Tim David should be in Australia XI for T20 World Cup: Adam Gilchrist

Adam Gilchrist and Mark Waugh believe Tim David must feature for the Men in Yellow at the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup but could not agree on the player he should replace. While David only scored 18 runs and two from the opening two matches of the three-match T20I series against India, the 26-year-old exhibited his top-class performance with a blistering half-century in the final game of that series in Hyderabad on Sunday. David smashed 54 runs in just 27 balls.

Rishabh Pant with his 'dare and courage' is a must in Indian starting line-up: Adam Gilchrist

Adam Gilchrist. There has been a debate on who among Pant and Dinesh Karthik should be in the starting line-up, and Gilchrist's vote of confidence is in favour of the much younger Pant. "The dare of Rishabh Pant and the courage in him, the way in which he takes on bowling attacks, I think he's got to be a must in that Indian line-up," Gilchrist was quoted as saying in an ICC release. "They (Karthik and Pant) can play together, but I think Rishabh Pant has definitely got to be in there." India included both Pant and Karthik in the 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia, but the former's underwhelming record in T20Is might go against him.

"Got To Be Must In Indian Line-Up": Adam Gilchrist Backs This Star To Feature In Playing XI

Wicketkeepers Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik have both been named in India's T20 World Cup squad, but it needs to seen whether there is room for both to feature in the playing XI. In the first T20I against Australia, the team management opted to go for Dinesh Karthik ahead of Pant. However, the move to not send Karthik after the fall of the fourth wicket in the 14th over, was criticised. Former Australia wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist has said that in his team both Pant and Karthik will feature.

"A Class Clown...": Brett Lee Reveals How Off The Field Glenn McGrath Was Exact Opposite Of His On-field Persona

Former pacers Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath were two of the most feared bowlers during their playing days. The duo dominated the Australian bowling line-up in the early 2000s. McGrath, who had a uncanny ability to be very consistent with his line and length, took 563 wickets in his Test career, while Lee scalped 310 Test wickets. Cherishing his memories with McGrath, Lee called him a laid-back character, who would always be playing "a practical joke on someone."
