“No praise enough..”- Twitter reacts to Ollie Pope’s historic innings in Hyderabad Test

Ollie Pope has played an exceptional knock in the first Test between India and England which is being played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. The 26-year-old batter smashed 196 and missed out on a well-deserved double hundred. The Three Lions were all-out for 420 leading by 230 runs and now India needs to chase 231 runs to win the Test match.

Ollie Pope was out for just a run in the first innings as he was caught in slips off Ravindra Jadeja’s delivery. However, England’s vice-captain played some brilliant cricket in his second innings as he scored his fifth Test century and missed out on what could have been a great double hundred. He was involved in four 50+ partnerships in the innings and carried himself from no.3 to no.11 in the game.

England has set the target of 231 runs which will be very difficult for India to chase in the fourth innings. Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets and Jasprit Bumrah took four three wickets in the innings and have been good with the ball. Ollie Pope has frustrated the Indian bowling attack on this spin-friendly track with his spectacular innings.

Fans on Twitter have reacted to his innings calling Ollie Pope a high-quality player. Some fans are also comparing him to former England batter Ian Bell and the batter has shown some great potential in red-ball cricket. He has played 39 Test matches for England but has not made his debut in white-ball cricket. Pope is the vice-captain of the England Test cricket team and has played a responsible innings against India in a crunch situation.

In the 13th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) , the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) took on the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 31. Delhi Capitals won the toss and surprisingly elected to bat first in the match. They made two changes to their playing XI as Kuldeep Yadav, who had a niggle, and Ricky Bhui were replaced by Prithvi Shaw and Ishant Sharma. Chennai Super Kings, unsurprisingly, fielded an unchanged playing XI. Playing in his first match in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Prithvi Shaw set the stage on fire and gave a message to the DC team management. He played his natural attacking brand of cricket and was involved in a terrific partnership of 93 runs with veteran opening batsman David Warner. Shaw smashed 43 runs off 27 balls during his stay in the middle and David Warner slammed 52 runs off 25 balls. The DC openers wer...

The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai hosted the 14th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) between the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday, April 1. Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the toss and as expected elected to bowl first in the match. They made one notable change to their bowling unit as Sandeep Sharma, who was unfit, made the way for Nandre Burger in the playing XI. The decision to have a go with the ball turned out to be excellent for the visiting team as the star left-arm pacer Trent Boult made the Mumbai batters dance to his tunes. Trent Boult dismissed Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir for golden ducks on the 5th and 6th ball of the first over of the innings. MI were forced to bring in Dewald Brevis ahead of the second over as an impact player. Nandre Burger came to bowl the second over and he bowled some brilliant lines and lengths but wasn’t able to pick any wickets. Then, Trent Boult came again and dismissed Brevis ...
