It's his personal favourite. 'KL Rahul's wicket was my favourite because I was kind of under the pressure. I was lucky that the ball swung very late and got somebody like KL Rahul,' he said, The reintroduction of the saliva rule has benefited bowlers.
'It has played a bit of a part because if you look at what the ball does with the saliva on it, even if it means that one out of the 120 balls tears in a little more, that means you get a wicket that's an extra dot ball,' he said. 'And if that happens at a crucial stage when the right batsman gets out, that means you slow down the run rate and you get the momentum back. So, it has a chain reaction kind of a thing. And it definitely helped the bowlers.'

Star KKR Batter Slams 95-Ball Hundred In Buchi Babu Trophy Match Vs Hyderabad
Last Updated: Ramandeep Singh of Kolkata Knight Riders scored a 95-ball 100 in the Buchi Babu Trophy for Punjab against Hyderabad. Star Kolkata Knight Riders batter Ramandeep Singh slammed the ball all around the park in a Buchi Babu Trophy match, while playing for Punjab against Hyderabad, to score a 95-ball 100 in the invitational tournament, where several Indian cricketers are plying their trade. The Buchi Babu Trophy, which doesn't have official first-class status, is being played in Tamil Nadu, where multiple teams from India are taking part. Punjab's first game was against Hyderabad, getting off to a rocky start as opener Jaskaranvir Singh was dismissed on the third delivery of the innings. Prabhsimran Singh (69) and Uday Pratap Saharan then built a 103-run partnership for the second wicket before the former was dismissed by Aniketh Reddy. After Punjab found themselves at 127/3, Uday and wicketkeeper Salil Arora added 41 runs for the fourth wicket before the latter was run out by Hima Teja. Uday and Ramandeep then built a 175-run partnership for the fifth wicket before the latter was dismissed by Ravi Teja as his knock ended at 111. Riding on his and Uday's century, Punjab posted 348/5. Ramandeep, who plays for KKR in the Indian Premier League, has a high score of 69* in five first-class matches. He has played 31 List A games, averaging 29 and has a T20 strike rate of 169.21 after 77 matches. Ramandeep was last seen in action during the IPL, where he scored 47 runs in seven matches at a dismal average of 9.4. Meanwhile, KKR are reportedly open to including either Angkrish Raghuvanshi or Ramandeep in a possible trade deal with the Rajasthan Royals for Indian wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

R Ashwin's Stunning Asia Cup Selection Call: Shreyas Iyer In, But No Place For...
Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has shared his opinion on the burning selection topic in the Indian team for the Asia Cup 2025. As the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) gears up to pick the squad for the continental event on Tuesday, Ashwin made some bold selection calls as he named his 15-member squad for the tournament. For Ashwin, there was no place for Test skipper Shubman Gill, whose case has been highly debated among fans and experts the last few days. But, Ashwin had no hesitation in picking Shreyas Iyer in the roster. At the top, Ashwin had no qualms in picking the duo of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson, while Shreyas Iyer came in at the No. 3 spot for the veteran off-spinner. Ashwin also feels Shreyas' inclusion wouldn't leave any spot for Shivam Dube in the squad. "Shreyas at 3. Surya and Tilak can float. Surya and Tilak can change between 4 and 5. If you are bringing Shreyas Iyer on the scheme of things, then Shivam Dube doesn't have a place. He doesn't have a place. He can be in a backup position. Which we can discuss. Because if Shreyas Iyer, Surya and Tilak, if they form your top 5, then it is 6 and 7. 6 and 7 is a block. Akshar Patel and Hardik Pandya. There is no debate in that," Ashwin said in a video on his YouTube channel, 'Ash Ki Baat'. Among wicket-keepers, the likes of KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel and Jitesh Sharma are competing for the spot of Sanju Samson's backup. Ashwin is strongly of the opinion that Jitesh will win that race. "We have sent Sanju up (in the order). So, we will have to discuss who is the backup keeper. There are many candidates for backup keeper. Last time, Dhruv Jhurel was there. KL Rahul is there. Rishabh Pant, I am not sure if he is recovered. "But on one hand, the real person that I think is going to walk into this Indian team is Jitesh Sharma. As per his IPL, and the way he batted, and he can play the role of a finisher. If Jitesh Sharma is your backup keeper, then Shivam Dube goes out of the window. "Shivam Dube cannot come. If Jitesh Sharma is going to be a part of it, Shivam Dubey is out, can't come in. "Because Jitesh Sharma will take care of finishing. Which means, Jitesh Sharma becomes your backup wicket-keeper. Which is your 15th slot," Ashwin added. In the spin bowling unit, Ashwin gave his vote of confidence to Kuldeep Yadav of Washington Sundar while Varun Chakravarthy is a certain pick in the team. "So, at number 8, it is between Washington Sundar and Kuldeep. You know my opinion. Kuldeep Yadav at 8. So, Washington Sundar goes to number 14. At number 9, Varun Chakravarthy. You must have seen in TNPL, the way he batted. He has worked a bit on batting.
