KOLKATA : Pat Cummins is unsure whether he will continue as Australia's one-day international captain after the World Cup but is looking to return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) next season in preparation for the Twenty20 showpiece.
India captain Rohit Sharma has made the Cricket World Cup 2023 his own, giving the team excellent starts right at the start of the innings, no matter which bowling attack he came across. Rohit's exploits at the top have played a big role in India's superlative show in the World Cup. In fact, Pakistan greats Wasim Akram and Shoaib Malik even pointed out what separates Rohit from other top stars like Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Babar Azam.
The camaraderie between Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli is quite well known with the two Indian cricket team stars sharing several light hearted moments on the field. One such incident happened during India's practice session ahead of the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Netherlands. Gill was doing jumping kicks to warm up but he ended up doing it very close to Kohli. The veteran batter, who was walking with his bat in his hand, was startled by the sudden movement but he found it funny and even threatened to jokingly hit Gill with his bat. The video of the incident has gone viral on social media.
NEW DELHI: India’s Virender Sehwag, Sri Lankan batsman Aravinda de Silva and pioneering Indian women’s captain Diana Edulji have been inducted into cricket’s Hall of Fame, the game’s governing body announced Monday.
Indian cricket team stars Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli all turned into bowlers in their team's massive win over Netherlands in the Cricket World Cup 2023 on Sunday. India had already qualified for the semi-finals and with a massive total of 410 on the board, skipper Rohit decided to try out almost all of the part-time bowling options at his disposal. India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey was asked about the bowling show in a video posted by BCCI on social media and he sounded extremely pleased with the part-time bowlers' planning and execution on the field.
Former India captain Ravi Shastri is also famous for his lively commentary and presentation during cricket matches. In that case, there is no wonder that many aspire to develop communication skills like that of Shastri. Copying the commentary style of the ex-India star is not an easy task but it seems that former New Zealand player Ian Smith has mastered the art. During India's Cricket World Cup match against Netherlands, Smith, while sitting in the commentary box, copied the style of Shastri leaving the latter and another ex-India player Anjum Chopra in splits.
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja surpassed iconic spinner Anil Kumble and became India's leading wicket-taker as a spinner in a single World Cup edition but Kuldeep Yadav is breathing down his neck as he is also close to claiming the record. India played their final group-stage match against the Netherlands and emerged victorious to keep their unbeaten run intact. Jadeja scalped two wickets against the Dutch side which took his tally of wickets in the World Cup 2023 to 16 wickets.
Enjoying each other's company in a lively dressing room atmosphere has been possible due to good results and vice-versa is also true, said skipper Rohit Sharma after yet another clinical performance that took Indian team's victory count to nine on the bounce. India ended their World Cup league stage beating the Netherlands by 160 runs here on Sunday, and skipper Rohit described their campaign so far as a clinical one.
