Harmanpreet Kaur Rises To 9th, Smriti Mandhana Remains 4th In Women's ODI Rankings

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur climbed to the joint ninth spot while opener Smriti Mandhana remained fourth in the latest ICC Women's ODI rankings, released in Dubai on Tuesday. Kaur, who played an important part in her team's six-wicket victory over New Zealand in the third ODI of their ICC Women's Championship series in Ahmedabad, had slipped three slots after the first two matches. However, her 59 not out off 63 balls pushed her back into the top 10. Left-hander Mandhana, who won the player of the match award for her knock of 100, added 23 rating points to reach a tally of 728, just five less than Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu in the list led by Natalie Sciver-Brunt of England with 760 rating points.

"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.

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.

Gautam Gambhir Changing Rahul Dravid-Era 'Pitch' Tactic Led To New Zealand Defeat? Report Says...

The Indian cricket team has faced a lot of criticism after suffering a 0-3 whitewash against New Zealand in the recently-concluded Test series. The Rohit Sharma-led side was completely outplayed by the visitors and the humiliating results have also put head coach Gautam Gambhir in an uncomfortable position. According to a report, the BCCI will be discussing the series loss in detail and one of the topics will be the pitches used in Pune and Mumbai. During the tenure of Rahul Dravid as head coach, India decided to stop making rank turners in home Tests. However, Gambhir reportedly went back to the tactic despite resistance from part of the team management and India ended up losing both games.

"No One Has Done It": New Zealand Great Ross Taylor On 3-0 Series Whitewash vs India

Former captain Daniel Vettori termed New Zealand's 3-0 Test series win on Indian soil as his country's greatest achievement while ex-batter Ross Taylor said he did not think of a clean sweep even "in our wildest dreams". India suffered a humiliating series whitewash after losing the third match by 25 runs to New Zealand in Mumbai on Sunday, the first time in their Test history, which goes back to 1933. New Zealand had come to India after being thrashed 0-2 by a Sri Lankan team that is in transition. The Black Caps were also without their biggest batting star, Kane Williamson, thanks to injury.

India played four ODIs on January 21, 24, 27 and 31 at Nagpur, Chennai, Cuttack and Vadodara. On February 1, four members of that team -- Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan, Ajit Agarkar and Sourav Ganguly were all taking a flight from Vadodara to Mumbai.

This was the 71st time the Baggy Greens made Pakistan taste defeat in the format, which is the joint-most highest tally by any team.

"Terrible...": Sunil Gavaskar's Blunt 'Numbers' Verdict On Gautam Gambhir's Stint As India Coach

India great Sunil Gavaskar has said that the results speak for themselves when it comes to judging new head coach Gautam Gambhir's tenure so far. Gambhir has been at the helm for less than six months, but has already witnessed two series losses. First, India lost an ODI series in Sri Lanka, in what was Gambhir's second series in charge. Then, India got whitewashed 3-0 in a home Test series for the first time ever, by New Zealand. Gavaskar gave his verdict on Gambhir.
