Delhi Capitals Star Replaces Joe Root As No. 1 Test Batter; Jasprit Bumrah Remains Firm On Top Among Bowlers

Charismatic England batter Joe Root's reign at the top of the ICC Test batting rankings ended on Wednesday with compatriot Harry Brook taking the No.1 spot, while India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and spinner Ravindra Jadeja held on to their top positions in the bowlers' and all-rounders' charts respectively in the longest format. Brook, 25, overtook Root following his eighth Test century against New Zealand in Wellington last week, with the right-handed player now enjoying a slender one-point advantage over his more experienced teammate at the top of the latest ICC rankings.

Ex-Pacer, Once Victim Of A Sachin Tendulkar Rampage, Is Now A Painter In Australia

Former Zimbabwe fast bowler Henry Olonga is someone remembered fondly by Indians, for he was the victim of a Sachin Tendulkar rampage in 1998. Playing the final of a triangular series between India, Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, Tendulkar smashed 124 off 92 balls, taking Olonga to the cleaners. Over 25 years later, however, Olonga's life has taken an unprecedented turn. In 2019, Olonga went viral as he wowed judges in 'The Voice Australia' singing competition. Now, Olonga is a part-time painter for social causes, and was present during the second Test between India and Australia at Adelaide.

"Can't Look After...": Kapil Dev Willing To Help Vinod Kambli But On One Condition

India's iconic 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev has expressed his willingness to assist former cricketer Vinod Kambli, provided the Mumbai star takes the initiative to address his struggles. Kambli represented India in 17 Tests and 104 One-Day Internationals between 1991 and 2000, amassing 3,561 runs across both formats. Kapil Dev emphasised the importance of self-help as a starting point for meaningful rehabilitation. Speaking at the launch of the Vishwa Samudra Open, Kapil Dev, also the president of the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), said, "We are all (there) to support him. Sunil Gavaskar has already told me on behalf of the 1983 World Cup-winning team, and I extend my help on my behalf, but more than me trying to support him, he should support himself. We can't look after him if he does not want to look after himself," Kapil Dev said on Monday.

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.

Joe Root Equals Rahul Dravid's Big Test Feat With Ton vs New Zealand

England batter Joe Root equalled Indian batting legend Rahul Dravid to become Test cricket's fifth-highest century getter on Sunday. Root accomplished this feat during the second Test against New Zealand at Wellington. In the match, Root, after making just three in first innings, broke his string of low scores with a brilliant 106 in 130 balls in the second innings. 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.

To Help Vinod Kambli, Sunil Gavaskar And 1983 WC Team Come Forward: 'Like Our Son...'

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has promised to help ex-cricketer Vinod Kambli amid concerns over his physical and mental well-being. Recently, Kambli attended a function honouring the late Ramakant Achrekar, who coached him and Sachin Tendulkar at the Shivaji Park in Mumbai. Several videos went viral on social media where Kambli even struggled to get up, speak clearly, and properly conduct himself. Seeing his current condition, several fans raised concerns over the well-being of Kambli, who is also going through a financial crisis.

"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. Despite playing 104 ODIs and 17 Tests for India after making his debut in 1991, Kambli's international career could not last even a decade.
