"Just Gives Right Balance": On Virat Kohli's Batting Position At T20 World Cup, Ex-India Wicketkeeper Suggests Big Change

The century against Afghanistan at the Asia Cup could not have come at a better time for Virat Kohli. After facing question marks over his form, the former Indian cricket team skipper roared back to form in the continental event with two half-centuries and a ton.

With the T20 World Cup in Australia starting in little over a month's time, former India wicketkeeper suggested that Kohli should continue opening the innings along with captain Rohit Sharma.

Trolls could have put Arshdeep Singh in emotional turmoil, says Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin feels young left-arm pace bowler Arshdeep Singh might be in "emotional turmoil" after he was trolled relentlessly following him dropping a catch in the Asia Cup 'Super 4' match against arch-rivals Pakistan in Dubai recently. Fans took to social media to vent their ire against Arshdeep, when he dropped the catch with Pakistan needing 34 runs to win in two overs. In the 18th over of the match, Asif Ali tried to sweep Ravi Bishnoi, only to edge the ball as the skier went towards Arshdeep at short third-man. However, the 23-year-old medium pacer dropped the straightforward chance and Ali survived to pull the game back in Pakistan's favour. Virat Kohli later defended the young pacer, saying anyone could have made such a mistake during a high-pressure game.
