Sikandar Raza celebrates scoring a century for Zimbabwe during a one-day international against Bangladesh in Harare on August 5, 2022. Transformed Zimbabwe face their biggest challenge since Dave Houghton became coach two months ago when they host India in a series of three one-day internationals, starting on Thursday. Although several stars, including batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, are being rested ahead of the Asia Cup in the UAE this month, the tourists are expected to win all three matches in Harare. India are placed third behind leaders New Zealand and England in the ODI rankings, 10 places above Zimbabwe. Under the guidance of 64-year-old former batting star Houghton, the southern Africa nation have won nine of 11 ODI and Twenty20 internationals. With Houghton in charge, hosts Zimbabwe beat non-Test teams Jersey, Singapore, the United States, [https://site-7078073-7113-8720.mystrikingly.com/blog/hardik-pandya-s-better-half-natasa-stankovic-imparts-adorable-pictures-to-her site-7078073-7113-8720.mystrikingly.com] Papua New Guinea and the Netherlands to qualify for the 2022 T20 World Cup. Higher-ranked Bangladesh were expected to burst the bubble, but suffered shock 2-1 losses in both T20 and ODI series. Pakistan-born batsman Sikandar Raza, whose childhood dream to be a fighter pilot was dashed by an eyesight glitch, played a key role in the ODI series with successive centuries. "He is a very good player who has been representing Zimbabwe with distinction for a long time," said India vice-captain and opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan. "Sikandar is a quality cricketer with bat and ball. I am sure our bowlers will come up with nice plans against him." Houghton said the unbeaten innings of 135 and 117 by the 36-year-old had a knock-on effect as they instilled confidence in his teammates. "Playing alongside Sikandar, Innocent Kaia hit a century in his first ODI, then Regis Chakabva scored his first ODI ton with some brilliant shots." - 'Deserve wider recognition' - Former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop hailed the Raza tons, tweeting "The things that Sikandar Raza has been doing in recent weeks with the bat deserve wider recognition". Although missing Kohli and Sharma, Houghton says there is no such thing as a weak India cricket team. "They could pick four teams and then occupy the first four places in an international tournament. That is how good they are. "However, I told my boys that we dare not become mere spectators in this series while India play all the cricket. We must believe we can win. "The boys know they are far from invincible despite nine victories -- we were 90-9 in our last ODI against Bangladesh before the tail-enders added 61 runs. "But if we continue to play without fear and express ourselves, we will succeed far more than we fail." Houghton pinpointed poor batting starts as a concern, and vowed to "try and get higher scores from our top order". Opening batsman and wicketkeeper Chakabva skippers Zimbabwe in place of injured Craig Ervine on Thursday as the home team seek only a fifth ODI victory over India at home in 24 matches. Injuries have also ruled out Blessing Muzarabani (thigh), Tendai Chatara (collarbone) and Wellington Masakadza (shoulder) while former captain Sean Williams is unavailable. India had to make a late change to a 16-strong squad with all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed coming in for Washington Sundar, who was injured playing English county cricket. Opening batsman KL Rahul, a late inclusion after recovering from a hernia injury and testing positive for coronavirus, leads the tourists.

NEW DELHI, July 31 (Reuters) - Seamer Deepak Chahar and spinner Kuldeep Yadav recovered from injuries to feature in India's one-day squad for the three-match one-day international (ODI) series scheduled to take place in Zimbabwe this month. India rested several frontline players, including captain Rohit Sharma and batsman Virat Kohli for the matches which will be played in Harare on Aug. 18, 20 and 22. Opener Shikhar Dhawan will lead the 15-member squad which includes uncapped batsman Rahul Tripathi. Dhawan led India to a 3-0 ODI series win against West Indies on Wednesday. Chahar spent nearly six months on the sidelines during which he also missed the Indian Premier League. Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep has recovered from a wrist injury to return to the side but batsman KL Rahul, who underwent a sports hernia surgery and then tested positive for COVID-19, has been left out.

Apos;King apos; Kohli To apos;Baby AB apos;: Hits And Misses Of The 2022 IPL Season

Torrid time: Virat Kohli The high-octane Indian Premier League moves into the playoffs this week with four teams left to battle for the glitzy Twenty20 championship and the winners to be crowned in Sunday's final. Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals, Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore are all that remain standing from the 10 teams who embarked on a marathon season of 70 matches two months ago. Ahead of Tuesday's first playoff match when Gujarat Titans face Rajasthan Royals in Kolkata, AFP Sport highlights five players who grabbed the headlines this season in the world's most valuable cricket tournament: - Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore) - The superstar's batting slump has been a constant talking point during the season as Kohli suffered three uncharacteristic 'golden ducks' -- out on the first ball of his innings. But 'King' Kohli bounced back just in time for his team's final league game with a match-winning 73 off 54 balls that helped the team make the top four. Kohli, 33, has endured a torrid 12 months that saw him replaced as Indian captain, give up the Bangalore armband and fail to score a century in more than 100 matches in all formats. Now he and Bangalore stand just three wins from a maiden IPL title and play Lucknow in an eliminator on Wednesday. "I'm actually in the happiest phase of my life. I am not finding any self-worth or value in what I do in the field. I'm way past that phase. This is a phase of evolution for me," Kohli said. - Jos Buttler (Rajasthan Royals) - The England batsman has bossed this IPL with three centuries to help Rajasthan finish second in the table, awaiting table-toppers Gujarat in the first qualifier on Tuesday. Smiling assassin: Jos Buttler Buttler has been a smiling assassin, stroking 629 runs in 14 matches -- the most of any player -- while smashing 37 sixes at a strike-rate of 146.96. Buttler has received praise from his rivals with Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Shreyas Iyer hailing the skill of the Englishman after he scored 103 against his team last month. "The way he manoeuvres the ball, he is a classy batsman," said Shreyas. - Umran Malik (Sunrisers Hyderabad) - The young speedster took the IPL by storm and on Sunday earned his maiden India call-up for the Twenty20 series against South Africa. The 22-year-old Malik, from the Jammu region of Indian-administered Kashmir, bowled the fastest ball of the tournament at 156.9 kph (97.5 mph) and took 22 wickets in 14 matches. His thunderbolts won rave reviews from international cricketers, including Hyderabad's bowling coach Dale Steyn who said he was "blown away" by the youngster's pace. - Rashid Khan (Gujarat Titans) - Rashid was the key to his team starting with a bang as they remarkably topped the table in their debut season. The Afghanistan wizard not only bamboozled the batsman with his leg-spin bowling but also provided some explosive batting as he displayed his all-round talent. He scored a whirlwind unbeaten 31, [https://www.reddit.com/user/Apprehensive_War1571/comments/s178ae/zlatan_ibrahimovic_wife/ www.reddit.com] including two sixes from the last two balls, to pull off a stunning chase against Hyderabad. And his four wickets against Lucknow helped Gujarat become the first team to book a play-off spot. Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen said Rashid "delivers whenever the captain looks at him." - Dewald Brevis (Mumbai Indians) - The uncapped South African batsman made his presence felt with knocks to remember for wooden-spooners Mumbai Indians. The 19-year-old scored 161 runs in seven matches for five-time champions Mumbai who brought the U19 World Cup star for $389,610. He capped off the IPL with a crucial 37 off 33 balls in Mumbai's win over Delhi and credited South African great AB de Villiers for his success. "He is such a great human being... and he is really one of the best," said Brevis. "Having him as a mentor is special to me," added the youngster who has been nicknamed "Baby AB" for his ability to hit innovative big shots like his older compatriot.

Without Kohli India Bowled Out For 202 In 2nd Test

JOHANNESBURG (AP) - India was bowled out for 202 by South Africa on the opening day of the second test on Monday in a troublesome start for the tourists after they also lost captain Virat Kohli to injury before the game started. KL Rahul stood in as captain with Kohli ruled out by an upper back spasm, and top-scored with 50. But South Africa's quick bowlers had the better of the day at the Wanderers, with Marco Jansen taking 4-31 and Duanne Olivier and Kagiso Rabada three wickets each. South Africa was 35-1 at stumps and 167 runs behind. Aiden Markram was out lbw for 11 to Mohammed Shami, India's best bowler of the series so far. India leads the three-match series 1-0 after a 113-run win in the first test in Centurion last week. That boosted top-ranked India's hopes of finally cracking South Africa and securing a first test series win in the country on its eighth tour. But Kohli's absence and the dominance of the South African quick bowlers on the opening day in Johannesburg dented those chances. India's batsman Mayank Agarwal looks up as he leaves the field after being dismissed by South Africa's bowler Marco Jansen, during the first day of the 2nd Test Cricket match between South Africa and India at the Wanderers stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, Monday, Jan. 3, 2022. (AP Photo/Themba Hadebe) India slipped to 53-3 in the first session after an initial breakthrough by Jansen and then two wickets in two balls from Olivier, who was recalled for his first test since February 2019. Olivier had seemingly abandoned his international career to play for Yorkshire in English county cricket and said he framed his South Africa test cap as he doubted he'd ever use it again. With a new cap for his recall - so he didn't have to break into his framed memorabilia - Olivier made an immediate impact on his return to remove Cheteshwar Pujara for 3 and Ajinkya Rahane first ball. Hanuma Vihari, in the team in place of Kohli, fell to Rabada for 20 after lunch and thanks to a one-handed grab by Rassie van der Dussen at short leg. Rahul went just before tea to a lofted hook shot and a diving catch by Rabada at square leg to leave India five down. South Africa's pacers ran through the last five Indian wickets for 46 runs despite a counter of 46 from 50 balls by Ravichandran Ashwin. Before the game, India was emboldened by a strong record at the Wanderers, where it has never lost in five tests dating to 1992, and by its own impressive pace attack. Vihari in for Kohli was India's only team change. South Africa made two changes. Olivier was recalled and Kyle Verreynne was in as wicketkeeper for Quinton de Kock. De Kock was due to miss the rest of the series anyway for the birth of his first child but made a shock announcement at the end of the first test last week that he was retiring from test cricket at the age of 29. ___ More AP cricket: website and website India's captain Virat Kohli stands in the players pavilion during the first day of the 2nd Test Cricket match between South Africa and India at the Wanderers stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, Monday, Jan. 3, 2022.
