Quinton de Kock believes the ODI format still has a future because of the World Cup, but admits keeping it relevant outside that window in an increasingly congested calendar is becoming tough.
India scripted a memorable win in the second ODI against West Indies on Sunday, as they chased down a 312-run target in 49.4 overs. The win ensured that the Shikhar Dhawan-led side took an unassailable 2-0 win in the three-match series. Set a stiff target, the visitors were down to 205 for five in 38.4 overs but Axar Patel (64*, 35 balls) revived India's chase with his six-hitting prowess to take the visitors home with two balls to spare. Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson also scored half-centuries. Opener Shubman Gill also looked poised for a fifty-plus score but while on 43, he got out to Kyle Mayers in bizarre fashion.

Biopics on sportspersons are nothing new in India. However, this time Pakistan pace great Shoaib Akhtar has announced the launch of his Biopic titled - "Rawalpindi Express - Running against the odds" in a post on social media. The former Pakistan cricket team pacer played 46 Tests, 163 ODIs and 15 T20Is taking 178, 247 and 19 wickets in the three formats respectively. However, more than the number of his wickets, it was his speed that terrified batters. He holds the record of the fastest recorded delivery in cricket of 161kmph (vs New Zealand, 2002).
South Africa's Quinton de Kock says it will become difficult for players to participate in all three formats of cricket if more games continue to be added to the sport's packed schedule.
