Hello Anon

"took over as" here means "replaced in the position of".

"making the cut" means "being chosen (for the team)".

"torrid one" means (in effect) "bad run", i.e. "lack of success".

"the One-Dayers" means "the one-day cricket matches".

"of late" means "recently".

"The Colonel" is Dilip Vengsarkar's nickname.

All the best,
