By that same logic, Pakistan should've done something Dinesh Karthik has fired a scathing response at England duo Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler for their comments on India's team selection in the T20 World Cup. During an interview, Morgan had said that India's decision to play Rishabh Pant over Dinesh Karthik was "interesting", while Buttler had added that it was "surprising" to see the latter on the bench. Karthik took umbrage with their remarks and hit back in a television interview. "By that same logic, Pakistan should've done something. They have so many options, but they didn't even play Asif Ali or Haider Ali. England themselves did the same thing by playing Dawid Malan over Tom Banton," Karthik said. Karthik, who has been a vocal critic of team selection decisions in the past, also took a dig at Morgan's captaincy style. "I think it's very easy to comment on other teams' selections when you're sitting pretty with your own squad. But Eoin Morgan knows that as a captain, you have to be brave enough to make tough decisions," Karthik said. The former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman also defended his own selection in the tournament, saying he was confident about his abilities. "I am not worried about my form or fitness. I know what I can do on the field and I'm excited to contribute to the team's success," Karthik said. Karthik's outburst is likely to set off a fresh debate about team selection and captaincy in international cricket, with many experts weighing in on the issue.#Jos_Buttler #Eoin_Morgan #T20_World_Cup #Rishabh_Pant #Dawid_Malan #Dinesh_Karthik #Asif_Ali #Haider_Ali #Tom_Banton
India v England: Feel The Thrill The stage is set for a thrilling encounter as India and England face off in the Men's T20 World Cup 2026. The two teams have had contrasting starts to their campaigns, with India winning three out of four matches while England has suffered two consecutive losses. For India, the focus will be on Rohit Sharma, who has been in scintillating form with the bat. The Indian captain has scored 123 runs in the tournament so far, including a match-winning half-century against Pakistan. His opening partner, KL Rahul, is also due for a big score after being dismissed cheaply in their last outing. England, on the other hand, will be relying heavily on their pace attack to restrict India's powerful batting lineup. Jofra Archer and Mark Wood have been England's most successful bowlers so far, with eight wickets apiece. However, they will need to be at their best to contain a potent Indian top-order that has already shown its muscle. The middle order for both teams is also looking strong, with India's Suryakumar Yadav and England's Dawid Malan being key players in this department. Both batsmen have been in excellent form, with Yadav scoring 94 runs at an average of 47 while Malan has accumulated 63 runs at an impressive strike rate of 143. The match will be played on a good batting surface, which could lead to a high-scoring encounter. India's spinners, led by Yuzvendra Chahal and Axar Patel, have been excellent so far, and they will look to exploit any weaknesses in the English batting lineup. England's Moeen Ali has been their most successful spinner, with five wickets in two matches. He will be crucial in provi...#Suryakumar_Yadav #Rohit_Sharma #Yuzvendra_Chahal #Axar_Patel #Jofra_Archer #Adil_Rashid #Dawid_Malan #KL_Rahul #Mark_Wood #Moeen_Ali #Chris_Woakes
England's Thrilling Win Over India in T20 World Cup Sam Curran's impressive all-round performance helped England secure a thrilling seven-wicket victory over India in the T20 World Cup at the MCG on Sunday. The left-arm seamer picked up three wickets and scored 23 runs off just 11 balls to steer his team home with an over to spare. Many of us play in India, we know these grounds well, Curran said after the match. We've played a lot of cricket there, so it was nice to come out on top. His impressive display, including a crucial wicket of Virat Kohli, helped restrict India to 170-5 in their 20 overs. Chasing down the target, England's openers Jonny Bairstow and Alex Hales set the tone with a 43-run partnership before Curran took over. He smashed six boundaries and a six to propel his team to victory, along with contributions from Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone. Curran's all-round display earned him praise from England captain Jos Buttler. Sam was fantastic tonight, he said. His bowling changed the game for us, and then he took the game away with that innings. He's a world-class player, and we're lucky to have him in our team. The win takes England to the top of Group 2, while India is now on the brink of elimination. The tournament continues with several crucial matches set to take place over the next few days.#Virat_Kohli #Sam_Curran #Alex_Hales #Jos_Buttler #T20_World_Cup #Jonny_Bairstow #Dawid_Malan #Liam_Livingstone #MCG
