Dimuth Karunaratne, the skipper of the Sri Lankan cricket team, is being trolled on the internet for responding to an old tweet from commentator Harsha Bhogle. The gaffe happened after India completed a resounding victory over Sri Lanka in the second Test, winning the series 2-0.
Jasprit Bumrah, India's pace bowling spearhead, was praised by former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop after the former's performance in the recently concluded Test series against Sri Lanka at home. Bumrah claimed 10 wickets in the two Tests in Mohali and Bengaluru which also included his first five-wicket haul in India. India won the first Test by an innings and 222 runs and followed it up with a 238-run victory in the second. Bumrah's superb five-for came in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test where he knocked over the Sri Lankan batting line-up with clever changes in pace and lengths.
Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne fought a lone battle as the visitors suffered a crushing 238-run defeat to India, and also conceded the two-match series at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. It was a dominating outing for Team India as they maintained their unbeaten record against Sri Lanka at home in Test cricket. Karunaratne, however, received a lot of praise for his knock of 107 in the fourth innings of the match. Even the crowd in Bengaluru made a huge roar after the southpaw registered his 14th Test ton on Day 3 of the day-night Test.
Immediately after leading the side to a 2-0 series win over Sri Lanka at home in Tests, captain Rohit Sharma joined the Mumbai Indians (MI) camp ahead of the start of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Mumbai Indians posted a video of Rohit's arrival where he was seen being greeted by head coach Mahela Jayawardene and other members of the support staff. However, this rendezvous began on a hilarious note as Jayawardene was quick to spot the "grey hair" on Rohit as he made a comment relating to the captaincy responsibilities of the Indian cricket team as well. "He has got more grey hair after beginning captaincy," joked Mahela as the Sri Lankan shook hands and shared a hug as the duo embark on another journey to reclaiming the IPL crown from defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Aim is to reach final but player management crucial, says Rohit SharmaBENGALURU: With a comprehensive 2-0 win over Sri Lanka in the home Test series, India may have climbed to the fourth position in the World Test Championship standings, but the road ahead for Rohit Sharma's men is arduous. Currently, Australia top the table with 77.77 % (56 points) with four wins and a draw. They are followed by Pakistan (66.66%; 40 points), South Africa (60%; 36 points) and India (58.33%; 77 points). India have six wins, three losses and two draws, with their chances of making a bigger impact in the nine-team table being dealt a huge blow when they lost the three-match series 1-2 against hosts South Africa earlier in the year.
Former Pakistan skipper Salman Butt hailed Team India's performance in the recently-concluded Test series against Sri Lanka. India thrashed Sri Lanka by 238 runs in the day-night Test in Bengaluru, taking the two-match series 2-0. It was an all-round performance from the Rohit Sharma-led side and Butt was impressed by India's dominant show in both the departments. While highlighting the difficulties of batting on a "rank-turner" pith, Butt praised India batters Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant for giving their team a launching pad.
Skipper Babar Azam cracked a fighting century with great support from opener Abdullah Shafique Tuesday as Pakistan thwarted Australia's hopes of a quick win in the second Test in Karachi. Set a daunting 506-run target, Azam knocked his sixth Test century -- and second against Australia -- to guide Pakistan to 192-2 and raise hopes of an improbable victory, or even a fighting draw. At the close Azam was unbeaten on 102 and Shafique 71 as the pair added 171 for the third wicket, leaving the home team needing another 314 runs in the 90 overs of the final day for a win, or bat out three sessions for the draw.
