Fantasy Cricket – Highest Totals at Sharjah Cricket Stadium

One of the factors in selecting a dream team in online fantasy cricket is the pitch condition. During the 1980s and 1990s, Sharjah was the regular stadium to arrange international cricket matches. It was the period when Sharjah stadium roared into life with all the international team playing matches there.

After 2001, the stadium’s influence declined because of the controversies. And because BCCI decided not to let Indian team play in the ground for their rivalry with Pakistan. Now, again fantasy cricket league teams are heading to that ground and matches are being held. Soon Sharjah is going to regain its declined glory.

Let’s talk about the records created at this ground. Take a look at the highest totals at Sharjah Cricket Stadium and keep playing daily fantasy cricket games at 11Wickets App.

Before the Robin-round match against Windies Team, Kohli was short of just 37 runs to reach the milestone. He took 36 innings less than Brian Lara and Tendulkar, both of whom took 453 innings to reach the mark.

Highest rating for any Indian batsman in ICC ranking

As if finishing as the highest run-scorer in the three-match series against the New Zealand team in 2017, Kohli claimed best career rating points by any Indian batsman. He also reached the top spot in ODI rankings. With 889 points, he crossed Sachin’s record, which he achieved in 1997. Kohli had scored 263 runs in the three-match ODI series which included two centuries.

Fantasy Cricket – We All Love Suresh Raina

The left-hand batsman, Suresh Raina, has played 226 ODIs, 78 T20Is and 18 Test matches for India scoring 7,988 runs, seven centuries and 48 half-centuries. Additionally, he is the top-rated run-getter of Indian T20 fantasy cricket league games and has won three T20 league trophies with Chennai team.

An online fantasy cricket team can do very well if it picks Raina and he is in his performance.

Let’s take a look why would we prefer him in fantasy cricket India team of 11wickets.com . Read on:

Kashmiri roots

Suresh Raina’s father Trilok Chand comes from Rainawari in Jammu and Kashmir. His mother, is right from Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh. Nevertheless, his family settled down in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Raina is one of five siblings while he has three elder brothers named, Dinesh, Mukesh and Naresh. He has one sister named Renu.

The UP sports hostel setup

Being a teenager, Raina needed to leave Ghaziabad and go on to Lucknow, the capital city of Uttar Pradesh, to enlist at one of the state’s sports hostels. From moving there in 1999, Raina labored his way up the age groups. As per the rules, he was permitted to keep his room in the hostel for about seven years. It had been only in 2006, when he was already an India player, that Raina emptied out it.

At 16, an India Under-19 debut

Raina was 16 when he was initially picked to represent India Under-19s on a tour to England. In the first match, he secured 72 runs in an informal four-day ‘Test’ for a team led by Manvinder Bisla and presenting Ambati Rayudu and Irfan Pathan, his future India teammates. Tim Bresnan was a leading face in that England team.

A duck on India debut

Referred to the senior Indian team at the age of 18 following his achievement in domestic cricket and for representing Indian sides, Raina’s international debut was not a day to recollect. Against Sri Lanka at Dambulla on July 30, 2005, the left-hand batsman was out at very first ball by the one and only Muttiah Muralitharan. Bagging a duck on ODI debut put him together with Sachin Tendulkar and Shikhar Dhawan.

The IPL superstar

Raina has really been the ruler of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Contracted with the Chennai Super Kings ever since the beginning of the league – with the exception two seasons with Gujarat Lions when the franchis was revoked – Raina has been a T20 giant. He is CSK’s all-time best run-scorer with 4985 at 35.10, two hundreds and 34 fifties. Additionally to these numbers, Raina has 96 catches and 36 wickets for CSK. His run count of 4985 is also the most for any cricketer in the IPL.

India’s T20 giant

Raina’s achievement for CSK and India has placed him at the top of the list of the nation’s leading run-getters in T20 cricket. With 7929 runs in 280 career T20 innings, Raina is the top scorer for India well before Virat Kohli who has 7809 from 236 innings. He and Kohli have four T20 hundreds each.

Youngest to lead India in T2oIs

Raina is the youngest cricketer to captain India in T20 internationals. He captained India the first time when he was 23. He also tends to be the second oldest to lead India in ODIs, after Tendulkar.

Indian cricket’s first 1-2-3 hero

When Raina hit a 100 on Test debut against Sri Lanka in 2010, he had become the first Indian to have a century in every format of international cricket. Raina had struck his first ODI ton against Hong Kong in the Asia Cup 2008. His, and India’s, 1st T20I 100 came against South Africa in the 2010 ICC World T20 in the West Indies.

A proper finisher

In 55 excellent ODI run-chases for India when Raina has batted, the 32-year-old averages 66.60 at a strike-rate of 101.74 with two hundreds and 13 half-centuries. This average is behind Kohli (98.93), MS Dhoni (97.81) and Rayudu (116.60) and just Virender Sehwag has a better strike-rate (105.96)

A vocational chef

Raina loves cooking. He has revealed that during his earliest tour as a skipper of the Indian team, he had prepared food for the entire team besides Ashok Dinda.

Fantasy Cricket – Three Records for V Kohli to Break

Virat Kohli is surely the greatest batsmen of this era across all formats. India is ranking 1st in test matches and holds 2nd in both ODI and T20I at the ICC team rank. His steady run-scoring ability has made him earned a nickname of the run machine. The way he is batting at the point of time no prior record created by other international batsmen seems to be safe. He has been on a rampage against best of the bowlers. Think how all of the fantasy cricket games users will want him on their teams.

There are some records, which this Indian skipper will have to break in his career that could debatably make him the best Test batsmen ever. Read them over before you start making your next online fantasy cricket team.

Quadruple century by Brian Lara

Brian Lara is unquestionably one of the greatest batsmen in cricket history. He was known for his potential to amass enormous score in a single inning. He shattered Sir Garfield Sober’s record when he scored 375 at Antigua in 1994. And at the same ground, he scored test history’s 1st ever quadruple century. He has a count of 9 double centuries, 2 triple centuries, 1 quadruple century against his name.

Virat Kohli has learned the art of playing big innings and it may seem simple for him to exceed Lara’s tally of the 200s and 300s, but his actual test will be to go across the 400 runs mark that has continued to be undamaged for even more than a decade.

51 Centuries of Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar – the man whose name is identified with records. Each time a record is shattered whether its ODIs or Tests, his name will show up on the screen. He stands atop the list of greatest run-getters and highest century makers. He has scored 51 Test hundreds in his whole life.

The manner Kohli is batting right now, he is creating centuries after centuries in every single innings that he plays. He has 24 Test hundrends in 73 Tests and it will be likely to break his idol’s record if he continues to rule world cricket in the exact manner. Even if Kohli plays an additional 70 Test matches, it will be anticipated of him to make another 27 hundreds.

It may be hard for him to play the same figure of matches that Sachin played, but Virat’s run-scoring potential lies in his consistency and he has been doing it for half a decade right now. It may be hard to have a preconceived idea of him carrying on the same form for the next five years or so, but the Delhi lad usually seems to be up for the dare thrown at him.

Sir Don Bradman’s records of 200s and 300s

He is often mentioned as the greatest batsman this planet has seen. Sir Don Bradman’s Test average is a standard for the scorecard. He made 6994 runs at 99.94 average. And that is incredible!

However, there are two records of Sir Don that recent Indian captain Virat Kohli can exceed. Virat Kohli has 6 double centuries to his name at the instant, however he has still got 7-8 years ahead of him and even if he carries on his run-scoring spree in the next 3-4 years, without doubt he will break Sir Don’s record of 12 double centuries.

Although Virat Kohli hasn’t been able to score a triple century in his career for any format still, it is not too far that he might replace one of his doubles into a triple century. In his present form, he has the potential to break Sir Don’s record of triple century.

As ardent cricket and daily fantasy cricket fans, we are also waiting for these incredible moments to occur soon, so that along with Kohli we can take part at the celebration in the international cricket.

Fantasy Cricket – Amazing Facts about Gautam Gambhir

Aggressive, fighter and solidity are the synonyms which go along with the former Indian opening batsman, Gautam Gambhir, who retired on December 2018 from all formats of cricket. A fantasy cricket game without him will not be the same.

Let us take a look at some of the amazing facts about this amazing “Gambhir” player of the Indian cricket team. Read along and play fantasy cricket league games at 11wickets app :

We all remember Gautam Gambhir like a fighter who was ever present to bail India out of challenge when India wanted him the most. His 97 in WC Final 2011 and 75 in World Cup T20 Final 2007 are the two of the best knocks an Indian has ever before played in an ICC tournament final. Just imagine whom we all will miss when we will play daily fantasy cricket games. It was his performance that took India to a powerful position on both the occasions. India ultimately won both the tournaments.

Childhood spent with grandparents

Gambhir grew up at his grandparents’ home. After he was born his mother took him there on the way home. His grandparents developed so much love for him that they couldn’t allow him to go and insisted on him to stay.

Introduction to cricket

In 2000, selectors chose him for the pioneer intake of the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore.

Sehwag is his partner in crime

Sehwag and Gambhir is without a doubt the most iconic opening duo not only in the history of Indian cricket but even world cricket. Gambhir and Sehwag’s average has been bettered just by the famous pair of Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe, who also averaged nearly 88, along with 25 strands of 50-plus in 38 innings.

100% winning record as ODI captain

Gambhir retains an unusual record of 100% wins as skipper in ODIs. He has captained India in 6 games (5 against New Zealand, 1 against West Indies) and won all of them.

Hobbies

Gambhir’s hobbies are reading and taking long drives with his family. He married Natasha Jain in 2011. He is a father to two cute daughters Aazeen and Anaiza. Gambhir enjoys playing games on PlayStation.

5 successive Test centuries

Gambhir is the sole Indian cricketer to score 5 successive test centuries. The sole others to accomplish this feat are Bradman, Kallis and Yousuf Youhana.

11 consecutive fifties
