"Like Facing Spinners": Virender Sehwag On Third And Fourth Pakistan Pacers In Multan Test

"Unfortunately...": On ODIs Losing Popularity, Cheteshwar Pujara Says This

In an age where T20 franchise leagues are mushrooming throughout the world, several experts have felt that the real loser in the scenario is ODI cricket. Ever since the retirement of England all-rounder Ben Stokes from ODIs, many are speculating about the future of the 50-over format. A lot of former cricketers have also expressed their concern over whether ODI cricket is adding any value to the international calendar or not. Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri has even gone to the extent of backing calls for reducing the number of overs in ODIs, saying ODIs have been played for 50 overs for far too long.

Cheteshwar Pujara Completes 5,000 runs In List A Cricket

Pujara unleashed a rare side of him during his side Sussex's match against Middlesex, smashing 132 runs in just 90 balls with 20 fours and two sixes. He was striking runs at a great strike rate of 146.66.

It is still too early to compare Babar Azam with one of all-time greats Virat Kohli: Wasim Akram

Virat Kohli has struggled for runs over the past two years but Pakistan legend Wasim Akram feels the former India captain remains one of the all-time greats and comparing Babar Azam with him is still a bit premature. All eyes will be on Kohli when India meet Pakistan in their Asia Cup opener in Dubai on Sunday. Kohli will come into the match with a fresh mind having taken a break for the away series against the West Indies. While Kohli has gone through an extended lean patch with no hundred since November 2019, the much younger Babar seems to be at the peak of his powers and doing well across formats. "First of all let me start by saying that criticism from Indian fans against Kohli has been unnecessary. He is one of the greatest of all times not just this era. He still fit as a fiddle. He is still one of the best fielders in the Indian squad. "As they say class is forever and that is Virat Kohli. Hope he doesn't come back to form against Pakistan but he will come back eventually," said Akram in a press conference organised by Star Sports, the official broadcaster for Asia Cup.

"On Right Track, But...": Former Pakistan Captain On Virat Kohli-Babar Azam Comparisons

Asia Cup 2022 is just around the corner and fans are eagerly waiting for the group stage clash between India and Pakistan in Dubai on August 28. It would be interesting to see how both teams perform. Ahead of the tournament, Pakistan were given a body blow as Shaheen Shah Afridi was ruled out of the tournament and the PCB named Mohammad Hasnain as his replacement. India would be without Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel but the regular stars such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya will all be back.
