"Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma's Condition Is Like Babar Azam": Ex-Pakistan Star Draws Blunt Parallel

Indian cricket team star batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have come under a lot of criticism following their side's 0-3 series defeat against New Zealand. Both superstars failed to impress with the bat as the Indian cricket team lost three consecutive Test matches in the series. While Rohit finished the series with 91 runs an average of 15.16, Virat scored 93 runs at an average of 15.50. Former Pakistan cricket team star Basit Ali was extremely critical of the duo and he said that both of them are struggling in the same manner as Babar Azam.

Virat Kohli, Babar Azam To Play In Same Team? This Tournament May Return After 2 Decades

The Afro-Asia Cup, last held nearly two decades ago, is on the verge of revival as the Africa Cricket Association (ACA) considers an alliance with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to resurrect the series. The ACA, which convened its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday, has set an ambitious agenda, including restructuring the association and expanding competitive opportunities across the continent. At the top of its list is rekindling the Afro-Asia Cup and launching a new T20 league — the Africa Premier League — modelled on the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Afro-Asia Cup is a unique cricket series that features teams from Asia and Africa, bringing together players from cricketing powerhouses and developing nations alike. The tournament has only been held twice, in 2005 and 2007, and has not seen a third edition since, despite strong initial fan support.

"India Can't Beat Australia 4-0": Sunil Gavaskar's Mega Prediction With WTC Final Spot At Stake

Legendary Indian batter Sunil Gavaskar has made his prediction for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia. India need to win at least four Tests out of their remaining five in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle to guarantee qualification to the final without having to rely on other results. Gavaskar has stated that he does not believe Team India will be capable of beating Australia 4-0 in Australia. However, Gavaskar also mentioned that India's focus should be solely on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and not on the possibility of making the WTC final."India cannot beat Australia 4-0 in the Test series, I'd be very, very I'd be over the moon. If they do that, I would be over the moon if they do that. But 4-0. India can win 3-1, 4-0 is... don't talk about the World Test Championship final. Now just focus on trying to win the series in Australia. Never mind whether you win 1-0,2-0,3-0, 3-1,2-1. But go and win. Because that is how all of us Indian cricket fans are going to be back to feeling good again," said Gavaskar, speaking to India Today.

"Sold For Rs 50 Crore...": Ex-Pakistan Star's Big IPL Take On India Batter

Former Pakistan cricket team star Basit Ali was all praise for Rishabh Pant and said that the India wicket-keeper batter should be sold for Rs 50 crore in the IPL 2025 Auction. Pant was the only shining light in India's performance as they slumped to a massive loss against New Zealand in the third Test encounter in Mumbai. Following the loss, Basit said that Pant looked the track look 'flat' when he was batting and said that although media reports are claiming that he can go for Rs 25 crore in the auction, his shot selection puts him in another level and the bidding for him should go up to Rs 50 crore.

Rohit Ridiculed, Pant Hailed: How NZ Media Reacted To Team's 3-0 Series Sweep Against India

New Zealand won their first Test series when they beat hosts Pakistan 1-0 in three matches in 1969 under Graham Dowling. But it was only in the 1980s and 1990s that Kiwi cricket took off, and they beat the visiting West Indies and India between 1979 and 1981. Fast forward to 2024, New Zealand became the first team in the history of the game to whitewash India in a 3-0 match series in their own home. Understandably, India's triumph tops it all when it comes to New Zealand's cricket history, especially considering that they were beaten 2-0 in Sri Lanka during the build-up.

Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen recently took to X to express his concerns about the declining quality of batting techniques in Test cricket. Pietersen highlighted the shift in focus towards aggressive, boundary-centric play, which he believes has led to a deterioration in traditional batting skills. "No one should be surprised by the lack of batting application and technique in Test Match cricket. Cricket is a 'smackers' game now and there is a disintegration of Test Match batting skill in the game. When it comes to playing spin, the only way, spend time playing against it for hours and hours and hours. There's no quick remedy!" Pietersen tweeted.
