Rohit Sharma's Test Journey: An Average Middle-Order Batter To A Fine Opener

Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from Test cricket and bid farewell to a fine career which was divided into two distinct halves. He was a very mediocre middle-order batter for the first 27 matches of his Test career with a batting average of just under 40. However, just like in ODI cricket, his fortunes changed dramatically when he was pushed to open for the country. From the Visakhapatnam Test of 2019 till the Dharamsala Test of 2024, Rohit - the Test batter averaged 50 and was not only one of the premier openers in the world but also the leading batter for India in the format.

"Quiet And Empty...": Pakistan Great's Huge Remark On Virat Kohli's Test Retirement

Former Pakistan cricketer and ex-PCB chairman Ramiz Raja paid a heartfelt tribute to Virat Kohli on Monday, moments after the Indian batting legend announced his retirement from Test cricket. Kohli, one of the most iconic figures of the modern game, brought down the curtains on a red-ball career that has redefined India's cricketing identity over the last decade. His numbers speak for themselves: 123 matches, 9,230 runs, 30 centuries, 31 half-centuries, and an average of 46.85. But it's the intent, aggression, and pride with which he played that will be remembered more than just the milestones. Speaking to IANS, Raja said, “With his retirement, modern day Test cricket will feel quiet and empty, as he was its best spokesperson.”

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.
