Shubman Gill Accepts T20 World Cup Axing, Focus Shifts to ODIs
Test and ODI skipper Shubman Gill on Saturday said he respected the Indian selectors' shock decision to drop him from the squad for the T20 World Cup on home soil, calling it destiny. The 26-year-old will lead the one-day team in three matches against New Zealand starting Sunday in Vadodara before many of India's players head into a five-match T20 series. Indian selectors surprisingly axed the batsman from the T20 squad after he scored only 291 runs in his past 15 matchesin the game's shortest format at an average of 24.25. Firstly, it is my belief that in my life, I am where I am supposed to be. Whatever is written in my destiny, I will have it, Gill told reporters. As a player I want to win games for my team, but having said that, I respect the selectors' decision. I wish the T20 team the very best. I hope that they win the World Cup. India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, are the defending champions in the T20 World Cup which takes place in India and Sri Lanka between February 7 and March 8. Before that, India will play 50-over matches against New Zealand with the spotlight on stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Kohli and Rohit play only the ODI format since retiring from T20s, following the World Cup triumph in Barbados in 2024, and Test cricket. Gill said the presence of the two greats was invaluable for any captain. Definitely when you have these two people in your team, it makes your life a lot easier, said Gill. And whenever you are in a tough situation, they have been in those kind of situations and conditions many times in their life, so you can always go to them and see how they are thinking or what they would do. And that piece of information is very valuable for any captain. The 37-year-old Kohli and Rohit, 38, have been in top batting form in international and domestic cricket, scoring centuries and runs to turn back the clock. Meanwhile, New Zealand's ODI captain Michael Bracewell is keen to make the most of the Indian conditions ahead of the T20 World Cup. It's always fun coming over and playing here, said Bracewell, a left-hand batter and off-spinner. A month before the T20 World Cup, getting used to these conditions. You won't be in the same venue but in general, getting used to the nature of the surfaces that they have.

Shreyas Should Be Mindful Of Risk Of Hurrying And Wanting To Start Well, Says Bangar
Vijay Hazare Trophy: Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar has cautioned Shreyas Iyer against rushing into his comeback, adding that he should be mindful of the risk of getting into hurry while batting and the urge to start well in the ODI series opener against New Zealand, to be held in Vadodara on Sunday. Iyer, India's ODI vice-captain, is set to return to international cricket after suffering a serious spleen injury while attempting to take a catch of Alex Carey in the third ODI in Sydney on October 25. He was admitted to a hospital with internal bleeding from a spleen laceration and underwent a minor operation for the same. He missed India's 2-1 ODI series win over South Africa, but has recovered since and proved his fitness by playing Mumbais last two league games in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) in Jaipur, where he scored 82 and 45. The one risk is that you can get hurried, wanting to start well and contribute immediately. That is what Shreyas Iyer should be mindful of. But he has made a good comeback, playing well for his home team in domestic cricket. He understands ODI cricket very well. He has been in international cricket for years. Since 2023, the way he played in the World Cup, dominating spin, was a treat to watch. His skills will be very useful. In the last series, Ruturaj Gaikwad got the number four spot for his spin play. Now Shreyas Iyer returns and takes that spot back, so his strong point will be used fully, said Bangar on JioStar. Bangar also weighed in on Shubman Gills early days as Indias ODI captain, describing him as a work in progress skipper. It is early days. Shubman Gill had a great Test tour of England and a tough one in Australia. You cannot judge him too much right now. It is a work in progress. The more he captains, the better he will get. He has good support on the field, with access to the experience of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for leadership decisions under pressure. He is going to grow and eventually become a good ODI captain, he said. On Gill India in ODIs at home, Bangar pointed to spinfriendly conditions and a settled batting order as his advantages against an inexperienced New Zealand outfit. Leading in home ODIs should not be a problem for Shubman Gill. You are playing in your own backyard. You have fantastic spinners like Kuldeep Yadav who can do the job. He has good support on the field, with access to the experience of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for leadership decisions under pressure. He is going to grow and eventually become a good ODI captain, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Also, with high-performing batters like Shreyas Iyer coming back and KL Rahul being consistent in a different role, there are many batting positives. From an Indian view, playing at home means spin can be a strength again, especially in the middle overs, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Sciver-Brunt is the only player in the tournament with 1000+ runs to her name, thanks to a brilliant 2025 campaign that saw her script history. The England skipper, during MIs victorious WPL 2025 campaign, became the first and only cricketer to score 500+ runs in a single season so far. The previous record was Perrys 347, achieved during her team, Royal Challengers Bengalurus (RCB), victorious WPL 2024 season. The ongoing 2026 season will witness a race between Lanning and Sciver-Brunt, as the two senior pros aim to attain the No. 1 position in the list of all-time top run scorers of the tournament.

She played for Delhi Capitals in the first three seasons, scoring 952 runs in 27 matches, helping the franchise reach the finals in all three WPL seasons so far. She was released by DC before WPL 2026 and subsequently acquired by UP Warriorz, who appointed her as the team captain for the ongoing season.

1st ODI: Gill Says Having Rohit And Kohli In Team makes Life A Lot More Easier
Vijay Hazare Trophy: Indias ODI captain Shubman Gill shared his thoughts on playing alongside two legendary figures, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, as the stalwarts continue to dominate the 50-over format across domestic and international stages. The Men in Blue are set to face New Zealand in a three-match ODI series starting Sunday, with the first game scheduled to be played at the BCA Stadium (Kotambi) in Vadodara. The match will see Rohit and Kohli back in India colours, and Gill marking his return to captaincy in the format after being ruled out of Indias previous series against South Africa. Among the two players you have named, one is one of the greatest openers (Rohit) of all time in ODIs, and Virat bhai is one of the greatest ODI batsmen ever. So, definitely when you have these two people in your team, it makes your life a lot easier, an elated Gill told the reporters at the pre-match press conference. And whenever you are in that kind of situation, if you are in a tough situation, they always have been in those kinds of situations and conditions many times in their life. So, you can always go to them and see what they are thinking or what they would do. And that piece of information is very valuable for any captain, he added. Rohit and Kohli recently played a couple of Vijay Hazare Trophy matches for their respective state teams, Mumbai and Delhi, and both notched centuries in winning causes. Moreover, Kohli's century against Andhra Pradesh also made him the fastest player to reach 16,000 List A runs, and he is now just two centuries away from equalling the legendary Sachin Tendulkar's record of 60 List A hundreds.

1st ODI: India Hope To Extend Winning Streak Against Inexperienced New Zealand (preview)
Kotambi International Stadium: All eyes will once again be on stalwarts and former captains Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma when India take on New Zealand in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Kotambi International Stadium in Vadodara on Sunday. The venue is set to host its first-ever mens ODI game, and the match will mark the return of mens internationals at the venue. The last mens international game played here was also between India and New Zealand when the two sides squared off on December 4, 2010, and current head coach Gautam Gambhir stood out for the Men in Blue with a magnificent century. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have quit the T20 and Test formats, will take the field again after the recent series against South Africa -- taking on the BlackCaps, who have formed a rather inexperienced squad for the series but are ready to challenge. The series could very well be Rohit and Kohlis final appearance in Indian colours until July this year, as it's the teams last ODI series before the T20 World Cup and the Indian Premier League (IPL). The series will mark Shubman Gills first assignment since being left out of Indias T20 World Cup squad, with the 25-year-old set to return as captain of the ODI team. He will be chasing his first series win as Indias ODI captain, having been ruled out of the previous ODI series against South Africa and losing the assignment against Australia in October down under. New Zealands batting will rely heavily on Devon Conways firepower. The 34-year-old has a strong record in India, scoring 527 ODI runs there since 2023. Daryl Mitchell is another key player to watch, as the World No. 3 has been in excellent form in white-ball formats. On the eve of the match, both Virat and Rohit put in lengthy practice sessions, spending close to an hour and a half facing Indian pacers, spinners, and throwdown specialists, following their two appearances each in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The duo has been busy turning back time in internationals. Kohli averaged a whopping 151 against South Africa and is in no mood to slow down. Rohit, meanwhile, is the No. 1 ODI batter and has a hefty average of 52.9 against New Zealand since 2023. Vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is set to make a comeback after being ruled out of international cricket due to a spleen injury he sustained during the tour of Australia last year, and will look to continue his dominance at No. 4. As for the BlackCaps, their inexperienced pace attack will be put to the test against the strong Indian batting lineup. The visitors will rely hugely on Kyle Jamieson, who is the most-experienced pacer in their squad with 20 ODI caps. New Zealand are on a winning streak in ODIs, having won nine straight games since losing the 2025 Champions Trophy final to India. However, India, who will enter the series as favourites, have won their last seven ODIs against the BlackCaps and will look to extend the streak.

New Zealand's Vellore-born Spinner Adithya Ashok Relishes Prospect Of Bowling To Kohli, Rohit
New Zealand Cricket: New Zealands Vellore-born leg-spinner Adithya Ashok says he is excited to test his bowling against India batting greats Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the upcoming three-game ODI series starting in Vadodara on Sunday. Ashok, 23, was born in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, before moving to Auckland, New Zealand, at age four. The leg-spinner has played two ODIs and a T20I, and with New Zealand not having many regulars in the 50-over series, it offers Ashok the chance to bowl to two of cricket's modern-day legendary batters. It's a very exciting opportunity and challenge to play against those guys and, again, test yourself against people that are considered great and definitely are great. The things that they've done for the game and the things that they've achieved across their careers have been pretty phenomenal. So, again, for myself to go and potentially play against them and go out there and learn and try and understand and touch and feel greatness is really exciting for me, said Ashok, while replying to an IANS query in a select virtual interaction on Thursday. Ashok sports the En vazhi thani vazhi (My way is a unique way) tattoo on his bowling arm, which was a famous punchline from superstar Rajinikanth in his movie Padayappa inked on his bowling arm. It's a tribute to the actor, as well as to Adithya's late grandfather, with whom he watched the movie before his demise. The leg-spinners last visit to India was for honing his bowling skills in a two-week spin camp at the CSK Academy in Chennai under lead coach Sriram Krishnamurthy, and he hopes to use that knowledge to the fullest when bowling to Kohli and Rohit. So, again, I'm going in with an opportunity mindset and a growth mindset and a really process-driven mindset where I'm trying to sit there and obviously bring my point of difference to the table in terms of what I bring currently and what I do best to the table and obviously then try and compete. But I'm really excited to play against Rohit, Kohli, and everyone else in that team. They're all phenomenal players, for sure, he added. Rather than viewing the series as pressure-laden, Ashok is focused on incremental improvement and soaking in the learning experience of bowling in India. I think you hit the nail on the head, and in terms of the word they use in terms of opportunity, and that's a big thing around this environment. The way that I've tried to go about things is being really process driven and understanding that if I can go away from this series and have learnt new methods or learnt about myself as a cricketer and learnt about myself as a person and just really enjoyed the experience, I think that puts me in a richer position than anything else. Obviously, success would be great and things like that. But I think if you're able to remove expectation and remove the emotions surrounding the outcome, I think that almost puts you in the best position to learn and get better. My focus has always been firmly around how can I get better - because if I'm continuing to get one percent better every day, then I feel like the results kind of take care of themselves. So, to answer your question, it's just an opportunity and an exciting one to play in a country where cricket means so much and where cricket is constantly buzzing. It's a really exciting opportunity for me, he elaborated. Ashok, who represented New Zealand in the 2020 Under-19 World Cup in South Africa, has role models in Australias leg-spin great Shane Warne and fellow countryman Ish Sodhi. He also credits former national spinners, his mentor Tarun Nethula, and Paul Wiseman, who is the talent identification manager in New Zealand Cricket, as vital figures in his life, especially in recovering from a back surgery done by Rowan Schouten, who operated on pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, and Mayank Yadav. Two very important people in my career and in my life, for sure. Obviously, having the back thing was a major setback, which was a strange time in my life, I guess. Being a young spinner as well and having the nature of that injury was probably pretty rare. I'm not sure if other spinners that I've actually had to undergo that surgery. So, those two have been really, really important in my game to date, but also especially in my return to play. We just spoke a little bit more about how we can potentially be a little bit more upright and kind of, I guess, at the crease, make sure that I'm constantly moving forwards and over my front leg and things like that to make sure that I'm not in an extended position with my back, or harming my lower back a little bit more, he added. The duo also worked on the technical changes around Ashoks bowling action to prevent stress on his lower back. When I'm rotating, making sure that I'm not rotating from a lumbar extension position, which I think caused a bit of that stress along that joint and those vertebrae. So, those two have been really, really important and continue to be really important, he said.

So, constantly touching base with both of them and they're very, very important people in my kind of support network, concluded Ashok, who has all the necessary ingredients to continue writing his own path of establishing himself in the New Zealand set-up across formats.

Shreyas Iyer cleared to join India squad for NZ ODIs
India batter will link up with the side on Friday, ahead of Sunday's ODI series opener against NZ in Vadodara
The Harmanpreet Kaur: Two-time winners Mumbai Indians (MI) remain the team to beat in the 2026 Women's Premier League (WPL), but will face stronger challenges this season from other sides, said former India captain Anjum Chopra. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led MI are the reigning WPL champions and have won two of the three editions since the tournament's inception in 2023. Anybody can challenge. It's not that MI can't be challenged. We saw that in season two, also, where they were challenged by RCB and sometimes the Gujarat Giants. But because of the belief that they are a well-oiled unit, they know how to win championships, we always feel, no, no, no, the Mumbai Indians is the team to beat. It's like whether in the IPL or WPL, they are a team to beat, and that is actually a fact as well. But it should be a keenly contested one because now it's not just the foreign players who are doing well. It's also the Indian talent who has started doing well. They've just won a World Cup, Anjum Chopra told IANS in an exclusive conversation on the eve of the competitions commencement. MI have key uncapped Indian players in G. Kamalini (retained), as well as Sanskriti Gupta, and Sajeevan Sajana. They have also added promising talents such as Rahila Firdous, Poonam Khemnar, Triveni Vasistha, and Nalla Reddy, after passing through the eyes of their eagle-eyed scouts. The youngsters and uncapped cricketers Mumbai Indians unearth -- talk about Rahila Firdaus, who's been picked as well. These players have done well in domestic cricket. If Mumbai is scouting, and you believe in that Mumbai scouting, you would feel that these players are the ones that they'll keep an eye on. How Charani came in for Delhi Capitals and straightaway walked into the Indian team and became a world champion. Within a span of 10 months, the world has changed for her. So, Mumbai also has those kinds of players in their lineup. Yes, they can be challenged. The opposition teams, how much force they come up with, what game plan they come up with, can they get one up on the defending champions, is for them to plan and deliver, added Anjum. With the West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews set to open the batting, MI face decisions over her opening partner after an injured Yastika Bhatia was acquired by the Gujarat Giants. Anjum thinks the time is ripe for Kamalini to become the opener after being a lower-order finisher in the 2025 season-winning campaign. I think Kamalini can open the innings with Hayley Matthews right at the top. I think that can actually be looked at as well. Other than that, possibly they'll have to go ahead with one of the younger players also in the playing eleven because in the middle order, they've already got Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur in the mix, identified with Amelia Kerr. So, either they go with Kamalini right at the top in the batting department or possibly look at a younger player coming in who they feel will be able to deliver at the top with Hayley Matthews, she added. The tournament will be played at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai and Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, both known for batting-friendly conditions that could favour MIs enviable all-round depth. Conditions will be very good for batting if you have to look at either of the venues. Because we've already seen Navi Mumbai, we know how good the conditions are. When you get to Kotambi Stadium, we've seen that the pitches are so nice to bat on. With the dew settling in, what are the challenges for the bowlers in the second half? That is one area that needs to be addressed. So, most captains might want to just win the toss and bowl so that they're bowling in the second half because of the dew. Other than that, batting-wise, conditions should be friendly, said Anjum. She also suggested that boundary dimensions be extended in WPL 2026. I just hope that the boundaries are pushed back slightly. That might just happen. Although I don't know the exact dimensions right now, I guess that can happen. At least by another five meters, that can be pushed back. MI have also brought in new coaching personnel Lisa Keightley takes over as head coach, while Kristen Beams is the spin-bowling coach - to complement the existing championship-winning culture built under former head coach Charlotte Edwards. She also suggested that boundary dimensions be extended in WPL 2026. I just hope that the boundaries are pushed back slightly. That might just happen. Although I don't know the exact dimensions right now, I guess that can happen. At least by another five meters, that can be pushed back.

But if you have some fresh perspective coming in, it also helps the team in different ways. So, I'm sure the thinking will be no less. I've just heard two days back from their camp that there is no pressure, but you can always try and win the championship, concluded Anjum. Article Source: IANS
India vs New Zealand in ODIs: Numbers, moments and the story so far
India and New Zealand renew their competitive ODI rivalry with a three-match series kicking off January 11 in Vadodara. With a history of close contests and iconic performances, India holds a slight edge in their 120 encounters. Key players like Tendulkar and Kohli for India, and Taylor and Williamson for New Zealand, have shaped this enduring battle.
WPL 2026: Former India Captain Anjum Chopra Feels UP Warriorz Look Like The Strongest Team
Like UP Warriorz: Former India captain Anjum Chopra believes UP Warriorz (UPW) look like the strongest team ahead of the 2026 Women's Premier League (WPL), starting in Navi Mumbai on Friday. At the same time, Anjum cautioned that on-field performance will ultimately determine the winner of the competition on February 5 in Vadodara. Before last years mega auction, UPW released all players and retained uncapped Delhi batter Shweta Sehrawat. With a new head coach in Abhishek Nayar, UPW have a new skipper in Meg Lanning, the most tactically astute captain in women's cricket. Apart from buying back Deepti Sharma, Sophie Ecclestone, Kranti Gaud, and Kiran Navgire, UPW have match-winners like Shikha Pandey, Deandra Dottin, Chloe Tryon, and Phoebe Litchfield in their ranks, as they aim to win the WPL for the first time. You would want to feel so (that all five teams are evenly matched), because obviously we've just won a 50-over World Cup and we have our Indian talent, which is doing well. Plus, new players have come in, and that confidence means every team is equally and evenly matched. Yes, in a way, they are evenly matched, as nobody's going to pick someone as a slightly weaker team or not a good team or not a champion team. Like UP Warriorz, they out-and-out look like a gun side, and they are as well. But cricket obviously is played on the park. So you'll wait for them to come up against maybe a Mumbai or a Gujarat and then see how they are shaping up. So, possibly UP on paper looks the strongest to me. But when they come onto the park, we'll see how other teams are lining up and how everybody else is also picking their playing eleven because it's going to be a nice challenge to get their balance right, Anjum told IANS in an exclusive conversation on the eve of the competitions commencement. The shake-up of their squad and rebuilding everything from scratch has lent UPW a stronger look as compared to the 2025 season, where inconsistencies, too much dependence on certain individuals, and balance issues meant they finished at the bottom of the points table. You have to probably understand what those shortcomings are that the team feels are. By putting everybody back into the auction, they said, let's start afresh. Even if we have the luxury of buying back those players that we are releasing, that's okay. But let's take a challenge of putting everyone back in the auction and from there on, pick everything that we want as a team unit. Even those match winners and especially Deepti Sharma, after a World Cup (Player of the Tournament) performance, to go back into the auction, and apart from Shweta Sehrawat getting retained, they probably felt that nothing was going right for them, and so, let's start everything afresh. How do they structure their batting lineup with India and non-India players? The way they went hard and strong for Deepti Sharma in the auction was very much evident. The fact that they said, Fine, we want our bowling with Sophie Ecclestone and Deepti there, we want more fast bowlers, showed UPWs seriousness. They went with the experience of Shikha Pandey, and even if they had to not go ahead for Alyssa Healy and try to get Meg Lanning into the line-up, it's okay. So, it's fair enough in terms of how they went in, and I think they'll be a pretty pleased lot getting into this tournament, elaborated Anjum. However, Anjum pointed to one potential weakness in the UP Warriorz setup -- their wicketkeeping options. With Alyssa no longer in the squad, the franchise appears to be considering Australian batter Phoebe Litchfield as a wicketkeeping option, a move Anjum views with some reservation. They also have the makeshift option in Shweta and a specialist choice in uncapped Shipra Giri, too. I'm not surprised if they are saying that Phoebe Litchfield can don the gloves as well. Although I think she is a great asset in the field, and if you're putting her behind the stumps, you're taking away that asset of a wonderful fielder.

But I would still say, if Phoebe has to keep, then the brilliance of her in the field not being there is probably a help for the batters, she concluded. Article Source: IANS

Amelia Kerr Key For Mumbai Indians' Success In WPL 2026: Saba Karim
DY Patil Sports Academy: Defending champions Mumbai Indians will begin their Womens Premier League 2026 campaign with a settled and championship-ready core, with experts identifying the re-signing of Amelia Kerr as a key factor in the franchises title defence. The team brought the New Zealand player for 3 crore in the WPL Mega Auction held last year. Former India wicketkeeper Saba Karim said Kerr was Mumbai Indians primary target at the auction as they looked to rebuild their title-winning combination. Mumbai Indians knew that to rebuild the same title-winning team, they had to bring back one or two players they had released. Their main target was Amelia Kerr. She has performed very well, Karim said on JioStar. MI must have been disappointed to release her earlier, which is why they paid a higher price to bring her back. They wanted the core group that won them the WPL title last season, and they have managed to bring that core back. The money invested in Amelia Kerr is worth it for MI, he added. Former India captain Mithali Raj echoed similar views, describing Kerrs return as both a strategic and emotional decision for the franchise. Amelia Kerr being re-signed by Mumbai Indians is also an emotional buy. They wanted her in a combination that has worked for them. Mumbai Indians have won the title twice in three seasons with that core, so it was important for them to have her back, Mithali said. Former India batter Anjum Chopra, meanwhile, praised the overall balance of the Mumbai Indians squad, pointing to the mix of youth and experience as a key strength heading into the new season. I am excited by the balance Mumbai Indians have. They come in with a good mix of youth and experience. Retaining Amanjot Kaur is an interesting move, but with the kind of talent MI consistently assembles, they will certainly be a team to watch, Chopra said.
