India and Pakistan Tied for Top Spot in World Test Championship Points Table

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com July 20, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Goal: After Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by four wickets in the first test at the goal, the work for team India was done. With the win, Pakistan team has moved to the top spot along with India in the points table of the World Test Championship. India and Pakistan have averaged 12 points and 100 points respectively, with both teams winning one match each played in the championship cycle. Team India had earlier won the first Test against the West Indies in Dominica by an innings and 141 runs.

With Pakistan in the lead, it is crucial for India to win the second Test against the West Indies starting today in Trinidad. If India win in Trinidad and Pakistan win the second Test against Lanka starting on the 24th in Colombo, it will be a close battle between the neighbors again in the points table. Aussies are third with an average of 61.11 points and England are fourth with an average of 27.78. For both of them, the result of the ongoing fourth Ashes Test in Manchester is crucial.

Chasing a target of 131 runs in the Goal Cricket Test, Pakistan came to the crease on the last day and reached the target with the loss of six wickets. Pakistan was shaken by Lanka, who threw the bat to a small victory target, but the fighting spirit of Imam-ul-Haq, who remained unbeaten with a half-century, helped Pakistan. Captain Babar Azam (24) and Saud Shakeel (30) were the other batsmen who crossed double figures for Pakistan while Imam remained unbeaten with 50* runs. Score: Sri Lanka-312, 279, Pakistan-461, 133-6.

The Indian team will come out today looking for their second consecutive win and series against West Indies. The Windies-India second Test will start at 7:30 PM IST at Queen’s Park, Port of Spain. India’s playing eleven is unlikely to change much after winning the first match.

India’s Dominant Win over West Indies in First Test Match

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com July 16, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Rousseau (Dominica) ∙ Defeat in the Test Championship final, demands from former players to change captain and coach, dismal performance by senior players – an authentic innings and 141-run win over the West Indies in the first Test will help Team India answer the questions and criticisms raised over the past few days.

Windies were not in the picture till the final session of the 3rd day. Score: West Indies 1st innings 150, 2nd innings 130. India declared 421 for 5 in 1st innings. Opener Yashaswi Jaiswal (171) who scored a century on his Test debut was the Player of the Match.

Spin Win

R.Ashwin’s performance in the first Test was an answer to the selectors who failed in the final of the Test Championship. Ashwin took 12 wickets in two innings. Ashwin-Ravindra Jadeja spin pair took 17 wickets in the match.

Batting on

Indian captain Rohit Sharma (103) and senior player Virat Kohli (76), who have been struggling to find form in Test cricket for some time, will be a relief for India. Yashaswi Jaiswal has almost cemented his place in the team with a century on debut.

Windies fall

The West Indies players could not challenge India even at any stage of the match. In the first innings, when the West Indies were all out for 150 runs, India almost secured an innings victory. Alik Atanze’s 47 runs in the first innings was the highest score by a West Indies batsman in the match. Windies, who came to face India with young players who have not even played enough domestic matches, would not have expected a different result.

Indian spinner R.Ashwin has joined West Indies legend Malcolm Marshall in the record of most 5-wicket hauls (6 times) in India-West Indies Test matches.

Our bowlers bowled well. Yashaswi Jaiswal’s performance deserves a mention. Yashasvi batted without any pressure of debut. We believe that this excellence can be continued in the next Test too – Rohit Sharma (Indian captain)

We made mistakes with the bat. The score in the first innings was reversed. As a captain, I was not able to lead the team from the front. We lost wickets at all crucial times in the match. The senior players should have played a little more carefully. – Craig Brathwaite (West Indies Captain)

English Summary : India beat West Indies in First Test Match

Crucial Changes in Team India Squad for Test Series Against West Indies: Shubman Gill Shifted to Number Three

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com July 13, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The Test series between India and West Indies started yesterday in Dominica. Team India, which lost in the final of the World Test Championship held last month, has come to play in West Indies by making many crucial changes in the squad that was there then. Cheteshwar Pujara, who was the vice-captain of the Test team and has been an integral part of the team for over 10 years, has been dropped from the Indian team. When it came to the playing eleven, the team brought some crucial changes. The most notable thing is that Shubman Gill, who was the opener, was shifted to number three.

MS Dhoni: Captain Cool’s records that no one can break

Speaking to the media on the eve of the first Test, Indian captain Rohit Sharma was the first to reveal the information that Gill was going to play at number three. Rohit also stated that the new player Yashaswi Jaiswal will be the new opener of the Indian Test team. Many discussions were held in Indian cricket regarding the shift of Gill, who was playing well in the opening, to number three. Cricket lovers came out for and against this, but the truth is that such a move was done in Gill’s interest.

Before the first Test, Gill himself told coach Rahul Dravid that he wanted to play at number three. Gill, who mostly played in the 3rd and 4th batting positions while playing for India A, believed that if given that position, he would be able to perform better for India.

Speaking before the first Test, Gill revealed what was the conversation he had with Rahul Dravid regarding the batting position. “I have batted a lot at No.3 and No.4 while playing for India A. They (Dravid and Rohit) asked me where I want to bat in this series. I said I want to bat at No.3. I think it’s a better position for me and I can play better. Bat at No.3. It’s not that much different from opening, but maybe you get more break between innings.” Gill stopped.

At the same time, with Gill shifting to number three, Cheteshwar Pujara gets the job. Pujara has been the trusted number three player of the Indian Test team for the past ten years. But the star lost his place in the team due to his poor form in the last few days. Pujara’s return to the Test team will be difficult even if he shows good performances in domestic cricket. The reason is that there is no vacancy in any position in the team.

At the same time, Yashasvi Jaiswal, the new opener of the Indian Test team, who replaced Gill, is performing well in the first Test against the West Indies. The player who came to bat on the first day of the Test debut is at the crease after scoring 40 runs when the game is stopped.
