Nicknamed 'Mr. ICC' for his consistent brilliance in global tournaments, Dhawan was the top scorer and Player of the Tournament during India’s victorious 2013 Champions Trophy campaign. He replicated his form in the 2015 World Cup and 2017 Champions Trophy, averaging an exceptional 65 in ICC events.</p><p data-start="623" data-end="1180">Across 167 ODIs, Dhawan amassed 6793 runs at an average of 44.11, including 17 centuries and 39 fifties. His final outing in India colors came during the 2022 tour of Bangladesh, where he scored just 18 runs in three innings. That series also featured Ishan Kishan’s record-breaking double century—210 off 131 balls—which Dhawan revealed was a pivotal moment for him. “When Ishan Kishan scored that 200, my instinct told me, alright boy, this can be the end of your career. An inner voice came to me. And that’s what happened,” Dhawan told Hindustan Times.</p><p data-start="1182" data-end="1572">In that particular game, Dhawan scored only 3 runs while India went on to win by 227 runs. Despite the personal setback, Dhawan shared that he was emotionally at peace. “Then I remember my friends came over to, you know, give me that emotional support. They thought that I would be very down. But I was chilling; I was enjoying it," he added, reflecting his typical calm and cheerful demeanor.</p><h3 data-start="1579" data-end="1647">"We Are Used to It Since Under-14 Days": Dhawan on Being Dropped</h3><p data-start="1649" data-end="2018">Dhawan also addressed the silence from teammates after he was dropped from the Indian team, clarifying that such things are not unusual in the world of cricket. “No, it doesn’t happen that way (teammates messaging after someone being dropped). Maybe I spoke to Rahul (Dravid) bhai. He messaged me,” he said, when asked if any player had reached out after his exclusion.</p><p data-start="2020" data-end="2456" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node=""><strong>See Also: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-virat-kohli-and-anushka-sharma-spotted-in-london-ahead-of-eng-vs-ind-2nd-test/">Watch: Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma spotted in London ahead of ENG vs IND 2nd Test</a></strong></p><p data-start="2020" data-end="2456" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">The 39-year-old veteran stressed that he wasn’t shocked by the development, having experienced selections and exclusions since his early playing days. “Everyone has their own journey, and they are doing work or they are on tours; that’s something very normal. We are used to it from the age of under 14; this is not the first time I am getting dropped or getting in,” Dhawan said calmly, summing up his journey with characteristic grace.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[[WATCH] Ishan Kishan rolls his arm over in the First DIV County Championship match against Somerset]]></title> <link>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-ishan-kishan-rolls-his-arm-over-in-the-first-div-county-championship-match-against-somerset/</link> <guid>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-ishan-kishan-rolls-his-arm-over-in-the-first-div-county-championship-match-against-somerset/</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2025 11:48:46 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[The Indian wicketkeeper-batter was seen performing an unusual role with the ball during the 43rd Match of the First Division County Championship at Taunton.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-03 122510.webp" width="414" height="205" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-03 122510.webp"/><p>In an unusual turn of events, the Indian wicketkeeper batter <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/ishan-kishan-720471" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ishan Kishan</a> was seen having some fun in a recently concluded four-day game of the First Division County Championship 2025 that took place between Nottinghamshire and Somerset at Taunton. Playing for Nottinghamshire, the skipper, Haseeb Hameed, tossed the ball to Kishan during Somerset's second innings. It was a surprise move from the Nottinghamshire skipper, knowing that Kishan had primarily been selected as a frontline batter who could occasionally keep wickets. </p><p>Despite virtually having no major bowling skills in his repertoire, <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/ishan-kishan-s-top-5-dream-opening-partners-in-ipl-including-legends-and-young-talents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ishan Kishan</a> had no hesitation in having a go with the ball. The 26-year-old wicket-keeper batter turned to off-spin, and his bowling action triggered a striking resemblance with the former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh. He bowled his first delivery to the in-form Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who eventually went on to remain unbeaten on 147. The first delivery was a drag down, which was punched down the ground. He followed it up with another back-of-a-length delivery to Tom Abell, which was defended back to him.</p><p>The 26-year-old bowled only a solitary over in this game and gave away just one run. Kishan was brought on in an effort to trigger a collapse. The strike bowlers from Nottinghamshire had a hard time dismissing Somerset in the second innings. Kohler-Cadmore and Abell carried on their merry way and put on an unbeaten 114-run stand to see Somerset off to a draw. </p><p><strong>See also: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/county-championship-2025-live-streaming-details-where-to-watch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">County Championship 2025: Live Streaming Details & Where to watch</a><br></p><h3>Watch the video:</h3><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ishan Kishan bowling in County Cricket 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IshanKishan?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#IshanKishan</a> <a href="https://t.co/rXAjxXhuLh">pic.twitter.com/rXAjxXhuLh</a></p>— Ayush (@AyushCricket32) <a href="https://twitter.com/AyushCricket32/status/1940440411673375217?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 2, 2025</a></blockquote><p>Apart from the ball, Kishan also made a contribution with the bat. He finished as the third highest run scorer for Nottinghamshire in the first innings, adding a useful 77 (128), which featured eight fours and two sixes. Prior to his county stint, Kishan had previously garnered some bowling experience by bowling a few overs in First-Class and domestic T20 cricket. In FC cricket, Kishan has bowled 54 balls and has given away 43 runs while going wicketless. Whereas, in the domestic T20 cricket, Kishan has only bowled seven balls and has given away only six runs while returning wicketless. </p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Pakistan's Mohammad Abbas Bonds With India's Ishan Kishan During County Championship]]></title> <link>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/pakistan-s-mohammad-abbas-bonds-with-india-s-ishan-kishan-during-county-championship/</link> <guid>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/pakistan-s-mohammad-abbas-bonds-with-india-s-ishan-kishan-during-county-championship/</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2025 15:09:21 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[A rare frame has emerged after an unexpected combination on the field.

When India and Pakistan shared a tense situation only a few days ago, the photo of Kishan and Abbas came as a surprise to many.</p><p>Though, whoever follows cricket thoroughly can understand the reason behind the popular selfie. India's Ishan Kishan and Pakistan's Mohammad Abbas found themselves as teammates in Nottinghamshire for the current County Championship season. The Indian keeper-batter joined the club on a short-term deal. The 40th match between Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire witnessed the combination of these two players.</p><p>Abbas tricked Adam Lyth, the opener of Yorkshire, who was beaten by the pace, and got a thick edge that carried behind the stumps into the gloves of Ishan Kishan. Lyth departed with a golden duck. The India-Pakistan duo produced a success for Nottinghamshire.

On the field with the county club, Ishan played a significant innings, missing a century only by a few runs. He played an outstanding innings of 87 runs in 98 balls with 12 boundaries and a solitary over-boundary. That innings came under pressure and showed a reason why the keeper-batter is considered as one of the contenders to make a Team India return. </p><p>The match between Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire ended in a draw. In reply to Nottinghamshire's 487, the opposing team scored 510 in the second innings. Finlay Bean's 224-run knock came to rescue Yorkshire. Abbas was able to claim only one wicket in 20 overs. The match ended in the second innings after Nottinghamshire declared their innings for 148/1. </p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Watch: Ishan Kishan smashes fifty on County debut for Nottinghamshire]]></title> <link>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-ishan-kishan-smashes-fifty-on-county-debut-for-nottinghamshire/</link> <guid>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-ishan-kishan-smashes-fifty-on-county-debut-for-nottinghamshire/</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Jun 2025 16:41:03 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Ishan Kishan hit a stylish fifty on his County Championship debut for Nottinghamshire, adding to his record of debut fifties in T20Is and ODIs.

Going out to bat in entirely alien English conditions, Kishan demonstrated why he is considered one of India’s most fearless young prospects.</span><span id="input-sentence~1"> His aggressive shot-making and ability to quickly settle into the game were on full display as he crafted a composed yet attacking fifty, proving that his talent knows no boundaries. According to Sportstar, this debut knock came against an unnamed opponent, but what stood out was Kishan’s determination to make an impact and expand his game outside the subcontinent.</span><span id="input-sentence~2"><br><br>For a player know for its flair and dare, County is important chapter in his cricket career."

Cricket fans across the globe were thoroughly entertained through the tournament, packed with multiple high-octane clashes. Along with high-scoring chases of neck-to-neck battles, IPL 2025 has sparked controversies multiple times because of umpires' decisions. There have been at least 5 occasions when an umpire's call causes cricketers or fans to fume. Let's discuss all five of them below;</p><h3>Mitchell Starc No Ball</h3><p><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/1000038765.webp" alt="" width="1280" height="720"></p><p>A no-ball call from the umpire during a super over between Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad raised multiple questions. The umpire gave a no-ball call due to Mitchell Starc's back foot landing beyond the return crease. It was the fourth delivery of the super over. Cricket fans fumed because they alleged that in an over of Mumbai Indians' bowler Vignesh Puthur, the same thing happened, but then the umpire did not make any call. </p><h3>Ishan Kishan's wicket in a bizarre manner:</h3><p><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/1000038766.webp" alt="" width="1280" height="720"></p><p>Sunrisers Hyderabad's Ishan Kishan came to the center of controversies when he decided to walk off even before the umpire made his call. The match was between Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, and Ishan's incident happened on a Deepak Chahar over. The SRH batter tried to push the ball down the leg side but could not make contact. Then, all of a sudden, Kishan started to walk back to the dugout, and after some hesitation, the umpire raised his finger. Later, it found that there was no connection between the ball and bat. </p><p><strong>Read More</strong>:<a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/comeback-ho-toh-aisa-ho-fans-react-as-karun-nair-smashes-double-century-against-england-lions/"> 'Comeback ho toh aisa ho' - Fans react as Karun Nair smashes double century against England Lions</a></p><h3>No timer on the screen</h3><p><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/1000038767.webp" alt="" width="1280" height="720"></p><p>When Chennai Super Kings batter Dewald Brevis asked the umpire to apply DRS after consulting with Ravindra Jadeja, his batting partner at the non-striking end, the umpire clearly denied the CSK batter's request to apply DRS. According to the umpire, the 15-second time frame to make a decision for DRS had expired. But, surprisingly, there was no timer on the giant screen that indicated the countdown. Experienced batters like Ravindra Jadeja were in disbelief by the decision from the umpire. </p><h3>Shubman Gill's controversial run-out:</h3><p><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/1000038769.webp" alt="" width="1280" height="720"></p><p>Gujarat Titans skipper lost his cool when the umpire ruled him dismissed for a run-out. It was clear that Gill was well outside of the safe line, but the question was how the bails had dislodged—a direct impact by the ball or by the gloves of SRH keeper Heinrich Klaasen? Later, it was discovered that it was Klaasen's gloves that removed the bails from timber. </p><h3>Rohit Sharma's LBW</h3><p><img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/1000038771.webp" alt="" width="1280" height="720"></p><p>The match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) was at its initial stage; the 2nd over of the first innings was underway. On the fourth delivery of that over, Farooqi's delivery went straight to hit the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohit_Sharma&ved=2ahUKEwi5wMfM_s2NAxUQxzgGHazmJWwQmhN6BAgTEA4&sqi=2&usg=AOvVaw3Gfv3qnpz5xG-IGxAs_0Km">Rohit Sharma</a>'s pad, and the on-field umpire's decision was out. After a chat with opening partner Rickelton, Rohit decided to go for a review. The field umpire's decision was overturned after DRS, and that sparked controversy among some of the cricket fans.</p><p> </p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA["Jeet Ka Jalwa, Dushman Dhal Gaya!" – SRH Crush RCB by 42 Runs]]></title> <link>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/jeet-ka-jalwa-dushman-dhal-gaya-srh-crush-rcb-by-42-runs/</link> <guid>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/jeet-ka-jalwa-dushman-dhal-gaya-srh-crush-rcb-by-42-runs/</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 24 May 2025 02:34:25 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 42 runs in a big win.

The discontinuation of fast-bowling contracts sparks concerns about India’s bowling depth, and debates arise over the relevance of the A+ category.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/04/123r123rtre23r.webp" width="1280" height="720" alt="5 Talking Points from BCCI’s New Contract"/><p>The <strong><a href="https://www.bcci.tv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BCCI </a></strong>has officially released the central contracts for the 2024–25 season, effective from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. These contracts are categorized into four distinct grades—A+, A, B, and C—based on a player’s consistency, performance, and overall value to the team across formats. This classification system helps identify top-tier talent and recognizes the importance of players in shaping India’s cricketing future.</p><p>Among the most significant highlights of the announcement are the shifts in player placements across the contract grades. Promotions, omissions, and surprising inclusions have sparked widespread discussions among fans and analysts. The list not only reflects current form but also hints at the selectors’ long-term vision. These changes are expected to influence team dynamics and individual player motivation moving forward into a crucial year of Indian cricket.</p><h3>1. Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan Return to Central Contracts</h3><p>Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan are back on the BCCI’s central contracts after missing out last year because of a lack of commitment to domestic cricket, instead having chosen to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Iyer, who is the leading run-scorer in India's Champions Trophy-winning run, has been handed a Grade B contract with ₹ 3 crore in annual retainers. With the likes of Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik firmly setting themselves up as India's wicket-keepers, Kishan has been handed a Grade C contract worth ₹ 1 crore, quite rightly, in this author's opinion. Both players will now be pleased to have been rewarded in the BCCI's contracts, and again, as demonstrated by Iyer's example, will surely be further incentivized to better balance the potential commitments of the IPL vs. IPL.</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/ipl-2025-can-csk-still-make-playoffs-after-crushing-nine-wickets-loss-to-mi/">IPL 2025: Can CSK still make Playoffs after crushing nine wickets loss to MI?</a></p><h3>2. Rishabh Pant Promoted to Grade A</h3><p>Due to Rishabh Pant’s continued success in all three formats of the game, he upgraded from a Grade B Contract to a Grade A Contract worth ₹ 5 crore in annual retainers. He now sits in category A with the likes of Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj. Pant’s aggressive batting and sharp glovework, especially after his remarkable recovery from a life-threatening car accident in 2022, have solidified his position as a key asset for India.</p><h3>3. Elite Players Remain in Grade A+ </h3><p>The upper echelon remains the same, Grade A+, as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja are all still in Grade A+ at ₹7 crore a year. Bumrah is the only player in this group that plays all three formats, as Sharma, Kohli, and Jadeja are on a retirement spree following India's T20 World Cup victory in 2024. But the fact that they are retained highlights their undeniable role in Indian cricket. </p><h3>4. Introduction of New Faces in Grade C</h3><p>The BCCI has included a few young talents in the central contracts, which included Dhruv Jurel, Varun Chakaravarthy, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Abhishek Sharma. All of these players have impressed in their domestic circuits and the IPL, so each of them has a central contract at Grade C (₹1 crore). I view this as an important step forward for the BCCI, for all of these players have obtained their first contracts with the national board, and it shows India is investing in its players as it seeks to fill the talent pool with a healthy crop of players for the future. </p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/mumbai-indians-playoff-chances-after-csk-win-all-you-need-to-know/">Mumbai Indians playoff chances after CSK win: All you need to know</a></p><h3>5. Discontinuation of Fast-Bowling Contracts and Questions on A+ Relevance:</h3><p>The BCCI has withdrawn its fast bowling contracts (not just Bumrah, but Akash Deep and Umran Malik, etc.), and Akash Deep is the only player in Grade C. There should be some concern over the depth of India's fast bowling stocks. Also, there is a discussion on the relevance of the A+ itself, with three of the four (Rohit, Kohli, Jadeja) no longer playing T20I's.</p><p>These talking points highlight the BCCI’s balance between rewarding established stars, reintegrating disciplined players, and investing in emerging talent while addressing structural questions about contract categories.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
