Watch: Virat Kohli Effect? Delhi Crowd Cheers For Naveen-ul-Haq During Cricket World Cup 2023 Game

It has been an interesting journey for Afghanistan fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq when it comes to fan support in India during the Cricket World Cup 2023. The pacer was taunted constantly during the initial games of the competition as a result of the on-field spat he had with Virat Kohli during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. Chants of "Kohli Kohli" filled the stadium every time he came to bowl and even on social media, his every move was scrutinised. However, the two cricketers put an end to their spat as they hugged each other during the India vs Afghanistan game and the mood among the Indian cricket team fans has made a complete U-turn. During the match against England in New Delhi on Sunday, the crowd was firmly behind Afghanistan and Naveen received loud cheers from them throughout the game.

Cricket In Olympics: A Sporting, Business Bonanza For The Sport

For long, cricket remained a statistical global sport sans a true global footing. A solid fan base of 2.5 billion and an ever-swelling TV revenue formed its axis to be labelled as a sport with a worldwide appeal, second only to football. However, in reality, all of it is parked in the Commonwealth countries and even among them India alone helm around 70 percent, if not more, of those numbers. But now, all this could change as cricket, in its T20 avatar, has made its re-entry into the Olympic fold through the 2028 edition at Los Angeles, and it is a mutually beneficial association from sporting and commercial angles. From a sporting perspective, the Olympics provides an unmatchable platform for cricket, perhaps even bigger than a World Cup.

"We are thrilled that cricket's inclusion in the LA28 Olympic Games has been confirmed by the IOC Session today," ICC Chairman Greg Barclay said as quoted by an ICC statement. "To have the opportunity to showcase our great sport at the LA28 Games and hopefully, many Olympic Games to come will be great for players and fans alike."

Mitchell Starc Pauses Run-Up Twice, Avoids Running Out Non-Striker Kusal Perera

For the first time in the Cricket World Cup 2023, Australia had the opportunity to inflict a non-striker run-out, a form of dismissal that often triggers debates on social media, in the match against Sri Lanka on Monday. Mitchell Starc, with the ball in his hand, could've dislodged the stumps at the non-striker's end where Sri Lanka's Kusal Perera was placed. However, Starc decided against doing so in the first instance and instead gave the batter a warning. Starc also informed the line umpire about the same, highlighting how Perera is becoming prone to leaving his crease early.
