Rohit Sharma and co will play Jos Buttler's men at Edgbaston on Saturday and then Trent Bridge on Sunday. They lead the series 1-0. ,Also read: Watch: Bhuvneshwar Kumar cleans in-form Buttler with an 'absolute peach',While skipper Rohit Sharma will be spoilt for choices as he and coach Rahul Dravid pick the playing 11 for the second game, a big challenge awaits Kohli. The BCCI has reportedly taken a 'perform or perish' approach for the former India captain. As per reports, the 33-year-old's performance in the two games against England will determine if he continues playing T20Is. ,“He has been a great servant of the Indian cricket. Without doubt one of the best. But his struggle for form and runs is now alarming. Selectors need to select people on form not on reputation. I am no authority but he needs to get his groove back soon. Perform or Perish has to be a way forward on him. I guess selectors will look for options before the T20 World Cup if he don’t get runs in England”, a BCCI official told InsideSport. Also Read: ‘Go and sit on a beach’: Michael Vaughan believes a sabbatical will help Virat Kohli,However, one big question is: Who does Kohli replace?,The Indian team was on fire in the first T20I. Hardik Pandya reigned supreme with one of the finest all-round performances in recent times as the visitors bossed England to emerge winners by 50 runs. ,Pandya made a half-century and picked four wickets. Along with him, the likes of Deepak Hooda and Suryakumar Yadav fired. Hooda, who would ideally by a like for like replacement option if Kohli comes in, scored 33 runs in 17 balls at a strike rate of more than 194. Surya smashed four boundaries and two maximums during his 19-ball 39. Dropping the two doesn't seem like a viable option currently. ,If India decide to retain Hooda, then Kohli could open alongisde skipper Rohit Sharma at the expense of Ishan Kishan, who has also been consistent at the top. The opening position is something Kohli is quite familiar and his last half-century in T20 Internationals also came at the top.

It seemed India were a batter short in the series-opener though they ended up with 198. Jadeja is a like for like replacement for Axar Patel and his inclusion also makes the batting unit more solid.

The series finished at a 2-2 draw. ,India head coach Rahul Dravid, after the abandoned game, highlighted how important Rishabh Pant is for the team's furture, especially keeping the upcoming T20 World Cup in mind. The 23-year-old was made stand-in skipper after Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul missed the series. However, he has managed only 58 runs in the five innings that led to some questions being raised about his place in the shortest format.

Certainly, he is a very big part of our plans going ahead in next few months, Dravid said during the post-match press conference. He further added that he will not judge a player based on two or three games. ,Also read: Dinesh Karthik: A man of three decades,I just don't want to be critical. In the middle overs, you need people to play slightly attacking brand of cricket, to take the game on a little more.

The selectors will take the decision based on what they see and what happens in the future, availability of players. It is great we have got a lot of Indian captains doing well in the IPL. Hardik was one of them, Rahul did very well for LSG, Sanju captained RR. Shreyas did it at KKR as well. It helps people grow and develop as players. It really helps you grow as a person also, having to make decisions. It is great from our perspective to see that, Dravid added.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"28.6139","longitude":"77.209","name":"New Delhi, Delhi, India","city":"Delhi"},"keywords":"Indian,KL Rahul,IPL,South Africa,the Gujarat Titans,KKR,LSG,Hardik Pandya,the T20 World Cup,Baroda,Rishabh Pant,India,Rahul Dravid,Hardik,Sanju Samson","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-07T19:24:41+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"Xxlgj57Cfgmg","slug":"english/india-coach-rahul-dravid-opens-up-on-umran-maliks-chances-in-south-africa-series","slugV2":"sports/india-coach-rahul-dravid-opens-up-on-umran-maliks-chances-in-south-africa-series-640839/","title":"Rahul Dravid opens up on Umran Malik's chances in South Africa series","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_-NMFvqQsI.jpg","coverCaption":"Umran Malik of the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

While IPL is an indicator of current form but the national selection committee under Chetan Sharma at this point is not even remotely harbouring any such thoughts, at least not for the time being. However, one point that is being debated is whether skipper Rohit, his deputy Rahul and team's premier batter Kohli will occupy the top three slots in the batting order at the mega event, set to be played in Australia in October-November. In the last World T20, their batting order didn't yield favourable results and the approach of the top three was mildly criticised as all of them employed pretty similar styles of first settling down and then going for attack. Rohit since then has changed his approach and has been seen going hammer and tongs although big runs have eluded the India and MI captain. Rohit certainly would like to better his 155 runs from 9 games at a strike-rate of 123. Kohli's woeful form has continued for way too long now and 186 runs in 10 games at a lowly strike-rate of 116 is neither indicative of former skipper's quality nor his calibre. Rahul is playing the role of an anchor for LSG and with 451 runs at an average of 145, he has been in a league of his own. However there is a worrying piece of statistic which skipper Rohit and coach Rahul Dravid will have to address before Team India hits road with some 15-odd T20Is lined up before World Cup. The trio hasn't exactly set the Powerplay (first six overs) on fire. Sample this. In 10 games so far, Rahul has played 55 dots in Powerplay overs and has compiled a total of 141 off 126 balls in these overs across games with a strike-rate of 111.90. In those games in PP overs, he has hit 15 fours and four sixes. Rohit in this period has played 56 dots in powerplays in 9 games, scoring 136 off 104 balls at 130.76 strike-rate. In case of Kohli, he has batted in Powerplay in seven games and has played 16 dot balls but scored 61 runs in 55 balls during the period. The numbers show that all three are taking their time in the first six overs and perhaps even all three are playing, at least one -- preferably Rahul can come down the batting order and allow a bit of rejig around Rohit and Virat. So what do the experts think about the trio's batting order? Former chairman of selectors MSK Prasad and his colleague Devang Gandhi had slightly divergent views while analyst former India keeper Deep Dasgupta had a completely different take. These three are indispensable if fit. There is no way that you can leave anyone of them for the World T20. But yes, if I look at numbers, I might just try someone like Shikhar Dhawan at the opening slot and check Rahul out at No.4. He has a T20 hundred in Manchester some years back in middle-order, so why not, Prasad told PTI. But yes, I want Virat to take a significant break and before the Asia Cup, he should be fresh, up and running, Prasad said. For Gandhi, in a big tournament like the T20 World Cup, he isn't too keen on experimentation and doesn't want to rock the boat. These are your proven performers and when they play for India, it is completely different from the roles they have for their franchises. Also when we talk about changes, we should know who are the replacements? Are they good enough and better than those three in pressure scenario during a Pakistan game? You need to factor in, Gandhi said. For Dasgupta, T20 by nature is a game that warrants a different philosophy and guiding principles. In Tests or ODIs, we normally find players, check them out and accordingly assign roles to them. In T20, you need to do the reverse. You first decide roles and then fit in players. They can still play the trio as number 1, 2 and 3 but there has to be specific role which they should be told long before the tournament, Dasgupta said. Asked in case, a change is required, Dasgupta feels that Dhawan or Prithvi Shaw should be kept in the set-up and may be tried out if necessary.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"-33.8688","longitude":"151.2093","name":"Sydney NSW, Australia","city":"Sydney"},"keywords":"Kohli,Dasgupta,the T20 World Cup,Australia,India,Rohit,Virat,Prasad,Gandhi,Rohit Sharma,KL Rahul,Virat Kohli,Indian,IPL,Chetan Sharma","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-04T20:10:11+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"1wqnIYOqmpQS","slug":"english/which-rahul-dravid-2016-prediction-about-sanju-samson-rishabh-pant-came-true","slugV2":"india/which-rahul-dravid-2016-prediction-about-sanju-samson-rishabh-pant-came-true-117710/","title":"Which Rahul Dravid 2016 prediction about Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant came true?","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://images.opoyi.net/opoyi_EFIwhyT9GOvr.jpg","coverCaption":"Indian cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid talks to the players.

It must be noted that the BCCI was not initially interested to participate in cricket’s shortest format. It was because of administrative compulsion that the BCCI was forced to send a team to the 2007 T20 World Cup in South Africa. However, under a young leader with some of the country’s top players missing the marquee event, India turned out to be the unexpected champions. The format became hugely popular in India which saw BCCI launching the Indian Premier League. ,Though India sent a young team that had won the tournament, a forgetful tournament would have made us believe that the absence of the likes of Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly and even VVS Laxman was the reasons for India’s poor outing. Among the Fab 4, only Tendulkar played a sole T20I match for India. When the IPL started, Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid and Laxman were the marquee players, and they were appointed captains of Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Deccan Chargers respectively, given their stature in Indian cricket. Fab 4 struggled in IPL,But in reality, barring Tendulkar, none of them could achieve much success in IPL or T20 cricket. ,Talking about the possible reason for their failures, former BCCI national selector and ex-India wicketkeeper Saba Karim said the reason behind the Fab 4 struggling in T20 cricket was the timing of the entire T20 revolution in India. All four were in their early 30s and with T20 cricket considered a young man’s game, Karim feels they just could not adjust to the taxing demands of the format.

The track record of players like Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly has been brilliant in white-ball cricket. So, for them, it would have been easier for them to adjust to T20 cricket. I think they tried a lot, but since it was the last leg of their careers, it took time to adjust to T20s, Karim said on the YouTube show 'Khelneeti'.

How did we get here? tweeted Chopra on Monday.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"28.6139","longitude":"77.209","name":"New Delhi, Delhi, India","city":"Delhi"},"keywords":"['India', 'South Africa ', 'Batting ', 'KL Rahul', 'Virat Kohli', 'Rishabh Pant', 'Quinton de Kock']","originalPublishedOn":"2022-01-24T15:30:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"3FW8mnQX3BX7","slug":"english/2nd-odi-south-africa-beat-india-by-7-seven-wickets-win-series-2-0","slugV2":"india/2nd-odi-south-africa-beat-india-by-7-seven-wickets-win-series-2-131452/","title":"2nd ODI: South Africa beat India by 7 seven wickets, win series 2-0","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_esS-_dZTT.jpg","coverCaption":"Opening pair of Janneman Malan (91) and Quinton de Kock (78) took South Africa to a 2-0 series win on Friday at Boland Park, Paarl.

The match slipped away from India's grip during their innings once Pant was gone as the others simply failed to get going when the ball didn't come on to the bat and it was not a track that offered firm and even bounces.

Also Read: U-19 World Cup: India's campaign rocked by five COVID-19 positive cases,During his stroke-filled knock, Pant hit 10 fours and two sixes. Pant also formed a 115-run stand for the fourth wicket as India post 286 for 6. ,The second ODI is a must-win game for India as they lost the first game by 31 runs. India on Friday played an unchanged XI. Also Read: Harbhajan Singh tests positive for COVID-19; requests contacts to get tested,After Rahul and Pant’s dismissals, Shardul Thakur (40 not out off 38 balls) once again played a handy innings in the company of Ravichandran Ashwin (25 not out off 24 balls) to prop up the score somewhat. Skipper Rahul dropped anchor at one end but it was more like his own runs than ones that would have really helped the team's cause as he stayed at the wicket for more than 30 overs opening the innings and barely managed a fifty-plus score. Also Read: Virat Kohli breaks Sachin Tendulkar’s massive feat in 1st ODI vs South Africa,It didn't hurt much during their stand as Pant with 10 fours and two sixes took charge to keep the run-rate at a healthy five-plus per over. Both slow left-arm orthodox Keshav Maharaj (9-0-52-1) and left-arm wrist spinner Tabraiz Shamsi (9-0-57-2), who otherwise looked good, were made to look pedestrian by Pant.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"-33.7342","longitude":"18.9621","name":"Paarl, South Africa","city":"Paarl"},"keywords":"['Rishabh Pant', ' India', ' South Africa', ' Rahul Dravid', ' MS Dhoni', '2nd ODI']","originalPublishedOn":"2022-01-21T21:00:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"BGbn3IVhD7Mn","slug":"virat-kohli-breaks-sachin-tendulkars-massive-feat-in-1st-odi-vs-south-africa","slugV2":"india/virat-kohli-breaks-sachin-tendulkars-massive-feat-in-1st-odi-vs-south-africa-219623/","title":"Virat Kohli breaks Sachin Tendulkar’s massive feat in 1st ODI vs South Africa","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_hGJNz5iyl.jpg","coverCaption":"Indian skipper Virat Kohli practicing in the nets.
