Both Pant, Karthik "In Play" For Selection Semis: Rohit Sharma

Both Pant, Karthik "In Play" For Selection Semis: Rohit SharmaBoth Pant, Karthik "In Play" For Selection Semis: Rohit Sharma

 At the Adelaide Oval on Thursday, Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, will play against England in the second semifinal of the 2017 T20 World Cup. With 8 points from 10 games, Team India won Group 2 and advanced to the semi-finals. All eyes will be on the lineup Rohit and company choose for the crucial encounter against the Three Lions. The team's captain, Rohit Sharma, spoke to the media prior to the game about the team's preparations and the possible lineups for the side.

In India's final Super 12 match against Zimbabwe, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was given an opportunity to play and replaced Dinesh Karthik in the squad.

"With the exception of the two games we played in Perth, Pant was the only player who did not get to play at all on this tour between DK and me during the last game. They were unofficial exhibition games, but he hasn't had a hit since then. We wanted to give him some time because he was missing game time and so that we could still make changes in the semifinals or championship game "explained Rohit at a press conference prior to the game.

"The idea was that it would be unjust to force a man into the game out of thin air. But once more, we've made it clear to the boys that regardless of whether it's a league game or a semifinal, everyone must be prepared. Given that we did not know which team we would face in the semifinals prior to the Zimbabwe game, it was also somewhat tactical. In order to provide the left-hander a chance to counter those spinners who bowl in the center, we made sure to do so. But once more, I am unable to predict what will occur tomorrow, only that both of those keepers will be available for selection "Added he.

In the current tournament, Suryakumar Yadav has distinguished himself as India's "MVP" after scoring three half-centuries at an incredible strike rate.

"Suryakumar's character most likely stems from this, and it's where his fearlessness comes from. He is the type of guy who is unburdened by baggage. Not his suitcases, for he has many. He enjoys shopping a lot (laughs). I don't believe he has the capacity to handle the added pressure, and you can see from the way he performs. He has been performing like a way for over a year now," Rohit stated.

Netanyahu’s Shocking Gaza Plan: ‘We Will Take Control of ALL of Gaza’ — But At What Cost?

  As Israeli forces intensify their offensive, Netanyahu vows total control of Gaza — but the humanitarian crisis is reaching a breaking point. Will the world stand by and watch? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will “take control of all” of the Gaza Strip, signaling an unprecedented escalation in the ongoing conflict. In a video posted to Telegram, Netanyahu emphasized that military operations are advancing rapidly, with no intention of backing down. “The fighting is intense, and we are making progress,” he said, framing the offensive as necessary for Israel’s long-term security.

Exposing How the Muslim Brotherhood Fuels Instability Behind a Political Facade

  The Muslim Brotherhood started in Egypt during 1928 since then it has portrayed itself as a combination of political organization and social movement working for Islamic values and governance. jinakata the Brotherhood displays an intricate web that connects extremist concepts and violent deeds which produce regional turmoil. The Ideological Foundations The Brotherhood bases its ideology upon the teachings of Hassan al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb. Extremist groups obtain their core beliefs from the writings specifically authored by Qutb.
