"Shouldn't Reach A Stage...": Shahid Afridi's Retirement Advice For Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has allayed many doubters with his terrific form in the recently-concluded Asia Cup. The former Indian cricket team captain hit a ton and two half-centuries to end the tournament on a great note. Though India could not qualify for the final, Kohli's form was definitely a positive for the team. It will also boost the side going into the T20 World Cup. Kohli will turn 34 in November, and several experts have talked about whether he should be giving up one of the formats in near future. Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi said that whenever Kohli decides to bid adieu to cricket, he should be at the top of his game.

Dinesh Karthik: The Ultimate Story Of Perseverance And Determination

"Dreams do come true," tweeted wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik on Monday, shortly after he was named in India's T20 World Cup squad, and rightly so. Leave aside the T20 World Cup squad, if someone would have said in 2021 that Dinesh Karthik would be making a comeback to the national side, no one would have probably believed that. But it is a testament to Karthik's perseverance, determination, and grit that the 37-year-old veteran has managed to get his name in the India squad that will fly down to Australia to try and win the T20 World Cup for the second time.

After a successful Asia Cup, where he scored two half-centuries and a ton, Virat Kohli must be a relieved man. Kohli hit 12 fours and six sixes on his was way to score a 61-ball 122* against Afghanistan. He had strike-rate of 200.00. Before this ton, Kohli last reached the triple-figure mark in November, 2019, against Bangladesh. Over the last few months, Kohli was criticised for his lean patch, but his performance in the Asia Cup has shut up all the detractors.

T20 World Cup, India Squad: What Could Be The Ideal Combination?

The All-India Senior Selection Committee would be meeting on Monday and they would pick the squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup slated to be played in Australia in October-November. Looking at how India fared in the Asia Cup, it would be interesting to see whether there are some changes made in the squad or not. Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel are expected to be fit in time, so they would directly come into the squad but who they replace would be the bigger question.

"Boss, Don't Put Newspaper...": How Sourav Ganguly Used To Avoid Media Scrutiny In Playing Days

Indian cricket board captain Sourav Ganguly knows a thing or two about the kind of media scrutiny players come under, having faced a lot of it in an international career that spanned over 16 years. In a recent interview, the former India captain revealed just how he dealt with scrutiny in the news - by not reading it. Ganguly, one of India's most successful captains, said that all players come under the media scanner but he would not be bothered by "half of it" as he would be oblivious to what was being said about him.

"I Maybe President Of The Board But...": Why Sourav Ganguly Hasn't Given Virat Kohli Any Advice Amid Recent Slump

Before storming back to form in the Asia Cup with two half-centuries and his maiden T20I century, Virat Kohli was going through a lengthy lean patch that saw him come under the scanner ahead of the 2022 T20 World Cup that begins next month. BCCI president Sourav Ganguly appeared in an episode of "The Ranveer Show" and was asked if he gave Kohli any advice during this time, but he said that he couldn't as he rarely gets to see the star batter.

"He Is More Skillful Than I Am": Sourav Ganguly On Comparisons With Virat Kohli

Sourav Ganguly and Virat Kohli have a lot in common. Both have captained India and both are known for being aggressive, passionate characters on the field, with their actions as well as in the way they led their teams. So it's no surprise that comparisons often arise between the two. But Ganguly, now the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president, said that comparisons should not be made on that basis, but rather on their skills and conceded that Kohli is "more skillful" than he was.
