Kohli will break all the records, feels Zaheer Abbas

FATULLAH (Bangladesh): Legendary Pakistan batsman Zaheer Abbas is the new entrant in the list of illustrious former cricketers, who feel that India’s premier batsman Virat Kohli is destined for greatness.

“Virat Kohli is one batsman who will break all the records in international cricket. The transition phase in Indian batting has already happened as they now have a set line-up.

“Pakistan also have talented bunch of batsmen. But we are in the process of rebuilding,” Abbas, who is a batting consultant of the Pakistan team, told a gathering of Indian journalists after team’s training session on Sunday.

The former Pakistan captain praised young opener Ahmed Shehzad.

“Ahmed Shehzad is a talented batsman and will mature into a good player in the coming days,” Abbas said.

Asked about the India versus Pakistan clash on March 21, Abbas agreed that skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s comeback from injury certainly will make the ‘Men in Blue’ a stronger unit.

“During Asia Cup, Dhoni was not there and now he is back. So that will definitely make India stronger but we did beat a good Indian side. A lot of people thought that the Pakistan are not good chasers but during the Asia Cup, the boys showed what they are capable of. We have had two good run chases (India and Bangladesh),” the 67-year-old veteran of 78 Test matches said.

For Abbas, the best part about this current Pakistan team is its self-belief, which he finds very reassuring.

“What I love about these young boys in the Pakistan team is their confidence. Even in tense situations they would tell me, “Zaheer bhai, hum jeetenge”. I love this attitude,” the touch artist of 70s and 80s said.

Abbas said cricket has changed a lot and one needs to embrace the changes in technique and approach of the players.

“I remember some years back during a match where I was watching it sitting beside Sunny (Sunil Gavaskar). A batsman edged one and it flew past the slips for a boundary. Sunny laughed and said that during our days, the coaches would have told us to run five rounds of the ground as a punishment for not playing a proper cricketing shot. But now a boundary is a boundary and people love it. The bottom line is this is what the people wants and they love this format (T20),” Abbas explained.

Abbas recalled how it all started in the late 70s with the ‘Packer revolution’.

“It was during our generation that coloured clothing and white balls were introduced along with black sightscreens. Kerry Packer got it. I played in England where we had John Player League which had 40-over per side games.

World Twenty20: Chance to check combination as India take on Sri Lanka

MIRPUR: Their confidence at its lowest ebb after continuous failures, a beleaguered India would look to pick up the pieces and make a fresh start when they take on an upbeat Sri Lanka in their first warm-up game of the ICC World Twenty20 on Monday.

While the tournament proper will begin for India on March 21 against arch-rivals Pakistan, the two warm-up ties will provide captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni with a chance to sort out his playing combination before the real action begins.

The warm-up tie gives the team a chance to try out all 15 players in the squad. Therefore while all the batsmen can expect to get a hit in match situation, the bowlers will also get an opportunity to prove their worth to the skipper.

Also the fact that Indian players, smarting from disastrous tours of South Africa and New Zealand besides the failed Asia Cup campaign, will be playing competitive T20 after five months will also help them adapt quickly having last played a T20 international in October against Australia.

The result of the match is of little consequence as various combinations are expected to be tried out. The most interesting aspect will be the opening combination in this format.

Sikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma are a regular opening pair in ODIs. But Rohit’s initial struggle against white kookaburra in the 50-over format is well documented.

T20 would not give the Mumbaikar enough time to settle down. Ajinkya Rahane, who has successfully opened for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, might just partner Dhawan in such a scenario.

If the last match of the Asia Cup against Afghanistan is an indicator, then Rahane has a bright chance of opening the batting for India.

Yuvraj Singh, one of India’s proven match-winners, will be making a comeback along with Suresh Raina, who is also returning to the national team after being dumped from the Asia Cup squad on grounds of indifferent form.

But Raina has been one among India’s better T20 batsmen — the only one from the country to score an international T20 century.

Skipper Dhoni, having recovered from a side strain, would like a couple of good knocks under his belt while Virat Kohli would also aim to get into the groove before Pakistan come calling.

The warm up match against Sri Lanka will certainly give both the left-handers the much needed confidence they had lost due to string of poor scores in earlier international matches.

The likes of Ambati Rayudu and Stuart Binny will aim to keep their captain interested for a place in the side.

A quickfire 50 off 30 balls from Rayudu or a couple of wickets and a cameo from Binny might prompt the team management to think differently although they haven’t shown any inclination towards being flexible with team combination.

“We might not have played a lot of T20 internationals but the IPL exposure will certainly help us. We need to play as a unit in order to do well,” team’s premier batsman Virat Kohli told the mediapersons during an open session at the team hotel yesterday.

India’s bowling certainly is their problem area in the slam-bang version of the game.

India do not have bowlers who have enough variations to keep the batsman guessing in the back 10 of a T20 game.

Mohammed Shami is India’s strike bowler but he has proved to be quite expensive in the death overs as far as ODIs are concerned. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohit Sharma have also never been a problem for top-class international batsman.

This brings the focus on Varun Aaron — India’s fastest bowler at the moment. While there’s no denying that Aaron has the pace, he is inconsistent and it has already been proved in the few IPL matches that he has played for the Delhi Daredevils.

A lot will depend on how well Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja bowl on slowish tracks. With both being more than capable batsmen, they are an automatic choice in the playing XI.

Sri Lanka will be very upbeat, having won the Asia Cup and the impasse on Players’ Payment issue with Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on the verge of end.

Young Dinesh Chandimal will have some of the greatest players of modern era like Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara to teach him a few tricks on the leadership issues.

Lasith Malinga, who has been a terror for the batsmen in IPL, will be again asking questions to the Indian willow wielders.

In all a victory will boost the fledgling confidence of an Indian team that has been on the wane for some time now.

Teams (from):

India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (Capt.), Varun Aaron, Stuart Binny, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Amit Mishra, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Suresh Raina, Mohammad Shami, Mohit Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh.

Sri Lanka's Sangakkara to quit T20 after World Twenty20

COLOMBO: Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara will retire from Twenty20 internationals after the ongoing World T20 in Bangladesh, the veteran left-hander told a newspaper on Sunday.

The 36-year-old said he wanted to make way for younger players in the national team, but made himself available to play the shortest format in franchise-based competitions.

“Definitely, without a doubt, this is my last World T20,” Sangakkara told the Colombo-based Sunday Island newspaper. “I won’t be playing any T20 internationals after this.

“It’s sad, but that’s the truth. It’s not the end of my T20 career though. I would like to play franchise-based T20s. Once your World Cup prospects are over, you should give the next crop of players an opportunity. It’s a natural progression.”

Sangakkara, under whom Sri Lanka reached the final of the 2009 World Twenty20 in England, has played 50 T20 internationals, scoring 1,311 runs at an average of 32.77 with seven half-centuries.

He has been in prime form of late, smashing a triple-century and a hundred in the second Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong last month.

Sri Lanka, the world’s number one T20 side, are drawn with South Africa, England, New Zealand and a yet-to-be decided qualifier in the Super-10 round of the World Twenty20.

Pakistan made a superb comeback after being reduced to 18/3 and played very well to post a solid total on board. Alam and captain Misbah-ul-Haq led the way for Pakistan with a 122-run stand with both of them scoring fifties.

Misbah missed out on his hundred yet again but Alam went on to score his maiden ODI hundred.

Akmal in the end overs played a breezy knock of 59 to ensure they finished on a high as Pakistan scored 101 runs in the last ten overs. Alam slammed his maiden one-day international hundred in 126 balls with 8 boundaries and 3 scintillating sixes to his credit and also put up a quick-fire 115-run stand with Akmal to propel Pakistan to a respectable total.

Akmal also hit 7 smashing boundaries to frustrate the Sri Lankan bowlers after Pakistan were in a spot of bother early.

Malinga rattled the Pakistani innings early on as he struck in successive overs to dismiss Sharjeel Khan and Ahmed Shehzad cheaply after skipper Misbah won the toss and decided to bat first.

Soon after, Malinga dismissed Mohammad Hafeez to leave the defending champions stuttering at 18/3 in 4.3 overs.

Misbah (65) and Fawad then staged a spirited fightback by putting up an impressive 122-run stand for the 4th wicket; however, the party was short-lived when Malinga dismissed the Pakistan captain.
