Rohit Sharma was on Tuesday named captain of the ICC ODI Team of the Year, which featured five other Indians including star batter Virat Kohli and the pace duo of Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj.

Did Virat Kohli Attend Ram Temple Pran Pratishtha Ceremony? The Truth Is...
Indian cricket team stalwart Virat Kohli was expected to visit Ayodhya for the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the Ram Temple on Monday.

"Someone Like Rohit...": Mark Wood Reveals Strategy To Dismiss India Captain
England fast bowler Mark Wood on Tuesday said taming Rohit Sharma with judicious use of short-pitched balls will figure highly in his and the team's plans to edge past a dominant-at-home India in the upcoming five-match Test series. The first Test is scheduled to begin here from Thursday, and Wood said the nature of pitches, even if slow, could abet the strategy. "Yeah, the conditions will be assessed once I am out there, and bumps (bouncers) are rarely bought out here. But the pitch sometimes can be two-paced and, if it is slow, it can help (bowlers) because the batters will be through with the shot," Wood said in a press conference.

India vs Syria Live Streaming Asian Cup Live Telecast: Where To Watch Match
India vs Syria AFC Asian Cup, Live Streaming: India will be going up against Syria in their last group stage match of the ongoing AFC Asian Cup on Tuesday. A 0-2 and 0-3 defeat to Australia and Uzbekistan laid bare India's inability to give strong competition to the top teams of the continent but a win against Syria can salvage some pride for the Sunil Chhetri-led side. Syria are currently ranked at 91st in the FIFA chart, 11 places above India (102nd) but a victory is not impossible for the Igor Stimac-coached side as they had won in the past -- in 2007, 2009 and 2012 Nehru Cup tournaments.
