"This Is Not Badminton Or Tennis...": Kapil Dev's Brutal Response On Jasprit Bumrah's Injury

World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev on Friday expressed concern over the rising number of injuries among Indian cricketers, attributing it to the demanding schedule that keeps players in action for almost 10 months each year. The National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru has turned into a rehabilitation hub, with players spending more time recovering than training. The latest casualty being India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah who was forced to sit out of the second innings of the final Test in Sydney due to a back injury. Initially named in the Champions Trophy squad, Bumrah has now been ruled out.

"Taking Wives On Tour Not Wrong, But...": Kapil Dev's Blunt Take On BCCI's Diktat

Former India captain Kapil Dev has shared his views on star batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's recent return to domestic cricket. Both Kohli and Rohit played a match each for their respective sides in the Ranji Trophy, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) making it mandatory for players to feature in domestic circuit. While Kohli last played for Delhi in 2013, we would also have to go a decade back for Rohit's last Ranji appearance for Mumbai.

"Being Big Stars Doesn't Mean...": Kapil Dev's Sharp Message To Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Ahead Of Champions Trophy

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, two of the biggest players in Indian cricket right now, are at the proverbial crossroads of their career. Their class is unquestionable but their current form is not. Both the senior stars have had a tumultuous run after the T20 world Cup 2024. They have already retired from the shortest format and now question marks are being raised on whether they should continue in the other formats too. Rohit is few months short of 38, while Kohli celebrated his 36th birthday a few months ago.

Kapil Dev's Blunt Message To Rohit Sharma Ahead Of Champions Trophy: "If Captain's Form Is Poor, Team Will..."

Rohit Sharma's last 10 innings in international cricket (across formats) read - 2, 3, 9, 10, 3, 6, 18, 11, 0, 8. Merely by looking at the scores one can deduce that something is not right with the Indian cricket team captain, once one of the most prolific batters in the world. Forget a century, the last time Rohit was able to cross the 50-run mark was in October 2024. While on-field performance has been poor, Rohit has been reportedly battling off-fiield issues too. There have been reports of rift in the Indian dressing room with multiple reports claiming that we might be seeing the last few months of Rohit Sharma in international cricket if things don't improve drastically.

Ravindra Jadeja Achieves Huge Milestone, Only Four Other Indians Have Done It

During the first ODI against England at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium on Thursday, Indian left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja completed 600 international wickets across all formats. Jadeja snapped three wickets in his spell of nine overs where he conceded just 26 runs and bowled one maiden overs. The 36-year-old took the wickets of Joe Root, Jacob Bethell, and Adil Rashid in his spell. With these three wickets, the Saurashtra-born player completed the 600-wicket mark and became the fifth player to do so. The other players to achieve the same landmark were leg-spinner Anil Kumble, off-spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh, and all-rounder Kapil Dev.

Amid Scrutiny, Coach Gautam Gambhir Gets 'Slightly Temperamental' Tag From Kapil Dev

Gautam Gambhir replaced Rahul Dravid as head coach of the Indian team in July last year, with the latter bowing out in style as the Rohit Sharma-led side won the T20 World Cup in Barbados. Fans had a lot of expectation from Gambhir, especially after he earned the credit of successfully masterminding Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)'s return to the summit. However, fast forward to January 2025, Gambhir's stint as head coach has turned out to be rather controversial.
