Watch: Female Fan's Epic Reaction On Spotting Virat Kohli In Public

Star India batter Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma were recently spotted at the Gateway of India in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Kohli had an abysmal run in the recently-concluded Border-Gavaskar series against Australia. In the five-match series, which India lost 1-3, Kohli scored only 190 runs in nine innings, despite a century in the opening match. Despite his on-field struggles to get runs, Kohli still holds a huge fan following, which never fails to praise and acknowledge the presence of the star batter.

"After Yuvraj Singh, If There Is One...": India's Most Prolific 6-Hitter Named. Not Rohit Sharma Or Rinku Singh

Yuvraj Singh, for most kids growing up in the 2000s, was an absolute beast when it came to taking on the bowlers. His six sixes against Stuart Broad in a T20 World Cup match is just one example of his prowess. On countless occasions, Yuvraj showed elegance and ease in hitting sixes unlike any other. Now, former Indian cricket team batting coach Sanjay Bangar has named another player "who can do it with such ease on a consistent basis". He is not Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma or even Rinku Singh (whose five sixes off Yash Dhull in an IPL match took his career to another level). It is Sanju Samson.

Bitter Jasprit Bumrah Champions Trophy Blow To India, Report Says India Pacer To Miss...

The cost of 'overusing' Jasprit Bumrah in the search of wickets on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy seems to have hurt India's chances of winning the Champions Trophy. The pacer had to pull out during the 5th and final Test against Australia in Sydney over 'back spasms' but his injury has turned out to be much worse than first anticipated.

"Once They Get IPL Contract...": Ex-Australia Star's Dig At Mayank Yadav, Other Young India Pacers

Young India pacer Mayank Yadav impressed one and all with his maiden Indian Premier League appearance in the 2024 edition. The right-arm pacer came into the scene as a rare commodity in India. What made Mayank special was his ability to easily click over 150 kmph that too with impressive line and length. Batters had a tough time facing him in IPL 2024 but Mayank's season could last only four games. He picked 7 wickets at an economy of 6.99 but failed to continue playing because of injury. The pacer's fastest delivery in the short stint was 156.7 kmph.
