Is there any better wicketkeeper-batsman than England's Jos Buttler at this moment in the world?. Well Australian stand-in skipper Tim Paine don't think so.## After humiliating 5-0 lose to England, Australia's stand-in skipper said that it is a hard time for Australian cricket. But he was nothing sort in praising England's wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler and reckons that he is the best wicketkeeper-batsman in the world at the moment.## "He's good. He's very good," said the Australia captain. “Right now, at the moment, he'd have to be the best white-ball wicket-keeper batsman in the world. I don't think there are too many guys to challenge him. MS Dhoni is pretty good, but right at this moment, Jos is at the absolute peak of his powers.## “He understands his one-day game so well and knows his strengths inside-out and just doesn't go away from him. He's someone for our batters to watch and see first-hand. Those experiences are going to be really good for D'Arcy Short or Travis Head, to see him and Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy at their best.”## Jos Buttler helped England to whitewash Australia with a sublime 110* in the final ODI where he single-handedly took his side over the line. He awarded Man Of The Match for his match-winning knock as well as Man Of The Series for scoring 275 runs in 5 innings with an astonishing average of 137.50.## England's skipper Eoin Morgan wasn't stingy with his words to praising his teammates after his brilliant performance in final ODI.## "To produce an innings like that when we needed, and to engage in partnerships with … they’re not tail-enders, they’re our lower order … it’s something that we saw in the past as well (from Buttler) and it’s something that is taken for granted,” said Morgan.## “He used all his experience today, particularly on a wicket that was two-paced, and managed to get us over the line somehow. When he plays like that, he creates a lot of belief in the changing room and amongst the guys, and that rubs off on the confidence level as well. Outstanding.”## England whitewash Australia which is their first ever whitewash over their arch-rivals in one-day cricket. On the other hand, after losing 5-0, Australia slipped to 6th rank which is their lowest since 1984 in ODIs.## For more updates and news, stay tuned to us.## Thanks for the reading.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri were all pumped up before heading to Ireland and the United Kingdom tour where India will play 2 T20s against Ireland and 3 T20s, 3 ODIs and 5 Tests against England.## Virat Kohli who missed out Afghanistan's Test due to the neck injury was talking to the media in New Delhi on Friday, June 22 along with coach Shastri.## Kohli has been moved on from last England tour where he failed to make an impact and expecting from people to get over of it.## "I think a lot of people have held on to the last tour for too long. We've had the Champions Trophy as well which has totally been forgotten - I don't think that was in Bangladesh. I was asked this question when we reached England (what are you looking forward to?), and I said taking a walk and having coffee on the street. My thinking is very different when I go on a tour, I literally am looking forward to enjoying the country, am not even thinking of the cricket. I know if I'm in a good zone, I will play well. If I think like how people are thinking on the outside, then things don't happen.## Virat is excited to get back on the field after missing Afghanistan Test and looking forward to playing abroad.## "This is just another series for me individually, but for us as a team, this is a very exciting time. After what happened in South Africa, we're actually looking forward to playing more difficult Test cricket. That I feel is the best thing that can happen.## "You don't want to go to England saying, 'Oh the Test series in one month'. We want it to actually be sooner. That's the kind of excitement we take along with us. It's the same case with the ODIs and the T20s. It's just a great phase for Indian cricket."## When it comes to fitness, no one can match Virat Kohli even though he missed out a Test due to injury he is one of the fittest players of this generation.## "I'm 100% ready to go. The neck is fine now. I have had six to seven sessions in Mumbai. I have had a good practice. I am absolutely ready to go. Went through a fitness test as well so the body is feeling fine. I'm actually excited to get back on the field which is a very rare thing when you play so much cricket but I think these sort of breaks really help and mentally they make you fresh and excited to go back on the pitch again," Kohli said.## "In hindsight, I feel what has happened is the best for me. I wanted (to experience) the more difficult phase of those conditions. I wanted the wet and damp conditions where Puji [Cheteshwar Pujara], Ishant and Varun played in. But in hindsight, if I was 90% with my body and used to the conditions rather than 110% and fresh, I'd much rather be where I am today."## Coach Ravi Shastri also believes that fitness enhanced your ability to do well and play good cricket. He was talking about benefits of Yo-Yo test which has become mandatory for selection in the team.## "You have a certain ability, but if you're fit then that same ability gets enhanced. And that's why we emphasise on this yo-yo thing. And whoever thinks it's a one-off, he's sadly mistaken. He can take a walk. The philosophy is simple. You pass, you play. You fail, you sit. The captain leads from the front, the selectors are on the same page, the entire team management is on the same page and the boys have responded extremely well."## Virat said this time its ideal condition for us as we will get enough time before playing 5-match Test series, unlike last time where India play Test cricket before limited overs series.## "Preparation, it's ideal. You get to play ODIs, then T20s and by the time the Test starts, it's already a month. There's a lot of time to acclimatise. The plan is the same as that was in South Africa, against Sri Lanka, and what was there before. The strategy doesn't change. Mindset doesn't change if we don't perform in one series or another. Our focus is on cricket. We don't have to do anything different. We have to play with a match-winning mindset. It's not about individual players, it's about the team."## For more updates and news, stay tuned to us.## Thanks for the reading.##

Former Indian coach and the highest wicket-taker for India in Test, legendary Anil Kumble believes that this time India will have a great chance to win the Test series when they take on England for the 5-match series in England.## This will also be a chance for Virat & Co to assert their supremacy as the No.1-ranked side in the world as conditions will be ideal for India, feels Kumble.## "I feel we possess a good all-around unit. We have a strong bowling group which can pick 20 wickets consistently. If you look at the batting line-up, we possess a lot of experience.## "On an average, the number of Test matches played by our batsmen stands at about 50. Also, the experience of having toured there before will definitely help as they will be aware of the conditions," said Kumble, during an event on Thursday evening.## However, Kumble feels spinners will play a key role this time around. The wickets in the month of July and August will be more suitable for the spinners and that will help in India's chances this time.## "Spinners will definitely play a major role on this tour of England. In the second half of the summer, we do know that the wickets will be more suitable for them. There will be wear and tear on the wickets, and spinners will come into play much earlier than in the first half," Kumble said.## "Conditions in the first half - in the months of May and June - are more challenging in England (for spinners) because of the rain and dampness," he added.## Apart from England tour, Anil Kumble also backs BCCI's approach towards yo-yo test after it's been criticised in recent time as Mohammad Shami and Ambati Rayudu had been dropped from the Test and ODI squad after failing in this fitness test.## "I am sure every player would have been told that this is the benchmark. This is the test and this is the number you need to get or else you are not going to be there is what would have probably been communicated to them (by the board)," he said.## For more updates and news, stay tuned to us.## Thanks for the reading.

Since Indian U-19 team has been announced, there is a lot of talk about Legendary Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun Tendulkar, who also selected in the squad for Sri Lanka tour.## All eyes will be on him Arjun Tendulkar when India will take on Sri Lanka. However, India's U-19 new bowling coach Sanath Kumar said that he will be treated like other players in the team.## When he was asked how will Arjun be treated in the team as there has already been a lot of talk about his selection, to which Sanath Kumar told PTI,## "I don't know about that as it's not my area of concern but as a coach, all the boys are equal for me.

It was the contest between number 1 Test team India and newly entered in Test cricket Afghanistan. After being successful in ODIs and T20s, it was expected from Afghanistan to do well in the longer version of the cricket also. But unfortunately,, they couldn't make their mark as they lost by an innings and 262 to India within two days on Friday June 15.## On the other hand, it was India who was faverioute to win before going into the match against Afghanistan. But with the way they had won the match, shows that how dominating team India has became in Test cricket.## Even though India were playing without their star batsman Virat Kohli still they were ruthless. After crushing Afghanistan with bat, it took only two sessions to dismissed Afghanistan's batting and handed them huge defeat within two days.## "This feels really special. It is always an honour to lead your country and we wanted to be ruthless. Guys like Vijay and Shikhar got those hundreds, Rahul chipped in and Pandya was magnificent in the end. It was important for all of us to stick to our basics, create some good habits, but credit to Afghanistan, they were fantastic" ## "From here on it is only upwards and onwards for them. Their seamers bowled really well, especially in the third session yesterday (day 1) and I'm sure they will go a long way against all opponents," India's stand in skipper Ajinkya Rahane said in post match presentation ceremony.## However, it wasn't a good outing for Afghanistan as result didn't go in their way. But they will be hoping that they will take this experience going further.## "First thanks to BCCI and Afghanistan Cricket Board to have given us this opporunity. We didn't play Test match before this and we've learnt a lot. In the future when we play a match, we now know how to play a match against a full member nation like India" ## "Yes we were surprised by how quickly things ended because we were a good team. But Test cricket is completely different ball game, we have a lot if time in we will work on our weakness. A huge thanks to the crowd as well, it felt like we were in Kabul," said Afghanistan's skipper Asghar Stanikzai.## For more updates and news, stay tuned to us.## Thanks for the reading.

Afghanistan's debut Test match could last long only two days as India beat them by an innings and 262 runs in the only Test at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore on Friday, June 15. It took only two sessions for India to dismiss Afghanistan's batting on 109 and 103 respectively after their bowler bounced back to restricted India on 474 runs in first innings.## This is the first instance when a Test match completed inside two days. Also, it was the only 4th time in Test cricket history and the first time against India when a team bowled out twice on the same day.## India had taken control from the day one after their openers scored centuries. KL Rahul also scored a half-century. However, Afghanistan bounced back in the third session of play and took 5 wickets as India ended the day with 347 for 6.## On the second day, Hardik Pandya carried India's innings with 71 off 94 balls before they bowled out on 474 on the stroke of lunch. Umesh Yadav scored a quick fire 26* off 21 balls and gave a valuable contribution in lower down the order. Yamin Ahmadzai was the pickup bowler for Afghanistan as he picked 3 wickets for 51 runs in 19 overs.## In reply of 474, Afghanistan 1st innings was crumbled by Ishant Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin as they could last only 27.5 overs to bowled out on 109. Ashwin took 4 wickets while Ishant grabbed 2 wickets.## With trailing by 365, India gave follow-on to Afghanistan. However, their story wasn't different from the first innings. This time they took 38.4 overs before bowling out to 103. Led by Umesh Yadav's 3 for 26, Ravindra Jadeja 4 for 17 wrapped up things quickly.## Umesh Yadav ripped through Afghan's top order before Jadeja came to kill their lower order. Only Mohammad Nabi 24 in the first innings and skipper Asghar Stanikzai 25 in second innings could show some resistance. But unfortunately for them, none of the other batsmen could last long.## Shikhar Dhawan received Man Of The Match for his brilliant 107 runs.## For more updates and news, stay tuned to us.## Thanks for the reading.

It was a historic moment for Afghanistan as they were playing their first ever test match but it was Indian openers who grabbed all the attention. Both Murli Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan scored a century. It was Dhawan who stole the show as he became first Indian batsman to score a hundred before Lunch on Day 1 in a Test.## Dhawan was aggressive from the ball one and took all the Afghanistan's bowler all around the park. But his battle against Afghanistan's premier bowler Rashid Khan was the highlight of the Day 1.## Dhawan hammered Rashid Khan for 8 fours and a six in his 107 and didn't allow Rashid to settle. Dhawan credited his success against Rashid to his IPL experience as both the players play for the Same franchise.## "The good thing is that I had faced him [Rashid Khan] in nets for two years because we play for the same team in IPL. So, I was used to his bowling and that helped me," said Dhawan at the end of the day.## After Dhawan's dismissal, Rashid came with a better final spell of 9-2-15-1. But Dhawan feel that every batsman has his own approach to be successful against him and don't think they changed their approach.## "See each one will have different game," he said. "A team is formed of different characters - I am a different character, my game is different to what Vijay's is. Each player has his own qualities. Some people like to step out and play and some others don't prefer that. Each individual has his own game and play accordingly. My strength is to step out and play and I play accordingly."## Apart from Vijay and Dhawan, KL Rahul also scored half century. It will be a happy headache for Indian think tank as all three openers scored runs and are in good form.## For more updates and news, stay tuned to us.## Thanks for the reading.
