Ranchi, February 13: Former Team India spinner and Aam Aadmi Party MP Harbhajan Singh has shared several tips for the Indian players ahead of the high-intensity India vs Pakistan clash in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka on February 15. Harbhajan Singh cautioned Team India against one of the Pakistani spinners and asked them to play him safe as he has the ability to turn the results in Pakistan's favour. Speaking to ANI over the India vs Pakistan ICC T20 World Cup 2026 clash, Harbhajan Singh said, India will win the match. Pakistan has a spinner, he is a good spinner, we have to play him safe... The Indian team is capable; it's a very good team. We hope they play the way they have always played, play without any pressure and wave the flag of victory. #WATCH | Ranchi, Jharkhand: On India-Pakistan upcoming match in T20 World Cup 2026, Former Indian cricketer and AAP MP Harbhajan Singh said, India will win the match. Pakistan has a spinner, he is a good spinner, we have to play him safe... The Indian team is capable; it's a pic.twitter.com/OtnFyrDuq5 ANI (@ANI) February 13, 2026 Cautions Team India The Pakistani spinner about whom Harbhajan is cautioning the Indian Cricket Team seems to be Usman Tariq, however, he did not mentioned any names. The only bowler in the Pakistani squad whom India will be facing for the first time is Usman Tariq. Indian players have faced the other bowlers in the Asia Cup 2025 and other tournaments earlier. Controversial Action Usman Tariq has been in the headlines lately due to his controversial bowling action. He has been accused of chucking the ball by the Australian cricketer Cameroon Green during the Pakistan vs Australia T20 Series in Pakistan. However, Usman Tariq came up with the clarification about the allegations and claimed that his action is legal and his round arm bowling is due to two elbows in his bowling hand. 'We've Already Done Preparation': Ishan Kishan On Facing Pakistan Spinner Usman Tariq Ahead Of Marquee IND vs PAK T20 WC Clash Anil Chaudhary Clears Action Former Indian umpire Anil Chaudhary also cleared Usman Tariq's bowling action and claimed he has a legal bowling action. He said that he recently saw the video of Usman Tariq and that he has a different but fair bowling action. He has a side-arm action and bowls with a pause and his action is a little different from other bowlers.
Following his side's win over Namibia in the ICC T20 World Cup, Indian wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan spoke on preparing for Pakistan spinner Usman Tariq's side action while facing Namibia skipper Gerhard Erasmus who had a sidearm action, saying that the preparation part is done already and it is time to watch the ball and play their natural game. Kishan's explosive 24-ball 61 with six fours and five sixes gave Team India a headstart, which helped them even during a middle-over slump as they finished with 209/9 courtesy fine knocks from him and Hardik Pandya, who also struck a fiery 28-ball 52. Later, Namibia did take the game on against Indian bowlers in the powerplay by attacking Indian pacers, but spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel threw their momentum off the rails, and the visitors were skittled out for merely 116. Speaking after the post-match presentation, Kishan said on preparing for Usman's sidearm action while facing Erasmus, an off-spinner with a sidearm action as well, saying that watching videos gives the team an idea of what to do, and the Namibian skipper's four-fer served as a great learning ahead of the clash against Pakistan on February 15. Ishan Kishan on questions related to Usman Tariq... There is nothing specific you have to prepare. We watch some videos to get an idea of what kind of bowling to expect, and then we play our natural game. @ishankishan51 #IshanKishan pic.twitter.com/g0fZ5AupP6 Ishan's (@IshanWK32) February 13, 2026 No, I think we have already done the preparation part, and now it is just time to watch the ball and play our natural game (on preparing to play Tariq). So if the ball is there, as a batter, we just feel like going in because it's a T20 game. And we are trying to set a good total on board. But we do have to believe in our strength as well. There's nothing like you have to prepare. I think at this level, we just watch a few videos, and we get an idea of what kind of bowling is going to happen. So we are just keeping it simple. Yeah, he bowled pretty well today, and I think there was quite a bit of learning for us for our team as well today, he said. Ishan also said that while the team felt the pitch was flat, the ball was holding up a bit initially, making it tough to go for fours and sixes. The pair of Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan decided to take their time and look for bad balls. Speaking on how his mindset has changed following his landmark maiden Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) Trophy win with Jharkhand as a captain last year, which helped him storm back into the team, the left-hander feels he is a changed man and focuses more on his craft rather than joking around and having fun, something he used to do all the time, but now does just for two-three hours. I think I am a changed man now, to be honest. I don't get into it too much, but I do enjoy jokes and everything. I do it, but earlier I used to do it 24x7, but now it is just two-three hours of it. So I am just focusing more on batting and my wicket-keeping, which is going to help the team and which is going to help me. Everything is secondary, he added. After a blazing 24-ball 61 by Ishan and a 28-ball 52 by Hardik took India to 209/9 despite a four-fer from skipper Gerald Erasmus, India were challenged by Namibia well in the powerplay, as the visitors ended that phase at 57/1. From there, Varun Chakravarthy (3/7 in two overs), Axar Patel (2/20 in three overs) and Hardik Pandya (2/21 in four overs) turned the tide in India's favour, skittling Namibia out for 116 runs in 18.2 overs. India is at the top of Group A, with two wins in two matches, followed by Pakistan, with the same win-loss ratio.

T20 WC: All Are In Good Touch, Looking To Use The Power Play As Much As We Can, Says Kishan
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Indias top order has made no secret of its intent since winning the Mens T20 World Cup title they won in 2024: attack the powerplay, set the tempo, and let rest of the depth carry them beyond 200. On Thursday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, Ishan Kishan embodied that clarity by hitting a fiery 24-ball 61, and was one of the architects of the record 93-run win over Namibia. Kishans blitzkrieg of six fours and five sixes pushed India to 86/1 in six overs - their highest powerplay score in the history of being in the tournament. That approach was of huge importance considering India had two post-powerplay wobbles on their way to making 209/9. One would have thought that India would tweak its power-play approach after a reckless swing-at-every-ball method left them at 77/6. It felt the same when Sanju Samsons cameo of 22 - three sixes and a four coming off Ben Shingoko in the second over gave a simple catch to deep mid-wicket. But Kishan, initially subdued and surprised by bounce Ruben Trumpelmann got in the opening over, found his rhythm and proceeded to his usual big-hitting ways once JJ Smits medium pace entered the attack. The highlight though came in the final over of power-play when four consecutive sixes and a four got him 28 runs, which accelerated Indias march to the 100-run mark in 6.5 overs - they set a new benchmark for the fastest team hundred at the event. With Abhishek Sharma unavailable for selection due to stomach infection issues and Sanju Samson falling after sizzling briefly on his T20 World Cup debut, Kishans sensational hitting meant India had an aggressor who would take on bowlers and ransack big runs in power-play, especially on the days when the middle order gets strangled due to their small pockets of weakness. We all are in good touch and looking to use the power play as much as we can. We are selecting the bowlers. If you see the first over, Trumpelmann bowled pretty well a few balls - so we did not take charge on that because we knew later on, once the ball stops swinging maybe we can go for extra 10 runs in the over instead of scoring 15 we can go for 24 or something. So that was the plan and game by game situations will be different. It was different here, tomorrow when we play against Pakistan, it might be different. So we need to assess as soon as possible, know about the wicket more, their bowling strength, who's going to bowl when and who we can take on. If it's required for me to take single and give the strike to someone else, I'll do that as well. So it's important to be aware of the game situation and I feel if you get a good start in power play, you should always try and maybe one batter can always go for sixes at any point of time. But in top three one batter is supposed to bat for long. We have been doing it pretty consistently. Now it's just time for us being in a good headspace and being calm in the situation. Even if the over did not go our way, we'll just try and look at the situation, look at the bowler who we can charge and who we can just try and rotate strike on, Kishan told reporters at the conclusion of the game. While his leg-side assault gave crowd moments of thrill akin to seeing an action-packed sequence in a mini web series, Kishans fifty inside the powerplay against Namibia added another layer of intent - only the fifth such instance of this recorded in World Cup history and his second half-century in as many months after the one against New Zealand in Raipur last month. It reinforced Indias strategy of turning the first six overs into a decisive phase to set up the base for an eventual victory. I do take singles as well and defend the good balls. But I don't know if I've done a very big amount of hard work or something. I just kept it simple rather than rushing into the overs or getting excited and playing those shots. I'm just trying to be calm on the pitch and just trying to watch the ball and play those shots which I already had, but sometimes you get excited and play those shots when you're playing international cricket. So I'm just trying to cut those moments off in my life and just try to play my own shots which I am good at and which is on that particular wicket. I'm not doing so much or thinking so much about batting, or getting into extra training sessions, but just trying to watch the ball and be calm on the wicket. Playing two three dot balls also it should not make a difference because the batters in our team - they all got strength and that ability to hit at any point of time. It's just a matter of two balls. For us, it's important to understand that thing also. Like, two balls, if you get two sixes, it's all covered. So we have to wait for a time rather than just throwing our wicket, he added. 2026 has been an eventful year for Kishan - since reclaiming his place in the T20I team, he has piled up 296 runs in six innings at an average of 49.33 and strike rate of 222.55, making him Indias most effective batter. Thursday in Delhi was another extension of that form, with the arc of his comeback adding more weight to the runs. Benched after playing first two games in 2023 ODI World Cup, when Shubman Gill was recovering from dengue, Kishan asked for a break, but went out of favour, and lost his central contract. For two years he worked his way back and a breakthrough time while leading Jharkhand to Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy triumph reopened the door for Kishan to be back in the national set-up just in time for a home T20 World Cup campaign. The wicketkeeper-batter admitted that hes now someone who is serious about things in life, as compared to his previous fun-loving avatar. I think I'm a changed man now, to be honest. I don't get into it too much, but I do enjoy jokes and everything. I do it, but earlier I used to do it 24x7, but now it's just 2-3 hours of it. I am just focusing more on batting and my wicket keeping which is going to help the team and which is going to help me. Everything is secondary so I am not just always joking but specially under Gauti bhai (head coach Gautam Gambhir), added Kishan. When India takes on Pakistan at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday, they will need to figure out the path to deal with Usman Tariqs unorthodoxy, especially after Namibia skipper Gerhard Erasmuss slingy and round-arm deliveries fetched him four wickets, including of Kishan. For the defending champions, the powerplay is no longer just a launchpad - it has become a battleground where matches are tilted and Kishan, with his judicious hitting mantra, has become the face of it. We have already done the preparation part and now it's just time to watch the ball and play our natural game. If the ball is there, as a batter, we just feel like going in because it's a T20 game and we are trying to set a good total on board. But we do have to believe in our strength as well. There's nothing like you have to prepare. At this level, we just watch few videos and we get an idea of what kind of bowling is going to happen. So we're just keeping it simple. He bowled pretty well and there was a quite bit of learning for us and team as well. We have already done the preparation part and now it's just time to watch the ball and play our natural game. If the ball is there, as a batter, we just feel like going in because it's a T20 game and we are trying to set a good total on board. But we do have to believe in our strength as well. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But if we are just looking for boundaries and sixes and we are believing in our own strength, that helps the batters more so we are just doing trying to keep it simple. Some batters might score on some batters won't, but it's part of game and you keep on learning game by game so it's going to help anyway, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

The three-day event will be held from 30 January to 1 February 2026 at Biswa Bangla Mela Prangan (BBMP), opposite Science City in Kolkata, with National Award-winning actor, motivational speaker and founder of Ashish Vidyarthi & Associates, Mr. Ashish Vidyarthi, as the chief guest.

Speaking on the vision behind the initiative, Verticaa Dvivedi, Director, Surfaces Reporter Architecture Event , said, “For far too long, East and Northeast India have been perceived as slow or difficult markets—regions many hesitate to enter, assuming they are not easily reachable. What often gets overlooked is the exceptional depth of architectural thinking emerging from these regions. Designers here work with climate, context, and culture not as constraints, but as strengths. In many ways, the rest of India has a lot to learn from them. Through the Surfaces Reporter Architecture Event – East & Northeast India, we aim to highlight, promote, and amplify this outstanding body of work. This edition is not an arrival—it is the first page of a much larger national narrative.” Spread across over 1,50,000 sq. ft., the event will feature 100+ leading interior and surface brands and bring together 200+ architects and interior designers showcasing over 500 landmark projects, welcoming an estimated 14,000–16,000 visitors from 100+ towns and cities.
