Captain Nicholas Pooran was at his devastating best in blazing the West Indies to a comfortable five-wicket win over Bangladesh in the third and final T20 International at the Guyana National Stadium on Thursday.
The opinions surrounding Virat Kohli's lean patch, and its possible end, have been wide-ranging. Some have criticised the former Indian cricket team captain, while others are optimistic that he will soon turn around the corner. His recent show in the fifth rescheduled Test against England at Edgbaston, has again got some critical response. He even had mild altercation with Jonny Bairtsow. Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has now commented that Kohli riling up rivals is a good sign for the cricketer.
Captain Nicholas Pooran was at his devastating best in blazing the West Indies to a comfortable five-wicket win over Bangladesh in the third and final T20 International at the Guyana National Stadium on Thursday. Pooran's unbeaten 74, and 55 from opening batsman Kyle Mayers anchored the home side's pursuit of the visitors' total of 163 for five. The hosts reached 169 for five with ten balls to spare to take the series 2-0 after the first fixture in Dominica last Saturday had ended in a rain-ruined no-result.
Rohit Sharma on Thursday became the first captain to win 13 T20I matches in a row. The Indian skipper registered the record after India's 50-run win over England in the first T20I of the three-match series at The Rose Bowl, Southampton on Thursday. It is worth noting that Rohit is yet to lose a T20I match as India captain since getting the role on a full-time basis after Virat Kohli stepped down from the post. The 13-match winning run for Rohit started with the series against Bangladesh before India defeated New Zealand, West Indies, Sri Lanka and England under his leadership.
West Indies to a comfortable five-wicket win over Bangladesh in the third and final T20 International at the Guyana National Stadium on Thursday. Pooran's unbeaten 74, and 55 from opening batsman Kyle Mayers anchored the home side's pursuit of the visitors' total of 163 for five. The hosts reached 169 for five with ten balls to spare to take the series 2-0 after the first fixture in Dominica last Saturday had ended in a rain-ruined no-result. Having come to the crease with the innings at 43 for three in the seventh over, Pooran asserted himself from the outset. With fellow left-hander Mayers following suit, the pair transformed a potentially tough challenge into a relaxed canter by the end in a rollicking fourth-wicket stand of 85 off eight overs.
Virat Kohli's poor form with the bat in India's seven-wicket defeat to England in the Edgbaston Test has subjected the former captain to more criticism for his long run of low scores. Experts and fans alike had hoped that Kohli would return to form, now that he no longer has to carry the burden of captaincy, but the 33-year-old batter failed to fire in the Indian Premier League and was rested for India's T20I series against South Africa. Back in the squad on England tour, Kohli had scores of 11 and 20 in the rescheduled fifth Test against England, resulting in people again questioning his extended lean patch.
Former India skipper MS Dhoni turned 41 on Thursday and the World Cup-winning captain is currently in the UK. On Wednesday, he had attended the Wimbledon quarterfinal between Rafael Nadal and Taylor Fritz as well. Dhoni's wife Sakshi shared a glimpse of Dhoni's birthday celebration and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was in attendance. Sakshi uploaded a slow-mo video of Dhoni cutting the birthday cake on Instagram and actor Ranveer Singh also reacted to the video.
