An Indian team in transition will feel robbed of an opportunity as torrential rain came in its way of potentially winning the second Test against West Indies and completing a 2-0 series whitewash in Port of Spain on Monday. Eyeing a clean sweep after their victory inside three days in Dominica, India called the shots here too and set the hosts an imposing target of 365. But the match ended in a draw after the fifth and final day's play was washed out. Having taken two wickets to leave the beleaguered West Indies trailing by 289 runs by the end of the fourth day's play, the Indians would have certainly fancied their chances of emerging victorious and grabbing a full 24 points in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle.

Australia all-rounder Cameron Green admitted the tourists had "got out of jail" in an Ashes-clinching draw at Old Trafford. England dominated the fourth Test in Manchester and led by 275 runs on first innings. But with rain meaning only 30 overs were possible across the final two days on Saturday and Sunday, Australia held on for a draw. The result meant Australia, as the holders, retained the Ashes -- they are 2-1 up with just this week's fifth Test at The Oval left to play. "I think we definitely got away with one there," Green, one of Australia's not out batsmen, told the cricket.com.au website.
Having watched Virat Kohli's on-field exploits with awe all these years, it was a surreal feeling for Mukesh Kumar when the former Indian captain rushed to hug him after the Bengal seamer got his maiden Test wicket. Making his Test debut a few months before his 30th birthday, the man from Bihar's Gopalganj is a late bloomer and has had to come up the ranks proving his mettle right from Bengal U-23 to India A in last seven years. "When I got the wicket, Virat bhaiya ran up and hugged me. I was in a different world. The man I have watched all these years on TV and looked up to is hugging you. It felt great," a beaming Mukesh told his senior pace bowling partner (younger in age though) Mohammed Siraj in an interaction for BCCI.TV.
