IPL 2022: 3 Players on whom Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) might use Right To Match (RTM) card in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.



IPL 2022: The Sun Network owned SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) had the worst outing in the now-suspended Vivo IPL 2021. The orange outfit fought hard to win games but ended up being at the bottom of the points table. Due to lack of Indian quality options with them, the franchise had to do a lot of permutation and combination to find a perfect playing11.



Going forward to the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, SRH will have to do a lot of shopping. They will have to sort-out Indian names on whom they want to bid and acquire them. In this article, we will take a look at 3 Players on whom the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) might use their Right To Match (RTM) Card in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.

<h2>&nbsp;3 Players on whom Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) might use Right To Match (RTM) card:</h2>



<h3>T Natarajan:</h3>



T Natarajan came to the limelight in the delayed season of the Indian Premier League last year in UAE. He perfectly executed his yorkers and his exceptional bowling display soon rewarded him with his national Indian call-up. Despite having not much international experience, Natarajan has earned his name in world cricket.



Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will definitely want to invest more in the Indian pacer. In the IPL 2021, Natarajan got ruled out due to a knee injury. Last year, Natarajan scalped 16 wickets in 16 games.



<h3>Kane Williamson:</h3>



The Kiwi cricketer, Kane Williamson will be on SRH?s list of retentions. Williamson was named as the new skipper of SRH for the remainder of the Vivo IPL 2021 after consistent failure from David Warner. It will be interesting to see if SRH goes ahead with Williamson as the skipper or chooses another.



SRH have failed to keep up with the scoring rate in the middle overs and their middle order debacle has been their major concern. The availability of Kane Williamson will provide a much-needed cushion to SRH?s middle order. In the 4 games he played in Vivo IPL 2021, Williamson scored 128 runs and was consistent.



<h3>Jonny Bairstow:</h3>



The English explosive opener will also be on the retention list of SRH. The franchise will have enough reasons to retain the cricketer in the IPL 2022 Mega Auctions. He has provided the initial boost to SRH innings every time he came to bat.



In the IPL 2021, Bairstow piled up 248 runs in seven games at a strike rate of 141.75 and the best score of unbeaten 63. Apart from this, he averages in excess of 40 in the overall IPL stats which self-explanatory of his impact.

Opening pair/batsman of England for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 (Predicted).



ICC T20 World Cup 2021 Opening batsman of England: When it comes to T20I, the English side is one of the toughest teams in the world to beat. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will be happy to see its players consistently performing in the shortest format, especially when the T20 World Cup is approaching.



England has a well-set squad for the World Cup filled with quality players who can take away games at any moment.



Just like any other international side, England also possesses a couple of power hitters at the backend of their lineup however, the team entirely depends on the sweat timers of the ball.



The likes of Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan and Ben Stokes make it look so easy to take on the bowlers with their clinical hitting.



In this article, we will focus more on the openers for England to play the role in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021, which is all set to be staged in the UAE and Oman, starting October 17.



<h2>Opening pair/batsman of England for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 (Predicted):</h2>



<h3>Jason Roy and Jos Buttler:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/07/Jason-Roy-and-Jos-Buttler.jpg" alt="Jason Roy and Jos Buttler, England's T20I " class="wp-image-65630" /></figure>



The cricketing world needs no introduction to these two names. Jason Roy and Jos Buttler will be the most probable opening pair for England in the T20 World Cup.



Jason Roy has been sensational in the shortest format of cricket in the last couple of years. He has scored over 1,000 runs in the T20Is in 45 matches for England. He strikes the ball at 141, however, this number goes higher once he starts taking on the bowlers.



The cricketer has even smacked three consecutive half-centuries in the format.



Jos Buttler on the other hand has loved his time out alongside his partner Jason Roy. Buttler in one of his interviews credited his T20I form to Jason Roy.



?It?s great to open with Jason,? Buttler said. ?I get on really well with him, we?ve got a nice connection going on in the middle, he?s a great person to bat with,? said Jos Buttler.



Moreover, Buttler has scored 1791 runs in 72 T20I innings for his national side England. He has 13 half-centuries under his hat and plays with a strike rate of 140.25.

Furthermore, Buttler has been a notable feature of the IPL and understands the surfaces used in the UAE, which resembles a lot to Indian surfaces.



His IPL stints will help him manipulate the opposition and provide a quick start to his team.



<h2>Can Jonny Bairstow open with Jos Buttler?</h2>



Yes, Bairstow is another option in front of the English management to open. Jonny Bairstow also possesses experience of playing in the IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad and opens for them.



He can take up the driving seat alongside Jos Buttler to provide a brisk start to English innings.



Bairstow has featured in 48 T20I innings and amassed 1114 runs for England playing in various positions.



He was batted really well in the last T20I against Sri Lanka. He played a knock of 51 runs to help England clean sweep Sri Lanka in the T20I series.



Although these are the most probable opening choices, the English management could present a surprise element in Dawid Malan to open. A lot of these decisions will depend on the performances of the cricketers in the England vs Pakistan T20I sereis.

ENGvsIND: Predicting Top 5 run-scorer of the England vs India five matches test series.



ENGvsIND: The England vs India five-match test series started off on 4th August with both the teams locking horns at Trent Bridge. Rain played spoilsport on most of the occasions as the first test match ended in a draw with no ball being bowled in entire day 5. Although it was a shame that none of the team emerged as the winner due to timely showers, there were some players who showed bright signs in the first test match itself.



Despite the match being marred by the rain, some quality performances were seen from both ends. India managed to outperform England on maximum areas in the first test match, however, the English comeback in the second innings was worth noting.



The article will take you through the batters from India and England who will emerge as the top 5 run-scorers in the India vs England five matches test series. The predictions have been made after watching the performances of batsmen in the first test and previous records against England.



<h2>Predicting Top 5 run-scorer of the England vs India five matches test series:</h2>



<h3>#5. Jonny Bairstow:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/08/Jonny-Bairstow-in-Tests.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-66498" /><figcaption>Jonny Bairstow in Test Cricket</figcaption></figure>



The English dashing middle-order batsman, Jonny Bairstow, has shown some good signs in the two innings of the first test match against India. Even though Bairstow was unable to leave a strong dent with his batting in the opening test match, he showed he can be a dangerous weapon for England in the coming test matches.



Bairstow in the two innings managed to get an initial start but failed to take a good long ride of it. He amassed 29 in the first innings while 30 in the second, making a statement that he can be lethal in the upcoming matches.



He can very well help England in executing their plans when they need runs on the trot just like England did in the second innings. He played with a healthy strike rate and produced timely boundaries to put India under the back foot.



<h3>#4. Rohit Sharma:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/08/Rohit-Sharma-in-Tests.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma in home Test match against England in 2021" class="wp-image-66499" /><figcaption>Rohit Sharma in home Test match against England in 2021</figcaption></figure>



Indian senior opener, Rohit Sharma, once again got a good start to his innings but failed to capitalise on it. Sharma, in the first innings against England,&nbsp; got out in his regular fashion trying to pull a short ball and missed the length by bare margins.



The batsman has been in a good form over the past couple of months, however, his knack of getting out in the late 30s has been a serious concern for India.



The 34-years old cricketer managed to score 36 in the first innings while an unbeaten 12 on the second innings of first England vs India test. He will have to revisit his pull shot and make amends to it or will have to use it bravely in order to advance further from nervous 30s. He was dismissed in a similar discipline in the 3rd Sydney Test in 2020 against Australia.



The experts during the match praised Sharma for his good looking defence technique and still balance to play the ball as late as possible. With certain changes in his batting techniques, Rohit was successful in negotiating the initial overs against the daunting England pacers. Experts believe that the cricketer will emerge as one of the top run-scorers if he manages to bring up his weapons from the armoury wisely.

<h3>#3. Virat Kohli:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/08/Virat-Kohli-in-2018-England-test-1.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli in 2018 England test (1)" class="wp-image-66500" /><figcaption>Virat Kohli in 2018 England test series</figcaption></figure>



The Indian skipper once again became the talking topic for the netizens after he got a golden duck in the first test match against England. Virat was sent back by James Anderson in the very first ball which nipped away from Kohli and went straight in the hands of Jos Buttler after taking the fine edge of the bat.



Despite a poor show in the first innings, Virat has the calibre to bounce back and show his scintillating run of scores in the coming test matches. He has shown us over and over again why he is the best in the business and no one can keep him out from the runs.



The Indian skipper had a brilliant season in the 2018 England tour where he went on to make amends to his previous records in England. Kohli plundered a massive 593 runs in the five matches test series against England in 2018.

<h3>#2. KL Rahul:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/08/KL-Rahul-in-Test.jpg" alt="KL Rahul" class="wp-image-66503" /><figcaption>KL Rahul</figcaption></figure>



Kannur Lokesh Rahul was India?s best batsman in the first test match at Trent Bridge. Rahul made a strong comeback in the Indian white outfits as he plundered massive 84 runs in the first innings.&nbsp;



Despite featuring in test cricket after so long, Rahul came up with honed skills and outplayed English bowlers to register his 12th test half-century. He also made a valuable contribution of 26 runs from 38 balls in the second innings, when India needed quick runs in the last session of Day 4.



With more accurate shot selection and not tickling the deliveries outside off, Rahul has improved leaps and bounds in his test skills. He looked more composed and a complete cricketer when he appeared to open the Indian innings with Rohit Sharma.



Although he was not preferred as the first choice opener, however, with a couple of injury concerns to other players it was a blessing in disguise for him.



If he continues his brilliant form in the entire test series, he will surely emerge as one of the top run-scorers in the five matches series.



ENGvsIND: Predicting Top 5 run-scorer of the England vs India five matches test series



<h3>#1. Joe Root:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/08/Joe-Root-1.jpg" alt="Joe Root's superb century in the first test against India at Trent Bridge." class="wp-image-66502" /><figcaption> Joe Root's superb century in the first test against India at Trent Bridge. </figcaption></figure>



It is a no brainer that Joe Root will become the top run-scorer in India vs England test series. The cricketer has already shown his intent and character in the two innings of the first test where he pilled 64 and 109 runs.



Root was assessing the conditions brilliantly and executed shots to perfection, especially in the second innings. He played with a much better strike rate in the second innings to gain a good lead in the innings after trailing by almost 100 runs.



With added home support, Root is expected to emerge as the highest run-scorer and already has a fatty lead of 70 runs in the first match itself.

Josh Hazlewood to remain unavailable for the final Ashes Test 2022: Australia?s premier paceman Jos Hazlewood has been ruled out of the fifth and final Ashes test owing to his unfortunate side strain. The Aussie head coach Justin Langer confirmed the development and expected the pacer to make a comeback in the white ball series against New Zealand.



Josh Hazlewood was ruled out after Australia thumped England by nine wickets in the series opener in the Gaba. The speedster was hopeful to make his return in any of the last two test matches, however, he hasn?t posed himself completely fit which unfortunately ends Hazlewood?s stint at the Ashes 2021-22.



Josh?s injury would be a blessing in disguise for Scott Boland, who will retain his place in Australia?s playing11 in the final Ashes Test.



"Unfortunately Josh hasn't come up, hopefully, he'll be right for the white-ball games," Australian head coach Justin Langer said.&nbsp;



"It's been really tough on him, he has been really hanging out to play in this Ashes series like everyone. He has missed three games, so to have one of our premier fast bowlers out of the series, I guess it is a bit like England missing one of their premier fast bowlers (in Jofra Archer) - we've missed big Josh,? he added.

The final test of the ongoing Ashes is scheduled to be held in Bellerive Oval, Hobart, starting January 14.&nbsp;



Meanwhile, England has further damaged their chances to avoid the complete whitewash as two of their premier wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow have sustained blows. Despite suffering injury, Bairstow?s gritty innings fetched England?s first hundred in the ongoing Ashes.



The two stumper batsman haven?t assumed their wicketkeeping duties. Ollie Pope is keeping the wickets for the remainder of the Sydney Test.



Also, England has called in Sam Billings as the cover of two injured wicketkeepers for the final test. Billings was plying his trade for the Sydney Thunder in the ongoing Big Bash League.

England?s Jos Buttler ruled out of Ashes 2021-22 due to finger injury: England?s senior wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler has been ruled out of the final Ashes Test match owing to a fractured left index finger. The cricketer will return home and will be assessed with England Cricket Board (ECB?s) medical team.



Buttler sustained the finger blow while keeping the wickets in Australia?s first innings in the fourth Sydney Test Match. He was struggling to grip his bat while batting. In his absence, Ollie Pope assumed the wicketkeeping role.



"Buttler is going home after this game, it's quite a bad injury. Real disappointment and shame to not have him at Hobart. The way he stood up for the team shows his character," Joe Root said in the post-match presentation after England scripted a thrilling draw at the SCG.



The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has roped in Sam Billings as his replacement for the final Hobart test match. Billings was plying his trade for Sydney Thunder in the ongoing BBL 2021-22.

The Punjab Kings are of those 3 unfortunate teams in the IPL who've never been able to lift the prestigious trophy in the 14 seasons of the league that have been played so far. They've managed to take a handful of seasons by storm with their thunderous performances but have never been managed to cross the line on any of those occasions.&nbsp;



Their major problem has been a lack of consistency from the majority of players in the squad. The team often used to be over-dependent on one or two important players who used to carry the entire burden throughout the season. All of this used to result in nothing but disappointment for the Kings in most of the situations.&nbsp;



In spite of all the bitter failures that they've had to face in the past, the Punjab Kings will definitely be looking forward to making a mark in this season of the IPL with a fresh-looking squad filled with new vigour and energy. The mega auction provided the side with an opportunity to rebuild the squad in a totally different manner from that of the earlier seasons.&nbsp;



The team management made the most of this opportunity and drafted in a certain amount of world-class players in the squad. Thanks to their good executive of plans during the mega auction, they have an abundance of options to chose from and fill the various positions in their lineup. One of the most vital positions shall be the opening slots which will be the first topic of discussion to be taken up the team management.



Given below are three of the most possible opening pairs that the Punjab Kings might be using in the upcoming IPL season:-



<h2>1. Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/03/241808-dhawan-agarwal-pbks.png.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-86849" width="998" height="552" /><figcaption>Shikhar Dhawan Mayank Agarwal</figcaption></figure>



The first possible opening combination that the Punjab Kings will be going within this IPL season shall be of Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank Agrawal. Shikhar Dhawan who had been purchased at a price of 8.25 crores in the mega auction is definitely going to be e a player to watch out for this season.&nbsp;



Is fantastic performances while opening the batting in the past few seasons for his previous franchise, Delhi Capitals is one of the major proof of his red hot current form in the league. He has been the top run-scorer for his side in several past seasons, thereby hadn't shown signs of slowing down with age.&nbsp;



Mayank Agarwal on the other hand who was retained by the Kings ahead of the auction certainly is going to be a first-choice opener for the side, just like the previous few seasons. Thus the Dhawan-Agarwal duo is surely going to be a good opening pair option for the Kings to use this season.



Mayank Agarwal (IPL Stats):-



Matches ? 100, Runs ? 2131, Average ? 23.4, Strike Rate ? 135.5



Shikhar Dhawan (IPL Stats):-



Matches ? 192, Runs ? 5784, Average ? 34.8, Strike Rate ? 126.6



<h2>2. Mayank Agarwal and Jonny Bairstow</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/03/Bairstow-er_d.jpg-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-86850" /><figcaption>Jonny Bairstow</figcaption></figure>



Another possibility is that the team management will ask Jonny Bairstow to open the batting with Mayank Agarwal. The English wicket-keeper batsman has had several experiences of opening the batting in IPL earlier for Sunrisers Hyderabad.&nbsp;



His unique hard-hitting style shall be a big threat to the opposition bowlers during the early stages of the innings which might come handy to the Punjab Kings. The cautious and careful strokeplay of Mayank at one end is surely bound to ably assist a rampant Bairstow who shall take on the bowlers right from the powerplay thereby putting the pressure on the opposition without any ado.&nbsp;



The combination mentioned above is expected to provide suitable starts to the team without any undue risks towards the beginning. Hence Punjab may very well be adapting to this opening pair for this season of the IPL.



Jonny Bairstow (IPL Stats):-



Matches ? 28, Runs ? 1038, Average ? 41.5, Strike Rate ? 142.2



<h2>3. Shikhar Dhawan and Liam Livingstone</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/03/skysports-getty-liam-livingstone_5449620-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-86851" /><figcaption>Liam Livingstone</figcaption></figure>



A third probable opening pair shall be between Shikhar Dhawan and Liam Livingstone. Living stone who was a part of the Rajasthan Royals in the previous seasons has been involved in the Punjab squad now.&nbsp;



His failures while opening the batting for his earlier side brought in an overall downfall in his performances and thus forced his exclusion from the side. Punjab Kings may provide Liam with another similar opportunity and expect the hard-hitting batsman to live up to the worth on this occasion for his new team.&nbsp;



Liam Livingstone who holds the record for the fastest T20I ton by an Englishman has got enough abilities to fulfil the responsibilities entrusted upon him and might end up forming a wonderful opening pair with Shikhar Dhawan. The left-right combination shall also be a tough one to face for the opposition bowlers. Thus this opening duo might also be a good option to think about for the Punjab Kings this season.



Liam Livingstone (IPL Stats):-



Matches ? 9, Runs ? 112, Average ? 14.2, Strike Rate ? 125.8



Our Prediction: Although each of the above-mentioned opening pairs is equally available and important to the Kings, the most suitable and feasible of them all in our opinion is the one consisting of Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan.&nbsp;



Since the departure of K.L Rahul who had earlier been amassing runs for fun with Punjab in the league, the proper replacement was always being thought about by everyone in the team management. Shikhar Dhawan who has also been having similarly successful seasons in the past whole batting at the same position shall possibly be the most perfect match to fit the opening slot for the Kings this season.&nbsp;



His consistent performances and big scores in the shorter format shall be a good thing for the Kings. Mayank Agarwal who also has been a very improved player in the past few seasons for the Kings will expectedly be provided with extra responsibilities this season, one of which is to open the innings with equal efficiency as he did in the past seasons for his side.&nbsp;



This opening combination of Dhawan and Agarwal in our opinion shall be the best option for the Punjab Kings in IPL 2022.

The marquee event of this year, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is approaching quickly and Pakistan are busy finalizing preparations to compete as the hosts. They will be competing in a Tri-Series versus South Africa and New Zealand before the Champions Trophy and this bilateral event will act as a preparatory ground for the Mohammad Rizwan-led team. 
They have momentum on their side as they will be entering the tournament on the back of historic series wins in South Africa and Australia and also a good performance in the Tri Series will definitely increase their confidence and morale. 
Interestingly, the hosts are the only team who haven't unveiled their squad yet for the meha event of this year and questions about their unannounced squad have already started to raise and discussions have sparked. 
With explosive opener Saim Ayub struggling with an ankle fracture, several news reports have claimed that the Pakistani selectors might consider bringing in the likes of Shan Masood back into the One-Day International setup. Apart from the Test Captain, the National Team selectors might also consider bringing in some forgotten players and let's take a look at three such forgotten players who might get a chance to make their comebacks into the team in the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Usama Mir  </h2>
29-year-old spinner Usama Mir might find himself back in the squad for Champions Trophy 2025. With 15 scalps to his name in 12 One-Day Internationals, Usama has demonstrated his ability to outfox opposition batters with his unpredictable variations. While the duo of Sufiyan Muqeem and Abrar Ahmed have shown promise, their lack of experience in 50 over Cricket could lead the selectors to pick Usama Mir over the two above mentioned players. In List-A Cricket, the 29-year-old has dismissed 86 batters in 58 contests, which further strengthens his case. 
<h2>Shadab Khan</h2>
Once considered as the backbone of Pakistan's spin bowling unit, Shadab Khan has been away from One-Day Cricket due to a prolonged rough patch with the ball. The leg spin bowling All-rounder, with 85 scalps and 855 runs to his name in 70 One-Day Internationals, still remains a valuable asset for the Green Shirts. 
Keeping in mind the middle order struggles of the defending champions, Khan's ability to contribute with both ball &amp; bat could help him in securing a spot in Pakistan's Champions Trophy 2025 squad. His experience and a knack of performing in high-pressure situations makes him a strong contender for making a comeback to the National Team.
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Imam-ul-Haq</h2>
29-year-old Imam-ul-Haq, a reliable opening batter with a total of 3,138 One-Day International runs to his name at a good average of 48.27, last participated in an ODI match during the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. With Saim Ayub missing out due to an ankle injury and Abdullah Shafique struggling for form with the bat, the Pakistani selectors might turn to Imam in order to provide stability to the top-order. His proven track-record in ODI's make him a perfect option for the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025.
The selection committee of Pakistan's Men's National Cricket Team faces some tough decisions ahead of 2025 Champions Trophy. While the trio of Imam, Shadab and Usama may seem like surprising picks, their skill sets and experience could prove to be very crucial on home soil. Pakistani fans eagerly await the squad announcement of the National Team and they are hoping to see a balanced team capable of defending the Champions Trophy.

An incredible Bollywood biopic is set to be made on the life of former legendary Indian Captain Sourav Ganguly also known by his famous nickname 'Dada'. Following the success of the biopics of Mohammad Azharuddin, Mithali Raj and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ganguly's story will also be seen on the big screens. It is reported that this incredible film be made with the help of a big financial budget and talks are ongoing of executing this film under a big production house. 
Actor Rajkumar Rao's name has popped up to play the role of Dada in the film. Before, there were talks of Ranbir Kapoor and then Ayushmann Khurrana to play the role of the legendary Indian captain but there's no official confirmation regarding who will get the chance to play the role of Ganguly. 
The information about the script and release date are yet to be revealed and many interesting stories of Ganguly's life will be shown in this upcoming movie. Let's take a look at five such incidents which can make this biopic even more special:
<h2>Waving Team India's shirt on the Lord's balcony</h2>
In the all-important final of the 2002 Natwest Trophy, Team India chased down the difficult target of 326 runs and defeated England and this victory proved to be a really historic one. After securing this victory, Dads took off his jersey and waved it on the famous Lord's balcony. This moment became a symbol of the new era of Indian Cricket and showing this moment can truly make the biopic of Ganguly special.
<h2>Differences with Rahul Dravid</h2>
The friendship between two legends of Indian Cricket, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid was quite famous in the world of Cricket. But when Greg Chappell became the head coach of the National Team, differences started arising between the two players. Ganguly didn't like Chappell's arbitrariness and he expressed his displeasure with Dravid that he was not saying anything to Chappell despite being the skipper. This is the main reason why there was a distance between the two.
<h3>Greg Chappell Controversy</h3>
In 2005, the controversy between coach Greg Chappell and Ganguly created a stir in the world of Cricket. The former Australian batter wrote an email to the BCCI and called Ganguly "physically &amp; mentally" unfit for handling the leadership duties of the Men in Blue. This entire controversy was leaked to the Indian media and it made a lot of headlines.
<h2>Differences with Ravi Shastri</h2>
During the selection of the head coach of the Indian Team in 2016, a dispute was created between Ravi Shastri and Sourav Ganguly. The former had given his interview through a video call and the latter didn't attend the interview through a video call. Apart from Ganguly, the likes of VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar were also a part of the committee formed for the selection of the Head Coach. 
As Dada didn't attend the video call, a rhetoric was created between him and Shastri. This dispute became the main talking point in Indian Media.
<h3>Rumours of an affair with actress Nagma</h3>
During the 1999 ODI World Cup, the news of an affair between actress Nagma and Cricketer Sourav Ganguly popped up in the headlines. Although the Cricketer always denied it, the actress later confirmed the relationship and said that they had ended it in the interest of the country. Ganguly was already married and was the father of a child too at that time so the affair rumours proved to be very significant.

India head coach was mighty impress with the way young batter Tilak Varma played in the second T20I against England. The second match of the five-match series between the two heavyweights took place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday (25th January). 
Tilak Varma played one of his best innings in his career as he almost single-handedly won the game for India. The left-hander played a magnificent innings for his team and helped India win the game by the margin of just two wickets and took a 2-0 lead in the series.
Chasing the target of 166 runs, India struggled to have a good start as both the openers, Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, got out early. Tilak Varma, who walked out to bat at number three played a stellar innings and held the one end despite the wickets falling at the other end. 
The Southpaw hardly got any support till Washington Sundar (26) played a key role down the order before India was left tottering at 126 for seven. But Varma showed great maturity and took the game deep even though England kept ticking with wickets at the other end. 
Tilak Varma slammed a terrific half-century but made sure that he didn't lose his focus. He played the situation pretty well and took the game to the last over. A decent support from Ravi Bishnoi in the end allowed him to win the match for his team as India won the game by two wickets. 
Tilak Varma played a magnificent innings of unbeaten 72 runs off 55 balls. The left-hander batted with a strike rate of over 130 and also slammed 4 fours and 5 sixes in his innings. His knock helped India win the game and also earned him the Player of the Match award. 
As Tilak Varma won India the match, the entire Indian dressing room was chuffed to bits. The interesting reaction came from head coach Gautam Gambhir, who was seen kissing batter on the neck. This happened when the teams were shaking hands.
