The Board for Cricket Control in India (BCCI) has invited applications for one member of Men's Selection Committee. The notice was posted on the official website and was also shared on all social media platforms by the cricket governing body. The last date of application for the position will be June 30 and the selected candidates will then have to go through the interview process.
Former Indian cricket team skipper Sourav Ganguly was all praise for Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur for their resilient performance but he also took a sly dig at the top-order batters on Day 3 of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final at The Oval on Friday. India were all out for 296 in their first innings but both batters scored half-centuries to keep them in the game. Ganguly said that they showed it to the dressing room how to bat on the surface and this can be seen as a "message to the top order".
The new jersey designs for the Indian cricket team was revealed on Thursday evening. The jersey has been designed by new kit sponsors Adidas. This time around, India will have distinctively separate designs of jerseys for ODIs and T20Is. The men's Indian cricket team will wear the newly designed jerseys starting from the World Test Championship final against Australia, that begins at The Oval from June 7. The jerseys have three stripes in all of them which is related to its new kit sponsors Adidas.
The Indian cricket team got a new sponsor in the form of sports apparel and merchandise giant Adidas, the Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Jay Shah confirmed on Monday. Shah took to Twitter to confirm the change in sponsor. He tweeted: "I'm pleased to announce @BCCI's partnership with @adidas as a kit sponsor. We are committed to growing the game of cricket and could not be more excited to partner with one of the world's leading sportswear brands. Welcome aboard, @adidas".
The Indian cricket team has had some phenomenal leaders. Rohit Sharma succeeded Virat Kohli who had taken over the reins from MS Dhoni. Sourav Ganguly, who himself is one of the finest skippers in the game's history, was asked about grooming a captain who could follow Rohit in the years to come. Dada, highlighting his views, said that he sees the Indian Premier League (IPL) as a good grooming platform for leaders before hinting that Hardik Pandya could be the one to succeed the HItman in the coming years.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen some of the finest captains in the world of cricket take centre stage. The likes of MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ricky Ponting, etc. have all been part of different franchises in the league's 16-year-long history. Former India pacer RP Singh, who has played under a number of captains in his IPL career, was asked to pick the 'favourite skipper' he has played under in the T20 league. To the surprise of many, he didn't pick Dhoni or Kohli despite having played under them at different points in his IPL career.
Star batter Virat Kohli marked his return to his vintage after he smashed his 28th Test hundred during the fourth Test against Australia in Ahmedabad. The 34-year-old batter had last reached the triple figures in the longest format, back in 2019 during a Test against Bangladesh in Kolkata. After a gap of 3.5 years, Kohli not only brought up his 75th international Test ton but his knock of 186, helped Team India in playing a draw against Australia, which also booked their spot in the World Test Championship final.
Former Indian cricket team spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan has revealed that he offered the current team management to help with the spin department, but his offer was not accepted. Following India's loss in the third ODI encounter, a Twitter user wrote on the social media platform that Kuldeep Yadav did not bowl according to the field and compared him to Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa. The user also tagged the ex-India spinner for his expert comment but his reply on the post stunned everyone.
