Michael Vaughan insisted it was "inconceivable" that he would make the racist comment he has been accused of by Azeem Rafiq. Former England captain Vaughan began his defence against an England and Wales Cricket Board charge of using racist and/or discriminatory language in London on Friday.
Former India opener Aakash Chopra pointed out the reasons behind India's defeat against Australia in the third Test encounter in Indore and even identified an ‘unlikely' hero of sorts for the visitors. The former cricketer was all praise for Umesh Yadav who thrilled everyone with his brand of fast bowling in the first innings. Umesh was in fiery form as he claimed three wickets and was able to produce pace on a wicket that completely supported the spinners. Chopra also lauded Ravichandran Ashwin for his bowling but was critical of a few batters including Shreyas Iyer for their shot selections on the wicket.
Jason Roy struck a century while Sam Curran put in a fine all-round performance as England thrashed Bangladesh by 132 runs in the second one-day international in Dhaka on Friday.
Dinesh Karthik behind the mic is something that World Cup-winning former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni "really enjoys", the Royal Challengers Bangalore wicketkeeper-batter said, terming it "my biggest accolade". Currently commentating on the India-Australia Test series, the 37-year-old Karthik will be next seen in action in the upcoming IPL. He said a word of praise from Dhoni made the job of commentary special for him.
India's women cricketers will not only get the much-needed exposure to take their game to the next level but also enjoy the perks of a cash-rich tournament when the Women's Premier League (WPL) ushers in a new dawn for the sport in the country. The 21-match tournament will commence on Saturday with Gujarat Giants taking on India captain Harmanpreet Kaur-led Mumbai Indians in the tournament-opener. The WPL will not just be about the creme-de-la-creme of world cricket with huge pay packets and reputations to play for but also for someone like Sneha Deepthi, who would like to prove that motherhood hasn't robbed her of the passion to play elite sport.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has declared the pitch used for the third Test encounter between India and Australia in Indore as “poor” under the ICC Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process and as a result, the Holkar Stadium has received three demerit points. The pitch received a lot of criticism from experts due to the uneven pace and bounce on offer with 30 wickets falling in just two days. The pitch conditions specifically favoured the spins from both sides with 26 out of the 31 wickets that fell during the match going to spin bowlers. The decision was taken following a conversation between match referee Chris Broad and the two captains – India's Rohit Sharma and Australia's Steve Smith.
Yuzvendra Chahal and Shikhar Dhawan have uploaded a funny video on social media in which the India leg-spinner could be seen cracking 'he, she' jokes with his compatriot. Meanwhile, right-arm pacer Umran Malik stands between the duo in the background and laughs as soon as Chahal completes his joke. In the shared clip, Dhawan asks Chahal questions related to the language of English and the latter's final answer sends everyone in splits. "He-He-He," Chahal captioned the post.
