Dublin, Aug 20 (Ians) Ruturaj Gaikwad anchored India’s innings with a fine fifty while Sanju Samson and Rinku Singh dished out impactful knocks in carrying India to a competitive 185-5, which set the base for them to beat Ireland by 33 runs in the second T20I at Malahide on Sunday and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-game series.
Opener Andy Balbirnie was the lone ranger for Ireland with his 72 off 51 balls, but it went in vain as India’s bowlers, led by a superb Jasprit Bumrah, kept Ireland to 152-8. Prasidh Krishna launched a double-strike in his first over of the powerplay, as well as Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh being amongst the wickets on a sunny day at Malahide.
For India, Gaikwad made 58 off 43 balls and shared a crucial 71-run partnership with Samson, who made a quick-fire 26-ball 40. Though it appeared that India was losing some momentum...

Gaikwad made 58 off 43 balls and shared a crucial 71-run partnership with Samson, who made a quick-fire 26-ball 40.

Pushed into batting first, runs began to flow for India from the second over with Gaikwad clipping Josh Little for four. Yashasvi Jaiswal swivelled twice off the backfoot to take a four and six off the left-arm pacer. When Barry McCarthy gave width, Jaiswal was quick...

Dublin, Aug 18 (Ians) India beat Ireland by two runs (Dls method) in the first T20I of the three-match series after the game was called off due to incessant rains here at Malahide Cricket Club Ground on Friday.

Lucknow, Aug 17 (Ians) The doctors at King George’s Medical University have performed a complex yet successful C-section surgery on a 26-year-old woman suffering from a rare heart condition called Eisenmenger syndrome (Es).
This was the third successful surgery of its kind, out of four cases in the past two years.
Doctors claimed it is the highest survival rate for pregnant women with Es, a rare illness, among government hospitals in the country.
Seven out of every 1 lakh adults might have this condition. The chances of survival are quite low and 65-70 per cent pregnancy can make Es even worse. Doctors from Who suggest that women with this condition should not get pregnant.
Pregnant woman Nilima came from Gorakhpur to Kgmu’s Queen Mary’s Hospital last week.

New Delhi, Aug 16 (Ians) Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has suggested that India consider including three left-handers within their top seven batting positions for the upcoming Asia Cup and the Odi World Cup in order to add variety in their line-up.
Speaking with Star Sports, Shastri suggested Ishan Kishan as the wicketkeeper, who has been involved in the Indian Odi setup for a considerable duration. In addition, the management could also consider including youngsters either Tilak Varma or Yashasvi Jaiswal.
“There are three other positions where I think two left-handers have to come in, apart from the top four you mentioned. Now this is where the selectors’ role comes in because they are watching. They know who’s the guy who’s hot. If Tilak Varma is hot, bring him in. If you think Jaiswal is hot bring him in,” Shastri said.

Lauderhill, (USA), Aug 13 (Ians) India’s young opener Shubman Gill said he has learned a few things on the tour of Caribbean islands, having played on different venues and hoped that they would be able to use those when they come back to the region again next year and play against West Indies.
After failing to get into double figures in the first three T20Is against the West Indies, Gill returned to form in the fourth match and scored a superb 77 and along with Yashasvi Jaiswal (84 not out) raised 165 runs for the opening wicket to help India to a nine-wicket win in the game and level the series 2-2.
“Obviously, a lot to learn, you’ve got to play according to the situation. We played in so many different venues. I got many learnings and hopefully when we come back next year hopefully, we can use those learnings,” Shubman...

Lauderhill, (USA), Aug 13 (Ians) Young Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiswal is not reading too much into the comparison of his opening pairing with Shubman Gill with Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan partnership and called the seasoned duo legends.

Lauderhill, Aug 11 (Ians) After losing the first two T20I matches to the West Indies, India kept the five-game series alive with a resounding seven-wicket win in the third game, thanks to superlative efforts from vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma.
Now with the series action shifting to Lauderhill in Florida, USA, for the last two matches, India will be hoping that other batters step up to make significant contributions in the fourth T20I happening on Saturday.
West Indies are still leading the series 2-1, owing to India’s batting barring Varma not coming to the party. Though Suryakumar got back his groove in the third T20I, India would require the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, captain Hardik Pandya and the rest of the lower-order batters to step up and play a huge role in run-making.

New Delhi, Aug 8 (Ians) Former batter Wasim Jaffer has said Indian team management should give opener Ishan Kishan a break in the third T20I of the ongoing five-match series against West Indies in Guyana.
The 25-year old Kishan has struggled to score big in the first two matches. After scoring six runs in nine balls in the first 1st T20I, he managed to score 27 runs off 23 balls in the second match.
“We know that Ishan Kishan has struggled in the T20 internationals, so give him a break. He might come back stronger when he plays next,” Jaffer told ESPNcricinfo.
Jaffer also mentioned that India should start with opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal in the third T20I since he is coming off a strong performance in the Test series. Jaiswal scored 266 runs in two matches, while averaging 88.67.
“I would pick Yashasvi Jaiswal without a doubt just because he brings that fearlessness.

Jaffer is worried about Ishan’s form in T20I, and said that Mumbai Indian batter has had very low scores in the last 15 innings and his strike rate is also too low.
The 25-year old Kishan could only score six runs in nine balls in the first 1st T20I, which India lost by four runs.

Port of Spain, July 24 (Ians) India came out with guns blazing in their second innings but rain played spoilsport and halted their progress, reducing the session to just three overs as India reached 118/2 at Tea on the fourth day of the second Test.
After forcing an early lunch, the rain started soon as the batsmen were ready to get into the field for the afternoon session. Though the rain stopped soon, the wet ground stopped the play further and kept the players inside. Eventually, when play finally started, India crossed 100 runs off 75 balls on the second ball of the 13th over.
However, India suffered a setback when they lost opener Yashasvi Jaiswal in the same over, falling to a slower delivery that landed at the good length spot outside off-stump. Jaiswal attempted a slog-sweep across the line but the bounce got him and the top edge ballooned and keeper Joshua Da Silva...

Port of Spain, July 21 (Ians) In his 500th international appearance for India, former skipper Virat Kohli held the Indian fort together, like he has done on numerous occasions earlier, to help India reach 288/4 at stumps on the opening day of the second and final World Test Championship Test against the West Indies at the Queen’s Park Oval here.
Kohli, the fifth-highest run-getter for India in Test cricket and inching closer to overtaking the fourth-placed Vvs Laxman (8781), was batting on 87 at the close of play on Thursday and helped India extricate themselves from a difficult position after making a good start in the morning.

Port of Spain, July 21 (Ians) West Indies bowlers made a stunning comeback in the second session and helped their side reduce India to 182/4 at Tea on the opening day of second Test at Queen’s Park Oval, here on Thursday.
India, who were 121 for no loss at lunch, lost four wickets in the second session and could manage to score just 61 runs.
Opener Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal looked virtually unperturbed in the first session and slammed fifties. However, the story was quite different in the second session as four bowlers picked up a wicket apiece to ensure India were in a spot of bother going into tea.
India’s opening stand was broken on 139 after Jaiswal fell after scoring 57 off 74 to Jason Holder, who had been the only bowler looking dangerous in the first session.

Port of Spain, July 20 (Ians) India captain Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal slammed fifties with immaculate ease to put the visitors’ in drivers’ seat by racing to 121 for no loss in 26 overs at lunch on the opening day of second Test at Queen’s Park Oval, here on Thursday.
Put into bat first, Rohit and Jaiswal were unbeaten on 63 and 52 respectively as many were baffled over West Indies decision to bowl first on a slow, docile pitch, especially with the bowling line-up lacking the required penetration and discipline.
Rohit began with an authoritative pull for six off a harmless Kemar Roach delivery, while Jaiswal also pulled Alzarri Joseph for six apart from getting an outside edge on cut for two fours.
Shannon Gabriel’s introduction did little to stop run-flow as Rohit played a sublime drive, before pulling for back-to-back fours, followed by Jaiswal cutting off back foot through for another boundary.

New Delhi, July 15 (Ians) Former Australia captain lauded young India opener Yashavi Jaiswal for his exploits in the first Test against West Indies and was not surprised to see the left-hander make a strong impression on his debut for the country.

New Delhi, July 14 (Ians) Right-handed batter Ruturaj Gaikwad will lead the India men’s T20 team in the upcoming Asian Games, set to be held from September 19 to October 8 in Hangzhou, China.
The 15-member squad announced by the Bcci also include Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh and Jitesh Sharma, all of whom are uncapped in T20 cricket.

Roseau (Dominica), July 14 (Ians) India declared their first innings on 421/5 in 152.2 overs, taking a 271-run lead in the first Test against West Indies at Windsor Park Stadium, here on Friday.
India’s declaration post lunch means that West Indies have an hour and nearly eight minutes to bat in the second session.
With the ball turning and bouncing, it will be a difficult prospect for the West Indies to make India bat again, especially when Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja come out to bowl.
In the second session, Virat Kohli was out for 76 off Rahkeem Cornwall when he tried to flick on backfoot through leg-side, but the extra bounce took a thick inside edge to leg slip. Ishan Kishan’s introduction in Test cricket was a mix of defending, leaving and being beaten twice.

We had seen ourselves in good positions in the last (two Wtc) cycles. What we need is consistency and putting it together. Want the boys to be positive,” said Brathwaite at the toss.

Extraction 2 is the sequel to the 2020 film Extraction, also directed by Sam Hargrave and starring Chris Hemsworth as Tyler Rake. Rudhraksh Jaiswal and Golshifteh Farahani complete the cast.
Building upon the successful elements of its predecessor, this sequel amps up the action and intensity, leaving little room for intelligence.
Plot
Tasked with rescuing a family in the clutches of a Georgian gangster, Tyler Rake infiltrates one of the world’s deadliest prisons. But when the extraction goes awry and the gangster dies in the heat of battle, his equally ruthless brother tracks down Rake and his team to Sydney for revenge.
Movie Review Extraction 2
If you enjoyed the first film, you’ll enjoy the second even more. But if you found the first lacking in substance, the second will seem truly ridiculous. It’s a pure action movie that follows the rules of the genre and delivers a stereotypical sequel lacking in cinematic interest,...

New Delhi, May 24 (Ians) India wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik has called for patience with prodigious young talent Yashasvi Jaiswal and believes that the talented batter doesn’t need to be fast-tracked into Odi setup especially for the Icc Mens Cricket World Cup this year.
Jaiswal shot to prominence when he topped the run charts at the 2020 Icc Men’s Under-19 Cricket World Cup and the 21-year-old has already replicated that form with some standout performances at the Ipl for the Rajasthan Royals.
Calls have been made for Jaiswal to be parachuted into India’s 50-over squad for this year’s World Cup on home soil, with former national coach Ravi Shastri recently suggesting the youngster could push for selection if injuries do arise to key players in the lead-up to the event. But Karthik is not sold on the idea.

Ipl 2023: There's a certain calmness to Jaiswal's batting and I credit Sangakkara for it, says Raina
New Delhi, May 20 (Ians) Rajasthan Royals pulled off a four-wicket win over Punjab Kings in Match No. 66 of the Ipl 2023 in Dharamsala on Friday night to theoretically stay in contention for a play-offs place.
Set a tricky target of 188 for victory, the Royals, reached 189/6 in 19.4 overs with Shimron Hetmyer scoring 46, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal hitting 50 and Devdutt Padikkal hammering 51. Earlier, Pbks scored 187/5 thanks largely to the efforts of Sam Curran 49 not out, Jitesh Sharma 44 and M Shahrukh Khan 41 not out.
The win took the Royals to 14 points after the conclusion of their league games, while Pbks finished their season with 12 points from 14 games. The Royals moved to fifth position and their fortunes in the tournament depend on the results of the remaining matches as both Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians, who have a game in hand each, have 14 points each as well.
