Kranti Goud, Shree Charani must be given time as players, says Punam Raut
New Delhi, Aug 2 (PTI) Young players Kranti Goud and Shree Charani must be given time and the team management and selectors should also keep faith in their skills as they are the future of the Indian women's team, says Punam Raut. Both Goud and Charani made their mark on the recent tour of England in which the Indian Women's team clinched victories in the T20I and ODI series. India will be hosting the Women's ODI World Cup later this year. 'Youngsters like Kranti and Charani are the future, but they need time and faith," Raut told PTI Videos in an interview. 'This is just the beginning for them. The experience they have gained in England will count in the upcoming matches." Charani claimed 10 wickets in the T20I series which India won 3-2 while Goud claimed six wickets in the series-deciding third and final ODI to give her side a 2-1 triumph. Raut said the exposure provided to young Indian players by the Women's Premier League has also made its impact. 'The way WPL has been going on for 2–3 years, a lot of emerging cricketers are coming up. The exposure they have got from playing with foreign cricketers has really helped (and) that experience has added up. We saw the result of that," she said. Raut, however, called for both the players to be given time and a long rope. '(But) this is just the beginning. I want the captain and coaches to have faith in them," she said. 'They might not perform well in the upcoming matches. It can happen, especially with the World Cup coming up in different conditions. But you should believe in them and give them time to move forward." Raut also praised India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur for getting a match-winning century in the third ODI. 'It's a positive thing because she is the captain. And when the captain is in form, then he gets a different confidence. Such performances relax the captain and give her space to think and plan for the team," Raut said. Raut said India will have to maintain the momentum. 'When you play at an international level, the whole world watches you. Other teams are watching and preparing too. The upcoming competitions will be tougher. On the World Cup stage, everyone comes prepared," she said. While she aims to make her comeback, Raut also wants to become a coach. 'As long as I am fit, I will always want to come back for India. I'm really looking forward to this season," she said. 'I would like to go into coaching after cricket. I'm already working in that way. I try to share my experiences with youngsters — the challenges I've faced and how I've overcome them," she said.

CSK batting is sorted now because Ruturaj Gaikwad will be coming back: MS Dhoni
Chennai, Aug 2 (PTI) Legendary MS Dhoni said on Saturday the return of Ruturaj Gaikwad will bolster Chennai Super Kings' batting in the next edition of the IPL, after the top-order batter pulled out mid-way through the previous season with an elbow injury. Dhoni took over the CSK captaincy from Gaikwad but the five-time champions finished 10th on the table with just four wins from 14 matches, struggling to cobble together consistent batting efforts. 'We are slightly worried about our batting order. But I think our batting order is quite sorted out now. Rutu (Gaikwad) will be coming back. He got injured. But he will be coming back. So, we are quite sorted now," said Dhoni during a private function here, indicating that the Super Kings will retain the services of Gaikwad. While he was delighted for the return of Gaikwad to the CSK fold, Dhoni said the team will try to further strengthen the unit through the mini-auction later this year. 'I won't say we (CSK) slacked off (in IPL 2025). But there were certain holes that we needed to plug in. A small auction is coming in December. Some loopholes are there, and we will try to plug those in," he added. Gaikwad's last competitive outing remains CSK's match against Punjab Kings at Mullanpur on April 8. However, he has been named in the West Zone squad for the Duleep Trophy, beginning later this month. Dhoni admitted that the Super Kings have been well below-par over the last two seasons, but said it was important for the team to identify those grey areas. 'Yes, the last couple of years have not been good for us. We have not been up to the mark. But what is important is for you to see the learnings. Yes, you had a bad season. But what went wrong? And that was the question for us last year also. 'We were like, okay, there are some shortcomings. But first we needed to exactly figure out what were the shortcomings and then look at solutions," he noted. Dhoni profusely thanked the loyal CSK fans for their wholehearted support during the strife time, and promised to give a better account of themselves in the coming season. 'I feel more often than not we have been able to figure out what exactly went wrong. In sports, you know you can have a very good time and at the same time there will be periods when you won't be performing well. In CSK, more often than not, we are on the higher side. 'So, we do talk about the processes. But at the same time we do want the result to come to our side. Last year it (result) wasn't there. But looking ahead, we will try to sort out most of the things and we will hopefully be at our best," he detailed. The 44-year-old then underlined the strong relationship he has fostered over the years with Chennai and the IPL team based in the city. 'It's a very long relationship that we have had and it started much before the start of IPL… 2005 was the time when I made my Test debut which happened to be in Chennai. So, it started from that point of time. And yes, CSK helped in a big way because all of a sudden I'm spending 45-50 days here." 'So, I feel the relationship over the years has grown. It helped me improve as a person. It helped me improve as a cricketer. So, CSK just happened. I think it's good for Chennai. So, today it's good for me also. Nowadays when we go and say CSK, it's not a brand only in India, but when we go to Australia, South Africa, or any of the cricket playing nations," he noted.
