World Cup final referee Wayne Barnes has announced his retirement.
The crowd at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai were left shell-shocked as Rohit Sharma was dismissed early during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Sri Lanka on Thursday. The Indian cricket team skipper has been enjoying a great run of form in the ongoing tournament but he was clean bowled by a superb delivery from Dilshan Madushanka. Rohit tried to guide the ball towards the covers but it held its line and completely breached his defense. As a result, his off-stump was left cartwheeling as the crowd fell silent in the very first over of the Indian innings.
Indian cricket stalwart Virat Kohli is only days away from turning 35. While Kohli's birthday plans are aligned with Team India's ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign, his fans and well-wishers are hopeful of seeing the iconic batter equal Sachin Tendulkar's record for most ODI tons (49) on his special day. When Pakistan wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan was informed of Kohli's birthday on November 05, he too hoped to see the batting stalwart get his ODI century No. 49.
