1983 World Cup winning team have joined hands with Delhi Police to promote “teamwork and discipline” in India’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic

Members of the 1983 World Cup winning team have joined hands with Delhi Police to promote “teamwork and discipline” in India’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

The cricketers will be urging people to follow the government guidelines via Delhi Police, which will be promoting its initiative on Twitter with #1983 HeroesWithDelhiPolice.

“Nobody gave us a chance when we went to play our first match in 1983. But we made impossible possible,” Madan Lal, member of 83 WC winner team told PTI Bhasha.

“This battle against Corona pandemic is big and we must show the same discipline and team work. Everyone should perform to let the team India win the battle,” he added.

The man behind this initiative, Atul Kumar Thakur DCP (South Delhi), has said that there is a lot to learn from the 1983 squad.

“1983 WC was an event when the team overcame all the adversities and it was the single sporting event that united the sporting scene of the whole country. People said that it was very difficult for India to win the cup but defying all odds every member of the team chipped in,” Thakur told PTI .

“Be it Kapil Dev’s famous knock against Zimbabwe or Mohinder Amarnath’s performance in final or the no 11 batsman Balwinder Sandhu’s 22 runs partnership with Syed Kirmani at the crucial juncture. It was complete team effort,” he said.

“In the fight against Corona also we need same kind of team work where everyone from medical workers, police, government, citizens have to perform. One weaker link could cause a defeat in this battle,” he added.

Thakur said most of the members of the 1983 batch have agreed to join this initiative including Amarnath, Sandhu, Lal, Dilip Vengasarkar.

“Little master Sunil Gavaskar is likely to support while Kapil paaji and Kris Shrikant have sent us the video ,” said Thakur adding that they are also trying to rope in the 2011 World Cup-winning team for a similar initiative.

In his video message on Delhi Police’s Twitter handle, Vengsarkar said that battles are won with hardwork and commitment .

“As you all know that in 1983 WC final India was all out at 183 but the team fought hard and showed a lot of discipline and commitment. We won the trophy at the end. We are going through a bad time at present and we must show the same discipline,” he said

He urged people to follow lockdown rules and remain indoors.

Amarnath , Man of the Match against West Indies in the final, made a heartfelt appeal to the people of Delhi.

“Delhi Police is working hard and staying away from their families to keep us safe. We should follow the guidelines for the sake of our, our families and Delhi’s safety. It is the need of the hour to get rid of this pandemic,” he said.

New Zealand Should Have Been Joint World Cup Winners: Gautam Gambhir

Former India batsman Gautam Gambhir reckons New Zealand deserved the tag being ODI world champions and should have been declared joint winners alongside England last year. New Zealand finished fourth in the league stage and then beat favourites India in a semi-final that was stretched over two days due to inclement weather.

In a dramatic final at Lord’s in 2019, England beat New Zealand on boundary counts after the two sides ended on level terms despite a Super Over.

That finish triggered a raging debate over the logic of choosing winner based on boundary leading to a radical change. Now, there’s provision for multiple Super Overs till the time one side emerges clear winner.

It was the second straight occasion that New Zealand finished as runners-up after losing to Australia in the summit clash in 2015.

“There should have been joint World Cup winners last time around,” Gambhir told Star Sports’ Cricket Connected. “They (New Zealand) should have gotten that tag of being World Champions, but it was unfortunate.”

Gambhir praised the Kane Williamson-led outfit for the consistency in ODIs and felt that they have been competitive in every condition.

“If you see their overall record, they have been very consistent,” he said. “For the last one World Cup, and the World Cup before that, they were the runners-up and they have been very consistent. I think they have been very competitive in every condition they have played. We don’t give them enough credit.”

Currently, New Zealand are ranked third in ODIs behind India at second and world champion England at the top.

MS Dhoni Biography

India limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma reckons if MS Dhoni has been batting well then he should be part of the international setup again despite not playing any competitive cricket for almost a year now.

Speculations are raging over the future of the former India captain Dhoni’s future who has taken an indefinite break from cricket having last played in the semi-final of the ODI World Cup last year.

IPL was being projected as the platform from where he would make his claim for a comeback but with the season in danger of being cancelled, the suspension over Dhoni’s retirement continues.

During an Instagram chat session between Suresh Raina and Rohit, hoped Dhoni plays for India again.

“I played with him (during Chennai Super Kings training sessions) and he was playing well. Only he knows what’s going on in his mind. Best will be if he himself reveals his plans,” said Raina.

To which Rohit replied, “If he’s batting well, then he must play. I hope he does.”

The out-of-favour Raina is also hoping to get another chance to represent India and Rohit revealed that during team meetings, the discussion hovers around thinking a way to bringing him back in some way.

“I know it is very tough to be out of the team after playing for so many years. We used to always discuss about including Raina in the team in some way and utilise him. You have the experience – can bowl and field too. Team selection is not in our hands and a lot of things are considered so don’t know what the thinking is right now,” Rohit said.

Talking about his time away from cricket, Raina said he underwent a second operation to treat an injury. “I went for a second operation to treat an injury and it was a big decision for me. Selection isn’t in our hands, we can only perform. I have always enjoyed my cricket and the senior players have always backed our generation,” he said.

Rohit was left highly disappointed when he wasn’t included in the squad for the 2011 World Cup at home. Recalling that phase, India opener said he utilised that time away to rectify his mistakes.

“When I wasn’t part of the 2011 ODI World Cup, lot of things were going on my mind. So I decided to look back at my past performances, how I was getting out. It is heartbreaking when you are not in the team. So I improved myself,” he said.

Women’s Cricket : Pakistan’s Bismah Maroof Disappointed Over ICC’s Decision to Split Points

Pakistan's Bismah Maroof Disappointed Over ICC’s Decision to Split Points

As reported earlier, Pakistan and India are the teams that have to share points as the sides failed to play a bilateral series against each other. Which made the Indian women’s cricket team to qualify for the ODI World Cup 2021 by virtue of being the top four.

The Arch-rivals were not able to see each other and hence the series got delayed indefinitely. However, the decision has not settled in the minds of the Pakistani side.

The legal team of Pakistan Cricket Board is studying the verdict. The Pakistani women’s skipper Bismah Maroof pointed out that after a review and understanding of the decision, the legal team may consider going to ICC if it seems necessary.

In a video conference on Tuesday, Maroof was heard saying that the verdict was disappointing. She explained that the Pakistani group had been waiting a long time to play alongside India.

She reveals that the Pakistani Board was working on it but it failed to get any response from the Indian side. The video conference was arranged by PCB. It has to be noted that in light of numerous terrorist attacks and mischiefs on the border, the Indian government has thrown any idea of having a sporting relation with Pakistan off the table.

The tensions have put a brake on the bilateral series against the countries for an indefinite time period. As far as the women’s ODI championship is concerned, Indian and Pakistan were scheduled to face each other in the sixth round of the tournament.

Interestingly, the points from this round play a vital role for a side’s direct admission into the 2021 Women’s World cup. However, the Indian cricketing board, as expected, could not get the necessary clearances from the government. The nod from the establishment was mandatory for the board to host the rivals on Indian soil.

The three matches left off the roster and the ICC was called upon. The technical committee referred to it as a “force majeure event” and divided the points equally. It has to be noted that in a similar situation in the 2014-16 championship cycle, Pakistan was awarded complete points on the grounds of Indian inability to play the series.

With the three valuable points, India reached to 23 and joined SENA nations to get direct entry into the world cup.

Pakistan will, however, feature in the qualifiers scheduled in Sri Lanka. Maroof said that Indo-Pak matches are a joy for fans throughout the globe and Pakistan has always tried to keep politics off the table while facilitating sports.

She added that the result, irrespective of the winner, of series, would have been acceptable to her if the matches were actually played. She pointed out that this can be considered as a positive start for the Pakistani side as they don’t get these many matches and qualifiers would be a great practice for the big tournament.

She did not hesitate to point that India got the points without any competitive cricket and wished them luck. She also used the platform to laud the veteran Sana Mir who retired recently from international settings. Mahroof called her the ambassador of the game and recognized the vital role she has played in the growth of women’s cricket in not just Pakistan but throughout the globe

Team India captain Virat Kohli believes playing cricket behind closed doors is quite a “possible situation” amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. However, he has doubts whether the game would have the same magic when played in front of empty stands.

“It’s quite a possible situation, it might happen, I honestly don’t know how everyone is going to take that because we all are used to playing in front of so many passionate fans,”said Kohli while speaking on Star Sports ‘Cricket Connected’ show.

According to the Indian skipper, the game would be played with great intensity and players would put in their best efforts even while playing behind closed doors.

“I know it will be played at a very good intensity but that feeling of the crowd connecting with the players and the tension of the game where everyone goes through it in the stadium, those emotions are very difficult to recreate,” said the 31-year-old.

“Things will still go on, but I doubt that one will feel that magic happening inside because of the atmosphere that was created. We will play sports how it is supposed to be played, but those magical moments will be difficult to come by,” he added.

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic which has so far claimed more than 2.6 lakh lives across the world, a spate of series and tournaments, including the IPL 2020, have been postponed indefinitely.

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Australia all-rounder Marnus Labuschagne is the biggest find in cricket of the year 2019. Having come in as a concussion substitute for Steven Smith during the Ashes, 25-year old Labuschagne has since then cemented his spot in Australia’s Test and ODI team.

In 21 international appearances since August last year, the right-hand batsman has scored 1,764 runs at an average of 60.82 including five centuries and 10 half-centuries.

It is worth mentioning that Labuschagne made it to the Ashes squad last year on the back of his sensational form in Division Two County season for Glamorgan.

In 10 First-class matches, Labuschagne had scored 1,114 runs at an average of 65.52 and a strike rate of 76.19 including five centuries and five half-centuries and was the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament.

Labuschagne, who also bowls leg-spin, has dismissed 12 wickets in 14 Test matches. In the same county season, Labuschagne picked 19 wickets at an average of 38.10, an economy rate of 3.10 and a strike rate of 3.76.

Former Indian Captain MS Dhoni's Scared moment
Captain cool MS Dhoni revealed the moment when he feel bit scared

MS Dhoni might be celebrated for his calm demeanour in pressure situation on the cricket field but the former India captain does have moments where his heart rate is elevated and he feels scared.

These moments arise especially when Dhoni is in the very early stages, the two-time world cup winning captain said on Thursday.

“In India, I feel there is still a big issue of accepting that there is some weakness when it comes to the mental aspects, but we generally term it as mental illness,” Dhoni said during a session conducted by MFORE, a Non-Profit Initiative that offers mind conditioning programs to athletes.

He continued, “Nobody really says that, when I go to bat, the first 5 to 10 deliveries my heart rate is elevated, I feel the pressure, I feel a bit scared because that’s how everybody feels – how to cope with that? This is a small problem but a lot of times we hesitate to say it to a coach and that’s why the relationship between a player and coach is very important be it any sport.”

The initiative was launched by former India and Chennai Super Kings cricketer Subarmaniam Badrinath.

Current India captain Virat Kohli too stressed on the importance of a healthy mind as the key to better performance. “I think mental health and mental clarity is the most important factor in life; not just in sports. Badrinath and MFORE helping these cricketers will go a long way in them understanding themselves better and going out there and performing despite the conditions and situations being difficult for them,” he was quoted as saying in a media release.

MFORE also aims to conduct workshops for coaches, preparing them to understand the mental side of their players.

India offspinner Ravichandran Ashwin said it’s important for a sportsperson to talk about his mental struggles and seek help iof needed.

“Lot of people address skills, speak about the mental aspect of the game. But no one can really put a roadmap and say what really a cricketer needs mentally,” Ashwin said while lauding Badrinath for the initiative.

“How can you disconnect the mind when you’re playing? These are things that are crucial for any athlete. Your mind constantly cross-questions you and gives negative vibes from inside which is only natural. So, to be able to create a platform for such people to ask for help is an amazing initiative. I urge people to be more honest about themselves and understand that they need help. Understanding and asking for help by itself is very courageous,” he added.

Dhoni says a mental conditioning coach should be a regular fixture with a team/player and not just a temporary arrangement.

“Mental conditioning coach should not be the one who comes for 15 days, because when you come for 15 days you are only sharing the experience. If the mental conditioning coach is constantly with the player, he can understand what are the areas which are affecting his sport,” he said.

Almost a decade ago when former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden introduced the mongoose bat, it instantly became a sensation, as it was different from anything fans had seen before. During a conversation with CSK presenter Rupha Ramani, Hayden revealed how skipper MS Dhoni reacted to his bat.

The former Australian opener revealed that Dhoni did not want him to use the bat. “I’ll (Dhoni) give you anything you want in life, to not use this bat! Please do not use this bat,” Hayden said.

A confident Hayden, who had been practicing with that bat for a year and a half convinced Dhoni that the bat is better when it comes to striking the ball better.

“I’ve been using this bat for practice for about a year and a half and when it hits the middle of the bat it goes 20 metres further,” the left-handed batsman further said in the video.

He also confessed he did not want it to affect his form and the team as he had done his homework.

Considering it to be a bold decision to play with the mongoose bat, Hayden admitted having fun while batting with it.

“It was a courageous decision to use it and believed it was going to make my game better. On a couple of occasions, I used it, I loved it, it was fun,” the Aussie former opener added.

Former India captain MS Dhoni is a role model for millions of people around the world and also for an infinite number of sportspersons who idolize him and aim to follow a similar path in their careers. In a recent Instagram Live chat, Australia wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey expressed his admiration for the legendary Indian glovesman and spoke about how he’s keen to finish off games for Australia, akin to how Dhoni has done for Team India in the past.

During an interaction on the official Instagram handle of IPL franchise Delhi Capitals, Carey shed light on his adulation for Dhoni and reckoned that he’d love to pick up a couple of skills from the Chennai Super Kings captain.

“If you ask any cricketer, they would love to play like MS Dhoni. He’s probably the best at that role. I’d love to become half as good as him,” the 29-year-old Carey said.

Carey also spoke about emulating the former Indian captain’s finishing skill. “I’d love to have the calm to take it deep and finish off T20, ODI games for Australia and even in the BBL. It was pretty hard to play against him since he would never get out, but yes I’d love to become half as good as him.”

Carey has impressed for Australia in the shorter formats since making his ODI debut against England in January 2018. His impressive strike-rate in T20s also helped him bag the lucrative IPL contract with Delhi Capitals. Carey was snapped by Delhi for 2.4 Crore during the IPL 2020 player auction.

Cricket is not going to be the same in the post-COVID-19 world and playing in empty stadiums would be a ‘hollow feeling’ but Australia keeper Carey is ready to embrace the “new normal”.

Carey is open to the idea of playing in empty stadiums, which according to him could be a way forward.

“Cricket, as we’re used to, is going to be different for a bit. There’s the T20 World Cup and the IPL that we’re all looking to play, but it’s hard to picture anything without the fans. It’s going to be a hollow feeling,” said Carey during an Instagram live session with his IPL team.

Former New Zealand and Brisbane Heat captain Brendon McCullum has put forward an intriguing suggestion regarding the increased participation of New Zealand players in the forthcoming 10th season of the Big Bash League in Australia.

Speaking in an interview with SEN Radio, McCullum pondered the “great opportunity” lying with Big Bash if international cricket doesn’t resume to the best of its ability due to the novel COVID-19 pandemic.

“If there is a shortage of international cricket what an opportunity for the Big Bash, which if we are being honest has probably just tailed off a little bit of late, what a great opportunity to really morph that back into Australia sporting fans’ eyes,” McCullum was quoted as saying.

It is worth mentioning that McCullum himself played in six seasons of the BBL from 2011 to 2019. In 35 matches for Brisbane Heat, McCullum had scored 920 runs at an average of 27.88 and a strike rate of 136.50 including nine half-centuries.

McCullum, who is currently the head coach of Indian Premier League franchise Kolkata Knight Riders and Caribbean Premier League franchise Trinbago Knight Riders, went on to state that New Zealand could play as a separate team or the Kiwi players could play as locals in BBL 2020-21.
“And I think what a great opportunity to maybe bring a New Zealand team into the Big Bash or use New Zealand players as local players because there may be a distinct lack of overseas players.

“A little bit of creative thinking. It may be just for one season but we have to prepare for the long-term if you are going to grow the game there may be some value,” McCullum said.
