Good Opportunity To Try Gurnoor And Prince Against Afghanistan With ODI WC In Mind, Says Agarkar
ODI World Cup: Chief selector Ajit Agarkar on Tuesday said the inclusion of Gurnoor Brar and Prince Yadav in Indias ODI squad for the three-match series against Afghanistan was a conscious move to test promising youngsters, keeping in mind the 2027 Mens ODI World Cup, to be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. Prince bagged 18 wickets in eight matches for Delhi in the 2025/26 Vijay Hazare Trophy at an average of 19.27. He ended up as the sides leading wicket-taker and the fifth-highest wicket-taker overall in the 50-over competition. Gurnoor, who also earned a call-up to the Test team for the one-off match in New Chandigarh and has been a regular in the India A team, picked up 11 wickets in eight matches in the same tournament. Though Gurnoor hasnt played an IPL 2026 game yet for the Gujarat Titans, Prince has continued his impressive show by picking 16 scalps for Lucknow Super Giants. With no Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, and Harshit Rana due to workload management and injuries, Gurnoor and Prince have got their chances to be in the 50-over India set-up. I mean, this was a good opportunity. There have been a couple of injuries around, and we have not picked Bumrah for this team. There are a couple of guys who are injured and who were part of the one-day squad before. With Gurnoor, we have seen a lot of promise over the last season and a half, now a tall guy with a bit of pace. Again, keeping the South African (ODI) World Cup in mind, we are obviously going to try a few guys who at that point might be useful if they keep developing. Prince Yadav has shown a lot of promise through the domestic season. I think he had a really good Vijay Hazare Trophy. Obviously, he has bowled well in the IPL. But we have seen that he has grown a lot as a bowler over the last year or so. Again, has the necessary skills to succeed with the white ball. So, it's a great opportunity with these three one-day games coming up because with the way the rules are structured and so much is in favour of the batsmen, you are obviously looking at guys with regard to conditions in South Africa who have a chance of succeeding. There might be a few more we try over the course of the next few series, and these two are the ones that we have zeroed in on at this point, Agarkar said, while replying to a question from IANS, in a virtual press conference on Tuesday. Left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Harsh Dubey has been given a callup to both ODI and Test teams, after being a regular in the India A team and playing a huge hand in Vidarbha winning the 2024/25 Ranji Trophy and captaining the side to winning the 2025/26 Vijay Hazare Trophy. On his call-up, Agarkar added, I mean, that's the role we are looking at anyway. With the Test team, you can see that there is a lot of transition happening at this point. So, we are looking at options. Obviously, there have been a couple of players who have moved away from Test cricket. In one-day cricket, its the same thing - you want guys who can contribute with the bat down the order. But also have the necessary skill to be a frontline spinner or a frontline seam bowler. We think he certainly fits the bill, and we are hopeful that when he gets that opportunity, he will show what he can do. He has shown it aplenty in domestic cricket, and we have seen enough over the last couple of years, maybe a little bit more, that he seems to have the necessary skill to succeed at this level. Agarkar also clarified that teenage left-handed opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will continue to gain exposure with the India A side, with him set to play in the 50-over tri-series in Sri Lanka, to be played from June 9-21. He has shown it aplenty in domestic cricket, and we have seen enough over the last couple of years, maybe a little bit more, that he seems to have the necessary skill to succeed at this level. Also Read: Live Cricket Score He has just got a hundred last time he played for India against South Africa. So, as impressive as Sooryavanshi has been, there are other guys who have done as well for India. So, look, we are very excited with what he has been doing in the IPL, and hopefully, he shows a bit of that when he travels with the A team. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch KKR Vs MI, Know All Details
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders head into Wednesdays IPL 2026 clash against Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens with their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. KKR have revived their campaign impressively after a poor first half of the season, winning five of their last six matches to stay in contention for the final playoff spot. However, with only 11 points so far, the equation remains simple: defeat Mumbai and keep their qualification chances alive. Even consecutive wins may not be enough for Kolkata, who also require favourable results involving Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals. The race for the last playoff berth remains intense despite Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad already confirming qualification. KKR will draw confidence from their strong recent performances at Eden Gardens, especially after posting 247/2 against Gujarat Titans in their last home game. The batting lineup has clicked at the right time, though injury concerns around Matheesha Pathirana and Varun Chakaravarthy remain a concern. Mumbai, meanwhile, are already out of the playoff race and are likely to continue testing combinations. Captain Hardik Pandya remains doubtful, while injuries to Quinton de Kock and Raj Bawa have weakened the squad. However, Suryakumar Yadav has rejoined the team and could lead the side. Historically, MI have dominated the rivalry, winning 25 of 36 meetings, including their earlier clash this season.

IPL 2026: Mark Boucher Pays Emotional Tribute To MS Dhoni After SRH Beat CSK
Former South Africa: Former South Africa wicketkeeper Mark Boucher delivered an emotional tribute to MS Dhoni following Sunrisers Hyderabads playoff-clinching win over Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk, calling the legendary captain a global icon who changed the sport forever. Boucher reflected on Dhonis unmatched connection with fans and his lasting impact on world cricket.Ive been at Chepauk a few times, and Ive never seen fans go as crazy for anyone as they do for MS Dhoni, Boucher said on Star Sports. Its something I speak about even in South Africa. Whenever people say they want to experience the IPL, I always tell them they have to go to Chepauk to watch Dhoni, because thats when you truly understand how massive he is in this country. He has been an absolute legend of the game, not just in India but across the world. What he has done for cricket is astronomical. Boucher also hoped Dhoni would continue contributing to the game even after retirement. Whenever he eventually decides to move on, it will be a huge loss for the game. Hopefully, he continues to remain involved in cricket in some capacity, whether as a director of cricket for CSK or in another role, he said. He has an incredible cricket brain and an outstanding character. He will forever be remembered among the greats of the game. And from the rest of the cricketing world, thank you for everything youve done for the sport. Youve been an absolute superstar. The tribute was after SRH went on to win against CSK by 5 wickets at M. A. Chidambaram stadium to book a place in the IPL 2026 play-offs. Chasing 181 SRH rode on 70 not out by Ishan Kishan and a blazing 47 by Heinrich Klaasen to get past the finish line in 19 overs.

IPL 2026: Aaron Finch Backs Ruturaj Gaikwad Despite Difficult CSK Season
Chennai Super Kings: Former Australia captain Aaron Finch has thrown his support behind Ruturaj Gaikwad, insisting the Chennai Super Kings skipper should not be judged solely on one challenging IPL campaign. Finch's comments came after CSK suffered a five-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chepauk, a result that confirmed SRH's qualification for the IPL 2026 playoffs. It's important not to judge a player or a captain based on just one season because T20 cricket can be extremely demanding and unpredictable, Finch said on JioHotstar. From a captaincy perspective, Ruturaj Gaikwad has still led the side well, especially with his decisions and composure on the field. At times, form and leadership pressure can overlap, but for him it now comes down to rediscovering his batting rhythm and getting back to scoring consistently. The quality is still there, and sometimes in T20 cricket, phases like these can change very quickly. Gaikwad endured another difficult outing with the bat, scoring 15 as CSK posted 180/7 after being asked to bat first. Sanju Samson provided an explosive start with 27 off 13 balls, while Dewald Brevis top-scored with 44. SRH captain Pat Cummins led superbly with the ball, finishing with 3/28 and reaching the milestone of 200 T20 wickets. Sakib dismissed the dangerous Urvil Patel, while both young bowlers took two wickets each to help limit Chennai to 180/7.

IPL 2026: Varun Aaron Praises SRH Youngsters Sakib And Praful After Playoff-clinching Win
Chennai Super Kings: Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling coach Varun Aaron praised young bowlers Praful Hinge and Sakib Husain after teams secured their spot in the IPL 2026 playoffs with a five-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. In a discussion on JioHotstar SRH bowling coach Aaron attributed the duos growth this season to their eagerness and hard work. A lot of credit goes to Praful Hinge and Sakib Husain because both of them are very eager to learn and aim to play for India, Aaron said. When young players have that kind of ambition, dedication and hard work follow naturally. Both of them put in a lot of effort, not just during the tournament but also in the lead-up to the IPL. Our preparations with them started almost two months before the season. We organized specialized camps and worked closely on different aspects of their bowling. The most impressive thing was how open they were to learning, and now they are starting to see the results of all that hard work. The pair justified that trust with key performances during CSKs innings. Sakib dismissed the dangerous Urvil Patel, while both young bowlers took two wickets each to help limit Chennai to 180/7. Ishan Kishan then led SRHs chase with a steady 70 off 47 balls, while Klaasens 47 shifted the momentum significantly in the middle overs. Aaron also noted Klaasens growing role in the team. One area where we struggled last season was finishing games when the top order didnt fully deliver. This year, Heinrich Klaasen has taken on that responsibility very well, Aaron said. What makes him special is how easily he can change his approach, going from rotating the strike at a run-a-ball to suddenly scoring eight or nine runs an over. That transition is tough, but Klaasen makes it seem effortless. Aaron also noted Klaasens growing role in the team.

IPL 2026: Added Responsibility Of Captaincy Seems To Have Affected Gaikwads Batting, Says Ashwin
Chennai Super Kings: Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin believes that Ruturaj Gaikwad's batting has been affected by his new role as captain. This comes as the Chennai Super Kings work through a transition phase after MS Dhoni's departure. Speaking on JioHotstar after CSK's five-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chepauk, Ashwin discussed the challenges the team is facing now that SRH secured a playoff spot with their win. Chennai Super Kings are clearly in a transition phase in the post-Dhoni era. Its important for everyone involvedfans, stakeholders, and the teamto recognize that rebuilding takes time, Ashwin said. The standards and expectations associated with CSK are incredibly high because of their legacy, but this group needs space and patience as they evolve. At the same time, the added responsibility of captaincy seems to have affected Ruturaj Gaikwads batting. T20 cricket is already demanding, and carrying the burden of leadership alongside expectations from a franchise like CSK can have a significant impact on a player. SRH secured a spot in the IPL 2026 playoffs with a steady chase of 181 runs, boosted by Ishan Kishans 70 off 47 balls and Heinrich Klaasens aggressive 47 at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium.

IPL 2026: Ishan Deserves All The Credit, Says Pat Cummins After SRHs Playoff-clinching Win Over CSK
Chennai Super Kings: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins credited Ishan Kishan for playing a mature and match-winning innings after SRH defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by five wickets to qualify for the IPL 2026 playoffs at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday.

Heinrich Klaasen also played a crucial knock of 47 as SRH secured an important win and booked their place in the playoffs alongside the Gujarat Titans. Speaking after the match, Cummins said the conditions at Chepauk were challenging and praised his batters for adjusting well to the surface. Really satisfying. It's a bit different from how we normally play. Very happy. That partnership, it was really tough, we thought you need one or two really good partnerships, Cummins said after the victory. SRH are generally known for their aggressive batting approach, but Cummins admitted the team had to show patience on a pitch where the ball was not coming onto the bat easily. We are not famous for responsible batting. But yeah, when we were bowling, the ball was keeping low and not quite coming on. It was about par. They play here and know the wicket a lot better, he added. After losing Travis Head early in the chase, Kishan and Abhishek Sharma rebuilt the innings before the left-hander stitched another important stand with Klaasen. Kishan rotated the strike smartly and attacked whenever needed to keep SRH in control throughout the chase. Cummins especially praised Kishan for stepping up and guiding the innings under pressure. Winning today was what mattered. You cant give yourselves a better chance than what we have. Ishan deserves all the credit for leading the side for the first half, Cummins said.

IPL 2026: Everyone Gave Their Hearts Out, Says Gaikwad, Proud Despite CSK's Defeat To SRH
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad praised his teams fighting effort despite suffering a five-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 63 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Monday. The loss daunted five-time champion CSKs playoff hopes, while Sunrisers Hyderabad booked their place in the IPL 2026 playoffs after successfully chasing down 181 with six balls to spare. Speaking after the match, Gaikwad said CSK remained in the contest for most of the chase and credited his players for showing character despite missing several key players during the season. Good game of cricket. We were in the game until the second-last over. Good T20 pitch. Didnt change over the course of the game. Just missed out on a few. Just cashing in on the opportunity could have been done, Gaikwad said after the match. Batting first, Chennai Super Kings posted 180/7 in 20 overs with Dewald Brevis top-scoring with 44 runs. Sanju Samson provided a strong start with a quick 27, while Kartik Sharma and Shivam Dube also made useful contributions. However, SRH chased down the target comfortably through Ishan Kishans match-winning 70 and Heinrich Klaasens aggressive 47-run knock. Despite the defeat, Gaikwad said he was proud of the effort shown by the squad, especially considering the challenges faced by the team this season.

IPL 2026: Ishan Kishan Shines As SRH Secure Playoff Berth With Five-wicket Win Over CSK
Chennai Super Kings: Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan played a brilliant knock of 70 while Heinrich Klaasen scored 47 as Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by five wickets and qualified for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 playoffs at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday. Chasing a target of 181, SRH completed the chase in 19 overs to register an important victory. With this win, Sunrisers Hyderabad joined Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in securing a place in the IPL 2026 playoffs with 16 points from 13 matches. SRH started their chase positively with Abhishek Sharma attacking Mukesh Choudhary early in the innings. However, Chennai Super Kings struck back in the third over when Mukesh dismissed Travis Head with a slower delivery. Head managed just six runs from six balls. After the early wicket, CSK bowlers maintained tight lines and did not allow SRH batters to score freely. Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan took time to settle but kept the scoreboard moving with regular boundaries. SRH reached 45/1 at the end of the Power-play. CSK finally broke the partnership in the eighth over when Akeal Hosein dismissed Abhishek Sharma for 26 runs off 21 balls. His innings included three fours and a six. Following the wicket, Ishan Kishan shifted gears and anchored the innings, while Heinrich Klaasen played aggressively from the other end. Klaasen attacked both Akeal Hosein and Noor Ahmad, hitting boundaries and sixes regularly as SRH reached 75/2 in 10 overs. Klaasen survived a dropped catch and continued his attacking approach before eventually getting dismissed for 47 runs in the 15th over. The South African batter struck six fours and two sixes during his innings. Meanwhile, Kishan completed his half-century in 37 balls and continued to rotate strike smartly along with Nitish Kumar Reddy. The pair kept SRH firmly in control of the chase. Mukesh Choudhary dismissed Nitish Kumar Reddy in the 18th over, but Kishan remained calm and guided the side closer to victory. He scored 70 runs off 47 balls, hitting four boundaries and three sixes. Smaran Ravichandran finished the chase with a boundary as Sunrisers Hyderabad reached the target with six balls to spare and officially sealed their place in the IPL 2026 playoffs. Earlier, Dewald Brevis top-scored with 44 as Chennai Super Kings posted 180/7 in their 20 overs. Coming to bat after winning the toss, CSK made a flying start with Sanju Samson attacking from the very first ball. He smashed Nitish Kumar Reddy for a six and added two boundaries in the opening over. Samson continued his aggressive batting in the next over by hitting Praful Hinge for three consecutive fours as CSK raced ahead during the powerplay. Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins gave his team the first breakthrough by dismissing Samson for a quick 27 off 13 balls. Young batter Urvil Patel kept the momentum going with two sixes off Cummins, but Sakib Husain clean bowled him for 13 runs. After the early wickets, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Kartik Sharma steadied the innings. Kartik looked in excellent touch and played several attacking shots, including two fours and two sixes in his innings of 32 off 19 balls. Cummins once again broke the partnership by dismissing Kartik in the 10th over. Gaikwad struggled to score freely and was eventually dismissed for 15 runs, with Cummins claiming his third wicket and also completing 200 T20 wickets in the process. Shivam Dube and Dewald Brevis then rebuilt the innings with an important partnership. Brevis played aggressively and took charge in the middle overs, while Dube supported him well. Brevis scored 44 off 27 balls, hitting four sixes and two boundaries before being dismissed by Eshan Malinga in the 18th over. Dube also departed soon after for 26. Prashant Veer added some late runs as CSK finished at 180/7. For SRH, Pat Cummins starred with figures of 3/28, while Sakib Husain and Praful Hinge picked up two wickets each.

IPL 2026: Akeal Hosein Back As CSK Opt To Bat Against Unchanged SRH
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won the toss and elected to bat first against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 63 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Monday. CSK have made one change to their playing XI as Akeal Hosein is back, while MS Dhoni is still missing the match due to injury. After winning the toss, CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad said, We are looking to bat first. Well, it's nothing complicated, it's just simple for us. Take it one game at a time, look to win this one, look to start well, look to assess the conditions well, and put your best foot forward. Well, nothing, not as such, it's just that we have to respect conditions and choose what's best for the conditions. And yes, I think batting first looks good here now, he said. Gaikwad said MS Dhoni is not fit enough to play. He's still here, but he's not fit enough to play this game. Hopefully we win this one, and you'll have a low in the last game. We got just one chance. Akeal comes in for Gurjapneet, he added. While after losing the toss, SRH skipper Pat Cummins said, It's T20 cricket, and it's not easy every game. He knows it's not going to work every game. We would have probably wanted to bowl. Same team as the last game. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are placed at No. 6 on the points table with six wins and as many defeats from 12 matches. They are well and truly in contention to reach the playoffs despite starting the season with three consecutive losses. Ruturaj Gaikwad's team is coming to the contest after suffering a seven-wicket loss against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Ekana Stadium. CSK needs two wins in two matches to stay alive in the competition. On the other side, Sunrisers Hyderabad also made a strong comeback after a poor start, losing three out of four opening matches. They are currently placed in third position in the points table, with seven wins from 12 matches. If they manage to win the match against CSK, their qualification chances will increase significantly.

IPL 2026: CSK Vs SRH Could Be A Virtual Knockout Game, Says Aakash Chopra
Chennai Super Kings: With IPL 2026 entering its decisive phase to decide the remaining three playoffs spots, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has described the Chennai Super KingsSunrisers Hyderabad contest as a virtual knockout game that could go a long way in determining playoff qualification. With defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru confirming their spot in the last four stage, if SRH manages to win Mondays clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, they will be assured of a playoffs berth. Such an outcome will simultaneously confirm Gujarat Titans place in the playoffs, thus leaving only one spot open. Its CSKs final home game of the season and, given how congested the table is, it will be a mustwin for both, especially the home team. They have had to manage a lot of injuries, but still, players like Anshul Kamboj, Urvil Patel and the two spinners have stood up for them and they will be key again if they have to stop SRHs bighitters. SRH would be ruing their last defeat and, given they still have a chance to finish on 18 points, they wouldnt want to leave it until the last game. In my opinion, this could be a virtual knockout game for both. Whoever wins this one will come significantly closer to qualifying. With the stakes this high and Chepauk expected to be buzzing, fans should be in for a treat, said Chopra on JioStar. Former India left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan, meanwhile, pointed to the highstakes nature of SRHs final fixture against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 22, a day after GT take on CSK in a high profile clash in Ahmedabad, as a must-watch due to the face-off between Travis Head-Abhishek Sharma opening pair and new-ball duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood.

IPL 2026: Starc's Over Changed The Result, RR Were At Least 20 Runs Short, Admits Rathour
New Delhi: Rajasthan Royals lead assistant coach Vikram Rathour admitted that Mitchell Starc's devastating 15th over proved to be the turning point of their five-wicket defeat to Delhi Capitals, admitting that the visitors were at least 20 runs short of a competitive total and that poor decisions from the batters cost them the match. Rathour's candid assessment came after RR, well-placed at 160/2 at the start of the 15th over, lost four wickets in a heap to Starc, including three in an over and eventually posted only 193/8, with DC chasing it down with four balls to spare. I completely agree. We were at least 20 runs short, if not more. I thought we were 160 in 14 overs and lost two wickets. From there, we should have got 220. Again losing three wickets in one over doesn't help. So we could have been a bit smarter with our decisions we took in that over. So those are the learnings and in every game, you will make mistakes and the idea is to learn from those mistakes and I hope the next time we are in a similar situation, we get a better result. Again, that over definitely changed the result for us. Obviously he's a world class bowler. He's a world class bowler, but the kind of options we took in that over, were poor. We could have done differently and given ourselves a little more time to get through that over and take the game a little deeper, said Rathour in the post-match press conference. RR had come back to tournament action after another longish break and the result is a big setback to their hopes of entering the playoffs, as they find themselves deeper in the all-familiar second half wobble. Apart from RR batting order imploding in the last six overs and their misfields leaving head coach and director of cricket Kumar Sangakkara angry in the dugout, some of the decision making from RR was perplexing. The decision to draft in batting allrounder Dasun Shanaka as Impact Player raised eyebrows, as it meant they couldnt bring in a frontline bowler - Ravi Bishnoi or Sushant Mishra named in substitutes in the second innings. The absence of veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja further magnified the risk, considering their refurbished bowling line-up came on the back of being expensive in the last few games. After Shanaka made only ten with the bat, RR pressed him into service as the fifth bowler despite not bowling in his previous two outings. To his credit, Shanaka delivered three tidy overs and even took out DCs topscorer KL Rahul. But his limited use left RR short of flexibility in death overs bowling options. With three overs remaining, and Axar Patel and David Miller at the crease, RR turned to parttime offspinner Donovan Ferreira in the 18th over. The gamble backfired as both batters hit a maximum each in a 16run over and swung the momentum firmly in DCs favour. With those calls attracting considerable scrutiny, Rathour explained the chain of events that led to those decisions being taken in the game. The decisions that are made internally, are definitely taken by the captain. He is backing his gut and feeling at that stage. Our initial idea was to take 6 bowlers. But because we lost those wickets too quickly, we had to pick Dasun as an impact player. Otherwise, if the wickets hadn't fallen that much, we had an option to pick some bowler, especially a specialist bowler, maybe in the second innings. But unfortunately, we lost too many wickets in a cluster. So we had to take that option of picking Dasun. Again, the decisions that are made internally, are obviously taken by the captain. Obviously, there are some plans already, which are discussed outside with the analyst and the coach. But inside, at that point of the time, it's captains who take the call, he said. Rathour also acknowledged that captain Riyan Parag's hamstring niggle may have been a factor in him not opting to bowl. Parag had missed the clash against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur due to the same injury and needed treatment for it while making 51. Yes, of course (he could have bowled). But he is struggling again. Riyan is also having a niggle with his hamstring. So I am not sure how comfortable he was bowling. But it was an option, a chance he took, which didn't go our way, he said. On Jadejas absence, where Parag said load management resulted in him not playing Sundays game, Rathour said the team was being cautious with the all-rounder due to a knee niggle. He just had some niggle in his knee, I think. They are just trying to manage that. They felt that if we give him one more game break, it will be good for him. That was the reason he was rested. He is just dealing with some niggle. Before it all unravelled for RR, they were in control for the first 14 overs and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi treated fans to well-timed and powerful boundaries in his 21-ball 46, before falling to a slower delivery from Madhav Tiwari. With him struggling against slower deliveries and being dismissed off it before, Rathour denied on it being a chink in the teenaged openers armour. See, nobody is perfect in this world. Everybody will have some weakness here and there. I don't think slow ball is a weakness with Vaibhav. I will want bowlers to try that. On a wicket like this, where the ball is gripping a bit, change of pace is good against anybody. It's not only Vaibhav - I think he's a special player and enough has been said about his ability and how good he is. So, again, he's provided us a really good start, looking at the surface again. So, I just hope he converts one inning and goes deeper. The way he's batting, the way he prepares, I'm sure that's not too far off. We'll see one of those innings which he'll really convert and play a big knock. But otherwise, we are pretty happy with the way he's batting and we want him to bat that way.Different players will bat differently. Anybody can succeed. You need to identify and know your strengths. If you back your strengths and play to your strengths, you can score runs. Dhruv need not bat like Vaibhav and Vaibhav shouldn't look to bat like Dhruv. They have their own strengths. They have their own ways of scoring runs. If they keep backing that and keep believing in their ability, they can succeed easily. You have seen that happening. Somebody like Virat, who is still extremely successful, even in this format. I wouldn't call him an out-and-out power-hitting player. That tells you that there is scope for everybody to succeed, provided you have belief in your abilities. If you can commit to whatever options you take while you are batting and back yourself, he elaborated. Despite the defeat leaving sixth-placed RR in a tight spot in the race to playoffs, Rathour insisted the side still has full belief in their ability to qualify for the last four stage, though a lot will also depend on them taking better calls tactically.
