AHMEDABAD, India : India opener Shubman Gill is in the frame to return for Saturday's World Cup blockbuster against Pakistan and the hosts are also open to playing three spinners at the Narendra Modi Stadium, skipper Rohit Sharma said on Friday.
Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma said that there is "99 per cent change" of Shubman Gill playing against Pakistan in the much-anticipated Cricket World Cup 2023 clash. Gill missed the first two matches of the Cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia and Afghanistan due to illness as he was reportedly suffering from dengue. However, he travelled to Ahmedabad with the team and he even took part in a batting practice session on Thursday. This will be the Cricket World Cup debut for Gill who has impressed across all three formats in the past year.
Pakistan cricket team legend Shoaib Akhtar faced massive trolling on social media following his post on the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between India and Pakistan in Ahmedabad on Saturday. The former fast bowler posted a picture of himself from his playing days along with the caption - "History shall repeat itself tomorrow". The Indian cricket team fans were quick to remind Akhtar about India's impressive record against Pakistan when it comes to the Cricket World Cup. India and Pakistan have faced each other 7 times in total and India have won all 7 matches. Shoaib then posted a picture of himself dismissing Sachin Tendulkar during a Test match but as the trolling continued, Akhtar decided to delete the post.
PARIS : Wales have risen remarkably rapidly out of a slump and now sit on the cusp of an unlikely place in the Rugby World Cup semi-finals but first must get past a dangerous Argentina side, searching for form at the tournament in France.
Quinton de Kock will retire from the 50-overs format after the Cricket World Cup but he looks to be going out at the peak of his powers after back-to-back centuries in India fuelled belief that South Africa can be trophy contenders.
Team India continued with their fiery performance and registered their second win in the ongoing ODI World Cup, with a eight-wicket win over Afghanistan. Opting to bat first, Afghanistan posted a total of 272/8 in 50 overs with Jasprit Bumrah taking a four-wicket haul. Later, skipper Rohit Sharma hammered a century as the hosts chased down the target in just 35 overs. Apart from such a brilliant chase, it was Shardul Thakur's fantastic catch which grabbed a lot of limelight.
Virat Kohli is such a big-match player, be it against Pakistan, Australia, or England, you have to back him. He knows how to construct his innings in a high-pressure encounter. Be it while setting a target or chasing. Babar Azam is a marvelous player. Though he hasn't scored big runs in the first two encounters, Pakistan would be hoping that the captain comes good in the big encounter against India.
England all-rounder Chris Woakes feels that home advantage definitely makes things easier and favourable for India in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup but his side is motivated to "knock them off their perch". Defending champions England will be playing their third WC match against Afghanistan in Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday. After a nine-wicket defeat to 2019 finalists New Zealand in the tournament opener, England got back on track with a 137-run win over Bangladesh.
