"That's A Secret, Why Would I Say Here": Hardik's Smart Reply Leaves Everyone In Splits

After clinching the four-match Test series of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2-1, Team India is all set to face Australia in a three-match ODI series, starting Friday at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. Regular India skipper Rohit Sharma will not be available for the first match due to his family commitments and it will be all-rounder Hardik Pandya who will don the skipper's hat. While on the captaincy front, there will be no pressure on Hardik as he has already led the side in the past, it will be interesting to see how many overs he bowls in the first ODI and the following two games in the series.

WPL 2023, DC vs GG: Ashleigh Gardner's All-Round Show Powers Gujarat Giants To 11-Run Win Over Delhi Capitals

A fine bowling performance, coupled with Laura Wolvaardt (57) and Ashleigh Gardner's (51 not out) battling half-centuries helped Gujarat Giants defeat Delhi Capitals by 11 runs and take sweet revenge for their 10-wicket loss earlier, in a Women's Premier League match in Mumbai on Thursday. Chasing 148 for victory, Delhi Capitals were bundled out for 136 in 18.4 overs, with their entire top and middle-order, including captain Meg Lanning (18) and Shafali Verma (8), failing to impress. Marizanne Kapp was the highest run-getter for Delhi Capitals, scoring a 29-ball 36 and her run out at the team's score on 97/6 took the wind out of the side's sails. Tailenders Arundhati Reddy (25) and Shikha Pandey (8 not out) provided some entertainment with a 35-run partnership but to no avail.
