Shane Watson feels Virat Kohli will be mentally and physically rejuvenated after a month-long break from cricket ahead of the Asia Cup, starting later this week. Kohli is enduring his worst phase of career and has not scored a century in international cricket since November 2019. The star batter will return to cricket after missing out the series against the West Indies and Zimbabwe.
Indian opener Shubman Gill has jumped a whopping 45 places to be ranked 38th in the ICC ODI rankings released on Wednesday. The 22-year-old youngster had a memorable outing in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe that also saw him scoring his maiden ton (130 off 97 balls) in the last game in Harare. Meanwhile, former Indian skipper Virat Kohli, who did not feature in the ODI series against Zimbabwe, held on to his fifth position with a rating points of 744.

Talented India batter Shubman Gill said former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh had told him to bat through once he is well set, an advice which paid off as he smashed his maiden ODI hundred during the third match against Zimbabwe here. Gill on Monday slammed 130 off 97 balls with the help of 15 boundaries and one six to steer India to a 13-run win and a 3-0 series sweep against Zimbabwe. His innings earned him accolades from several former players, including Yuvraj, who had taken to twitter to lavish praise on him.
Asia Cup 2022 is around the corner and all eyes are on Virat Kohli. The right-handed batter was rested for the series against West Indies and Zimbabwe, and now it would be interesting to see how he performs in the marquee event, especially against Pakistan on August 28 in Dubai. Ahead of the tournament, former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri said that Virat is a "machine", whose hunger and passion for the game remains undiminished.
India all-rounder Hardik Pandya is gearing up for the upcoming Asia Cup, starting August 27 in the United Arab Emirates. He and other senior players were rested during India's recently-concluded three-match ODI series in Zimbabwe to stay fresh for the continental event. Hardik on Tuesday shared a video on social media in which was could be seen imitating Jasprit Bumrah's bowling action and celebration style. While sharing the video on Instagram, Hardik wrote "How's the form, Boom?" with a laughing emoji.
The direct qualification road to ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 for the West Indies cricket team seems more distant now after two Super League points were deducted in connection with slow over-rate in the third ODI match against New Zealand. Pooran-led West Indies team was found guilty of not completing their overs in the allotted time and hence was penalized by docking two Super League points. The call was made by the match referee Richie Richardson even after allowances for the slow rate were considered.
Zimbabwe here. Gill on Monday slammed 130 off 97 balls with the help of 15 boundaries and one six to steer India to a 13-run win and a 3-0 series sweep against Zimbabwe. His innings earned him accolades from several former players, including Yuvraj, who had taken to twitter to lavish praise on him.
