New Zealand Star Names Two Indians Who Pose Maximum Threat In Test Series. Not Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Or Jasprit Bumrah

Top-order batter Rachin Ravindra said on Monday that nullifying the twin threat posed by senior spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will be crucial to New Zealand's success in the three-match series against India. Ashwin and Jadeja together have grabbed over 800 Test wickets, and are among the most experienced bowling pairs in world cricket at present. "They've got consistent bowlers who bowl in an area for a long period of time. I mean, you see the two spinners who play consistently, Ashwin and Jadeja, they're two very accomplished bowlers. You know, they can bat too, which makes it a little bit hard,” Ravindra told reporters on Monday.

Gautam Gambhir Silences Talks Around Virat Kohli's "Hunger" Ahead Of New Zealand Tests

India head coach Gautam Gambhir is not too concerned about the recent lukewarm form of Virat Kohli, insisting that the star batter remains as hungry as he was when he made his debut and should not be judged after every match. Kohli has made only one fifty, a 76 against South Africa at Centurion in December 2023, in his last eight innings, and him regaining his touch is crucial for India against New Zealand in a three-Test rubber starting on Wednesday and during the five-match series against Australia next month.

Pakistan Star, Who 'Has Better Record Than Virat Kohli', Slams Test Ton Against England

Pakistan cricket team batter Abdullah Shafique returned to form with a brilliant century on Day 1 of the first Test match against England in Multan on Monday. Shafique looked in tremendous touch as he slammed 102 off 184 deliveries before getting dismissed by Gus Atkinson. It was a significant knock for the Pakistan cricketer who scored three ducks in the last three matches. Even Pakistan skipper Shan Masood was asked about Shafique's form but he defended his teammate with a reference to India batter Virat Kohli. Masood pointed out that after 19 Tests, Shafique's record was actually better than Kohli.

On Rohit Sharma Replacing Faf as RCB Skipper, AB de Villiers' Blunt Kohli Response

With the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction approaching, star batter Rohit Sharma's future at Mumbai Indians (MI) remains a mystery. Rohit was removed as captain by MI last season, with the franchise appointing Hardik Pandya as the new skipper, following his trade from Gujarat Titans (GT). However, the decision to appoint Hardik was received a lot of backlash with fans suggesting that the decision was a disrespectful towards Rohit, who led MI to five IPL titles. While MI finished last in the points table, reports suggested that there is a rift between Hardik and Rohit.
