Indian skipper <keyword id="2290614" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="harmanpreet" source="Orion">Harmanpreet</keyword> Kaur has been named the captain of the ICC Women's ODI Team of the year for 2022 that also include her teammates, opener Smriti Mandhana and fast bowler <keyword id="977537" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="renuka-singh" source="Orion">Renuka Singh</keyword>, the International Cricket Council said on Tuesday. Other players in the ICC Women's T20I team of the year 2022 are - Alyssa Healy (Australia), <keyword id="4719641" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="laura-wolvaardt" source="Orion">Laura Wolvaardt</keyword> (South Africa), <keyword id="8845675" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="nat-sciver" source="Orion">Nat Sciver</keyword> (<keyword id="6355981" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="england" source="Orion">England</keyword>), Beth Mooney (Australia), Amelia Kerr (New Zealand), Sophie Ecclestone (England), Ayabonga Khaka (South Africa), Shabnim Ismail (South Africa). Mandhana added some consistency to her game during 2022 as she helped herself to a century and six half-centuries for the calendar year. She scored a magnificent 123 against the West Indies at the World Cup in New Zealand, but it was perhaps later on in the year in England where the 26-year-old flourished. Mandhana hit an excellent 91 against England in Hove in September and then followed that up with innings of 40 and 50 to finish off the year in style. The experienced all-rounder Harmanpreet remains one of the most consistent performers in world cricket. She hit two centuries and five half-centuries during the calendar year, with her unbeaten 143 against England in September. The 33-year-old also chipped in with five valuable wickets with her more than decent off-spin. Renuka secured her debut against New Zealand at the start of 2022, but couldn't break into the strong India XI during an unsuccessful 50-over World Cup campaign. Excellent performances at the T20I level then saw the right-armer earn another chance in ODI cricket and finished the year as one of the form seamers in women's cricket. She collected a total of 18 wickets from just seven matches in 2022, with her best performance of 4/28 coming against Sri Lanka in Pallekele in the middle of the year. The pacer then finished the year in style with consecutive four-wicket hauls against England in September.

Harmanpreet named captain of the ICC Women's ODI Team of the Year

<keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India" source="keywords">India</keyword> on Tuesday named a tried and tested squad for the <keyword id="21536718" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Womens-T20-World-Cup" source="keywords">Women's T20 World Cup</keyword> under the leadership of <keyword id="19939186" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Harmanpreet-Kaur" source="keywords">Harmanpreet Kaur</keyword>, hoping the experienced bunch takes the team to an elusive ICC trophy. Barring Uma Chetry, all the squad members who were part of an unsuccessful Asia Cup campaign in July have been retained for the marquee event beginning in the UAE from October 3. The competition was shifted to the UAE from Bangladesh following unrest in the South Asian nation owing to a students' protest. Spin all-rounder Shreyanka Patil and top-order batter Yastika Bhatia have been included in the squad subject to fitness. Shreyanka had fractured her finger during the Asia Cup game against Pakistan while Bhatia is recovering from a knee injury. Following the loss to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final, Kaur will be under pressure to lead her team to the coveted title. The men were finally to able get the monkey off their back and win an ICC title after an 11 year gap back in June. The women, who too have all the resources at their disposal, would be expected to cross the finishing line on this occasion. Kaur first captained the team in the 2018 edition and since then India have reached one final but it has largely been a story of missed opportunities. Their biggest challenge will be to beat Australia as usual. Both teams are in the same group which also includes Pakistan and Sri Lanka. On expected lines, the squad is loaded with spinners including Deepti Sharma, Asha Sobhana and Radha Yadav. The two specialist pacers are Renuka Singh and Arundhati Reddy while Pooja Vastrakar is the sole fast bowling all-rounder. Titas Sadhu is a notable name missing in the pace department. "Given the players we have it's a good squad. Hope Yastika and Sheyanka get fit," former India captain Diana Edulji told PTI. Star batter Smriti Mandhana has been named Kaur's deputy and like always will be the key at the top of the order. Besides the thin fast bowling resources, India are also not a side full of power-hitters. Kaur and Richa Ghosh will be responsible for producing the big hits in the middle overs phase of the game. India will open their campaign against New Zealand on October 4.

Harmanpreet to lead tried and tested bunch at T20 World Cup as India look to end title drought

Indian <keyword id="20930968" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="womens-team" source="keywords">women's team</keyword> will be eager to use the three-match <keyword id="19929031" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="T20I-series" source="keywords">T20I series</keyword> against <keyword id="19899437" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="South-Africa" source="keywords">South Africa</keyword>, beginning here from Friday, as a testbed to finetune its strategies before hitting the road to the <keyword id="20459801" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Asia-Cup" source="keywords">Asia Cup</keyword> and the T20 World Cup. In fact, this is <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India" source="keywords">India</keyword>'s last white ball bilateral series ahead of the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka from July 19 and the ICC showpiece in Bangladesh from October 4. In that context, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will leave no stone unturned in their effort to embark for those big events in the best possible frame of mind. They have displayed signs of it too in the preceding three-match <keyword id="19903835" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="odi" source="keywords">ODI</keyword> series in Bengaluru and in the one-off Test here. The relentless India have won all those assignments despite the Proteas creating pockets of fight. Since 2023, India have featured in seven T20I series, winning three of them and losing four. They would certainly want to bridge that gap, however narrow it might be. India will take consolation from the form of their players in the first two legs of this series. In the ODIs, vice-captain and star batter <keyword id="19918734" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="smriti-mandhana" source="keywords">Smriti Mandhana</keyword> shone brightly with two hundreds and a fifty in three matches, while Harmanpreet found her feet with a hundred in the final ODI. The only jarring note of that triumphant run might have been the shoddy form of opener Shafali Verma but she allayed the concerns with a fiery double hundred, the quickest in women's cricket, in the one-off Test here. Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh too have shown sparks of regaining their touch, and these batters occupy the first five places in India's run-makers' list in the shortest format. So, the team management will eye a flawless outing from this quintet against South Africa, who are coming off a less than satisfactory outing against the Lankans at home in the T20Is. India's bowling too looks very strong on paper, as pacers Renuka Singh, Pooja Vastrakar and Arundhati Reddy have been on the money, while spinners Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, Asha Shobana and Shreyanka Patil present a formidable force. From a South African perspective, they will depend heavily on skipper Laura Wolvaardt for runs up the order and early momentum. Wolvaardt showed her prolific side slamming a century each in the ODIs and in the one-off Test. The opener's form will be a crucial factor if SA want to win a T20I series since January last year when they prevailed in a home tri-series also involving India and the West Indies. "We have played a lot of good cricket in patches, but to narrow it down, we have to be more consistent," all-rounder Chloe Tryon had mentioned in the pre-match press meet. But the tourists can't lean on Wolvaardt alone as they need runs from Marizanne Kapp, Sune Luus, Anneke Bosch and Tazmin Brits. Nonkululeko Mlaba and Masabata Klaas, Nadine de Klerk and Ayabonga Khaka will have to be at their absolute best against this Indian batting line-up. The Proteas will also hope that they can get a few overs from the experienced Kapp, who has not bowled in the series so far as she is recovering from an injury. Although the MA Chidambaram pitch generally remains on the sluggish side, it was a smoother one in the one-off Test. So, the teams will be keeping an eye on its nature too ahead of this series.

Bharatiya Janata Party has released the list of eleven candidates who will field from the different Lok Sabha constituencies of the state of Chhattisgarh. In 2014 general elections for the parliament, BJP won from all the constituencies of the state thereby bagging a phenomenal victory from the state. Vishnu Deo Sai won from the seat of Raigarh and subsequently became the Union Minister of State for Steel and Mines. This time, Gomti Sai replaces Vishnu Deo Sai as the party leadership has nominated him from this constituency. Gomti Sai will lock horns with the Congress candidate Laljeet Singh Rathia. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup></colgroup></colgroup><tbody><tr><td

The state of Chhattisgarh has 11 <keyword id="6355187" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="lok-sabha">Lok Sabha</keyword> constituencies in total. The number of assembly constituencies here are 90. Following its thumping victory from the state, the BJP holds 10 out of 11 seats leaving only one constituency namely Durg for the Congress party. During the 2018 assembly elections, the BJP suffered a serious setback in the state as the Congress party knocked off the ruling party and won a phenomenal number of 68 out of 90 states in Chhattisgarh. Raman Singh, the former chief minister and BJP leader assume personal responsibility for the defeat and submitted his resignation. In the Lok Sabha elections 2019, the ruling party of India is now left to ride on the feat it suffered during last year. In the Durg constituency, BJP’s Vijay Bhagel contested with Smt. Pratima Chandrakar of the Congress party. In the Bastar seat, Baiduram Kashyap locked horns with Deepak Baij of Congress. CPI has nominated Ramu Ram Mourya and BSP has listed Aaytu Ram Mandavi from this parliamentary seat all waiting to look at the 2019 Lok Sabha elections results eagerly.
