<p><strong>PAK vs AUS:</strong> Pakistan and Australia faced each other in the 10th warm-up match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 where Australia thrashed Pakistan by 16 runs. A perfect practice game for both teams as they got eyes on their own weaknesses and strengths in subcontinental conditions. This post reads the scores of Pakistan Batters in The PAK vs AUS Warm-up Match of World Cup 2023.</p>

<p>Australia won the toss and the obvious choice was to bat first. Australian batters thoroughly outplayed Pakistani bowlers in the first 23 overs. At first, Warner started the fireworks, scoring 48 off 33 including 4 fours, and 3 sixes. Mitch Marsh was playing out of his zone as he scored slow 31 runs off 48 balls. </p>



<p>Smith, Marsh, and Carey got off to a good start but couldn't convert it into a big score. Good 77 runs off Glenn Maxwell's bat must have boosted his and the team's confidence in him. Knocking 50 and 48 by Green and Inglis led Australia to a big total of 351 in their 50 overs. Haris Rauf was the most expensive bowler from Pakistan eating up more than 10 runs per over in his 9 overs.</p>



<p>Pakistan started the chase with 7 runs per over but Pakistan's top order didn't add much. Fakhar, Imam, and Abdullah, all got good starts on a decent batting surface but were unable to utilize it. Australia were in the driving seat when Labuschagne took down Shadab. Pakistan were 83 for 4 down at that stage.</p>



<p>Iftikhar and Babar then combined together to build a 144-run stand for the fifth wicket. Iftikhar's 83 off 85 and Babar Azam's quick 90 off 59 handled the situation and headed their team to cement a win in a warm-up match. It all went in vain when the lower order failed completely except for Nawaz (50). </p>



<p>Marnus Labuschagne was exceptional with the ball in his hands as he took 3 scalps in the middle. Pakistan were bundled out at 337 runs; 14 runs off the target and lost the 2nd warm-up match.</p>

PAK vs AUS: Scores of Pakistan Batters in The Warm-up Match against Australia | World Cup 2023

<p><strong>PAK vs AUS:</strong> Babar Azam-led Pakistan will lock horns against Pat Cummins-led Australia in the 18th match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore. Pakistan ate a humiliating loss in their last outing against India and now it is time for them to hit with a strong comeback against Australia on 20 October. In this post, we discuss Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 against Australia and Key Players To Watch Out For PAK vs AUS.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-aus-pakistans-strongest-playing-11-analysis">PAK vs AUS: Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 Analysis</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-aus-pakistans-playing-11">PAK vs AUS: Pakistan's Playing 11</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-aus-key-players-to-watch-out">PAK vs AUS Key Players to Watch Out</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Australia was one of the top contenders for the title this year as per cricket enthusiasts and pundits but they had a terrible start to their World Cup 2023 campaign. Australia straight lost the first two games and were on the back foot at the very beginning of the tournament. First, they lost to India by 6 wickets on a batting surface. Then South Africa crushed them by 134 runs again on a batting surface. Cummins and co. won their last match against Sri Lanka but there were also not-so-convincing performances by the Aussies. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/pak-vs-AUS-1-1.jpg" alt="PAK vs AUS: Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 against Australia and Key Players To Watch Out For Pakistan vs Australia ODI World Cup 2023" class="wp-image-120566" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">PAK vs AUS: World Cup 2023</figcaption></figure>



<p>Pakistan were looking strong and quite stable team a week ago but the Match against India on 14 October exposed their batting depth. Weak opening strategies, an out-of-form middle order, and a vulnerable bowling line-up that fumbles if they start leaking runs. Pakistan have some issues they need to deal with. And Pakistan have shown that have that potential to turn thing around when they are under pressure.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-aus-pakistans-strongest-playing-11-analysis"><strong>PAK vs AUS: Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 Analysis</strong></h2>



<p>Abdullah Shafique has provided stability at the top when the second partner Imam is running out of form. He smashed an excellent century against Sri Lanka and led his team to a second win in this edition of the World Cup. Babar showed a strong character against India after a string of poor scores.</p>



<p>Rizwan has been the backbone of Pakistan in the middle and undoubtedly has been the best Pakistani batter to understand and adapt to the Indian condition. He is the highest run scorer for Pakistan in this campaign.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Mohammad-Rizwan-1.jpg" alt="Mohammad Rizwan" class="wp-image-120924" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Mohammad Rizwan (image source - Twitter)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Pakistan's top-order have to score high runs and prolong their innings if they want to win against Australia. Despite a strong start against India, they fell short there. Fakhar would have been an option to replace Imam but Zaman still remains unavailable for another week while Agha Salman is recovering from an illness.</p>



<p>Saud Shakeel has been impressive in the past but he looks off-color in this tournament and unfortunately, Pakistan doesn't have that many options on the bench. Ifthikar is an explosive batsman but not a reliable one. He is not a promising finisher that Pakistan should have on a stage like the World Cup.</p>



<p>Shadab Khan will be there in the team working as a leg-spinning allrounder and he also provides a safe hand to the fielding. Now, Usama Mir replacing Mohammad Nawaz as Pakistan's leg-spinner is the only change that appears plausible. Nawaz has not been too efficient, whereas Mir impressed against the Australians in Hyderabad during the warm-up game.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-aus-pakistans-playing-11"><strong>PAK vs AUS: Pakistan's Playing 11</strong></h2>



<p>Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Usama Mir, Hassan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf</p>



<p><strong>Full Pakistan?Squad:</strong> Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(w), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Agha Salman, Fakhar Zaman, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jr</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-aus-key-players-to-watch-out"><strong>PAK vs AUS Key Players to Watch Out</strong></h2>



<p>Australia will be looking for big players to stand up and take charge. Smith and Warner haven't really stood up to their brand of cricket and they are likely to do so today. While, for Pakistan, expect a big fifty from Babar or Rizwan. Rauf can be a useful bowler in the middle.</p>

PAK vs AUS: Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 against Australia and Key Players To Watch Out For Pakistan vs Australia ODI World Cup 2023

pak-vs-aus-pakistans-strongest-playing-11-against-australia-and-key-players-to-watch-out-for-pakistan-vs-australia-odi-world-cup-2023

<p><strong>ICC ODI World Cup 2023: Players with Most Runs and Most Wickets:</strong> After a dominating victory over Pakistan by 62 runs, Australia are back on the winning track. Warner-Marsh's record 259 runs opening stand set the tone and Adam Zampa ensured that the job was done. With his marvelous innings, David Warner has made his entry into the top 10 run scorers in the World Cup 2023. This post reads the Players with the most runs and most wickets so far in the World Cup 2023.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#most-runs-icc-odi-world-cup-2023-player-ranking-1-10">Most Runs: ICC ODI World Cup 2023 ?

<p>Pakistan won the toss and took a good decision to bowl first at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore. With the tight line and movement in the air, Shaheen forced Warner to play ball in the air but Usama Mir dropped the simplest of the catches. Haris Rauf went for 24 runs in his first over and 47 in 3 and that's where the problem started to build for Pakistan.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Warner-Marsh.jpg" alt="ICC ODI World Cup 2023: Players with Most Runs and Most Wickets So Far in World Cup 2023| Player Ranking 1 ? 10" class="wp-image-121605" style="aspect-ratio:1.3722126929674099;width:1021px;height:auto" /></figure>



<p>Marsh and Warner played at a similar pace of over 100 strike rate and put forth a record 259 runs opening stand in just 33 overs where both completed their centuries. Warner was ruthless against Rauf, scoring 163 off 124, and helped lead his team to a big total of 367. Australia's middle order and tail were cut down for short by Shaheen Afridi who took a fifer.</p>



<p>Pakistan offered a 134-run opening stand in response where Abdullah Shafique(64) and Imam-ul-Haq(71) gave them a near-perfect start. But similar to the past few outings, Babar Azam failed again, and his poor run continues. Rizwan offered a bit of resistance but it was never going to be enough against that lethal bowling performance. All just went in vain and Australia won the match by 62 runs.</p>



<p>Below are the complete details of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023: Players with Most Runs and Most Wickets So Far in World Cup 2023| Player Ranking 1 ? 10.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="most-runs-icc-odi-world-cup-2023-player-ranking-1-10"><strong>Most Runs: ICC ODI World Cup 2023 ? Player Ranking 1-10</strong></h2>



<p>Mohammad Rizwan was the only hope of the Pakistan team towards the end. He scored 46 runs but couldn't lead his team to a win. His 40 balls 46 took him to the top of the most run scorer's tally. He has scored 294 runs in the 4 innings in this World Cup with an average of 98. Following him are the two Indian top players- Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. </p>



<p>Following his 163-run stand against Pakistan, David Warner has entered the top 10 of the most runs list. He got some good starts in some previous outings as well but wasn't able to utilize them but he did it yesterday. He sits 6th with 228 runs in his kitty with an average of 57.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Pakistan-2.jpg" alt="Pakistan Team" class="wp-image-121637" /></figure>



<p>Abdullah Shafique had a not-so-convincing day against India but scored against the other two opponents. He also joins the top-10 most runs tally with 197 runs in 3 matches. Apart from him and Rizwan, none of the Pakistani players are even under the top 20 and that tells the story itself.</p>



<p>Rohit Sharma entered the top run-scorers list after his 131 against Afghanistan and he is number 2 with a batting average of 66.25. Chase Master Virat Kohli is third there in the list with a total of 259 runs in 4 innings with an average of 129.50.</p>

<p>Mitchell Santner is the top wicket-taker after the 4 matches of the World Cup 2023 with 11 wickets. Jasprit Bumrah is ranked second with 10 wickets. Shaheen Afridi took a giant leap with his fifer against Australia and sets his 4th place in the tally.</p>



<p>Zampa's 4 wickets in the last match have put him 5th in the most wicket-takers list. He equals Shaheen Afridi in terms of Wickets(9) but has been more expensive so ranked lower. Haris Rauf also took 3 wickets despite being too much expensive.</p>

<p><strong>Pakistan Tour Of Australia 2023:</strong> After some major shuffles in the team's leadership and PCB council members, Pakistan's first outing after the World Cup 2023 is scheduled for Australia. Pakistan will be touring Australia for three test matches which will be played from December 14 to January 7. Here we are with the Pakistan Tour Of Australia 2023 Schedule, Full Squads, Venues, Timings and All You Need To Know.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Jump To:</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pakistan-tour-of-australia-2023-schedule">Pakistan Tour Of Australia 2023 Schedule</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pakistan-tour-of-australia-2023-squads">Pakistan Tour Of Australia 2023 Squads</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Following Pakistan's dismal World Cup 2023 campaign, Babar Azam announced his resignation as captain of all three forms, which dealt a severe blow to Pakistani cricket. Shan Masood was named the Test team captain shortly after, and Shaheen Shah Afridi assumed leadership of the Twenty20 team. Pakistan has not yet named a captain for the One-Day International team.</p>

<p>In their twelve tours to Australia, Pakistan has never emerged victorious in a Test series, and they have lost their previous fourteen five-day matches in a row in Australia. Since 1995, Pakistan has not prevailed in an Australian Test match. With newfound optimism, the Asian team is traveling to Australia for a three-match Test series that runs from December 14 to January 7.</p>



<p>Pakistan began their World Test Championship 2023-25 campaign with a resounding 2-0 win over Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka earlier this year. With their 100% winning track in this new WTC cycle, they are also the table topper of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 Points table.</p>

<p>Pat Cummins-led Australia defeated Mohammad Rizwan's Pakistan by a margin of two wickets in an action-packed first One-Day International of the three-match series on Monday, 4th of November at Cricket Ground of Melbourne. Aussie skipper Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steven Smith and wicketkeeper batsman Josh Inglis played an important role for the home side as they took a 1-0 lead in the series by winning in the low-scoring thriller.</p>



<p> Pakistani seamer Haris Rauf was good with the ball for the visitors but the Shaheens were not able to put a high score on the board as the Mighty Australians chased down the target of 204 runs with two wickets to spare.</p>



<p>Having opted to field first after winning the toss on a tricky Melbourne wicket, Starc made an immediate impact as he dismissed opening batter Saim Ayub (1 run in 5 balls) in the 3rd over of the Pakistani inning. The left arm Aussie seamer carried on with his dominance as he struck again with the ball, dismissing the other opening batter Abdullah Shafique (12 runs in 26 balls) in the 7th over.</p>



<p>With the Shaheens sitting at a score of 24-2, experienced batter Babar Azam tried his best to turn things in favor of his team by playing a decent knock of 37 runs but he too was sent back to the dugout by leg spinner Adam Zampa.</p>

<p>The Green Shirts' newly appointed skipper Mohammad Rizwan steadied the sinking ship of the tourists by playing a knock of 44 runs as his team finished their inning for a score of 203 runs in 46.4 overs as they got bundled our by the rampant bowling effort of the Aussies.<br>Mitchell Starc ended the match with figueres of 3-33 next to his name while the duo of Zampa &amp; Cummins scalped two wickets a piece.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Skipper Pat Cummins helps his team secure the win with the help of a crucial 32-Run inning</strong></h2>



<p>Chasing a modest score of 204 runs, the home side started the chase on a poor note as they lost the opening duo of Jake Fraser-Mcgurk and Matthew Short on an early note. However, Josh Inglis and experienced batsman Steven Smith stitched an important partnership of 85 runs for the 3rd wicket before the former threw his wicket away to right arm fast bowler Haris Rauf on a score of 44 runs with the Kangaroos getting reduced to a score of 113-3.</p>



<p>Middle order batsman Marnus Labuschagne gave company to Inglis in the middle as they tried to get involved in a big partnership but Josh was dismissed after scoring 49 runs.Following the dismissal of Inglis, the Australians experienced a batting-collapse as the trip of Glenn Maxwell, Labuschagne and Aaron Hardie all gave their wickets away in quick-succession and the Pat Cummins-led team found themselves struggling at a score of 155-7.</p>

<p><strong>Pakistan: </strong>The last match of the three-match One-Day International series between Australia and Pakistan was played in Perth on 10 November (Sunday). In this match, Pakistan won by 8 wickets over hosts Australia. In the match, the Green Shirts got a target of 141 runs to win, which it achieved in just 26.5 overs. With this victory, the Shaheens under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan won the three-match ODI series 2-1. The Kangaroos had won the first match of the series by a margin of 2 wickets, while the Pakistani team won the second match by 9 wickets.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pakistan's 22 year wait is over</strong></h2>



<p>If we look at it, Pakistan team has defeated Australia in a bilateral ODI series at their home after 22 years. Earlier in 2002, under the captaincy of Waqar Younus, the Green Shirts had defeated the Aussies 2-1 in an ODI series at their home. This means that Pakistan's victory is quite historic. Fast bowler Haris Rauf was selected as 'Man-of-the-Match' and 'Man-of-the-Series'.</p>



<p>Chasing the target in this match, the Mohammad Rizwan-led outfit got off to a great start. The opening duo of Abdullah Shafiq and Saim Ayub together got involved in a partnership of 84 runs for the opening wicket, which made the job easy for Pakistan. Shafiq scored 37 runs in 53 balls with the help of 1 four and a six. Ayub scored 42 runs in 52 balls, which included 4 fours and a maximum.</p>

<p>Later, the duo of Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafiq were run out by pacer Lance Morris. From here, Babar Azam and skipper Mohammad Rizwan joined hands in the middle and they stitched an unbeaten partnership of 58 runs to take Pakistan to the doorstep of victory. Babar contributed 30 runs in 28 balls with the help of four fours. While Rizwan scored an unbeaten 30 runs. Rizwan hit two maximums and a four in his 27-ball inning.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Kangaroos swept away by the storm of the trio of Shaheen-Naseeem-Rauf</strong></h2>



<p>Earlier, Australia, who lost the toss and came to bat first, were bundled out for an embarrassing score of 140 runs in 31.5 overs. Sean Abbott top scored with a knock of 30 runs in 41 balls for Australia, which included 2 fours and a six. Opening batsman Matthew Short scored 22 runs. Apart from this, only Adam Zampa (13 runs), Aaron Hardy (12 runs) and Spencer Johnson (11* runs) could reach double figures. The duo of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah took three wickets a piece for the visitors while Haris Rauf dismissed 2 batters and Mohammad Hasnain got one wicket.</p>

PAK vs AUS: Pakistan script history as they clinch the ODI series 2-1 for the 1st time in 22 years in Australia, win the 3rd ODI by 8-wickets

<p>Pakistan Cricket Team's elite left arm seamer Shaheen Shah Afridi on Wednesday, 13th of November, rose to the number one position of ICC's Men's One Day International (ODI) Bowling Rankings.</p>



<p>Afridi, who dismissed eight batters at a superb average of 12.62 in the Green Shirts' historic One Day International series victory over the Mighty Australians, made a jump of three spots from the 4th position to replace South Africa's slow left arm orthodox spinner Keshav Maharaj at the top of the rankings.</p>



<p>Maharaj has dropped by two places to the third place while Afghanistan's elite leg spinner Rashid Khan continues to hold the second place.</p>



<p>Shaheen has previously held the number one position in the past as well as he was sitting at the top of the bowling chart during the 2023 ODI Men's World Cup in India.</p>



<p>His fellow compatriot and bowling-partner Haris Rauf, who was adjudged as the Man-of-the-Series in Pakistan's 2-1 series victory over the Kangaroos, has seen improvements in his ODI ranking too, making a jump of 14 spots to the 13 position and this rank is his career's highest one in the 50 over format.</p>



<p>Naseem Shah's ranking saw improments as well, as he moved by 14 places to a joint 55th position.<br>Following the rise of Shaheen to the top of the rankings, Pakistan's dominance has increased as both the batting &amp; bowling rankings are held by players of the Shaheens, with Babar Azam carrying on with his dominance at the top of the ODI batting rankings.</p>



<p>The 29-year-old increased his lead at the summit of the rankings from Indian Cricket Team's Trio of Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, thanks to the 80 runs he scored across the three ODI fixtures versus Australia, in which he got out on just a single occasion.</p>



<p>Mohammad Rizwan, the newly-appointed limited overs skipper of Pakistan, has also made gains in the ODI Rankings, jumping by 2 places to a joint 23rd position following the 74 runs he scored in three matches against the Aussies.</p>



<p>On the other hand, Afghanistan Cricket Team's premier spin bowling all-round Mohammad Nabi, who is set to retire from the 50-over format following the conclusion of the 2025 Champions Trophy, continues to dominate the ODI All-Rounder's rankings. The veteran is followed by Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe and fellow teammate Rashid Khan in the ranking chart.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a T20 league operated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Inaugurated back in 2007, the tournament is one of the biggest and the wealthiest among franchise-level cricket tournaments. It is a double-round-robin tournament comprising 10 teams representing either states or cities of India.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The IPL is widely regarded as one of the greatest platforms for emerging players, whether from India or other countries around the world. Scouting several big, talented players, the league has seen many promising players enter the role of skipper. </span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Here’s a list of the five youngest captains in IPL history:</span></h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>1: Virat Kohli (22 years 4 months and 6 days)</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Former Indian captain Virat Kohli is the youngest-ever captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He stepped in as the captain for RCB in 2011, replacing injured Daniel Vettori for three games. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As the captain, Kohli’s leadership was marked by his intense commitment to fitness, work ethic, and aggressive approach to the game. In </span><span>2021</span><span>, Kohli decided to step down as RCB’s captain after the IPL season, citing the need for a new phase in his career. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>2: Steve Smith (22 years 11 months and 9 days)</span><span></span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6791a78be3f89.jpg" alt="" width="783" height="487"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Steve Smith took the Pune Warriors India captaincy from Sourav Ganguly (Image Credit: gettyimages)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Australian legendary batter Steve Smith, one of the most accomplished cricketers of the current generation, is next on our list of the youngest IPL captains. He turned in as the stand-in captain for Pune Warriors India, replacing veteran Indian skipper <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sourav_Ganguly"><strong>Sourav Ganguly</strong></a>, who rested himself in 2011. Despite his young age, his calmness and perseverance in decision-making on the field set him apart, particularly in high-pressure situations.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Steve Smith also turned the captain for Australia in several matches of the 2015 World Cup, as he led them to wins on multiple occasions. Smith also led Australia in the 2019 Cricket World Cup as well as the 2017 Champions Trophy. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>3: Shreyas Iyer (23 years 3 months and 21 days)</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer stepped into the captaincy role after Gautam Gambhir stepped down from the post-midseason in 2018. Under his leadership, DC underwent a remarkable transformation, rising from the lower ranks of the tournament to become one of the most competitive teams.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Having started his leadership role in 2018, he went on to be a superstar with the Kolkata Knight Riders, this time not replacing but reuniting with Gautam Gambhir as captain and mentor. Iyer won the IPL title as the skipper with the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2024. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>4: Suresh Raina (23 years 3 months and 22 days)</span><span></span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6791a7909eb8f.jpg" alt="" width="775" height="482"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Former Indian batting all-rounder Suresh Raina led his favourite franchise, Chennai Super Kings, in MS Dhoni’s absence in the year 2008. Raina was largely known for his upfront skills with the bat as well as his electrifying efforts on the field. However, relatively young Raina captained the likes of great Matthew Hayden, Michael Hussey, and Muralitharan with immense motivation and contributed to CSK’s growing competitive edge as they made it to the finals in the inaugural season. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>5: Rishabh Pant (23 years 6 months and 6 days)</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant was named the captain of Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in the 2021 season after the former skipper Shreyas Iyer was ruled out of the season owing to injury. Despite being new to a leadership role, Pant stepped up with sheer confidence and showed great maturity on the field. Pant’s natural energy and unique stance on the field helped the team get back their morale, though owing to some unforeseen situations Pant doesn’t have a very impressive record as a skipper.</span></p>

Here is a list of the youngest among the IPL captains.

Scouting several big, talented players, the league has seen many promising players enter the role of skipper at a very young age, as they went on to lead several senior players under their leadership.

IPL, in its history, has seen several legendary young players who have stepped in as captains of their franchise. Here is a list of the youngest among the IPL captains.

Five youngest captains in IPL history ft. Rishabh Pant

<p>Elite Indian All-Rounder Hardik Pandya was once considered as the front runner to become the next captain of Team India. He was leading the team in T20 Internationals in the absence of Rohit Sharma who was busy preparing for tha 2023 ODI World Cup. Many thought that Junior Pandya will replace Rohit as the captain in limited overs formats. </p>
<p>However, ever since Gautam Gambhir was appointed as the new head coach of the Men in Blue, things have gone all wrong for Pandya. Suryakumar Yadav was given the T20 captaincy duties, which was a complete gamble. Moreover, the 31-year-old was not even considered for the role of the vice-captain. </p>
<p>He was the Vice-captain in the T20 World Cup of 2024 but, he was stripped off that role too. The Mumbai Indians skipper was not even considered for the role of the Vice-captain in the five-match T20 International series versus England. Instead, spin bowling all-rounder Axar Patel became the vice-captain of the team.The Men in Blue didn't appoint a deputy in the T20 International series versus South Africa and Bangladesh. </p>
<p>Nobody has a clear answer to the question of why Pandya was not considered for the Vice-captaincy role. Former Indian Wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik also has no idea about it and he said, <strong>"</strong><strong>I really don't know. I don't have a clue about why he was removed from the Vice-captaincy position. I don't see any reason. He (Hardik) has done well and he has also proven himself to be a good leader."</strong></p>
<h2><strong>Hardik Pandya's record as the captain of Team India</strong></h2>
<p>Under the leadership of Hardik, the Indian Team have taken part in 16 T20 International matches, securing wins in 11 matches out of those 16 contests. Out of four T20 International series, Hardik helped the Indian team win three. </p>
<h3><strong>What's the reason behind Hardik's removal as the captain of Team India? </strong></h3>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c540e2f01.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p></p>
<p>players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
