"Pretty electrifying": England's Bethell on opening with Virat for RCB
Birmingham [UK], May 30 (ANI): Young England all-rounder Jacob Bethell hailed Indian batting legend Virat Kohli, his teammate during his stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), saying that it was 'electrifying' to walk out to bat with him and to get information from him on and off the field. Bethell featured in two matches for RCB in their run towards final, scoring 67 runs in two innings at a strike rate of over 171, with a half-century. One of the matches against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) saw him score a quickfire 55 and share a 97-run stand with Virat. Bethell was speaking after his side's victory against the West Indies in the first ODI, in which he got the 'Player of the Match' award for a 53-ball 82 and one wicket. Speaking about batting with Virat, Bethell said, as quoted by ESPNCricinfo, 'I think he quite enjoys the overseas boys because we are just pretty chill around him. He has definitely got that feeling. And when he walks out to bat, it is pretty electrifying to walk out with him.' 'It (advice) was just like an accumulation over the couple of months of just chatting to him. You get information that keeps coming in ways that you do not really know, and it is kind of just drip-fed,' he added. 'It was just nice to speak to him off and on the field, away from cricket, so yeah, it was just cool to experience someone of his calibre and how he goes about doing things. He has got a certain intensity with him that just kind of... he flips that switch on, as soon as he crosses that line, which is pretty cool to see,' he concluded. Speaking about his experiences in the IPL, while lauding the practice facilities and quality of net bowlers, Bethell said about his evolution, 'I feel like I am a better player now than I was a couple of months ago.' In 10 ODIs for England, Bethell has scored 300 runs at an average of 37.50, with three fifties and the best score of 82. He also has picked six wickets in the format. Having made his all-format debut for England last year, he has scored 756 runs in 23 matches and 24 innings, at an average of 39.78, with eight fifties and the best score of 96. He has also picked up nine wickets at an average of 31.66, with best figures of 3/72. Coming to the match, WI won the toss and opted to field first. A 64-run opening stand between Jamie Smith (37 in 24 balls, with seven fours) and Ben Duckett and a 73-run stand between Duckett (60 in 48 balls, with six fours and a six) and Joe Root started off things well for England. Root (57 in 65 balls, with five fours), Brook (58 in 45 balls, with five fours and three sixes), Jos Buttler (37 in 32 balls, with three fours and a six), Bethell (82 in 53 balls, with eight fours and five sixes) and Will Jacks (39 in 24 balls, with five fours and a six) all chipped in to take England to 400/8 in 50 overs. A 98-run stand between Jacks and Bethell for the sixth wicket was the highlight. Jayden Seales (4/84) was the top bowler for WI. In the run-chase, WI was never really in contention and lost wickets regularly. Skipper Shai Hope (25 in 21 balls, with four boundaries) and Seales (29* in 14 balls, with two fours and three sixes) top scored as they were skittled out for 162 runs in 26.2 overs. Jamie Overton (3/22) and Saqib Mahmood (3/32) were the top bowlers for England. Adil Rashid also picked up two wickets. Bethell took home the 'Player of the Match' for his knock of 82 and one wicket.

West Indies Star Equals AB De Villiers' All-Time ODI Record, Slams Fastest...
Matthew Forde announced himself on the international stage in spectacular fashion on Friday, equalling the record for the fastest fifty in One-Day International (ODI) history during the second ODI between West Indies and Ireland in Dublin. Coming in at No. 8, the 23-year-old hammered a blistering half-century off just 16 balls, matching the iconic record set by AB de Villiers in 2015 against the very same West Indies side. Forde's whirlwind knock came at the perfect time for the visitors, who were looking to level the three-match series after a heavy defeat in the first ODI. He eventually fell for 58 off 19 balls in the 47th over, having struck two fours and eight towering sixes. Remarkably, 56 of his 58 runs came via boundaries, leaving the Irish bowlers stunned by the sheer brutality of his hitting. Thanks to Forde's late onslaught, the West Indies managed to post a commanding 352 for eight in their 50 overs—a massive turnaround from their batting collapse in the series opener. It was a continuation of Forde's promising form with the bat, having already made an impact with a gritty 38 in the first ODI, where he had helped stitch a crucial 98-run stand with Roston Chase after the team had slumped to 71 for six in pursuit of 304. Though Forde is primarily known for his right-arm medium pace, it was his fearless and free-flowing strokeplay that stole the headlines this time. In doing so, he joined an elite list of power-hitters who have lit up the format with record-fast fifties, rubbing shoulders with legends like Sanath Jayasuriya, Kusal Perera, Martin Guptill, and Liam Livingstone. Ireland have defeated WI in the first ODI by 124 runs to go 1-0 up in the series. Listen to the latest songs, only on
