Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal stood out with a patient 118-ball 56 as he struck a 62-run stand with Rishabh Pant (39, 52b). However, there were occasions when the two could have been run out.

"Simple Funda Hai...": Axar Patel Sums Up Rohit Sharma Captaincy Style

Rohit's on-field communication with players has also given fans a glimpse of they style of his captaincy.

CSA Committed To Playing Bilateral Series vs Afghanistan Amid Human Rights Backlash

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has announced it will continue to play bilateral fixtures against Afghanistan despite increasing calls for a boycott due to the Taliban's oppressive policies towards women in the country. This includes criticism from lawyers for human rights, who urged CSA to sever ties with Afghanistan as a stand against the regime's harsh restrictions on women, including banning them from participating in sports. CSA, however, has taken a more measured approach, stating that punishing Afghanistan's men's cricket team for the Taliban's policies would be unjust. In a statement released on Thursday, CSA emphasised its commitment to gender equity while also pointing out that penalising Afghan cricketers - many of whom had no part in the government's decisions - would not contribute meaningfully to improving women's rights in Afghanistan.
