Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan is enjoying a successful stint in the English County Championship with Sussex. Rizwan, who made his Sussex debut alongside veteran India Test batter Cheteshwar Pujara, made headlines after taking a stunning catch during the ongoing tour match between Sussex and New Zealand. On the second delivery of the 54th over of the Kiwi's innings, Delray Rawlins bowled a slightly fuller delivery to Hamish Rutherford, who came down the track and tried to smash it over long-off for a six.
Veteran wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik has given some wonderful performances for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season and this is the main reason behind the 36-year-old earning a call-up to India's squad for the upcoming five-match T20 International (T20I)series against South Africa, beginning June 9 in New Delhi. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan congratulated Karthik on being named in the squad, saying it is a "fab story of not giving up hope".
Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma had an underwhelming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season as he was not able to register even a single half-century.

Former Team India coach Ravi Shastri feels Rohit does not need a break and he explained his reasons behind it.
