New Zealand opening batter Martin Guptill on Wednesday became the highest run-getter in men's T20Is as he played a knock of 40 runs in the first T20I against Scotland. During the course of this innings, Guptill surpassed India skipper Rohit Sharma, who has 3379 runs, to achieve this big milestone in the shortest format of the game. The right-handed Guptill now has 3,399 runs in T20Is, 20 runs more than Sharma.
Senior India batter Shikhar Dhawan on Wednesday moved up a place to joint 13th spot in the latest ICC ODI rankings on the back of his match-winning knock against the West Indies in the first match of the ongoing limited-over series. Dhawan, a left-handed batter, made 97 in the first ODI against West Indies last Friday at the Port of Spain. India won the game by three runs. Another India batter Shreyas Iyer, who struck back-to-back half centuries in the first two ODIs against the West Indies, moved up 20 places to the joint 54th among batters.
Indian top order batter KL Rahul will miss the entire T20I series against West Indies as he has been asked to take further rest after having tested positive for COVID-19 last week, sources in the BCCI told NDTV. Rahul had been recovering from an injury which had ruled him out of India's home T20I series against South Africa and the tour of England.
Virat Kohli's form with the bat has been the biggest talking point in Indian cricket for a while now and the former India captain's struggles off late have led to talks about his place in the team. It is a well document fact by now that Kohli has not scored an international century since November 2019, but he was still getting in good knocks in all formats after international cricket resumed in late 2020 and 2021.
On Tuesday evening, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant hosted a hilarious Instagram Live session along with teammates Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav and the session saw the cricketers interacting with some lucky fans. During the session, Pant tried to drag former skipper MS Dhoni into getting involved in the Instagram Live, but Dhoni turned off the phone.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma on Monday took to Twitter and posted a message in Gijarati for Axar Patel, who guided India to a thrilling win over West Indies in the second ODI. Axar scored an unbeaten 64 off 35 balls to guide the team to victory, which at one point looked almost impossible.
All-rounder Axar Patel said he used the experience he gained from the Indian Premier League (IPL) to secure his maiden fifty in one-day internationals that gave India a series-clinching victory in the second match against West Indies on Sunday.
India captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday shared a picture with former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh on Instagram. The two are all smiles as they hug each other in the picture. "Met my long lost friend after ages," Rohit captioned the picture, with a heart-eyes emoji. Yuvraj Singh responded to the picture and wrote "My brothaman". However, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh, who has played his fair share of cricket with both Rohit and Yuvraj, gatecrashed their bromance with a hilarious comment, trolling the latter.
