"Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Will Not Play 2027 ODI World Cup": Sunil Gavaskar's Blunt Verdict

Both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma looked set to feature for India in the whites on the tour of England, probably for the last time in their careers, but a call to quit the format even before the series began stunned everyone. With the duo already retired from T20 internationals, the only format in which they will be seen wearing the India shirt is ODIs. While Virat Kohli has publicly expressed his desire to play in the 2027 World Cup, the importance Rohit gives to the 50-over World Cup is matched by none. Yet, Indian cricket great Sunil Gavaskar doesn't think playing the 2027 World Cup is practically possible for Rohit and Virat.

Knicks take a 3-1 lead over the Celtics with a 121-113 victory as Tatum is injured in final minutes

NEW YORK: Jalen Brunson had 39 points and 12 assists, and the New York Knicks moved a win away from their first Eastern Conference finals appearance in 25 years and pushed the defending champion Boston Celtics to the brink of elimination with a 121-113 victory Monday night in Game 4. The Celtics will have to make the NBA’s 14th comeback from a 3-1 deficit to extend their title reign and may have to do it without All-Star Jayson Tatum, who was carried off the court with a right leg injury with 2:58 left. Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns each added 23 points and OG Anunoby bounced back from two poor performances by scoring 20 for the Knicks, who can win the series Wednesday night at Boston. If not, they would come back to Madison Square Garden to try to do it Friday night. Tatum scored 42 points, his high in these playoffs, before he was hurt when the Celtics turned the ball over and his leg gave out as he tried to lunge forward toward the loose ball. The Knicks had taken control just before that in front of a delirious crowd of fans who haven’t seen them play in the conference finals since they lost to Indiana in 2000. Nobody has come from 3-1 down since Denver did it twice in 2020 at the Walt Disney World resort.

Gautam Gambhir To Enjoy 'Rare' Power After Virat Kohli Exit. Report Says "He Was Categorical..."

Greg Chappell's fall was spectacular when he tried to impose his authority while Anil Kumble could not deal with alpha male stardom but it seems Gautam Gambhir is on course to become that rare India head coach who will wield more power than the skipper. Indian cricket is replete with examples where powerful managers had to back out in front of player-power. Bishan Singh Bedi, Chappell and Kumble despite being champion players themselves didn't realise that they have to play the second fiddle. John Wright, Gary Kirsten and Ravi Shastri knew that and were immensely successful.
