A typical Rohit-style schooling for Rana Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, Rana recalled that Rohit had told him that the team was very well aware of his ability to hit sixes but wanted him to play safe. The pacer revealed that the Hitman had taught him that any amount of runs scored b= by lower-order batters would be helpful for the team and that their role was also important. “ During one of the training sessions for the 2025 Champions Trophy, I had just walked out after hitting in the nets. While I was removing my gear, he walked to me and said: “ Bha...

The Gautam Gambhir way! Sanju Samson sidelined as Jitesh Sharma pushes ahead for Asia Cup XI

The ICC Academy in Dubai saw a star-studded Indian team, the defending champions, get high-quality practice. But on Monday evening, all eyes drifted towards a quiet corner where Sanju Samson sat alone, away from the middle of India’s final training session before the Asia Cup. He had arrived first, gloved up for wicketkeeping drills, even drawing applause from fielding coach T. Dilip after a sharp diving catch. Yet, once the batting rotations began, Samson cut a lonely figure. India leaves Sanju Samson alone The Kerala batter, who has struck three centuries in his last ten T20I innings, was made to wait. He shadow-batted, padded up, and hovered around the nets, only to be overlooked as Jitesh Sharma, Shivam Dube, Tilak Varma, and Hardik Pandya took turns in the middle. Even in previous training sessions , Jitesh was preferred batting alongside the natural starters. Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, and Abhishek Sharma then followed, each given multiple stints. Samson eventually batted...

Yet, there are question marks over a couple of spots. The biggest one is the conundrum of choosing between your best bowling attack or elongating the batting till number eight to give the aggressive brand some cushion. One of the players involved in this debate is Shivam Dube, who would be in India’s playing XI for the Asia Cup if Suryakumar Yadav chooses batting depth. Cricket 15 seconds Countdown to T20 World Cup 2026 begins with Asia Cup 2025 squad selection Morkel wants to make Shivam Dube a 4-over bowler If India does indeed include Shivam Dube in the mix over a specialist bowler, they’ll have batting till number eight, giving them extra buffer to play the way they like to. Predominantly a spin basher, Dube’s role in the team would elevate with him being the sixth-bowling option. For that, In...
