Pakistan pacer and Lahore Qalandars captain, Shaheen Afridi, was on top his powers during a Pakistan Super League match against the Babar Azam-led Peshawar Zalmi. The 22-year-old produced one of the finest new balls spells as he scalped two wickets in as many overs. After breaking Mohammad Haris' bat, before cleaning up the young opener, Shaheen also won the battle against his Pakistan teammate and Zalmi captain Babar. After being hit for a boundary, Shaheen stunned Babar with a brilliant in-swinging delivery, which the Pakistan captain failed to read.
The Gujarat Giants, owned by Adani Group are all set for the inaugural edition of the Women's Premier League. The team is bringing on board as their captain Beth Mooney, one of the most consistent Australian players, and Indian off-spinner and all-rounder Sneh Rana as the vice-captain. One of the most dominating wicket-keeper-batters in the game, Mooney and her team successfully brought home the Women's T20 World Cup in 2018, 2020 and 2023 along with the Women's ODI World Cup in 2022 and the Gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Star batter Virat Kohli recently opened up on being termed as "failed captain" by many experts and fans as Team India did not win any ICC trophy under his captaincy. The 34-year-old batter took Team India to great heights with 40 wins out 68 matches in Test cricket. Apart from this, Team India also registered 65 victories out of 95 ODIs and 30 wins out of 50 T20Is, under the leadership of Kohli. However, failing to clinch any major ICC trophy during his tenure invited a lot of criticism on Kohli's captaincy. Former England spinner Monty Panesar also did not shy away from taking a dig at the India batter and stated that one always remembers the winners of the ICC tournaments.
India batter KL Rahul is going through a lean patch with the bat in Test cricket. India's ongoing Test series against Australia saw the batter failing to score big across three innings of the first two matches. The player has been kept in the squad for the ongoing series despite his poor form, but the the designation of vice-captain has been removed from his name. While BCCI announced the squad for the remaining two Test matches against Australia, its release didn't have the post of vice-captain next to Rahul's name. Speculations are rife that Rahul has been sacked from the post and Shubman Gill will be included in the playing XI in his place. Whether Rahul could keep his spot or not it will all be clear by March 1, the day the third Test kicks off at the Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore.
