Agni Chopra's Dream: Playing Ranji Elite Division After Big Start With Mizoram In Plate League

Currently, Agni Chopra's First-Class average stands at a box office 99.06 and it has attracted as much, may be even more, attention as some of the biggest Bollywood chartbusters his father has produced. In only nine games since his debut in the Ranji Trophy Plate league for Mizoram earlier this year, Agni, son of Bollywood filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra and film critic Anupama Chopra, has garnered 1585 runs with eight fours and four fifties. The beginning of this filmy sequence started in January this year when he debuted with a 166 against Sikkim at Nadiad, and from there on Agni has not stopped scoring runs in tons, literally.

"Engage In Constructive Self-Criticism": Punjab Kings Pacer Arshdeep Singh's Mantra To Improve

Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh, who has evolved into a death-overs specialist since bursting on to the scene, has attributed his success to constructive self-criticism and steadily improving by half a percent after every game. The 26-year-old Arshdeep, who plays for Punjab Kings in the IPL, picked up the important wickets of Sai Sudharsan and Sherfane Rutherford in his team's 11-run victory over Gujarat Titans in their only match so far this season. On how he has evolved over the years, Arshdeep told JioHotstar: "The key is to improve by 1% to 1.5% after every game, every day — whether the performance was good or bad. I've always believed that the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.

Sunil Joshi Wants India's Test Batters To Play More Domestic Matches

Sunil Joshi, the former India spinner who was chief selector during the 2-1 Test series win in Australia in 2020/21, believes the current Test team batters should play more domestic cricket matches, claiming that it would aid them in getting their run-making groove. India recently suffered a 3-1 Test series loss in Australia, where captain Rohit Sharma made just 31 runs in five innings, while Kohli, despite hitting an unbeaten century in India's 295-run win in Perth, made only 190 runs across all five matches.

With legendary off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin announcing his retirement, 26-year-old spin-bowling all-rounder Tanush Kotian has been reportedly selected to join Team India's squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Although an official announcement is yet to be made, reports suggest that Kotian is set to depart for Australia on Tuesday and join up with the rest of the squad, ahead of the fourth Test in Melbourne from Boxing Day. But who is Tanush Kotian? And why has he been picked over more recognized names like Yuzvendra Chahal or Axar Patel?

"Waited For 10 Years": Sanju Samson's Emotional Confession After Heroic Durban Century

In the form of his life, Sanju Samson has truly turned his world around with his brilliant consistency across formats. In his last six competitive games, the wicket-keeper batter has scored three hundreds, including one in the Duleep Trophy, hitting a purple patch that he arguably never did in his career before. Samson's 107 off 50 balls against South Africa, his second T20I hundred in as many matches after his 111 against Bangladesh last month, has helped him to partially brush off the tag of an underperformer.

Suryakumar Yadav's Blunt Reply When Asked About CSK Star's Absence From India's T20I Team

As India's T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav addressed the media in a pre-match press conference, ahead of the first T20I against South Africa on Thursday, he had to answer some tricky questions. One such question was on the absence of Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad from India's T20I side. Over the last year or so, Gaikwad has emerged as one of the finest batters across all formats. Be it red-ball or white-ball cricket, Gaikwad's performances in India's domestic spectrum have impressed one and all. Yet, he continues to be on the sidelines when it comes to national selection.
