"These Are Quite Impactful Runs": Sunil Gavaskar Praises Rishabh Pant's Fifty In SCG Test

Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said that wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant's valuable half-century were "impactful runs" in helping his team gain a sizeable lead over Australia at the end of the day two of fifth Test and also for playing some fine shots throughout his knock "in the front of the wicket". Pant finally scored a half-century, getting his fifty in just 30 balls during day two of the Test match at Sydney. The half-century came after a frustrating wait to convert his fine starts into something more meaningful that lasted four Test matches. However, he lost his wicket to Aussie skipper Pat Cummins and India ended at 141/6, with a lead of 145 runs.

Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek will battle for United Cup glory after the USA and Poland won their respective semi-finals on Saturday in Sydney amid bizarre circumstances.

"Not An Ordinary Captain": Gautam Gambhir, Team India Blasted For Leaving Rohit Sharma Out

Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has strongly stated that India Test captain Rohit Sharma should not have been left out of the playing XI of the fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney.

However, Kaif has stated that Rohit is not any "ordinary" captain, and his contribution to Indian cricket alone should've seen him keep his spot in the XI, whether win, lose or draw.
