Wasim Akram Foreshadows Pakistan's Dropped Catch On Commentary During 2nd ODI vs Australia

Legendary Pakistan bowler foreshadowed an incident during the second ODI between Australia and Pakistan in Adelaide. Akram, on commentary, was told that during his era, him and pace bowling partner Waqar Younis would send stumps flying and trap batters leg-before-wicket. Akram joked that that was because the bowlers did not trust the Pakistan fielders and, therefore, they'd have to get the wickets by themselves. In a hilarious coincidence, Pakistan's Shaheen Shah Afridi went on to drop a catch in the ongoing game in the very next ball, proving Akram's sarcasm scarily true.

Gautam Gambhir Out? Report Says India Coach To Lose Test Role If...

The start to what was promised to be a fruitful coaching career hasn't gone the way Gautam Gambhir or the well-wishers of the Indian team had predicted. Gambhir arrived in the Indian team on the back of a title-winning campaign at Kolkata Knight Riders. But, since becoming Team India's head coach, Gambhir has suffered an ODI series loss in Sri Lanka and a clean sweep at home against New Zealand in Tests. As the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) top brass tightens its screws on the slumping performances, Gambhir faces a make-or-break Test campaign against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The series is unarguably Gambhir's biggest 'Test' to sustain the India coach job in the longest format.

"Don't Expect Good Gestures...": PCB's Sharp Message To BCCI Over Champions Trophy 2025

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi has warned India not to expect any "good gestures" following recent developments regarding the Rohit Sharma-led team's visit to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy next year.

In response to these reports, Naqvi did not hold back in expressing his disappointment. "In recent years, Pakistan has extended numerous good gestures. However, we hope we are not expected to always do so," Naqvi, who also serves as the interior minister, told reporters in Lahore, as quoted by Geo News.

"If India Go Over The Top...": Australia Legend's Sharp Warning To Team India Ahead Of Border Gavaskar Trophy

Australia Great's Blunt Verdict On Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's Form. Says, "Mental Fatigue..."

With India set to play a five-match Test series in Australia, star batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's form remains a huge topic of discussion. Rohit and Kohli have come under the scanner after the embarrassing 0-3 whitewash to New Zealand. Rohit scored only 91 runs in 6 innings, while Kohli just bettered him with 93 as India were whitewashed at home by the Kiwis last week. Following their poor show against New Zealand, calls have been made to drop the duo from the Test squad. However, former Australia captain Michael Clarke feels Rohit and Kohli's recent poor form is mainly due to mental fatigue, something which was evident in their shot selection.

Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir has come under a lot of criticism following the 0-3 whitewash in the Test series against New Zealand. The Rohit Sharma-led side was completely outplayed by the visitors as they slumped to three consecutive losses at home. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) conducted a review of the series defeat on Friday with skipper Rohit Sharma, chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar and Gambhir in attendance along with BCCI secretary Jay Shah and president Roger Binny. A number of topics were discussed and a report by PTI claimed that Gambhir and the team think-tank are currently not "on the same page" when it comes to certain decisions regarding the team.

'Picked From IPL': Harbhajan Singh Blasts Selectors For Ignoring Ranji Trophy Record-Holder

Former Indian cricket team spinner Harbhajan Singh slammed the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee for ignoring Ranji Trophy record-holder Jalaj Saxena despite 17 years of playing in the domestic circuit. Saxena holds the unique distinction of being the only player to have 400 wickets and 6000 runs to his name in Ranji Trophy history. However, he once again did not make the cut when the India A team was announced for the matches against Australia A. In response to a tweet mentioning Saxena's record, Harbhajan asked whether domestic tournaments are getting irrelevant with players getting picked from the IPL.
