Is It Too Early To Write Off Virat Kohli? Ex-India Star Says "Forget What..."

Former India batter Mohammed Kaif is hopeful of Virat Kohli regaining his form in the upcoming Champions League. The former India captain Kohli had a poor outing with the bat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, scoring only 190 runs in nine innings with the help of just one century. Kohli's recent form has raised concerns over his future in the team, but Kaif suggested it would be stupid to write the star batter off just yet. India will be playing its T20I matches in Dubai after refusing to travel to Pakistan.

Gupuks: The Khelo India Winter Games Venue Where Amateurs Become Professionals

Gupuks has evolved significantly - from a natural pond where beginners first attempt skating to a standard ice rink hosting national-level events like the Khelo India Winter Games. In Ladakh, summers are flooded with tourists, however as temperatures begin to drop, most tourist-based establishments shut down, and the cold limits outdoor activities. And with most sports taking a backseat and schools also being shut down during the winter months, Gupuks becomes the playground for everyone.

"No Smog...": Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri Roast Harry Brook After Varun Chakravarthy Scalps England Star

England's Harry Brook gave a bizarre explanation ahead of 2nd T20I against India in Chennai. He said that due to smog in Kolkata, it was difficult to play the spin of Varun Chakravarthy. "But with the smog the other night, it was a lot harder to pick. Hopefully the air is a bit clearer here and we can see the ball a bit easier. Facing spin in T20 cricket is probably the hardest thing in the game, especially because I always get out trying to absolutely smack it," he said.

The return of senior India stars to the Ranji Trophy circuit drew in a lot of fan following, and it was evident with a sizeable crowd present at Mumbai's BKC Ground, as the likes of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal played. For Rohit Sharma, it was a return to domestic cricket after nearly 10 years, but it did not go to plan, as Mumbai lost to underdogs Jammu and Kashmir. However, just how much pull Rohit alone brings to a game was evident when a fan invaded the pitch to try and meet him.

India's leading wicket-taker of 2024, Arshdeep Singh, has been named the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year at the ICC Awards on Saturday. The left-arm pacer starred as India ended their wait for a major ICC trophy win with victory in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 in the Caribbean and USA back in June, and has gone on to cement his reputation as one of the leading powerplay and death bowlers in the game. The 25-year-old has long been tipped for the top, and India put a great deal of faith in his ability since making his full international debut in 2022. And 2024 was the year when Arshdeep fully established himself as a world-class bowler in T20 International cricket, taking bucket-loads of wickets with the new ball and proving to be consistently economical at the death on a variety of surfaces.
