Former Australia captain Michael Clarke believes India's young all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has been underrated throughout the BGT series and rooted for his promotion in the batting order. Nitish has introduced himself to the world with swagger in style in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In the first innings of the Boxing Day Test, when India found itself reduced to 191/6, Nitish set the MCG ablaze with a memorable performance. He toyed with Australian bowlers and delivered a swashbuckling performance in 'Pushpa' style to celebrate his fifty. He didn't slow down from there, instead upped the ante to convert it into his maiden Test ton.

Shreyas Iyer Will Be "Hurt": Sunil Gavaskar Warns KKR Of Payback As Ex-Captain Returns To Eden Gardens With PBKS

Shreyas Iyer, former Kolkata Knight Riders captain, will be back at the Eden Gardens - this time as Punjab Kings skipper for an IPL 2025 match on Saturday. Iyer was instrumental in leading KKR to its third IPL title in 2024. Even after that title-winning run, Iyer was not retained. After KKR's decision, Iyer had said: "Yes, obviously disappointed, because when you don't have a certain line of communication and if you get to know things one week prior to the retention date, then obviously something is lacking over there. So I had to take a call. Whatever is written is supposed to happen. But other than that, I would just like to say that the time I spent over there with Shah Rukh Sir, the family, all of them, was phenomenal."
