australia 4th Test Highlights: Shubman Gill Departs After 128. Virat Kohli Hangs In. &nbsp;

india-vs-australia-4th-test-highlights-shubman-gill-departs-after-128-virat-kohli-hangs-in

Rohit Sharma has showered praise on R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. The India VS Australia 2023 Test series resulted in a 2-1 India victory. In the post-match press conference Rohit Sharma, the Indian skipper had a lot of words of praise for the dynamic spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin shared 47 wickets among them in this India VS Australia 2023 Series and were named the ?Player of the series?. Here is an in-depth look:



<h2>Rohit Sharma: ?Ashwin and Jadeja?s Shoes Are Big Ones to Fill?:</h2>



Rohit Sharma in the post-match press conference had to say the following about the dynamic duo, ?Both of them are marathon performers for us. They know exactly how to get the job done, especially in this part of the world. You give them the ball; they?ll give you those breakthroughs. With the bat, they give us crucial runs. They are important players for us. A large part of our success belongs to those two guys. Obviously, it?s not just for a few years but for a decade. Those shoes will be big ones to fill. For the sake of Indian cricket, I hope they play for a long time.?



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/R-Ashwin-1.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma on R Ashwin" class="wp-image-102041" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ashwin has been the top player for India in test cricket off-late. He contributes with the ball and bat as well. Image Source: Twitter</figcaption></figure>



Rohit Sharma expects Jaddu and Ashwin to play for at least 4 more years. But that looks a little difficult. Rohit Sharma did shower heaps of praise on the duo, but age is not on their side.



Ravindra Jadeja is currently 34 and will be playing for at least 3 to 4 more years. R Ashwin on the other hand has a little lesser time as he is aged 36. The Indian cricket team will now have to look for players who can be groomed in the absence of R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Some names that come to mind include Saurabh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Dharmendrasingh Jadeja.



<h2>Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin Dominate Against Australia:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/ind-vs-aus-1.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma on Rabindra Jadeja" class="wp-image-102120" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Jadeja took 5 wickets in the first inning of India vs Australia 1st Test Day 1</figcaption></figure>



Both spinners are elite performers. But the duo become more lethal against Australia. R Ashwin has taken 114 of his 474 wickets against the Australian team. Ravindra Jadeja on the other hand has taken 85 of his 264 wickets against the Kangaroos. The duo has complete dominance over the Australian. R Ashwin has also asserted dominance over David Warner by getting him out 10+ times in test cricket. Another such common victim was Ed Cowan, another Australian opener. Jadeja on the other hand is a menace for right-handed batters. His strength is consistently bowling at one particular spot and a faster pace.

India's most awaited Test consignment is less than a month away. India and Australia are scheduled to play the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 starting 22 November. Pat Cummins, the Australian skipper is set to present a welcome to the Indian team in the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy. 



The defending champions, India, won the BGT 2022-23 at home by 2-1, their fourth consecutive trophy win. In the history of the BGT, India has won the series 10 times against Australia's 5 times, with one series ending in a draw.

This series marks Pat Cummins' first as Test captain against India. Cummins has had notable success leading Australia against India, dealing India two tough defeats in major tournament finals in 2023. 



Under his leadership, Australia triumphed over India in the World Test Championship final, followed by a victory in the ODI World Cup title clash against Rohit Sharma?s squad in November.

Cummins is well aware of the challenge India brings to the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. When asked about his expectations for the pitch conditions as Australia hosts India, he couldn?t resist making a playful remark, hinting at the intriguing battle that lies ahead.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PAT CUMMINS on Pitches</h2>



During an interview with?The Grade Cricketer, Pat Cummins said; "I wish, if I had my way, the pitches would be looking like those bushes behind you (laughs).?



?Unfortunately, I don't have any say so we will wait and see. Last couple of seasons, the wickets have been awesome. It feels like if someone has scored a hundred, they have batted the house down. Taken them a few sessions whereas my first couple of years, some of those wickets were so flat,? Pat Cummins added.



When asked about his opinion on the competition of bat and ball, he said, "I just hope there is a bit of balance between bat and ball. I think some of those Indian spinning wickets as well, I think that last tour, Delhi we should have won, it just get the teams close to each other if you get the wickets like that, but you don't listen to our players complaining about those types of wickets.?



All and all, India are going to face a tougher challenge this time around in Australia.

Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.
Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.
Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form
Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.

Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.
In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.

Prithvi shaw is just 25 and has lot of cricket left inside him ,the thing he need that to focus on his fitness and batting weakness. 
If the things goes well, not the next year but shaw will probably get chance to play in IPL this year too,if any team needs replacement for player ,he might be a good to get that place.

The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.
MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.
Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.
Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c540e2f01.jpg" alt="">
Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.

In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.
 
The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.
Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.
But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.

players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.
Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.
In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.
