Average Less Than Jasprit Bumrah: Virat Kohli's Embarrassing Record A New Low

Questions around Virat Kohli's Test career are bound to intensify, with the poster boy of Indian cricket continuing on an embarrassing path with the bat. For the 6th time since the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Down Under, Virat was dismissed while chasing an outside-off delivery. Kohli faced a whopping 68 balls with patience, scoring 17 runs before engaging with another 6th stump delivery, and ended up landing an easy catch into the hands of Australian debutant Beau Webster in slips.

2nd Test: Ryan Rickelton, Temba Bavuma Centuries Put South Africa In Strong Position vs Pakistan

Ryan Rickelton and Temba Bavuma hit centuries and batted South Africa into a strong position on the first day of the second Test against Pakistan at Newlands on Friday. South Africa were 316 for four at the close of play. Rickelton (176 not out) and South African captain Bavuma (106) put on 235 for the fourth wicket after the pair came together with the total on 72 for three. At that stage South Africa were in danger of wasting the advantage of winning the toss on a good batting pitch. But Rickelton and Bavuma were seldom troubled as they posted a fifty partnership off 66 balls and scored consistently at better than four runs an over throughout their stand.

"We All Thought It Was Out": Beau Webster Contemplates Virat Kohli's Ruled Out Catch In 5th Australia Test

Debutant Beau Webster felt Australia were "unfortunate" to be on the opposite side of the decision which saw the third umpire ruling out Steven Smith's attempted catch for India stalwart Virat Kohli's dismissal on the opening day of the Sydney Test. The incident occurred in the eighth over after India decided to bat after winning the toss. On the first ball that came Virat's way, he edged it away to Scott Boland, with Smith dived, taking a low catch at the slip.

"Probably Seen Rohit Sharma For Last Time...": Sunil Gavaskar Feels It's Game Over For India Star In Tests

Game over for Rohit Sharma in Tests? Well, Sunil Gavaskar thinks so. The official word from the India camp is that Rohit 'opted to rest' from the India vs Australia 5th Test in Sydney. But, 'resting' or 'rested' in Indian cricket often leaves the room for many interpretation. Rohit Sharma was not having a great run since landing in Australia. In his five innings in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Rohit score only 31 runs. After missing the first Test in Perth due to personal reasons, Rohit batted in the middle order in the second and third Tests. He returned to opening in the fourth Test but failed to score big.

Indian cricket team wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant weighed in on to the heated exchange between Jasprit Bumrah and Australian opener Sam Konstas on Day 1 of the fifth Test match in Sydney. In the final moments of the day, both cricketers got embroiled in a heated argument but it was the India pacer who had the last laugh as he dismissed Usman Khawaja on the very next delivery. Pant said that he did not hear what Konstas exactly said to Bumrah but commented that the Australia youngster wanted to waste time in order to prevent India from bowling another over on Day 1 of the must-win encounter.

Horrific Collision Rocks Big Bash League. Australia Star Stretchered Off - Video

A nasty collision between Australian cricketers Daniel Sams and Cameron Bancroft took place during Sydney Thunder's Big Bash League (BBL) match against Perth Scorchers at Optus Stadium in Perth on Friday. The collision was so severe that both the players had to be hospitalised. While one of them went off the ground suffering a bleeding nose, the other one was stretchered off after losing his consciousness. The incident took place in the 16th over of the Scorchers' innings. Cooper Connolly mistimed a fuller ball around the mid-wicket region and that is where Sams and Bancroft ran to take the catch. While both of them converged for the catch, they failed to notice each other and this led to a severe collision.
