Vidarbha became the sixth team to defend the Ranji title to be the talk of the town on Twitter.
Vidarbha defeated Saurashtra in the 2018-19 Ranji Trophy final by 78 runs on Thursday (February 7) and successfully defended the title. All players and the coach Chandrakant Pandit are on the same page that last year's victory was no fluke, by lifting the trophy once again. Here's what they had to say on their successful campaign:
Having suffered a severe beating at the hands of New Zealand in the first Twenty20 International, India will aim to pull up their socks in both batting and bowling departments when they face a resurgent Kiwi side in a do-or-die second T20I at the Eden Park in Auckland on Friday (February 8).
Courtesy Aditya Sarwate’s six-wicket haul, Vidarbha were crowned champions of the Ranji Trophy for the second season in a row, as Saurashtra were bowled out for 127 runs on the fifth day of the final at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur on Thursday.
Chasing 206, Saurashtra are reeling at 58 for 5, still needing an unlikely 148 runs for victory. Vidarbha were bowled out for 200 in their second innings, after which left-arm spinner Aditya Sarwate spun a web with three wickets. It included the prized scalp of Cheteshwar Pujara for a duck!
Pace spearhead Mitchell Starc was on Thursday ruled out of Australia's Twenty20 and one-day tour of India with a "substantial" muscle tear, joining fellow quick bowler Josh Hazlewood on the sidelines.
Cricket Australia said Troy Cooley will oversee the bowling group for Australia's upcoming one-day series against India and Pakistan, with discussions about the coaching structure for the World Cup and Ashes ongoing.
New Zealand opener Tim Seifert scored 84 off 43 balls as the hosts thumped India by 80 runs on Wednesday in the first Twenty20 international (T20I) to hand the visitors their biggest-ever loss in the shortest format of the game.
Pakistan's stand-in captain Shoaib Malik called on young batsmen in his country to learn from Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq on how to bat overseas.
The controversy surrounding Imam-ul-Haq's selection in ODIs when Inzamam-ul-Haq, the former Pakistan batsman - and his uncle - is the national selector, was incidentally put to rest in his very first match when the youngster smashed a hundred on debut against Sri Lanka.
Shadab Khan's all-round performance and Mohammad Amir's three-wicket haul helped Pakistan beat South Africa by 27 runs in the third and final T20I in Centurion for a consolation win.
Bangladesh have never managed to win a single One-Day International in New Zealand in ten attempts. They were walloped 3-0 the last time they were on New Zealand shores but Rahim is confident Bangladesh will be changing the record this time around.
Mitchell Starc is likely to miss the upcoming white-ball tour of India with an injury, according to reports in Australian media.
India suffered their biggest defeat (in terms of runs) in T20I cricket – by 80 runs - in the series opener at Wellington against New Zealand.
Having achieved a lifelong dream of playing Test cricket, the pacer is now looking to tick off a few more things on his bucket list - being a part of the World Cup and Ashes side.
The 206-run target looks a long way away for Saurashtra, bidding for their first ever Ranji Trophy title. The target slipped further away in a matter of five deliveries in the third session of the fourth day’s play in the Ranji Trophy final.
A dejected Indian captain Rohit Sharma made no fuss in admitting that India were outplayed in all three departments by a well-rounded New Zealand unit as the visitors went down by 80 runs in the opening game of the three-match Twenty20 International series at Westpac Stadium in Wellington.
It was a day to forget for the tourists who were bowled out for 139 chasing a tall score of 220 at Wellington.
A blistering 43-ball 84 from Tim Seifert, backed by some fiery cameos from the other batsmen helped New Zealand thump India by 80 runs in the first Twenty20 International match at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Wednesday (February 6) and gain a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Cricket Australia has stated that Steve Smith very much remains on track to play the 2019 ODI World Cup and his return to the national side will be "as soon as practical".
Catch all the action and live cricket score from the first T20I between India and New Zealand at Westpac Stadium on Wednesday.
Vidarbha are 55 for 2, leading Saurashtra by 60 runs with Ganesh Satish and Wasim Jaffer in the middle. Saurashtra's lower order fought back, the last wicket pair of Jaydev Unadkat and Chetan Sakariya adding 60 to keep Vidarbha's first-innings lead to just 5. The pitch is tough to bat on, and chasing in the fourth innings won't be an easy task.
India have played 110 T20Is and have won 69 and lost 37 to merit the best win-loss ratio in the history of the format. In terms of series (two or more matches), India have played 29, won 14, lost 8 and drawn 7. They not only comfortably have the best win-loss ratio but also the highest win+draw percentage amongst all major T20 teams.
