The 2011 ODI World Cup winner Gautam Gambhir opened up on his heated conversation with Shahid Afridi and said that he has moved on a long back. In an interview during the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, Gambhir talked about how the media always showed his fight with Shahid Afridi before every 'India vs Pakistan' match.

Indian batting looked clueless and out of depth to be dismissed for their third lowest total as England notched up a four-wicket loss in the second women's T20I to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series in Mumbai on Saturday. On a day uncapped Indian cricketers won fat pay-cheques in the Women's Premier League (WPL) auction, Shafali Verma (0), Smriti Mandhana (10), skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (9), Deepti Sharma (0) cut a sorry figure as India were shot out for 80 in 16.2 overs.

Hardik Pandya, the star Indian cricket team all-rounder, may soon be back in action. The star fast bowling all-rounder is a rare commodity in Indian cricket as there is a dearth of top-notch fast-bowling allrounders. However, the star all-rounder has often had lengthy injury breaks too. Hardik Pandya is being touted as the next Indian cricket team captain in the white-ball formats, particularly the T20I format. Hence, his presence on the field ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup is all the more crucial.
BCCI secretary Jay Shah said on Saturday that the second edition of the Women's Premier League (WPL) will be played only in one city, like it was the case in the inaugural season.
