Nearly 14 months after he last played an international game, veteran seamer Mohammed Shami on Saturday returned to the Indian team for the upcoming five-match T20I series against visiting England. The 34-year-old Shami's last outing for India was the 2023 ODI World Cup final against Australia at Ahmedabad on November 19, after which he was out of the team for a long time due to an ankle injury for which he underwent surgery in the UK last year.

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. It has been reported that Bumrah has swelling on his back and is unlikely to be fit in time for the start of the Champions Trophy next month.

India's disastrous tour of Australia was reviewed by the BCCI in an over two-hour long meeting with under-fire skipper Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir on Sunday but the Board decided against any knee-jerk response to the debacle that was largely blamed on the poor form of senior players.
