-

Every year IPL has thrown new talents into the arena of world cricket. Some of them have managed to climb up the ladders of growth and create their own space in cricket. IPL has always been a blessing to the domestic and foreign players who are striving to imprint their names into the minds of the national selectors. Along with the uncapped players, the current international players also get a chance to revive their scorecards and make a comeback bid to the national team. Let us see some of the important player auction in IPL 2024.

The auction went well for some players, but for others, it didn’t turn out to be as sweet as expected. Players like Steve Smith and Phil Salt went unsold in the auction.  Phil Salt who had 2 centuries and 2 half centuries in 20 T20I matches was unlucky to miss out. The New Zealand all-rounders Kyle Jamieson and James Neesham also went unsold.

Best Bowlers in 90s 90s was a time when some of the best bowlers reigned in cricket. Many bowling records were made by the bowlers of that era. Team Predictors discuss about the two best bowlers from each team in 90s. 1. Australia: Glenn McGrath & Shane Warne   Glenn McGrath: Glenn McGrath was a disciplined bowler who was too precise with his line and length. Consistency was the term you could relate with the great bowler. McGrath was a part of 4 Australian World cup squads from 1996 to 2007. He has the most number of wickets in the world cup. The pacer has picked 71 wickets in world cup. He was the highest wicket taker in 2007 World cup with 26 scalps.  He is second in the list of fast bowlers behind James Anderson with the most number of wickets. McGrath has 563 test wickets from 124 matches at an average of 21.64. In ODI he has 381 wickets from 250 matches. McGrath was very economical in his outings and just hated to give away runs. The bowler has t...

Bangladesh Defeats Pakistan: Creates History

-
Image
Bangladesh created history at Rawalpindi when they defeated Pakistan for the first time in Test history. The long wait of Bangladeshi fans was fulfilled in the first test of the series. After winning the toss, the Bangladesh captain, Najmaul Hossain Shanto chose to field first. His decision proved right when Bangladesh bowlers dismissed Abdullah Shafique and captain Shan Masood for single-digit scores and Babar Azam for a duck. At one stage Pakistan was in a precarious situation of 16/3. But a half-century from Saim Ayub and centuries from Saud Shakeel and Mohammed Rizwan helped Pakistan reach a more than decent total of 448/6. Pakistan captain declared the innings at 448/6 and Mohammed Rizwan was stranded at 171*. The declaration later proved costly to Pakistan.   Bangladesh Openers Zakir Hasan And Shadman Islam Bangladesh in reply to Pakistan, made a mammoth total of 565 in the first innings. Opener Shadman Islam missed his century by 7 runs. Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan scored ha...

The year 2010 was a special one for ODI  fans,  because it was in that year, in which Sachin Tendulkar became the first batsman in ODI history to breach the 200-run mark.

Ambidextrous Bowlers

-
Image
  In cricket, we have seen cricketers with multiple talents. Some bowlers like Andrew Symonds and Sachin Tendulkar could ball both spin and gentle medium pace. This often left doubts in opponent batsmen’s minds. But times have changed and the cricketing minds are always in search of new plans and ideas. From early times we have seen ambidextrous cricketers. They used to bat with one hand and ball with the other. Players like Saurav Ganguly, Thisara Perera, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, and Kagiso Rabada used to ball with the right hand, but bat with the left. There were some like Zaheer Khan who bowled with his left hand but batted right-handed. But now we are witnessing some other talents in bowlers, who can bowl with both of their hands. This bunch of ambidextrous bowlers may become a boon to their respective teams in the future. Kamindu Mendis The Srilankan is primarily a left-handed batsman who plays for Srilanka in all three formats of the game. He has played 16 T20s, 9 OD...
