Umran Malik, the sensational pacer from Jammu who represented Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2022 has certainly grabbed everybody’s attention because of his fiery bowling which has also helped him in getting the national call in the ongoing 5-match T20I series against South Africa. Though he didn’t play in the first match of the series, his fans are quite sure that he will definitely get a chance to play in this series.

Umran Malik bowled at the speed of around 150km/hr in the IPL 2022 and the second fastest delivery of the tournament (156.9 km/h) is also registered in his name, the pacer took 22 wickets but his economy rate is a matter of concern for the team management.

Recently, the former Indian cricketer Kapil Dev talked about Umran Malik on a YouTube channel. He states that he is happy with Umran Malik’s selection but it will be quite early to say anything about him and he should be given minimum 2-3 years at the international level.

Kapil Dev adds that many times we praise a player highly but just after one year, he gets disappeared despite the fact that there is no dearth of talent. Kapil Dev further says that he is sure Umran Malik doesn’t lack anything but he needs to stay in a good environment and keep on doing the hard work. Kapil also emphasizes on the need of developing a good mindset as well as talking to good bowlers and watching footages of their bowling.

Kapil Dev under whose leadership India won the first ODI World Cup in 1983 goes on to say that he has seen bowlers who bowl fast but they are not able to take wickets, however the good thing about Umran Malik is that he does both, bowls fast and takes wickets too and this may be the reason because of which the 22 years old player has got a call for the national duty so early. According to Kapil Dev, the IPL has certainly played an important role in opening the doors of the national team for young players but they need to get 2-3 years at international level.

Kapil Dev also expresses concerns regarding the economy rate of Umran Malik and states that his economy rate should be around 6-7, not 9 especially if he is bowling around 150km/h. The former Indian skipper adds that the youngster needs to improve, try different variety of balls and make attempts to read the mind of the batter as well but all this will take time and his economy rate will definitely come down.

Umran Malik should listen to Kapil Dev’s words of wisdom and follow his suggestions to have a great cricketing career!

Babar Azam, the Pakistani cricket team skipper, is undoubtedly one of the best batters of the present times and currently he is in sublime form but he made headlines for all the wrong reasons after he broke a rule of the game in the second match of the 3-match series against West Indies.

Pakistan has taken an invincible lead of 2-0 in the 3-match ODI series after defeating West Indies in the second ODI which was played yesterday at Multan. However, this match will also be remembered for a mistake which was committed by the Pak captain and because of which the visitors were awarded with 5 runs.

In the 29^th over of the WI innings, Babar Azam was seen with one of the wicket-keeping gloves of Mohammed Rizwan and used it to collect the ball. This was considered as illegal by the on-field umpire and five runs were added in the total of West Indies.

As per the Law 28.1, “No fielder other than the wicket-keeper shall be permitted to wear gloves or external leg guards. In addition, protection for the hand or fingers may be worn only with the consent of the umpires.”

As far as the match is concerned, the hosts won the toss and they chose to bat first. Pakistan put up a good total of 275/8 runs on the score board with the help of brilliant knocks of Imam-ul-Haq (72 runs, 72 balls, 6 fours) and Babar Azam (77 runs, 93 balls, 5 fours & 1 six). The West Indian batting collapsed completely against the Pakistani bowlers as they managed to score only 155/10 runs in 32.2 overs and lost the match by 120 runs. Mohammad Nawaz was the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan as he took 4 wickets in his 10 overs and gave away only 19 runs.

The third ODI will be played tomorrow at the same venue and while Pakistan will try its level best to clean sweep the series, West Indies will certainly wish to end the series with a win and save some respect.

The scuffle between the Bollywood actor Govinda and his nephew Krushna Abhishek has been going on for quite long now and a lot has been heard and said in this regard from both the sides. While Krushna has spoken about the matter and even asked for forgiveness from his ChiChi mama on various platforms, Sunita Ahuja (Govinda’s wife) and Kashmera Shah (Krushna’s wife) leave no chance of taking a dig at each other whether it is on a social media platform or in any interview.

Recently, Govinda also opened up on this matter as he appeared on the talk show of Maniesh Paul and he not only presented his side of the story but also called Krushna Abhishek a liar. Govinda felt insulted as well because Krushna had made a comment in which he called Govinda a villain. However, Govinda also said that the writers might not have written his statements in a right manner. The actor stated that his nephew may have assumed and presumed that something wrong is happening in his life because of the “Partner” actor.

When Maniesh Paul told Govinda that Krushna Abhishek was really sorry when he came on his show, Govinda said that this should be seen off-camera as well. Govinda states that Krushna is a well groomed and nurtured boy but he needs to understand that there is a limit to be used by writers. Govinda also expresses surprise over the fact that Krushna Abhishek is asking for forgiveness on TV shows but he is not getting in touch with him directly.

Earlier, Krushna Abhishek stated in the show that Govinda didn’t even come to hospital to meet his newborns and in response, Govinda called Krushna a liar and said that he visited the hospital four times but he was not allowed to meet the newborns and at that time, he thought that it was some kind of safety procedure which was being followed by the hospital authorities.

Do you have any idea who is speaking the truth, who is lying and will they ever reconcile? Let us know your opinion in this regard.

The Indian cricket team which will face South Africa in the 5-match T20I series starting today is relatively a less experienced team because the senior cricketers of the team – Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah have been rested by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Earlier the team was supposed to be led by KL Rahul but because of his injury, Rishabh Pant has been named as the new captain just one day before the match.

Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are the three top-order batsmen of India and all three of them have been under scanner because of their slow strike rate. If we analyze their performances in the IPL 2022, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had a poor IPL, the former was slammed not just for his batting performances but for his captaincy as well and the latter may have scored two half-centuries in the tournament but he failed to play a big innings in the crucial knock-out match.

While Rohit Sharma wasn’t able to score a single half-century in the tournament, he scored 268 runs at the strike rate of 120.17. He was also criticized for being very unstable regarding his bowling unit as well as for not making Tim David play in more matches. On the other hand, former RCB skipper Virat Kohli got out for golden duck three times in the tournament, he scored 341 runs with the strike rate of 115.99. Though Virat Kohli played a brilliant knock in the last league match against Gujarat Titans and kept the chances of his team entering the play-offs alive, he was trolled mercilessly for failing in the play-off match.

If we talk about KL Rahul, his campaign in the IPL 2022 can be called a successful one as he led Lucknow Super Giants in the play-offs in its debut season and also performed well with the bat but he was under fire for his slow strike rate, especially in the knock-out match.

It is a general opinion that India misses an explosive hard-hitter in the top-order who can make the most of the powerplay because the top three of team India take their time in settling down.

Now the Indian head coach Rahul Dravid has opened up on this matter and he has made it clear that there are no plans of making changes in the top three for the T20 World Cup; however he states that these three are quality players and their roles will be clearly defined to them. According to him, it is quite obvious that in a high-scoring game, the players will be expected to maintain their strike rate and they will also need to face the challenges posed by the pitch, if there are any.

Rahul Dravid who was speaking in a virtual press-conference said that there would be no change in the top three but in this series, they would be looking at the different top three and hopefully they would give a positive good start and also play as per the situation.

Will these three be able to make changes in their game as per situation? What do you think? Let us know your views.

The 5-match T20I series which will be played between India and South Africa will start from today (June 9) and the first match of the series will be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. The skipper of the Indian team Rohit Sharma has been rested along with the senior players – Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah and in Hitman’s absence, KL Rahul was chosen to lead the team.

However, things have changed a little as Rahul won’t be able to play the series because of his right groin injury and now Rishabh Pant will be leading the Indian team against South Africa in all the 5 T20I matches. It was definitely a pleasant surprise for 24 years old Rishabh Pant, who was earlier appointed as deputy of KL Rahul in the series, because he got to know about it after reaching Arun Jaitley stadium for practice session.

Rishabh Pant is not new to captaincy as he is the skipper of Delhi Ranji team but on being asked in a press conference as to how he is feeling after knowing that he will be leading the Indian team in the series, he says that he is still not able to digest it as he got the news just an hour ago. Pant says that though it has not happened in good circumstances, it is a good feeling and he is happy. He thanks the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for showing faith in him and also thanks his supporters for standing by him through thick and thin. He also adds that he would keep trying to improve himself and make his life better.

Rishabh Pant who has been leading Delhi Capitals in the IPL for the last two seasons states that playing as a captain in the IPL will be of great help to him because when a person does something regularly, he keeps on improving. He adds that he is one of those who learn from their mistakes and it will surely help him in the future.

Talking about the Indian team’s preparation for the T20I World Cup, he says that as a team they have certain goals in mind and it is quite obvious that they are preparing for the World Cup. He goes on to say that soon everyone will notice changes in the manner in which they play cricket.

Other than KL Rahul, spinner Kuldeep Yadav will also not feature in the series as he has got his right arm injured during the net sessions but till now no replacement has been named by the selectors.

Will the national team achieve success under Rishabh Pant’s leadership? What do you think?
