As India prepares for their high-stakes World Cup match against Pakistan, Ravichandran Ashwin has shared a unique strategy to counter Usman Tariq’s “stop-and-pause” action. By stepping away from the crease during the bowler’s hesitation, Ashwin suggests Indian batters can use the “dead ball” rule to break Tariq’s rhythm and shift the psychological pressure back onto the opposition.
At last, the inevitable happened, and the much-awaited U-turn is here. On Monday night, the Government of Pakistan directed the senior men’s team to take the field against India in the Men’s T20 World Cup on February 15 in Colombo.
As per the rankings, Scotland may replace Bangladesh if the latter decides to pull out of the upcoming T20 World Cup, that is scheduled to be held in India.
