Looking up India’s squad news
So yesterday my cricket buddy Ramesh calls and asks, “Hey, you seen who made India’s squad for Bangladesh tour?” I hadn’t checked yet so I figured why not dig around and share what I find.
First thing, I grabbed my phone and searched latest cricket news. Scrolled through headlines for like 15 minutes. Found three sites talking about squad announcements – all had slightly different details though. Kept cross-checking names until stuff matched up.
Finally got the confirmed list and sorted players into two groups mentally:
-
Usual suspects
- Rohit Sharma (captain obviously)
- Virat Kohli – no surprises there
- Jasprit Bumrah – back after injury break
- Ravindra Jadeja – automatic pick
-
New faces
- That Rinku Singh guy – saw his crazy hitting last month
- Tilak Varma? Seriously? Kid’s barely played internationals!
- Sarfaraz Khan finally gets call-up – dude’s been scoring tons in domestic for ages
Got super confused when I saw Dhawan’s name missing. Checked three times – nope, not in any format. Also Jadeja’s comeback story made me laugh – dude literally limped off field last season and now he’s bowling 10 overs straight.
Showed it to Ramesh later at chai shop. He nearly spat out his tea seeing Hardik Pandya as T20 captain. “That shoulder’s made of glass!” he shouts. Anyway, this squad’s got more twists than daily soap opera. Let’s see if youngsters survive Bangladesh’s spin attack!
