9 Cricket Captains [Photo] Most Lucky for Their Teams to Win ICC Trophy

<p>Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Rishabh Pant marked his comeback in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 with a 13-ball 18-run knock against Punjab Kings (PBKS) a few weeks ago. The batter, though, couldn't make his mark in the first two outings, but he managed to turn up the heat with his blistering knocks in the last two matches.</p>



<p>Pant scored two consecutive half-centuries in his team's last two matches against Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to announce his arrival in the IPL 2024. The glovesman took his side to the victory after playing a 23-ball 51-run knock, while his valiant 25-ball 55-run knock against KKR kept his side in the fray for a long time.</p>



<p>Notably, the last two performances from Rishabh Pant give some hope to the batter for his international comeback after suffering a near-fatal car accident on 31st December 2022. The wicketkeeper batter battled out all the injuries and paved the way to again play cricket in record time.</p>



<p>After his IPL comeback, Rishabh Pant is on track to make his Team India comeback as well, believes Michael Clarke, former Australian cricketer.</p>



<p>Pant, with his brilliant display of batting in the last two games, has certainly knocked on the selector's doors for his selection in Team India's squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. </p>



<p>Clarke congratulated the cricketer for undergoing months of hard work off the field to make a comeback in record time. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Rishabh-Pant-Delhi-1024x683.jpg" alt="&quot;We want him to play for India&quot; in T20 World Cup 2024: Michael Clarke on Rishabh Pant's return" class="wp-image-132599" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



<p id="luldxi3a">?Yeah, look it's great for Indian cricket, but it's also great for Rishabh Pant. I think the work that has gone into his rehab to get back to that level of play at any standard is an amazing achievement. He deserves a lot of credit for his hard work and it's great to see him on the field, captaining and playing well, batting and keeping.?</p>



<p>The Aussie broadcaster reckons that everyone is delighted to see Rishabh Pant back on the field after a long wait of more than a year. He further wished to see him back in India's jersey for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.</p>



<p id="luldxi3a">?I saw the Delhi physio run out to the field a couple of times to check on him, so hopefully he's pulled out okay, the positives are in the presentation he said he was fine and hopefully a day off or a couple of days off and he will be ready for the next game. He's a wonderful player and everybody is happy that he's back on the field and we want to see him play for Delhi, but we also want to see him come back and play for India as soon as possible.?</p>



<p>The <a href="https://www.icc-cricket.com/tournaments/t20cricketworldcup">T20 World Cup 2024</a> is set to begin on June 1 with the USA taking on Canada in the tournament opener. The elite tournament will be held across the venues in the USA and West Indies. India will begin its run in the event on June 5 against Ireland. The most anticipated India vs Pakistan clash will be held on June 09 in New York.</p>

"We want him to play for India" in T20 World Cup 2024: Michael Clarke on Rishabh Pant's return

<p><strong>BGT:</strong> Australia's legendary former captain Michael Clarke has given valuable advice to the Kangaroos ahead of the forthcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024 (BGT). He has advised the Aussie players to refrain from sledging Indian Cricket Team's elite batter Virat Kohli. The 43-year-old has listed several reasons for not sledging the legendary Indian batter.</p>



<p>Virat has been struggling to perform well in recent times and he has been going through a lean-patch with the bat. Despite his struggles, the Indian fans are anticipating Virat to perform in a brilliant manner in the forthcoming five-match Test Series. In the last four years, Virat has managed to amass just 1,838 runs in 34 five-day format games at a poor average of 31.68, which includes two hundreds and nine fifties.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why should the Australian players not commit the mistake of sledging Virat?</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/IMG_20241120_043355.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-149605" style="width:512px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Indian batsman Virat Kohli (C) and teammate Ajinkya Rahane (L) exchange words with Australia's Mitchell Johnson (R) on the third day of the third cricket Test played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Melbourne on December 28, 2014.

<p>Clarke is aware about the threat which Kohli poses and he knows that he's hungry to score runs and if he gets sledged then he can use that to bring back his lost confidence and enthusiasm. The 36-year-old has a habit of fighting back in a strong manner whenever he gets sledged by his opponents.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p class="has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color">In a conversation with popular Indian website Rev Sports Clarke said," I don't think the Aussie players would commit the foolish mistake of sledging him (Virat). Kohli loves getting sledged by his opponents. He would want the Australian players to move forward and pick up a fight versus him. He will be looking forward to punish the Aussies by performing at his best if he ends up getting sledged by them. You should stay away from giving such an opportunity to Virat and I am pretty sure that the Australian players would be aware about this".</p>
</blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p class="has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color has-link-color">He (Kohli) has received a lot of love and support here in Australia and he has a big list of achievements as well. I am eager to watch him bat in the forthcoming series. As I previously mentioned, if the Indian Cricket Team wants to retain the Border Gavaskar Trophy, then their main batsman Virat Kohli will have to be at his best and score as many runs as possible with the bat," Clarke further added.</p>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Virat Kohli is completely fit and Raring to go</strong></h2>



<p>The 1st Test-Match of the 2024 Border Gavaskar Trophy will be played in the city of Perth from Friday, 22nd of November onwards and Virat Kohli is busy in preparing himself for the highly anticipated series.</p>



<p>The Australian media had previously reported that the 36-year-old is struggling with fitness related issues and has gone for x-ray scans. But, in the intra-squad match-simulation of the Men in Blue, Virat looked completely fit and he wasn't witnessed facing any kind of issues while playing.</p>



<p>The former Indian skipper got dismissed after scoring 15 runs in the intra-squad game, but then he straight away went to the nets and practiced for a duration of 30 minutes. Following this, he faced the short pitched deliveries of Nitish Kumar Reddy and Prasidh Krishna in a brave manner. Virat is expected to perform well with the bat in the upcoming BGT series and he will play an important role in helping India retain the trophy.</p>

Weather is mostly clear with slight rain chances. Top Dream11 picks include Seifert, Allen, Bracewell, and Duffy, with Salman Ali Agha and Bracewell as captaincy options

NZ vs PAK: The fifth T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan will be played on 26 March at Wellington’s Sky Stadium, which has hosted 22 T20Is—10 won batting first, 12 chasing. The average first-innings score is 153, but high totals like NZ’s 219/6 and successful chases like Australia’s 216 show it can be a batting-friendly ground. Key performers here include Martin Guptill (453 runs) and Ish Sodhi (17 wickets). With chasing slightly favored and spinners often influential, the match could hinge on whether Pakistan’s batters or New Zealand’s home advantage proves decisive.
