Rahul Dravid: I hope money is not an incentive to play Test cricket. It is just a recognition that it’s a tough and hard format. You go through a lot…
We don’t celebrate 100 T20Is like we do 100 Tests right?
It’s not an incentive, it’s a reward…

Abhishek Sharma scored 485 runs in SMAT at a strike-rate of 192.46 and is more than a handy left-arm spinner. But... he will be nowhere close to T20 WC call because of our obsession with ____ 🙂

I was having issues (with back) after the World Cup especially in the longer format but no body was agreeing… the switch from red-ball to white-ball at the start was a bit challenging at the start but it’s fine now. Very pleased with the season: Shreyas Iyer

BCCI were always in control of the Rishabh Pant situation and the goal was to have him fit as as a "wicketkeeper-batter" for the IPL.
The BCCI, not Delhi Capitals, will decide what he does in IPL. Like they did with Bumrah & Pandya, the board is focussing on the big picture!
