Rishabh Pant Has A Face Full Of Cake Inside Dressing Room On His Birthday. See Pics

India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant didn't have the most memorable outing in the 3-match T20I series against South Africa, where he got to bat only once in three matches. Though India emerged triumphant 2-1, Pant would've liked to do a little more in the series. Opening the batting for the team in the final match of the series at Indore, Pant, who was celebrating his 25th birthday, didn't quite click with the bat. But, the defeat in the game didn't spoil celebrations in the dressing room, both for the series triumph and the stumper's birthday.

"Were Playing Like Kids": Ex-Pak Star Slams Selectors Post Loss To England

Former Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal slammed the selectors after the Babar Azam-led side slumped to a series defeat against England on home soil last week. Leading the series 3-2 at one point, Pakistan were outclassed in the last two games of the seven-matches, conceding the series 3-4. While highlighting Pakistan's middle-order issues, which have been evident since the start of the Asia Cup, Ajmal angrily suggested that the selectors could instead look at unfit players who can bat with some intent.

Australia vs West Indies, 1st T20I Live Updates: Kyle Mayers has provided a flying start to West Indies after the visitors were asked to bat first by Australia.

"Deepti Was Never Thinking About Bowling That Ball": Anderson On Charlie Dean's Run-Out

Former England pacer James Anderson has said that running-out the non-striker when he or she is backing up too far ahead when the bowler has not even delivered the ball is not a "legitimate dismissal" in his opinion.
