Johannesburg - The Proteas head coach Mark Boucher admitted Friday that even he couldn’t explain the dreadful performance produced by the players in the first two days of the opening Test against New Zealand.
Virat Kohli has long been seen as the natural heir to Sachin Tendulkar in the Indian cricket team due to his batting prowess. While Kohli is currently going through a lean patch and hasn't scored an international century since 2019, he still has an unviable record with the bat across all formats. While many of Sachin Tendulkar's records may not be broken anytime soon, Kohli is expected to get within touching distance of some of the legendary Mumbai-born cricketer's incredible feats with the bat.
The Proteas face almost certain defeat in the first Test against New Zealand in Christchurch following another disastrous performance on day two on Friday.
Harmanpreet Kaur "can't survive in the team" on the 171 she scored in the 2017 World Cup and it is time to drop her starting with the third ODI against New Zealand, said former India captain Diana Edulji. Edulji also wants to drop Shafali Verma for the next game with Smriti Mandhana expected to return after completing quarantine. In the star player's absence, S Meghana has made an impact while Shafali continues to struggle in the 50-over format since making her debut last year.
India will look to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series against the West Indies when the two sides face off in the 2nd T20I at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Friday. India had won the opening T20I clash by six wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the series. India captain Rohit Sharma could be tempted to go ahead with the same combination that won the opening T20I for Friday's match. In the opening match of the series, India chased down a target of 158 runs with six wickets and seven balls to spare.
Former Australia batter Simon Katich has quit the Indian Premier League (IPL) SunRisers Hyderabad less than two months before the tournament starts. As per a report in 'The Australian', Katich decided to walk out after a disagreement on how the team was being managed and he also felt that the franchise disregarded the pre-auction plans. Earlier, SunRisers Hyderabad was involved in a major controversy after they sacked David Warner as captain last season and then the batter was even ousted from the playing XI.
Former all-rounder Shane Watson said he is "super excited" for the Australian side with Pat Cummins leading the team after Tim Paine's departure. Cummins in November last year was named Australian men's Test cricket team captain following the announcement of Paine taking an indefinite break from all cricket. "For me, he is the ultimate. He was in a no-win situation leading up to Justin Langer handing in his resignation because if he commented either way it was not going to look good," Watson said on 'The ICC Review'.
