Yuvraj Singh feels that the side could have declared in the Multan Test against Pakistan after legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar had completed his double hundred. On March 29, 2004, during the second day of the Test, Virender Sehwag became the first Indian to score a triple-century in Test cricket with a blistering knock of 309. But what became a huge talking point was stand-in skipper and current India head coach Rahul Dravid opting to declare the first innings at 675/5 in 161.5 overs.
England's new Test skipper Ben Stokes featured for Durham at Worcestershire, while former skipper Alastair Cook made his 71st first-class century as Essex made a solid start against Yorkshire on Thursday. Cook compiled his runs against a Yorkshire attack featuring the occasional off-spin of Joe Root, who recently stood down as England captain after succeeding the left-handed opener. The 37-year-old Cook, who played the last of his 161 Tests in 2018 before retiring from international duty, made 107 from 268 balls.
Pakistan international Shaheen Shah Afridi's purple patch with the ball continued in the ongoing County Championships as he aided Middlesex to get an early wicket yet again in their ongoing match vs Sussex at The 1st Central County Ground in Hove on Thursday. Afridi disturbed the woodwork of Sussex opener Tom Haines with a beautiful out-swinger for 17 runs. The ball, that seemed to have pitched just short of good-length, seamed away after pitching and knocked over the top of off-stump as the left-arm pacer burst into his trademark celebration.
IPL 2022 has seen several top Indian stars in action for more than a month now and the form of some players could be of worry for the Indian team management in a World Cup year, but that of so many others is encouraging too. India has depended heavily on its top order to deliver the goods in limited-overs cricket and it was the lack of runs from them in last year's T20 World Cup that cost the team a place in the semi-final.
The 90 players who have been selected to play in the first FairBreak Invitational in Dubai might each have reason to feel a slight sense of apprehension before their tournament debuts.
Following the disappointment of their shock exit from the T20 World Cup in the UAE last year, India have made a dramatic turnaround and that is reflected in the International Cricket Council's rankings for the format.
England have dropped a place to number six in the International Cricket Council’s Test rankings, leaving new captain Ben Stokes in charge of a side with their lowest points total in 27 years.
