‘Is this the end of my career?': Jos Buttler's honest confession after Vaibhav Suryavanshi's historic IPL hundred
"A 35-ball hundred from a 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the recently-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) made everyone stand up from their seats at the Sawai Mansingh stadium in Jaipur on the night of April 28. Not only the Rajasthan Royals created history but also etched his name into record books only to be remembered for lifetime. But what was going on Gujarat Titans' Jos Buttler's mind, who was just standing a yard behind, donning the big gloves? Like all of his Gujarat Titans teammates, Buttler too had no clue about what was happening as Suryavanshi dispatched almost every ball out of the park. 'Its inspiring and deflating at the same time,' Buttler told former England teammate Stuart Broad in a podcast. 'So this guy is 20 years younger than me and he's just smashing us l around the park,' added the Englishman, who used to don the Rajasthan Royals jersey in IPL 2024. Such destructive was Suryavanshi that the teenager struck India international Ishant Sharma for three big sixes an over which yeilded a massive 28 runs. He completed his century with a six off Rashid Khan. 'Our bowling attack consists of Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Rashid Khan…scale of the sixes, they were not just going over but they were big sixes. 35-ball hundred, it was outrageous. I think after he had hit five or six sixes, he is not scared of us. I was thinking, is this amazing or is this the end of my career?' added Buttler with a cheeky smile. Rewarded for his impressive show in the IPL, Suryavanshi earned a place in the Indian U-19 team for the multi-format tour of England. Scheduled from June 24 to July 23, the tour comprises a 50-over warm-up match, followed by a five-match Youth One-Day series and two Multi-Day matches against England U19. India U-19 updated squad against England: Ayush Mhatre (Captain), Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Vihaan Malhotra, Maulyarajsinh Chavda, Rahul Kumar, Abhigyan Kundu (Vice-Captain & WK), Harvansh Singh (WK), R. S. Ambrish, Kanishk Chouhan, Henil Patel, Yudhajit Guha, Pranav Raghavendra, Mohammed Enaan, Anmoljeet Singh, D. Deepesh, Naman Pushpak

With solid body of work in red-ball game, can Jurel make it to playing XI during England tour?
London [UK], June 18 (ANI): As discussions around India's playing eleven for the first Test against England at Leeds continue, with questions over the presence of Karun Nair, Sai Sudharsan in the playing XI, one name silently putting up work worthy of a spot in the teamsheet has been, Dhruv Jurel. Ever since his Test debut last year against England, Jurel has produced a solid body of work in first-class cricket and Test cricket alike, even though he displayed a completely different avatar for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as a finisher since his debut in 2023. Before he got his Test cap from Dinesh Karthik, Jurel produced a gem of a knock against South Africa A in Benoni, scoring 69 in 166 balls in a drawn match back in December 2023. During his debut series against England last year, Jurel was one of the youngsters alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan to make his mark as a batter, scoring 190 runs in four innings across three matches, at an average of 63.33. On his debut at Rajkot, he produced a solid 46 in 104 balls. The fourth Test at Ranchi displayed the steely, determined side of this player, the son of a Kargil war soldier. He produced a brilliant 76-run stand with Kuldeep Yadav and a steady 146-ball 90, with six fours and four sixes, as he made sure India was in the match. It was only fitting that he hit the winning runs, scoring 39* in a chase of 192, stitching a 72-run stand with Shubman Gill after India was reduced to 120/5. With this 'Player of the Match' performance, Jurel became one out of many 'crisis men' for India, awaiting a regular spot. Suddenly, he became a perfect option as a back-up for superstar Rishabh Pant, displaying the toughness, balance and stability which Pant at times lacked due to his free-flowing, attacking game. He followed this up with a solid 93 in 121 balls against Mumbai in Irani Cup, battling the likes of Mohit Avasthi, Tanush Kotian and Shardul Thakur. Match ended in a draw, with Mumbai winning on basis of first innings lead in October. Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Jurel produced fine knocks of 80 and 68 against Australia A at Melbourne in testing conditions, tackling Aussie domestic veterans and internationals Michael Nesser and Scott Boland with composure and assured strokeplay beyond his age. He failed in his sole senior outing at Perth, scoring 11 and 1, falling to Mitchell Marsh and skipper Pat Cummins. Nothing worth complaining though, as India secured a massive 295 runs win under Jasprit Bumrah's captaincy. During the IPL 2024, Jurel enjoyed his most prolific season, but could not finish matches owing to lack of support from other batters or simply, some fantastic bowling. His 333 runs in 13 innings at an average of 37.00, strike rate of 156.33 and two fifties was a massive improvement and a positive for him on individual front. After RR bowed out early from the tournament, Jurel took the flight to England as a part of India A squad. He took to English conditions like fish to water, scoring rapid half-centuries (94 and 53*) in the first unofficial Test. It was followed by an equally good performance of 52 and 28 in the second game. His last six innings for India A are: 375 runs in six innings, at an average of 75.00, with five half-centuries. All of these knocks have come in England and Australia, two of the toughest places to bat. At the time of writing, he averages 48.62 in first-class cricket, with 1,462 runs in 24 matches and 34 innings, including a century and 12 fifties. In red-ball cricket, he has batted in three extremely difficult nations to navigate, England, Australia and South Africa. He has had a fine record against England and a good understanding of the team, its playing style after his debut against them. Experience of local conditions? Ticked. With concerns over Rishabh Pant's form after a disastrous IPL and workload issues after his road accident in 2023, could Jurel find some game time as a keeper? As India aims to transition smoothly from the retirements of legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, could Jurel find his way as a specialist middle-order batter?? (ANI)

IND vs ENG: Harshit Rana to stay back in England with Team India for Test series
File image of Harshit Rana (TOI Photo) Mumbai: In a move which will reinforce India's pace attack, fast bowler Harshit Rana has been asked by the team management to stay back with the Indian Test team in England, a source confirmed to TOI. Rana was with the India 'A' team in England to play two four-day matches against the England Lions and an intra-squad game against the Test team in Beckenham. However, Rana has not been officially added to the squad as yet. One reason for this decision could be that the pitch for the first Test at Headingley, Leeds, bears a lush green look, which means that a bowler like Rana, who can generate pace and bounce, might prove to be handy in those conditions. Also, India's leading bowler, premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah is expected to not play all five Tests due to workload management. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Rana played the first match for India A against England Lions at Canterbury, where he returned figures of 1/99 in 27 overs and scored 16 runs. Kuldeep Yadav hints at spin-friendly wicket ahead of England Test series He made his Test debut during last year's tour of Australia where he took four wickets in two Tests at an average of 50.75, his best being three for 48 in Perth on debut. He wasn't picked for the five-match series against England as the selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, preferred Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna along with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. The other members of the India 'A' team who aren't in the main Test side or haven't landed a County deal yet will be on the flight back home on Tuesday. Overall, the Delhi pacer averages 27.79 with the ball in 13 first-class cricket games, having taken 48 wickets. He also averages 32.80 with the bat, including hitting a century and two fifties. The Delhi speedster broke into the Indian team after a splendid show for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024, when current India head coach Gautam Gambhir was the franchise's mentor.
