F ormer opener of the Indian Cricket Team, Aakash Chopra, is not happy with the decision of the team management to rest Virat and Rohit Sharma for the second ODI against the West Indies. He questioned whether Rohit Sharma and his teammates were overly dismissive of the visitors, noting that the World Cup isn't far away. The West Indies won the second ODI against India by six wickets, tying the series 1-1. In a video on his YouTube channel, Chopra said, "You might be wondering why Rohit and Kohli weren't there. Was it because the opposition team collapsed in the last match? The West Indies looked extremely ordinary while batting first, so India thought they wouldn't play their main players. Let's experiment a little more. Could that have been the reason?" Chopra also said that a team can only prepare for the World Cup if all of its members play together in all ODIs. He added, "If that was the reason, even you could have gotten out in one match, if your tea...

Between Kuldeep Yadav's ODI debut in June 2017 and the end of the 2019 World Cup, India played 63 ODIs with either one of them in their XI, 34 with both, and none with neither. Since defeating England in the semi-finals at Old Trafford, though, India have become quite hesitant to use their wrist spinners in combination. Therefore, they've used either Kuldeep or Chahal in 51 ODIs; they've used both of them on three occasions and picked none of them on four occasions. Hence, it is a challenging situation, but according to Kuldeep, their relationship hasn't suffered for it. After taking four wickets in the first ODI match against WI in Bridgetown on Thursday, Kuldeep said, "We're very relaxed. We know the combination matters a lot. Sometimes he plays, sometimes I play, and our understanding is very good. We're very normal."Further, he also added that, "He helps me a lot when I play; he tells me what I can do and what I can change. He always wants me ...

The phrase goes that the leader must lead by example, but not after what Indian women's cricket skipper Harmanpreet Kaur did in the tied third ODI versus Bangladesh. Harmanpreet's behaviour throughout the match has been highly questioned, with many fans and analysts arguing that the India captain should have behaved better. Harmanpreet let her emotions run wild on the pitch, whether it was smashing her stumps after being dismissed or continuously addressing the umpires for alleged poor decision-making. Although the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) or the International Cricket Council (ICC) have not yet formally punished Harmanpreet, there are indications that he could face a severe fine. Following the disorganised conclusion of the third One-Day International between India and Bangladesh, former India cricketer Madan Lal criticised Harmanpreet on Twitter and urged the BCCI to take harsh measures. "Harmanpreet's behaviour against the women's team from Ba...

The Australia and England cricket teams were squaring off against each other in the 4th test match of the Ashes series 2023 in Manchester. But because of rainfall on the final day of the game, the match ended in a draw. As a result of this, the Pat Cummins-led Team Australia retained the series with a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. Now only one match is remaining. The Australia cricket team had posted a target of 270 runs in the first innings after being asked to bat first after England won the toss. In reply to this, England was solid, with a total of 592 runs on the board. Then the visitors were 214 for 5 in their second innings and were trailing England by 61 runs.

But then the weather in Manchester spoiled everything as it started raining, which concluded the match in a draw.

An amazing innings from Virat Kohli gave Team India the upper hand on the opening day of the second test match against the West Indies in Trinidad. In his 500th international match for India, Virat scored his 30th half century in the longest format and then returned unbeaten on 87. After the quick dismissal, the unbeaten partnership of 106 runs between Kohli and Jadeja brought the team back into the game, as India posted 288/4 at stumps. Fans who were watching the game on TV sets expressed their adoration for Kohli with reactions on social media, especially when he brought up his fifty with a beautiful cover drive off Jomel Warrican. But one of his admirers was standing close to him; right behind the stumps was the wicketkeeper of the West Indies, Joshua Da Silva. Joshua was continuously talking as he was clearly heard on the stump mic, and to the surprise of everyone, his words were more of a fan boy. He was heard asking Kohli to get a century this time, as the ace Indian batsman miss...

The legend of the Australia cricket team, Ricky Ponting, expressed his disappointment with the batting unit of the Australia cricket team after the first day of the fourth 2023 test at Old Trafford, Manchester.

The Australian team ended the day with a total of 299/8. After seeing this poor performance by Tea...

After his absence from the Indian team since the Sri Lanka tour in 2021, Shaw returned to the T20I side for the series against New Zealand at home last year.

The game was thrilling and up-and-down, but Nellai maintained composure and won. In this crucial game, they needed 37 runs from the last two overs. The bowling team was predicted to win by the majority of people. In the second-to-last over, Nellai reversed the situation by hitting three consecutive sixes. After that, they continued to grow stronger and were impossible to stop. For his superb performance, Ajitesh merits commendation. Thanks to strong performances from Shivam Singh and Boopathi Kumar, Dindigul performed well to earn a respectable total. Arun Karthik responded by playing a brief innings, but Aushik ultimately got him out. Sugendhiran fought to escape and rushed carelessly to Chakaravarthy.

So there, I feel a place might not get opened up." He further added, "So I am going with Ruturaj Gaikwad as an opener. He hasn't had too many opportunities. For some reason, he is not considered your T20 batter. The second player I h...

Ponting said, "There's no difference. There's none because the ball's still alive until the umpire calls over and the ball is alive, and it doesn't matter if it's the fourth, first, second, or third ball; you still have to ask permission to leave your crease, and if you do that and the fielding captain says, Yes, you can leave your crease, then the ball is deemed to be dead."
