Watch: How Virat Kohli Persuaded Captain Rohit Sharma To Take DRS In India's 1st ODI vs West Indies
Virat Kohli made a crucial intervention to persuade his successor as India captain, Rohit Sharma, to make a correct call under the Decision Review System (DRS) in the team's opening ODI against the West Indies in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The incident took place in the 22nd over of West Indies' innings when Shamarh Brooks seemed to have nicked a Yuzvendra Chahal delivery to India wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant. The umpire, however, didn't lift the finger and even the Team India players seemed unsure of whether there was an outside edge.
"On A Scale Of 10, I Give Him...": Sunil Gavaskar Rates Rohit Sharma's 1st Match As Full-Time India White-Ball Captain
Rohit Sharma began his tenure as full-time Team India white-ball captain with a six-wicket victory over the West Indies in the first ODI of their three-game series at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Chasing a target of 177 runs, Rohit registered a half-century to help his side reach 178 for four in 28 overs. The swashbuckling batter received plenty of praise from former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, who also rated his performance "on a scale of 10". Speaking on Star Sports, he said, "This is the kind of perfect start he wanted. Even before that he tossed the coin in such a way that Pollard called it wrong. So you got to remember that right from the beginning he got it right. Therefore with a win like this it is always a good start and he contributed to the win; in terms of scoring with what is your specialty, that is batting."
Future looks bright for the boys who showed great maturity, high skills to win Under-19 World Cup
Despite little age-group cricket in India for the past two seasons due to Covid-19, the India under-19 team notched up a nine-game unbeaten run, clinching two back-to-back tournaments. "It was an outstanding achievement by the boys. Hats off to them for winning two major tournaments - the Under-19 Asia Cup (in UAE) and then the World Cup in span of a month. Considering that we had hardly two-three months' time to prepare, it's a great achievement," India Under-19 chief selector Sridharan Sharath told TOI on Sunday. The way this bunch conquered an outbreak of Covid-19-six players were infected at one point in the league stage, forcing India to barely find 11 fit players for the games against Ireland and Uganda - is an inspiring tale in itself. Sharath gave credit for keeping the boys motivated in this low phase to batting legend VVS Laxman, who was in the Caribbean in his capacity as the National Cricket Academy head, and the team's coaches - head coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar and bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule, both former India players.
