"If I Say Something...": Kapil Dev's Blunt Take On Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma's Retirement Talks

It is needless to compare two generations of players and pass a judgement on who was better, legendary cricketer Kapil Dev said on Monday and refused to get into a debate if BCCI selectors were right in excluding Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant from the T20I squad for the five-match series against England. Kapil bowled nearly 300 overs during the 1991-92 Test series against Australia and in the same rubber he became the first Indian to take 400 wickets in the traditional format apart from contributing with the bat in the team's cause.

The future of leading batter Virat Kohli stands in doubt as the player has been struggling with his form. Kohli, who has already called time on his T20I career, last played an ODI for India in August 2024. Meanwhile, his form in Test cricket has been really poor. In the most recent outing against Australia, Kohli failed to prove his worth with the bat. Despite a hundred in the opening game at Perth, he could garner only 190 runs at an average of 23.75 across five matches.

"Virat Kohli Didn't Like Ambati Rayudu, Cut Him From Team": Robin Uthappa

Former India star Robin Uthappa has attempted a fresh jab at current Team India star Virat Kohli, suggesting he cherry-picked players in the team during his captaincy reign on the basis of likes and dislikes. Uthappa, who has been making headlines of late with some bold comments, has claimed that Ambati Rayudu was left out of India's 2019 ODI World Cup team as Kohli "didn't like him". Rayudu's omission from the team came at the last minute, with all-rounder Vijay Shankar replacing him in India's World Cup squad, leaving the entire Indian cricketing spectrum baffled.

The suspense over the next captain of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) continues after the franchise decided to let go of their skipper Faf du Plessis ahead of the mega auction this year. While the franchise failed to buy readymade captaincy candidates from the auction, the name of the team's poster boy, Virat Kohli, has been doing rounds on the internet for the leadership role.

Star India batter Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma were recently spotted at the Gateway of India in Mumbai, Maharashtra.

"Can't Say Virat Kohli Got Out Because Gautam Gambhir Didn't...": Ex-India Star's Unfiltered Take

Virat Kohli's weakness outside the off-stump has become a big issue for him now. The batter clearly struggled with it during India's recently-concluded five-match Test series against Australia. Once the linchpin of India's batting, Kohli suffered a tough time Down Under, scoring just 190 runs at an average under 24, despite scoring an unbeaten hundred in the first Test in Perth. It was always the balls outside the off-stump that made Kohli's life miserable on the Australian soil. Former India cricketers like Sunil Gavaskar and Sanjay Manjrekar criticised the star batter, but also held the coaching unit responsible for the failure. Another ex-India player Aakash Chopra, however, differs in opinion.

Yuvraj Singh's Old Interview Goes Viral After Virat Kohli Gets Blamed For Cutting Short His Career

An old interview of former India player Yuvraj Singh has gone viral, after ex-batter Robin Uthappa held Virat Kohli indirectly responsible for cutting short the all-rounder's international career. In a recent interview, Uthappa claimed that Yuvraj's request for certain fitness concessions during his return to the team after beating cancer was denied by the then India captain Kohli. One of India's finest players in white-ball cricket, Yuvraj was one of the big reasons for the team's twin World Cup success under MS Dhoni's leadership, but after the title triumph in the 2011 ODI showpiece, he was diagnosed with cancer and was promptly treated for the same in the US.
