India Tour of England 2025 

India tour of England 2025 that is going to happen in the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma It is the first time since the 2011 It is the new era of test cricket as Team India is beginning its latest chapter of test cricket with the leadership of Shubman Gill, as India gears up for a test match series against England starting from June 20. Ricky Pointing shared his thoughts as India is going to play test cricket without two of its most iconic players, he said, “It is very difficult to replace players like Kohli and Rohit. But any country that can do it is India, because of the young talent they have. The former Australian captain highlighted the strength of the indian team’s young talent, which has produced consistent results in recent years. Ricky Ponting said he has seen how talented Indian players are, especially in the IPL, and mentioned how players like Yashasvi Jaiswal have done well in international cricket quickly. He believes India has plenty of talent, but the real challenge will be dealing with the lack of experience in the team. While young players can replace skills, experience is harder to replace. Still, with some senior players like KL Rahul and Bumrah, and a young captain like Shubman Gill, Ponting feels India can manage this rebuilding phase better than most teams. Gill’s reaction on departure for the India Tour of England 2025. Shuman Gill stayed calm when questioned about the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma and said, ” Both Virat and Rohit are very most important players and they have secured many victories for us. It is very difficult to replace them, but our team has a good blend of young talent and experience. Gill said during the pre-departure press conference.

MI vs SRH IPL 2025: A Big Chance to Break the Mid-Table Deadlock

The IPL 2025 season is heating up, and Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are set to clash in a key match tomorrow. Both teams are stuck in the middle of the points table with 4 points from 6 games, and a win here could turn things around for either side. Big Runs, Big Expectations Both teams are coming into this match after scoring 200+ runs in their last games. SRH nearly broke the 300-run barrier earlier this season with a massive 286/6 – the highest of IPL 2025 so far. Their openers, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, have been in explosive form and even stitched together a record 171-run stand against Punjab Kings. Former SRH bowling coach Dale Steyn had predicted a 300+ score on April 17, and with the way both teams are batting, it might just happen tomorrow. Crucial Phase Begins This match marks the beginning of a vital phase in the tournament. MI and SRH will face each other twice in the next six days, and both also have games coming up against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). These next ten days could decide the fate of all three former champions. Player to Watch: Ishan Kishan A twist in the tale – Ishan Kishan, who played 7 seasons for MI, is now part of SRH. MI didn’t retain him and lost him in the auction to SRH, who paid INR 11.25 crore. He had a strong start but has struggled in recent games. Still, SRH coach Daniel Vettori believes in him and feels that he’s just been unlucky. MI Probable Playing XI: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Will Jacks/Corbin Bosch, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Karn Sharma/Vignesh Puthur SRH Probable Playing XI: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Mohammed Shami, Zeeshan Ansari, Eshan Malinga/Wiaan Mulder Match Focus Pitch: The match will be played on Pitch No. 6 at Wankhede, which has equal boundaries on both sides. Though known as a chasing ground, 5 of the last 9 matches here have been won by teams batting first. Powerplay Stats: SRH has the worst economy rate in powerplays this season, but MI’s opening combo hasn’t been much better, averaging just 22 runs. Match-ups to watch: Shami vs Rohit and Hardik (Shami has dismissed both multiple times) Bumrah and Chahar have done well against Abhishek Sharma in the past. Boult’s early overs could be crucial but he’s not had the best season so far. Can MI Stop the SRH Firepower? SRH’s style of batting – bold and fearless – has brought them big runs, but they’ve also lost games. Vettori defends his top batters saying they’re smart, not reckless. MI, on the other hand, need their bowlers like Bumrah and Boult to fire if they want to stop the SRH charge. With both teams tied on points, this match is a golden opportunity to move up the table and build momentum for the second half of the season.
