Pallekele, Sep 4 (Ians) Unbeaten fifties by captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill powered India to the Super Fours stage of the Asia Cup with a 10-wicket thrashing of Nepal in their Group A match at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Monday.

Bridgetown (Barbados), July 30 (Ians) A disciplined bowling effort led by three-fers from Gudakesh Motie (3/36) and Romario Shepherd (3/37), followed by a fine half-century from Shai Hope (63 not out) helped West Indies draw level the three-match series 1-1 with a convincing six-wicket win over India in the second Odi, here on Saturday.
Opener Ishan Kishan (55) struck his second successive half-century but India failed to capitalise on a good start on a difficult pitch that offered variable bounce to be all out for 181 in 40.5 overs.
In reply, West Indies chased down the target in 36.4 overs with six wickets in hand, courtesy of a steady 91 not out stand between Hope and Keacy Carty (48 not out). This was West Indies first Odi win against India in last ten matches
Chasing a small total, Kyle Mayers was off the blocks quickly, driving and flicking India’s new-ball pair of Hardik Pandya and Mukesh Kumar before Brandon King joined in,...

Bridgetown, July 28 (Ians) Spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja combined to take seven wickets between themselves while wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan made his promotion to opening count by top-scoring with 52 as India beat West Indies by five wickets in an one-sided first Odi of the three-match series at Kensington Oval, here on Thursday.
Kuldeep, brought into the attack from 17th over, took 4-6 while Jadeja set the base for the West Indies collapse with 3-37. The duo spun a vicious web of spin wizardry to bowl out West Indies for their second lowest Odi total — 114 in 23 overs — against India.
In reply, Kishan opened the batting, took on the bowlers and hit seven fours and a six in his 46-ball 52 as the visitors’ rejigged their batting order. Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli sat back as everyone else were given a go with the bat.

Right from winning the toss and electing to bowl first on a pitch giving assistance to bowlers, things went all right for India.
Kuldeep, brought into the attack from the 17th over, spun a vicious web to take four wickets for just six runs in three overs to lead the charge in bowling out West Indies for their second lowest Odi total against India.
Jadeja, on the other hand, set the base for the West Indies collapse by picking three wickets for 37 runs. All rounders Hardik Pandya, Shardul Thakur and debutant seamer Mukesh Kumar took a scalp each as fielders took excellent catches in an excellent all-round performance for India.

New Delhi, Jan 25 (Ians) India’s right-arm fast-bowler Mohammed Siraj has become the new number one bowler in the Icc Men’s Odi Player Rankings for bowlers, going past New Zealand’s left-arm seamer Trent Boult and Australia’s fast bowler Josh Hazlewood.
It’s a remarkable rise for Siraj, who only returned to India’s Odi setup in February last year following a three-year hiatus from the format and was even named in Men’s Odi Team of the Year for 2022 on Tuesday. Siraj’s rise to the top is more astonishing considering that he conceded 76 runs on his Odi debut against Australia in Adelaide in January 2019.
Since his Odi comeback, Siraj, 28, has collected 37 wickets from 20 matches to be one of India’s most consistent fast bowlers and earning accolades from the cricketing world over providing crucial strikes with the ball in the first ten overs in the initial...

Indore, Jan 25 (Ians) Shardul Thakur emerged as one of the architects of India’s 90-run victory over New Zealand to take the series 3-0, contributing with both bat and ball in the match played at Holkar Stadium here.
Despite Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill making centuries, India were in danger of being shot for a score below 375 as New Zealand clawed their way back. Thakur produced three fours and a six in his 17-ball 25 to propel India to 385.
With the ball, Thakur didn’t have a smooth start as Devon Conway and Henry Nicholls attacked him in Power-play as New Zealand raced to 184/2 at the halfway mark. When Thakur came back, he derailed New Zealand’s chase by bouncing out Daryl Mitchell and then had captain Tom Latham chipping a knuckleball, which was a full toss, straight to mid-off.
Though he struck twice in two balls, Thakur ended the over by giving away two boundaries,...

Dhaka, Dec 4 (Ians) Shakib Al Hasan starred with a sensational fifer while Mehidy Hasan Miraz held his nerve to slam an unbeaten cameo and guide Bangladesh to a famous one-wicket victory over India in a low-scoring thriller of the Odi series opener at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (Sbncs) in Mirpur on Sunday.
In a match that ebbed and flowed, Bangladesh seemed to be on their way to chasing 187 after Shakib’s 5-36 and Ebadot Hossain’s 4-47 bowled India for a paltry 186 in 41.2 overs. But the Indian bowlers, led by Mohammed Siraj and Washington Sundar, triggered a Bangladesh collapse from 128/4 to 136/9 in a span of 26 balls.
With the hosts looking down and out, the result seemed like a foregone conclusion. But Mehidy, mostly farming the strike, had other ideas — slicing short balls from debutant Kuldeep Sen over the third man for a brace of sixes in the 41st over.

Since 2020, the duo, currently the fourth-most successful pair in ODIs, have batted together for only nine innings, amassing 417 runs at an average of 52.12, including two hundred-plus and as many fifty-plus stands respectively.
But their power-play strike rates have yielded diminishing returns. While Rohit’s strike-rate in this phase of ODIs since 2020 has been 94.3, Dhawan’s strike-rate stands at just 74.1. With India gearing up for Odi World Cup 2023, former wicketkeeper-batter Saba Karim opined either Rohit or Dhawan has to go big in power-play to give the side a great start.
