Former India cricketer MS Dhoni has provided a huge update on his knee injury and his expected return to the Indian Premier League (IPL). During a recent interaction with media, Dhoni said that he is doing well after the knee surgery he went through in early June this year. He added that the doctor told him that he would be feeling "much better" by the end of the year. The news comes out as a big boost for the Dhoni fans, who are hopeful of the wicketkeeper-batter playing at least one more IPL season before bidding adieu to the game of cricket as a player.
There is no doubt that Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar are among the greatest cricketers. Though both of them are the players of different eras, the fans, cricket experts and former cricketers could not keep themselves away from comparing the two batting giants. Tendulkar kicked off his international cricket career in 1989 and concluded it in 2013, while Kohli made his debut for the senior men's cricket team in 2008 and continues to be a crucial pat of the team.
England batter Joe Root named India's stalwart batter Virat Kohli as the "greatest chaser of all time" ahead of their upcoming clash in the World Cup on Sunday at Lucknow's Ekana stadium.

However, with their backs against the wall and faced with a do-or-die battle, the Three Lions will go all out to pull off a victory against the hosts. The defending champions hold a 4-3 lead over the Men in Blue in head-to-head encounters in ODI World Cups.
Rivalries exist in every sport but it isn't often that fans see rivals respecting each other's game.

Babar, who himself is considered as one of the finest batters in the world, explained what he likes the most about superstars like Kohli, Rohit, and Williamson who have been serving their respective countries for a long time.
