It fits geopolitics between newer India and Pakistan in general. While the Indian government has already taken issue with the trip of national cricket team to Pakistan, it is not clear whether India's government either directly blocked the Indian players from visiting or it is also because the official events are cancelled hich syncs well with current political climate.

IND vs ENG Match Preview

England has been effective in troubling the visitors with the ball. The visitors took eight wickets in the second T20I while defending 166 runs in Chennai. They finally gained the upper hand when they defended 171 runs in Rajkot and defeated India by 26 runs. In the middle of the over, Adil Rashid performed a right-arm leg break that was magical. Suryakumar Yadav and his colleagues have some thinking to do. They were also facing a loss in Chennai. If it hadn't been for Tilak Verma's unbroken 72 off 55 balls, England might have been level much sooner.

IND vs ENG Probable Winners:

England may have looked dangerous with the ball in their last two games. However, they have not received responses right away. India has a plethora of dependable batters who can compensate for the lack of form of a few of their key players. Overall, India has a clear advantage in this contest and will begin as the favorites according to our match prediction. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.

Its been really a poor show by India in 3rd T20 which held in Rajkot. India Played brilliantly in their first 2 T20s, but the third one was quite mixed one. India won the toss and elected to bowl first. India bowled brilliantly till their 16 over then Livingston took the charge and gave a comfortable score of 179. In reply Indian openers crumbled at the start though good batting by Hardik Pandaya still India couldn't chase the target and lost by 26 runs.

Top Reasons For India's Loss

India lost the match due to their slow approch in the second innings of the game where they lacked in chase despite being in the game till 15th over. 

England Good Batting At The End

India displayed a good bowling show where they removed Philp Salt in the second over itself. But Duckett went on going, though England lost wickets in regular intervals. Duckett went on to score a brilliant fifty. But after that every player crumbled. It was at the end where Liam Livingston came for rescue scoring 43 of 24 balls. England took charge after 16th over, where they put on to make a good score of 171.

Poor Bowling Display By India

Mohammad Shami was back after a long interval of injury break. Indian bowlers displayed a good show till 15th over but after that they strugged to find their line and length, they started to leak runs at the end which led England to put up a good score of 171.

India Poor Performance With Bat

 India went on to chase the target of 171 but it seemed they have lack in approch. Where India lost Sanju early who tried to apply pull shot but didn't get connected. The pace of the ball deceived him. Every batsman tried to imply the shot on the slowy pitch and got out cheaply. Hardik tried his best to get the command but couldn't hold on. Captain Surya poor form, Tilak getting out on spin which get back in to the stumps. Till 15th over India had the hope of chase but lack of intent at the later stages costed the match for India. 

Poor Intent

It was clearly visible that India were in lack of intent throught the game. At first innings they were unable to bowled out England despite having a good start. In the second innings same thing happened where started the innings poorly and later on they builded up but the intent was too conjusty, As everyone was trying to hit hard rather than understanding the nature of pitch. 

Misunderstanding The Aggressive Approach

Its ok to show the aggressive approach in a t20 game it is meant for it. But sometime you have to understand the nature of the game and how the game progress. At first innings India took out early  six wickets but after that they didn't went for the kill allowed England to score a decent total. In the second innings batsman were trying to hit the ball hard rather than understanding what the pitch is offering. England bowlers were consistent with their hard length deleviries making hard for the Indian batting. Which was later pointed out by the captain Surya Kumar Yadav. 

Ongoing series between India and England is at its verge, where now its important for England to win a game here or either they will lose the T20 series.The 3rdT20 international match between India and England to be played in Rajkot. Already England had lost two matches at Kolkata and in Chennai. So the match at Rajkot becomes a decider for them. India's form has been great in this series where every player contributing on his behalf. Specifically the bowlers had bowled crucial role. Both team have the disection in batting because both side team batters unable to capatilise their moment. 

Will England Give A Fight Back

 England being a power packed side are on verge of losing the series. Despite captain Butler heroics none other players have stepped into the party. Though England bowling department doing a fair job but the lack of support from the batting unit hurts England very badly.

On going series between India and England, Indian batters have two half centuries which equipped two different styles. At first T20 it was Abhishek Sharma whose power hitting just blown away England. In the second T20 it was completely contrast from young Tilak Varma who paced his innings slowly while the other end wickets were kept on felling. But Tilak Varma kept his cool on and rescued India from the verge of defeat by his well made 72 runs. 

What Third T20 Offers

The 3rd T20 international match between India and England commutes at Rajkot which is always considered as high scoring venue. Last time India played against Sri Lanka they posted the mamoth total of 228 runs with the loss of five wickets. Rajkot always precceds for chasers, The team which chases has the highest percentage of winning the match.

There might be certain changes that could be seen in third T20. Shivam Dube and Ramandeep Singh have been called to join the Indian team squard. Dhruv Jurel and Washington Sundar, who played in the previous game, are likely to be persisted with. India may leave out Ravi Bishnoi and bring in a quick if they want to strengthen their pace department. Whereas there are concerns too in England team Harry Brook has fallen twice to wrong'uns in this series, struggling particularly against Varun Chakravarthy, and India will aim to capitalise on that weakness again. Arshdeep will also seek this moment to add more wickets in his tally list. Being a highest wicket taker for India in T20s

The Heartfelt  Hangover to Gems of Coldplay at Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad, an Instance to unite Music and Cricket Electric atmosphere during Coldplay set up at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Jan 25 & 26 , home of the world's biggest cricket stadium and surrounded by sea of music fans, was hosting thousands of music lovers an unexpected however memorable moment occurred the love of music married Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah.

A WORLD CELEBRATION OF TALENT!
Coldplay (for their massive anthems and radiant live shows) came not only to India but they gained Indian pulse. Chris Martin (the lead singer of the band) paused his performance for a moment in order to give Bumrah the high fives as he is considered one of the best fast bowlers right now in the cricket world.Martin, in the blink of an eye said to crowd, “We have heard Jasprit Bumrah backstage wants to bowl so many yorkers at us Can we do it?” The crowd roared at its deafening volume, about how much the Indian cricket community loves Bumrah.

Journey into the world of Popular Culture
The Power of Pop Culture
The power of Bumrah, he makes all things seem less about cricket in popular culture. Right now, he is synonymous with accuracy, class under pressure and feels like that No 8 mantra he has become synonymous with in World cricket circle.He has had a wide influence, not just within sports but also outside of it into popular culture.To have Coldplay name drop him during their concert in such a public & happy way is without a doubt a formality of how global sign images pay tribute to merit, unifier or not. It was, in fact a celebration of excellence and I thought it underscored Chris Martin's sentiment of "there but for the grace of God /there go I" on the talent, whether it be within different fields such as sports or music.

IND vs ENG Match Preview

The season's opener at Eden Gardens and Chepauk Stadium was expected to be a close game that set the tone for the rest of the series, but it couldn't have been more different on Friday evening, with India smashing England with both bat and ball. In fact, India crossing the line with 43 balls remaining set an unfavorable record for England in this format! As always, the BazBall England strategy is to shrug off any setback by reaffirming their commitment to using an attacking approach in any format of cricket, which could lead to an exciting second match of the series.

As Indian cricket gears up for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, all eyes are on Jasprit Bumrah and his recovery from a recent back injury. The star pacer has been a crucial part of India's bowling attack, and his availability for the tournament is a big concern for both fans and team management. Here’s a detailed look at his injury, rehabilitation process, and what lies ahead.

The Injury – What Happened?

Bumrah suffered a back spasm during the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney earlier this month. While he managed to bowl earlier in the match, he was unable to do so on the final day due to discomfort. This immediately raised concerns, given his past struggles with back injuries.

After undergoing scans, the good news was that no stress fracture was found. However, medical experts confirmed that the pain was caused by excessive workload. Bumrah had bowled a staggering 151.2 overs in nine innings, taking 32 wickets at an astonishing average of 13.06. The heavy workload seemed to have taken a toll on his body, leading to the current situation.

How Important is Bumrah for India?

There’s no doubt that Bumrah’s presence is critical to India’s chances in the Champions Trophy 2025. His ability to bowl deadly yorkers, maintain tight economy rates, and strike in crucial moments makes him one of the best fast bowlers in the world.

If Bumrah does not recover in time, India’s pace attack will have to rely heavily on Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami, while all-rounders like Hardik Pandya may have to step up.

Final Decision & What’s Next?

The BCCI and the Indian team management will make the final call on Bumrah’s participation by mid-February, depending on his medical reports and fitness tests. Until then, Indian fans will be hoping for his speedy recovery, as his presence could be a game-changer in India's Champions Trophy campaign.

Stay tuned for further updates as we wait to see if India’s pace spearhead can make a strong comeback just in time for the big tournament.

Mohammed Siraj, who plays cricket for India, and Zanai Bhosle, who is the granddaughter of the unfathomably famous singer Asha Bhosle, are getting a lot of attention on the internet because of a picture. Zanai put up a photo on her Instagram when she turned 23 in Mumbai, and it was from her birthday. The picture shows Mohammed and Zanai close together, and now everyone is trying to figure out if they may potentially especially like each other.

In Mumbai, at Bandra, there was a major birthday party. Several famous people came, including the singer Asha Bhosle, the movie star Jackie Shroff, and cricket players Shreyas Iyer, Siddhesh Lad, and Suyash Prabhudessai. A girl Zanai put a large amount of pictures online, and one of them showed her speaking enjoyably with Siraj.

People saw them and typed so many comments. They were trying to guess if they were possibly special to each other. Siraj and Zanai Bhosle haven't said if the dating rumors are true. But Siraj never really discusses his personal things in public. He doesn't say things about guesses such as that.

Zanai Bhosle is getting ready to be in her first movie about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Mohammed Siraj is very well-known in Indian cricket. Everyone is discussing a picture of them that became famous on the internet. But we don't know definitively if they're more than only buddies because they haven't told

 us anything yet.
