Few players have caught the imagination of the cricketing world like Virat Kohli. Dinesh Karthik has seen Kohli up close while sharing the dressing room with him for Team India and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. While speaking on RCB Podcast Season 2, the third of 10 episodes, Karthik believes Kohli's ability to stay grounded despite achieving so much on and off the field makes him a champion in all walks of life.
India captain Rohit Sharma's decision to bat against Australia in the ongoing third Test in Indore didn't go as planned as the hosts were bowled out for a paltry total of 109 in the first innings. At one stage, it seemed that Team India might not cross the 100-run mark, after having been reduced to 88/8. However, pacer Umesh Yadav, who was recalled to the side for the match, had different ideas as he played an entertaining cameo of 17 off just 13 deliveries, slamming two sixes and a four.
Former captain Diana Edulji has no qualms in saying that India's U-19 stars fielded way better in their victorious T20 World Cup campaign in comparison to the seniors' effort in South Africa and reckons that most of them will struggle if the 'yo yo' test becomes mandatory in women's cricket. Edulji, who was part of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee which ran the BCCI for 33 months, was appalled at the fielding effort displayed by India in the T20 World Cup semifinal in Cape Town on Thursday.
India came agonisingly close yet ended on the losing side against Australia in the first semi-final of the 2023 Women's T20 World Cup. Australia won by five runs when India finished on 167 for eight in reply to Australia's 172 for four. Australia will face either England or South Africa in Sunday's final. India batted with aggressive intent from the first ball and for much of the innings were ahead of Australia's total at the equivalent stage despite losing three wickets in the six-over power play.
Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian cricket team captain, is currently enjoying a good time as her side is in the semi-finals of the Women's T20 World Cup in South Africa. She has now become the first player to feature in 150 T20Is. And she would hope that her team makes it to the final too. Ahead of the semi-final, former India star allrounder Yuvraj Singh made an unique gesture for Harmanpreet. He shared a video on social media where it shows that when the term 'Indian Cricket Team Captain' is searched on Google, it does not show Harmanpreet Kaur. The search result only displays the names of Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya as captains of the Indian cricket team.
Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir lavished praise on India's Test player Cheteshwar Pujara. Lauding the batting mainstay of the team, Gambhir said that Pujara has batted the finest in the history of Indian cricket. The former India opener-turned-politician said that people should talk more about the player and added that he is a role model for youngsters in the country. Gambhir's comments for Pujara came after the player guided India home with an unbeaten 31-run knock in the final innings of the Delhi Test against Australia.
an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series against Australia, the Indian cricket team on Sunday visited the newly built Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya, a one-of-a-kind museum dedicated to the Prime Ministers of India.Earlier in the day, the Indian team retained the Border Gavaskar Trophy with a six-wicket win inside three days in the second Test against the visitors."A walk through the corridors of history! Exploring the rich legacy of India's Prime Ministers, who rebuilt the nation post Independence. #TeamIndia had an immersive experience at the fascinating @PMSangrahalaya, which celebrates and showcases the journey of India. @PMOIndia," BCCI wrote while sharing a video of the visit.
Former IPS officer Neeraj Kumar, who strayed into the world of cricket when he was appointed head of BCCI's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) in 2015, says during his stint, he realised fixing is the proverbial tip of the iceberg of corruption in cricket and a "minuscule percentage of the large-scale chicanery that cricket administrators indulge in". Published by Juggernaut Books, "A Cop in Cricket" is an account of Kumar's personal trials as ACU chief (June 1, 2015 - May 31, 2018) at the BCCI and his "witness statement of the three critical years of the national cricket body caught in the throes of change".
