"Overweight, Flat Track Bully": Ex-South Africa Star Launches Brutal Attack On Rohit Sharma
It has been a tough few months for Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma. In the last seven matches since the start of the Test season against Bangladesh, India have managed to post a 250-plus total just four times and a major reason behind that has been the poor show from Rohit and Virat Kohli. Rohit (142 runs in six Tests) has struggled massively and his fortunes did not change in the second Test match against Australia where he once again left experts and fans disappointed. In an interview with Insidesport, former South Africa cricketer Daryll Cullinan launched a brutal attack on Rohit as he called the India captain 'overweight' and a 'flat-track bully' while adding that he is not a "long-term option".
Niroshan Dickwella Cleared To Play All Forms Of Cricket Following Ban For Doping
Sri Lanka's Niroshan Dickwella, who was banned for three years due to alleged anti-doping violations, has been cleared to play cricket across all formats, according to the ICC. The 31-year-old cricketer received a three-year suspension after testing positive for a prohibited substance during a random anti-doping test. The ban, imposed by the Sri Lanka Anti-Doping Agency (SLADA), took effect in August 2024. However, Dickwella appealed the ban and submitted evidence to demonstrate that no banned substances were consumed during the "competition period" and that the identified substance was unrelated to "enhancing sports performance."

First Time In 51 Years: Smriti Mandhana Scripts Never-Before-Seen Record
Smriti Mandhana scored her fourth ODI century of 2024 during India's defeat to Australia at the WACA. This remarkable achievement set a new all-time record for the most centuries scored in a calendar year in women's ODIs, according to Wisden. Mandhana's innings came as India chased 299, a target set by Australia thanks to Annabel Sutherland's 110 off 99 balls, with Ashleigh Gardner and Tahlia McGrath also contributing half-centuries. Despite losing her opening partner, Richa Ghosh, early--bowled by Megan Schutt--Mandhana stood out in an otherwise disappointing performance by the Indian batting lineup.
