"Only Wives Allowed...": Ravi Shastri Shares Heartwarming Virat Kohli-Anushka Sharma Story

Former Indian cricket team head coach Ravi Shastri recently shared a heartwarming story about star batter Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma. The Bollywood actress' reaction went viral recently following Virat's brilliant century against Australia in the Perth Test. In a video that has surfaced on social media, Shastri recalled how Virat wanted Anushka to join the team during the series in Australia back in 2015. While wives of cricketers are allowed on tours, Virat and Anushka were dating each other at that point and it was Shastri who asked the BCCI to allow her to join them. Virat went on to slam a century in the first match of the Test series and even made the flying kiss gesture during his celebration.

KL Rahul's Plea To Gautam Gambhir On India's 2nd Test XI As Rohit Sharma Returns From Break

Despite putting in a solid show with the bat for India in the Perth Test, KL Rahul seems to be fearing for his place in the team for the second match of the series in Adelaide. Rahul was the only Indian batter to register decent scores in both innings - scoring 26 and 77 - but he isn't sure if he will be in India's XI for the second match of the series. The reason behind this fear is the return of skipper Rohit Sharma.

Rift In Australian Team? Josh Hazlewood's Comments Sees Adam Gilchrist Make Bold Claim

Former Australia wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist said Josh Hazlewood's comments post a crushing day three's play for the hosts in the first Test against India have suggested to him that there is a likelihood of divide in the dressing room. In the post-day press conference after day three ended, Hazlewood was asked about how Australia would approach day four. His response to the query was, “You probably have to ask one of the batters that question. I'm sort of relaxing and trying to get a bit of physio and a bit of treatment, and I'm probably looking mostly towards the next Test and what plans we can do against these batters.”

Sourav Ganguly Issues Dire Warning To Australia After Perth Test Loss: "Play Well Or..."

Someone who never doubted India's "enormous talent", former captain Sourav Ganguly on Monday warned Australia to start playing well or "get ready for a long series ahead" after Jasprit Bumrah-led team thrashed the hosts by 295 runs in the Perth. Coming off an embarrassing 0-3 loss to New Zealand on home soil , India roared back to hand Australia their first-ever Test loss at the Optus Stadium inside four days. Ganguly said Indian team's performance was contrary to what the media in both the countries reported, but said India will have to keep applying pressure on Australia given there are four more Tests left. "I gave a couple of interviews (before the series) and I said this, 'what you are asking me?' They said, ‘you know, they lost 3-0 against New Zealand, they will be blown away by Australia'," he told the broadcaster during the Indian Premier League mega auction here.
