On Rohit Sharma Not Retiring From ODIs, Ricky Ponting's Clear Verdict: "Goal In Mind..."

Australia legend Ricky Ponting believes Rohit Sharma is still going strong and a sense of unfinished business was behind his decision to continue playing and leading India in the 50-over format until the 2027 ODI World Cup to be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Barring the ODI World Cup, Rohit has won all ICC titles while captaining India. He came agonisingly close to laying his hands on the 50-over world title at home in 2023, only to lose to Australia in the final.

"Going To Be Disrespectful...": New KKR Mentor Dwayne Bravo Sent 'Message' To Gautam Gambhir. Here's Why

Charismatic West Indian Dwayne Bravo, who replaced Gautam Gambhir as mentor at Kolkata Knight Riders, on Thursday said he will mix some elements from the former KKR strategist's blueprint with his own distinct style for a successful campaign in the upcoming IPL.

But I think GG had his style, I have my style. We're both successful in our own ways," Bravo said, making it clear that while he respects Gambhir's legacy, he will bring his own methods to the role.

"Most Comfortable At...": Amid Demotion To No. 6 For Team India, KL Rahul Makes Preferences Clear

It is the position I am most comfortable in and the one that feels most natural to me," Rahul said.

Star Australia Pacer Reignites Champions Trophy 2025 'Unfair Advantage' Row: "When One Team..."

Australian cricket team star pacer Mitchell Starc believes that India had a clear advantage during the Champions Trophy 2025 as they played at just one venue. India played all of their matches in Dubai after the government did not allow the cricketers to travel to Pakistan for the competition.
