The British insulted and drove them away! Returning to Zimbabwe, he scored a hundred... created history by scoring a century for 2 countries

The British insulted and drove them away! Returning to Zimbabwe, he scored a hundred... created history by scoring a century for 2 countries

Batting first during the Zimbabwe tour (Zimbabwe vs West Indies), the West Indies team declared their innings at 447 for the loss of six wickets. Zimbabwe's team was all out for 379 runs during the first innings.

Playing cricket for two different countries is a very rare thing in the cricket world. Going a step further than this, a cricketer from Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe vs West Indies) has now scored a century for two different countries. 

By doing this feat, he has become a part of a unique list. Gary Ballance hit a century during the Test match against the West Indies. He has already scored a century while playing in England.

Gary Ballance has become the second batsman in the world to do so. Earlier, Kepler Wessels has scored a century while playing cricket in two countries.

 Kepler Wessels scored four centuries for Australia from 1982 to 1985. After this he moved to South Africa, where in 1991, after Africa got the recognition of the ICC, two centuries came from his bat.

Gary Ballance, 33, has previously played for Yorkshire County Club in England. While being a part of this club, he scored a century. This left-handed batsman now played an unbeaten inning of 137 runs against the West Indies.

 He faced 231 balls during his innings. During this, 12 fours and two sixes came out of Balance's bat. The whole team is out.

 He remained unbeaten till the end. However, despite this, he could not save his team from falling behind by 68 runs on the basis of the first innings.

Between 2014 and 2017, Gary Ballance scored four centuries while playing in England. In the year 2021, a case of racism came to light in the Yorkshire team. In the matter of making objectionable remarks on teammate Azim Rafiq, he had accepted his mistake. 

He was also released by the Yorkshire County Club. After this, Gary Ballance returned to Zimbabwe and started playing cricket in his country.

The ball flew in the air, Sundar jumped, caught a sensational catch by spreading one hand'

 The ball flew in the air, Sundar jumped, caught a sensational catch by spreading one hand'

Washington Sundar was hit for a long six on the very first ball of the over, but in the next 5 balls, the Indian spinner equalized his account by taking 2 wickets.

With their strong batting and deadly bowling, the Indian cricket team has registered good wins against teams like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and New Zealand in the last few weeks.

 There are hardly any questions raised on the performance of Team India. However, on the fielding front, the Indian team has not been able to impress much and in the recent past, there have been many occasions when the Indian team proved to be backward in fielding, especially in terms of catching catches. 

In such a situation, Team India's all-rounder Washington Sundar presented an example through an excellent catch.

The three-match T20 series between India and New Zealand started in Ranchi from Friday 27 January.

 Team India bowled first in this match and in the third over itself, Washington Sundar came for bowling and in his very first over, he took 3 wickets while bowling economically.

Washington and Team India soon got its good result. When Washington came to bowl again in the fifth over, Finn Allen hit a six on the very first ball.

 However, on the next ball, Sundar took his wicket as well and gave India its first success. The real game was yet to happen and it happened on the last ball of the over.

Sundar's catch was so tremendous and so unbelievable that there was an uproar in the stadium. At the same time, the umpires also had to take the help of the third umpire.

 The third umpire also did not take much time and ordered Chapman to return to the pavilion after seeing Sundar's sensational catch only once after seeing the replays.

Ranji Trophy: Ravindra Jadeja's strong form came back... heavy on the whole team alone, fall of wickets in Tamil Nadu

 Ranji Trophy: Ravindra Jadeja's strong form came back... heavy on the whole team alone, fall of wickets in Tamil Nadu 

In India, on one hand young players are constantly being given opportunities. Some important players of Team India were walking out due to injury. One of them was the name of star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. 

He was running out of the team since the Asia Cup due to a major injury. But before returning to Team India, the BCCI decided to field him in domestic cricket. But Jadeja showed his true form after only one innings.

Jadeja was not part of the team in the T20 World Cup due to injury. In his place, Akshar Patel got the opportunity to play the World Cup in his place. When Jadeja entered the field after 6 months, everyone's eyes were on him.

 In the first innings, the star all-rounder was able to take only 1 wicket. After that, Jadeja could not do anything special even in batting. He scored just 15 runs while batting. But by the time the second innings came, Jadeja was back in his old rhythm.

Two Jadejas dominated the bowling for Saurashtra. When Ravindra Jadeja wreaked havoc, its effect was also visible on Dharmendra Singh Jadeja. Team India's star all-rounder showed the way to the pavilion to 7 batsmen. At the same time, the second Jadeja took 3 wickets in his name. With the return of Ravindra Jadeja's tremendous form, there has been a wave of happiness among the fans on social media.

Virat Kohli: I am number-1, Virat is after me... The childish act of this player created a big controversy in the cricket world

 Virat Kohli: I am number-1, Virat is after me... The childish act of this player created a big controversy in the cricket world 

Virat Kohli, the uncrowned king of the cricket world. Virat Kohli, who holds many records in his name, is counted among the best cricketers in the world. Kohli has the most centuries in international cricket after the great Sachin Tendulkar. 

If someone makes a list of top cricketers of the current era, then obviously Virat's name will be very high. Now a player has declared himself ahead of Virat. That Pakistani player not only did such a childish act but also kept the facts about it, which created controversy in the cricket world.

When 34-year-old Virat Kohli is on the field, the biggest bowler starts making strategies. Despite so many records of Virat, who has scored about 25 thousand runs in international cricket, the Pakistani cricketer has described himself as the number-1 player of the ODI format. 

The player who has given this statement is 36 year old Khurram Manzoor. He also says that he is a better player than Virat and this superstar Indian cricketer comes after him.

Pakistani cricketer Khurram Manzoor said in a conversation with a YouTube channel, 'I am not comparing myself with Virat but look at the facts. He is in the top 10 but I am the No. 1 player in the world in ODI format. Kohli comes after me. My way of playing is much better than his. 

He scores a century in six innings on an average but I score a century in an average of 5.68 innings. Manzoor did not stop at this. He said that he has been doing well in List-A cricket for the last 10 years and is at number 5. 

36-year-old Manzoor further said, 'In the last 10 years, I scored runs in List-A cricket at an average of 53 and currently I am ranked 5th in the world. I have scored 24 centuries in the last 48 innings but still the selectors ignore me. No one has told me the valid reason for this till date. ,

Please tell that Khurram Manzoor is a right-handed top order batsman. He has played 16 Tests, 7 ODIs and 3 T20 Internationals in his career.

 In Tests, he scored a total of 817 runs at an average of 28.17. 236 in ODIs at an average of 33.71 while scoring just 11 runs in T20 international cricket .

If you look at the correct figures, you will also call Manzoor's statement childish. Virat averages 48 in Test cricket while in ODIs and T20s it goes up to 57.69 and 52.73 respectively. 

In List A cricket, Virat Kohli has 14251 runs while Khurram has scored 7922 runs. Virat has scored 50 centuries in List A cricket while Khurram Manzoor has been able to score a total of 27 centuries so far.

IND vs NZ: Rohit-Shubman set new world record, broke Sehwag-Gambhir's 14-year-old record

 IND vs NZ: Rohit-Shubman set new world record, broke Sehwag-Gambhir's 14-year-old record 

Captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill played century innings against New Zealand. On the basis of their fast batting, this Indian pair made a new world record. Both of them broke the 14-year-old record of the pair of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir.

In the third ODI of the series against New Zealand, the opening pair of Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill batted furiously. 

Both these stalwarts, batting in excellent rhythm, crossed the threshold in ODIs against the Kiwis, which was unbroken for almost a decade and a half. Hitman and Gill broke the world record made by Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir in 2009 and set a new record in ODI cricket.

Captain Rohit Sharma's three-year-long wait for an ODI century at Indore's Holkar Stadium not only ended, it also brought a new gift for Indian cricket.

 He created a new history by breaking his own old record. Rohit and Gill together shared a 212-run partnership in this match. This is the highest opening partnership by any opening pair against New Zealand.

Earlier, the record of the biggest opening partnership against the Kiwis in ODIs was in the name of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhiri. The opening pair of Viru and Gauti shared an unbeaten 201-run partnership in an ODI in Hamilton in 2009.

 However, before these two, in 2006, the pair of Sanath Jayasuriya and Upul Tharanga also shared a 201-run partnership against New Zealand in Napier.

This record was achieved after three years by the pair of Sehwag and Gambhir by remaining unbeaten despite being on equal score. The best part is that after 14 years only an Indian pair came forward to break this record.

Indian opening pair's partnership against New Zealand in Indore ended with the wicket of Rohit Sharma. The Indian captain got out after scoring 101 runs in 85 balls. 

Hitman also hit 6 tremendous sixes in this innings along with 9 fours. After Rohit's dismissal, Gill also returned to the pavilion soon. This young opener scored 112 runs in 78 balls. Batting in excellent rhythm, he also hit five sixes with 13 fours.

Ishan Kishan: ICC will ban Ishan Kishan? Controversy arose due to this childish act

 Ishan Kishan: ICC will ban Ishan Kishan? Controversy arose due to this childish act 

The first match of the ODI series between India and New Zealand was played on 18 January. During this match, India's wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan made a deliberate hit-wicket appeal against New Zealand captain Tom Latham. 

 For this act, the news of a big action being taken on Ishan Kishan was coming out. According to the rules, he could have been banned for 12 matches, but he seems to be avoiding this controversy. 

A stuff.nz report on Monday said that under the ICC's Code of Conduct, Ishan could be charged with a Level 3 offense of attempting to gain undue advantage, which could lead to a suspension of four to 12 ODIs or T20 Internationals. Matches are suspended. However, ICC match referee Javagat Srinath let Ishaan off with just a warning. 

This matter happened on the fourth ball of the 16th over when Latham, playing his first ball of the match, was inside his crease and Chinaman Kuldeep Yadav dodged it. Ishaan suddenly went into appeal and skipper Rohit Sharma joined in the same.

 The square seg umpire immediately referred the decision to the third umpire, primarily because it was unclear what exactly had happened.

Ishaan and the Indian team appealed for Latham's dismissal, indicating that the batsman had knowingly brought down his stumps. 

But replays checked by the TV umpire showed that Kishan had deliberately dropped Bell with his glove long after Latham had hit the ball, after which he was adjudged not out. 

The report said that match referee Javagal Srinath spoke to Ishaan about the incident after the match, in which Indian captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid were involved. 

Srinath also spoke to stand-in Black Caps head coach Luke Ronchi and the team management. The visiting team is happy not to pursue the matter further.

In the first match of the series between the two teams, Team India won the toss and batted first. Batting first, on the basis of Shubman Gill's innings of 208 runs, Team India scored 349 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 50 overs. 

In response to this target, the New Zealand team also batted brilliantly, but they were all out after scoring 337 runs in 49.2 overs. Michael Bracewell scored the highest 140 runs from New Zealand.

In the team announced by the ICC, England's Jos Buttler is at number one, who performed brilliantly for his team in the T20 World Cup 2022. In 15 T20 matches played in the year 2022, Jos Buttler has scored 462 runs at a strike rate of 160.41. After Eoin Morgan stepped down from the captaincy, England made Joss Buttler his captain and he left his mark there too. 

The ICC has selected Pakistan opener Mohammad Rizwan as Jos Buttler's partner. Mohammad Rizwan scored 996 runs in the year 2022. He has been the second highest run-scorer in T20 Internationals last year behind India's Surya Kumar Yadav. Rizwan scored 10 half-centuries in the year 2022 and scored the highest 175 runs for his team i.e. Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2022. 

The ICC has selected former India captain Virat Kohli as the number three batsman. Virat Kohli has again shown his same form as the year goes by. He also completed his maiden T20 century against Afghanistan in Asia Cup 2022.

 After this, he is scoring runs continuously. In Asia Cup 2022, Virat Kohli did the job of scoring 276 runs. In the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli played a stormy inning of 82 runs in the match against Pakistan, due to which the Indian team was able to win the match.

In the World Cup, three half-centuries came from his bat and he added a total of 296 runs to his account. After this, Suryakumar Yadav has also been included in the ICC team. In the year 2022, Suryakumar Yadav scored the most runs in T20 International. 

He has also become the second batsman in the world to score more than 1000 runs in a calendar year. 

In the year 2022, Suryakumar Yadav scored 1164 runs, including two centuries and nine half-centuries. He is also currently occupying the number one position in the ICC T20 rankings. 

The ICC has selected New Zealand's Glenn Phillips for number five. He is a special player because he has the expertise to do wonders in bowling as well as batting.

 In the year 2022, Glenn Phillips scored 716 runs in 21 matches and his strike rate was more than 156. Apart from this, Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe has also got a place in the team. He is the highest run scorer for Zimbabwe in the year 2022. 

He has 735 runs to his name and has also taken 25 wickets. Apart from Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav, Team India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has also been given a place. In the year 2022, he scored 607 runs in T20 and took 20 wickets.

Apart from these top seven players, other players who have found a place in this list include England's Sam Karan, Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga, Pakistan's Harris Rauf and Ireland's Josh Little.

IND vs NZ: Ishaan Kishan's childish act could have cost him, not from the third ODI, he would have been out from the Australia series too!

 IND vs NZ: Ishaan Kishan's childish act could have cost him, not from the third ODI, he would have been out from the Australia series too! 

The third and last match of the ODI series between India vs New Zealand is to be played on 24 January in Indore. In this match, a big difficulty could have arisen in front of Team India. Because Ishaan Kishan could have had to sit out of the match without getting injured. Because he did a childish act in the Hyderabad ODI. Because of this, he could have fallen on the Australia series. 

Indian wicketkeeper Ishaan Kishan escaped a major punishment. He made such a mistake in the first ODI against New Zealand in Hyderabad, due to which he could be out of at least 4 ODIs. However, ICC match referee Javagat Srinath let Ishaan off with just a warning. 

Now the question in everyone's mind will be that what wrong did Ishaan do in the first ODI that he could have been punished for being out of 4 ODIs, not one or two. In such a situation, Ishaan could not play not only in the third ODI against New Zealand in Indore, but also in the series against Australia next month. Actually, Ishaan tried to cheat the umpire.
