Virat Kohli has crossed the 200 million followers mark on the social media site Instagram. Former India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain entered the 200m club on Tuesday. With this, he became the first Indian to have 200 million followers on Instagram. "200 mil strong, thanks for all your support insta fam," wrote Kohli on his latest Instagram post.
Few kids who have been almost strangled by their parents are generous enough to leave their most precious assets to those parents in their will. Yet this is virtually the case with Durham CCC.
South Africa will take on a slightly depleted Team India in the first T20I of the five-match series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Thursday. The Proteas will be boosted by the return of star pacer Anrich Nortje, who has missed a fair bit of action due to an injury. Wayne Parnell has also earned a recall, having not featured for South Africa in T20Is since 2017. However, wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock's form will be key for the Proteas.
Skipper Dane van Niekerk has been named in an extended Proteas women squad that will be representing Team South Africa in T20 cricket at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Umran Malik said that he is delighted to get selected for the Indian team for the upcoming five-match T20I series against South Africa starting June 9. Umran had a memorable Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 campaign as he picked up 22 wickets in 14 matches for SunRisers Hyderabad. Ahead of the first T20I on Thursday, Umran has revealed that former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn, who was part of the SRH coaching staff during IPL 2022, had predicted that he will get the India call up before the start of the season.
India's upcoming T20I series against South Africa will be a test for "captain" KL Rahul. With the likes of skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli being rested for the five-match series, Rahul will lead Team India while Rishabh Pant will be his deputy. This will be the first time that Rahul will be leading Team India in the shortest format. Having been impressed by Rahul's leadership during IPL, where he guided Lucknow Super Giants to the playoffs, former India pacer Irfan Pathan said that the batter has improved as a captain.
Umpires have a long and difficult job of ensuring cricket matches go smoothly and the right decisions are taken. Often, they are subject to players appealing rather exuberantly for caught or leg before wicket chances. Some appeals are hilarious, while some can be downright annoying, especially when the bowler is absolutely convinced that he or she has got the wicket and the umpire is not. However, in a hilarious incident in a club match in England, an umpire briefly forgot his own role and joined in on the bowling team's appeal after a batter was rapped on the pads in front of the stumps.
