The legendary Kapil Dev wondered if Virat Kohli was indeed rested or ignored for the upcoming five T20Is against the West Indies, hinting that the word "dropped" may have been avoided as he "is not an ordinary" cricketer. Kohli's lean run is now into its third year, the modern-day great last scoring an international century in 2019, something that recently prompted Dev to say that the team management can't go by reputation only. The former India skipper will not feature in the the five-match T20I series against the West Indies, to be played in the Caribbean and the United States from July 29.

Ever since New Zealand legend Brendon McCullum took over as the head coach of the England men's Test team last month, 'Bazball' has become the buzzword among cricket fans. Playing an aggressive brand of cricket, England notched a commanding 3-0 win over New Zealand at home and followed it up with a record chase against India in the rescheduled 5th Test. While McCullum himself has labelled it a "silly term", 'Bazball' is surely becoming a part of cricketing lingo, especially when it comes to playing aggressive knocks in red-ball cricket.

A large number of Indian fans were seen chasing him, some were even seen clicking running selfies while the others kept pace with the security personnel surrounding him to get a glimpse of their idol.
