"Wanted Ishan To Get...": Skipper Rohit Sharma On His Displeased Gesture Towards Debutant

India registered a big victory over West Indies in the first Test of the two-match series on Saturday. The Rohit Sharma-led side brutally thrashed the hosts by an innings and 141 runs on Day 3 of the match and had a winning start to their World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle. Asked to bowl first, the visitors bundled out West Indies for just 150 in the first innings and then went onto post 421/5, before declaring in the first session on Day 3. However, skipper Rohit Sharma's displeased gesture towards wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan went viral.

"At No Stage He Was Panicking...": India Skipper Rohit Sharma On Yashasvi Jaiswal's Debut

Yashasvi Jaiswal always had the talent and now he has shown that he belongs at the highest level, India skipper Rohit Sharma said following the southpaw's 171 on debut in the first Test against West Indies. Jaiswal became only the third Indian to score 150 on debut and his big break came after sensational performances in IPL and domestic cricket. Rohit, who also got a hundred, shared a 229-run stand with Jaiswal. "He has the talent, he has shown us in the past that he is ready. Came and batted sensibly. The temperament was also tested, at no stage he was panicking. The chats we had were to remind him that 'you belong here. You have done the hard yards, enjoy your time here'," said Rohit after an innings and 141-run win.

Australia lucky to have skipper Kerr, says Raso ahead of World Cup

Pakistan Skipper Babar Azam Says Ready To Play 'Anyone, Anywhere' In India During ICC World Cup 2023

Pakistan are ready to take on any side at any venue in India during this year's World Cup, skipper Babar Azam said Thursday as the team awaited government approval to participate in the tournament. Pakistan are drawn to play India at Ahmedabad's 132,000-capacity Narendra Modi stadium on October 15 -- the first time they will meet on either's home turf since 2012. The neighbours are bitter political adversaries and usually only meet in international tournaments at neutral venues, most recently during the T20 World Cup in Australia last year. The Pakistan Cricket Board wrote to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the interior and foreign ministries this week asking for formal permission to take part in the tournament.

West Indies Skipper Reveals Brian Lara's Big Advice To Outplay Rohit Sharma-Led India

Legendary Brian Lara's tips on situational awareness of the game will greatly help the West Indies batters during the two-Test series against India beginning on July 12, feels skipper Kraigg Brathwaite. West Indies have received a huge boost ahead of the multi-format series against India with Lara joining them as the team's performance mentor. "It's great to have him here. In terms of the conversations we have with him, we always learn and he's big on planning... on how you are going to score your runs. His advice on situations is great and it will only help the batters," Brathwaite said in a statement on Cricket West Indies. Lara had worked with the team earlier this year on the tours of Zimbabwe and South Africa and the captain said he has a positive influence on the players.

"Your Job As A Batsman...": Ex-Australia Skipper's Blunt Remark On Jonny Bairstow's Incident

Former Australian captain Mark Taylor has reminded cricketers that if stumping is one of the modes of dismissals permitted by the laws of the game then it's entirely the batsman's responsibility to guard his wicket. England batter Jonny Bairstow's dismissal on the final day of the second Ashes Test at Lord's has brought stumping into focus again with discussion about spirit of the game overriding the rules of cricket. On the final day of the second Test, Bairstow ducked a slow bouncer from Australia's Cameron Green and walked out of the crease, thinking that the ball was already 'dead'.

"He Is A freak...": Australia Star Praises England Skipper Ben Stokes

Following his side's 43-run win over England in the second Ashes Test on Sunday, star Australian batter Steve Smith called Ben Stokes' innings "an unbelievable player who has done some incredible things." Ben Stokes' incredible knock of 155 runs couldn't secure the win for his side as Australian bowlers bounced and won the 2nd Ashes Test by 43 runs at the Lord's Cricket Ground on Sunday.
