On March 3, both teams traveled by private charter from Chandigarh to Dharamsala. They were supposed to begin preparations for the IND vs ENG 5th Test on Monday, March 4, but the rain derailed their plans. However, the Indian captain and coach did not travel with the rest of the team and instead arrived at Dharamshala on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, the Ben Stokes-led side is scheduled to train in morning with India booked for the afternoon slot at the HPCA Stadium.

To talk about the IND vs ENG Test series, India have taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the 5-match series. After losing the first Test, India bounced back with three consecutive wins. The Indian youngsters have proved their mettle in the series, with experienced players playing their part as well.

He has been one of the biggest match-winners in Tests for India, at least at home, and picked up truckloads of wickets, apart from scoring a few crucial runs lower down the order. Prior to the start of the match, R Ashwin opened up his career, turning point, and the entire noise surrounding his 100th Test.

For starters, Ashwin clarified, that the 100th mattered more to his family than to himself. Talking at a press conference, he said, “The 100th Test matters a lot to me, but it matters more to my father, mother, wife, and even my kids. My kids are more excited about the Test. Families go through a lot during a player’s journey. My father still answers 40 calls on what his son did during a game,” quoted as saying by News18.

Turning Point in Career & Best Spell

While it is always difficult in a long career to pick up the best spells or the turning point in a career, it seemed as if Ashwin was quite clear on it. He named his 2018 effort in the Birmingham Test as his best, where he picked up seven wickets, but India went on to lose by 31 runs.

“It’s Test wins that stand tall. One of the finest spells I bowled was in Birmingham in 2018. I got 7 in the game.. I thought I had bowled India to win but that didn’t happen.”

As for the turning point, it was the 2012 series, that India lost 1-2, making him a better bowler. “That series vs England at home… where Cook and Pietersen scored runs, can well be the turning point for me. There were talks of me getting dropped, it was a wonderful lesson for me to improve say 5%. I knew what I had to correct. Since then it has addressing downs,” he added.

Root was specially criticised for his attempted reverse sweep that resulted in his wicket in the IND vs ENG 3rd Test. His dismissal resulted in a collapse that England could not recover from. Ultimately, the Ben Stokes led side lost by a whopping 434 runs.

Ahead of the fifth Test in Dharamshala, Root told Sky Sports, “I have high expectations of myself and until that last Test match I was way below where I want to be.

“I felt short of runs, I felt like I’d not contributed how I’d expect myself to and how I wanted to coming into the tour – it’s a part of the world I love batting in and I’ve had previous success here.

People will have their own opinions: Joe Root

Root then proceeded to say that he was not worried about the criticism he faced after his reverse-scoop dismissal in the IND vs ENG 3rd Test.

“People will have their own opinions on how I’ve got out through this series and what is best for me,” Root said.

“I will continue playing the way I think is best for any given situation. No-one knows my game as well as I do.

“The reason I’ve got to where I’ve got to is because I’ve always looked to keep trying to get better, improve and evolve. That’s got to keep happening. If you stand still in this game, with the amount of information and analysis out there, you’ll get found out.

“I’m not always going to get it right; I’m going to make the odd mistake,” Root said.

The post I will continue playing the way I think is best: Joe Root not too worried about facing flak for rash shots appeared first on Inside Sport India.

“It has been a terrific journey so far for me, having started my playing career in Mahabubnagar in 2000. Because of the injury, I stopped playing and started as a coach at the Gopi Academy (Gachibowli) from 2004,” Siyadutt told Sportstar.

Not many know, it was Siyadutt who mentored Kidambi Srikanth and Saina Nehwal, when they won their respective China Open titles. “Yes, I owe a lot to Gopi anna (brother). He is the reason for who I am today. And I enjoyed every minute, picking up so many things in the art of coaching from him. I am glad that I have played my bit in the success stories of some of the most famous names in Indian badminton in the last two decades,” Siyadutt added.

In fact, he was around when the Indian team won the Thomas Cup in 2022. But for now, his focus shifts to the USA, and he hopes to deliver the same kind of results. “I hope I will help the Oregon Academy produce champion shuttlers in the near future,” he signed off.

Lyon, who is currently regarded as one of the best spinners in the world, was a major contributor to Australia’s victory over New Zealand in the Wellington Test. The spinner amassed a 10-wicket haul as the Australians maintained their winning streak against their Trans-Tasman rivals n the game’s longest format.

Hartley, on his part, has been fantastic for England in the IND vs ENG series. In spite of England already losing the series with another match left, Hartley has provided a dominant performance. Hartley is currently leading the wicket-takers list for England with a total of 20 scalps. The left-arm spinner has also proved useful for England at lower in the order with the bat.

In an interview with the BBC, Hartley said he was impressed by Lyon’s performance on flat decks in Australia and stated that he wanted to try and emulate him.

“He’s someone I want to try to replicate. To be an international cricketer you have to able to perform in different conditions and Nathan is a guy that can really help me. I hope he’s going to be fantastic for me and be a real game-changer. The type of bowler he is something I’m trying to work on. The way he operates in Australia on pretty flat wickets, there are times when English wickets are pretty similar. He’s going to be great to learn off,” said Hartley.

After winning the toss and choosing to bat first on a BKC pitch that appeared green, Sai Kishore was criticized by Kulkarni for causing Tamil Nadu’s batting collapse, which resulted in them being bowled out for 146. Mumbai responded with a sizeable 232-run lead thanks to Shardul Thakur’s explosive century, which took them to 378. TN’s second-inning response was abysmal, as they were dismissed for 162, losing the match by an innings and 70 runs.

“We lost the match at nine o’clock on Day 1. We should have bowled but the captain had some different instincts. The moment I saw the wicket I exactly knew what we were going to get. Everything was set, we won the toss, as a coach, as a Mumbaikar, I know the conditions well. But I can only lead a horse to water, can’t make it drink,” Kulkarni had said.

Karthik, who played for Tamil Nadu, was offended by the remarks and used the five thumbs down emoji to show his disapproval on social media.

“This is so WRONG. This is so disappointing from the coach… instead of backing the captain who has brought the team to the semis after 7 years and thinking it’s a start for good things to happen, the coach has absolutely thrown his captain and team under the bus,” Karthik wrote on X.

16 teams qualified for the Finals, which starts today, March 5th, and runs until March 10th. Familiar names like Orangutan Gaming, Medal Esports, and Revenant Esports made the cut alongside surprising qualifiers like Dragon Esports and Windgod.

Disappointment struck for some fan favorites. Gods Reign, considered a top BGMI team, had a shockingly poor performance and were eliminated alongside OR Esports, led by Robin. This year’s champion will be crowned after 36 nail-biting matches in the Finals.

Focus will be both on England’s batting and bowling. In general both the departments have been subpar except the Hyderabad Test. India has overpowered the Three Lions across all departments. England are unlikely to make any radical changes in their Playing XI.

The opening pair of Ben Duckett and Zac Crawley have more or less faired decently. The duo have been the only batters to have brandished England’s aggressive Bazball style of play. With conditions similar to England, it can be expected that the duo will be ready to put up a big show.

At Number 3, comes England’s vice captain Ollie Robinson. He too has been decent enough for the visitors. With nothing to lose, England plans on putting up a big show, and will bank on Robinson’s explosive batting.

England were largely boosted by Joe Root returning to form with a century in the previous game. The Three Lions will dearly hope for their Fab 5 batter to consolidate their innings with yet another big score.
