Virat Kohli is off for a vacation. Taking to his Twitter, Virat posted a picture of him, sitting on a beach and relaxing. Virat was rested for the ongoing T20I series against South Africa, following his lean patch in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Team India will be touring England for the rescheduled fifth Test match, which got postponed in 2021 due to COVID-19. The fifth Test will be played on July 1 which will be followed by a three-match T20I and ODI series.
Virat Kohli has arguably been the best batter the world has seen in recent times, breaking numerous batting records on his way to superstardom. However, his performances in the last couple of years have dipped a bit and at the same time a new contender for the best batter has emerged -- Babar Azam. The Pakistan captain has been a run-scoring spree in recent times, notching records with each passing game. It's only natural that people make comparisons between the two batters. Babar Azam's Pakistan teammate Shaheen Shah Afridi was also asked to pick one between the two in a video posted on ESPNcricinfo.
South Africa reeled off their highest successful chase in a T20 game when they beat India by seven wickets in their first of five T20s in Delhi on Wednesday.
South African youngster Dewald Brevis was picked by Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auction after his brilliant display in the 2022 Under-19 World Cup. In the IPL, Brevis showed why he is so highly rated with some quickfire knocks. The 19-year-old scored 161 runs in seven matches at an impressive strike rate of 142.48, with a highest score of 49. Brevis, in an exclusive chat with NDTV, spoke about his experience in the IPL with Mumbai Indians, what it felt like meeting legends like Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni and much more.
India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star Virat Kohli on Tuesday became the first Indian to cross the 200 million followers mark on social media platform Instagram. Kohli, one of the most popular cricketers in the world, is known for breaking records on the field, but this milestone shows how widely he is loved across the planet. Kohli, in fact, is the most followed cricketer on Instagram, and among sportspersons, only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have more followers than the prolific batter.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam continued his excellent run of form in international cricket as he slammed a century in the first ODI against West Indies in Multan on Wednesday. Babar also scripted multiple records as Pakistan managed to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Babar, after his knock of 103, became the fastest batter to score 1,000 ODI runs as captain, surpassing former India captain Virat Kohli in the list. While Kohli took 17 innings to touch the 1,000 runs milestone, Babar achieved the same feat in just 13 innings.
The five-match T20I series against South Africa, starting on Thursday, presents a great opportunity for the Indian cricket team management to experiment with a young line-up ahead of the 2022 T20 World Cup. With many seniors like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma being rested to keep them fresh for the England Tour in July, the Indian squad for the series against South Africa bears a fresh look. Players like Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Deepak Hooda will be hoping to make an impact. Even comeback man Dinesh Karthik would aim to make the most of this chance.
