The David Warner vs Mitchell Johnson saga caught the entire cricketing world off guard. Seeing Johnson oppose David Warner's selection in the Australian Test team for the Pakistan series, as well as his 'hero's sendoff', many Aussie cricketers have tried to neutralise the controversy. Even South Africa great AB de Villiers reacted to the controversy, asking the Australia duo to sort the feud themselves and not let the spat get dragged on in public. De Villiers also feels that this isn't the end of the saga yet.
Pakistan Test skipper Shan Masood, Babar Azam and Sarfaraz Ahmed were involved in a hilarious conversation regarding an outing after the end of day's play during the ongoing warm-up match against Australia's Prime Minister XI in Canberra. In a conversation captured on the stump mic, the trio can be heard talking about the outing plan in the middle of the match which ends with Babar breaking down in laughter. “Hum time se ready ho jayenge gaye (We'll get ready on time)," Masood said. “Ap time peye aa jana, aap log 3 log log honge na (Please come on time, you'll be three guys, right?," Sarfaraz said. “Aa teeeja kera aa gaya (Where did the third one came from?)," Babar remarked leaving all of them in splits.
Virat Kohli was in sublime form at the Cricket World Cup. The former Indian cricket team captain became the first player in history to scored over 700 runs in a single edition of the ODI Cricket World Cup. In 11 matches, Virat Kohli scored 765 runs at an average of 95.62. Virat Kohli also scored three centuries and six half-centuries. However, Virat Kohli's batting did not fully impress several like former Pakistan captain Mohammed Hafeez.
Heartbroken following the loss against Australia in the Cricket World Cup 2023, the Indian team witnessed none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi paying them a visit in the dressing room. With his visit PM Modi tried to lift the morale of the players, including veterans like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. While many encouraged PM Modi's decision to attend the final interaction with Indian players following the bitter result in the summit clash, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's 'panauti' jibe in an election rally triggered a huge controversy.
Ones, twos, threes, fours, and sixes are common scoring figures on a single delivery in cricket. But, getting a 'seven' is extremely rare. In the practice Test between Australia's Prime Minister's XI and Pakistan, Matt Renwshaw did the unthinkable as he reached his half-century by scoring a '7'. It wasn't, however, all skill from the Australia batter as luck did favour him in a big manner, pushing him to the 50-run mark in a manner that became a talking point on social media in no time.
David Warner brushed off scathing criticism from former teammate Mitchell Johnson over his selection for Australia's Test series against Pakistan, saying on Friday: "Everyone's entitled to their own opinions."

ICC match referee and former Zimbabwe batter Andy Pycroft, however, rated the outfield as "very good". Australia had won the World Cup final after beating India by six wickets on a pitch which was slow and sluggish.
