PCB "Has Taken Divide And Rule Policy": Ex-Captain's Charge On Babar Azam-Saheen Afridi Tussle

Pakistan cricket team is not looking in great shape. After losing the first Test against Bangladesh, Pakistan is not good touch in the second Test too. Pakistan head coach Jason Gillespie acknowledged that Bangladesh were favourites. "The odds are probably in favour of Bangladesh and we don't shy away from that," said Gillespie, who is coaching Pakistan for his first series.

"You Will Shame Yourself If You Don't Score 10000 Runs": Harbhajan Singh Recalls Virat Kohli Chat

One of the finest batters of his generation, Virat Kohli wasn't always the sort of batter he is at present. Born in Delhi, Virat had a sort of flamboyance to his game when he first started playing but has gradually emerged as a more mature player who knows how to pace his game, depending upon the situation he is batting in. Those who played with him during the early days, see the sort of difference Kohli has brought about in his game. One such cricketer is Harbhajan Singh who was an established name in the Indian team when Virat played his first few games.

"That's Not The Case Always": Indian Umpire's Blunt Take On Dhoni Review System

One of the sharpest brains in Indian cricket, MS Dhoni is a man known for his tactical brilliance, game awareness, and astute strategies.

Watch: Pakistan Star's 'Jogging Effort' Fails To Save Boundary, Mohammad Amir Left Fuming

Pakistan cricket team fast bowler Mohammad Amir was left fuming during the Caribbean Super League after compatriot Imad Wasim's lackluster fielding effort. Both Amir as well as Wasim play for the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons and the incident took place during the encounter against Barbados Royals. It was a short-pitched delivery from Amir and the batter - Quinton De Kock - guided it comfortably towards the third-man boundary. Imad was fielding at deep backward point and he was the one running towards the ball to save the four. However, he eased up and kept jogging as the ball went for a four leaving Amir agitated. Amir was heard shouting at Imad to run and his fielding position was changed on the next ball.
