Mumbai fast bowler Tushar Deshpande, who plays for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL), made history on Tuesday as he slammed a brilliant century at No. 11 during the Ranji Trophy match against Baroda. Deshpande ended up scoring 123 off 129 balls - the highest score by an Indian No. 11 batter in first-class cricket. The record previously belonged to Shute Banerjee who scored 121 while batting at No. 11 for India during a tour match against Surrey during the tour of England in 1946.
Australia star opening batter Usman Khawaja has said that they are focused on winning games and it will automatically help improve their position in World Test Championship. Australia are gearing up for their two-match Test series against New Zealand, which will kick off on Thursday at the Basin Reserve. In the WTC rankings, New Zealand sit at the top with three wins and a loss, which translate into 36 points and a point percentage of 75.
Lalchand Rajput might have been forgiven for seeing the fixture list for his first assignment as UAE coach and thinking he was set for an easy introduction.
Ishan Kishan, star Indian cricket team wicketkeeper-batter, finally made a return to competitive cricket at the DY Patil T20 Cup on Tuesday. Ishan Kishan's absence from competitive cricket made big news since he opted for a break midway into India's Tour of South Africa. Since then, he was ignored for the home T20 series against Afghanistan and the Test series against England. Indian cricket team coach Rahul Dravid made it clear that he has to play some form of cricket to make a comeback to the national side.
Ollie Robinson's Test future is in doubt after a disappointing outing in Ranchi but England head coach Brendon McCullum has backed the out-of-form Jonny Bairstow to make an impact in Dharamsala, where he will play his 100th game. Bairstow is the only English batter yet to play a significant knock in the Test series against India. The rubber is already out of England's reach but runs from Bairstow's bat will be more than welcome. His highest score in eight innings thus far is 38, which came in the first innings of the Ranchi Test.

On Monday, Indian cricket team star Hanuma Vihari brought forward some serious allegations against one of his teammates in the Andhra Pradesh team, saying he has been "humiliated" and "lost self-respect." Vihari was one of the main architects in India's memorable Border-Gavaskar Trophy triumph in Australia in the 2020021 season. Though he is currently out of the Indian cricket team, Vihari remains one of the most well-known names in the domestic circuit. Vihari hit out at a team-mate (son of a politician) who he alleged had asked his father to take action against him after the veteran player shouted at him during a match.
