India will be up against Australia in what promises to be a tough five-match Test series Down Under. India will be under pressure coming off a 3-0 series defeat at home and with the WTC points at stake, it's all-or-nothing time for the visitors and hence have picked a jumbo squad for the same.
India finished the year 2024 with a stunning 3-1 series win over South Africa away from home. India won the fourth and final T20I by 135 runs registering one of their biggest wins in the format. Here's the list of five Indian bowlers to pick the most wickets in T20Is in 2024.
India lost the second T20I against South Africa despite Varun Chakaravarthy picking up a five-wicket haul. The hosts chased down the 125-run target with an over to spare and three wickets in hand even as Surya's major captaincy blunder cost India the match.
Delhi Capitals have a new coach and a new director of cricket in place in Hemang Badani and Venugopal Rao, respectively with GMR set to control the operations as part of the co-ownership deal with JSW taking the back seat for a couple of years and that had a lot to do with their retention choices.
The BCCI named a 15-member squad for four-match T20I series against South Africa next month with most of the side retained from the one that played against Bangladesh in first half of October. One of the stars of the Emerging T20 Asia Cup, Ramandeep Singh has earned a maiden India call-up.
Team India management is posed with a selection dilemma ahead of the first Test against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The match is set to commence on September 19 and India is yet to decide whether to play three seamers or spinners.
Axar Patel went back unbeaten on Day 2 for India D in their clash against India C in the Duleep Trophy. Axar had already turned out to be a saviour in the first innings, hitting a fine half-century. He now holds the key as India D look to give a daunting target to India C.
Indian players have amassed tens of sixes in the last few years in the Test format. Here is a list of Indian players with most sixes in Tests since 2020.
Suryakumar Yadav has led India in seven T20I games. Team India has registered wins in five matches and lost two games under the leadership of Suryakumar thus far.
Axar Patel was disappointed to be ruled out of the ODI World Cup 2023 with a left quadriceps strain. However, as luck would have it, he was included in India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad and helped the team win the tournament.
Axar Patel played a key role in helping Team India claim their second ICC Men's T20 World Cup. He scored 92 runs while batting at a strike rate of 139.39 and also picked up nine wickets in eight games at an economy rate of 7.86.
In the latest ICC T20I rankings for bowlers, there is no Indian in top 10 while England spinner Adil Rashid continues to be on top. Not many T20Is are being played since the World Cup but India and Zimbabwe were in action from July 6 to 14 playing five matches in the format.
Suryakumar Yadav is going into the Men's T20 World Cup 2024 tournament as the No. 1 ranked batter in the ICC Men's T20I batting rankings. Suryakumar has aggregated 861 rating points and has a considerable lead over Phil Salt who is second on the list.
Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was slapped with a match suspension and fine due to slow over-rate against Rajasthan Royals. Rishabh was forced to miss Delhi's crucial IL 2024 game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 12, 2024.
Rishabh Pant has been handed a fine and a suspension for one match following Delhi Capitals' third over-rate offence in IPL 2024. He will be missing DC's clash against RCB, while Ricky Ponting has confirmed the player who will fill up his role at the helm for the crucial game.
Axar Patel after going for 14 runs in his first over, came back really well in his next three to not only take a couple of wickets but go for just 21 runs against the Mumbai Indians. Among the two wickets he took, he grabbed a one-handed screamer as the ball stuck to his left hand.
With Ravindra Jadeja expected to be fully fit for the third Test and Ravichandran Ashwin certain to play, India once again have a selection headache. Axar Patel provides batting depth and the fact that they will persist with two seamers, will Kuldeep Yadav be sidelined again?
Axar Patel was picked over Kuldeep Yadav to strengthen India's potent spin-bowling attack. The Anand-born was fairly impressive with both the ball and the bat in hand when the last time the Three Lions toured India.
Despite missing out on selection for the Afghanistan series due to injury, India's Suryakumar Yadav is still occupying the top spot in the ICC T20I batting rankings with 869 ratings.
The BCCI announced India's 16-man squad for the first two of the five-match Test series against England starting January 25 in Hyderabad. 22-year-old wicketkeeper batter Dhruv Jurel getting the maiden international call-up in the squad was the biggest news regarding the Test team announcement.
