The highly anticipated India v Pakistan clash at the T20 World Cup lived up to its billing as a tense battle until the 20th over of second innings gave fans everything they could have hoped for.
Star India spinner Ravindra Jadeja lodged another achievement to his name as he dismissed England Test skipper Ben Stokes in the second session of Day 3 of the third Test of the five-match series at Niranjana Shah Stadium on Saturday. Jadeja dismissed Stokes for 41 when the Three Lions' score was 299 amd became the fifth Indian to complete 200 Test wickets in India after legendary bowlers Anil Kumble (350), Ravichandran Ashwin (347), Harbhajan Singh (265), and Kapil Dev (219).

Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood heaped praise on his Indian Premier League (IPL) teammate Mohammad Siraj for his recent performances for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2023. This season Siraj was a completely different version of himself. His preciseness in the powerplay and exhibiting control over his line and length in the death was one of the most noticeable transformations he went through over the past year. As Hazlewood missed the majority of the IPL action due to an injury, Siraj did not let RCB feel his absence for a minute.
Virat Kohli will be among the first batch of India players to leave for the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia in London, departing in the wee hours of Tuesday. Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore teammate Mohammad Siraj will also board the same flight, a day after their team was knocked out of the IPL. Spinners R Ashwin and Axar Patel, and all-rounder Shardul Thakur, will also be on the flight as well as the team's support staff led by Rahul Dravid. The final will be played at the Oval from June 7-11.
Virat Kohli lit up the dead rubber with an epic 166 not out, his third century in four innings, as India annihilated a clueless Sri Lanka with a record 317-run win in the third ODI to sweep the series here on Sunday. Skipper Rohit Sharma (42 off 49) and Shubman Gill (116 off 97) shared a fluent 95-run opening partnership before Kohli (166 not out off 110) propelled India to a daunting 390 for five with his 74th international hundred and 46th in the 50-over format. Sri Lanka succumbed to the high quality fast bowling of Mohammad Siraj who struck four times inside the 10 overs to shut the door on the opposition.
The second-string Indian team would look for some stability from its openers as the hosts aim to punch above their weight and seal a memorable series victory against South Africa in the third and final ODI in New Delhi on Tuesday. After going down narrowly in the series-opener, the might of the Indian white-ball depth was in full display as the hosts won the second ODI comfortably to level the three-match series 1-1. But the Indian think tank would be a little concerned about the opening pair of captain Shikhar Dhawan and young Shubhman Gill.
