Gautam Gambhir's Huge Captaincy Announcement Amid Rohit Sharma's Paternity Leave Debate

India head coach Gautam Gambhir attended a press conference on Monday before the team's departure for Australia for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Team India is slated to play a five-match Test series against the mighty Aussies in Down Under, in order to keep their slim World Test Championship final hopes alive.

Gautam Gambhir Still Uncertain On Rohit Sharma's Availability For 1st Test vs Australia

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir refused to confirm if skipper Rohit Sharma will miss the opening Test against Australia in Perth. "There is no confirmation. We'll let you know.

Hat-trick hero Ferguson says 'insane' T20 win massive for NZ

"It's A Joke...": Pakistan Legends Fume Over India's Champions Trophy 2025 Stand

Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi on Sunday initiated talks with senior government officials to discuss future course of action after ICC conveyed to PCB about India's unwillingness to tour the country for next year's Champions Trophy. The PCB confirmed that it received an e-mail from the ICC regarding India's reluctance to travel to Pakistan for the marquee tournament, even as Naqvi had earlier turned down a 'Hybrid Model'. “Mohsin Naqvi, who is the federal interior minister, is in touch with government officials and the wait is now on what directives the Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif gives,” a PCB official said. The official expressed his disappointment over India's stand despite Pakistan promising full-scale security for the visitors during the ICC showpiece.

Hardik Pandya Faces Huge Trolling For "Enjoy From Other End" Message To Arshdeep Singh

Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya faced massive trolling on social media for his message to Arshdeep Singh during the second T20I encounter against South Africa on Sunday. India suffered a massive batting collapse but Hardik played a rather slow knock of 39 from 45 deliveries to steady the innings. During his stay at the innings, he ended up batting with Arshdeep who played 6 balls and scored 7 runs. In the 19th over of the innings, Arshdeep took a single and the stump-mic caught Hardik saying "Enjoy from the other end now". That is exactly what happened as Hardik played the remaining 10 balls of the innings.

Sanju Samson Registers Embarrassing Record After Two Consecutive T20I Tons

Sanju Samson registered an embarrassing record after the Indian cricket team opener was dismissed for a three-ball duck during the second T20I encounter against South Africa in Gqeberha on Sunday. Samson was high on confidence ahead of the match as he became the first Indian ever to score two consecutive centuries in T20Is. However, his stay at the crease was quite short on Sunday as he was clean-bowled by Marco Jansen. This was Samson's fourth duck in T20Is in 2024 - the most by any Indian batter in a calendar year. Yusuf Pathan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli all had 3 in a single year.

Apart from the team's performance, captain Rohit Sharma's availability is also expected to be discussed during the conference.

Rohit Sharma, BCCI Sent 'Wake Up Call' Ahead Of Border-Gavaskar Trophy

India's recent whitewash at the hands of New Zealand at home has put the Rohit Sharma-led side's hopes of reaching the World Test Championship (WTC) final in doubt. With the team set to face Australia in a five-match Test series, starting later this month, Rohit and his men need to win at least four games to qualify for the WTC final without depending on other results. However, former India all-rounder Ajay Jadeja has backed the team to beat Australia in Australia once again.
