Virat Rested , Rohit to lead india in Asia cup

Rohit Sharma is all set for yet another stint as captain for India. He has been named the Skipper for the 16-member squad those who will be flying to UAE for Asia Cup which commences from 15 September. Virat Kohli has been rested for this tournament inciting his complaint about the busy Cricket without a break. He had left termors as he was seen uncomfortable in the 2nd test at Lords against England.
Who Has made the Cut?



Manish Pandey has struggled with form during the IPL but in the recently concluded quadrangular series, he led India-b to victory by smashing  316 runs in only 4 innings, averaging just under 80.
He has not been dismissed in the tournament at all. 
His scores in the tournament were:   73*,95*, 21*&117*


Ambati Rayudu who has made it to the Squad against England series, but later dropped due to the obstacle in the form of YO-YO test, has been Recalled Courtesy of his fine form in the recently concluded quadrangular series. Rayudu who has been dropped from Indian squad due to Injury has been recalled back. 
Kedar Jhadav who has injured himself during the opening game of IPL 2018, and henceforth missed all the cricketing action, has been invited back to the team. Although he failed miserably in the Quadrangular series, his experience has earned him the place.
Khallel Ahmed, the 20-year-old left-arm pacer from Rajasthan, who has earned his maiden India call-up for the team Courtesy his brilliant bowling in the Quadrangular series.

Who has been Dropped?


Suresh Raina who failed to impress the fans during the England ODI series has been Axed from the team yet again, raising eyebrows over his ODI career. The other ones who are going to miss out on the flight to Abu-Dhabi are Umesh Yadav & Siddarth Kaul.

Table Toppers SRH take on rejuvnated Daredevils

Come Saturday night, it's a battle between audacious stroke-makers and astute arm-rollers. When you think of Sunrisers Hyderabad, the first thing that strikes your mind is their bowling. Their mantra - Choke, squeeze, strangle. Repeat. If their defense of 132 was inspiring, their defense of 118 was jaw-dropping. They are one team that proves Twenty20 cricket is not just all about wham-bam action and beautifies the game with thrillers out of nothing. They have not even felt the absence of their main weapon Bhuvneshwar Kumar - the one who troubles batsmen with swing, cutters, yorkers, knuckles and more. In the last three games, Sandeep Sharma, Siddharth Kaul, and Basil Thampi have collective figures of 29.1-0-156-14. An economy rate of 5.36 despite operating in the toughest of times - powerplay and the death overs - speaks volumes of the depth in the team. Add to it a shrewd learner in Rashid Khan, who corrects mistakes quickly. Their batting though...

SUN"RISES" IN JAIPUR

For the third consecutive time, this season Orange army defends a par total. Thanks to their outstanding bowling performance. TOSS: Sunrisers opt to bat  Hales, Kane give them a good start After losing Shikhar Dhawan early for 6, skipper Kane and English swash-buckling opener Alex Hales steady their ship till the 14th over. There were a few drop catches which affected the Rajasthan as the game progressed. Kane scored an entertaining 63 from 43 balls before he fell to his countrymen Ish Sodhi.Prior to that Karnataka all-rounder, Gowtham dismissed Hales (45) who played an anchor role in their 91 run partnership with Kane. And then started the collapse in the middle order neither of them clicked and as a result, the Men in orange were restricted to 151/7 in their 20 overs. Jofra Archer picked up 3 vital wickets and wrecked the middle order of the orange army.  Bowlers do it yet again:  Chasing 152 on a slower wicket with mighty sunrisers bowling line up wa...
