Bengaluru, Nov 7 : India’s 360-degree batsman Suryakumar Yadav said he perfected his trademark scoop shot while playing rubber-ball cricket.
“You got to understand what the bowler is going to bowl at that time, which is a little pre-determined at that moment. I practiced that stroke a lot when I used to play rubber-ball cricket. So, you got to be thinking what the bowler is thinking at that time and if the field is in, I just back myself to go there,” he told Star Sports’ show ‘Follow the Blues.’
To play scoop shots, it is also necessary to know the distance of the boundary behind the batsman and play it according to the pace of the ball, Suryakumar said.
“You got to know how long the boundary behind is. When I stand there, I feel it’s just 60-65 meters and with the pace of the ball I just try and time it, take it on the sweet spot of the bat and if it hits, it just goes out there,” he said.
Suryakumar has been one of India’s star performers in this ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. His performances in recent games has led him to gain the No. 1 spot in the ICC Men’s T20I rankings.
He has also scored the most number of runs overall in T20Is for the year 2022. A truly 360-degree player, Suryakumar’s form is going to be crucial if India want to win the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
One of the highlights of India’s game against Australia was Suryakumar’s unorthodox stroke where he dispatched the ball over the boundary with a scoop shot, gaining him plaudits from Sunil Gavaskar who was on commentary at the time.
Suryakumar also spoke about how he handles pressure situations in matches and how he tries to score runs all around the ground.
“When I go into bat, I just try and look for a few boundaries or even if I don’t get that, I just try and run as hard as possible between wickets. If you have to bat with Virat bhai then you have to run hard as well. But I try to do that, hit it in the gaps and run hard.
“But I know what strokes I need to play at that time. I try to play a lot of percentage cricket. My strokes are sweeps, over cover, and cuts, if I am succeeding in that, I just take the game ahead from there.”
Dubai, Oct 26 : India star Virat Kohli has been rewarded for his heroics against Pakistan at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup on the latest ICC Men’s Player Rankings, while a new contender has emerged for the No.1 spot on the list for batters.
Kohli smashed an unbeaten 82 to guide his side to a memorable final-ball victory over Pakistan in Melbourne on Sunday and that knock has catapulted the former India captain back inside the top 10 for batters.
The 33-year-old hit six fours and four giant sixes during his glorious 53-ball stay at the MCG and duly moved up five spots to ninth on the latest set of player rankings that were released by the ICC on Wednesday.
Pakistan veteran Mohammad Rizwan remains on top of the batter list, but there is a new challenger to the title as New Zealand opener Devon Conway rises three places to second following his unbeaten 92 against Australia at the T20 World Cup.
Conway flayed the Australian attack to all parts of the SCG during his 58-ball innings as he and Finn Allen (42 off 16) combined to put the reigning T20 World Cup champions to the sword in the first match of the Super 12s on Saturday.
The innings sees Conway jump past India’s Suryakumar Yadav, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam and South Africa veteran Aiden Markram and within striking distance to challenge Rizwan for top billing
at a career high rating of 831 rating points.
Allen too is on the move, with his swashbuckling knock against the Aussies helping him improve a whopping 17 places to equal 13th overall on the list for batters.
London, Oct 18 :”The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida” by Sri Lankan Shehan Karunatilaka, a supernatural satire set amid a murderous civil war in the island nation, has won the Booker Prize.
The novel is about a photographer who wakes up dead, with a week to ask his friends to find his photos and expose the brutality of war, BBC and other media reported.
Camilla, the Queen Consort, presented the prize, and the author said it had been “an honour and a privilege” to be on the shortlist.
Karunatilaka said as he accepted his prize: “My hope is that in the not too distant future… Sri Lanka has understood that these ideas of corruption and race-baiting and cronyism have not worked and will never work.”
The writer said he decided in 2009 to write “a ghost story where the dead could offer their perspective” after the end of the Sri Lankan civil war, “when there was a raging debate over how many civilians died and whose fault it was”.
“I hope it’s in print in 10 years… if it is, I hope it’s written in a Sri Lanka that learns from its stories, and that Seven Moons will be in the fantasy section of the bookshop, next to the dragons, the unicorns and will not be mistaken for realism or political satire,” the BBC reported
He added that he had “self-censored” a couple of short stories after author Salman Rushdie was stabbed in August, having faced years of death threats for his novel “The Satanic Verses”, which some Muslims see as blasphemous.
“I was in the process of publishing a collection of short stories when this incident happened, and I discovered a couple which I don’t think was offensive to any religion,” Karunatilaka said.
“But my wife said, can you not do that? You’ve got two young kids. This story is not that good. Just leave it out.”
He added that “this is something that hangs over all of us if we’re writing in South Asia, especially writing about politics or religion”, the BBC said.
Head judge Neil MacGregor praised the “scope and the skill, the daring, the audacity and hilarity” of the novel, calling it an “afterlife noir” which “takes the reader on a rollercoaster journey through life and death”.
He said the judges’ decision had been unanimous, adding all of the shortlisted books were “all really about one question, and that is what’s the point of an individual life?”
The prestigious £50,000 prize, for a single work of fiction published in the UK in English, also gives the other five writers on the shortlist £2,500 each.
“The Seven Moons of Maali” is Karunatilaka’s second novel, having previously won awards including the Commonwealth Book Prize for his debut book Chinaman, which was called the “second best cricket book of all time” by cricketers’ almanac Wisden.
Born in 1975, the writer has also worked as an advertising copywriter, and his songs, scripts and stories have been published in Rolling Stone, GQ and National Geographic.
MacGregor, a former director of London’s National Gallery and the British Museum, added that the judges read all 170 books put forward for the prize, then whittled them down to 30. They then re-read those, before deciding on the final six, which they read for a third time, the report said.
The other nominees were: “Glory” by NoViolet Bulawayo, “The Trees” by Percival Everett, “Treacle Walker” by Alan Garner, “Small Things Like These” by Claire Keegan and “Oh William!” by Elizabeth Strout.
The Booker-winning novel tells the story of the photographer of its title, who in 1990 wakes up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. With no idea who killed him, Maali has seven moons to contact the people he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos of civil war atrocities that will rock Sri Lanka, the Daily Mirror reported.
The judges were unanimous in their decision to award the prize to Karunatilaka, according to the chair.
Receiving his prize, Karunatilaka addressed the people of Sri Lanka in Tamil and Sinhalese. He summarised what he said in English: “I write these books for you… Let’s keep sharing these stories.”
The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is published by the independent press Sort of Books. This year is the first time a book by the publisher has been longlisted for the prize.
Karunatilaka has become the second Sri Lankan-born author to win, following Michael Ondaatje, who won in 1992 with “The English Patient”.
In his Guardian review, Tomiwa Owolade said the book’s “scenarios are often absurd … but executed with a humour and pathos that ground the reader”. He added: “Karunatilaka has done artistic justice to a terrible period in his country’s history.”
Karunatilaka, was born in Galle, Sri Lanka, in 1975 and grew up in Colombo.
