Former India head coach Ravi Shastri put his complete support behind the selectors' decision to include Ajinkya Rahane in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final squad and said that an experienced campaigner like him can prove valuable in an on-off encounter.

Chennai Super Kings batter Ambati Rayudu has strongly reacted to some reports linking one of his tweets as a response to what the great Sunil Gavaskar said during commentary for the IPL 2023 match between CCSK and Rajasthan Royals.

"Not What We Require Right Now...": On Prithvi Shaw's Chances To Make Delhi Capitals Return In IPL 2023, Ricky Ponting's Strong Verdict

Prithvi Shaw's pre-tournament net sessions had convinced Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting that a breakthrough IPL season awaited him but he now has to admit that lot of openers in other IPL teams are performing better than the colourful Mumbai batter. Shaw has been dropped after playing six games and it is unlikely that DC will go back to him anytime soon. "I think it's 13 games (considering IPL 2022 as well) since Prithvi has made a 50 opening the batting for the Delhi capitals. There are a lot of other players at the top of the order with other teams that are playing a whole lot better than Prithvi," Ponting said ahead of team's match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday.
