Andy Flower, Daniel Vettori likely to join Lucknow franchise coaching management.



IPL 2022: The two new Indian Premier League (IPL) teams, Ahmedabad and Lucknow, have begun their procedures to rope in the coaching management and the three players under the provision of ?Special Picks?. The two franchises will become functional from the upcoming season of the IPL.



As per the recent development, the Lucknow based new IPL franchise has finalised the two most probable candidates in Daniel Vettori and Andy Flower for the head coach position. Earlier, former World Cup-winning coach for India Gary Kirsten and Trevor Bayliss were also in the eyes of the franchise officials, however, the decision was later withdrawn.



If the experts are believed, former Punjab Kings (PBKS) coach Andy Flower is believed to have a clear edge over Daniel Vettori. The reason for Flower to be the most favourable candidate is his bond with KL Rahul, who is likely to be appointed Lucknow?s captain.



At Punjab Kings (PBKS) KL Rahul and Andy Flower shared a good bond. Both have worked closely together and have a good understanding.



However, for any official development to take place, the two new franchise requires a nod from the BCCI, governing body of the IPL. The Indian cricket board has put all the actions on hold, as of now, due to the issue of CVC Capitals, the winner of Ahmedabad based IPL franchise bid.

CVC Capitals is associated with the big betting companies. The partnership of CVC Capitals with the betting firms is not going well with the BCCI as several questions have been raised by netizens.?A proper investigation is being carried out with a panel of neutral judges including the big-wigs of the High Court and Supreme court.



<h2>Ravi Shastri likely to be Ahmedabad head coach:</h2>



Meanwhile, the Ahmedabad based IPL franchise was reported to have approached former India coach Ravi Shastri for the coaching role. Shastri along with Bharat Arun was contacted by the officials of Ahmedabad recently, while the official confirmation is yet to come.



Shastri's tenure as India's head coach ended following India's early exit from the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Post his resignation, Rahul Dravid was appointed for the role.

Andy Flower to be Lucknow IPL Franchises head coach in IPL 2022: The unnamed Lucknow based Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise has roped in former Zimbabwe captain and celebrated coach Andy Flower for the upcoming season of the IPL. He will begin his coaching role as soon as the franchise make an official announcement on the development.



Lucknow shortlisted as many as six coaches with varying experiences in the cricket's shortest format. The franchise then zeroed down on the former Zimbabwe cricketer Andy Flower. He was up against the likes of Daniel Vittori and Gary Kirsten.



It is noteworthy that Andy Flower recently parted ways with Punjab Kings (PBKS) as their assistant coach.



?Andy Flower has been around for a long time. He has a solid reputation as a T20 coach, having been around the world coaching various franchises.

IPL 2022: Andy Flower to be Lucknow IPL Franchises head coach in IPL 2022

Mumbai Indians is my biggest inspiration says Sanjeev Goenka, Lucknow franchise owner: Sanjeev Goenka, the owner of the Lucknow based Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, has hailed Mumbai Indians (MI) for their commendable success in the IPL. He said that the Reliance Industries owned IPL franchise is his ?biggest inspiration?.



Mumbai Indians (MI) have bagged as many as five Indian Premier League (IPL) titles, most by any franchise. The franchise overcame its title draught back in 2013 when the captaincy was handed over to young Rohit Sharma midway through the tournament. Since then, the team in blue and gold has fetched five titles in the T20 league.



Goenka, who won the operating rights of Lucknow by shelling out INR 7090 Crores, reckons that Mumbai Indians's successful template is not only effective for the IPL franchises but every sports franchise should try to emulate that.



?The biggest inspiration for me is Mumbai Indians. What they have achieved, and how they have gone about it, is a template for not only other IPL teams but sports franchises worldwide,? said Sanjeev Goenka during an interaction with TOI.



He also said that the BCCI should completely scrap the mega auction as it has outlived its utility.



?I have to follow the system [mega auctions]. I have no role in the rules and regulations [of the IPL],? he added.

<h2>Gautam Gambhir will have motivational role:</h2>



Goenka further explained the exact role given to the former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir in the IPL 2022. It is noteworthy that Gambhir has been appointed the Lucknow team?s mentor.



?Gautam will primarily have a motivational role to play,? he said. ?He will also help to create a blueprint for the franchise in the long term. We wanted to have people with a proven track record of success. Gautam has also successfully groomed a generation of youngsters for KKR and that went in his favour.?



?He has an image of being a totally non-partisan leader with a focus on results. Look at what he did for KKR. Fundamentally we would like the dressing room to be geared towards a culture of performance,? Goenka added.



Gautam Gambhir was overwhelmed with the role he was given. The cricketer was elated with joy and said, ?The fire to win a contest still burns bright inside me. The desire to leave a winner?s legacy still kicks me 24?7. I will not be contesting for a dressing room but for the spirit and soul of Uttar Pradesh.?

IPL 2022: The developments for the upcoming fifteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) have begun with the celebration of the New Year 2022. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) earlier announced the induction of two new IPL franchises that will become functional in IPL 2022.



The RPSG Group bagged the operational rights of the Lucknow based IPL franchise while the CVC Capitals Partners owned the functioning of the Ahmedabad based Indian Premier League franchise.



Though the Lucknow IPL team has already received its Letter Of Intent (LOI), Ahmedabad is yet to receive it from the BCCI.



Ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, the Lucknow based IPL franchise has revealed its official title sponsor. Fantasy sports platform My11Circle has successfully signed a three years deal with the franchise to become their title sponsor.



As part of the deal, My11Circle?s branding will be displayed in Lucknow?s IPL jersey for the upcoming three editions of the IPL.



The development was confirmed by the co-founder of Games 24x7.



?We are excited to announce our first IPL team sponsorship and the Lucknow team is a perfect fit as it represents the heartland of the country where cricket fans have ardently supported the sport and now get an opportunity to support their own team," says Bhavin Pandya, co-Founder and co-CEO of Games24x7, about the association with one of the newest teams in IPL.



Expressing his delight on Lucknow?s association with My11Circle, RPSG Group CEO, Raghu Iyer said, ?We are delighted to have My11Circle as our principal team sponsor. We thank them for the faith they have shown in our new franchise and are confident that this will be a winning partnership.?



Besides roping the title sponsor, a few other big steps have already been taken by the newly inducted Lucknow based IPL team.



It has roped in former Punjab Kings (PBKS) coach, Andy Flower as the head coach of the franchise. The franchise has also appointed former Indian left-handed batsman Gautam Gambhir as the mentor of the team.

IPL 2022: Lucknow IPL team seals title sponsor deal with My11Circle, more deals coming

ipl-2022-lucknow-ipl-team-seals-title-sponsor-deal-with-my11circle-more-deals-coming

Captain of Lucknow IPL Team in the IPL 2022: The Lucknow based new IPL franchise has been grabbing the headlines since it won the bid for a whopping INR 7090 Crores. The RPSG Group placed the highest ever bid for the IPL Franchise to get the operational rights of the Lucknow based Indian Premier League team.



Following its highest bid, Lucknow roped in Andy Flower as team head coach for the IPL 2022. Flower was associated with the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2021, however, he parted ways with the franchise ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction.



Further, the RPSG Group-owned IPL franchise played a masterstroke to appoint two times IPL winning skipper Gautam Gambhir as the mentor of the team for the coming season.



The franchise is expected to reveal a couple of other big developments in the month of January itself. One of which could be the announcement of the three players who will join the team ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, under the special draft picks.



As per the rule formed by the BCCI, the new teams can buy three players from the released player list ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.



However, amongst all the big updates and developments, the biggest and the most valuable will be the selection of the skipper of Lucknow. The franchise will be keen on picking an impeccable leader for the team, who can create a positive environment and motivate the boys in all circumstances.



Someone, who has the prowess to bring the best out of the resources available and make most of the acquired asset in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.



Here in this article, we will take a look at the probable players who can be the captain of the Lucknow IPL team in the IPL 2022.



<h2>Captain of Lucknow IPL Team in the IPL 2022:</h2>



<h3>KL Rahul:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/10/KL-Rahul.jpg" alt="IPL 2022: KL Rahul likely to seek a new franchise in IPL 2022 Mega Auction" class="wp-image-76677" /><figcaption>Image: Punjab Kings (PBKS)/Twitter</figcaption></figure>



The Indian opener batsman is arguably the most likely choice to be the skipper of Lucknow based IPL team. Even before the IPL 2022 retentions, the sources indicated Rahul's possible ties with Lucknow.



KL Rahul, a potent batsman, can don several hats during the hour of need. In recent times, Rahul has been sensational with his flamboyant batting skills.



The cricketer has been amongst the pile of runs in the last few seasons of the Indian Premier League. Even outside the IPL, KL has been a remarkable cricketer. His batting brilliance has fetched him a permanent place in India's all three formats.



Moreover, the BCCI recently boosted Rahul as the vice-captain of India in the T20Is which speaks volumes of KL Rahul?s brilliance.



Besides his batting skills, Rahul is also a mature leader. He is certainly shaping himself into a formidable cricketer who can be an asset for a team in every aspect.?



Though his last two IPL stints with Punjab Kings (PBKS) didn?t bring him fruitful results, the learnings from those two seasons would further mould his brain to be a successful skipper in the future.?

<h3>Shreyas Iyer:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/12/Shreyas-Iyer-DC.jpg" alt="Captain of Lucknow IPL Team in the IPL 2022" class="wp-image-82346" /><figcaption>Image: IPL</figcaption></figure>



If KL Rahul isn?t in Lucknow?s top priority, former Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Shreyas Iyer would be a good choice. Iyer was released by Delhi Capitals (DC) during the recent player retention process. The franchise opted to free Shreyas Iyer and picked Rishabh Pant, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje and Prithvi Shaw as their top four retentions.



Iyer is an astute skipper with the ability to jell in with each player in the team. Iyer led young Delhi Capitals (DC) in the three consecutive seasons since IPL 2018 and changed the fortunes of the team.



Under his leadership, DC reached the maiden IPL final in the IPL 2020 which they eventually lost against the experience of Mumbai Indians.



Moreover, Iyer?s batting exploits are secret to none. He has been contributing to the team?s success consistently and more often than not he rescues his side from the crunch situations.



Iyer?s inner spark to lead the team and take it to the winning ways has fetched good results which certainly makes him a leader of the future. Many legendary cricketers have termed Shreyas Iyer to be the skipper of team India in the coming future.



<h3>Shikhar Dhawan:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/Shikhar-Dhawan-DC-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82607" /><figcaption>Image: AFP</figcaption></figure>



Experienced batsman Shikhar Dhawan would be another fine choice for the Lucknow IPL team to pick the leader. Dhawan was also released by Delhi Capitals (DC) after the IPL 2021.



The seasoned campaigner has kept his bat up and running for the longest time in the IPL. The southpaw has scored over 400 runs in every IPL season he featured after 2015. Moreover, his recent two IPL seasons have been extremely rewarding and stunning.



Dhawan scored over 600 runs in IPL 2020 and mustered over 580 runs in the recently concluded IPL 2021. He worked extremely hard on his T20 batting and the results have surprised everyone, even to him as well.



Moreover, Dhawan has briefly captained Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL 2013 &amp; 2014. Back in 2013, which was SRH?s debut season, Dhawan led the team to its maiden playoffs.&nbsp;



Shikhar Dhawan recently took charge of team India in its tour of Sri Lanka. Under his leadership, India thrashed Sri Lanka by 2-1 and won the series.



The left-handed opening batsman will be a tremendous choice as the captain of the team. Lucknow would be keen to have his services in the IPL 2022.

Lucknow Super Giants! Lucknow Owner Sanjeev Goenka Unveils Name for Lucknow Franchise.

lucknow-super-giants-lucknow-owner-sanjeev-goenka-unveils-name-for-lucknow-franchise

TATA IPL 2022 is around the corner and all teams are looking to make the best of the available options. Ahmedabad franchise has picked Hardik, Rashid Khan, and Shubman Gill. While Lucknow Super Giants has gone for KL Rahul, Marcus Stoinis, and Ravi Bishnoi. All the other teams too have finalized their retentions. With the TATA IPL 2022 to be played in India, the teams will make plans accordingly. Here is a look at the points to consider while making a team:&nbsp;



<h2 id="ground-pitch-and-location-will-matter-in-tata-ipl-2022">Ground, Pitch, and Location Will Matter in TATA IPL 2022:?</h2>



The teams always need to consider facts such as ground, pitch, and location. For instance, selecting several spinners will not be beneficial for RCB as the ground is small in size. The Chinnaswami pitch has a bounce on offer and the batsmen can easily clear the boundary. However, while selecting spinners <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/predicted-ipl-2022-squad-of-royal-challengers-bangalore-rcb/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RCB </a>must go for wrist spinners as they are more attacking than the finger spinners. ?



A team like Rajasthan can invest in spinners as Sawai Mann Singh Stadium is a large ground and the boundaries are not easy to clear. The same is the case for Chennai<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/chennai-super-kings-csk-new-captain-in-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">. Chennai</a> can go for slower bowlers as the Chidambaram pitch has no pace on offer. If the pace is given, batsmen hit big! So, Chennai can use the slower pitch in their favor. ?



<h2 id="strong-opening-options">Strong Opening Options:&nbsp;</h2>



A team needs to have a strong opening combination if they intend to win TATA IPL 2022. Over the years, a successful team has had strong opening combinations. Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill were the dynamic combinations that revived Kolkata Knight Riders last season. Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith for CSK in 2014, Rohit Sharma and Lendl Simmons for Mumbai in 2015, Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu for CSK in 2018, and Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa in 2014! The list of good opening combinations is long.?



The duo must be such that one player must take on the bowlers from the word go while the other one can take his time. Rohit Sharma and Jason Roy can make a good pair. Ishan Kishan and Jonny Bairstow can also be ideal choices. ?



<h2 id="middle-order-with-floaters-will-help-in-tata-ipl-2022">Middle-Order With Floaters Will Help in TATA IPL 2022:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fk3-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-83110" /><figcaption>This trio of players helped Mumbai Indians win two consecutive trophies! IMG SRC:CricketTimes.com </figcaption></figure>



Having a rigid middle-order doesn?t work in favor of a team. <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/mumbai-indians-mi-retained-and-released-players-list-in-ipl-2022-mega-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Mumbai Indians </a>over the years have gone for the combination of the Pollard and Pandya brothers. What this combination provides is flexibility. If wickets tumble early, Krunal walks in to hold the innings together. If wickets fall late and a good foundation is available, Polly and Hardik attack the opposition. A middle-order with floaters can do wonders for the team. ?



For every successful team, a good middle-order is a must. Dhoni, Raina, and Bravo for CSK in 2011, Glenn Maxwell and David Miller for KXIP in 2014, and Yuvraj Singh, Naman Ojha, and Ben Cutting in SRH 2016. Floaters have a big role in the shortest format of the game.?



<h2 id="a-good-set-of-all-rounders">A Good Set of All-Rounders:&nbsp;</h2>



A good set of all-rounders is a prerequisite for any successful IPL team. A good all-rounder provides balance to the side. A 6th bowling option is a must if any of the bowlers have a bad day. A spin-bowling all-rounder or a pace-bowling one can be selected according to the home ground. Ahmedabad has wisely chosen Hardik as the Ahmedabad pitch has bounce and pace on offer. Chennai on the other hand has smartly held on to Jadeja as the pitch is slow and turns square.?



The top available all-rounders are Jason Holder, Mitchell Marsh, and Shivam Dube. Any of these players can provide balance and can do both the skills well. However, players like Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, and Chris Woakes will be missed. &nbsp;



<h2 id="pacers-who-can-bowl-well-at-the-beginning-and-death">Pacers Who Can Bowl Well at the Beginning and Death:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fk2-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-83109" /><figcaption>Thangasaru Natarajan will be a hot pick in the IPL Auction.IMG SRC: the News Minute</figcaption></figure>



Fast bowlers are an elite breed of players. They work hard on their game. Fast bowlers will certainly get big money in the TATA IPL 2022 Mega Auction. For a team to be successful, it needs bowlers with two skills. A bowler who bowls well at the death, and one who swings the ball in the beginning. Deepak Chahar and T Natarajan can form a good duo. Similarly, Ben Hilfenhaus and Dwayne Bravo did well for CSK in 2010 and 2011. Malinga and McCleneghan did extremely well for Mumbai in 2015. ?



For Mumbai has Bumrah already, they can go for Deepak of Hazlewood. For Punjab has Arshdeep, they will break the bank for senior Indian bowlers like Umesh Yadav and Harshal Patel. ?

Most Popular IPL Teams on Social Media, Most Searched.?IPL 2022

The Lucknow Super Giants is making a debut in the IPL scene this season. The LSG team has, however, done a great job at the auction table. They have the likes of <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/the-biggest-burden-for-kl-rahul-is-to-perform-says-gautam-gambhir/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gautam Gambhir, </a>Andy Flower, and Vijay Dahiya in management. This team has performed exceptionally well at the IPL 2022 Mega Auction covering all bases. It is the only team that spent its entire purse of 90 Crores exactly. Here is a quick analysis of the team:?



<h2>Lucknow Super Giants Team:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Player Name&nbsp;</td><td>Position&nbsp;</td><td>Player Name&nbsp;</td><td>Position&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>KL Rahul&nbsp;</td><td>Batter&nbsp;</td><td>Mohsin Khan&nbsp;</td><td>Bowler&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Quinton De Kock&nbsp;</td><td>Batter/Keeper&nbsp;</td><td>Aayush Badoni&nbsp;</td><td>Batter&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Deepak Hooda&nbsp;</td><td>All-Rounder&nbsp;</td><td>Shabaz Nadeem&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td>Spin Bowler&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Manish Pandey&nbsp;</td><td>Batter&nbsp;</td><td>Manan Vohra&nbsp;</td><td>Batter&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Marcus Stoinis&nbsp;</td><td>All-Rounder&nbsp;</td><td>Dushmantha Chameera&nbsp;</td><td>Fast Bowler&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Krunal Pandya&nbsp;</td><td>All-Rounder&nbsp;</td><td>Ewin Lewis&nbsp;</td><td>Batter&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Jason Holder&nbsp;</td><td>All-Rounder&nbsp;</td><td>Mayank Yadav&nbsp;</td><td>Bowler&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Ravi Bishnoi&nbsp;</td><td>Spin Bowler&nbsp;</td><td>Kyle Mayers&nbsp;</td><td>All-Rounder&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Ankit Rajpoot&nbsp;</td><td>Fast Bowler&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Krishnappa Gowtham&nbsp;</td><td>All-Rounder&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Mark Wood&nbsp;</td><td>Fast Bowler&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Avesh Khan&nbsp;</td><td>Fast Bowler&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2>Strengths of the Lucknow Super Giants:&nbsp;</h2>



T20 is a game of floaters and game-changers. Lucknow Super Giants have made sure to cover all these bases and are filled with all-rounders. Marcus Stoinis, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/rcb-to-target-jason-holder-ambati-rayudu-in-the-ipl-2022-mega-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jason Holder, </a>Krunal Pandya, and Deepak Hooda are the top players in this category and Lucknow has them all. According to the requirement, the batsmen can be floated. If you want to hold the innings, Krunal can do that, if you want to attack Hooda and Stoinis will get the job done. Nicholas Pooran took home 10+ crores and they got an equally effective Quinton De Kock at 6.25 Crores.?



<h2>Weakness of LSG:&nbsp;</h2>



The team has all bases covered and to find a weakness would mean knit-picking. From number 4 to number 7 the team doesn?t have a specialist batsman but relies on all-rounders. Now, this can eventually mean over-dependence which works both ways. They have a good starting XI which directly falls into place. But the Indian backups are not very formidable. ?



<h2>Opportunities for the Lucknow Super Giants:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/cricket-gi1-min-1024x569.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-86207" /><figcaption>Bishnoi is clear, he has his eyes set on the 2022 T20I World Cup in Australia. IMG SRC: The Indian Express.</figcaption></figure>



The biggest opportunity is for Manish Pandey. Pandey is looking to make a comeback to the national team. At Lucknow, he will get ample opportunities to bat at number 3, a place he likes.<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ravi-bishnoi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Ravi Bishnoi</a> is looking to seal a spot in the national team ahead of Yuzi and other spinners. He will be the leader of the spin?attack. ?



<h2>Threats to LSG:&nbsp;</h2>



The only threat possible is if KL Rahul doesn?t stay expressive at the top. He has to play freely while <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/manish-pandey/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manish Pandey</a> can play the anchor. If KL doesn?t express himself, his worth drops. Ankit Rajpoot is generally very effective but if his day goes bad, it goes very very bad. He leaks run faster than a flowing river. They should hope he bowls well. ?



<h2>Expected Playing XI:&nbsp;</h2>



KL Rahul (C), Quinton De Kock, Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Marcus Stoinis, Jason Holder, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Mark Wood, Ankit Rajpoot.&nbsp;



<h2>X-Factor Players:&nbsp;</h2>



KL Rahul is the biggest name on the team. He can win you games in the powerplay overs itself.<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/hardik-and-krunal-pandya-donated-more-oxygen-concentrators-to-covid-centres/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Krunal </a>and Deepak have a lot to offer and many points to prove. The team is full of match-winners.?

Lucknow Super Giants: SWOT Analysis After IPL 2022 Mega Auction.&nbsp;

lucknow-super-giants-swot-analysis-after-ipl-2022-mega-auction

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
