India Need Not Make Changes If Gurnoor And Gill Are Fit, Says Irfan Ahead Of 2nd ODI
New Delhi: Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes India should resist making unnecessary changes for the second ODI against England after their convincing series-opening victory at Edgbaston, saying the team's priority should be maintaining momentum while monitoring the fitness of Shubman Gill and Gurnoor Brar. India claimed a six-wicket win in Birmingham to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, with Axar Patel starring with both bat and ball and captain Shubman Gill laying the foundation during the chase before retiring hurt with cramps. Fast bowler Gurnoor Brar also picked up two key wickets after appearing to struggle physically during the match. Looking ahead to the next fixture, Pathan said India have little reason to alter a winning combination, while England face the bigger challenge of regrouping after the defeat. The main thing is to maintain this momentum. It's good that you won, so there isn't much you need to change. Anyway, it's just a day's break. England will have to work very hard. They will have to manage the short turnaround and come back with better planning. So, there are more challenges for them than for India, Pathan told JioStar. India recovered from the early losses of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the chase of 259, with Gill's 80, followed by an unbeaten century partnership between Axar Patel and Washington Sundar, sealing victory with 28 balls to spare. While backing continuity, Pathan identified fitness as the only area that could influence India's selection for the second ODI. For the Indian team, my main concern would be how serious Gurnoor Brar's injury is and how serious Shubman Gill's hamstring issue is, considering he retired hurt. Those are the two things I will be watching closely, he added. Gill retired hurt after making a fluent 80, while Brar played an important role with the ball by triggering England's middle-order collapse during the first innings. Pathan added that only injury concerns should prompt changes to the playing XI, even as discussions continue about the possibility of bringing in spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Gill retired hurt after making a fluent 80, while Brar played an important role with the ball by triggering England's middle-order collapse during the first innings.

1st ODI: 'I Had To Stay Focused Rather Than Thinking,' Says Axar On Match-winning Knock
New Delhi: India's match-winner Axar Patel said patience, self-belief and trusting the conditions were the key factors behind his all-round display in the opening ODI against England at Edgbaston, where his four-wicket haul and unbeaten half-century helped India register a six-wicket victory and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Axar, who returned figures of 4-62 before scoring an unbeaten 57 in a decisive 102-run fifth-wicket partnership with Washington Sundar, admitted the innings was especially significant after a difficult T20I phase in which he felt he was trying to force the pace. It was very important for me to deliver this kind of performance. As for my mindset, I needed to keep at it. I had to stay focused rather than thinking it would just happen on its own. I had to have self-belief and execute my plans. I feel like I was trying to hit the ball too hard during the T20Is. When you go in to bat in the death overs, you don't have any other option but to go for big shots, but I was losing my shape a little. So, when I went in to bat in this game, obviously after we got a great start, I just wanted to build a partnership. I wasn't trying to hit the ball too hard because I knew I had time and could afford to take a few balls as well. I was focusing on my timing. On this kind of wicket, it is very important to trust the bounce. Once you start reading it well, I think you can score runs, Axar told JioStar. India's chase was jolted by the quick dismissals of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill later retired hurt after making 80. Axar and Sundar then combined to guide the visitors home with an unbeaten stand that effectively shut England out of the contest. The all-rounder also explained why batting became considerably easier once a batter had spent time at the crease, pointing to the movement available for the bowlers early in an innings. If you look at their innings, or even our innings, whoever was new to the crease found it very difficult to come in and start hitting straight away. Even for them, it became easier for Joe Root and Liam Dawson once the partnership was set. So I think spending some time at the crease after coming in to bat was very important. On such wickets, you cannot come in and play shots on the rise immediately because there was bounce, and it was swinging and seaming as well. You have to give yourself that little bit of time, and after that, you could play your shots, he added. England experienced similar challenges after opting to bat first. The hosts slipped from 61 without loss to 80 for five before Joe Root and Liam Dawson revived the innings with a 121-run partnership. Axar then removed the lower order to finish with four wickets as England were bowled out for 258. Reflecting on the current Indian setup, Axar credited the return of experienced campaigners for creating a settled environment in the dressing room, saying familiarity and clearly defined roles have strengthened the team's confidence. England experienced similar challenges after opting to bat first. The hosts slipped from 61 without loss to 80 for five before Joe Root and Liam Dawson revived the innings with a 121-run partnership.

Stop falling prey to NCs exploitive politics: Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari
Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari and Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir, who are currently on an outreach tour of the Pir Panjal region, lashed out at the ruling National Conference, accusing it of failures and deception. They were addressing a workers' convention at the Conference Hall in Dak Bungalow, Rajouri, on Tuesday. Party's Provincial President, Jammu, Manjit Singh, District President Rajouri Syed Manzoor Bukhari, and several other senior leaders also addressed the gathering. This event was organised by Syed Manzoor Bukhari. In his speech, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, as per a party statement, took a swipe at the ruling National Conference, alleging that instead of fulfilling its primary responsibility of ensuring effective governance and accelerating the development of Jammu and Kashmir, the government has been misleading people with false promises and emotional slogans. He urged people to stop repeatedly falling prey to what he described as the ruling party's tactics and to tell it that enough is enough. Developmental work has come to a standstill. In several areas, people still do not have access to potable drinking water. Many schools lack even basic toilet facilities. Yet, this government appears least concerned about these issues. Instead, it remains focused on keeping people occupied with emotional slogans to divert attention from its failures, he said. Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari also appealed to the people to remain united despite the attempts by parties like the BJP and the NC to divide them. He said, During the elections, the BJP polarised Hindu voters in Jammu, and eventually Muslims got united in favour of the NC. The fact is that we never had such issues here before. The diversity of religions and communities is what makes us unique and defines the people of Jammu and Kashmir. We ought to preserve communal harmony at all costs, despite the provocations by political forces, who divide people for political dividends. He said that following the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A in August 2019, everyone was apprehensive that Jammu and Kashmir would lose its demographic identity. Leaders of the Apni Party went to Delhi to meet senior government leaders, including the Prime Minister and the Home Minister, and convinced them to continue the exclusive rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir over land and government jobs. It took us more than three months to convince the Centre on this issue. We also ensured the release of around 3,200 prisoners during that period. These were among the Apni Party's key contributions soon after the party was established, he added. Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari reiterated his demand that New Delhi must engage in a dialogue with the people, especially the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, in order to address their issues and grievances. He expressed his concern over the issues that people in various areas across Pir Panjal areas are facing and said, Speaking on the occasion, Ghulam Hassan Mir took a dig at the National Conference, accusing it of lying to the people for its political gains. Mir said that Jammu and Kashmir is in desperate need of initiatives aimed at ensuring comprehensive development and the prosperity of its people. He said, We need serious initiatives for comprehensive and well-planned development in Jammu and Kashmir. However, the fact is that as long as the National Conference remains in power, meaningful development will remain a dream. NCs track record shows that whenever this party has been in power, Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed a development deficit. Expressing his concern over the issues that Jammu Kashmirs youth are facing, Ghulam Hassan Mir said, Unfortunately, for a long time, misleading policies and false narratives have driven our youth on a path that led them either to the graveyards or to jails. A large number of young people have become victims of violence and guns over the years. Addressing the gathering, Manjit Singh urged party workers and people to strengthen the Apni Party so that it can implement its pro-people agenda and policies. He urged party workers to intensify their political and public outreach activities to remain connected with the people and make people aware of the pro-people agenda and policies of the party. Speaking on the occasion, the party's District President, Syed Manzoor Bukhari, said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are fed up with the gimmickry and deceptive politics of the traditional parties and their leaders. He said that people now fully understand that they were once again misled by these parties through false promises made during the 2024 Assembly elections. He urged the party workers to prepare for the upcoming Panchayat and ULB polls in Jammu and Kashmir. Besides, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, Ghulam Hassan Mir and Manjit Singh the prominent party leaders and senior workers who were present on the occasion included Coordinator Pir Panjal Arun Sharma, ST Sate President Saleem Chowdhury, District President Rajouri Syed Manzoor Bukhari, State President SC Wing Bodraj Baghat, State President Kissan Wing Badrinath Sharma, District President Rural Rajouri Vickey Sudan, District Vice President Rajouri Shabir Chowdhury, Youth President Rajouri Irfan Anjum, Provincial Secretary Youth Riyaz Ahmad and others.
