चैंपियंस ट्रॉफी: इंग्लैंड में गब्बर की गूंज, भारत का जीत से आगाज

कार्डिफ। आइसीसी चैंपियंस ट्रॉफी में टीम इंडिया ने शानदार जीत के साथ आगाज किया। भारत ने उद्घाटन मुकाबले में दक्षिण अफ्रीका को 26 रनों से हरा दिया। 332 रनों के लक्ष्य का पीछा करते हुए दक्षिण अफ्रीकी टीम 50 ओवर में 305 रन बनाकर ऑलआउट हो गई। इससे पहले मैन ऑफ द मैच शिखर धवन (114) के पहले वनडे शतक और रोहित शर्मा (65) के शानदार अर्धशतक की बदौलत टीम इंडिया ने निर्धारित 50 ओवरों में 7 विकेट के नुकसान पर 331 रन बनाए।

टॉस हारकर पहले बल्लेबाजी करने उतरी टीम इंडिया को रोहित शर्मा और शिखर धवन ने शानदार शुरुआत दी और पहले विकेट के लिए शतकीय साझेदारी निभाते हुए शानदार 127 रन जोड़े। इसके बाद रोहित शर्मा आउट हो गए। रोहित ने 81 गेंदों में 8 चौके और 1 छक्के की मदद से 65 रन बनाए। विराट कोहली के रूप में टीम इंडिया को दूसरा झटका लगा। कोहली 41 गेंदों में 31 रन बनाकर आउट हुए।

शिखर धवन (गब्बर) के रूप में टीम इंडिया को तीसरा झटका लगा। आउट होने से पहले धवन ने धमाकेदार पारी खेली और वनडे करियर का पहला शतक लगाया। धवन 94 गेंदों में 12 चौके और 1 छक्के की मदद से 114 रन बनाकर आउट हुए। धवन के अलावा दिनेश कार्तिक ने 14 रन, सुरेश रैना ने 9 रन, कप्तान महेंद्र सिंह धौनी ने 27 रन और आर. अश्विन ने 10 रन बनाए। रवींद्र जडेजा 29 गेंदों में 7 चौके और 1 छक्के की मदद से 47 रन और भुवनेश्वर कुमार बिना खाता खोले नाबाद रहे। वहीं, दक्षिण अफ्रीका की तरफ से मैक्कलेरेन (3) ने सबसे अधिक विकेट लिए। उनके अलावा सोत्सोबे ने 2 विकेट और जेपी डुमिनी ने 1 विकेट लिए।

भारत द्वारा दिए गए 332 रनों के लक्ष्य का पीछा करने उतरी दक्षिणी अफ्रीकी टीम की शुरुआत अच्छी नहीं रही और उसके दो विकेट सिर्फ 31 रन पर ही गिर गए। कोलिन इंग्राम 6 रन और हाशिम अमला 22 रन बनाकर आउट हो गए। इसके बाद रोबिन पीटरसन और कप्तान एबी डिविलियर्स ने सूझबूझ के साथ पारी संभाली और तीसरे विकेट के लिए शतकीय साझेदारी निभाते हुए 124 रन जोड़ दिए, लेकिन पीटरसन दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण रूप से रनआउट हो गए। उन्होंने 72 गेंदों में 68 रन बनाए। इसके बाद जेपी डुमिनी भी कुछ खास नहीं कर सके और 14 रन बनाकर आउट हो गए।

कप्तान एबी डिविलियर्स के रूप में दक्षिण अफ्रीकी टीम को पांचवां झटका लगा। वे 71 गेंदों में 70 रन बनाकर आउट हुए। इसके बाद डेविड मिलर बिना खाता खोले पवेलियन लौट गए। डु प्लेसिस ने 30 रन, क्लेनवेल्ड ने 4 रन, सोत्सोबे ने 3 रन और मोर्ने मोर्कल ने 8 रन बनाए। मोर्कल का विकेट आखिरी गेंद पर गिरा। दक्षिण अफ्रीका की तरफ से रयान मैक्लेरेन ने सबसे अधिक रन बनाए। मैक्लेरेन ने तेजी से रन बनाते हुए 61 गेंदों में 11 चौके और 1 छक्के की मदद से नाबाद 71 रन बनाए। टीम इंडिया की तरफ से भुवनेश्वर कुमार, उमेश यादव, इशांत शर्मा और रवींद्र जडेजा को 2-2 विकेट मिले।

नई दिल्ली। आइसीसी चैंपियंस ट्रॉफी के पहले मुकाबले में भारत और दक्षिण अफ्रीका के बीच भिड़ंत होनी है। ट्रॉफी शुरू होने से पहले दोनों अभ्यास मुकाबले जीतकर टीम इंडिया पूरे जोश में है। श्रीलंका के खिलाफ पहले अभ्यास मुकाबले में विराट कोहली और दिनेश कार्तिक का बल्ला चला था तो दूसरे अभ्यास मुकाबले में दिनेश कार्तिक और कप्तान महेंद्र सिंह धौनी का बल्ला चला था।

आइए, मुकाबले से पहले हम उन भारतीय खिलाड़ियों के बारे में जानते हैं, जो मैच का पासा कभी भी पलट सकते हैं :

1. दिनेश कार्तिक : मौजूदा टीम इंडिया में दिनेश कार्तिक ही एक ऐसे खिलाड़ी हैं, जिन्होंने दोनों अभ्यास मुकाबलों में अपने बल्ले से जौहर दिखाया। कार्तिक ने श्रीलंका के खिलाफ पहले अभ्यास मुकाबले में नाबाद 106 रन बनाए थे, जबकि ऑस्ट्रेलिया के खिलाफ दूसरे अभ्यास मुकाबले में नाबाद 146 रन बनाए। उनकी बल्लेबाजी देखकर कप्तान धौनी भी काफी प्रभावित हुए। विदेशी जमीन पर उनके इस फॉर्म को देखकर धौनी ने उन्हें तुरंत अंतिम एकादश में शामिल कर लिया है।

2. विराट कोहली : टीम इंडिया के मध्यक्रम बल्लेबाज विराट कोहली ने भी श्रीलंका के खिलाफ पहले अभ्यास मुकाबले में शानदार शतक जड़ा था और 120 गेंदों में 144 रन बनाए थे। कोहली टीम इंडिया के मध्यक्रम की रीढ़ हैं। इनमें क्रीज पर अधिक देर तक टिककर खेलने की पूरी क्षमता मौजूद है। ऑस्ट्रेलिया के खिलाफ दूसरे अभ्यास मुकाबले में वे सिर्फ 9 रन ही बना सके, लेकिन पहले मुकाबले में उन्होंने 334 रनों के विशाल लक्ष्य का पीछा करते हुए जिस अंदाज में बल्लेबाजी की थी, उससे यह तो साबित हो गया कि उनमें इतना दम है कि वे किसी भी परिस्थितियों में रनों की बारिश कर सकते हैं।

3. महेंद्र सिंह धौनी : इस लिस्ट में कप्तान महेंद्र सिंह धौनी भी शामिल हैं। सातवें नंबर पर धौनी जिस अंदाज में बल्लेबाजी करते हैं, वो बेहतरीन है। अगर टीम इंडिया मुश्किलों में रहती है तो वे इस नंबर पर भी आकर टीम को मुश्किलों से बाहर निकालने की पूरी कोशिश करते हैं। ऑस्ट्रेलिया के खिलाफ अभ्यास मुकाबले में भी यह देखने में आया था। धौनी ने सातवें नंबर पर बल्लेबाजी करते हुए शानदार 91 रन बनाए थे।

4. उमेश यादव : शादी के कारण थोड़ी देर से टीम इंडिया के साथ जुड़े तेज गेंदबाज उमेश यादव ने ऑस्ट्रेलिया के खिलाफ दूसरे अभ्यास मुकाबले में जिस तरह से तूफानी गेंदबाजी की, उससे भारत को काफी राहत मिली। यादव ने 5 ओवर में सिर्फ 18 रन देकर 5 विकेट झटके और कंगारू बल्लेबाजों को पिच पर जमने नहीं दिया। उनकी गेंदें काफी स्विंग कर रही थीं। ऐसे में उमेश यादव ने यह साबित किया कि कोई भी दूसरा देश भारत की गेंदबाजी आक्रमण को कमजोर न समझे।

5. इशांत शर्मा : आइपीएल में अपनी गेंदबाजी से सबको हैरान करने वाले इशांत शर्मा का फॉर्म इंग्लैंड में भी जारी है। ऑस्ट्रेलिया के खिलाफ उन्होंने उमेश यादव का पूरा साथ दिया और 3 महत्वपूर्ण विकेट लिए। इशांत ने 5 ओवरों में सिर्फ 11 रन खर्च किए। इससे अंदाजा लगाया जा सकता है कि कार्डिफ के सोफिया गार्डस मैदान में भारतीय गेंदबाज किस कदर दक्षिण अफ्रीका के खिलाफ कहर बरपा सकते हैं।
