Rohit Sharma Equals MS Dhoni, Kapil Dev's Embarrassing Feat With Loss In 2nd Test vs Australia

Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma joined an embarrassing list as his side slumped to a 10-wicket defeat against Australia in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide on Sunday. The visitors were completely outplayed as the match lasted for just seven sessions and it was Rohit's fourth consecutive Test defeat as captain. As a result, he equalled the unwanted feat achieved in the past by MS Dhoni, Datta Gaekwad and Kapil Dev. During his stint as captain, Sachin Tendulkar lost five Test matches on the trot while legendary cricketer MAK Pataudi is at the top of the list with six defeats as captain in Test cricket.

His knock consisted of 11 fours and runs came at a strike rate of 81.53. This was Root's 36th Test century, matching him with Dravid's tally. Root has the highest amount of centuries by an England batter.

"Prithvi Shaw Is His Own Enemy": India Star's Ex-Coach Minces No Words In Brutal Rant

Former India batter Pravin Amre has urged out-of-favour star Prithvi Shaw to lose 10kgs of his body fat. Amre, who has worked with Shaw during his time at Delhi Capitals, feels that the batter must need to focus on fitness if he wants to make a comeback. Once deemed as the 'next Sachin Tendulkar', Shaw has fallen out of favour both internationally and domestically. He was recently dropped by Mumbai for the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, owing to poor fitness. Amre also labelled Shaw "his own enemy", saying that no one can help him if he doesn't help himself.

"Maybe He Didn't Have Talent In...": Rahul Dravid's Old Assessment Of Vinod Kambli Resurfaces

After a video of Vinod Kambli's recent public appearance came to the fore, an old clip of Rahul Dravid sharing his views on the definition of 'talent', while mentioning Vinod Kambli's name, has resurfaced on social media. Kambli, a childhood friend of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, was one of the most-talked about cricketers when he arrived at the scene, but he failed to maintain the stature.

Seeing former India cricketer Vinod Kambli struggle to get up, speak clearly and properly conduct himself during a recent event, many fans' hearts were broken. Once deemed one of the finest talents to have been produced by India, Kambli doesn't seem to be in the best of physical state.

"Lose Between 7 To 10 Kgs": Prithvi Shaw Sent 'Complete Overhaul Message'

Prithvi Shaw is certainly going through the toughest time in his cricket career. The right-handed batter, once touted to be the "next Sachin Tendulkar", could not find any takers at the IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia held last month. The 2018 U-19 World Cup-winning captain was seen as the next big thing in Indian cricket, but his downfall in the past few years has taken him out of consideration for the Indian cricket team. Shaw was even dropped from Mumbai's Ranji Trophy squad before going unsold at the IPL auction at a base price of Rs 75 lakh. He is currently playing for Mumbai in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy but has failed to impress with his game so far.

"He Wasn't Drunk...": On Vinod Kambli's Viral Reunion With Sachin Tendulkar, Old Friend Clears Air

One video that went viral from the unveiling of legendary cricket coach Ramakant Achrekar's memorial in Mumbai, had two of his famous students - Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli - meeting after a long time. Kambli, who played with Tendulkar in school, state and national teams, looked very frail. He got very emotional as he met Tendulkar, who retired as one of the greatest cricketers ever. Kambli started playing for the national team a few years after Tendulkar and had a great start to his career too. But soon, his form took a downward spiral. Kambli did play 17 Tests and 104 ODIs but could not leave a big mark.
