Royal Challengers Bangalore will be making a fresh start to the Indian Premier League from the upcoming IPL 2022 season as a new captain will take charge as Virat Kohli had decided to step down from the position at the end of last year's campaign. RCB have three finals but have never won the IPL trophy and the new leader will have his task cut out from the beginning.
Supremely successful, insanely wealthy, and achievers in their own right with manic followers growing exponentially with each passing day. But 48 hours before Virat Kohli gears up to play his landmark 100th Test and Rohit Sharma walks out from the PCA Stadium pavilion in a navy blue India blazer for the first time, they simply looked like two men possessed and intensely focussed to make their milestone moment special.
Deepak Chahar may miss the majority of the IPL 2022 season for Chennai Super Kings, said a report by ESPNCricinfo on Wednesday. Chahar had sustained a right quadriceps injury while turning out for India in the final T20I against West Indies at Kolkata and was ruled out of the subsequent T20I series against Sri Lanka. Chahar has been at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for further management and recovery from the injury.
Rodney Marsh, who remains in an induced coma after suffering a heart attack last week, has been flown to a city hospital here from Bundaberg in a "critical but stable condition."

A report in the 'Sydney Morning Herald' quoted a Bundaberg Hospital spokesperson as saying "Marsh was transferred interstate on Monday in a critical but stable condition." Marsh was shifted to Adelaide to be closer to his family, according to the report.

Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian cricket team in Test cricket for the first time when the teams walks out at the PCA Stadium in Mohali to take on Sri Lanka in the first Test match from Friday. Rohit will have big boots to fill as he takes over from Virat Kohli, who stepped down from captaincy in cricket's longest format after India's 1-2 loss to South Africa, away from home, earlier this year. Kohli is India's most successful Test captains in terms of victories and win percentage and has left behind a strong legacy.
Australia take on Pakistan in the first Test of the three-match series from Fiday and the series opener will be played in Rawalpindi. All Pakistan vs Australia Test series will now be called the Benaud-Qadir series, named after legendary Australia all-rounder Richie Benaud and Pakistani leg-spin great Abdul Qadir. Ashes-winning Australia will face unfamiliar conditions, heavy security and unpredictable, but talented, opponents when they begin their first Test in Pakistan for 24 years on Friday. Having landed in Islamabad just three days ago to be immediately engulfed in "head of state-level security", the Australians have had little time to acclimatise to conditions in Rawalpindi, where the first Test will be played. But they may like what they see as they practise, with a pitch often more conducive to seam bowling than the more typical spinners' wickets more usually found across Pakistan.
Zak Crawley tipped his new opening partner Alex Lees for a successful Test career after the pair began the job of moving England past their Ashes despair.
