England captain Ben Stokes does not think the heavier bowling workload he undertook in the third test against New Zealand was a contributory factor to the hamstring injury he suffered during the match.
:New Zealand beat England by 423 runs on Tuesday to send Tim Southee out a winner on his home ground in his final test and claim a consolation victory as one-sided as their losses in the first two matches of the series.
It was a disappointing show from Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli once again as he was dismissed cheaply on Day 3 of the third Test match against Australia in Brisbane on Monday. Kohli managed to score just three runs before he was caught behind the wicket by Alex Carey off the bowling of Josh Hazlewood. Besides the century in the first Test, Kohli has been extremely inconsistent for the team and at stumps, India were left struggling on 51/4. During his analysis, Pujara pointed out that Kohli's strength lies in playing against the old ball. With India's top-order batters also struggling for runs, he has been forced to play the new ball, and his 'technique' has not helped.
Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul began India's charge with the bat on Day 4 of the third Test against Australia in Brisbane, hoping to get as close to the hosts' 445-run mark as possible. While Rahul regained his Day 3 form, after the first-ball reprieve, Rohit departed after only scoring 10 runs. As Rohit, who batted at the No. 6 spot in the team, continued his dry run of form, a 'frustrated act' from him left fans on social media puzzled. Rohit, who was understandably disappointed by his early dismissal, threw his gloves near the Indian dugout.
Virat Kohli's struggles against balls outside the off-stump in the ongoing Test series against Australia has the great Allan Border wondering if the Indian superstar has "just lost that edge". Kohli has fallen to balls outside the off-stump four out of five times in the series thus far, prompting comparisons with a similar slump in England back in 2014. On Monday, he was caught behind chasing a wide ball that he could have left alone.
Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood's further participation in the ongoing third Test is in doubt after going off the field with calf soreness in the first session on Day 4. Hazlewood arrived late on the field at the start of play and appeared to struggle when he began his spell, rarely exceeding 131 kmph. His first delivery was a wide long hop, which KL Rahul cut away with ease. During the drinks break following that over, Hazlewood engaged in an extended discussion with Pat Cummins, Steven Smith, and physio Nick Jones before leaving the field.
Rohan Jaitley has been appointed as the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) president for another term, beating former India player Kirti Azad in the polls. The 35-year-old Jaitley, son of former Union Minister late Arun Jaitley, secured 1,577 votes compared to Azad's 777 in the race to the top position. As many as 2,413 votes were cast, and 1,207 votes were required to win. In 2020, Rohan was elected unopposed as DDCA president and a year later, he defeated advocate Vikas Singh.
Out after only contributing 3 runs to Team India's first innings score in the third Test against Australia, Virat Kohli put in the hard work to redeem himself in the remainder of the contest. Kohli continued his poor form with the bat, as he was removed by Josh Hazlewood on Day 3 of the Brisbane Test. However, on Day 4 of the match, Kohli was spotting hitting the nets, putting extra effort to rediscover his form and contribute better in the second innings.
