Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed's harsh criticism and fat-shaming of Team India captain Rohit Sharma has drawn a backlash on social media. In the comments section of her post on X, people have pointed to stats of India's performance under the leadership of Mr Sharma, often called Hitman for his batting prowess, to counter Ms Mohamed's remarks.
New Zealand pacer Matt Henry said India's familiarity with the conditions here helped them pick a suitable bowling unit as their spin quartet, particularly Varun Chakravarthy, kept his side under constant pressure during the Champions Trophy match. India, who are playing all their matches in Dubai, fielded Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel against the Kiwis on Sunday during their 44-run victory in the final Group A match. "I think, obviously, the way to have four frontline spinners was a really effective way to play. I think having that luxury of knowing (conditions)…they played to the conditions beautifully. That was probably the challenge for us," Henry said in the post-match press conference.
New Zealand will head into their Champions Trophy semi-final against South Africa with confidence intact despite suffering their first defeat of the tournament against India, paceman Matt Henry said.
Champions Trophy: After Team India won the match against New Zealand in the Champions Trophy, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly stated that India can win matches against any team and is a very strong team in white-ball cricket.
Former Indian Cricketer Deep Das Gupta anticipated Team India's victory in the champions trophy but also said it won’t be easy either. He said that the real champion trophy has begun now as teams that are coming now are comparatively strong.
India secured a 44-run victory over New Zealand in their final Group A match at the Dubai International Stadium on March 2. With this win, India finished as Group A toppers, setting up a high-stakes semifinal clash against Australia in Dubai on Tuesday.
Mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy shed light on his bond with former India ball tweaker Ravichandran Ashwin. He also revealed why captain Rohit Sharma said he doesn't bowl too many variations to the Indian batters during nets sessions. Ashwin and Chakravarthy spent time in the same dressing room at Dindigul Dragons in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2024. Before India's final group stage match against New Zealand, Ashwin prophesied that Chakravarthy would replace Harshit Rana, which eventually came true.
World number four Jessica Pegula powered to her first WTA title of 2025 on Sunday, beating McCartney Kessler 7-5, 6-2 in an all-American final in Austin, Texas. Pegula, the top seed, claimed a seventh WTA title and her first since she won the 1000 event in Toronto last year. That was one of Pegula's two titles in a 2024 campaign in which she also reached the US Open final. In Kessler she stopped a fast-rising talent, whose first two WTA finals had yielded a pair of titles -- in Cleveland last August and at Hobart in January.
