Whenever I get opportunity to bowl in the game, I will: Suryakumar Yadav

Onecricket

India and Mumbai Indians batsman Suryakumar Yadav is often remembered for his match-winning performances with the bat for his side. But in a recent live session, the right-hander was seen discussing his bowling. 

Former wicket-keeper batsman Parthiv Patel had asked Surya when he would be returning to bowling to which the MI mainstay replied that he is continuously bowling in the nets.

“Why is he always behind my bowling? No, I have not stopped bowling, I keep bowling in the nets and whenever I get an opportunity to bowl in the game, I will be there,” Yadav said. 

He further revealed that MI and West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard loves his bowling and does it with great passion. 

“You can’t take away bowling from Pollard. He bowls from his heart and you can’t take that away from him, no chance,” added Surya. 

The Mumbai Indians were placed at the number four spot with 8 points and four wins from seven matches in the points table before the IPL was called off on May 4. 

The cash-rich league was suspended after there was a rise in Covid-19 cases within the franchise teams. 

KKR’s Sandeep Warrior and Varun Chakravarthy, SRH’s Wriddhiman Saha, DC’s Amit Mishra and CSK’s bowling coach L.Balaji and batting coach Mike Hussey had tested positive for the disease. 

The BCCI has cleared that the tournament has been suspended and not cancelled but is yet to decide the dates for the resumption.

Cricket needs India: Richard Hadlee

New Zealand legend Sir Richard Hadlee believes that Indian cricket at the moment is the financial core of the game all around. The great all-rounder feels that it is not only just the financial aspect, but the South Asian nation’s contribution as a whole is noteworthy for the past few decades. “There is no doubt India produces a lot of revenue for cricket. Without India, the face of world cricket would be very different, therefore cricket needs India,” Hadlee was quoted as saying to Cricbuzz. Talking about Virat Kohli’s men contribution to Test cricket, Hadlee pointed out the team’s fightback in Australia this summer. “India has also made an outstanding contribution to Test cricket - like in all formats,” he said. “Their Test performances in Australia were outstanding despite that 36 all-out blip. They bounced back superbly, and Test cricket came alive again,” added arguably the best Test all-rounder with 431 wickets and 3124 runs to his kitty. The 69-year-old also appreciated the depth in the Indian set up saying, “So many youngsters came into the team and performed. It showed the great depth of talented players India have in all formats.” The Christchurch born, on being asked about Indian skipper Kohli’s aggressive approach, said that all sports at the highest level are about competing. But then Hadlee went on to suggest that there is a fine line between gamesmanship and being boorish. “There will always be a fine line as to whether gamesmanship from a player or a team goes too far. I quite like seeing any player expressing himself towards the opposition by having a real presence - it is a form of intimidation that can be unsettling,” he said. “I see Virat as being a very passionate and competitive cricketer with a strong desire for himself and the team to succeed,” added the legend with a batting average of 27.16 and bowling average of 22.29 in Test cricket.

PSL 6: Naseem Shah released from PSL for non-compliant RT-PCR result

Pakistan and Quetta Gladiators fast-bowler Naseem Shah has been released from the remaining games of the Pakistan Super League’s sixth edition. The young bowler came to the designated hotel in Lahore with a non-compliant RT-PCR result and thus forced the PSL authority to have no choice but release him. As per the Covid-19 protocols for the remaining HBL Pakistan Super League 6, all the players were asked to assemble at the hotel with an RT PCR negative report for Covid-19. The report needed to be at most 48 hours old, however, Naseem presented a PCR report from a test that was conducted on 18 May. Reacting to the sequence of events, Babar Hamid, Director – Commercial and head of HBL PSL 6 said, “The PCB doesn’t take any pride in releasing a young fast bowler from its marquee event but if we will ignore this breach, then we will potentially put at risk the entire event.” “We appreciate Quetta Gladiators for accepting this decision as it confirms we are all aligned to strictly following and implementing the protocols,” he added. Naseem, who was part of the Gladiators pace attack alongside Mohammad Hasnain and Usman Shinwari has so far played nine Tests and 14 T20s. PCB further went on to assure all that no compromise with health and Covid-19 would be tolerated. “This decision will also send out a loud and clear message to all involved in the remaining matches that the PCB will not compromise on any violations and will expel the player or player support personnel irrespective of his stature and standing in the game if they are found to be flouting the prescribed protocols or regulations,” Hamid said. For the remaining 20 matches of the PSL that would be conducted at the Shiekh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, the Pakistani players would leave for the destination on May 26 in charter flights.
