"Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Would Want To Have Olympic Medal": Former Cricketer Atul Wassan

Former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan talked about how the T20 format presents an opportunity for teams to compete against strong cricketing nations in the Olympics and said that players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would like to have an Olympic medal in their trophy cabinet. In the recently concluded 19th Asian Games, India sent a relatively inexperienced team that claimed the gold medal.

Virat Kohli taunted Mohammad Rizwan for time-wasting and his clock gesture went viral during the India vs Pakistan match at the Cricket World Cup 2023 on Saturday. Rizwan came out to bat after Pakistan lost their second wicket in the form of Imam-ul-Haq and the wicket-keeper batter took quite a bit of time to get ready before facing his first ball. Kohli was not pleased with his antics and he took a jibe at the batter by pointing towards an imaginary clock on his wrist and insisting that he was wasting time. Time wasting can be a problem in the modern game as according to the new rules, if any bowling team cannot finish the total quota of overs within the stipulated time, they will be handed fielding punishments in the death overs.
