Indian cricket icon, Virat Kohli, has truly established his name as one of the finest batters in the world. Kohli has gained fans world over for his performances with the bat. But, it isn't just cricket that Kohli is invested into. The talismanic batter also owns a chain of restaurants by the name 'One8 Commune' the latest branch of which he is all set to open in Mumbai.
West Indies might not be without some of the big stars from yesteryears but they still have enough power hitters who can light up the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. There was ample proof of that in the first T20I of their series against the reigning champions as the Windies batters hit a total of six maximums in way to registering 145/9 at the Carrara Oval.
The No. 4 spot in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup is definitely sealed, all thanks to Suryakumar Yadav who has been in the form of his life in the shortest format. The batter is widely touted as the most important figure in India's batting unit in T20Is. But, the way Dinesh Karthik played at No. 4 position in the 3rd T20I against South Africa at Indore, albeit in a losing cause, even Surya was impressed. Lauding Karthik's knock, Suryakumar said that his No. 4 spot could in trouble because of the veteran wicket-keeper batter's innings.
Women's T20I Cricket will return to the 2026 Commonwealth Games, which will be held in Australia, following the competition's enormous success in 2022, according to announcements made on Wednesday by the Commonwealth Games Federation and Commonwealth Games Australia. The 23rd Commonwealth Games will include 20 sports, with competitions taking place in a number of Victoria state locations. A complete schedule for the multi-sport competition was unveiled, with debuts for golf, BMX, and coastal rowing.
India's Suryakumar Yadav moved considerably closer to Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan, the number one ranked T20I batter in the world, intensifying the competition for the top spot. Both Rizwan and Suryakumar had decent outing in their home series against England and South Africa respectively. By concluding India's most recent T20I series at home against South Africa with two half-centuries and as their highest run scorer with a total of 119 runs, Yadav maintained his astounding climb in 2022.
India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant didn't have the most memorable outing in the 3-match T20I series against South Africa, where he got to bat only once in three matches. Though India emerged triumphant 2-1, Pant would've liked to do a little more in the series. Opening the batting for the team in the final match of the series at Indore, Pant, who was celebrating his 25th birthday, didn't quite click with the bat. But, the defeat in the game didn't spoil celebrations in the dressing room, both for the series triumph and the stumper's birthday.
India lost the final T20I to South Africa in Indore on Tuesday by a big margin but Rohit Sharma's team won the series 2-1 and are going into the T20 World Cup on the back of twin victories over the Proteas and reigning champions Australia. India is far from a settled bunch as they have several chinks in their armour but the group is an upbeat one under Rohit's leadership.
Former Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal slammed the selectors after the Babar Azam-led side slumped to a series defeat against England on home soil last week. Leading the series 3-2 at one point, Pakistan were outclassed in the last two games of the seven-matches, conceding the series 3-4. While highlighting Pakistan's middle-order issues, which have been evident since the start of the Asia Cup, Ajmal angrily suggested that the selectors could instead look at unfit players who can bat with some intent.
