Sports Commentator Harsha Bhogle "Is Puzzled" By Discussion On Tilak Varma Missing 50 In T20I vs WI. AB de Villiers' Reply Is Gold

Hardik Pandya, who is the captain of the Indian cricket team in the ongoing T20I series against West Indies, was subjected to plenty of criticism on social media after the third T20I on Tuesday. Despite India winning comfortably chasing a target of 160 runs, Hardik has received a lot of flat for a strange reason. He hit a six on what turned out to be the last ball of the match to finish the chase, despite the fact that the non-striker Tilak Varma needed only 1 run to complete his half-century.

Steve Smith To Open For Australia Against South Africa In T20 Career First

Steve Smith will open the batting when Australia meet South Africa in an upcoming Twenty20 series, selectors said, putting him in the box seat to do the job alongside David Warner at next year's World Cup. It is a remarkable renaissance for the 34-year-old, who was largely overlooked for Australia's starting XI at last year's failed T20 World Cup campaign. Smith, who usually bats at three or four, relaunched himself as an opener for the Sydney Sixers in a short Big Bash League cameo at the end of last season, smacking two sizzling centuries.

Mitchell Marsh Named Australia's New T20 Captain

All-rounder Mitch Marsh will get the first chance of becoming Aaron Finch's successor as Australia's T20 captain after he was announced as skipper for the upcoming T20I series against South Africa. Finch retired from T20I cricket earlier this year after a successful 76-match stint as captain that was highlighted by guiding Australia to the ICC Men's T20 World Cup title in Dubai in 2021 and selectors have taken their time on settling on his replacement. Marsh will be given first crack on winning the top job, with the talented all-rounder named captain for the T20 component of Australia's white-ball tour of South Africa that commences later this month.

Can Ravichandran Ashwin Be Called 'GOAT'? AB De Villiers Gives A Condition To Claim The Tag

Legendary South African batter AB de Villiers heaped praises on young Indian left-handed batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a century on his international debut against West Indies in the first Test, calling him a "hot prospect for India in future".

'Will Need Someone Like Ajinkya Rahane For South Africa Tour': India Batting Coach Vikram Rathour

Ajinkya Rahane's assured approach in the middle has been the hallmark of his comeback and the Indian team will need him to maintain form when it tours South Africa later this year, said batting coach Vikram Rathour. Rahane's 89 and 46 was probably the only positive for India in their loss to Australia in the World Test Championship final in London last month. It was Rahane's first Test in 18 months and following that, he was named vice-captain for the ongoing tour of the West Indies.
