It will also be a bad news for the Afghanistan team. Even if the Afghanistan team is much tougher than the Indian team, the team should be respected. If at that time the Virat Kohli County tournament would play, it would be a disgrace for Afghanistan. This will also cause loss to the company that airs the competition. If Virat Kohli played in the county match, he would have to play in the Test match with Afghanistan. The teams. Will he go to the County Tournament without competition? said. “If 6 to 7 players are ready to go to England to prepare for the match against England, then the strong Indian team will play in the Test series against Afghanistan,” said Vinodrai, chairman of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. Asked by Shafiq Stonijay, the Chief Executive Officer of the Afghan Cricket Board, “we are eagerly looking to play in the first Test against India. If Virat Kohli stamped up in the world cricket, it would be a big disappointment for our players if they could not play in the match against us. “

 

Tamil News – MS Dhoni told me I will get batting opportunities in IPL this year : Ravindra Jadeja – Maalaimalar.com

Ravindra Jadeja said that he was focusing on batting these days even though his bowling figures have not been impressive in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. Ravindra Jadeja, who is striving to make a comeback, said that he was focusing more on batting now as MS Dhoni told him that he would be getting batting opportunities in the Indian Premier League this year. Jadeja’s bowling figures have not been impressive in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. But the Saurashtra all-rounder is now focusing his attention on batting. “Mahi bhai told me that I will get batting opportunities in the IPL this year. He said that I have the ability of a proper batsman, and I am not the flash in the pan type of batsman. And I should think like that,” Jadeja said in an interview to New Indian Express.

Jadeja, who has been retained by the Chennai Super Kings for this year’s IPL, along with Dhoni, said, “It was really encouraging for me. So, I am concentrating more on the batting aspect of my game and trying to get used to playing the anchor role.” “I am quite happy with the way I am bowling. In fact, I am focusing more on my batting now. I do not want to be a player who is known for hitting those 20-odd runs. I want to play the anchor role, just like I did today.” With World Cup only 16 months away, Jadeja is not ignoring his bowling strength and said that he was trying different angles to bowl. “It  is the most important thing. I am trying to do that. I am using different angles to bowl.”

Speaking on his performance in Vijay Hazare tournament, he said, “If I get wickets owing to mistakes of batsmen, I am not satisfied from the inside. If I think I have done the things I wanted to do, like varying the pace, I am content with that. If I am satisfied with the way I have bowled, I do not think much about other things. If I am executing my plans, I am happy. The pain was unbearable sometimes while playing certain shots. But this was really important for my self-confidence. It is morale boosting. To chase the target (330) under the circumstances is really special for me.”

Tamil Newspaper – IPL 2018 Auction – Maalaimalar.com

The mega auction for the IPL 2018 Auction is scheduled to be held in Bengaluru on January 27 and 28, the Press Trust of India reported on Tuesday (December 19). The dates for the auction coincide with the South Africa-India Test at the Wanderers in Johannesburg as well as the final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali domestic T20 tournament. The dates for the two-day auction process were ratified at the IPL Governing Council meeting held in New Delhi on December 6. It was in that meeting that BCCI apprised the franchise representatives about the retention process. The auction ahead of the 11th season of IPL will be a bigger affair than usual, given that each franchise can retain a maximum of five players from their existing rosters through a combination of pre-auction retention and Right To Match (RTM) cards. According to a report on ESPNCricinfo, teams have until January 4 to submit their retention lists while the BCCI itself will make public their full list of to-be-auctioned players on January 18. Franchises will each begin with an auction purse of INR 80 crores to build a 25-member (max) squad. This increase in purse value (up from INR 66 crores in 2017) is a direct consequence of the increased revenue for the league through title rights sale. Each team will have to spend at least 75 percent of the salary cap (INR 60 crore) by the end of the two-day procedure. Retained players will have a more dynamic effect on the team’s salary purse depending on the number of players retained by the franchise.

Nevertheless, Yuvraj feels that despite his recent failures, he continues to draw inspiration and works even harder in order to make a comeback to the national side. Yuvraj is also confident of playing cricket until 2019. He also said that the decisions regarding his career would also be solely decided by him, and no one would have any influence on it. Yuvraj Singh awarded with Ph.D

“I would like to tell that I am failing. I still fail. I failed the last three fitness tests but yesterday I passed my fitness test. After 17 years I am still failing. I am not afraid of failure. I have gone through ups and downs. I have seen defeat and that’s what’s the pillar of success. To be a successful man, to be a successful person in your life, you need failure and you’ve got to be defeated.

Tamil Newspaper – I too need rest, I am not a robot: Kohli – Maalaimalar.com

Batting for long in a manner that often seemed unreal, India skipper Virat Kohli today said he too needs rest from the gruelling international schedule since he is “not a robot“. Kohli has played seven Tests, 26 ODIs and 10 T20 internationals in 2017, the most by any player in the Indian team. “Definitely I do need a rest, why don’t I. When I think of the time my body should be rested I will ask for it, why not. I’m not a robot, you can slice my skin and check if I still bleed,” Kohli told reporters on the eve of the first Test against Sri lanka.
The India skipper also played 10 matches at the Indian Premier League‘s 10th season, and had warned about burnout. “This is one thing I don’t think people explain properly. There’s a lot of talk from outside in terms of workload whether a player should be rested or not. For example all cricketers play 40 games a year. Three guys who should get rest their workload are to be managed. Not everyone in the XI would have batted 45 overs or not everyone would have bowled 30 overs in a Test. But the guys who are doing that regularly are the ones who need to be assessed.
His supreme athleticism on the field has rubbed onto other players in the side and they vouched for it. “I don’t think people look at the times spent on the crease, the number of runs, the number of overs, the conditions etc. I don’t think people will go into that analysis. Everyone play same number of games.”For example Pujara will have maximum workload because he spends maximum time at the crease as his game is built that way. You can’t compare that to a counter-attacking batsman because the workload would have been lesser.
“All these things have be taken into consideration purely because of the fact that we have built such a strong core team now of 20-25 players. You don’t want important players breaking down at important times, that’s where the balance needs to be maintained going forward.”He said it is humanly impossible to play all three formats and maintain the same intensity without taking a break. “It’s humanly impossible to maintain same intensity and same level of performance.”

Vijay is on a comeback trail after a long layoff due to injuries sustained during India’s home Test season.

He and Ravichandran Ashwin then sat out the Indian Premier League while Ravindra Jadeja and Virat Kohli joined their respective teams at a later stage. Vijay also could not play in the three-match Test series against Sri Lanka and is now expected to make his return when India host Sri Lanka for another three-match rubber starting on November 16.

Jagadeesan was then dismissed and missed out on a second First Class century by 12 runs. Baba Indrajith and Vijay have since stuck together at the crease. Vijay may have been India’s first choice opener in Test series for some time now but Mukund, Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul all performed well in the Sri Lanka series. Shikhar Dhawan was especially belligerent, slamming 190 off 168 balls in the first Test and 119 in the third.
