Robert Key will need to grow a "thick skin" akin to the Dukes ball just like I grew one to counter the "jealous people", former India head coach Ravi Shastri said on how the ex-England opener should go out about his job as ECB's 'Director of Cricket'. Shastri was at helm of India's coaching staff between 2014 to 2021, save one year in the middle when Anil Kumble was given the charge. In an interview to UK's 'The Guardian' newspaper, Shastri said that there was a "gang of people in India" who always wanted him to fail. Just like Shastri, Key has also been an acclaimed commentator for a long time and doesn't have a coaching degree as he tries to ease into a new and very different role. "I didn't have coaching badges [either]. Level one? Level two? **** that. And in a country like India, there is always jealousy or a gang of people willing you to fail. I had a thick skin, thicker than the leather of the Dukes ball you use. A real solid hide.

Virat Kohli deserves more respect and will fight his way out of an alarming slump which hit a new low when he suffered a second successive golden duck in the IPL, fellow cricket stars say.
Punjab Kings' all-rounder Rishi Dhawan, who was playing his first Indian Premier League (IPL) match after a long gap of almost six years, grabbed everyone's attention by sporting a face-shield while bowling against Chennai Super Kings on Monday. The 32-year-old Dhawan was picked by Punjab Kings in the IPL 2022 mega auction for Rs 55 Lakh after his impressive performance in the domestic circuit with Himachal Pradesh. He led his team to the historic Vijay Hazare Trophy last year. On his IPL comeback, the seamer had a decent outing with the ball for Punjab. He first cleaned up the in-form batter Shivam Dube (8) in his second over and then dismissed MS Dhoni in the last over of the innings, helping Punjab beat CSK by 11 runs on Monday.
Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Shah Afridi are two of the modern-day great pacers and whenever they have the ball in hand, the batters cannot breathe easy. Both bowlers have the capability of making their sides win on their own and these two are the vital cogs of their respective teams' bowling attacks. Former Pakistan pacer Aaqib Javed, however, has said that Bumrah has "fewer threatening performances" than Shaheen and the latter's graph is on the rise.
