Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The 'Moving Day' lived up to expectations as the game ebbed and flowed to leave us with all four results possible with two days remaining in the Test. Considering England's 'Bazball' approach it will not be a surprise if the Test does not go into the fifth day and we get the result on Day 4 itself. On the other hand England will fancy their chances of chasing this mountain of a target going into Day 4. On Day 3 it was all set up by James Anderson in the first half hour before the spinners came to the fore to not let the game drift away from them. Although the visitors lost Ben Duckett before the close of the play and there are doubts over Joe Root's participation due to a finger injury England have ample firepower in the shed to get the remaining 332 runs. The first hour will be pivotal and could heavily influence the outcome of the Test. Who will blink first on Day 4? India's outing on Day 3 was headlined by Shubman Gill but the rest of the batting unit's performances left a lot to be desired. At one stage in the game on the third day they looked to be on course to take their lead over 400 but a bizarre passage of play after Tea saw their innings meander and eventually they were bowled out setting England a target of 399. The hosts have the runs on the board but will still be wary of England's ability to pull off big chases. Given their efforts with the ball in the first inning Rohit Sharma and his men start as slight favourites to win the Test from here more so with the surface expected to deteriorate. India's centurion of the second inning Shubman is in for a chat. He says that it was a good effort today but they could gotten more runs on the board. He talks about the early LBW review going his favour which gave him confidence. He mentions that wicket an easy one bat as the odd ball is keeping some them turning sharp. He ends saying that his father comes to watch most games he actually feels good when he is there watching. When asked about the situation of the game he responds by saying that it still looks 70-30 in favour of India but England have batting to chase. Pitch Report (Dinesh Karthik and Eoin Morgan): Dinesh Karthik: "It's day four of the fantastic Test match. All three days so far have produced different variants for bowlers and the batters. We have Eoin Morgan here. Please take it away." Eoin Morgan: "Good morning DK and to everyone. Of all the days played so far I think this is the most significant pitch report we will do today. We have seen a couple of balls with some variable bounce off spinners and seamers. When you land the ball short of a good length there is a huge crack amongst all of the cracks. Bumrah got a couple of balls to move and shoot low. It was challenging for Crawley yesterday. There is an absolute spider web of cracks today. Predominantly that crack will interest the English batters right-handed batters in particular." Dinesh Karthik: "Joe Root turns one big against Yashasvi Jaiswal. There is an effect of cracks for the spinners as well. If you look at the right-handed batters if I bend forward and look there are a few cracks here that India will be looking to exploit. The question is can the Indian bowlers keep plugging at it or will it be the day when England bring out their sweeps and reverse-sweeps and trouble the Indian bowlers just like they did in Hyderabad?"

Five times in fact since 2000. But only the great Australian team of 2004 had the legs to see an early lead to a series win. That's how hard it is to keep throwing punches in these conditions without copping them back with interest. Even in this decade of impregnability India have found ways to overturn early deficits. In Bengaluru they produced a clinic in attractional bowling. Four years later in Chennai they went the other way and raged on a raging turner. And so on to Vizag 2024 where the hosts will be out to convince the rest of the world that their facade is not in fact fraying and that they simply don't lose consecutive home Tests well not since 2012 anyway. But time is what it is and Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid now have to protect a proud record with a squad that has fewer Test runs. Joe Root and where Ravichandran Ashwin is both the highest wicket-taker and second-highest run and century maker. The captain-coach pair seek quick solutions while colliding head-on with a team that has spent the last 18 months running on an irresistible quantum of jeopardy and the last few weeks. Sweeping any rotating red spherical object out of sight. Lest it is lost in the afterglow it is worth remembering that India were still India in Hyderabad just a little less super-sharp. They led by 190 and had chances that they didn't take. In the end they were done for by what was in many ways a knock for the ages. It'll be interesting to see how they play in the follow up. Imitation however subtle will both be a hat-tip and an acknowledgement of shedding inhibitions. However should they lose the toss again and find the pitch to be similar India will ask for better control from their bowlers and more enterprise from their batters as well as the captain. For the second time in two years Rohit has been properly challenged at home with the marker for the series this time laid down very early. What happens next is a tantalising prospect. Both players are good against spin but Patidar might seem to be ahead in the pecking order by virtue of being called up to the squad earlier to replace Virat Kohli. India The hosts have several ways to go about making up for the double blow of losing KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja. It is certain that at least one of Rajat Patidar or Sarfaraz Khan will debut in the middle-order. The team management did their best to keep the identity and the number of debutants under wraps with both contenders batting even in the optional net session the day before the game. England Jack Leach will miss the Test with a knee injury and tall off-spinner Shoaib Bashir the visa issues behind him will replace him in the XI. James Anderson was at his menacing best in the nets two days out from the game and has been picked as the sole seamer in the XI in place of Mark Wood. What to expect: Spin but not of the extreme kind. Last time when India went down to England in Chennai they produced rank turners. But the absence of four all-time greats from the team might call for a more measured approach. This one is a black soil wicket with a smattering of dried grass to bind it. The two Tests played at this venue have been characterised by the slightly old-school subcontinental slow burn progression before culminating in fifth-day jeopardy which is how this one could also go unless the warmer temperatures aid faster disintegration.

India v Afghanistan 2nd T20 Live | IND vs AFG 2nd T20 Live Scores & Commentary | Afghanistan Innings
India vs Afghanistan 2nd T20 Live Scores This Match Will be Played at Holkar Cricket Stadium Indore on 14th January 2024 This Match Will Start at 7.00pm From Indian Standard time. IND vs AFG 2nd T20 Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media.

India's spirits are soaring sky-high after a stellar performance in Mohali led by Shivam Dube's scintillating 60 off 40 in the run chase and a crucial wicket in the first inning. Youngster Jitesh Sharma too added fireworks with the bat and stabilized the middle order and Rinku Singh helped India chase 158 and with Virat Kohli back in the pack for the rest of the series the team looks rock-solid and much more assured. Afghanistan though posted a decent total last time thanks to the ‘President’ Mohammad Nabi’s fantastic knock down the order. However the tourists missed the magic of Rashid Khan due to a back injury and that huge void was indeed felt. The hosts clinched the victory and now India’s eyes are set on sealing the series in Indore. The anticipation is through the roof and we're in for another exciting showdown! Also the good news for all the staunch cricket enthusiasts is that the two greats of the sport. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be together seen donning the Blues in the shortest format for the first time since the T20 World Cup 2022 Semi-Final. It is now time for the 2nd T20I between India and Afghanistan at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. India are already 1-0 up in the three-game series and will look to seal the series right away. It was a very chilly evening in Mohali last time around and on a stellar batting track Afghanistan put on a decent total which was well below par. The dynamic duo of Ibrahim Zadran and Gurbaz up top did get runs under. Their belt but neither looked convincing enough. Rohit Sharma the skipper of India says there's no particular reason to bowl first and that it's just the nature of the ground. He says that it's a chasing ground with pretty small boundaries. He's happy with the previous game and says that the guys are executing the plans being spoken to them. Says that they have asked for specific roles for the guys and they are doing accordingly so far. not much they don't have any baggage and it is all about backing them allowing them to be free on the ground. He says that they will do things keeping the World Cup in mind but adds that they they know results are also important. Further adds that they want to try out a few things but the end result also matters a lot and winning is more important than anything. There's a huge roar in the crowd as he says Virat Kohli is in the XI with Yashasvi Jaiswal in place of Tilak Varma and Shubman Gill. Ibrahim Zadran the captain of Afghanistan says that they will try to bat well and put a good score on the board. Adds that they also wanted to bowl first due to the conditions and the ground being a small one. Tells that they made some mistakes in the last game and they have discussed about it and will look to execute their plans better. Says that Rahmat Shah is not playing and Noor Ahmad comes in for him. Ends by saying that playing an extra spinner is a tactical decision considering the ground conditions. PITCH REPORT: Deep Dasgupta and Nick Knight are pitch side. Nick Knight says that it's pretty much flat and traditionally a very high-scoring venue and obviously the smaller boundaries are one of the reasons. Adds that the surface is really flat and cracks are firm. Adds that there won't be any turn maybe a bit of a little movement initially with the new ball. He says that the team who wins would look to bat under the lights and with the dew coming batting first will have an additional advantage. India won the toss and elected to bowl first.

India vs Afghanistan 1st T20 Live | IND vs AFG 1st T20 Live Scores & Commentary
India vs Afghanistan 1st T20 Live This Match Will be Played at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium Mohali on 11th January 2023 This Match Will Start at 7.00pm From Indian Standard time. IND vs AFG 1st T20 Live Commentary By Sports Updates by Chandan. Follow us on Social Media. Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/Sports-Updates-by-Chandan-108054670939374/?ref=bookmarks YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr2IiLqoVoqWHdyWW_inRkg YouTube 1: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdEtpnaEyqVJ3p5Xm3OqMEg Twitter: https://twitter.com/techindia251995?s=09 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chandan_singh1/ Telegram: https://t.me/sportsupdatesbychandan With India involved there is no stopping cricket. In the first full assignment of 2024 the Men in Blue welcome Afghanistan for a three-match T20I series. The Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium Mohali will host the series opener on Thursday (January 11). Adding full stop all the questions rumours the Indian fans are over the moon see Rohit T20I captain return along with the run-machine Kohli in the squad. However the Head Coach Rahul Dravid has confirmed that Kohli will miss the opening T20I due to personal reasons. India's very own Mr 360 Suryakumar Yadav who led the side in South Africa drew the three-match series 1-1 will miss this series and the entire domestic season due to an ankle injury following which he was diagnosed with sports hernia for which the stylish right-hander will soon undergo surgery. Hardik Pandya who is deemed as India's future captain has been in the headlines for the recent trade with Mumbai Indians (MI) and being named as the franchise's skipper for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) Season despite MI retaining Rohit Sharma will miss this series as the star all-rounder continues his recovery from an ankle injury he sustained in the ODI World Cup 2023. In addition to these the management has decided to rest Ravindra Jadeja Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj while Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan miss out as well. Hitman Rohit will be opening with young dasher Yashasvi Jaiswal with Ruturaj Gaikwad (finger injury) missing out. In the absence of Kohli Shubman Gill is the next best fit for the most important number three position. Tilak Varma Sanju Samson who is back in the T20I set-up after a long time and Rinku Singh will take care of the middle order. Samson's inclusion means Jitesh Sharma might not feature despite impressive performances recently. Arshdeep Singh Avesh Khan and Mukesh Kumar are the preferred three-man seam attack. Either Kuldeep Yadav or Ravi Bishnoi will partner with Axar Patel in the spin department. In what was a big blow to the tourists Rashid Khan the regular T20I skipper of Afghanistan who travelled with the squad to India has been ruled out of the series after failing to prove his fitness on the eve of the opening game. Rashid missed the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) due to lower-back surgery and also missed the recently concluded three-match T20I series against the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Ibrahim Zadran will lead the Afghan Atalans for the second consecutive series with a 2-1 win against UAE in the recently concluded assignment being the first. Mujeeb Ur Rahman after being rusticated from the Melbourne Renegades squad after a few games due to the cancellation of NOCs by the Afghanistan Cricket Board is back in the camp and will hold the key for the visitors in the absence of Rashid. Noor Ahmad Qais Ahmad Fazalhaq Farooqi and Naveen-ul-Haq are the rest of the known faces in the bowling department with the experienced Mohammad Nabi Karim Janat Azmatullah Omarzai and Gulbadin Naib are the all-rounders. Rahmat Shah Rahmanullah Gurbaz Najibullah Zadran and Zazai are the top batters who have been putting consistent performances for the touring party. Afghanistan in pursuit of its first win against India will come hard at the hosts with healthy IPL experience on its back. Can they spring a surprise on India and hinder their final leg of World Cup preparations? Rohit is set to join Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top of the order. And with Kohli unavailable in Mohali Shubman will take the No.3 spot. Samson might take the gloves after his century show in South Africa.

India vs Afghanistan 1st T20 Live | India vs Afghanistan Live Score | IND vs AFG Live Commentary
#livestream #indvsafg #cricket India vs Afghanistan 1st T20 Live | India vs Afghanistan Live Score | IND vs AFG Live Commentary Business query: info.iqbalsports@gmail.com Join Telegram: https://t.me/iqbalsports Preview: The narrative of Virat Kohli's comeback in T20Is will have to wait. India head coach Rahul Dravid revealed that Kohli will not be available for the opening T20I against Afghanistan in Mohali due to personal reasons. The tourists, on the other hand, will be without the experience of Rashid Khan, who has been ruled out of the entire series. The series marks the final leg of India's preparations for the 2024 T20 World Cup and Rohit Sharma, who has not featured in the shortest format for India since their semifinal exit at the 2022 World Cup in Australia, is back at the helm. Kohli might not be around to play to the comeback narrative but Rohit surely is. After a middling IPL 2023 season, Rohit turned around his form and approach to white-ball cricket with a near 600-run World Cup campaign at home silencing all critics. His recall -- alongside Kohli's -- for the only international series left ahead of the World Cup can't be a stop-gap arrangement, and indicates that he and Kohli still remain in India's plans for the marquee event six months later. Afghanistan, meanwhile, have been dealt with a cruel blow on the eve of the series opener with their experienced allrounder Rashid ruled out. The regular T20I captain of the side hasn't played competitive cricket since the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, skipping the ongoing BBL due to a lower-back surgery. The India series was touted to be his comeback and he did travel with the team, but on the eve of curtain-raiser he hasn't been deemed match-fit yet and will continue his rehabilitation instead on the sidelines. What is heartening for the visitors is the return of players like Mujeeb ur Rahman and Naveen-ul-Haq, whose IPL experience they can bank on, after the Afghanistan Cricket Board recently softened its stance regarding the trio's participation in franchise leagues after having temporarily cancelled the NOCs in between. As a result, Mujeeb wasn't part of the recent UAE series while the other two had managed to reach a compromise with the Board just in time to feature on that trip. Squads: Afghanistan Squad: Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz(w), Ibrahim Zadran(c), Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Qais Ahmad, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Noor Ahmad, Mohammad Saleem Safi, Karim Janat, Ikram Alikhil, Fareed Ahmad Malik, Rahmat Shah, Gulbadin Naib India Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Sanju Samson(w), Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Jitesh Sharma, Washington Sundar, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi aaj ka match live cricket match jio cinema live cricket match today live match today cricket live match today online live match today how to watch cricket live in mobile live cricket 2022 लाइव क्रिकेट स्कोर India vs Afghanistan live match today live cricket match star sports live cricket match today Iqbal Sports live live match today Hotstar Iqbal Sports hindi commentary India vs Afghanistan Live Afghanistan vs India Live IND vs AFG Live AFG vs IND Live Match Today AFG vs IND Live #livestream #livescore #trending Score Credit: crex.live Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

It was an extraordinary day of Test match cricket as ball dominated the bat yesterday. India get the first-innings lead. It was the pace bowler's paradise as 23 wickets fell on the first day for 270 runs. At the end of it all the Test match is nicely poised with India having their slight noses in front but South Africa are not out of it by any means. Today's play will be crucial for both sides. Let's recap you how day 1 panned out. The Proteas lost de Zorzi and Stubbs cheaply. It was South African skipper Dean Elgar who won the toss and elected to bat first on a challenging surface. Little did he know what was to follow thereafter. South Africa were blown away by a certain Mohammed Siraj as wickets fell at regular intervals. Only two players crossed double digits in David Bedingham. Kyle Verreynne as they scored 12 and 15 respectively. The rest of them fell for single digits as South Africa were bowled out for 55 in the first session of play in 23.2 overs. Mohammed Siraj was the star of the show with figures of 6/15 in 9 overs. Mukesh Kumar picked up a couple of wickets in his 2.2 overs. While Jasprit Bumrah picked up a couple of wickets for 25 runs in 8 overs. Only 4 bowlers were required to be used by the Indians. In reply India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck. Shubman Gill and skipper Rohit Sharma built a partnership of 55 runs for the second wicket with Rohit scoring 39 off 50 balls while Shubman Gill scored 36 off 55 balls. Both getting starts and getting out. Virat Kohli came in and looked at ease as he held the innings together with his 46 off 59 balls and top scored in the innings. India were 153/4 at one stage but then shockingly lost 6 wickets for 0 runs in a span of 12 balls to be bowled out for 153 with an overall lead of 98 runs. Wickets were shared by the South African pacers. Kagiso Rabada Lungi Ngidi and Nandre Burger all picked up three wickets apiece while there was a run out in the innings as well. Faced with a deficit of 98 runs South Africa put on an improved batting display. The openers Aiden Markram Dean Elgar put on 37 runs for the first wicket. Dean Elgar in his final innings fell for 12 to Mukesh Kumar. David Bedingham has just come into the crease. Aiden Markram is holding the innings together with his 36* off 51 balls as South Africa ended Day 1 in their second innings at 62/3 after 17 overs. Shubman Gill completes 1000 Test runs. Three bowlers used by India so far in this innings. Mukesh Kumar picked up a couple of wickets while Jasprit Bumrah got rid of Tristan Stubbs with a beauty. Siraj is still wicketless while Prasidh Krishna is yet to be introduced into the attack. South Africa win the toss and opted to bat first India make two changes whereas South Africa make three. Tristan Stubbs making his Test debut Elgar opens the batting in his final Test. Siraj draws first blood by dismissing Markram on two Elgar chops one back onto the stumps to give Bumrah his first and fall on four Debutant Stubbs departs on three as the Indian pace duo of Bumrah and Siraj breathed fire South Africa were reduced to 15/4. As a strangle down leg ended de Zorzi’s stay at the crease on two. Rohit starts positively and hits Ngidi for three boundaries in the second over KG Rabada draws first blood for South Africa by dismissing Jaiswal on a duck. Burger is greeted with three boundaries by the Indian skipper 50 comes up for India in the eighth over. Audio Content Disclaimer For This Content This is self-created content and not copied content.

For all the hype around India being favourites to secure an away series victory against South Africa they were outclassed inside three days of the opening Test. Despite the inexperience factor and the injury to skipper Temba Bavuma. The likes of Marco Jansen Nandre Burger David Bedingham and Tony de Zorzi displayed maturity and supported seniors Kagiso Rabada and Dean Elgar - to register an innings and 32-run win over the two-time WTC finalists. Rohit Sharma the India skipper didn’t offer excuses for India’s abject surrender. “We were not good enough to win Rohit said. If we have to win Test matches we have to come together collectively and we didn't do that. Guys have visited South Africa before we know what to expect and everyone has their own plan. We were challenged we didn't adapt well. India would look for a complete performance to end the tour on a high. All eyes would be on their seniors Rohit Virat Kohli KL Rahul and Bumrah as the visitors hunt for a series-levelling victory. India batters desperately need a mixture of the patience exhibited by Rahul during his 101-run knock in the first innings at SuperSport Park. The fluency shown by Kohli in the second innings. In the bowling department India would aim to strike in pairs to shoot down the Proteas. South Africa on the other hand have an early lead. It’s about keeping their plans simple and wrapping things up at Newlands. If the hosts can continue their dominance it’ll go down as an incredible result given they lost the ODI series 2-1. They would need the same discipline and clarity to stifle India. Being 1-0 up in a series is a position of strength but South Africa would be aware that India are no pushovers and are capable of bouncing back. Best example - 36 all out to 2-1. India: Uncapped pace bowler Avesh Khan has been picked as a replacement for Mohammed Shami who has an ankle injury. Ravindra Jadeja who missed the first Test due to back spasms is likely to return. Those are the greatest memories you can share with your team and everyone who has an influential role in the background. Shardul Thakur who sustained a blow to his left shoulder during an optional practice session last week is fine and available for selection. South Africa: Bavuma who suffered a hamstring strain in Centurion has been ruled out of the New Year’s Test. Dean Elgar will be the Proteas stand-in captain in what will be his final Test. Meanwhile Zubayr Hamza has been added to the squad as Bavuma’s replacement. In another big blow pace bowler Gerald Coetzee too will miss the second Test due to pelvic inflammation. Head-to-Head Record in Tests 43 Matches Played 18 - South Africa Won 15 - India Won 10 - Drawn. Usually when India touch down in Cape Town they are on the threshold of a dream. Thrice since 1992 have they arrived here to play the decider winning which would have enabled them to tick South Africa off their list of places to win a series at. What to expect: A full house and midsummer heat which should take most of the spice out of the pitch. The surface looked less green on Tuesday than it did on Monday.

One between Australia and Pakistan is going on amidst the rain threat at the famous MCG while the other is all set to take place at the SuperSport Park in Centurion between the hosts South Africa and India. This is the opening Test of the two-match series and two teams are getting ready for a battle of the pacers. Mukesh Kumar is seen bowling on the side pitch. The wet patches are being dried using a hair-dryer. The festive season is in the air and as we eagerly await the arrival of the New Year it's time for some serious business on the cricket field. Following the conclusion of the limited-overs series South Africa and India now meet in the highly anticipated Freedom Trophy. The two-match Test series begins with the Boxing Day Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion before the action shifts to Cape Town for the second and final Test. This series marks the start of South Africa's Test Championship cycle and they will be looking to start the campaign with a win. The Proteas will be led by their permanent Test captain Temba Bavuma and he will be keen to lead by example throughout the series. The hosts have a lethal pace attack in Gerald Coetzee Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi. Keshav Maharaj is the lone spinner in the squad while Nandre Burger. Wiaan Mulder and Marco Jansen form the all-rounder options. The bowling line-up seems settled but the batting will be put to the test in this series. All eyes will be on Dean Elgar who has decided to hang up his boots after this series and will be hoping to end his career on a high. Alongside Elgar and Bavuma Aiden Markram will have to shoulder the responsibility while Tony de Zorzi and Keegan Petersen are among. Rohit Sharma Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill will form the core of India's top order while Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer will solidify the middle order. In all likelihood KL Rahul will don the gloves in what will be his first Test since February 2023. Ravindra Jadeja is always a force to be reckoned with with the ball and he also makes his presence felt with the bat more often in Tests than in the two white-ball formats. In the bowling department. The last time these two sides met in a Test series in the Rainbow Nation India came very close to creating history but South Africa recovered from an early setback to win the series 2-1. The stage is set for what promises to be a real cracker of a series between two giants. Who are you backing to land the first blow in this Boxing Day Test? It is confirmed now- Krishna is debuting for India in Test cricket. He receives his Test cap from the Bumrah. Pitch Report | Shaun Pollock: "It's a decent grass covering and South Africa is hoping for some movement. However they prefer to bat first since the pitch tends to slow down and become unpredictable as the game progresses. Considering the anticipated weather conditions it wouldn't be surprising if they opt for a spinner. With a significant amount of expected rain the playing conditions are unlikely to undergo substantial changes. Winning the toss and capitalizing on the initial period would be crucial." Ravi Shashtri: "Opt for batting first and endure the initial two hours. Even if you find yourselves two wickets down by lunch you'll be well-placed to reach a total of 280 or 290. Despite the seemingly green pitch there's more to it than meets the eye and persistence is key. Given the prevailing weather conditions consider fielding three fast bowlers an all-rounder and a spinner." Virat Kohli Rahul Dravid and Jasprit Bumrah are bowling on the side pitch now.
