The match referee for the 2nd ODI between India and South Africa, Javagal Srinath, was central to a funny incident that took place in Ranchi on Sunday.

Rohit Sharma-led Team India is currently in Australia for the 2022 T20 World Cup, starting October 16. The team started its training on Friday. Meanwhile, a video of Virat Kohli is being circulated on social media in which the right-handed batter could be seen training hard in the nets ahead of the mega event. The short clip has Kohli playing a pull shot first up before playing a glance shot on the next ball and then executing a drive to perfection.
Dave Sampson was busy packing for a flight from the UK back home to South Africa when a golf magazine landed in front of him. A competition to design a golf hole had caught his friend’s eye, and he urged Sampson to enter and indulge a passion that had until that point been nothing but a distraction from the more traditional building architecture work that was paying his bills.
Dan McFarland was left counting the cost of Ulster's seven-try victory over the Ospreys after a number of key players were forced off with injuries.
Former chief selector Saba Karim feels Rishabh Pant remains India's first choice wicketkeeper, despite the presence of Sanju Samson and youngster Ishan Kishan. While suggesting that Samson can play in the team as a pure batter, Karim believes that Kishan hasn't made the most of the opportunities given to him by the management. Karim further pointed out that Pant has the X-factor, which gives him an edge over Samson and Kishan. He also backed Pant to retain his place in the team in both red and white-ball cricket.
The weather situation on Saturday here much resembled the condition of the Indian teams – the one that has left for the T20 World Cup and the ‘second-string’ side playing the ongoing ODI series against South Africa. With each passing day, injury concerns grow for the team management. This series may not be as significant from India’s point of view, given that the first-choice players are already training Down Under. However, in terms of finding Jasprit Bumrah’s replacement for the ICC mega event, the ODI series could have been the ideal stage. Even as it looks like Mohammed Shamiis the first-choice replacement for Bumrah, Deepak Chahar has impressed with his fine bowling in the T20I series. That could have just proved to be enough for the management to think of Chahar’s case if Shami misses the bus.
