BCCI Invites Applications For Position Of National Selector For Senior Men's Team

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has invited applications for a position of national selector for India's senior men's team.

"Hasn't Scored A Single Run": Ex India Star Blasts Rohit Sharma After Indore T20I

The Indian cricket team has the 3-match T20I series against Afghanistan in their kitty, having won the first two matches convincingly. While the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi, Axar Patel, etc. have impressed, skipper Rohit Sharma's form hasn't been the best. After getting run-out in the first match without opening his account, Rohit fell for a duck in the second match too. Though there is no question about the Hitman's ability, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has questioned his shot selection after the strange dismissal in the second T20I on Sunday.

Watch: Virat Kohli Recreates That Haris Rauf Shot Against Naveen-ul-Haq, But Remains Unimpressed

Marking his return to T20 internationals after a 14-month hiatus, Virat Kohli produced a fine cameo of 29 runs off 16 balls, showcasing a new approach to the shortest format of the game. During the course of his stay on the crease, Kohli hit 5 fours. Up against Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq, the player with whom he had an infamous spat during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season, Kohli almost reacted that T20 World Cup 2022 shot he had hit against Pakistan's Haris Rauf. While the Rauf delivery had gone for a six, the shot Kohli hit against Naveen fell just short and could only fetch him 4 runs.

Social Media Stunned As Sachin Tendulkar Raises Deepfake Alarm

Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar on Monday raised a huge alarm as he shared a "fake" of himself in which he is seen promoting a gaming application that lures users for easy money. The video shows Tendulkar talking about the merits of the application, saying he did not know that money-making has become so easy and that his own daughter uses the platform. Though the person in the video looks like Sachin Tendulkar, the cricketing icon confirmed that the video is fake.

Axar Patel Joins Ravindra Jadeja In Elite List After India's Win vs Afghanistan In 2nd T20I

Indian all-rounder Axar Patel completed 200 wickets in the T20 format and joined senior all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja in an elite company. Patel reached this milestone during India's second T20I against Afghanistan in Indore on Sunday. In the match, Axar continued his good form with the ball, taking 2/17 in his quota of four overs. He took the wickets of skipper Ibrahim Zadran and Gulbadin Naib, who was looking dangerous after scoring a half-century. Now in his T20 career, Axar has 200 wickets at an average of 27.95 and an economy rate of 6.97. His best bowling figures are 4/21.

Injured Kane Williamson Set To Miss Remainder Of Pakistan Series

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, who suffered a hamstring injury in the second T20 against Pakistan, is unlikely to take any further part in the series, coach Gary Stead said Monday. Williamson was already set to miss the third game on Wednesday, and with the first Test against South Africa less than three weeks away, Stead said his star batsman would probably sit out the final two games as well.

Watch: Yashasvi Jaiswal Wins Incredible Sprint Race To Run Out Afghanistan Star In 2nd T20I

Yashasvi effected one of the rare modes of run-outs during India's second T20I against Afghanistan in Indore on Sunday. While a batter getting runout is quite a common scene in the field of cricket, it is rare to see both the batter and the fielder engaging in a sprint race towards the stumps during the dismissal. The latter case happened when Jaiswal and Afghanistan pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi both ran at the non-striker's end with full might the Indian star winning the race and running his opponent out.

"Tu Ja Aur Bindaas...": Yashasvi Jaiswal Reveals Rohit Sharma's Message Post 2nd T20I Heroics

Backed to open alongside skipper Rohit Sharma in the second T20I against Afghanistan on Sunday, Yashasvi Jaiswal made quite a statement with his 34-ball 68 in Indore. The promising youngster said it was all thanks to the "go out and express yourself" brief from the Indian team management, especially the captain. The 22-year-old's strokeful knock at the top of the order and Shivam Dube's 63 not out off 32 balls, helped India register a six-wicket series-clinching win here on Sunday as the hosts easily chased down the target of 173 with 26 balls to spare.
