Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians got Australia all-rounder Cameron Green for Inr 17.5 crores after a fierce battle with Delhi Capitals, making him the second most expensive player in the history of the tournament.

New Delhi, Aug 25 (Ians) Former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris is of the opinion that breaking Pakistan’s opening partnership and forcing their middle order to do which they won’t be wishing to do will be the key for India to upstage their arch-rivals in the marquee clash on August 28.
Sunday’s clash at Dubai will see the resumption of ‘greatest rivalry’ in the world of cricket when India and Pakistan open their Asia Cup Group A campaign. This will also be the first meeting between these two teams after facing off in the Men’s T20 World Cup last year in the UAE, where Pakistan secured a resounding ten-wicket victory over India, their first such victory in Men’s World Cups.

New Delhi, Aug 25 (Ians) Former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris believes India have the ability to impose and win over every team in the upcoming Asia Cup, including arch-rivals Pakistan.
The 2022 Asia Cup, in 20-over format, will see India entering the competition as defending champions, having won the competition in the 50-over format in 2018 in the UAE as well as in the T20I format in 2016 in Bangladesh.
Styris pointed out that not imposing themselves in the start of Men’s T20 World Cup last year was something which costed India matches against Pakistan and New Zealand. “Well, as we know, India has a very strong T20 league as well. I think it’s the ability to come together and play the style and brand of cricket that best suits your players.”
“I thought that was the big trick that India missed at the last T20 World Cup as it took them about two games.

New Delhi, Aug 24 (Ians) Former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris said he is expecting Kl Rahul to be ready to tee off against Pakistan in the much-anticipated Asia Cup match on August 28 after spending time at the crease during the Odi series against Zimbabwe.
In the series against Zimbabwe, where he was named stand-in captain at the last moment, Rahul didn’t get to bat in the first match. But he got to bat in the next two matches, as he promoted himself to open the batting alongside Shikhar Dhawan, making 1 and 30 respectively.
The ODIs against Zimbabwe also marked his comeback to competitive cricketing action after a long period on the sidelines. After featuring in Ipl 2022, where he took Lucknow Super Giants to the playoffs, Rahul was scheduled to captain India in the home T20Is against South Africa in June.
But he was ruled out of the series, owing to a groin injury.

New Delhi, Aug 24 (Ians) Former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris believes young right-handed batter Shubman Gill may have to bide his time for some period before becoming the first-choice opener. He added that if Gill isn’t slotted in as the opener in India’s Odi side, number three could be a potential spot for him.
After making a comeback to the Odi fold in almost two years, Gill has been impressive in India’s 50-overs series against the West Indies and more recently Zimbabwe, making 450 runs while averaging 112.50 and at a strike-rate of 111.66.
Apart from three half-centuries, including an unbeaten 98 in Port of Spain, Gill dazzled by signing off from Zimbabwe with his first Odi ton, a brilliant 130, to get India back-to-back 3-0 series triumph. In series against West Indies and Zimbabwe, Gill took Player of the Series awards too.

New Delhi, Aug 23 (Ians) Former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris feels that with the current form Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is in right now, bowlers will have to bowl a special delivery to get him dismissed. Azam is currently the only batter to be in the top three rankings of all international formats.
A prolific white-ball cricket run-scorer, he will be seen in action during the upcoming Asia Cup, where Pakistan will face arch-rivals India on August 28 in Dubai.
He was one of the main architects in Pakistan’s 10-wicket thrashing of India in the T20 World Cup last year, where he was unbeaten for a 52-ball 68, hitting six fours and two sixes, in the 152-run chase alongside opening partner, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, who made 79 not out.

Mumbai, Aug 19 (Ians) Former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris said he would love to see One-day internationals (ODIs) still retain their meaning in the cricketing world outside of the World Cups.
The growth of franchise T20 leagues has raised doubts over the future of 50-over game, especially after England Test captain Ben Stokes retired from the format citing unsustainable schedule.
“Yeah, that’s a tough one. This one I haven’t really worked out in my head and the reason for that is I really enjoyed one-day cricket. I felt it was a mixture of power which I like in terms of cricket. I think that just allows itself to fit in with other sports around the world.”
“Power, speed, you know, strength all of those things, stamina, agility, all of that kicks in as well as the traditional cricket where there’s the rotation of the strike,” said Styris...

New Delhi, Dec 9 (Ians) Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria believes Suryakumar Yadav will not leave India to play for a different country because of the support he gets from his Indian Premier League (Ipl) franchise and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (Bcci) whereas Pakistan continues losing talents like Sami Aslam to other countries because of lack of support from the Pakistan Cricket Board (Pcb).
Aslam, who played 13 Tests and four ODIs for Pakistan, recently quit Pakistan cricket and has decided to play in the Major League Cricket in the US.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Kaneria said he thinks Aslam has taken the right decision to move to US.
"He (Sami Aslam) was a consistent player. There's been injustice done with him. He never got the chances that people like Shan Masood, Imam-ul-Haq did," Kaneria said.

Abu Dhabi, Nov 6 (Ians) SunRisers Hyderabad (Srh) skipper David Warners dismissal on review during the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) stoked controversy on Friday with some former cricketers, serving as commentators and experts on TV lashing out at the decision.
A Mohammed Siraj delivery cut sharply in to Warner and went to the wicketkeeper Ab de Villiers. On the way, the ball looked to have touched something, either the glove or his trousers. But it was not clear.
While the on-field umpire S Ravi gave it not out, third umpire Virender Sharma gave it out after looking at multiple replays. Umpiring norms suggest that the benefit of the doubt is to be given to the batsman.
Commentator Pomie Mbangwa immediately criticised the decision saying it should have been not out.
"Since the evidence was not conclusive and the on-field decision was not out, it should not have been given out,...

Dubai, Nov 4 (Ians) Leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has been one of the reasons why Royal Challengers Bangalore have come out with a much-improved performance compared to other Indian Premier League (Ipl) seasons and have been able to seal a spot in the playoffs in the ongoing tournament.
Chahal has picked 20 wickets in 14 matches for Rcb this season and is currently in top-five in the list of leading wicket-takers this Ipl.
According to former New Zealand batsman Scott Styris, Chahal has deployed a couple of changes to his bowling style and has adjusted well to the conditions on offer in the United Arab Emirates which in turn has helped him scalp wickets at crucial junctures of the game for Rcb.
"Let's take a look first and foremost at where Chahal is picking up his wickets in 2020 and the lengths. There's a lot of them, 12 of them on the fuller side, only five at good length,...

Dubai, Oct 29 (Ians) Former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris jokingly suggested that Suryakumar Yadav can move to New Zealand in case he wants to play international cricket.
The national selectors' snub to Yadav while picking the Indian team for next month's Australia tour has been met with widespread criticism. And that has only grown louder after his match-winning 79 not out for Mumbai Indians against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday.
"I wonder if Suryakumar Yadav fancies playing International cricket he might move overseas #CoughNZCough," Styris tweeted after the match.
Yadav's knock helped Mi take a two-point lead at the top of the Ipl table and virtually seal a place in the playoffs. He has scored a total of 362 runs so far, making him the second highest run scorer for Mi after opener Quinton de Kock.
India coach Ravi Shastri in a tweet advised Yadav to remain "patient" while praising him for his knock on Wednesday.
