<p>India produced a dominant display to hammer Zimbabwe by 71 runs in their final Super 12 clash in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 on Sunday (November 06). Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul slammed half-centuries apiece to power the Men in Blue to a strong total of 186 runs before the bowlers ran riot to script a thumping victory for India.</p>

<p>India's clash against Zimbabwe turned out to be a dead rubber after South Africa's shock defeat against Netherlands on Sunday. However, Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. ensured that they bagged a comprehensive victory to finish on top of the points table in Group 2 and book a meeting against England in the second semi-final.</p>

<p>India won the toss and opted to bat first at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from where they had kicked off their T20 World Cup campaign against Pakistan last month. They got off to a stuttering start as skipper Rohit was dismissed cheaply on 15 off 13 balls.</p>

<p>However, KL Rahul looked in splendid form and combined with Virat Kohli&nbsp;to post a 60-run stand for the second wicket. Rahul went on to smash 51 off 35 balls while Kohli made 26 off 25 before departing in quick succession. Rishabh Pant followed suit as he too was dismissed cheaply on three off 5 balls.</p>

<p>Then Suryakumar Yadav took over the stage and once again bailed India out of pressure and batted in his usual stupendous fashion to notch up an unbeaten 61 off just 25 balls. His knock was laced with six fours and four sixes as the right-hander looked in sublime form once again and the Zimbabwe bowlers bore the brunt of his bat's fury.</p>

<p>His brilliant knock powered India to a strong total of 186 runs as Suryakumar proved once again why he is one of the best T20 batters in the world at present.</p>

<p>In reply, Zimbabwe never looked in control in their run-chase as they lost their first wicket on the very first ball of their innings, kept losing wickets at regular intervals and&nbsp;got bundled out for a paltry 115. R Ashwin picked up a three wicket-haul while Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya picked up a couple of wickets apiece to ensure a comprehensive victory for the Indian team.</p>

<p>With the victory, India reclaimed the top spot on the points table in Group 2 with eight points from five matches. India will now face England in the semi-final on Thursday (November 10). India will now be aiming to beat England and go all the way to the final of the competition where they will meet the winner of the first semi-final between New Zealand and Pakistan.</p>

India defeated Zimbabwe by 71 runs in their fifth and final Super 12 clash in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 on Sunday (November 06) to reclaim the top spot in Group 2 and set up a semi-final meeting against England. Suryakumar Yadav and the bowlers shone for the Men in Blue as they secured a comprehensive victory at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Rahul and Suryakumar slammed half-centuries apiece to propel India to a strong total of 186 runs on the board before the bowlers stole the show with a brilliant effort. While Surykumar starred with the bat as he slammed an unbeaten 61 off just 25 balls laced with four sixes and six fours, Virat Kohli stole the thunder on the field. Kohli plucked a stunner on the very first ball of Zimbabwe's innings to send their opening batter Wesley Madhevere packing on a golden duck. Bhuvneshwar Kumar struck on the first ball of the first over as he bowled one outside off and Madhevere went for a drive.

<p>India's nail-biting 5-run win against Bangladesh all but confirmed their spot in the semi-finals of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 but Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. are far from safe in Group 1. They still need to win their fifth and final Super 12 encounter against Zimbabwe on Sunday (November 06) to confirm their berth in the knockout stages of the competition.</p>

<p>India are currently on top of the points table in Group 1 with six points from four matches so far. They will take on Zimbabwe at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday. India defeated Pakistan and Netherlands in their first two games before slipping up against South Africa. They bounced back to register their third win by beating Bangladesh earlier this week.</p>

<p>While the win has put them in touching distance of a spot in the semi-finals, they still need to avoid a defeat against Zimbabwe to be certain of qualification. If India lose against Zimbabwe, it will be a three-horse race in Group 1 with Pakistan back in contention for a spot in the semi-finals.</p>

<p>Pakistan, who are currently in the third spot in the points table with 4 points from four games are virtually out of contention but their chances depend on India and South Africa. Pakistan will play Bangladesh in their last game on Sunday while South Africa will face Netherlands.</p>

<p><strong>A look at all possible scenarios in Group 1 if India lose against Zimbabwe:</strong></p>

<p><strong>1) Pakistan win, South Africa lose</strong></p>

<p>If Pakistan manage to beat Bangladesh and South Africa lose against Netherlands, India will qualify for the semi-finals along with Babar Azam &amp; Co. as the Proteas only have five points from four games so far. A loss against Netherlands can shatter South Africa's hope of qualifying for the top four.</p>

<p><strong>2) Pakistan lose, South Africa win</strong></p>

<p>If South Africa beat Netherlands and Pakistan go down against Bangladesh, India will drop to the second spot in the group but will qualify for the semi-finals as they have a better net run rate of +0.730 as of now compared to Bangladesh's -1.276.</p>

<p><strong>3) South Africa and Pakistan win</strong></p>

<p>India will be in a spot of bother if they lose against Zimbabwe and both Pakistan and South Africa win their respective matches. Both South Africa (+1.441) and Pakistan (+1.117) have a better net run rate compared to India which will see India get knocked out of the competition in this scenario.</p>

<p><strong>4) India-Zimbabwe washed, Pakistan and South Africa win</strong></p>

<p>If India's game against Zimbabwe is washed out completely and both teams get a point each, India will qualify for the semi-finals even if both Pakistan and South Africa win their respective matches. A washout will take India to seven points, pacing them above Pakistan on the table as the Men in Green can reach a maximum of only six points.</p>

<p><strong>5) Pakistan-Bangladesh washed, South Africa win</strong></p>

<p>If Pakistan's game against Bangladesh is washed out completely and points are shared, India will comfortably qualify for the semi-finals as the second-placed team with six points.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>6) South Africa-Netherlands washed, Pakistan win</strong></p>

<p>If Pakistan manage to beat Bangladesh and rain plays spoilsport in South Africa's clash against Netherlands, India will get knocked out of the competition. A point from a tied game will see South Africa take the top spot with seven points while Pakistan will overtake India in the second spot with a better net run rate.</p>

Happy Birthday Virat Kohli: A look at five incredible records held by Indian superstar

<p>The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Roger Binny hit back at former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi after he recently claimed that the International Cricket Council (ICC) is biased towards India in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Afridi's comments came after India defeated Bangladesh in a thrilling rain-curtained game on Wednesday.</p>

<p>The match was reduced to a 16-overs-a-side contest after rain halted play during Bangladesh's 185-run chase. Bangladesh were in a strong position with no wickets lost when the play was interrupted but Indian bowlers fought back after the rain delay to pull off a thrilling 5-run victory for the Men in Blue.</p>

<p>Afridi made a controversial statement during a debate on Pakistan's Saama TV post the game as India's victory against Bangladesh all but confirmed Pakistan's exit from the tournament. The former Pakistan skipper accused the ICC of being biased towards India and said the international body wants Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. to reach the semi-finals at any cost.</p>

<p>"You saw the ground how wet it was. But ICC is inclined towards India. They want to ensure India reaches the semi-finals at any cost. The umpires were also the same who officiated India vs Pakistan &amp; will get the best umpire awards,"&nbsp;said Afridi.</p>

<p>"Given the amount of rain that happened, the game resumed immediately after the break. It is very evident that many things were involved, the ICC, India playing (the game), the pressure that comes with it, there are many factors involved. But Litton’s batting was amazing. He played positive cricket. After six overs, we felt that if Bangladesh didn’t lose wickets for another 2-3 overs, they would have won the match. Overall, the fight shown by Bangladesh was brilliant," he added.</p>

<p>Afridi's comments didn't go down well with BCCI president Binny, who hit back at the former Pakistan cricketer and said BCCI gets nothing different compared to other teams when playing a global tournament. He insisted India is a powerhouse in cricket but made it clear there is no favouritism from ICC.</p>

<p>"Not fair. I don't think we're favoured by ICC. Everyone gets same treatment. No way in which you can say that. What do we get different from other teams? India is a big powerhouse in cricket but we're all treated the same,"&nbsp;Binny told ANI.</p>

He believes when no one else does: Karthik, Yuvraj and others wish Virat Kohli on 34th birthday

<p>Team India locked horns with Bangladesh in a crucial Super 12 clash in the T20 World Cup 2022 edition on Wednesday (November 02). In a rain-marred close encounter, Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. emerged on top by five runs (DLS method) as the Bangla Tigers put up a spirited fight. Being asked to bat first, in Adelaide, Rohit-led India posted 184 for 6 riding on half-centuries from KL Rahul (50) and Virat Kohli (64 not out). In reply, Litton Das started off with a bang and took his side to 66 for no loss in seven overs before a brief rain break led to a revised target; with Bangladesh needing 151 in 16 overs (i.e. 85 off the last 54 balls).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite having the momentum before the rain break, and the wet outfield being a disadvantage for India, Bangladesh eventually managed only 145 for 6 to lose by five runs. The match went down to the wire and made heads turn for plenty of reasons. There was an accusation by Bangladesḥ, where they claimed Kohli pulled off a fake fielding act whereas some eyebrows were raised as to why the game resumed despite wet outfield. In this regard, former Pakistan captain and all-rounder Shahid Afridi made a bizarre remark.</p>

<p>"You saw the ground how wet it was. But ICC is inclined towards India. They want to ensure India reaches the semi-finals at any cost. The umpires were also the same who officiated India vs Pakistan &amp; will get the best umpire awards," said Afridi to SAMAA TV.</p>

<p>It is to be noted that wet outfield is advantage to the batting side. Hence, even when play resumed, India had their back against the wall and could've lost had their bowlers and fielders not stepped up in the final nine overs. Moreover, similar attempts were made by umpires to finish the match when rain made its presence felt during Zimbabwe-South Africa and Pakistan-SA clash.</p>

<p>Following India's win over Bangladesh, they are well-placed in Group B to qualify for the semi-finals. With a win over Zimbabwe, they will not only make it to the semis but also top their group.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India and Bangladesh were involved in a close battle in a crucial Super 12 clash in the T20 World Cup at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide on Wednesday (November 02).&nbsp; Being asked to bat first, Rohit Sharma-led India posted 184 for 6 thanks to KL Rahul's 50 and Virat Kohli's unbeaten 66. In reply, Bangladesh opener Litton Das hammered the Indian bowlers to all parts of the ground and took his side to 66 for no loss in seven overs before a rain break.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After play resumed, the revised target was 151 in 16 overs with the Bangla Tigers still ahead courtesy of Litton's presence. Nonetheless, he was sent back by a bullet throw from Rahul, from deep mid-wicket, in the 8th over as the momentum shifted in India's favour.&nbsp;</p>

After play resumed, the revised target was 151 in 16 overs with the Bangla Tigers still ahead courtesy of Litton's presence. Nonetheless, he was sent back by a bullet throw from Rahul, from deep mid-wicket, in the 8th over as the momentum shifted in India's favour.

KL Rahul's splendid throw sends Litton Das back to the pavillion in IND-BAN T20 WC tie - Watch

<p>On Wednesday (November 02), India beat Bangladesh in a crucial Super 12 clash in the T20 World Cup 2022 edition. The two Asian teams locked horns at the iconic Adelaide Oval, Adelaide where Shakib Al Hasan-led Bangla Tigers asked India to bat first.</p>

<p>After losing Rohit Sharma cheaply, KL Rahul's 50 and Virat Kohli's unbeaten 44-ball 64, laced with 8 fours and a six, took India to 184 for 6 in 20 overs. Bangladesh were off to a flier and were 66 for no loss after seven overs before rain halted play. When the match resumed, the revised target for Bangladesh was 151 in 16 overs with a well-set Litton Das. Litton was run out for a magnificent 27-ball 60, courtesy of Rahul's rapid throw from the deep, as India clawed their way back into the contest and won by five runs (DLS method).</p>

<p>While Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya were among wickets, Shami also played his part with the ball, the Indian fielders rose to the occasion post the rain break. Nonetheless, it was well setup by Kohli and he walked away with the Player-of-the-Match award.</p>

<p>At the post-match presentation, Rohit lauded Kohli and spoke at length regarding his solid form. He said, "In my opinion he was always there, it was a matter of few innings here and there, he got it in the Asia Cup. We never had any doubts and the way he has been batting in this World Cup has been tremendous and he is really doing it for us."</p>

<p>In the run-up to the T20 WC, Kohli was struggling for runs before he redeemed himself as the second-highest run-getter in the Asia Cup 2022 edition. Since then, he has looked at his fluent best and is looking in his elements in the ongoing T20 WC. He already has three half-centuries in four games and became the highest run-getter in the current edition during the Bangladesh tie.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Kohli told the broadcasters after bagging the POTM award (his second in the ongoing competition), "Pretty close game. Not as close as we would have liked it to be. A good day with the bat. When I went in there was a bit of pressure. I didn't want little mistakes to curb my instincts. I am in a happy place. I don't want to compare it with the past. As soon as I knew the WC is in Australia, I was grinning from ear to ear. Good cricketing shots will be the key here is what I know. Hitting through the line is what I do in every format. It is just an extension for me. I love playing at this ground. This makes me feel at home. When I come to Adelaide, I am meant to enjoy myself and keep batting."</p>

<p>Courtesy of his 64, Kohli also surpassed Mahela Jayawardene (1,016) to become the highest run-getter in the T20 WC history. His tally now stands at 1,065 following his blitz versus the Bangla Tigers.</p>

We never had any doubts: Rohit Sharma on Virat Kohli's batting heroics in T20 WC after India beat Bangladesh

<p>India and Bangladesh squared off in a rain-affected T20 World Cup 2022 encounter at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. In what was a crucial Super 12 clash, Team India beat a spirited Bangla Tigers by five runs (DLS method) to win their third game of the mega event in Australia and top their group, with one more game to play. Despite Rohit Sharma &amp; Co.'s third win of the showpiece event Down Under, the one-time winners have still not qualified for the semi-finals.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The race for the semi-finals continues to remain intense and it is getting a bit more complicated in both the groups. Talking about the qualification scenario in Group 2, India sit at the top spot after their win over Bangladesh, with six points under their belt. South Africa and Bangladesh follow suit with Pakistan and Netherlands occupying the bottom-two spots, respectively. <strong>Here's the qualification scenario for all the teams still alive in the race for the semis from Group 2:</strong></p>

<p>With Netherlands and Zimbabwe out of contention, let us dwell upon the chances of India, South Africa, Bangladesh and Pakistan.</p>

<p><strong>Bangladesh:</strong> The Bangla Tigers have one game left. They play Pakistan in their remaining league stage encounter&nbsp;at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. If they win by an improbable margin, they can even challenge India, in terms of NRR, in the top two. South Africa's NRR at present is +2.772 which is certainly out of reach for Shakib Al Hasan &amp; Co.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Pakistan: </strong>The Babar Azam-led Men in Green won against South Africa on Thursday (November 03) and will play Bangladesh in their last league stage face-off and have to beat their Asian neighbours. If Pakistan reach six points and India lose to Zimbabwe, they can even edge past their arch-rivals as their NRR is slightly better than India.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>South Africa:&nbsp;</strong>Temba Bavuma &amp; Co. are in a very good position; and were unbeaten in the tournament till losing to Pakistan. With two wins and one no-result, the Proteas have five points. Even if they lose one of their remaining two games, SA should go ahead but their final positioning can change.</p>

In what was a crucial Super 12 clash, Team India beat a spirited Bangla Tigers by five runs (DLS method) to win their third game of the mega event in Australia and top their group, with one more game to play. Despite Rohit Sharma & Co.'s third win of the showpiece event Down Under, the one-time winners have still not qualified for the semi-finals. The race for the semi-finals continues to remain intense and it is getting a bit more complicated in both the groups. Talking about the qualification scenario in Group 2, India sit at the top spot after their win over Bangladesh, with six points under their belt. South Africa and Bangladesh follow suit with Pakistan and Netherlands occupying the bottom-two spots, respectively. Here's the qualification scenario for all the teams still alive in the race for the semis from Group 2: ALSO READ | Reporter asks Shakib Al Hasan to reveal chat details with umpires in India tie, all-rounder reacts - WATCH With Netherlands and Zimbabwe out of contention, let us dwell upon the chances of India, South Africa, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Bangladesh: The Bangla Tigers have one game left. They play Pakistan in their remaining league stage encounter at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. If they win by an improbable margin, they can even challenge India, in terms of NRR, in the top two. South Africa's NRR at present is +2.772 which is certainly out of reach for Shakib Al Hasan & Co. Pakistan: The Babar Azam-led Men in Green won against South Africa on Thursday (November 03) and will play Bangladesh in their last league stage face-off and have to beat their Asian neighbours. If Pakistan reach six points and India lose to Zimbabwe, they can even edge past their arch-rivals as their NRR is slightly better than India. South Africa: Temba Bavuma & Co. are in a very good position; and were unbeaten in the tournament till losing to Pakistan. With two wins and one no-result, the Proteas have five points. Even if they lose one of their remaining two games, SA should go ahead but their final positioning can change. India: Rohit & Co. currently occupy the top spot in Group 2. The Men in Blue are also in a good position to reach the top four, however, they still need to win their last league stage encounter versus Zimbabwe. A win will confirm them a place in the knockouts.

T20 World Cup 2022: EXPLAINED! Qualification scenario for Group 2 teams after India beat Bangladesh

<p>Bangladesh put up a spirited fight versus India in a thrilling Super 12 clash in the&nbsp;T20 World Cup 2022, on Wednesday (November 02). Opting to bowl first, Bangladesh bowlers tried their best but rode on half-centuries from KL Rahul (50) and Virat Kohli (64 not out), India posted a competitive 184 for 6. In reply, Litton Das came out all guns blazing and his quickfire fifty took the Bangla Tigers to 66 for no loss in seven overs before rain interrupted proceedings and sucked the momentum out of Bangladesh's run-chase.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the break, there was a brief discussion between both the captains, Shakib Al Hasan and Rohit Sharma, and the on-field umpires. While the details of it aren't out, it had something to do about the revised target and playing conditions amid wet outfield. After the close contest, where Bangla Tigers fell short by five runs on DLS method, captain Shakib was asked to reveal details of the conversation by a reporter in the post-match press conference.</p>

<p>Team India's star batter Suryakumar Yadav has continued his purple patch in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 and has been piling on runs consistently. Known as India's Mr.360, Suryakumar displayed his incredible batting prowess as he slammed a brilliant 68 off 40 balls in India's last outing against South Africa in Perth.</p>

<p>Bailing the team out of trouble, Suryakumar went on to play one of the best T20I knocks of his career as he helped India recover from 49/5 to post a fighting total of 133 runs on the board. However, his efforts went in vain as the Men in Blue suffered their first defeat of the tournament after failing to defend the total.</p>

<p>Nonetheless, Suryakumar went on to become the first Indian batter to complete 900 runs in international cricket with his fabulous knock against the Proteas. He will be eyeing another massive feat when India take on Bangladesh in their next Super 12 clash on Thursday (November 02).</p>

T20 World Cup: Suryakumar Yadav on brink of achieving massive feat in T20Is as India take on Bangladesh

<p>During Pakistan's Netherlands face-off in the T20 World Cup 2022 edition, in Perth on October 30, former Indian opener-turned-commentator Gautam Gambhir made heads turn with his remark on Babar Azam. The Pakistan captain has been slammed left, right and centre following the Men in Green's dismal run so far in the competition.</p>

<p>When the one-time winners' playing XI didn't feature Fakhar Zaman, who is battling injury concerns in the run-up to the T20 WC, Babar was heavily criticised. Even when Fakhar was roped in for the clash versus the Dutch line-up, he batted at No. 3 whereas Pakistan continued to open with Babar and Md Rizwan, who have been criticised for their slow starts.</p>

<p>Thus, Gambhir slammed Babar and said during commentary of the Pakistan-Netherlands face-off, “In my opinion, first, you think about your team instead of yourself; if nothing goes according to your plan, you should have sent Fakhar Zaman up the batting order. This is called selfishness; as a captain, it is easy to be selfish."</p>

"<em>Tournament ke baad koshish karenge Babar ko bole ki unke baare mein bhi kuchh bole kyuki wo bhi toh ghar jayenge na.</em>&nbsp;(After the end of the T20 WC, we’ll try and tell Babar to say something about him (Gambhir). After all, he will head straight back home to India too),” Afridi said on Pakistani channel Samaa TV.</p>

<p>Afridi criticised Gambhir for his usage of words and further opined, "There is always criticism, but you need to be very careful with words. You should use words that should come as advice for the player, and you can make the people understand it as well. As far as Babar is concerned, he has given so many match-winning performances. The consistency with which he has scored, very few Pakistan batters have. He may not have risen to the expectations which is why he is facing some flak."</p>

Virat Kohli goes past Sachin Tendulkar to achieve elite feat after 64* in India-Bangladesh T20 WC clash

<p>Arshdeep Singh bowled exceptionally well and held his nerves in the final over to help India beat Bangladesh by 5 runs in a ran-affected thriller at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on Wednesday (November 02). It was a nail-biter between the two teams as the Indian bowlers staged an incredible comeback after a flying start from Bangladesh in their run-chase.</p>

<p>India rode on half-centuries from Virat Kohli and KL Rahul to post a strong total of 184 runs on the board after being asked to bat first. While many were expecting the Men in Blue to dominate with the ball after their superb effort with the bat, Litton Das decided to go after the Indian bowlers from the word go and turn the game in Bangladesh's favour.</p>

<p>The opening batter looked in sensational touch as he slammed a quickfire 60 off just 27 balls laced with seven fours and three sixes and got his team off to an amazing start. Courtesy of his hitting prowess, Bangladesh found themselves comfortably ahead of the DLS score when rain halted play during the seventh over.</p>

<p>Bangladesh were 66/0 after seven overs, 17 ahead of the DLS par score of 49. As the rain got heavier, India's chances appeared to be diminishing but the game eventually resumed after a short delay with the target getting revised to 151 off 16 overs.</p>

<p>India sensed an opportunity to make a comeback in the game and the bowlers didn't disappoint as Bangladesh kept losing wickets at regular intervals.&nbsp;Litton was run-out on 60 in the very first over post-resumption before Mohammed Shami struck to get rid of his opening partner Najmul Hossain Shanto on 21 after he started looking dangerous.</p>

<p>Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya then combined to get India back into the game with two wickets apiece. With 20 needed off the final over, Arshdeep managed to hold his nerves against Taskin Ahmed and Nurul Hussain to seal a thrilling 5-run victory for India.</p>

Arshdeep Singh bowled exceptionally well and held his nerves in the final over to help India beat Bangladesh by 5 runs in a ran-affected thriller at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on Wednesday (November 02).

Arshdeep Singh bowled exceptionally well and held his nerves in the final over to help India beat Bangladesh by 5 runs in a ran-affected thriller at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on Wednesday (November 02). It was a nail-biter between the two teams as the Indian bowlers staged an incredible comeback after a flying start from Bangladesh in their run-chase. India rode on half-centuries from Virat Kohli and KL Rahul to post a strong total of 184 runs on the board after being asked to bat first. While many were expecting the Men in Blue to dominate with the ball after their superb effort with the bat, Litton Das decided to go after the Indian bowlers from the word go and turn the game in Bangladesh's favour. The opening batter looked in sensational touch as he slammed a quickfire 60 off just 27 balls laced with seven fours and three sixes and got his team off to an amazing start. Courtesy of his hitting prowess, Bangladesh found themselves comfortably ahead of the DLS score when rain halted play during the seventh over. Bangladesh were 66/0 after seven overs, 17 ahead of the DLS par score of 49. As the rain got heavier, India's chances appeared to be diminishing but the game eventually resumed after a short delay with the target getting revised to 151 off 16 overs.

Litton was run-out on 60 in the very first over post-resumption before Mohammed Shami struck to get rid of his opening partner Najmul Hossain Shanto on 21 after he started looking dangerous. Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya then combined to get India back into the game with two wickets apiece. With 20 needed off the final over, Arshdeep managed to hold his nerves against Taskin Ahmed and Nurul Hussain to seal a thrilling 5-run victory for India.

T20 World Cup 2022: Kohli, Arshdeep help India beat Bangladesh by 5 runs in rain-affected thriller

<p>India have locked horns with Bangladesh in a crucial Super 12 clash in the T20 World Cup 2022 edition on Wednesday (November 02), at the picturesque Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. Being asked to bat first, Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue posted a competitive 184/6 riding on KL Rahul's 50 and Virat Kohli's unbeaten 44-ball 64.</p>

<p>After Rahul's fluent knock, the onus fell on Kohli who held one end and took the one-time winners to a score near the 200-run mark. However, a minor controversy broke during the 15th over of the Indian innings.&nbsp;In the final delivery of the 15th over, pacer Hasan Mahmud banged in a short ball it rose on to the right-hander. Kohli immediately gestured at the umpires for a no-ball. The on-field umpire Marais Erasmus gave it a no-ball but Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan wasn't impressed with Kohli's appeal.</p>

T20 WC: Shakib Al Hasan baffled as Virat Kohli asks for a no-ball from umpires, duo involved in brief chat

<p>KL Rahul will be under the spotlight when India lock horns with Bangladesh in their fourth Super 12 clash in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 on Wednesday. Rahul has not enjoyed the best of campaigns in the tournament so far and has struggled to score runs consistently.</p>

<p>The stylish right-hander has so far managed only 22 runs in India's first three matches and has looked far from his best. However, he will be hoping to spark a turnaround when India take on Bangladesh in the all-important game on Wednesday. A win will all but confirm India's spot in the semi-finals.</p>

<p>Sharing his two cents on Rahul's current lean patch, the legendary Sunil Gavaskar said the opening batter doesn't seem to believe in himself at present. The former India captain advised Rahul to play freely and go with the intent of bashing the bowlers which will help him gain some confidence.</p>

<p>"Every time I see Rahul not scoring runs, I get the impression, he does not actually know the kind of ability he has. He doesn't seem to believe in himself. He is a fabulous player and has loads of ability. He's got to start saying 'I'm gonna go and knock the stuffing out of the ball'. He's got to have that kind of attitude. I want him to swagger. It will make a whole difference," Gavaskar was quoted as saying by <em>India Today.</em></p>

<p>Senior India batter Virat Kohli spent some time with Rahul in the nets during India's practice session ahead of the Bangladesh clash on Tuesday and was seen sharing valuable advice with the opening batter. Kohli has been in terrific form in the T20 World Cup so far and has been scoring runs consistently.</p>

<p>Gavaskar believes it was a great gesture from Kohli to help Rahul out during his lean patch as there is no one better to guide him in the Indian team.</p>

<p>"He's (Kohli) the senior player, has bags of runs in every format, this has been his favourite ground, and he'll be able to tell him what to do. I think he was trying to say that the ball outside off stump could cause trouble to anybody early in the innings when you are not certain about your off stump," said Gavaskar.</p>

<p>India head coach Rahul Dravid said it was disappointing and not a comfortable situation for anyone to be in after a video of Virat Kohli's personal room from his hotel room got leaked on social media. Kohli took to Instagram on Monday to share a video filmed inside his room and lashed out at the breach of his privacy.</p>

<p>The incident happened during India's stay at their team hotel in Perth in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Sharing the video on his Instagram, Kohli said it made him feel 'paranoid' about his privacy and that he didn't appreciate such kind of fanaticism.</p>

<p>His post soon went viral, sparking outrage on social media as the cricket fraternity rallied behind the senior India batter. Crown Resorts, the hotel where the incident happened, released a statement confirming that they have laid off the staff involved and the video has also been taken down from their social media accounts.</p>

'Not very comfortable for anyone': India head coach Rahul Dravid on Virat Kohli hotel room incident

<p>Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan believes India are one of the favourites to win the T20 World Cup title this year and his team will look to stage an upset when they take on the Men in Blue in their next Super 12 clash on Wednesday (November 02). Both Bangladesh and India have enjoyed great form in the tournament so far with two wins each in their first three matches.</p>

<p>However, Shakib believes Bangladesh are not one of the major contenders to win the T20 World Cup title this year.&nbsp;The star all-rounder said they are far from favourites but will aim to beat India and cause an upset in Group 2.</p>

<p>Bangladesh were thrashed by South Africa in their opener but bounced back to win their next two games against Netherlands and Zimbabwe to remain in the fray for a spot in the semi-finals.</p>

<p>"Well, as I said earlier in one of the Bangla question, India is one of the favourites. They came here to win the World Cup. We are not favourite and we didn’t come here to win the World Cup. You can understand the situation. If we win against India, it will be called an upset and we will try to play our best cricket and try to make an upset," Shakib said in the pre-match press conference on Tuesday.</p>

We are not here to win the World Cup, will try to upset 'favourites' India: Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan

<p>Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has backed the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team to make it to the final of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022. India are currently at the second spot in Group 2 points table after two wins and a loss in their first three Super 12 clashes.</p>

<p>The Men in Blue kicked off the tournament in style with a thrilling win against arch-rivals Pakistan in their opener before beating Netherlands comprehensively in their next game. They slipped up against South Africa in their last outing to suffer their first defeat in the tournament.</p>

<p>However, despite the loss, Ganguly, who was recently replaced by Roger Binny as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), believes the team is playing well and can go all the way to the final.</p>

<p>"India only lost one match. India will qualify. Everyone is doing good. India will qualify, I hope. I am hopeful that India will play finals. Let them qualify, after that they will play last two games. That can be anyone's game," Ganguly was quoted as saying by India Today.</p>

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has backed the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team to make it to the final of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022. India are currently at the second spot in Group 2 points table after two wins and a loss in their first three Super 12 clashes.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has backed the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team to make it to the final of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022. India are currently at the second spot in Group 2 points table after two wins and a loss in their first three Super 12 clashes. The Men in Blue kicked off the tournament in style with a thrilling win against arch-rivals Pakistan in their opener before beating Netherlands comprehensively in their next game. They slipped up against South Africa in their last outing to suffer their first defeat in the tournament. However, despite the loss, Ganguly, who was recently replaced by Roger Binny as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), believes the team is playing well and can go all the way to the final. "India only lost one match. India will qualify. Everyone is doing good. India will qualify, I hope. I am hopeful that India will play finals. Let them qualify, after that they will play last two games. That can be anyone's game," Ganguly was quoted as saying by India Today.

Sourav Ganguly backs Rohit Sharma-led India to reach T20 World Cup 2022 final

<p>Team India will face Bangladesh in a crucial Super 12 clash in the T20 World Cup 2022 on Wednesday (November 02). After two successive wins, Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. lost a close game to South Africa at Perth Stadium, Perth on Sunday (October 30). While India's destiny remain in their own hands to reach the semi-finals, they will hope to beat the Bangla Tigers -- who also remain in contention to reach the final four -- and strengthen their chances of progressing ahead.</p>

<p>The last time India and Bangladesh squared off in the T20 WC was in the 2016 edition, held in India. Playing at the M Chinnaswammy Stadium, Bengaluru, the then MS Dhoni-led Men in Blue only managed a modest 146/7 after being asked to bat first. In reply, Bangla Tigers were cruising towards a win, with two needed off the last three balls, before they lost the plot to be restricted to 145/9; losing by a run courtesy of Dhoni's famous run-out.</p>

<p>So far, India and Bangladesh have faced each other thrice in the T20 WC. The one-time winners have won on all occasions. Will the script remain the same this time around as well?&nbsp;</p>

T20 WC 2022, India vs Bangladesh, live cricket streaming: When and where to watch crucial Super 12 tie?

<p>After India's loss to South Africa in their Super 12 clash in the T20 World Cup, in Australia, a huge controversy broke out. A&nbsp;housekeeping staff member at the Crown in Perth shared a video of Virat&nbsp;Kohli's room and shared it on social media. This led the former Indian captain fuming and has prompted reactions from many in the cricketing fraternity.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the run-up to India's face-off versus Bangladesh, at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide on Wednesday (November 02), former Indian opener Sunil Gavaskar also joined in and shared his take on the matter, criticising the staff's behaviour.</p>

<p>"Definitely yes. Today, with these phone cameras, there is a very thin line between your privacy and where you are in the public domain. Sometimes you are sitting in the car as well, going to a match or maybe not going to a match, and when a camera is inside and trying to take you. Is that an invasion of privacy? I don't know,"&nbsp;Gavaskar told India Today in an exclusive interview.</p>

<p>"But I think in your hotel room? Yes 100 percent, you need that privacy. Nobody should be doing what was done. I didn't see the video but I heard about it and I think it is simply not done," the Little Master&nbsp;added.</p>

<p>While resharing the video posted by the hotel staff, Kohli wrote on Instagram, "I understand that fans get very happy and excited seeing their favourite players and get excited to meet them and I’ve always appreciated that."</p>

<p>"But this video here is appalling and it’s made me feel very paranoid about my privacy. If I cannot have privacy in my own hotel room, then where can I really expect any personal space at all?? I’m NOT okay with this kind of fanaticism and absolute invasion of privacy. Please respect people’s privacy and not treat them as a commodity for entertainment," the 33-year-old&nbsp;added.</p>

<p>Following Kohli's revelation, the Crown Resorts, where the Indian team stayed in Perth, stated, "The safety and privacy of our guests is our number one priority, and we are incredibly disappointed this incident has occurred. We unreservedly apologise to the guest involved and will continue to take the necessary steps to ensure this remains an isolated incident."</p>

<p>"We have zero tolerance for this behaviour, and it falls well below the standards we set for our team members and contractors. Crown has taken immediate steps to rectify the issue. The individuals involved have been stood down and removed from the Crown account, and the original video was swiftly removed from the social media platform," it added.</p>

<p>"Crown is conducting an investigation with the third-party contractor and will take any further steps necessary to ensure an incident of this nature does not happen again.

'Nobody should be....': Sunil Gavaskar left disappointed by Virat Kohli hotel room incident in Perth

<p>To this, Sharma said, "Tournament k andar selection committee ko koi comment nahi karna chahie. (I should refrain from commenting&nbsp;on team selection during a tournament) That is the call of the captain, coach and team management. After the World Cup, when we sit and discuss, I will definitely comment on that. It will be wrong for me to say anything in the middle of the tournament. I'm with the team. I'm watching. We are performing brilliantly and we will win the World Cup."</p>

<p>Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they lock horns with the Shakib Al Hasan-led side at Adelaide Oval.

<p>Both teams are in contention to qualify for the semi-finals by finishing in the top two but their chances can be impacted by rain. So far weather has played spoilsport in a number of matches in the ongoing tournament, denying crucial victories to teams.

T20 World Cup, India vs Bangladesh weather report: Can rain impact Rohit Sharma & Co.'s semi-final chances?

<p>Dinesh Karthik suffered an injury while keeping wickets during India's low-scoring thriller versus South Africa in the Men's T20 World Cup 2022, on Sunday (October 30) in Perth. After two successive wins, Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue locked horns with Temba Bavuma's South Africa and managed only a modest 133 for 9, riding on Suryakumar Yadav's 40-ball 66.</p>

<p>In reply, the Proteas slipped and were reduced to 40 for 3 before fifties from Aiden Markram (52) and David Miller (59 not out) propelled them to a five-wicket win in the last over. During the run-chase, Karthik suffered&nbsp;a cramp on his back&nbsp;and left&nbsp;the field with&nbsp;Rishabh Pant donning the gloves in the final&nbsp;overs.</p>

<p>Ahead of India's next game, where they take on Bangladesh at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide on Wednesday (November 02), head coach Rahul Dravid spilled the beans on Karthik and gave an update. In the pre-match presser, the former Indian captain said, "He's pulled up pretty well today. Unfortunately, he had that spasm when he jumped to collect a bouncer and then he landed badly, in a way that he did his back in a little bit. But with treatment and some days, he's pulled up pretty well this morning. He's come to training and so, we will be assessing it."</p>

T20 WC: 'He's come to training...' - Dravid provides update on Dinesh Karthik's fitness ahead of IND-BAN tie

<p>Indian cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid played down concerns regarding opening batter KL Rahul's form in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 and said the team management can afford to give him time to get going in the tournament. Rahul has not enjoyed a great campaign in the tournament so far with only 22 runs in three matches.</p>

<p>However, head coach Dravid expressed full confidence in his abilities and said he has the backing of the team management. Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of India's next Super 12 clash against Bangladesh, Dravid said Rahul has been batting well in the nets and just needs to find his rhythm in the next couple of matches.</p>

<p>"No, not at all (his technique, and mindset bothering you?). He is a fantastic player, he has got a proven track record. He is batting superbly (at the nets). And these things can happen. In a T20 game, it's been tough. It's not been easy for top-order batters in this T20 World Cup. The ball has been doing a bit," said Dravid on Rahul's lean patch.</p>

<p>The Indian opener has looked far from his best in the tournament so far and is yet to notch up a score in double digits. He has flopped in India's all three games against Pakistan, Netherlands, and South Africa with questions also being raised over his strike rate.</p>

<p>Amid his poor form, fans on social media have backed Rishabh Pant to open with captain Rohit Sharma at the top and get some opportunities in the playing XI in Australia. However, Rahul is unlikely to be dropped as Dravid and the team management are firmly behind him, well aware that he has the quality to master conditions in Australia.</p>

<p>"I thought he was superb in the practice game against Australia, against the likes of Mitchell Starc and Patrick Cummins and it was a pretty good attack and he batted superbly on that day. He is actually playing really well, I just hope it all clicks together in the next couple of games. We all know his quality, we all know his ability. He is really suited to these kinds of conditions, these kinds of pitches. He has got a good all-round game, good backfoot game, which is very essential in these conditions. We are pretty happy with the way he is hitting it," said Dravid.</p>

<p>"In these conditions, we are able to afford him that time. We have no concerns about him, we completely back him. When he gets going, I know the impact this guy can make," he added.</p>

<p>Rahul will be looking to spark a turnaround with the bat when India take on Bangladesh in their 4th Super 12 match on Wednesday (November 02).

'We are able to afford him time': Rahul Dravid responds to criticism over KL Rahul's poor form in T20 WC

<p>The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced Team India's squads for their upcoming tours of Bangladesh and New Zealand on Monday (October 31). While the Indian team is currently focused on their campaign in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022, the selectors have already &nbsp;set sight on shaping the future of the squad.</p>

<p>India will take on New Zealand in three T20Is followed by as many ODIs with the series getting underway in less than a week after the T20 World Cup final in Melbourne on November 13. Post their tour of New Zealand, the Indian team will travel to Bangladesh for a three-match ODI series and two Tests.</p>

<p>With several senior players rested from the New Zealand tour, Hardik Pandya will lead Idia in T20Is and Shikhar Dhawan will be in charge of the team in T20Is. Several youngsters in the form of Umran Malik, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Kuldeep Sen among others have made the cut in India's squad for the New Zealand tour.</p>

<p>For Bangladesh ODIs as well, the squad consists of the likes of Rajat Patidar, Yash Dayal, and Rahul Tripathi among others who will be eager to prove their skills and talent to cement their spot in the Indian team. However, one notable exclusion from the squad is that of young Prithvi Shaw.</p>

<p>Shaw, who has already made his Test debut for India, is regarded as one of the most promising youngsters in the Indian cricket circuit at present and has been performing well consistently with the bat. He was expected to make the cut in the ODI team for both New Zealand and Bangladesh tours but was left out of the squads in all three formats.</p>

<p>The youngster took to Instagram on Tuesday to shared a cryptic post after his latest snub from Team India. "Hope you are watching everything Sai Baba," Shaw wrote in his Instagram story with a picture of lord Sai Baba.</p>

<p><img alt="Prithvi Shaw post" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9fb34484-2e7d-41fd-994d-7e8c152278b2" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Shaw%20post.png" /></p>

<p>Shaw, who made his Test debut for India in 2018, went on to impress in the five Tests he played for India with 339 runs in the longest format. An injury in Australia came at the wrong time for the youngster following which he was suspended for doping violation in 2020.</p>

<p>“We basically are looking at him, and we are in constant touch with him, he’s doing well. There is nothing wrong with him at all. The thing is we have to look at the set-up, we are trying to give chances to those who are performing and are already in the set-up. He will definitely get his chances very soon the way he is batting, even whenever we are there for matches we are talking to him," Sharma said in a press conference on Monday.</p>

'Hope you are watching...': Prithvi Shaw shares cryptic post after being snubbed from India's squad

<p>The legendary Sunil Gavaskar believes not playing smart cricket cost India their Super 12 clash against South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2022 on Sunday (October 30). India lost a low-scoring thriller against the Proteas by five wickets in Perth after failing to defend a total of 133 runs.</p>

<p>While India's batting line-up crumbled on a tricky wicket in Perth, their fielding also failed to impress with several missed opportunities during South Africa's run-chase. Virat Kohli dropped a sitter to hand Aiden Markram a reprieve before captain Rohit Sharma missed an easy run-out chance.</p>

<p>Despite getting off to a brilliant start with the ball, India failed to capitalise as Markram and David Miller slammed half-centuries apiece to take South Africa home. Gavaskar insisted fielding was not the major reason behind India's loss as he pointed out at the lack of smart cricket by the Men in Blue.</p>

<p>"I think, in cricket, you are going to have situations where catches are going to be dropped, run-out opportunities missed. What you really going to see is that we didn't score enough runs. On a pitch like this where there is going to be a little bit of a challenge for battes, I think you have got to play it smartly. I don't think we played smart enough cricket because if you had played smart cricket, we would have had a 150 on the board," Gavaskar was quoted as saying by India Today.</p>

<p>Gavaskar highlighted how the likes of Deepak Hooda and Dinesh Karthik could have played smartly and tried to settle down in the middle instead of trying to play a big shot early on. While Hooda was dismissed on a duck off just three balls, Karthik got dismissed on 6 off 15 balls trying to take on the bowler.</p>

<p>Their dismissal put extra pressure on Suryakumar Yadav, who was the lone saviour for India after Lungi Ngidi ran through the team's top order. Ngidi picked up a four-wicket haul to ensure the likes of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli among others were all sent back cheaply. Suryakumar played a fantastic knock of 68 runs to help India post a fighting total of 133 runs on the board.</p>

<p>"I have been stressing about playing an extra batter but Deepak Hooda tried to attack in his 3rd delivery when he had Suryakumar Yadav at the other end. He had to play smart cricket," said Gavaskar.</p>

<p>"Similarly, I think, Karthik getting out at that stage. I am not blaming them, I am saying generally saying that apart from Suryakumar Yadav, nobody played the kind of cricket with the experience that they had that would have helped us get those 15-20 runs more," he added.</p>

<p>However, the former India captain insisted there is no need for India to press the panic button yet in the T20 World Cup as they are comfortably placed to qualify for the semi-finals with 4 points after three matches. India have to play Bangladesh and Zimbabwe next and will hope to win both games to ensure they can have a smooth qualification.</p>

<p>"Yes, let's not press the panic button at all. We have 4 points and 2 matches to go. 2 matches against opponents we should be able to win. You should never taken any team lightly, Bangladesh have given us a run for the money in T20Is. So we have to be careful against them, even Zimbabwe, the way they have played in this World Cup, we have to be careful,"&nbsp; said Gavaskar.</p>

'Let's not press the panic button': Sunil Gavaskar after India's loss against South Africa in T20 World Cup

<p>Senior India batter Virat Kohli vented out his frustration on social media after his privacy was invaded in his hotel room in Australia. Kohli is currently in Australia with the rest of the Indian squad for the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022. The Indian superstar shared a video on social media on Monday (October 31), which appears to have been shot by a fan who somehow managed to get access to his personal room.</p>

<p>While it is not known if the person who filmed inside the Indian cricket star's room was a hotel staff or an outsider, the video certainly didn't go down well with Kohli. The 33-year-old called it an 'absolute invasion of privacy' and said he didn't appreciate such kind of fanaticism where his personal space is not respected.</p>

<p>"I understand that fans get very happy and excited seeing their favourite players and get excited to meet them and I’ve always appreciated that," Kohli wrote.</p>

<p>"But this video here is appalling and it’s made me feel very paranoid about my privacy. If I cannot have privacy in my own hotel room, then where can I really expect any personal space at all?? I’m NOT okay with this kind of fanaticism and absolute invasion of privacy. Please respect people’s privacy and not treat them as a commodity for entertainment," he added.</p>

Senior India batter Virat Kohli vented out his frustration on social media after his privacy was invaded in his hotel room in Australia. Kohli is currently in Australia with the rest of the Indian squad for the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022.

Senior India batter Virat Kohli vented out his frustration on social media after his privacy was invaded in his hotel room in Australia. Kohli is currently in Australia with the rest of the Indian squad for the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022. The Indian superstar shared a video on social media on Monday (October 31), which appears to have been shot by a fan who somehow managed to get access to his personal room. While it is not known if the person who filmed inside the Indian cricket star's room was a hotel staff or an outsider, the video certainly didn't go down well with Kohli. The 33-year-old called it an 'absolute invasion of privacy' and said he didn't appreciate such kind of fanaticism where his personal space is not respected. "I understand that fans get very happy and excited seeing their favourite players and get excited to meet them and I’ve always appreciated that," Kohli wrote. "But this video here is appalling and it’s made me feel very paranoid about my privacy. If I cannot have privacy in my own hotel room, then where can I really expect any personal space at all?? I’m NOT okay with this kind of fanaticism and absolute invasion of privacy. Please respect people’s privacy and not treat them as a commodity for entertainment," he added.
