WI vs Ind, 2nd Test: With vintage Windies essence, Roston Chase slams ton

<p>This will be the first time when Hyderabad and Bangalore will come face to face at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018.</p>

<p>While Hyderabad is leading the table with 14 points, Bangalore is struggling to even make it for the play-off and hence are at the third place from the bottom with just six points.</p>

<p>Let us take a look at the players expected to perform in today's big clash:</p>

<p><strong>1. Rashid Khan -</strong> In his last match against Delhi, Rashid took two crucial wickets, which made him the 'Man of the Match'. He is also two wickets away from wearing the 'Purple Cap'. The Afghanistan tweaker is capable of breaking any standing partnership, making him the player to watch out for today. &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>2. Umesh Yadav -</strong> Considering his previous game against Chennai, Yadav dismissed Shane Watson and Suresh Raina to put Bangalore over the 'Yellow Brigade'. But eventually, they lost the match. He has been in good form from last few games and is expected to do the same and knock out Hyderabad batsmen. And, not to forget that one more wicket today and he will get the 'Purple Cap'.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>3. Alex Hales -</strong> Hyderabad picked Hales as their new replacement for David Warner for this season of IPL. He has played two matches so far scoring 90 runs. In his previous game against Delhi, he scored 31-ball-45 which included three fours and three sixes. Being picked up at his base price, the opener has a lot more to offer to his franchise.</p>

<p><strong>4. Parthiv Patel -</strong> Patel got his first chance in IPL 2018 in the previous game against Chennai and he smashed a brilliant half-century to prove his worth and calibre. His inning was a signal to Bangalore and warning to other franchises that he is capable of playing many such knocks. The Bangalore opener and wicket-keeper is definitely a player to watch out for today.</p>

<p><strong>5. Kane Williamson - </strong>The backbone of Hyderabad is one of the most successful skippers in the ongoing league so far. With his team being the table-toppers, he definitely fulfilled his duties as a captain. When required he has stood up for his team as a batsman too. In nine matches he has scored 354 runs which include four half-centuries. Even in his previous game, Hyderabad skipper remained unbeaten and ensured victory for his side. Also, he stands at number seven in the race for the 'Orange Cap'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Being at top of the table, it won't be unfair at all to say that Hyderabad has an upper hand in today's game. While Bangalore have to play a different game altogether to beat the current number one team.&nbsp;</p>

The third and the final Test match is scheduled to be held in Johannesburg and will start from January 24

Indian cricket team, who is on the tour of South Africa to play three test matches, six One Day Internationals and three T20 Internationals, have already lost the Test series by 2-0. Despite two consecutive loss to Proteas, few Indian players skipped a day of the training session for a small jaunt to the jungle safari in South Africa. Although their location is not certain, but as per media reports, they went to Mabula game reserve which is located just two-and-a-half hours' drive from Johannesburg. It is said to be one of South Africa’s finest private game reserves, which is owned by absconding Indian businessmen Vijay Mallya. He owns 99.5 per cent stake in the 25,000-acre game reserve, for which he paid $6 million. The Indian cricketers even shared images on social media with Lion and Cheetah from their excursion. Ravindra Jadeja posted a picture on Instagram quoting, "Sher ! Sher Hota hai, Chahe Sasan gir mein ya Jobourg mein..Pinjare Mein Sher ko bahut log pathar marte hain, Asli Mard Saamne Khadde Hote Hain." × Opener batsman KL Rahul, who was roped in place of Shikhar Dhawan for the second Test, also posted a picture with Cheetah quoting, "Just a Lion and a Cheetah chilling." × Seamer Umesh Yadav posted a video of giraffes from Pilanesberg National Park & Game Reserve and quoted, "Wildlife safari#pilanesberg#great fun." × Indian pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, too posted a picture and quoted, "Never become sad when life pulls you back, because lion also takes one step back when he wants to go for a long jump. " × Mohammed Shami also posted an image with a lion. × Not only the cricketers, their wives were also accompanying them. Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika, Umesh Yadav's wife Tanya Wadhwa and Shikhar Dhawan's wife Aesha Dhawan posed with the wild animals. × × × The first Test was in Cape Town where both the teams struggled to score but it was South Africa which outplayed India and got the early lead. The second Test was in Centurion and India again lost the match, though Indian skipper scored a massive century for the team in the first innings but rest of the batting order could not perform, at par. The third and the final Test match is scheduled to be held in Johannesburg and will start from January 24. Team India has already arrived there but before starting tough training session, the men in blue have found a way to cope up with the loss.

Despite Test loss, Indian players prefer to hang out with their wives than practice

<p>The selection committee of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has yet again ignored star spinners Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin, while announcing India&#39;s ODI squad for South Africa.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The selectors decided to persist with the young wrist-spinning duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal along with left-arm orthodox Axar Patel.</p>

<p>The two last featured in the limited-overs team during India&rsquo;s tour of the West Indies, soon after the June ICC Champions Trophy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, left paceman Umesh Yadav also did not find any place in the squad and is replaced by Mohammed Shami. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Shami last played an ODI against Australia in September 2017.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, KL Rahul, whose performance cannot be doubted if considered the ongoing T20I series against Sri Lanka, was also left out.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Middle-order batsman Kedar Jadhav and speedster Shardul Thakur have made a comeback into the Indian team.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Skipper Virat Kohli, who rested for the ODI and T20I series against Sri Lanka, will lead the side.</p>

<p>Ahead of the ODIs, India will start their tour with the three-Test series against the Proteas, starting January 5 in Capetown while the second (January 13-17) and third (January 24-28) Tests will be played in Centurion and Johannesburg, respectively.</p>

<p>The ODI series starts from February 1 in Durban, four days after the conclusion of the third Test. The second ODI will be played in Centurion on February 4, the third in Cape Town on February 7, while the fourth and fifth ODIs will be held on February 10 and 13 in Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth respectively.</p>

<p>The final ODI will be played in Centurion on February 16, followed by a three-match T20I series concluding on February 24.</p>

Indian pacers Hardik Pandya and Umesh Yadav shared five wickets in their opening spell to expose Kiwis' lower order batsmen before 20th over

Indian pacers led by debutante Hardik Pandya and Umesh Yadav snared five top-order New Zealand wickets between themselves to set up the game for their batsmen in the first one day international of the series. India, needing 191 to win the match, rode on Virat Kohli's 85 and a quickfire 33 from Ajinkya Rahane to chase down the total comfortably in the 32nd over.
