The Indian women's cricket team will begin its campaign at the Commonwealth Games on Friday against Australia at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The Indian team is grouped alongside Australia, Pakistan and Barbados in Group A. Ahead of the fixture against Australia, Virat Kohli wished the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side luck for the entire event.
The debate on Virat Kohli's form continued after he failed to register big scores in the T20Is or ODIs against England. He was rested from the ODIs against West Indies that followed and is not in the squad for the T20Is either, and it is unclear whether he will travel to Zimbabwe for India's series there. Former India selector Saba Karim said that the team management should not force Kohli to play against Zimbabwe or tell him that he won't be in contention for the T20 World Cup squad if he doesn't play against Zimbabwe.
Martin Guptill went past India captain Rohit Sharma to become the highest run scorer in T20 Internationals, during the first game against Scotland here. The 35-year-old talismanic batter achieved the milestone on Wednesday en route his 31-ball 40.
Shikhar Dhawan led India to a 3-0 whitewash over West Indies as the team completed a comprehensive win in the third and final match of the series in what was a rain hit encounter. West Indies had fought bravely in the first two matches but the Indians managed to eke out thrilling wins.
New Zealand opening batter Martin Guptill on Wednesday became the highest run-getter in men's T20Is as he played a knock of 40 runs in the first T20I against Scotland. During the course of this innings, Guptill surpassed India skipper Rohit Sharma, who has 3379 runs, to achieve this big milestone in the shortest format of the game. The right-handed Guptill now has 3,399 runs in T20Is, 20 runs more than Sharma.
Virat Kohli's form with the bat has been the biggest talking point in Indian cricket for a while now and the former India captain's struggles off late have led to talks about his place in the team. It is a well document fact by now that Kohli has not scored an international century since November 2019, but he was still getting in good knocks in all formats after international cricket resumed in late 2020 and 2021.
Virat Kohli's form off late has become a huge talking point, and the big scores have not come for the batter. In the recently-concluded ODI series against England, Kohli failed to get into his groove and he registered scores of 16 and 17. Before that, he had failed in the Edgbaston Test and the T20I series against England as well. The batter has now gotten the support of Robin Uthappa, as the T20 World Cup-winner said that the batter needs to be left alone as he knows how to deal with things.
Renowned mental conditioning coach Paddy Upton, who was part of the support staff of India's 2011 World Cup winning team, is rejoining the national set-up in the lead-up to the T20 World Cup in Australia. Upton has been roped in on a short-term contract and will be the latest addition to coach Rahul Dravid's team of support staff.
