Necessity is the mother of ingenuity. The statement applies to all walks of life, including sports. The same was seen during a fun cricket match on a ship. The craze for cricket is huge and was seen in a game played on the deck of a ship. However, when one of the batters hit a high shot, the ball appeared to fall into the sea. But it didn’t. There was a simple but genius idea that kept the ball from falling into the sea. The men had tied the ball to a rope that made it easy for them to recover.

Speaking of cricket, after the 2022 T20 World Cup where India failed to progress beyond the semi-finals, there have been discussions on whether to introduce new blood and new ideas into the T20I team. Many reports suggested that Hardik Pandya is getting regular opportunities as captain of Indian T20I, after the World Cup, is an indication in that direction. As discussions continue on that front, former India coach Ravi Shastri has suggested that it is time to give youngsters a chance in the T20I squad. In a discussion on ESPNCricinfo, one of the panelists asked, “Shubman Gill, Yashasvi jaiswal, Hardik Pandya at No. 3, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Jitesh Sharma, whole new team from the past, will they make it to the top 6?”
To which Shastri replied, “Absolutely, if they have to think in that sense, they should be bleeding them now. Players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, they are proven. But I would go in that direction so that they get the opportunities and exposure, while keeping the Virats and the Rohits fresh for a day of cricket and Test cricket your focus there with that kind of experience should go to Test cricket red ball cricket for the future World Test Championship it’s exactly very similar to where Sachin , Rahul and Sourav were, and Laxman.”
