DRS March 2: ICC’s bias for India, Mohammed Shami injury, Dhoni abuses CSK batting coach
The four semifinalists for the ICC Champions Trophy have been confirmed: India, New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia. South Africa secured their spot after an easy win against England on Saturday. However, both South Africa and Australia face logistical challenges as they travel to Dubai. One of these teams will need to return right after today’s India vs New Zealand match. For India’s lineup, changes might occur due to Mohammed Shami’s injury concerns. Looking at IPL 2025, Mike Hussey recounted an incident involving MS Dhoni, where the ex- CSK skipper was unhappy with his batting coach’s advice. Let’s look at the major updates as we approach today’s DRS segment.
South Africa sail into Champions Trophy SF
South Africa played really well and won their last group match against England easily, finishing first in Group B. This victory took them straight into the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy 2025. On the other hand, England didn’t have a good time in the tournament. They lost all seven of their One Day International (ODI) matches under him. This defeat marked the end of Buttler’s time as captain, leaving England disappointed and out of the tournament.
Karun Nair scores century, speaks on inclusion in Team India
Karun Nair is in fantastic form and seems unstoppable. In the final Ranji Trophy game between Vidarbha and Kerala, he first saved his team by scoring 86 runs in the first innings. Then, he went on to score a century, which might be the key to winning the match. This is his third century in the Ranji Trophy and ninth this season. He spoke on his future with Team India as well.
ICC’s India bias exposed
Cricket fans are questioning the ICC’s scheduling for the Champions Trophy semi-finals, seeing it as unfair. Australia and South Africa are required to travel to Dubai on Saturday, even though one will have to head back to Pakistan the following day, creating logistical challenges. Critics argue this benefits India, which is assured of playing all semi-final matches in Dubai, avoiding similar travel burdens. What ICC has to say? Read here
