In the upcoming 12th Edition of Indian Premier League that will be held from 29 March to 19 May 2019, Shikhar Dhawan is expected to move to Kings XI Punjab for the Indian Premier League 2019.

Shikhar Dhawan is a part of Sunrisers Hyderabad who bought him for an amount of Rs 5.2 Crore. As per Reports, it seems that Dhawan’s salary is being doubled at Kings XI Punjab.

Karun Nair, who was bought by Kings XI Punjab for an amount of Rs 5.6 Crore couldn’t perform to the expectations last season. So Dhawan is likely to swap places with Karun Nair.

The report of Shikhar Dhawan’s move to Kings XI Punjab is surprising as The Mumbai Mirror reported that the Dhawan is unhappy with the 2016 IPL champions and he could be moving to the Mumbai Indians for the upcoming season.

Dhawan’s move to Mumbai Indians could be pleasing for Indian fans as Shikhar Dhawan will open the innings with Rohit Sharma and their partnership is at the top level. But if Dhawan moves to Kings XI Punjab, he will be opening the innings with KL Rahul who was bought by the KXIP for Rs 11 Crore.

The official announcement for Shikhar Dhawan’s move is yet to be made as soon as the transfer window will end in a few weeks.

Mumbai Indians have already added Quinton de Kock who was released by Royal Challengers Bangalore. Mumbai Indians have also released Mustafizur Rahman and Akila Dananjaya ahead of the auction for the next season.

Sunrisers Hyderabad could possibly release Manish Pandey as batsman failed to do justice with the amount of Rs.11 Crore for which he was bought by the franchise. Rajasthan Royals could release Jaydev Unadkat, who was bought for Rs 11.5 Crore as he just managed to take 11 wickets in IPL 2018.

As per reports, the auction for the upcoming season will take place in Goa instead of Bangalore on December 16. Other teams are also expected to come up with lists of released or transferred players.

Vice Captain of Indian Cricket Team Rohit Sharma after performing phenomenally in First ODI against West Indies at Guwahati left everyone surprised. Rohit- Virat partnership scored together 246 runs for India.

Virat Kohli scored 140 runs off 107 balls and Rohit remained not out and scored 152 runs off 117 balls. India took the lead by 1-0 in ODI as the match was won by India by 8 wickets.

Sourav Ganguly told India TV that It was a fantastic performance. It never felt as if the Indian Team was under pressure of a stiff target. They easily won the match and he strongly believes that the Indian Team will seal the series too.

After performing so well in ODI and setting many records, Rohit Sharmawas overlooked once again for Australia Tests Series.

Former Indian Skipper Sourav Ganguly favors Rohit Sharma’s inclusion in Tests Series.

When Dada didn’t see Rohit Sharma’s name in Indian Test Squad as announced by BCCI, he was left surprised.

Sourav Ganguly is confident that Rohit Sharma is now ready for Test cricket. Though Rohit Sharma doesn’t have an impressive Test record. But now, Dada believes that he should be given a chance. Rohit has three double centuries in ODIs and also has three centuries in T20Is.

Sourav Ganguly said that Rohit has gained confidence in his game with time. In captaincy too, Rohit has proved his mettle. He thinks that this is the time for the selectors to take Rohit along on the Australian tour for the Test series. Rohit has matured a lot in the last two years.

Past records show that Rohit has played 25 Tests till now in which he has scored 1479 runs at an average of 39.97. Rohit made a comeback to the Test team last year when he replaced Karun Nair for the tour of Sri Lanka. He played his first Test in more than a year in the home series against Sri Lanka last year.

There he scored 217 runs in two Tests at an average of 217. He was also picked ahead of vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane in the series against South Africa early this year. But Rohit failed to covert the opportunity. He failed to score even a half-century in the first two Tests. The selectors have ignored the batsman consistently since then.

What a phenomenal match it was! The first ODI match out of the 5 ODI match series between India and West Indies was held at Guwahati. The match was won by India by 8 wickets.

The partnership between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli was awesome. In the Innings, Rohit made 152 runs by hitting 15 fours and 8 sixes and Virat made 140 Runs. India took the lead by 1-0.

Rohit Sharma broke the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar’s record and Australian opener David Warner’s record. He made the record of the first batsman with six 150-plus scores in One Day International’s.

Sachin Tendulkar was on the top of the list by hitting five 150-plus scores in One Day International’s. Australian opener David Warner also has five 150-plus scores in One Day International’s. Following him West Indies batsman Chris Gayle, Sri Lankan batsman Sanath Jayasuriya, and South African batsmen Hashim Amla made Four 150-plus scores in One Day International’s.

By scoring 152 runs, Rohit Sharma became the second Indian batsmen who made highest runs against West Indies. In the first place was Virendra Sehwag who made 219 runs. On third is Sachin Tendulkar who made 141 runs against West Indies. On the fourth place is Virat Kohli who made 140 runs.

Not only this, Rohit Sharma became the third Indian Batsmen to hit most sixes. First place is held by MS Dhoni with 210 sixes. Following him is Sachin Tendulkar with 195 sixes. On the third place was Sourav Ganguly with 189 sixes but now on the third is Rohit with 190 sixes.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the second Innings made the longest partnership till date by making 246 runs together. Before Rohit, this record was held by Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir partnership of 224 runs.

The squad that was announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India for the first two ODIs against West Indies includes Captain Virat Kohli , Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan , Ambati Rayudu, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, K Khaleel Ahmed, Lokesh Rahul and Umesh Yadav.

Suresh Raina is missing from the list of players. The left-handed middle-order batsman Suresh Raina is not included by BCCI in India’s Squad. He is an excellent fielder too. The Uttar Pradesh boy can put a control on the opposition’s scoring rate with his off-breaks and can also stop the batsmen from rotating the strike with his fielding skills.

With the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup is approaching the Indian selectors should give chance to Suresh Raina to prove himself.

Raina should have been a part of the ODI squad as he is reliable and experienced batsmen. He is an excellent fielder. He is an all-rounder and spinner that India needs.

Suresh Raina is only Indian cricketer who can play fearlessly. From the first ball itself, his hard work is seen. Raina can be essential in the last 10 overs of the innings as he can score runs at a faster rate while consuming the minimum number of balls.

Raina can play in the lower order too. He is a flexible batsman. He can play a match-winning innings at whatever position he is asked to play at.

As far as bowling is concerned, India’s pace-bowling all-rounder in Hardik Pandya . The teams now prefer four main frontline bowlers and 1-2 all-rounders. India has not found their spin bowling all-rounder. Although Jadeja has performed well with the ball. But his batting is not reliable in ODIs.

Suresh Raina is a part-time off-spinner. He used to bowl consistently under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. So he should have been included in ODI Squad. He has 36 ODI wickets to his name.

As a fielder, Suresh Raina’s fielding skills are unmatched. India’s fielding issues have been going on for ages. Raina took the Indian fielding to a new level. Raina is a terrific fielder.

If Suresh Raina plays to his 100% capability, then he can be India’s biggest player at the ICC World Cup 2019.
