India vs South Africa 2nd ODI match will be played tomorrow at ACA-VDCA Stadium, Visakhapatnam. The match will start at 1:30 pm Indian time. Before that, the Indian team had a practice session, in which only 4 players participated. From Virat Kohli to Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul also did not become a part of this practice session.

The four players who participated in the practice session were Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Verma, Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy. Apart from head coach Gautam Gambhir, other members of the support staff also attended the session. Actually, the Indian team had not organized any practice session for the third ODI match, and it was an optional session. Therefore, apart from four players, all other players including Virat-Rohit decided to take rest.

Important match for Jaiswal-Sundar

This ODI match against South Africa will be especially important for Yashasvi Jaiswal and Washington Sundar. In the absence of Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal has opened with Rohit Sharma in both the matches, but he has scored only 40 runs in 2 innings. To stake claim for a place in the ODI team, it is very important for him to play in the third match.

On the other hand, Washington Sundar was put to bat at number 5 above KL Rahul in Ranchi, but was out after scoring only 13 runs. In the second match, he was run out after scoring just one run. Sundar has not been able to take a single wicket in bowling in this series. In such a situation, they too will have to perform better in every situation.

Indian ODI team’s vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is also not playing in this series. Rituraj Gaikwad got a chance in his place at number-4. He was out early in the first match, but capitalized on the opportunity by scoring a century of 105 runs in the second match.

Former Indian spin bowler Ravichandran Ashwin has once again targeted Gautam Gambhir. Before the India vs South Africa third ODI, Ashwin said that Gautam Gambhir should ensure that Washington Sundar is clearly explained his role. Sundar has not been able to perform well with neither bat nor ball in this series. He was sent to bat at number 5 in the first ODI and at number six in the second ODI.

In the first 2 ODI matches against South Africa, Washington Sundar has scored 13 and one runs respectively. Whereas in bowling he could not take even a single wicket. In both the matches, he was made to bowl only 7 overs. Earlier in the Test series, Sundar was sent to bat at number-3, but in the very next match, he was sent back to the lower order.

Ashwin angry at Gambhir

Regarding the turmoil in the batting order, Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, “When you are playing Washington Sundar, first of all you have to consider him as a bowler who can also bat. You should make him bowl the entire overs. If he keeps bowling, then his mentality will also be that of a bowler who can bat. If he keeps bowling a few overs and keeps batting in any order, then he will start losing his identity.”

Ashwin further said that the team management should not let Sundar go in such a situation from where he cannot understand anything. According to Ashwin, Sundar should get a clear answer regarding his role.

no finisher in the team

Ravichandran Ashwin also raised the question that Team India currently does not have any player who can finish the game. In the second ODI, Team India had scored 284 runs in 40 overs, but after that only 74 runs were scored in the last 10 overs. Ashwin said that in the absence of Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy, who hits big shots like him, is sitting on the bench.

Mohammed Shami was last seen playing for the Indian team in the Champions Trophy final. After that he could not get a place in the Test, T20 and ODI team also. Some time ago, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar had said that Shami is not completely fit, hence he could not return to the team. On the contrary, Shami said that he is completely fit only then he is able to play in Ranji Trophy. Meanwhile, Team India’s new selector and former Indian cricketer RP Singh has come to meet him.

Mohammed Shami is currently playing for Bengal in Ranji Trophy, whose second match is going on with Gujarat. Shami had dismissed 3 batsmen of Gujarat in the first innings. Shami has so far taken 10 wickets in only three innings of the Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season.

RP Singh met Mohammed Shami

On Sunday, the second day of the Bengal vs Gujarat match, RP Singh, one of the new selectors of Team India, met Mohammed Shami. According to a report published in Sportskeeda, RP Singh was present at Eden Gardens on Sunday. After the end of the second day’s play, he talked to Mohammed Shami. This meeting of the two has come at a time when the topic of ‘Shami vs Agarkar’ has been much discussed in the past.

Shami is proving Ajit Agarkar wrong

Team India’s Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said that due to not being completely fit, Shami did not get a chance in the Test series against West Indies. But Shami is not only bowling long spells for Bengal in Ranji Trophy but is also taking wickets at a rapid rate.

In the match against Uttarakhand, Shami bowled 39.3 overs in both the innings and took 7 wickets in the match. Now in the first innings against Gujarat, he bowled 18.3 overs and took 3 wickets.

When Harshit Rana was selected in Team India for the ODI series on the Australian tour, he was heavily criticized. Former Indian cricketer Chris Srikkanth had made a big claim that he got a place in the Indian team because of his closeness to Gautam Gambhir. Harshit silenced his critics by taking 4 wickets in the third ODI. Now Sunil Gavaskar has also jumped into the debate on Harshit Rana.

According to India Today, Sunil Gavaskar praised Harshit Rana and said, “Harshit Rana took 4 wickets, I am very happy with his performance, because he was surrounded by criticism. Strong criticism is beyond understanding because ultimately this is our team. You can criticize later, but not before. Criticizing a player before a match/series means you are demoralizing him.”

This is India’s team

Sunil Gavaskar said that after the conclusion of the series you can ask questions as to why he was selected. Gavaskar believes that after the selection of the team, everyone should support the team 100 percent and wish for its victory. He said, “Ultimately this is our team, the team of the whole of India.”

what did kris srikanth say

Before the start of India vs Australia ODI series, former Chris Srikkanth had said, “There is only one permanent member in the team, Harshit Rana. No one knows why he is in the team. By making constant changes, he will demoralize other players. You do not select those players who are doing well and select some players even when they are not doing well. Harshit Rana is an example of this, who helps Gautam Gambhir.”

BCCI can take big action in the Asia Cup trophy dispute. After not getting any response from Asian Cricket Council Chairman (ACC Chairman) Mohsin Naqvi, BCCI may seek intervention of the International Board in this matter in the next ICC meeting. It is being told that BCCI had sent a letter last week, in which the trophy was to be given to the Indian team, but no reply has come from Naqvi.

BCCI has made it clear that either the trophy should be given to Team India, or this issue will be raised in the upcoming ICC meeting. Let us tell you that the Asia Cup trophy is currently in Dubai, where it is kept in the office of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). In a media report, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia said that the Indian Board is taking one step at a time as per the law.

This matter started when the Indian team refused to accept the trophy from Mohsin after the 5-wicket victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup final. After some time Mohsin Naqvi left from there with the trophy.

A few weeks ago, an ACC meeting was held on 30 September, in that meeting Rajiv Shukla was India’s representative, he is also the current vice president of BCCI. In that meeting, Rajeev Shukla said that the trophy was the property of the Asian Cricket Council, hence Naqvi had no right to personally take the trophy out of the field.

Even after apologizing to the ACC board members, he refused to give the trophy to Team India. He said that if Team India wants to take the trophy, then it will have to personally come to the ACC office in Dubai and take the trophy from their hands.

It is almost 3 weeks since the Indian team became the Asia Cup champion. In the final, Team India defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets and won the title of Asia Cup champion for the ninth time. But even after so many days, the Indian team has not been able to get the trophy. In fact, after the final match, ACC and PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi took the Asia Cup Trophy with them. Now know where the trophy is kept?

According to a report published in Cricbuzz, the Asia Cup trophy is currently kept in the office of Asian Cricket Council (ACC) in Dubai. But it is difficult to say anything about when Team India will be able to get the trophy.

When will Team India get the trophy?

On September 30, a meeting of the Asian Cricket Council was held in Dubai, in which it was decided that the boards of the five Test playing Asian countries would discuss and find a solution to the trophy dispute. These five countries are India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. This meeting will be held in the beginning of next month, at the same time ICC meeting is also to be held.

It is being told that if Mohsin Naqvi does not come to this meeting, the controversy will increase further. In July this year, he did not participate in the ICC annual conference. Some people in the Asian Cricket Council believe that in this meeting to be held soon, Naqvi can send someone as a representative in his place.

What action will BCCI take?

According to the same report, a BCCI official says that there is still some time left in the meeting and during this time the board will consider its next decision. Let us remind you that recently ACC Chairman Mohsin Naqvi had issued an order saying that no one will hand over the trophy to Team India or BCCI without his permission.

Cricket world shaken by serious allegations against World Cup winning cricketer, leaked audio, sex scandal and tax fraud.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir is furious at former Indian cricket team selector and veteran player Kris Srikkanth. Gambhir says that it is shameful to target a 23-year-old budding cricketer. In fact, a few days ago, Kris Srikkanth, through his YouTube channel, had raised questions on the decision of taking Harshit Rana on Australian tour. He said that Harshit Rana is in the team only because he is Gambhir’s ‘favourite player’. The video clip of this statement of Srikant also went viral.

Gautam Gambhir got angry

On the other hand, Gautam Gambhir said in the press conference after the conclusion of the India vs West Indies second Test, “It is all shameful that you are targeting a 23-year-old player for running your YouTube channel. Harshit’s father is not a former chairman, a former cricketer or an NRI. He has played cricket on his own merit and will do so in the future also. If you talk like this about a 23-year-old player on social media, what effect will it have on his mind?”

If your child…

Gautam Gambhir did not stop here. Taking a direct aim at Kris Srikkanth, he said, “If your child starts playing cricket, imagine how you would feel if he is abused. He is a 23-year-old child, not a 33-year-old. Criticize me, I can tolerate it but doing this to a 23-year-old boy is unacceptable.”

What did Kris Srikkanth say?

Chris Srikkanth had raised questions on the selection process of Team India and said, “You do not select many players who perform well, but bring in the team those who do not do well. The biggest example of this is Harshit Rana, who helps Gautam Gambhir and hence is in the team.”

After defeating West Indies, Gautam Gambhir raised questions on Delhi’s pitch, said – there will be good conditions for fast bowlers in future…

Fast bowler Mohammed Shami last played in the Champions Trophy. At that time, Shami was included in the squad after Jasprit Bumrah was out of the tournament. After that the selectors also excluded him from the Test series against the Asia Cup, West Indies. BCCI has not given Shami a chance in ODIs and T20 series against Australia. Now Shami has turned to domestic cricket to remain in the eyes of the selectors.

According to The Telegraph, the head coach of the Bengal cricket team Laxmi Ratna Shukla has confirmed that Mohammed Shami can be seen playing the first match for Bengal in the Ranji Trophy, in which she has to face Uttarakhand. Earlier, Shami has questioned the decision of the selection committee. He said that he is fully fit to play domestic cricket. There was no problem related to injury that made him sit out of the Asia Cup.

Bengal coach Laxmi Ratna Shukla said, “I spoke to Shami 6 or 7 days ago, he has shown interest in playing a Ranji match. So we are in the hope that he will play the first match of the season for Bengal.” There is an update indication on Shami that he has no mood for retirement right now.

Recently, according to sources, a BCCI official said, “At present, the chances of returning to the Indian team are getting difficult for Shami. He was not able to perform well in the Dilip Trophy match. His age is increasing, while even in terms of speed, he did not appear in his best rhythm in the Dilip Trophy. But he would have to be active in domestic cricket to continue the game.”

The Ranji Trophy will be the first match of the Bengal team in the 2025-26 season against Uttarakhand from October 15, which is to be played at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata.
