The esteemed batting pair of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma brought up another record, becoming the fastest pair in world cricket to score 5,000 runs in ODIs. The Kohli, Rohit pair went past West Indies' Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes in the process. The Windies duo had reached the landmark in 97 innings. Kohli and Rohit reached the 500-run mark in the Asia Cup Super 4 match against Sri Lanka on Tuesday.
India captain Rohit Sharma registered an all-new milestone as he went past the 10,000-run mark in ODI cricket. Rohit became the second-fastest Indian to have scaled Mt. 10k, with Virat Kohli leading the charts. Rohit reached the milestone in 241 innings while Kohli had done so in 205 innings. Following Rohit are the likes of Sachin Tendulkar (259 innings), Sourav Ganguly (263 innings) and Ricky Ponting (266 innings).
Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli took a leaf out of his Royal Challengers Bangalore teammate AB De Villiers to play a surprisingly audacious shot during the Asia Cup 2023 match against Pakistan on Monday. In the final over of the Indian innings, Kohli was looking to score some quick runs and his shot selection left a lot of fans surprised. On the penultimate ball of the over, he moved across to the off stump to make room for himself but at the last moment, changed his decision. Instead, he opened the face of his bat to guide the full-toss delivery towards the third-man for a boundary.
After India clinched their biggest victory over Pakistan in ODIs in a match of the Super Four stage of the Aisa Cup, BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla praised Team India and said that the win was "beyond people's imagination". Fiery centuries from Virat Kohli and KL Rahul followed by Kuldeep Yadav's five-wicket haul powered India to 228 runs win over their traditional rival Pakistan at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Monday.
Pakistan cricket team batter Agha Salman sustained an injury that left his face bloodied during the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match against India on Monday. The right-handed batter tried to sweep a delivery from Ravindra Jadeja but the ball bounced and took the top edge of his bat before hitting him straight on the face. He was visibly in pain after the incident and the wound started bleeding as the Pakistan physio rushed onto the field. KL Rahul was one of the first ones on the field to quickly check on him after the incident and his gesture has quickly gone viral on social media following the incident.
At the end, it was worth the wait for Indian cricket team fans. A one-day match that spilled over to two days, due to rain in Colombo, provided the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team an opportunity to test their mettle against world No. 2 ODI side Pakistan. And, they ticked the all right boxes. The India vs Pakistan Super 4 clash has always been billed as the 'Big One'. The special status of the India vs Pakistan match can be gauged from the fact that it was the only Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match that was given a reserve day. Although controversial, the move helped the fans see a full India vs Pakistan ODI game over two days.
Virat Kohli's supreme fitness was evident in his 47th ODI century while comeback man KL Rahul produced an equally engaging ton on comeback as India thrashed a listless Pakistan by record 228-run margin in a rain-marred Super Four game of the Asia Cup on Sunday. This is India's biggest win in terms of runs against the cross-border neighbours. India posted an imposing 356 for 2, as Kohli (122 not out off 94 balls) and Rahul (111 not out off 106 balls), which was his sixth ODI hundred, pummelled a hapless Pakistan, whose chase ended at 128 for 8 as Kuldeep Yadav (5/25) scythed through them.
Hardik Pandya came up with a brilliant delivery to get rid of Babar Azam during the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match between India and Pakistan on Monday. Babar looked extremely uncomfortable against the swing bowling of Jasprit Bumrah but it was Pandya who ended his stay at the crease. In the 10th over of the Pakistan innings, Pandya was able to produce a sharp in-swinging delivery that went right through Babar's defense and crashed into the stumps. Babar could only manage to score 10 runs off 24 deliveries and he was left visibly dumbstruck by the ball that Pandya produced for the wicket.
