Fastest Deliveries in IPL: Over the years, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has unearthed several domestic talents, who have kept everyone on their toes with their raw pace. One such pacer who recently came to light was Mayank Yadav. The Delhi-based pacer rattled the entire opposition with his startling pace, last night at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.



Mayank Yadav, playing for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in match number 11 of the IPL 2024, hurled thunderbolts at the Punjab Kings (PBKS) batter and was successful in troubling them big time. The pacer managed to clock 155.8 KMPH in his debut game, which saw him make an immediate impact for his side. 



The 21-year-old pacer managed to bag three wickets as well, besides hurling a barrage of thunderbolts against Punjab Kings (PBKS). He got rid of Jonny Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh and Jitesh Sharma during the game.



Interestingly, this is not the first time a pacer has suddenly burst into the scene with his scathing deliveries. Earlier, Umran Malik drew everyone's attention with his pace when he stunned RCB with five consecutive deliveries which clocked over 150 KMPH. 



However, he recorded his best figures as far as the pace was concerned back in IPL 2022 when he delivered 157 KMPH delivery, which largely cemented his position as a key prospect for the Indian team in the coming years.



There are many such examples in the international arena as well. This article will lead you through players with the 10 fastest deliveries in IPL history.

Former Australian pacer Shaun Tait reserves the record for the fastest delivery in the IPL history. The speedster delivered a dazzling 157.71 back in IPL 2011 when he represented Rajasthan Royals (RR). Interestingly, Tait also holds the record for bowling second fastest delivery (161.1 kmph). 



The second fastest delivery in IPL history came off the arms of Kiwi pacer Lokie Ferguson, who clocked 157.3 kmph for Gujarat Titans (GT) during IPL 2022.



Jammu Kashmir pacer Umran Malik, during the IPL 2022, caught everyone's attention when he bowled 157 kmph. Notably, 157 Kmph is still the fastest ball delivered by the Indian pacer in IPL history.

SRH pacer Umran Malik still holds the record of bowling the quickest delivery by an Indian bowler in IPL history. He bowled a 157 KMPH thunderbolt during <a href="https://iplt20.com">IPL</a> 2022 against Delhi Capitals (DC). The second quickest is again from Umran Malik, however, young Mayank Yadav bowled well against Punjab Kings to slot himself at the third place in the elite list.

It was match no.15 of TATA IPL 2024 between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)? and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) but LSG?s dominating performances led them to their second victory of the tournament. The Player of the match was Quinton de Kock, who played a fantastic knock of 81 runs.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IPL 2024 RCB vs LSG Match Summary:</h2>

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) underplayed Lucknow Super Giants in their home ground (M. Chinnaswamy Stadium) as they failed to stop LSG under 150 and weren?t able to chase 182 runs despite having one of the strongest batting units.&nbsp;



The Key batters like Virat Kohli, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=Faf+du+Plessis" rel="nofollow">Faf du Plessis</a> and Glen Maxwell failed to play big innings as they got out quite early but RCB's middle order shattered and showed one of the poor performances of this season so far.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IPL 2024 RCB vs LSG Match Highlights:</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Quinton de Kock Impressive Knock against RCB and led LSG to a decent total:</h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">LSG Batting</h4>



Lucknow Super Giants batted first and they had a good start but it could be much better as the wicket was good for batting. However, LSG scored 54 runs in the batting powerplay but skipper <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/8733/kl-rahul">KL Rahul </a>got out by scoring only 20 runs. But, Quinton de Kock was consistently hitting the boundaries and tried to dominate RCB bowlers.?



However, de Kock was indeed successful as he scored 80 runs in 56 balls with 8 fours and 5 sixes. Lucknow played good cricket especially in the middle overs as they kept rotating the strike and also scoring boundaries as well. In the end, Nicholas Pooran played a stormy inning of 40 runs in 21 balls and led the Lucknow Super Giants to a decent score of 181 runs in Bengaluru.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">RCB Bowling</h4>



Royal Challengers Bengaluru performed well as compared to the other games although it was not up to the mark. Glenn Maxwell took two wickets and he was the only bowler who has dominated the LSG batter in this match. Mohd. Siraj, Reece Topley and Yash Dayal took one wicket each.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">RCB Batting:</h4>



RCB openers Skipper Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli gave an aggressive start to the team as they scored 36 runs in the first four overs of the inning but after that LSG bowlers dominated the game and RCB batters lost back-to-back wickets. Bengaluru was at 59 runs in the 8th over with a loss of four wickets, which includes KGF(Kohli, Maxwell and Faf).



However, later on, Rajat Patidar played a decent inning of 29 runs but failed to convert it into the match-winning inning. RCB's impact player Mahipal Lomror played an impressive and aggressive inning of 33 runs in 13 balls with fours and sixes but RCB failed to chase the target and lost the match by 28 runs.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">LSG Bowling:</h4>



Lucknow's young pacer Mayank Yadav is performing exceptionally as he took three wickets in this match whereas also got three wickets in the last match against Punjab Kings. Marcus Stoinis, Naveen-ul-Haq, Yash Thakur and Manimaran Siddharth took one wicket each.

IPL 2024: RCB All out (153/10), LSG won by 28 Runs | RCB vs LSG Match highlights

ipl-2024-rcb-all-out-153-10-lsg-won-by-28-runs-rcb-vs-lsg-match-highlights

T20 World Cup 2024: The 17th season of the Tata Indian Premier League is in full flow but a much bigger and mega event is right around the corner as the 2024 T20 World Cup is set to start in the month of June after the conclusion of IPL 2024. This year's mega event will be conducted in the USA and the West Indies and India's squad for this year's World Cup is expected to be announced in the final week of April.?



IPL 2024 is going to act as a preparatory ground for the upcoming T20 World Cup and the players will be looking to give their mighty best in the T20 league so that they can cement their spots in the Men in Blue's squad for the T20 World Cup. In view of this, Lucknow Super Giants seamer Mayank Yadav has taken the world by storm with his sheer pace and a perfect execution of line and length.



He made his IPL debut this year and he has performed exceptionally well in the two matches he has featured in so far. In the first match against the Punjab Kings, the LSG pacer took three wickets which included the likes of Jonny Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh and Jitesh Sharma. His figures read 3-27 on his debut game but he didn't stop there as he produced yet another fascinating bowling display against RCB with figures of 3-14 next to his name.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



He got the better of the Aussie duo of Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green with sheer pace. Both of these players are Australians and have a reputation of hammering the best fast bowlers around the world but they too didn't have any answer against the speed and line and length of Mayank Yadav. The 21 year old later dismissed Anuj Rawat and executed yet another perfect display for the Lucknow Super Giants. Mayank is definitely knocking on the door of the selectors with his excellent displays and if he performs consistently throughout the entirety of IPL 2024, he will make his case even stronger to get selected in India's squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup.&nbsp;



The 21 year old has already managed to pick up six wickets in just his first two games in the IPL and he's definitely a one to watch out for. He caught the eye of the selectors when he bowled at a consistent speed of 150+ in the 2023 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He was on the radar of the selectors for the test series against England but he didn't get selected as he suffered a side strain.?



In an interview with the Indian Express Mayank Yadav said, ?I was ready to play on a single leg if I was even 60 percent fit?. His main issue is his fitness. He missed out on last year's IPL due to injury and he even missed the entire season of the Ranji Trophy 2023-24 due to his injury issues.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Mayank-Yadav-1024x603.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-129024" /></figure>



The 21 year old is aware that he needs to work on his fitness and after the match against the Punjab Kings he said, ?I suffered three major injuries in the last two years. Because of those injuries, I wasn't able to participate in IPL 2023 and I even missed the entire 2023-24 Ranji Trophy due to injury issues. I know I need to work on my fitness and I will work hard to stay fit and help my country win matches with my bowling?.



If Mayank Yadav overcomes his injury issues, he has the potential to become a World Class bowler for the Men in Blue and it remains what the future holds for him.?

T20 World Cup 2024: Mayank Yadav to get picked in India's squad for the World Cup?

t20-world-cup-2024-mayank-yadav-to-get-picked-in-indias-squad-for-the-world-cup

IPL 2024: Mayank Yadav have turned quite a few eyeballs with his bowling efforts in just two matches of the ongoing TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. After impressing one and all against Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, all eyes were on Mayank Yadav to rattle the Gujarat batting lineup on Sunday's evening fixture.



As things turned out, the pacer could only bowl a solitary over, before he walked off the field. The first impressions of it looked concerning as Mayank didn't take the field for any part of the match. 



Later it was reported that the pacer had suffered side strain which hampered his performance in the solitary over he bowled as well. Yadav conceded 13 runs in his first over against Gujarat Titans (GT).



Senior player Krunal Pandya, who had a superb night with the ball in hand, provided an update on Mayank Yadav's injury. Pandya said that the pacer seemed to be okay with whatever he got to know in the brief chat.



"I don't know what is happening, but I had a couple of seconds with him [Mayank Yadav], he seems OK. He is a bright prospect, bowled gun in the nets, last year missed out. Good head on his shoulders and unbelievable prospect and interesting to see how he will pan out in his career," said Krunal Pandya in the post-match conversation.



It's worth noting that Mayank, who is known to bowl in excess of 145 kmph consistently, couldn't cross the 140 kmph mark, last night. 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">LSG defends a low score despite Mayank Yadav's absence</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/LSG-vs-GT-IPl-2024-1024x683.jpg" alt="IPL 2024: Lucknow's 157 KMPH pacer Mayank Yadav INJURED, Krunal Pandya provides update" class="wp-image-132663" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



Meanwhile, despite Mayank Yadav's absence, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) registered their maiden win over Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). LSG defeated GT by 33 runs at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.



For LSG, Krunal Pandya and Yash Thakur remained the chief architects of the victory in the second innings. After putting up a 163-run total, which seemed a sub-par score at the halfway mark, LSG bowlers did manage to flip the table.



Krunal's quota of four overs went quietly with him conceding just 11 runs alongside picking three wickets. He got rid of Sai Sudharsan, Sarath BR and Darshan Nalkade.



Yash Thakur, on the other side, seized the opportunity and returned with a five-for against Gujarat Titans (GT). He was subsequently adjudged as the 'Player of the Match' for his sublime bowling show at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.



Owing to the win, Lucknow moves to the third position in the <a href="https://iplt20.com">IPL</a> Points Table with three wins and just a solitary loss so far in the tournament. They are only behind the likes of Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who are yet to be defeated.



LSG now have a few days breather before they host Delhi Capitals (DC) at their home venue on April 12.

IPL 2024: Lucknow's 157 KMPH pacer Mayank Yadav INJURED, Krunal Pandya provides update

Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu has made quite a few surprise inclusions in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024. The cricketer-turned-commentator included Riyan Parag, veteran Dinesh Karthik and fast bowler Mayank Yadav in the team for the event.&nbsp;



Riyan Parag has been tremendous with the bat in the ongoing<a href="https://www.iplt20.com" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com"> IPL 2024</a> for Rajasthan Royals. The batter is amongst the leading run-getters in the tournament with over 300 runs in the tournament and with the way he has played he has gained a lot of praise from the fans.



On the other hand, Dinesh Karthik has brought out his best with the bat in the league. The keeper-batter has looked in ominous touch and has finished innings on high for his team in the tournament, making his case strong for the World Cup.?

Mayank Yadav, who has played two games in the IPL 2024 so far, has grabbed the eyeball of many. He has been breathing fire with his pace and has consistently clocked 155 kmph with the ball. Therefore many feel that he is be X factor for the team.&nbsp;



Apart from this, Ambati Rayudu didn?t pick Hardik Pandya in his team for the T20 World Cup 2024. The all-rounder has been going through a torrid run of form in the ongoing IPL. He has failed to deliver goods with bat, and ball as well as the leader of Mumbai Indians.&nbsp;



Skipper Rohit Sharma, young Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav are the top four picked by Ambati Rayudu in his T20 World Cup 2024 squad. He also has picked Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja as two all-rounders in the team.&nbsp;



In the bowling department, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are the two spinners picked by him. Whereas Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh will be the three frontline pacers in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024.&nbsp;

T20 World Cup 2024: Pandya dropped, Parag, Karthik, Mayank included as Rayudu names India squad

IND vs ENG 4th T20I: With the scoreline of 2-1, India and England are now going to play the fourth T20I of the series at the MCA Stadium, Pune. There is a lot at stake for England, but India has some breathing space. 
England have lost all three tosses so far and still managed to secure a win while batting first on a batting paradise. Meanwhile, India, who were used to winning series with a clean sweep, have lost one match in the series but can still wrap up the series in their favor today in Pune.
Let's take a look at the squads and strongest Playing11 possible for India and England in the 4th T20I:
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Squads</h2>
England Squad: Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith(w), Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Rehan Ahmed
India Squad: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Dhruv Jurel, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana
<hr>
<h2>Playing11 and Strategies</h2>
INDIA: Rinku Singh has returned to contention after recovering from his injury. On Thursday, India's assistant coach, Ryan ten Doeschate, confirmed that he is fully fit. His extended net session further hinted at his potential inclusion in the playing XI for the upcoming match.  
When it comes to strategy, India relied heavily on spin in the previous game, fielding five spinners—Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, and Abhishek Sharma—alongside just two pacers, Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e34bd1be.jpg" alt="">
However, the pitch in Pune is unlikely to offer much assistance to spinners. With Rinku Singh, a reliable left-handed batter, back in the mix, India could consider making a tactical adjustment by replacing Washington Sundar with an additional pacer, Arshdeep Singh, to strengthen their pace attack.
*India Playing11: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy
ENGLAND: England might go with the same playing11 as in the 3rd T20I. There isn't any solid reason for them to make any changes only if there is a forced one. Jamie Smith(if not available) might get replaced by Jacob Bathell if needed.
*England Playing11: Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (wk), Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith/Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
<hr>
<h2>Pitch Report of Pune's MCA Stadium</h2>
The MCA Stadium in Pune is known for its batting-friendly conditions, making it a prime venue for high-scoring encounters. With short square boundaries and a true surface, batters often enjoy their time in the middle, and big totals are a common sight. If the scores don’t breach the 200-run mark, as was frequently seen in the last IPL, it would likely be due to disciplined bowling rather than any assistance from the pitch.
 <img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679c4dfe0bbbc.jpg" alt="">
Unlike some other venues in India, dew is not a significant factor here, ensuring that both innings are played under fairly consistent conditions. Additionally, the pitch tends to remain firm throughout the game, offering good bounce for stroke play and providing some assistance to pacers who hit the deck hard. With these factors in play, the MCA Stadium is set to witness a thrilling contest filled with raining boundaries and aggressive stroke-making.
<hr>
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Dream11 Team and Fantasy Tips</h2>
Pune's MCA Stadium is a batting paradise, and unless we witness any sort of collapse, it will be a high-scoring game. Anything under 170 would be below-par. We will make our team based on this, and not to mention, there will be a risk factor. 
For Wicketkeeper, Jos Buttler is going to be the first choice for everyone and he is a must-pick player. Sanju Samson is our second pick as he is not much picked, and he is due for a good performance. There couldn't be a better ground other than MCA Stadium for him to get his form back. He is even a choice for captain if you can take extra risks. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b286b99.jpg" alt="">
Tilak Verma is in great form and Ben Duckett is a good player of spin. With not much grip off the surface, these two batters are expected to fire to a good extent. SKY is under the radar and this Pune surface suits him so he is going to be in the team considering of what he can do when is in form. Tilak Verma or Ben Duckett can be another option for the captain and probably the safer option.
There are a lot of options in this section for both teams. Hardik Pandya and Liam Livingstone are two must-pick players and besides them, Overton might prove to be a good option. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67990b84a34e9.jpg" alt="">
Arshdeep Singh, if plays the match, must be in the dream11 team. Replace him with Mohammed Shami if Arshdeep doesn't play. Varun Chakravarthy and Mark Wood would be the two other bowlers. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b59f608.jpg" alt="">
This makes a strong team, more focused on the batting side as the pitch will favor the batters more. The bowling options are those who are most likely going to take wickets on such a surface. 
<h2>Dream11 Team- Grand League</h2>
Wicket-Keeper: Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson(C1) Batters: Surya Kumar Yadav, Den Duckett, Tilak Verma(C2) Allrounders: Hardik Pandya (VC), Liam Livingstone, J Overton Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, V Chakravarthy, Mark Wood

The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

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.
