"Virat Remains World Class, One Of Greatest Cricketers Ever To Play The Game": AB de Villiers To NDTV

The form of Virat Kohli is being debated for a long time now, and it would be interesting to see how the right-handed batter goes about his business in the upcoming Asia Cup, after getting the much-needed break. Everyone knows what sort of friendship Kohli shares with former South Africa great AB de Villiers. The duo formed a formidable partnership while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. In an interview with NDTV, de Villiers spoke about the form of Virat Kohli, the impact of growing T20 leagues on international cricket, how he aims to help the underprivileged children in India and much more.

"Almost Passed Out...": South Africa Great AB de Villiers On Team's Fantastic Win Over England

South Africa inflicted upon England a crushing defeat under coach Brendon McCullum as they won the first Test by an innings and 12 runs with more than two days to spare at Lord's on Friday. England were dismissed for 149 in their second innings before Tea on the third day, with the Proteas effectively winning the game in six sessions after most of Wednesday's first day was lost to rain. Left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj struck twice before fast bowler Anrich Nortje followed up with a superb spell of three wickets for no runs in 10 balls as the visitors, leaders of the World Test Championship table, took a 1-0 lead in a three-match series.

"He Can Win Matches For England": Brendon McCullum Backs Out-Of-Form Batter

Despite his continuing failures at the top, England head coach Brendon McCullum continued to back opener Zak Crawley and said that he will stick with him for the second Test against South Africa in Manchester. Crawley could score only nine and 13 during England's shameful defeat by innings and 12 runs to South Africa in the first Test at the Lord's. In his previous ten innings, he has managed only 164 runs at a poor average of 16.40. He has scored no fifties in this run, with the best score of 46. But McCullum opines that patience must be shown to the under-scrutiny 24-year-old.

Struggling Zak Crawley likely to retain place after Brendon McCullum backing

Brendon McCullum threw his weight behind the struggling opener. Crawley managed scores of nine and 13 in the series opener at Lord's, in which South Africa triumphed inside three days by an innings and 12 runs. The 24-year-old, who averages 26 after 26 Tests, is now without a half-century in his last 14 innings, which has prompted calls for him to be dropped.

Stokes says England can recover from South Africa thrashing: 'We can't be great every day'
