These are most notable on the Asian subcontinent where increased tensions threaten to cause further fissures in the rivalry between India’s and Pakistan’s cricket teams.
Virat Kohli is among the best batters the world of cricket has ever seen. The player made his India debut in 2008 and never looked back since then. With hard work and consistent performance, Kohli turned out to be a nightmare even for the greatest bowlers who played against him. While his sensational run in international cricket continued, Kohli also kept shinging in the Indian Premier League. No doubt, Kohli's value has increased in multiple folds in the last 17 years due to his terrific performances in international cricket and IPL. However, the player tries to maintain that his stature doesn't impact his bond with his old friends.

Very few in India can claim to have played cricket and captained the national team like Rohit Sharma, said legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev after the batting maestro announced his retirement from Test cricket with immediate effect. The 38-year-old was India's most prolific Test batter in the second half of his career, scoring 4301 runs in 67 Tests with 12 hundreds and 18 half centuries at an average of 40.57. "He did a wonderful job, played good cricket. Over the period of time, the way he conducted himself, the way he captained and most importantly the way he played his cricket — because in India, very few played cricket like this," said Kapil in an exclusive interview with PTI videos.
India's Test and ODI captain until Wednesday, Rohit Sharma, dropped a bomb on fans all across the globe as he decided to quit the longest format. Rohit's announcement came as a big surprise, as the batter had expressed his intentions of leading the team on the tour of England multiple times. Just as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had begun drawing the squad selection plan for the England tour, Rohit decided to call it quits. What transpired behind the scenes wasn't made public, but it has been reported that the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee wasn't keen on giving the captaincy responsibility to the Hitman.
Rattled by multiple Indian military strikes in Pakistan, the country's Cricket Board has called an emergency meeting to discuss whether the ongoing Pakistan Super League, which features a number of foreign players, should be halted. The T20 league, which features six franchises and is in its final stages, is currently being staged in Rawalpindi. It is scheduled to wind up on May 18 in Lahore. A reliable source in the Board said the PCB would follow the advice from the government on continuing the league and it would be holding discussions later on Thursday.
