Former England captain Nasser Hussain was all praise for Shreyas Iyer after the Indian batter silenced his critics with the bat during the Cricket World Cup match against Sri Lanka on Thursday. Amid talks of his possible exclusion from the playing XI for the game, Iyer played a quickfire knock of 82 to take India to a big total of 357/8. He was the third Indian batter to miss his century on the night, with Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill also falling short early on.
India cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid described Virat Kohli, who is celebrating his 35th birthday on Sunday, as a legend of the game and that his performance had set the benchmark for his generation of players. Former India skipper Kohli has scripted countless records in the sport across formats and continues to do so, including in the the ongoing World Cup. Speaking to ICC, Dravid said, "Virat's a legend of the game, especially (in) this format of the game. I think all formats of the game, but particularly this one (50-over), I think his performance and the way he finishes games. The standard of his performance over the years has probably set a benchmark for his generation of cricketers."
Virat Kohli, the star Indian cricketer turned 35 on Sunday, and the whole cricket fraternity poured him with birthday wishes starting from the former skipper's former teammates, Yuvraj Singh to Virender Sehwag. Former India opener Virender Sehwag took to his X account and wished Kohli on his 35th birthday. While wishing Sehwag wrote that century runs in Kohli's veins. Sehwag further wrote that Kohli's work ethic, passion, hard work and talent helped him to rule the game.
