For LSG, KL Rahul has been moderate at best. His contributions on top the inning have never really exuded much confidence and even his 39 against RR was thanks to some largesse from the fielders Rahul was dropped twice on single-figure scores and never really looked commanding.

The match with Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Chennai on Wednesday once more showed that they are in dire need of some support from their middle-order batters when it comes to testing situations.

Mohammed Shami's second spell was nothing less than spectacular as he wrecked Josh Inglis' stumps, followed up with two back-to-back wicket-maidens to ensure that the Australians were out of batters in next to nothing time.

A nine-wicket loss on a track that was always questionable is quite a testament on how the two sides handled the situation. More so when you consider that the visitors lost a wicket in the very first over.

The conspiracy theory will only get deeper if Australia, who are seeing ghosts in the track, especially for their left-handers, see some spin right from the get-go.

The under-19 win puts Shafali Verma in very high company indeed, as skipper of a champion side in that age group.

Most people in India, if was asked to name three players who have represented the country in tennis, would come to a grinding halt after one name Sania Mirza.

Rahul has had an abysmal season by and large, but every time he fails, there is some circumstance that sees him play some more, and fail again.

New Zealand didn't see Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli in action, while the likes of Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah are ostensibly still not fit enough for anything.

When so many runs are scored, naturally the bowling looks pedestrian. But with just one match to go before India seal off their engagements before the T20 World Cup, the bowling coach will still be scratching his head.

The Pakistan spinners were on point and between them Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz were able to put the lid on the run rate, and India's plans of a 200-plus score fell well short.

Chahar's enforced six-month hiatus from India colours had created a little bit of a gap in the attack, but such is the depth of cricket in India now that there were bowlers dime-a-dozen waiting to take over the position.

When all of this was done, there were still a few teams left to play but that too was taken care of. Now we play all the Asian boys in the Asia Cup with Team A, while Team B goes to Zimbabwe.

The matches showed how India's largely second line of cricketers took the battle to the West Indies on their turf it is never easy beating them in their backyard and came up with the goods when it mattered the most.

Stokes' retirement from ODIs is something that could well become a fashion. While the International Cricket Council (ICC) doesn't yet acknowledge it, the 50-over format is looking progressively more remote and uninspiring.

Pant's patting the last delivery from David Willey for a single after hitting five consecutive fours is a sign of how he is maturing, and hopefully has left his wild swinging days behind.

The match against Spain was a stark reminder of how poor the Indian team's finishing has been throughout the tournament, and if they didn't lose by a bigger margin, it was thanks to the goalkeeping efforts of team captain Savita.

The Indian batting did not really do justice to the advantage that they had after the two first innings were played and let the English bowlers in when they should have ruthlessly closed the little opening in the door.

Bairstow, batting on 13 during England's first inning in the fifth and deciding Test of the series, had a little bit of an exchange with Kohli, where the former Indian captain told the Englishman to "shut up and bat".

Neeraj's Scandinavian journey for the current lot is done and dusted and if we are to understand correctly, he will now straightaway focus on the World Athletics Championship in the US from July 15 to 24.

Captaincy in India has become a fickle thing. The original skipper, Rohit Sharma, was out of action post the IPL and then KL Rahul was given the responsibility, till he dropped into the inured list and Rishabh Pant took up the mantle against South Africa.

The real questions to be raised are about the T20 side, especially since this is where the biggest prize of the year the World Cup will be decided.

The second T20 International at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack saw Pant, once again, falling prey to his own exuberance and extravagance, opines senior cricket journalist Jaideep Ghosh.
