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...

New Delhi, July 23 (Ians) Indian wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik heaped praise on Mukesh Kumar and said that the pacer’s debut is a great success story for the country’s domestic cricket.
The 29-year-old Mukesh earned his debut for Team India in the second Test of the ongoing series against West Indies in Port of Spain. On Day 3 of the second Test, he claimed his maiden Test wicket by removing fellow debutant West Indies’ Kirk McKenzie for 32, providing India with a crucial breakthrough.
“Mukesh Kumar, what a lovely story. Coming from a very humble background, a great success story for our domestic cricket. You ask anybody in the domestic circuit, they will tell you Mukesh Kumar is born for Test cricket,” Karthik said on Cricbuzz.

New Delhi, July 23 (Ians) Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli might have scored exhilarating centuries in the ongoing Test series against West Indies but the Team management missed a crucial aspect of nurturing the upcoming prodigies of World cricket keeping in mind the next cycle of the World Test Championship (Wtc).
Following Australia’s emphatic win over India in the Wtc 2023, it was a perfect opportunity for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (Bcci) to give chance to young guns who had proven their mettle in the domestic setup.
Also with the likes of captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ajinkya Rahane being closer to the end of their careers, it was the right time for the Team management to give to players having minimal international experience against the weak West Indies side.

Port of Spain, July 23 (Ians) India debutant Mukesh Kumar won praise from bowling coach Paras Mhambrey after the right-arm pacer claimed his first Test wicket on a rain interrupted Day 3 of the second match against the West Indies, here on Saturday.
Mukesh claimed the wicket of fellow debutant Kirk McKenzie for 32 on a day that saw the West Indies show plenty of fight with the bat, as the hosts frustrated India to go to stumps at 229/5 and still trailing by 209 in the second match.
While veteran spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja did the bulk of the bowling on Saturday, Mukesh showed enough on debut through 14 overs to show he has a future in red-ball cricket as he got the wicket of McKenzie and then was entrusted to partner Mohammed Siraj with the second new ball later in the day.

In the first session, India’s debutant Mukesh Kumar dismissed West Indies’ debutant Kirk McKenzie for 32 off 57 balls before rain forced an early lunch.

Port of Spain, July 22 (Ians) Rain forced India and West Indies to take an early lunch on Day Three of the second Test at the Queen’s Park Oval on Saturday, shortly after seamer Mukesh Kumar got his maiden Test wicket in fellow debutant Kirk McKenzie.
Rain meant that only 10.4 overs were bowled in the first session on Day Three, where West Indies added 31 runs before losing McKenzie on 32 off 57 balls. Captain Kraigg Brathwaite continues to remain unbeaten on 49 off 161 balls, as West Indies are trailing India by 321 runs.
The day began with Mukesh testing McKenzie with his accurate deliveries, followed by Mohammed Siraj slipping in one maiden over. McKenzie got going when he brought out the drive and loft against Jaydev Unadkat for back-to-back fours in the 44th over.

Roseau (Dominica), July 15 (Ians) India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey admitted that ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been missed by the team a lot in the last one to one-and-a-half years while adding that breaks will be given to pacers, with youngsters to be given chances for creating a bench strength.
Bumrah last played for India in T20Is against Australia in September 2022, before suffering a recurrence of the back injury, which has kept him out of action since then. In April, Bumrah underwent a back surgery and is currently doing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (Nca) in Bengaluru, in order to be fit in time for Odi World Cup in October-November.
“Injuries are a very big concern. If we look at the last 1-1.5 years, Bumrah is one player we missed a lot. As of now, there haven’t been any discussions on who will play white ball or red ball.

During the lively gathering of Ott stars on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’, the show’s host, Kapil playfully inquired about Mukesh’s role in ‘Gangs of Wassepur’.

New Delhi, June 16 (Ians) Bengal pacer Mukesh Kumar feels that the experience of going through the grind of Ipl 2023 is going to help him become sharper for future matches.
Being impressive for Bengal in Ranji Trophy last time helped Mukesh get India call-up for ODIs against South Africa in October, though he didn’t get to make his international debut.
In Ipl 2023, where Delhi Capitals had a disappointing ninth finish, Mukesh picked seven wickets from ten matches in him playing in the two-month intense tournament for the first time. His most notable performance of Ipl 2023 came in defending 13 runs off the final over against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
“I’ve gone through pressure situations in domestic cricket as well. But I have to admit that the Ipl is a totally different beast. At times it seems as if the pressure there is greater than how it is in international cricket. You are...

ReviewWith a marked debut, Akhil Sathyan, son of director Sathyan Anthikad, has kept it real, and admirably, no character is a saint in the film. Akhil Sathyan’s first film does not launch with fanfare or loud introductions. Paachuvum Albuthavilakkum sails off quietly with a newspaper hawker on his bike, throwing away dailies across fences, a warm song beginning in the background. It sort of sets the mood on what to expect – a movie that is not going to make a big deal about things. So Fahadh Faasil is on the screen before you can say aha! and the story chugs along like a smooth train ride. It may fall into the safe feel-good genre, but it is quite distinct in its making, letting the characters attach themselves to you, unforced. Akhil Sathyan has made his mark. The film begins in Mumbai, where the clever opening (with the newspaper hawker...

Chasing 128, Delhi were off to a strong start with skipper David Warner hitting 10 boundaries out of 12 in the powerplay.

Amidst all the chaos in their lives, the men decide to conduct a séance, but does it go south pretty quickly? Does a playful séance activity turn into something totally scary, or is it just a part of their imagination?

Ranchi, Jan 27 (Ians) India captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to bowl first against New Zealand in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Jsca International Stadium in Ranchi, here on Friday.
“Looks like a very good track. The reason behind the decision to bowl first is that the ground is going to get quite wet, I can see some dew now itself. Just go out there and play the best cricket we know.”
“It’s a young side, everyone’s ready to go. We will focus on playing good cricket. Playing the ODIs before T20Is makes it easy to pass on.
