"They Get Injured In Gym, Not On Ground": Virender Sehwag Quips On Indian Players' Fitness

Former India opener Virender Sehwag has commented on the frequent injuries suffered by the players of the senior men's national cricket team. He feels that the weightlifting exercises often play a major role in the injury of the players, adding that the exercise has no role in cricket. Sehwag said that the players should focus more on their game rather than going for weightlifting. He feels that the Indian players nowadays are getting injured in the gym, not on the ground.

"They Have To Forget...": India Great's Big Prediction For Mumbai Indians Ahead Of IPL 2023

Mumbai Indians had a forgetful outing in the previous edition of the Indian Premier League as the five-time champions finished at the bottom of the points table. The Rohit Sharma-led side suffered multiple blows due to their poor bowling performance. As the 16th edition of the cash-rich league is just around the corner, the Mumbai-based franchise is dealing with another shock as their star pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the tournament due to back injury. Apart from him, Australia all-rounder Jhye Richardson will also be missing the entire season after he suffered a hamstring injury.

"If That Means Leaving Ashwin Or Jadeja Out...": Dinesh Karthik's Bold Take On India's WTC Final Team

Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja were unarguably the two biggest heroes for India in the 2-1 Border-Gavaskar Trophy triumph. The two finished as the top wicket-takers, with Ashwin claiming 25 scalps and Jadeja 22. The series win enabled India's progression to the ICC World Test Championship final which will also be played against Australia in June. Though Ashwin and Jadeja were central to India's success in the 4-match series, both of them might not get to feature in the WTC final as it will be played at the Oval in London.

"If There Was Ever A Weakness...": Ricky Ponting Reveals How Axar Patel Improved His Batting

Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting on Tuesday revealed how "little technical changes" made while playing for Delhi Capitals helped Axar Patel develop into an effective batter for India. Ponting is hoping to "get a bit more out of him" when he turns up for Delhi Capitals in this IPL. Axar (264 runs) has impressed during the Border-Gavaskar Test series against Australia, slamming three half-centuries to emerge as the second highest scorer for India behind Virat Kohli (297 runs) from five innings. "I've known Axar for a long time and he was only a young boy in the squad at Mumbai when I first went there," Ponting told the ICC Review.

Watch: Rishabh Pant's Pool Walk As He Recovers From Accident

India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is currently recovering post a horrific road accident in December last year. The 25-year-old cricketer had sustained multiple injuries in the accident and was lucky to escape his car in time despite the vehicle catching fire after the accident. Pant has been sharing updates on his health with his fans on social media at regular intervals and his latest post shows how he is doing. In the short clip shared on social media, Pant could be seen walking slowly inside water in a pool with the help of a stick.

"Rahul Dravid Literally Spoke About Him..." Dinesh Karthik Reveals How Head Coach Praised India Pacer

Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is arguably one of the finest pacers India ever produced. Making his fiery debut in a T20I against Pakistan in 2012, the Meerut-born cricketer has scalped 90 wickets in the shortest format, with two five-wicket hauls. Over the years, he took Team India across the line on numerous occasions, with his blistering pace. However, Bhuvneshwar faced a lot of flak after he failed to leave a mark in the 2022 T20 World Cup. The 33-year-old pacer could only scalp four wickets in the entire tournament and leaked a lot of runs in the death overs. He played his last match for India against New Zealand in November 2022 and has been out of favor since then.

Sunil Gavaskar Pulls Big Surprise As He Picks India's Wicketkeeper For WTC Final

India will play in the World Test Championship (WTC) final for the second time in as many seasons when they take on Australia in the summit clash, slated to be played at the Oval in London from June 7-11. India defeated Australia 2-1 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after the fourth and final Test ended in a stalemate on Monday. While India might have clinched a fourth straight Test series win over Australia, there were plenty of issues which are needed to be addressed by the team management before the WTC final.

'Don't Think India Owe New Zealand Any Thank You': Sunil Gavaskar On WTC Final Entry

While New Zealand's narrow win over Sri Lanka in the first Test sealed India's place in the World Test Championship, batting great Sunil Gavaskar feels the Rohit Sharma-led does not owe the Kiwis "any thank you." India qualified for the WTC final, albeit with a little help from New Zealand, and will take on Australia in the summit clash, slated to be played at the Oval in London from June 7-11. However, Gavaskar feels that India have played outstanding cricket over the last two years and deserve to reach the WTC final.
