'Nothing Shot, Bit Casual': Gautam Gambhir's Harsh Take On Virat Kohli's Dismissal To Shaheen Afridi

Much was expected of Virat Kohli in the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 clash in Pallekele on Saturday, but he did not deliver. Though the game got abandoned without a ball being bowled in the Pakistan innings, India were given a mighty scare after their innings folded on 266. Barring Ishan Kishan (82) and Hardik Pandya (87) none of the other batters could score big. Virat Kohli (4) and Rohit Sharma (11) were the major disappointments.

On Battle Against Shaheen Afridi, Rohit Sharma Gets Word Of Caution From Australia Great

Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden wants India skipper Rohit Sharma to negotiate Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi's first three overs with "caution" to avoid a fate similar to the 2021 T20 World Cup in the UAE.

No Kuldeep Yadav Or Yuzvendra Chahal! Matthew Hayden Picks India's 15-Member World Cup 2023 Squad

Former Australian cricket team opener Matthew Hayden named his picks for India's ICC World Cup 2023 squad and it had a couple of surprises. Hayden decided to include both Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson as wicket-keeping options with Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel being the specialist spinners. While KL Rahul was included, it seemed like he would operate strictly as a batter. On the other hand, both Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal did not find a place in the squad selected by the ex-Australia star.

"Must Be Tough...": Australia Great On Yuzvendra Chahal's 'Big' Asia Cup 2023 Snub

Former Australian cricket team opener Matthew Hayden called Yuzvendra Chahal's exclusion from India's Asia Cup 2023 squad 'big' and pointed out how tough it mush have been for the selectors considering they had another good option in Kuldeep Yadav. “There're some big omissions. Chahal in particular, that leg-spinner is such a superb player and (it) must be tough for the selectors because they've also got another one in Kuldeep (Yadav).... he's a superb player. So, they've gone for that as an option,” Hayden said. The explosive opener also backed young players Shubman Gill and Tilak Varma to make the opportunity count after they were named in India's squad for the Asia Cup.

Shivam Dube Leaves Deepak Chahar Out Of His All-Time Chennai Super Kings XI, Gets Challenged By Pacer

Indian all-rounder Shivam Dube picked his all-time Chennai Super Kings XI with most of major names making the cut. He went with Matthew Hayden and Michael Hussey as his openers followed by the duo of Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu. It came as no surprise that he chose MS Dhoni as the captain with Ravindra Jadeja, Albie Morkel and Dwayne Bravo as the all-rounder options. In the bowling department, he went with Harbhajan Singh and Lakshmipathy Balaji with himself as the fourth all-rounder option in the star-studded team. However, the one name that was missing from the mix was that of pacer Deepak Chahar and the long-time CSK cricketer was quick to react to this snub on Instagram.

Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma On Cusp Of History, Need 2 Runs To Achieve Landmark Feat

As the India vs West Indies ODI series star, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will have their sights set on an all-time record in the 50-over format. Together, the duo of Rohit and Kohli has done wonders for the Indian team, and now, they just remain 2 runs away from completing 5000 runs in ODI cricket as a pair. Going by the form Kohli has been in the 50-over format and the proficiency Rohit Sharma has shown in the Test series against Windies, the Hitman would also be eager to continue his hot form.
