  • India T20 WC Squad LIVE Updates: Pathan backs “captain” Rohit!

Irfan Pathan feels Rohit Sharma is currently the best individual to lead the team into the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup

“As far as captaincy is concerned, he is the best leader you have. We always talk about the players, but leadership is a different thing. We saw what happened in this IPL with quite a few captains; it’s not easy. Captaining a side in cricket still holds great value and this is why we always talk highly about Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He has been rated highly by the entire world for the reason that it’s such a tough job, and he made it very simple. And after Mahendra Singh Dhoni, when test matches came, Virat was your best captain ever, the way he took the team in front. So the leadership was there for the world to see how he was making an impact in test cricket. But when it comes to recent white ball cricket, you can’t look beyond Rohit Sharma. He is your best leader, even with the bench strength considered. In the future, they will be keeping an eye on Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah as far as captaincy is concerned. Now we have Hardik Pandya as the Vice Captain, Rishabh Pant is also there in your leadership role group if he gets going because he was there in the leadership role before he got injured. So there are three or four ready guys, but Rohit is the number one.”

India T20 WC Squad LIVE Updates: Sangakkara backs selectors! Amid criticism over the squad selection, former Sri Lanka captain and Rajasthan Royals Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara feels India’s squad is strong and balanced.

“It’s an extremely strong squad. They’ve got their batting covered, they’ve got their all-rounders in. They’ve got very high-quality spin and they’ve got very good combinations that they can play. Knowing the conditions there, I’m sure Rahul (Dravid) and Rohit (Sharma) have a good idea of what the squad should be to play the cricket they want in the World Cup. And they’ll be having two or three different combinations, depending on whether they want a deeper batting line-up or more strength in their bowling. But it’s a well-balanced squad, a very strong squad, and India’s always been very strong in international tournaments,” Sangakarra said ahead of the SRH vs RR IPL 2024 match.

Live score between India and England, Day 4 of the Second Test: Jasprit Bumrah takes Jonny Bairstow, ENG six down in Visakhapatnam!

Live score for India vs. England, Second Test Day 4 Today: To take a 2-0 lead in the series, Ben Stokes and company will try to pursue the objective with a day to spare.

Live score: India and England

IND vs ENG Live Score, 2nd Test Day 4 Today: Right at the stroke of lunch Jasprit Bumrah picked up Jonny Bairstow on Day 4 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam reducing England to 194/6. The visitors still need 205 runs to win. R Ashwin was pick of the bowlers in the morning session for India with 3 wickets.

Earlier Shubman Gill’s scintillating return to form helped India post an imposing target of 399 against England which the Bazballers will fancy chasing down on Monday, the fourth day of the second Test. At Stumps on Sunday, England were in a good position posting 67/1 with ‘nighthawk’ Rehan Ahmed (batting on 9) and opener Zak Crawley (batting on 29) in the middle. The other opener Ben Duckett had started like a house on fire with a quickfire 27 off 28 balls before the veteran Ravichandran Ashwin sent him back to the pavilion.

Earlier, Gill got the proverbial monkey off his back when he scored 104 runs to help India post the target. Axar Patel gave him able support with a well-made 45 but the others like Srikar Bharat and Ashwin could not add much to the score.

Here are some highlights around IND vs ENG 2nd Test Day 4

  • England were aggressive throughout the first session but India fought back with regular wickets
  • Ashwin picked two wickets and is now one away from reaching 500 in Tests
  • Zak Crawley scored 73 off 132 but ended up falling to Kuldeep Yadav minutes before Lunch
  • The injured Joe Root scampered to 16 off 10 before falling to Ashwin
