Virat Kohli is one of the most intense cricketers in the world. His aggression on the cricket field often rubs off on his teammates. Former and current Indian players have often vouched how Virat Kohli aggression often eggs them to do well. It is not only the men's cricket team members who are inspired by Virat Kohli, even the women's cricket team are inspired by the former India men's skipper.
Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has criticised the country's cricket board for removing Muhammed Hafeez as Team Director due to recent poor results, asserting that it is unfair to "target" ex-players in administrative roles when officials are refusing to shoulder any responsibility for the side's performance. The PCB had last month parted ways with Hafeez after a 0-3 Test defeat in Australia followed by a 1-4 T20 International series loss to New Zealand. Hafeez's contract, initially short-term, concluded after the T20 series in New Zealand, following the sports ministry's recommendation against a long-term agreement.
Former Indian cricket team fast bowler Praveen Kumar weighed in on the controversy surrounding Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan not receiving central contracts from the BCCI. With the Board focusing on domestic cricket, both cricketers were penalised for not taking part in Ranji Trophy matches. In an interview with Times Of India, Praveen said that cricketers should look to earn money but not at the expense of domestic cricket. The former pacer advised young players to prioritise international cricket over the Indian Premier League (IPL) and try to balance both things in their careers.
MELBOURNE: All-rounder Cameron Green may be spared white ball duties for Australia to focus on his red ball game ahead of the test series against India in the next home summer, coach Andrew McDonald said.
Despite taking the Sunrisers Eastern Cape to back-to-back SA20 titles, Proteas T20 captain Aiden Markram will no longer captain the Sunrisers Hyderabad in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL).
Lalchand Rajput might be looking in his contract to see if there is a release clause. Just two matches into his three-year deal as UAE coach, the former India batter must be wondering if this is really what he signed up for.
Former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has opened up on his decision to replace Virat Kohli with Rohit Sharma as the captain of the Indian men's cricket team. Rohit replaced Virat as the full-time captain of India after the latter stepped down from his role in Tests and T20Is in 2022. Back then, Ganguly was the BCCI chief and there were reports of a possible rift between him and Kohli. Ganguly had earlier revealed that the BCCI had asked Kohli to reconsider his decision to step down as T20I captain.
Young India wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel has played just two Tests, but he has been already compared to the legendary MS Dhoni by several former cricketers. Former India batter Sunil Gavaskar labelled Jurel as the next Dhoni, while ex-spinner Anil Kumble feels the yougster has all the tools to become as good as the former India captain. Jurel scored a match-winning 90 in the first innings of the 4th Test against England and also hit an unbeaten 39 in the second innings to help India get the win.
