Newbie To Tycoon

This story is of Vivacious who was so passionate of sports that he crossed all the boundaries for it. Vivacious undoubtedly played cricket and other sport and was an athlete from his school days. Vivacious fell in love with Cricket when he was 8 years old and slowly understood the game and it’s terminologies.

Vivacious was so famous in school & class as his analysis were top notch somewhat similar to the great Harsha Bhogle. There was hardly any match which Vivacious missed even during his exams so was his dedication and passion for the prestigious sport.

In the college phase, Vivacious got to know that he will have to work hard to make a name for himself. He started his own YouTube channel and blog and was consistent in creating the content and publishing it. Slowly, Vivacious got used to camera and at the same time the write up was also improving.

Vivacious though wasn’t that happy as he wanted to try new things and was aiming to reach new heights. After the grueling IPL 2023, Vivacious took a bold step and started his own firm of cricket.

Vivacious’ firm got bigger and he also got decent views which was optimum in generating firm. During IPL 2023, he worked for Red FM 93.5 as a Cricket Analyst which proved to be the lightning spark as he rediscovered his mojo because his You Tube channel was inactive for quite some time.

A reputed talent scout organization contacted Vivacious for working along with them.

Vivacious may be 24 years of age and may have reached the Zenith level but there is a lot to attain for him. Vivacious has become a Tycoon, this is the real story of the author who is known other than Varad Vaichal.

India’s Most Likely Spinners for ICC T20 World Cup 2022

India had a forgettable ICC T20 World Cup 2021 where they were out of the tournament in the 1st round itself. The T20 World Cup was held in UAE and it was expected that the spinners would benefit from turning backs. India’s spin contingent for the T20 World Cup was as follows:

  • Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Rahul Chahar & Varun Chakravarthy

It was expected that the experienced spin duo of Ashwin & Jadeja would keep India in good stead while the mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy would trouble the batters but it didn’t pan out as expected. All in all, India’s spinners failed significantly as none of them helped India to stamp their authority.

  • So far, the road to T20 World Cup 2022

Following India’s poor performance in the marquee tournament, BCCI took a bold step by naming Rohit Sharma as the Captain & Rahul Dravid as the Head Coach. India so far has white-washed New Zealand, West Indies & Sri Lanka. In all these 3 Series it can be said that India found its missing zeal as now India is on 12 Match Winning Streak. India now would have a break due to the Tata IPL 2022 while the next assignment is scheduled in June against South Africa where India will play 5 T20I Matches.

  • Spin Department for T20 World Cup 2022

As we all know that the T20 World Cup 2022 is going to be held in Australia. In Australia, usually the spinners aren’t that much effective apart from a couple of pitches like Sydney and rarely others. India’s selectors should keep one thing in mind that instead of sending 5 spinners like of 2021 T20 World Cup, they should send only 4 spinners and send one spectacular all-rounder.

  • Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin is one of the most effective & senior spinners. Ashwin wasn’t a part of playing 11 in T20 World Cup 2021 for the matches against Pakistan & New Zealand. His absence made a big impact as the batters of Pakistan & New Zealand toyed with India’s mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy. Ashwin’s experience of playing an ICC Tournament in Australia would be handy as in 2015 he was a part of the squad which made it to the Semi Finals. The crafty off spinner knows how to tackle risky situations, he is a spinner who won’t be afraid to toss a ball after getting hit for a monstrous six. Having him in the squad is must if he wants to make better progress.

  • Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja alike Ashwin is one of the senior spinners. Jadeja did his best against the likes of Pakistan & New Zealand, but he didn’t get ample support from the rest of the spinners. Jadeja has one specialty & peculiarity which is he finishes his overs quite quickly & not to forget he is an acrobatic fielder. In Australia’s long boundaries Rohit Sharma, the skipper would need a pin point fielder at Point & at boundaries. Jadeja gives the captain an option of playing an extra fast bowler as he can fill the place of a batter too. Jadeja should be a sure shot pick for the T20 World Cup 2022. His presence is a kind of fear factor for the opponent team.

  • Kuldeep Yadav

The left arm-chinaman can be a dangerous asset to have. His wrist-spin & his chinaman bowling would be a treat to watch in SCG where the ball turns immensely. Kuldeep has been blatantly ignored by the selectors in the last 2 years. Kuldeep should be selected on his caliber of producing unplayable & not on merit as on his day he can be as destructive as ever. Kuldeep may be expensive but he can pick a wicket of a big fish.

  • Yuzvendra Chahal

The right arm leg spinner is a lethal bowler. His shrewdness can be a defining factor in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022. He would be disappointed as he missed the cut for the T20 Worl Cup 2021 as the Chetan Sharma led panel ignored him by saying that the team needs a spinner who can bowl fast. Rahul Chahar was picked in his place. Chahal knows that his job is not only to contain runs but pickup wickets that too as a partnership breaker bowler. The smart leg spinner is a must if India wants to put a strong case in the World Cup.

Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav & Yuzvendra Chahal should be the 4 spinners for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. India should go in with the duo of Ashwin & Jadeja for the league matches at the Tournament. BCCI’s Selection Panel should make sure that this time the selection doesn’t go wrong as a new era has started under the leadership of Rohit Sharma & Rahul Dravid

India is set to play 5 League matches in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 which are as follows:

  •  India vs Pakistan at Melbourne on 23rd October
  • India vs Qualifier A2 at Sydney on 27th October
  • India vs South Africa at Perth on 30th October
  • India vs Bangladesh at Adelaide on 02nd November
  • India vs Qualifier B1 at Melbourne on 06th November

This 5 Matches will eventually decide the fate of a billion fans. India should not forget that couple of bad matches aren’t a reason to weep just like the 2021 T20 World Cup. India should keep their heads high as this time they are placed in a less precarious group.
