IPL 2024: Ahmedabad, Chennai To Host Playoffs From May 21; Final At Chepauk On May 26 (ld)

With Chennai Super Kings: Ahmedabad and Chennai will host the IPL 2024 playoffs, with the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium set to organise the final on May 26, informed the BCCI while announcing the schedule for the remaining fixtures of the tournament on Monday. While the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will host Qualifier 2 and the Final on May 24 and 26, respectively, the Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 21 and 22 respectively. With Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) being IPL 2023 finalists, as per tradition, their home venues have been picked for hosting the playoffs. Chennai had previously hosted the IPL finals in 2011 and 2012, while Ahmedabad played hosts to the title clash in the 2022 and 2023 seasons respectively. The BCCI had earlier released the IPL 2024 schedule for the first 21 matches as the dates for the upcoming general elections were not announced. The elections are now set to be held in seven phases from April 19 to June 1, while the counting of votes will happen on June 4. The board has stayed true to its word of hosting the entire IPL 2024 in the country, quashing speculations on shifting the competition abroad due to the elections. The second half of IPL 2024 will begin with defending champions CSK taking on two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in an evening clash at Chennai on April 8. A highlight of the second-half schedule is CSK meeting Mumbai Indians in a highly awaited clash of the tournament at the Wankhede Stadium on April 14, coinciding with the Tamil new year Day. CSKs other high-octane clash will be against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 18 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, which is also their last league match. The picturesque HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala and the Barsapara Cricket Ground in Guwahati will also host two IPL matches of its home teams Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, respectively. Dharamshala will see PBKS play an afternoon game against CSK on May 5, while hosting RCB in an evening clash on May 9. Guwahati will host RRs last two games against PBKS and KKR on May 15 and 19 respectively. The RR-KKR game on May 19 will also be the final league game of the season. After a days break, the playoffs will begin on March 21. The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi will host its first IPL game of this season when Delhi Capitals host 2016 winners Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 20. Delhi Capitals will host all of their remaining five home games in the Capital after playing their first two home games in Visakhapatnam to give time to their main home base for preparing pitches and ground after hosting WPL 2024 second half in March.

Himachal Pradesh: Sukhu-led govt survival depends on by-elections to be held with LS polls

CHANDIGARH: The fate of the 15-month-old Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Congress government in Himachal Pradesh now depends on the outcome of the assembly bypolls to the six seats. According to the Election Commission of India (ECI), voting for the Assembly and Lok Sabha polls will be held simultaneously on June 1. On Saturday, the ECI announced simultaneous bypolls in the six assembly segments of Dharamsala in Kangra, Sujanpur and Barsar in Hamirpur, Gagret in Una, Kutlehar and Lahaul-Spiti. The bye-elections were necessitated following the disqualification of six MLAs -- Sudhir Sharma from Dharamsala, Rajinder Rana from Sujanpur, Inder Dutt Lakhanpal from Barsar, Ravi Thakur from Lahaul-Spiti, Chaitnaya Sharma from Gagret and Devender Bhutto from Kutlehar. With the Congresss strength in the state assembly being reduced to 34, it will require two more seats to save its government from collapsing. As the BJP has 25 MLAs, the support of three Independent MLAs Hoshiyar Singh from Dehra, KL Thakur from Nalagarh and Ashish Sharma from Hamirpur is a must to win all the six seats. If the BJP wins all the six seats, its strength in the assembly will rise to 31 and with three independents on its side, the total number will be 34:34. Thus, the Congress is set to focus more on the assembly bypoll as its result will determine its governments survival than winning any of the four Lok Sabha seats. After the ECI announced the poll dates, the mercury in the political barometer shot up with both the ruling Congress and BJP putting in all their might to win the maximum number of seats. Sources said that the possibility of BJP giving a ticket to Congress rebel MLA Sudhir Sharma from the Kangra Lok Sabha seat cannot be ruled out. SC will on Monday take up a plea filed by six disqualified HP rebel Congress MLAs challenging state assembly Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathanias decision to disqualify them under anti-defection law. SC to take up plea against House Speaker Supreme Court will on Monday take up a plea filed by six disqualified Himachal Pradesh rebel Congress MLAs challenging state assembly Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathanias February 29 decision to disqualify them under the anti-defection law.

Sunanda K. Datta-Ray | Dalai Lama has ensured global identity for Tibet

No Chinese leader had ever asked of the Dalai Lama -- as Stalin did of the Pope -- How many divisions does he command? Yet this 65th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising of March 1959 must find China worried that the 88-year-old exile with an infectious giggle but without a country to rule or troops to command might be the wolf in a monks robe of its national nightmare. If so, what role will history assign to his enigmatic second eldest brother, Gyalo Thondup? When Jawaharlal Nehru sent the Dalai Lama to Dharamsala, journalists predicted that he would be forgotten on that shelf above the world. But Mao Zedong, with his acute insight into character and situations, had lamented when he heard that the Dalai Lama had escaped: In that case, we have lost the battle. The Great Helmsman knew that an idea conquers the world more effectively than any army can. While Dalai Lamas come and go, an institution embodying the spirit of Tibet lives for ever. Tibet and Tibetans have blossomed into an indestructible virtual nation during these 65 years of the Dalai Lamas exile. That is also Indias unique contribution to the cause. Presidents and Premiers meet the Dalai Lama only when they want to make a point against China, Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao once told me. We alone have given him full liberty to do whatever he wants! When I asked Chinas consul-general in Kolkata if Beijing was serious about claiming Arunachal Pradesh, he retorted: But of course! The Sixth Dalai Lama was born there! The fervently loyal Han diplomat meant Tsangyang Gyatso, an unconventional 17th century pontiff who disdained monastic austerity, grew his hair long, wore regular Tibetan robes, drank alcohol and accepted female company. Born on March 1, 1683 in Tawang, he was probably kidnapped and murdered by Mongol rebels during a power struggle but his poems and songs remain popular even today among Tibetan-speaking communities in Nepal, India and throughout China. The present 14th Dalai Lama, whom Tibetans call Gyalwa Rinpoche, was born into a farming family on July 6, 1935, and chosen as the incarnation of Tibetan Buddhisms supreme head at the age of two. He was given a string of high-sounding names and hastily installed in Lhasas 13-storeyed Potala Palace with its more than 1,000 rooms soaring nearly 400 feet above the Marpo Ri, or Red Hill, when the Chinese invaded. A detailed account of the enthronement by Sir Basil Gould, British representative in Gangtok with jurisdiction in Bhutan and Tibet, confirmed that despite Manchu claims, the canny Tibetans allowed the Chinese no role in the ceremonies. When Chinese troops crushed the Tibetan uprising, the Dalai Lama escaped from the Potala Palace to start the 13-day trek across the Himalayas to India, from which there was no return. He was just 23. While the Dalai Lama remains one of Natures innocents, his life an open Book. Gyalo Thondups tantalising links with the United States, Communist China, Taiwan, India, and Bhutan and role in the 1959 Tibetan uprising baffles many. As I wrote in my 2002 book, Waiting for America: India and the US in the New Millennium: When British intelligence reported in 1958 that the Chinese would soon launch their final campaign of pacification in Tibet, Dwight D. Eisenhower asked Nehru to give the Dalai Lama asylum. Being a notorious hard bargainer, Nehru demanded help in developing nuclear weapons. A security assurance is not enough, he said. India required its own nuclear guarantee against China. In 1953, when Nehrus sister Vijayalakshmi Pandit was the UNGAs president, President Eisenhower had made a seminal speech to the General Assembly announcing his Atoms for Peace programme to share nuclear technology to develop atomic energy for civilian purposes. Nehru welcomed the plan and agreement was reached in 1958 for what eventually became the $118-million Tarapur nuclear reactor According to the intermediary, William Corson, a Hong Kong-based Marine Corps major who was an intelligence aide to Eisenhower, Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, the course of the negotiations left no doubt that the American-trained scientists would be assigned the task of producing nuclear weapons. In 1974, less than sixteen years later, India exploded Pokharan-I, its first nuclear test Three years after the request about the Dalai Lama, a state department memo proposed that Washington should help India to develop the bomb in order to deny China the psychological edge of being Asias first nuclear power. Gyalo Thondup moved to Lhasa in 1939, and to Nanjing, Republican Chinas capital, three years later when he was 14, ostensibly to learn Chinese. He became a protg of Chiang Kai-shek, often dining with him at home and being educated by tutors selected by Chiang. In 1948, he married Zhu Dan, the daughter of a Kuomintang general. The first officially acknowledged Tibetan to visit Taiwan since 1949, Gyalo Thondup facilitated semi-official contacts between the exiled Dalai Lamas administration and the Chinese in both Beijing and Taiwan. He travelled to the United States in 1951, becoming a seemingly contrary link between Americas Central Intelligence Agency (which promised to make Tibet independent by organising guerrilla units to fight against the Peoples Liberation Army) and Deng Xiaoping, with whom he had negotiated on behalf of the Dalai Lama. It was a tortuous mix of roles with no one ever sure whether Indias RAW or the CIA was the real mastermind. Whispers of KMT funding and the part that an inconspicuous Tibetan restaurant in Calcuttas old Chinatown, which served Indias first and most delicious momos, played in recruiting fighters compounded the mystery. Even more curious was Bhutans allegation in 1974 that Gyalo Thondup had plotted to blow up Thimphus Tashichodzong, assassinate key members of the royal family and stage a coup. All that lies in the past. The Dalai Lama has handed over to an elected government and says that sovereign independence is no longer the goal. Change may now have to wait until some other power takes the initiative -- as the US did in 1903 to hive off Panama from Colombia, or India in 1971 splitting Bangladesh from Pakistan -- to create a more benign world order. But whatever happens, the 14th Dalai Lama, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, has ensured that Tibet and Tibetans will always remain distinctly separate from China and the Chinese. That is his unforgettable legacy.

Day I don't feel I am good enough, I would retire straightway: Rohit

Day I don't feel I am good enough, I would retire straightway: Rohit Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said he has been playing the best cricket of his life at present but he will bid adieu to the sport on the day when he feels ''not good enough.'' Rohit, whose side thrashed England by an innings and 64 runs here on Saturday to clinch the five-match Test series 4-1, added that the youngsters in the side played with a lot of maturity and soaked in the pressure, which really stood out during the contest. ''One day, when I wake up and feel, I am not good enough then I will retire straightaway. But in the last few years I am playing the best cricket of my life,'' Rohit told Jio Cinema after the fifth Test ended in less than three days. Rohit has been India's best Test batter in the last five years, having struck nine centuries since 2019, the year he started opening the innings in the longest format. The BCCI had also confirmed that Rohit will lead the Indian team in the upcoming T20 World Cup being jointly hosted by the West Indies and the USA. In January, he scored a whirlwind century against Afghanistan in a T20I to show his hunger to score runs and also to lead the side. Crediting the team for the series win against England he said, ''When you win a Test like this, everything has to fall in place. At some stage people are gonna (go) and people are gonna come and we know that. ''These (young) guys are maybe short of experience, they have played a lot of cricket and I can stand here and see that these guys responded pretty well under pressure. The credit goes to the entire team and it was pleasing to see.'' Yashasvi Jaiswal stood out with his twin double centuries, while Shubman Gill struck two centuries as they complemented the skipper, who himself had two tons to his credit in the series. The skipper added that India are typically slow to start in a Test series but get up to speed soon, adding that he was disappointed that the Test series against South Africa last year was just a two-game affair. India lost the opening Test but came back strongly to defeat the Proteas to level the series in the second match. ''We typically lose the first Test and then improve in the subsequent matches, so I was disappointed that we only played a two-match Test series in South Africa,'' said Rohit. He added that while the talk centered around players scoring centuries, due credit should also be give to the bowlers for taking 20 wickets. ''When you win a series like this, we talk about scoring runs and 100s but it is important to take 20 wickets to win a Test. The way bowlers took responsibility was pleasing to see. ''It was over a period of time that we had a conversation (with Kuldeep Yadav), he's got a lot of potential and when the chips were down in the first innings (in Dharamsala), he bowled really well. ''After his injury, he came back and worked at the NCA and he is putting a lot of effort and the most pleasing thing was his batting,'' added Rohit.

It is just a reward and not an incentive: Rahul Dravid on BCCI's Test cricket scheme

It is just a reward and not an incentive: Rahul Dravid on BCCI's Test cricket scheme After the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the 'Test Cricket Incentive Scheme' for the senior men's team, which will give players extra incentive other than the usual match fees for taking part in the longest format of the game, India head coach Rahul Dravid emphasised that it was more of a reward from the country's cricket governing body. The BCCI secretary on Saturday, Jay Shah announced the 'Test Cricket Incentive Scheme' for the senior men's team, which will give players extra incentive other than the usual match fees for taking part in the longest format of the game. I really hope money is not going to be the incentive to play Test cricket. It is just nice that the hard work and how tough Test cricket can be is being recognised. I don't see it as an incentive to make people play Test cricket I really hope not. I hope it never comes down to that. But I think it is nice to see that it is a tough format and it is a hard format, Rahul Dravid said in a post-match press conference. A five-wicket haul on his 100th Test by Ravichandran Ashwin broke the back of England's batting line-up, handing the Three Lions' 'Bazball' school of cricket a blow as India won the Test by an innings and 64 runs at Dharamshala. Applauding Ashwin's performance, who played his 100th Test and claimed 9 wickets in the match, Dravid said, It takes a special person to do what Ashwin has done, play 100 Test matches go through a lot. You guys celebrated Ashwin today and celebrated Jonny Bairstow, and Ben Stokes a few games ago because all of you recognise how challenging and tough this format is and what it takes to be able to have consistency to be able to survive the Test of time in this format. We don't celebrate 100 T20s in the same way, do we? But yeah it is nice BCCI is recognising it. I think it is just a reward and not an incentive. But I still really hope looking at the guys who came in and played in the series, everyone wants to play Test cricket and people want to play in Test cricket. It is just recognition of what you need to be able to do to survive in Test cricket. It is only when you get here you realise sometimes it is tough it is not easy but it is extremely satisfying, he added. India secured a massive victory in the fifth and final Test in Dharamsala with an innings and 64 runs, propelling hosts to a 4-1 series win over England. (ANI)

Nasser Hussain lambasts England's 'Bazball' approach, says it's about individual performances

Nasser Hussain lambasts England's 'Bazball' approach, says it's about individual performances Former England captain Nasser Hussain reflected on England's 1-4 series loss in India, when the visitors were humbled in Dharamsala by an inning and 64 runs following two batting collapses and said it is about individual performances in those conditions. The former captain defended pitches and praised a depleted Indian team for winning a series for the 17th time in a row at home. A five-wicket haul on his 100th Test by Ravichandran Ashwin broke the back of England's batting line-up, handing the Three Lions' 'Bazball' school of cricket a blow as India won the Test by an innings and 64 runs at Dharamsala. The final Test was like the old-school England in India in the last decade or so - it was a very one-sided affair. They were 100-1 on the first morning having won the toss, so to lose so comfortably inside three days was a capitulation - but they had their chances in the series, Hussain said as quoted by Sky Sports. In Test matches, it essentially means continuing to dominate periods and preventing the opposition from winning. Since this is England's first series loss since the period of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, who invented this style of play, they have failed to Bazball in India. Hussain stated that the reason James Anderson and R Ravichandran Ashwin are two of the greatest players in the game today is because they are constantly striving for improvement. He claimed that England seemed to be lost in the word Bazball and that self-improvement has suffered. There is too much said and written about Bazball. We get lost in that term and the team do not like it. It is about individual performances in those conditions. The reason James Anderson, who took his 700th wicket in the Test, and Ravichandran Ashwin, who took nine wickets in his 100th Test, have ended up greats of the game is because they are constantly trying to improve, he added. After a poor Ashes series, Jimmy wanted to increase his run-up speed going into the crease, feeling he needed a bit more zip at the age of 41. Ashwin is learning all the time, about seam positions and how to deliver the ball. You also look at Version Two of India spinner Kuldeep Yadav. That is so much better than Version One because he has tried to improve, Hussain said. He questioned why certain players stuck to their formula throughout the series, not trying to improve upon it in any way. Try to learn why you collapsed. Why does Zak Crawley keep getting starts and then getting out? Does Ben Duckett need to charge the bowler when the ball is so new and spinning? Ollie Pope - a brilliant 196, then nothing else. Look at your own game and improve. That is how you get better as a player and better as a team, the former England captain said. (ANI)

The heroes of India's dominating series win over England

Following a rigorous two-month-long Test series, India emerged victorious against England with a dominant scoreline of 4-1.

The decisive victory of the visitors by an innings and 64 runs in Dharamsala underscored the ruthlessness of the young Indian side under the leadership of Rohit Sharma.

Watch: Rohit's warning holds true as Sarfaraz escapes danger

Indian captain Rohit Sharma warned Sarfaraz Khan nearly two weeks ago, after the youngster attempted a risky stunt by fielding at forward short leg without wearing a helmet. Rohit's warning proved prescient on Saturday when Sarfaraz narrowly avoided a potentially serious head injury while fielding. This incident occurred shortly before India secured a convincing win by an innings and 64 runs in the fifth Test against England in Dharamsala.

Ajit Agarkar, his team guided us in right direction: Rahul Dravid hails India selector

Ajit Agarkar, his team guided us in right direction: Rahul Dravid hails India selector After a five-match Test series against England in which India suffered multiple setbacks be it player injuries and unavailability which forced the hosts to apply many changes and handed over five Test debuts, the head coach Rahul Dravid reserved special praise for chief selector Ajit Agarkar and his team guided us in the right direction. India secured a massive victory in the fifth and final Test in Dharamsala with an innings and 64 runs, propelling hosts to a 4-1 series win over England. At many moments throughout the series India were missing Mohammed Shami, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj, however, the hosts came out victorious with a 4-1 victory against the visitors. During the series youngsters Rajat Patidar, Dhruv Jurel, Sarfaraz Khan, Akash Deep and Devdutt Padikkal made their Test debut for India and the players did not disappoint the hosts, leaving their stamp with phenomenal performances. I'd just like to give a big shoutout to Ajit [Agarkar, chairman of selectors] and his team as well. A lot of the youngsters that come in, honestly, as a coach and as a captain, we don't actually get to see them because we don't see as much domestic cricket as Ajit and his team of selectors do. And they've pushed us and they've challenged us to pick some of these young players and they've picked the right ones and they've come out here and performed, Dravid said during a post-match presentation. One of the successful picks was wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel, who had only played 15 first-class matches. Jurel saved India from going down by a large margin in only his second Test in Ranchi, earning him Player of the Match honours. It is really good to see them step up. All of them in their own way put in some performances and played a part for this team which is heartning to see. I would like to give credit to Ajit and his team as a coach and as a captain we dont get to see Test cricket. So we have to rely on Ajit and his team to tell us who are the guys in domestic cricket who they feel can step up and fill in the gaps when required. They have been spot on and guided us in the right direction, he added. Dravid said he want to appreciate the contribution made by Ajit and his team as the selectors usually don't receive the credit they deserve. We pick the playing XI finally but they are the ones who guide us when it comes to the domestic cricketers. Sometimes they don't get the credit that they deserve as selectors and I would like to really just acknowledge their contribution as well. All of these guys were playing in the A tour and it really helped us to see which of the guys are performing doing well currently and all those guys just came in and performed in the series as well, he said. I have been a part of it during my time with NCA. We have got a lot of domestic cricket and I think the A team is the bridge between these two standards and it really helps you identify the players who are doing well, the head coach added. (ANI)

'Bazball, Batti Gull...': Sehwag tears into England

Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag couldn't put a check on his feelings as he came out with a long and stern post on social media platform X after India's innings victory over England in the fifth and final Test in Dharamsala. England's 'Bazball' approach totally backfired, but skipper Ben Stokes still defended the swashbuckling batting that has become the hallmark of their current style of play.

Dharamsala Test: Ashwin's 36th fifer helps India decimate England to 4-1 series win

Ravichandran Ashwin's 36th fifer in Tests helped India beat England by a mammoth victory margin of an innings and 64 runs in the fifth and final Test here on Saturday.Ashwin became the only fourth bowler in history to claim five wickets in the 100th Test and leveled with Sri Lanka's Muttaiah Muralitharan by ratcheting up a nine-wicket haul in the landmark Test. Joe Root (84) was the only batsman who was the thorn in the flesh for India in the second innings, while others returned to the pavilion meekly, especially on the marching orders of Ashwin for the bulk of the time. Tom Hartley tried his best to give cushion to Root but was sent back by a Jasprit Bumrah beauty to be trapped leg before the wicket. In the same over, the stand-in captain also similarly removed Mark Wood. Shoaib Bashir stayed put to help Root accomplish a much-deserved century, but Ravindra Jadeja rattled his timbers. This left no choice for Root to put to sword Indian bowlers. In this endeavor, he perished at long-on, to give India a crushing victory. After James Andeson etched his name in the history books by bagging his 700th Test wicket, India's first innings hastened up. With this, it was up to the English top-order batsmen to sign off in style. But the nugget of fire-in-the-belly stuff was missing from England's stable, but Ashwin had plenty of this and ran through the top-order with his chicanery, forcing England batsmen to play with uncertainty. Jonny Bairstow (39 off 31) was a ball with the bat, laundering some fun but Kuldeep Yadav slaughtered the merriment shortly after he was introduced by Bumrah.When Stokes' timbers were disturbed by Ashwin at the stroke of lunch, a narrative of misery writ all over England's performance in the series. If Ashwin sealed the match on Day 3, the victory conch was blown by Kuldeep on Day 1 with his sparkling 5/72 exploit. While Stokes' decision to bat first appeared to be the right decision on a deck favouring England as their batsmen played freely after spending some jittery moments at the crease. But the Indian spinners, especially Kuldeep, loaded with a bagful of trickery in his armour, capitalised on the bit of a hold in the pitch post-lunch. Right through, the foxy wrist-spinner has been the nemesis for the visitors throughout the series. Zak Crawley (79) showed the easeness with which to get the runs, but Kuldeep proved how good a bowler he is against the indecisive English batsmen in the first innings. The visitors lost six wickets in 37 balls on a good batting track, which was the relentless story in the series for media to grab. Ashwin nailed the lower order to finish the first innings with a four-fer and continued to draw the same contours in the second innings, bowling at his best.India's batsmen latched on to the opportunity which the English batsmen missed. They gorged upon the surface by piling up runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal sketched a fifty, going past 700 runs in the series, but could not persist in getting a big score as he did by smashing two double-hundreds in the series.However, the momentum Jaiswal provided gave Rohit Sharma (103) and Shubman Gill (110) a solid platform to hammer their second centuries of the series. Their 171-run stand deflated English spirits as runs poured down rapidly with drops of consistent boundaries. The duo tore apart the spinners, Tom Hartley and Shaoib Bashir, and Stokes' uncanny field settings did not bore fruits for the tourists.Rohit relished on wide and short stuff by spanking it to either side of the wicket, while Gill's footwork against spin was a joy to picture. England did enforce the marching orders to Rohit through Stokes' magic ball, which was his first of the series, and then James Anderson removed Gill, but India refused to give in easily. Debutant Devdutt Padikkal (65) and Satfaraz Khan (56) cracked the fifties by coming out to take on English bowlers, who aimed at running through India's lower order with the ball reversing. Both were lucky too but put up a brave front through testing spells. Even Kuldeep (30) was also involved in a 49-run stand with Bumrah (20) as they crushed England's toothless bowling attack. Bashir (5-173) ended with a fifer and while he did bowl well in parts, the inexperience showed. England's moments to cherish were Anderson's milestone and Stokes' ripper to Rohit, but they would certainly like to forget their spineless bowling and indecisive batting performances throughout the series. On a sporting Dharamsala wicket, England's calculation went awry and India prevailed after facing a crushing defeat in the first Test in Hyderabad. Brief scores: England218 and 195 (Joe Root 84; Ashwin 5-77) lost to India 477 (Shubman Gill 110, Rohit Sharma 103, Devdutt Padikkal 65; Shoaib Bashir 5-173) by an innings and 64 runs (UNI)

Cricket-Ashwin wrecks England in Dharamsala, India win series 4-1

Cricket-Ashwin wrecks England in Dharamsala, India win series 4-1 India bulldozed England by an innings and 64 runs inside three days of the final test on Saturday to complete a 4-1 series victory at the picturesque Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association stadium. The hosts held an unassailable 3-1 lead heading into the match and were on the ascendancy since taking a first innings lead of 259. Ravichandran Ashwin (5-77) wrecked England's top order and India eventually shot out the tourists for 195 with only Joe Root (84) offering some resistance with the bat. To win a test series, a lot of things have to fall into place and go right and our players did that, and that's why we are standing here with this series result, India captain Rohit Sharma said. India were without several frontline players and fielded five debutants in the series. Rohit was pleased with how the likes of Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan responded to the challenge. They responded very well to pressure throughout the series and there were a lot of times where we came back from behind during the series. Resuming on 473-8, India could add only four runs before losing their last two wickets when play restarted on day three. England warhorse James Anderson became the first fast bowler to claim 700 test wickets, when he dismissed Kuldeep (30) caught behind. India harnessed Ashwin with Jasprit Bumrah for new ball duties and the off-spinner bowled Ben Duckett (two) in his first over. Ashwin struck again in his third over, dismissing Zak Crawley for a duck. Ollie Pope made a breezy 19 before attempting a sweep against Ashwin, and Yashasvi Jaiswal took a running catch to dismiss the England vice captain. Jonny Bairstow smacked Ashwin for three sixes in an enthralling duel between two fierce competitors both playing their 100th tests. Kuldeep Yadav, replacing Ashwin in the attack, ended Bairstow's entertaining knock of 39, trapping him lbw. Ashwin returned to disturb Stokes' stumps with the final delivery before the lunch break after which England's defeat was only a matter of time. Root waged a lone battle but did not get much support from the other end and was the last man out. We are man enough and big enough to accept that we have been outplayed by the better team since the first test, Stokes said afterwards. We are going to take the positives from this series with the amount of cricket that we have got coming up and I'm really looking forward to drive this team even further forward. Kuldeep was adjudged player of the match primarily for his five-wicket haul in the first innings. India opener Jaiswal won the player of the series for his aggregate of 712 runs, which included two double hundreds, from nine innings. This was India's 17th consecutive test series win at home, where they have not lost a test series since an Alastair Cook-led England bested them in 2012.

I know what what it's like to lose to Indian 'B' Team: Paine

I know what what it's like to lose to Indian 'B' Team: Paine Tim Paine absolutely loves watching bitter rivals England lose any series but the former Australia captain knows what it is like to be beaten by an Indian 'B' team in Test cricket. No one knows what it feels like to lose to an second-string Indian side better than Paine, who was the Australian captain during 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where India claimed a famous 2-1 series win away from home. Devoid of then captain Virat Kohli, who flew back home after the first Test, Rohit Sharma, who was ruled out of the first two games, pacers Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav who were out with injuries, and no Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah, who were unavailable for the final Test in Gabba, Ajinkya Rahane led a pack of spirited youngsters to hand India a memorable series victory. ''I know what it's like to be beaten by an Indian B team. Unfortunately, it happened to us on our home soil. ''But yes, some huge names out for India, which should have certainly helped the English,'' said speaking to another former Australia captain Brad Haddin on the 'Around the Wicket' podcast. Playing without the likes of Kohli, Shami, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, India inflicted a 4-1 series defeat on England after winning the Dharamsala Test by an innings and 64 runs on Saturday. It is England's first series loss under coach Brendon McCullum and skipper Ben Stokes. ''I thoroughly enjoy watching England play the game, I love the way they are going about it. I love watching them lose. Don't get me wrong but they are entertaining and exciting,'' Paine added. The former wicketkeeper batter had previously stirred a major controversy when he criticised Jonny Bairstow after the stumping controversy during the 2023 Ashes series and labelled England skipper Ben Stokes as ''selfish'' after reversing his decision to retire from ODIs before the 2023 World Cup. Haddin too agreed that England were undone by an Indian 'B' team in the ongoing series. ''But they have been playing against the Indian B team because there has been no Kohli, no Shami, Bumrah got rested last Test, KL Rahul is out and Rishabh Pant is still making his way back from that accident,'' said Haddin. The former Australia stumper, however, lauded India's bench strength and had words of appreciation for the younger generation, who shone bright in the ongoing series. ''They are not their strongest team but it just goes to show that the depth in Indian cricket is huge because there are some big names coming into this next era of Indian cricket. ''(Yashasvi) Jaiswal is leading the charge; young (Dhruv) Jurel was magnificent in the last Test as well. So India are looking very strong,'' Haddin said.

'Bazball' handed one final blow as Ashwin's fifer helps India beat England by innings and 64 runs in 5th Test

'Bazball' handed one final blow as Ashwin's fifer helps India beat England by innings and 64 runs in 5th Test A five-wicket haul on his 100th Test by Ravichandran Ashwin broke the back of England's batting line-up, handling the Three Lions' 'Bazball' school of cricket one final blow as India won the fifth and final Test by an innings and 64 runs at Dharamsala on Saturday. India has won the series 4-1. Despite some promising moments and performances by England throughout the series, the Indian bowling and its youth brigade did not let the 'Bazball' conquer what was described as the 'Final Frontier' for skipper Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum after a lengthy run of success since mid-2022. England started off the second session at 103/5, with Joe Root (34*) joined by wicketkeeper-batter Ben Foakes. Foakes, known for playing some serious supporting roles with the bat, ended his innings at just eight runs, while attempting a massive slog sweep but was beaten by Ravichandran Ashwin's spin. England was 113/6. Next up on the crease was Tom Hartley, the lower-order batter who, surprisingly, is at the top of the six-hitting charts for England in this series. Hartley managed to occupy the crease for a while and give decent support to Root from the other end. His 24-ball 20-run knock was ended by Jasprit Bumrah, who trapped him leg-before-wicket. Two balls later, it was Mark Wood's turn to perish without a run with yet another toe crusher by Bumrah. England was 141/8 in 34.4 overs and India needed two more wickets to hand England an embarrassing innings defeat on day three. Root reached his half-century in 88 balls, with five fours. The batter found some support from Shoaib Bashir at the other end. The duo looked all but set to take England to the 200-run mark, but Bashir was cleaned up by Ravindra Jadeja for 13. England was 189/9 and 70 runs behind a lead. India needed just a wicket to win. Kuldeep got the final wicket of the match, getting Joe caught by Bumrah for a fighting 84 in 128 balls, with 12 fours. England was bundled out for 195 and lost the match by an inning and 64 runs. Ashwin (5/77) was the pick of the bowlers for India. Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah took two wickets each, while Ravindra Jadeja got one. Earlier, After their innings closed finally at 477, hosts India, leading by 259, put England on the rack in their second inning, with spin twins Ravi Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav weaving their magic on the visitors. At lunch on Day 3, England were staring down the barrel at 103/5, still trailing India by 156 runs. As the stumps were drawn for the luncheon break, former skipper and batting mainstay Joe Root was unbeaten on a strokeful 34. Playing his 100th Test, Ravi Ashwin made hay as the sun baked down on a wearing pitch at the scenic HPCA stadium in Dharamshala, sending the English top-order back in the hut. Openers Zak Crawley (0), Ben Duckett (2) and Ollie Pope (19) failed to make an impact. England was reeling at 36/3 in 9.2 overs. The experienced Yorkshire duo of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, then started the process of rebuilding for England, smashing some delightful strokes. England reached the 50-run mark in 12 overs. Adding to the wily Ashwin's four-fer, Kuldeep got one to spin back sharply on Johnny Bairstow, trapping him plumb in front of the wickets. Also playing his 100th Test, the Yorkshire, who has been struggling for form all series, took a liking for Ashwin and hit him for some towering sixes before falling to chinaman Kuldeep for 39 off 31 balls, with three fours and three sixes. England was 92/4. The fifth wicket to fall was of skipper Ben Stokes, who was able to score just two runs before getting dismissed to veteran off-spinner Ashwin. England was 103/5. Joe Root was the long warrior left at the end of the first session, with England reaching the 100-run mark in 20.3 overs. Earlier, India resumed their innings from 473/8 on the board, leading by 255 runs with Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah unbeaten at 27* and 19*, respectively. However, the pair was able to add just four runs to their overnight partnership before they were sent back to the pavilion at 477. With innings folded, the hosts led the visitors by 259 runs. Meanwhile, England veteran pacer James Anderson etched his name in history on Saturday, becoming the first-ever pacer in the history of the sport to complete 700 wickets in Test cricket and, overall, only the third bowler to do so. For the visitors, Shoaib Bashir (5/173) was the pick of the bowlers for England. Tom Hartley, and James Anderson took two wickets, while Ben Stokes got a wicket. England won the toss and opted to bat first. They were bundled out for 218 in their first inning. Zak Crawley (79 in 108 balls, with 11 fours and a six) top-scored for England, while Jonny Bairstow (29), and Joe Root (26) also chipped in crucial runs. Kuldeep Yadav (5/72) and Ravichandran Ashwin (4/51) were the top bowlers for India. India took a 259-run lead over England in their first innings, scoring 477 runs in reply to England's first innings score of 218 runs. In their first innings, India once again dominated with the bat. The top order, consisting of Yashasvi Jaiswal (57 in 58 balls, with five fours and three sixes), skipper Rohit Sharma (103 in 162 balls, with 13 fours and three sixes) and Shubman Gill (110 in 150 balls, with 12 fours and five sixes) dominated the English bowling. An 104-run opening partnership between Rohit and Jaiswal and a 171-run stand for the second wicket between Rohit and Gill helped India get the lead quite easily. Debutant Devdutt Padikkal (65 in 103 balls, with 10 fours and a six) and Sarfaraz Khan (56 in 60 balls, with eight fours and a six) also played crucial knocks. The duo of Sarfaraz and Padikkal put on 97 runs for the fourth wicket. After dismissing Sarfaraz, England made a small comeback in to the game with some quick wickets as Padikkal, Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja (15 each) and Ravichandran Ashwin (0) were removed by the spin duo of Hartley and Bashir, with Bashir getting Sarfaraz, Padikkal and Jurel. India experienced a mini-collapse, going from 279/3 to 428/8. The pair of Kuldeep Yadav (30 in 69 balls, with two fours) and Jasprit Bumrah (20 in 64 balls, with two fours) put up a 49-run stand to take India to 477, not only frustrating English bowlers with their steady defence, but also securing a healthy lead. England won the toss and opted to bat first. They were bundled out for 218 in their first inning. Zak Crawley (79 in 108 balls, with 11 fours and a six) top-scored for England. He had a 64-run opening stand with Ben Duckett (27 in 58 balls, with four boundaries). Later, Jonny Bairstow (29 in 18 balls, with two fours and two sixes) and Joe Root (26 in 56 balls, with four boundaries) played decent knocks and England was in a comfortable position at 175/3. Then the spin trio of Kuldeep, Jadeja and Ashwin struck and triggered a massive batting collapse, which saw England implode for 218 runs. Kuldeep (5/72) and Ashwin (4/51) were the top bowlers for India. (ANI)

Cricket-England's ageless Anderson enters 700 test wicket club

Cricket-England's ageless Anderson enters 700 test wicket club England's James Anderson became on Saturday only the third bowler, and the first seamer, to claim 700 test wickets, in the fifth and final test against India in Dharamsala. The 41-year-old, already the most successful fast bowler in test cricket's history, entered his 187th test two wickets short of the 700-mark. Anderson clean bowled Shubman Gill on Friday and Kuldeep Yadav became his 700th victim on day three of the contest, when the batter fell caught behind. Anderson held the ball aloft while his team mates mobbed him. The travelling 'Barmy Army' fans gave him a standing ovation as Anderson led his team off the field at the innings break at the picturesque Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association stadium. Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan leads the all-time chart with 800 wickets from 133 tests, followed by Australia spin great Shane Warne (708). While Anderson is immensely skillful, his remarkable longevity, attributed to his smooth action, as a fast bowler continues to amaze the followers of the game. At the foothills of the Himalayas, James Anderson has reached the insurmountable summit for a fast bowler in test match cricket, former England bowler Steven Finn told the BBC. Nobody will ever take more than 700 test wickets as a fast bowler. He's a remarkable man and player and he's still going. Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar praised Anderson's stellar achievement on X, formerly known as Twitter. A fast bowler playing for 22 years and performing so consistently to be able to take 700 wickets would have sounded like fiction until Anderson actually made it happen ... Tendulkar wrote. Former England captain Alastair Cook also marvelled at the seamer's durability. I sat in a selection meeting 10 years ago and we were discussing ... when we were going to rest and rotate him because he can't keep playing all those test matches, Cook said on TNT Sports. His hunger to get better and win games of cricket for England is unbelievable. The physical challenges he has overcome to be able to play 190 test matches is a joke and his skill is a joke. Anderson made his England debut in a one-day international against Zimbabwe in 2002 and played his first test five months later against Australia. In his 22 years in international cricket, the Lancashire player has established himself as a complete bowler, who can make the ball talk with his command on swing bowling - both traditional and reverse.

On the first day of the fifth and final India-England Test at Dharamsala, Kuldeep hit his straps and he was irresistible. Once again, England had got off to a bright start, getting to 137 for 2 at a fast clip. Zak Crawley, who was careful against the quick bowlers in an initial probing spell, settled in against the spinners, using his long reach to good effect. Kuldeep then produced a bit of magic, drawing the batsman forward and getting the ball to break sharply to defeat the bat and crash into the stumps. Crawley had made 79 of Englands runs at the time.

If you play regularly, you get more confident about your bowling: Kuldeep Yadav

If you play regularly, you get more confident about your bowling: Kuldeep Yadav A regular place in the playing eleven during the ongoing series has done wonders to Kuldeep Yadav's confidence and the left-arm wrist spinner believes that he has got sharper with better game awareness due to consistent opportunities. Having made his debut at this very venue in 2017, Kuldeep in past seven years have only made 12 Test appearances, with four of them on trot in the current series against England. On the opening day of the fifth Test against England, Kuldeep set the ball rolling with five top-order wickets. ''If you play regularly, you get more confident about your bowling. Game awareness also comes with it. It is very important to keep playing regularly as it makes your bowling sharp,'' said the 29-year-old, who now has 17 wickets in the series with hopefully one more innings to increase his tally. Chances In Tests were sporadic in past few years, then there was dip in form and also a knee surgery for the talented spinner, who made technical adjustments to get his mojo back. ''In the beginning, it was very challenging. I had changed my action, it took six to eight months to find that rhythm. Now, things are all set and I am enjoying it. In Ranchi, I tried something with my run-up (faster approach to the crease as it was a slow surface), and I practise that regularly.'' Kuldeep bowled a highly productive 15-over spell on either side of the lunch break on day one, something he says he has been able to do of late purely because of his improved fitness. Following a knee surgery in September 2021, Kuldeep changed his fitness routine, increased his pace and straightened his run-up. After a five-wicket haul that helped India bowl out England for 218 on a flat track, Kuldeep said it is only because his targeted fitness regimen that he has been able to make those changes and bowl long spells. ''Bowling is all about fitness. I have worked a lot on my fitness in the last 18 months. I have been able to make certain changes in my bowling because of improved fitness,'' Kuldeep said at the day-end media conference. ''I am doing specific things on my fitness which is allowing me to bowl long spells. At Rajkot (12 overs in first innings) and Ranchi (14 overs in second innings) also, I bowled log spells. I have gotten used to it.'' Kuldeep has been getting more bite from flat surfaces compared to the other spinners and that was also evident on Thursday when he got the ball to drift and turn back sharply to castle Zak Crawley. The ball turned from imaginary fifth off-stump and ended up shattering the England opener's leg stump. ''I was using the drift well on both sides. I am very happy that we were able to get them out for 218 as it is a good wicket. As a spinner, you focus on the length and try to hit good length. ''At times, you change plans as per conditions. If you are getting drift, then you have to think about the lines as well. The more you play, the easier it becomes to control. ''Speed also matters. If you bowl at a certain speed and change your pace, it gets difficult for the batters,'' said the cricketer from Kanpur. Have become a lot more mature now ====================== Dharamsala is a special venue for Kuldeep as he made his Test debut here back in 2017. Following a successful debut, Kuldeep's career did not follow an upward trajectory though now he seems to have found the best version of himself. ''It was an interesting phase. It has been seven years since (debut). I have become a lot more mature about my bowling. I understand my game a lot better now. I know how to read the wicket.'' On his stellar effort on day one, he said: ''The wicket is good. It is unlikely to break considering the cold weather. It was cold in the first hour. The ball was gripping and was just trying to put revs on the ball.'' Ash bhai told me I have 35 balls, and asked me to keep this one ======================================= Kuldeep and Ashwin shared an emotional moment after England got all out shortly after tea. Considering Ashwin is playing his 100th Test, Kuldeep wanted him to keep the ball and his more experienced wanted the other way round. The premier off-spinner cleaned up with the tail with a four wicket haul. On that exchange, he said: ''Ash bhai told me I have 35 balls, and asked me to keep this one.'' PTI BS KHS KHS AM AM

Disappointing day, we were hoping for lot more runs after winning toss: Trescothick

Disappointing day, we were hoping for lot more runs after winning toss: Trescothick England assistant coach Marcus Trescothick on Tuesday said the team expected to score a lot more than the 218 it managed on a flat track here and gave due credit to standout India spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Having bowled out England shortly after tea, India raced to 135 for one in 30 overs on the same surface on the opening day of the fifth and final Test. ''A disappointing day. We were hoping for a lot more with winning the toss. We're a bit behind the game, it's not quite the score we wanted. It was challenging first up, there was more swing and seam than we expected there to be. ''We got to lunch quite nicely, had a bit of luck here and there and managed to get to that point where we were okay and the afternoon was where it all changed. Kuldeep spun the ball hard, more than we've seen from anyone else so far,'' said Trescothick at close of play. Kuldeep got the ball to drift and turn sharply en route to his fourth five-wicket haul in Tests. England batters failed to pick him, especially his googly. ''We could all see there were some deliveries bowled that had more spin than we'd seen for a while and more spin than anyone else has got on this pitch so far on day one. Give him credit, he bowled well. ''When you get a wrist-spinner with variations, of course if you don't pick it then you're in a lot of trouble but he also bowled deliveries they did pick and they spun and they managed to still miss them,'' said the former England batter. Support staff members named as substitutes for Dharamsala Test ======================================== Trescothick and fellow member of the support staff Paul Collingwood were named as substitutes for the ongoing Test with England down to 13 due to Ollie Robinson's illness. Trescothick is hoping that his services won't be required. ''I'm very hopeful that I never get on there (laughs), if I do I'll be standing at long-leg or something like that. I think Colly's a bit more hopeful than I am. He's chomping at the bit to get on there! ''I think we've worked out a plan; it's not going to happen, we're not going to get on the field, we've got enough reserves in place. If it was slip or short-leg I might get on but if it was in the outfield then Colly can definitely get out and run around,'' added the assistant coach.

Cricket-England 100-2 in Dharamsala after Kuldeep strikes twice

Cricket-England 100-2 in Dharamsala after Kuldeep strikes twice Zak Crawley gave England a decent start but the tourists lost vice-captain Ollie Pope on the stroke of lunch and slipped to 100-2 on the opening day of the fifth and final test against India on Thursday. Crawley was batting on 61, his fourth half-century of the series, while Kuldeep Yadav claimed the wickets of both Pope (11) and opener Ben Duckett (27). England captain Ben Stokes elected to bat on a belter of a track at the picturesque Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in the foothills of the Himalayas. India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested in the previous test in Ranchi, returned to trouble the England openers with the moving new ball. Crawley, then on 29, was adjudged not out to Mohammed Siraj after being rapped on the pad, which prompted a vociferous lbw appeal. India reviewed the decision but could not get rid of the batter and England reached the 50-mark in the 15th over. Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep broke the 64-run stand in his first over when he dismissed Duckett with Shubman Gill taking a spectacular catch. The opener wanted to clear the leg side ropes but ended up offering a leading edge over the cover position. Gill turned and sprinted 20 yards before diving full length to land with the ball secure in his grip. Crawley survived another review before bringing up his 64-ball fifty but England suffered a late blow when Kuldeep had Pope stumped for 11. Pope could not read Kuldeep's googly and was so far down the track that Dhruv Jurel had all the time in the world to stump him. Batter Devdutt Padikkal is making his test debut in the match for India, who hold an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series.
