There has been a lot of conversation surrounding Rohit Sharma's batting position in the ongoing Test series against Australia. He missed the first Test match as he stayed back with family following the birth of his second child and in the second Test, he batted at No. 6 with KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal playing as openers. The move did not work out as both Rohit and Rahul struggled to score runs in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide. However, India are likely to stick with the same batting order in the third Test match as well with the practice session on Thursday dropping major hints about the decision.
The on-field fight between Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq became one of the major controversies during Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. During the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants, Kohli got involved in a heated argument with Naveen with the fight taking an ugly turn. Then mentor Gautam Gambhir also got involved and got into another spat with Kohli as teammates tried to separate them. During a recent interaction, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka opened up about the entire incident and revealed the conversation he had with the Afghanistan fast bowler.
New Zealand hope pace veteran Tim Southee will sign off from test cricket with a victory over England in the third and final match of the series but the hosts' bowling unit will have their hands full keeping the explosive Harry Brook quiet in Hamilton.
The controversy surrounding Champions Trophy 2025 is far from over and no decision has been taken over the scheduling of the competition yet. India refused to travel to Pakistan citing security concerns leading a major conversation on how the International Cricket Council (ICC) will handle the situation. A 'hybrid' formula was suggested that can see India playing their matches in Dubai but no official announcement has been made yet. While an ICC meeting was supposed to be held on December, it had to be postponed due to disagreements regarding the way forward. According to Cricbuzz, the delay can lead to Champions Trophy becoming a T20 tournament from the regular ODI format.
Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh is on the cusp of dethroning Ding Liren of China at the World Chess Championship in Singapore. With the series tied at 6-6 after 12 games, both GMs showed incredible concentration in Game 13, considering the circumstances, to force a final game, which will be played on Thursday. Despite being outplayed by Gukesh in the 68-move game on Wednesday, Ding dodged several bullets with a mixture of excellent defensive skills combined with a lot of good luck. While the draw was a missed opportunity on Gukesh's part, the world number two will have another bite at the cherry, and he'll be hoping to make it count this time around.
Former Australia batter Simon Katich criticised India captain Rohit Sharma for his bowling changes during the 10-wicket loss in the Pink-Ball Test in Adelaide. The loss last week was India's fourth-straight in Test under Rohit's captaincy, having conceded three games at home to New Zealand last month. In a recent interaction, Katich feels Rohit failed to rotate his bowlers, something his deputy Jasprit Bumrah managed to do pretty well during India's 295-run win over Australia in the series-opener in Perth.
