As the countdown for the ICC Champions Trophy begins, the stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are back in focus again. After playing important roles in India's success at the T20 World Cup 2024, Kohli and Rohit have big expectations on their shoulders again. However, neither of the two have had form going their way in recent events. In fact, skipper Rohit's ultra-aggressive approach has often left the team in problematic situations. Yet, former India international Ravichandran Ashwin, doesn't expect Rohit to alter his style. Hence, he has asked Virat Kohli to act as a 'bridge' for the team.

Sachin Tendulkar, Sir Don Bradman And Brian Lara Snubbed As Ricky Ponting Picks 'Best Cricketer Ever'

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has picked the "greatest cricketer that's ever played" the game. During his career, Ponting played against some of the finest cricketers, be it Sachin Tendulkar or Brian Lara. However, the legendary batter has labelled former South Africa all-rounder Jacques Kallis as the best of the best. To back his claim, Ponting highlighted Kallis' exploits with both bat and ball.

In-form mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy has been included in the Indian ODI squad after his heroics in the just-concluded T20I series against England as the team management wants the KKR mystery spinner to "keep up the momentum". There is a fair chance that Chakravarthy might just replace one of the four specialist spinners in the Champions Trophy squad.

Sanju Samson "Trying To Show His Ego": India's World Cup Winner Gives Brutal 'Missed The Bus' Verdict On Star

With 51 runs in five innings against England in the five-match T20 series, Indian opener Sanju Samson is facing the heat over his lack of form, with former teammate Ravichandran Ashwin and ex-captain Kris Srikkanth criticising the wicketkeeper batter for the similar manner of his dismissals. India's 4-1 win over England in the recent five-match T20I series has proven that the team is doing well, but it could not hide some of the issues plaguing it -- like the poor form of opening batter Samson.

Abhishek laced his innings with seven boundaries and 13 sixes, drawing praise from fellow cricketers, former cricketers, experts and fans. However, a huge approval of his ability may have come from someone from his own state, in the form of former India spin great Harbhajan Singh, who has stated that Abhishek is capable of replicating Virender Sehwag and Viv Richards in Test cricket.
