Virat Kohli is all praise for skipper Rohit Sharma for the kind of "communication" he has had with him which has helped him stay relaxed and return to his "original template". Kohli finally got his 71st international hundred in the inconsequential final Super 4 Asia Cup game against Afghanistan and the BCCI.TV had the current and former captain engaged in some serious chat and occasional banter after the game. "We will learn from these Super 4 games (Pakistan and Sri Lanka) as to where we have gone wrong. There was clear communication from the management. The space that you gave me made me feel relaxed. So when I came back (after break), I was excited about what I could contribute to team," Kohli told his "interviewer" Rohit.

Since his heroics in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Rishabh Pant has become a fan favourite for Indian cricket team fans. But it's not been all plain sailing in the past for the wicketkeeper-batter with critics constantly after him and fans lashing out at him for his inconsistency. He also faced intense competition from Wriddhiman Saha for away Tests, with the latter also starting in the first Test against Australia in December 2020. But ever since his 89-run knock at the Gabba, which handed Australia their first loss at the venue in 32 years, Pant has gone on to become an automatic selection and is also being touted as a future national team skipper.
