Australian test cricket captain Pat Cummins has again avoided the chance to endorse embattled coach Justin Langer, saying it is not his job to decide his future.
Having tasted unmatched success as captain of the Indian team, MS Dhoni is all set to try his hands in sci-fi graphic novels with 'Atharva'. The former India skipper took to Facebook on Wednesday and shared the video of the graphic novel. The veteran wicketkeeper-batter has himself played the role of lead character in the sci-fi graphic novel 'Atharva', where he could be seen fighting devils in his animated avatar. "Happy to announce my new Avatar.....Atharva," Dhoni captioned the video.
Yash Dhull on Wednesday starred with a dazzling century as India defeated Australia in the semi-final of the U-19 World Cup at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua. With his knock against Australia, Dhull joined an elite list of India U19 captains with a century in the tournament. Before him, Virat Kohli and Unmukt Chanda had achieved the same feat at the U19 World Cup. Batting on 98, Dhull drove one towards the mid-wicket region, stealing two runs to complete his century.
India skipper Yash Dhull has said that it is a proud moment for him to be just the third Indian captain after Virat Kohli and Unmukht Chand to score a century in the U19 World Cup. Dhull scored a century in the semi-final of the ongoing tournament against Australia and this helped his side enter the finals of the U19 World Cup. "The plan from me and Rasheed was to bat till the end, and it worked. It's a proud moment (to be the third Indian captain to score a U19 WC ton after Virat Kohli and Unmukt Chand). The idea was to bat steadily, not to try too many shots, and to bat past the 40th over. Myself and Rasheed bat well together, we combine well and it showed," Dhull said after the game.
Since Virat Kohli's resignation as India's Test captain at the end of the three-match series in South Africa last month, there have been many rumours over who would take over as the team's skipper in the sport's longest format. One of the names that has been doing the rounds is that of speedster Jasprit Bumrah. There are other potential captains among India's bowlers as well, with Ravichandran Ashwin being among the most experienced players in the side. However, according to former India bowling coach Bharat Arun, a bowler as captain of India's Test side will be "challenging".
Today, I hope I wouldn’t have such a childish reaction. But I am still hopelessly addicted to sporting drama of all forms, a passion that began in childhood when I learned that if I wanted to watch TV with my family, I was going to have to get used to a viewing diet rich in cricket, rugby, golf and American football. I’m not and never have been a great sportswoman myself. But I have always been a keen reader and for me, following a tennis match or watching the downhill skiing at the winter Olympics conjures many of the feelings you have when you’re reading a gripping book. You invest in the characters, you get caught up in their quest and you pledge to stay with them to the end of their journey, whatever the outcome may be.
After a scintillating finish to the lone Women's Ashes Test between Australia and England, the battle for the urn still hangs in the balance.
