"Will Be A Great Test": Ex-India Star Warns Rohit Sharma And Co Ahead Of New Zealand Clash

Former India batter Ambati Rayudu feels that Virat Kohli returning to form in the Champions Trophy has given added impetus to their already strong batting line-up. Rohit Sharma-led India have reached the semi-final of the eight-team tournament after securing consecutive wins against Bangladesh and arch-rivals Pakistan in Group A. Kohli struck a match-winning century against Pakistan and contributed 22 against Bangladesh in their opening match. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill has been firing in the top order and struck a century against Bangladesh before playing a knock of 46 against Pakistan. He has amassed 147 runs in the tournament so far.

"To End India's Spin Domination": R Ashwin Attacks ICC Over ODI Rule Change

Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin is against the usage of two new balls and five fielders outside the circle in One-Day Internationals. He has urged ICC to get rid of the them in order to make cricket an even contest between bat and ball. He has also raised concerns over the future of ODI cricket if these two rules continue to exist. "Before this Afghanistan versus England match, I was wondering whether there is any future for ODI cricket. Let's be very honest with it. In T20Is, there is so much crowd engagement, and consumption is high because it ends inside four hours. I feel Test cricket will excel more once the first-class structure of teams like Afghanistan improves," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel Ash Ki Baat.
