“So, there’s so much likeness between the two and I wouldn’t go as far as saying that Virat is gonna have a better Asia Cup than Babar Azam, but they both can have equal pressure on them and it’s gonna be a delight to watch...

“I think Virat is perfect for No. 4. He can put the innings together, play any kind of role in that middle order. I don’t know if he would like to do that. We know he loves his No. 3 position; he’s scored all his runs there, but at the end of the day, if the team needs you to do something, play a certain role, you have got to put your hand up and go for it.

“If Virat has to bat at four, he will bat at four in the interest of the side. You know, there were times I thought of it.

In India’s six-wicket loss to West Indies in the second Odi at Kensington Oval, they rested veterans like captain Rohit Sharma and talismanic batter Virat Kohli, giving game time to Sanju Samson and Axar Patel in another round of experiments.
But Samson and Axar couldn’t make the chance count, scoring only nine and one respectively as India suffered a batting collapse to be all out for 181. In reply, West Indies chased down the target with 80 balls to spare to level the series 1-1 and set up a series decider at Port of Spain on Tuesday.

Bridgetown (Barbados), July 30 (Ians) India head coach Rahul Dravid has defended the decision to experiment excessively with the team combination in the ongoing Odi series against West Indies and the call to rest skipper Rohit Sharma and fellow experienced batter Virat Kohli in the second match, which visitors lost at the Kensington Oval, here on Saturday.
After rejigging their batting line-up in the first Odi, India continued their experimentation as they rested Rohit and Kohli for the second Odi and the move backfired as the Caribbean team cruised to a six-wicket triumph that squared the series at 1-1 on Saturday.
However, Dravid isn’t too concerned with the results and explained the selection decision, saying that it was important to get a look at fringe players like Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup and Icc Men’s Cricket World Cup later this year.

Bridgetown (Barbados), July 28 (Ians) Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm wrist-spinner, exhibited a top-class spinner’s qualities during India’s five-wicket victory over West Indies in the first Odi, returning impressive figures of 4 for 6.
The 28-year-old left-arm chinaman bowler has had his share of challenges. Despite delivering strong performances, he has been in and out of the team. Kuldeep boasts impressive records in all three formats of the game.
However, due to India’s abundance of spin resources, he has been sidelined for a significant number of matches since making his international debut. Nevertheless, the wrist spinner remains unfazed by such fluctuations and focuses on the aspects of his game that he can control.
“You often have to sit outside because of the situation or the combination. It’s a normal thing. I’ve been playing cricket for such a long time — it’s been six, six-and-a-half years (since my debut) and...

Port of Spain, Sep 25 (Ians) After winning the two-match series 1-0, India skipper Rohit Sharma said that playing in the West Indies has its own challenge and he is happy with the way things went for his side.
The fifth day of the second Test on Monday got washed out which meant that the match was drawn, handing the visitors a 1-0 series victory against West Indies.
“Every win is different. Playing in Wi has its own challenge. Happy with the way things went. We gave it a good shot, unfortunately we couldn’t get any play today. We actually went out with a positive intent yesterday. Rain had its final say. We were quite confident. You know how difficult it is batting last.

Colombo, July 22 (Ians) After beating Bangladesh ‘A’ in the semifinal of the Acc Men’s Emerging Asia Cup, India ‘A’ is all set to face off against archrival Pakistan ‘A’ in the title clash at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Port of Spain, July 21 (Ians) West Indies’ assistant coach Kenny Benjamin believes the bowlers will have to work hard on Day Two of the second Test against India and also hoped that the bowlers execute their plans well.

New Delhi, July 19 (Ians) Left-arm spinner Shahbaz Ahmed on Wednesday said Indian cricket team will look to win gold in what would be their official debut at the Asian Games.
He commented on the fact that cricket is being represented in having the chance to win a yellow metal is a matter of great pride.
This is the second time the men’s cricket team will play in a multi-sport event. The Indian men’s cricket team played at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur in a 50-over format. The matches, however, were not accorded international status and were recorded as List A games.
“Our tournament starts for us from the quarter-final stages. All the teams would be good and well prepared. We hope for the gold medal for the country,” Shahbaz Ahmed told a YouTube channel ‘Cricket Basu’.

New Delhi, June 3 (Ians) Former India head coach Gary Kirsten believes that it will be unfair right now to compare young India batter Shubman Gill with legendary batters Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.
Kirsten was batting coach and mentor of Gujarat Titans when Gill scored 890 runs in 17 innings, including three centuries, to be the leading run-getter of Ipl 2023, as the side finished runners-up in the competition.
“He is a young player who has incredible skill and determination to be one of the best players in the world. It would be unfair to compare him to Sachin and Virat so early in his journey.”
“I believe he has the game to successfully play across all three formats for India. You don’t often see that, these days, particularly as T20 cricket is developing and progressing so fast,” Kirsten was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.

Pujara has scored more Test runs and tons against Australia than any other team and can turn to that record to play a critical role in the Wtc Final, according to Ponting.
The reliable No.3 batter has already amassed 2033 runs and five centuries in 24 Tests against Australia and will now be crucial to I’dia’s chances when the teams clash in the Wtc Final from June 7.

New Delhi, May 28 (Ians) Former captain and batting legend Ricky Ponting has selected his combined Test XI from the Australia and India squads ahead of the Icc World Test Championship final and he prefered recent form over reputations.
Ponting firstly selected an opener from each team with a left-right combination as Rohit Sharma and Usman Khawaja were named at the top of the order.
The former Australia skipper identified Rohit as the player to captain the combined Test XI due to his extensive experience as a leader, although Pat Cummins is still seen as integral to Ponting’s line-up.
“I’ll start with Usman Khawaja. His last couple of years, whether it has been in Australia or away, have been outstanding at the top of the order. Almost since he’s been picked back in the Australian team, he hasn’t put a foot wrong. The older he is getting,...

While speaking on Rcb Podcast, Siraj said he would cry in his room often while staying inside the bio-bubble and also detailed how he handled the racism episode on that Down Under tour.
“In Australia, nobody could visit other players’ rooms as we spoke on video calls. But Sridhar sir (former India fielding coach R Sridhar) used to call often asking how are you, what have you eaten etc. It was a good feeling and my fiancé was also talking to me (over phone) at that time.

New Delhi, March 3 (Ians) Former Australia batter Matthew Hayden has opined that there is nothing wrong with Virat Kohli’s technique adding that players go through a phase where they are not scoring runs but the Indian batter needs to work on how to remain longer on the crease.
He has been struggling to get big scores in Test cricket in the recent past as the star batter has not gone past 50 in the longest format in his last 15 innings. In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Kohli has managed just 111 runs across 5 innings.
“There seems to be nothing majorly wrong with the technical point of view. The mind that’s where the issue lies.

New Delhi, Feb 18 (Ians) In India’s ongoing second Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, talismanic batter Virat Kohli endured an unlucky lbw dismissal which sparked a lengthy debate on social media.
In the second session of Day Two’s play, Kohli was trapped lbw by debutant left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann on the third ball of the 50th over. When Kohli took a review, the UltraEdge showed there was a huge spike when the ball was between bat and pad.
After seeing multiple replays to and fro, TV umpire Richard Illingworth concluded that the ball hit the pad first and Kohli had to return to the pavilion courtesy of the umpire’s call, falling six runs short of his fifty at his home ground and stared towards on-field umpire Nitin Menon too while on his walk towards the dressing room, with the vociferous crowd falling silent.

New Delhi, Jan 15 (Ians) Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma on Sunday lauded Virat Kohli’s fantastic 46th Odi century innings, which helped India to a thumping 317-run win and 3-0 series victory over Sri Lanka at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.
Anushka took to social media to share a TV screen, which showed Virat Kohli raising his bat and helmet, and looking up towards the sky after his hundred in the third Odi against Sri Lanka.
“What a guy…Shabaaash…What an innings played,” she wrote along with the post.
On a slow yet placid pitch, the former India captain was off the blocks quickly and anchored the innings for a large part to remain unbeaten on 166 off 110 balls, his tenth hundred against Sri Lanka. In his third century in the last four Odi innings, Kohli hit 13 fours and eight sixes, feasting on a hapless bowling attack.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 15 (Ians) India opener Shubman Gill was fulsome in praise of talismanic batter Virat Kohli’s 166 not out in the third and final Odi against Sri Lanka at the Greenfield International Stadium, saying it is amazing to witness what he does with the bat.
On Sunday, Kohli hit his 46th Odi century, dishing out a batting masterclass through his 166 not out off just 110 balls, hitting 13 fours and eight sixes, making Sri Lanka bowlers look hapless on a flat pitch as India posted a mammoth 390/5 in 50 overs.
On way to his 166 not out, including smashing 84 runs in the last ten overs, Kohli surpassed former Sri Lankan batter Mahela Jayawardene to become the fifth-highest run scorer in ODIs, a list which is headed by legendary India batter Sachin Tendulkar. It is also his third three-figure mark in the last four innings of the 50-over format.
“It is amazing to see what he does.
