after they both finished their successful campaign today. They can’t be more satisfied.
Ravi Shastri tells me Virat Kohli could have carried on for at least two more years as Test captain but India would have won a lot of Tests at home and a lot of people would have not been able to digest his success.
#ViratKohli
Virat Kohli dropped 4 catches and claimed one that he barely picked after one bounce - all at slips. Strange that no one in the commentary box chose to speak about it at length or question KL Rahul’s inability to replace him with someone else.
#INDvsBAN
Before the BCCI and Selectors could make a formal announcement, Virat and Shastri, it seems, have already announced India’s next T20 captain - Rohit Sharma.
#ViratKohli
#RohitSharma
New Zealand batsman Rachin Ravindra, born to Indian couple, was given that name as a combination of two Indian greats - Rahul (Dravid) and Sachin (Tendulkar). One of those greats will be on the opposite side as plays his first international game in India.
#INDvNZ
What the result of this series also establishes/suggests/reiterates is that Ashwin is not India’s No.1 overseas spinner. Ravindra Jadeja is.

#Ashwin
Rahane may not have captain written against his name in the next Test series that India plays, but he will be a
#Leader
for as long as he plays in any Indian team
#Rahane
ICC prohibits cricketers from making political statement during such events. MS Dhoni was asked to remove the insignia from his w/k gloves in the 2019 World Cup. Even in 2014 during a Test against India, ICC had banned Moeen Ali from wearing “Save Gaza” and “Free Palestine”
This was for our brothers and sisters in Gaza. 🤲🏼
Happy to contribute in the win. Credits to the whole team and especially Abdullah Shafique and Hassan Ali for making it easier.
Extremely grateful to the people of Hyderabad for the amazing hospitality and support throughout.
Deepak Chahar ruled out of the home series against Sri Lanka with a grade II tear in his right thigh. He has already left the bio-bubble and will take five-six weeks of rehab. Expected return in the IPL.
Rahul Dravid takes ICC to cleaners for rating Ahmedabad and Chennai wickets as ‘average.’
“I would respectfully disagree with the average ratings of the two wickets by the ICC because I think they were good wickets. If you only want to see 4s-6s being hit, then you have T20s for
BCCI has demoted Hardik Pandya, Wriddhiman Saha, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav have been demoted from category B (Rs 3 CR) to Category C in their Central Contracts (Rs 1cr). No contracts for Kuldeep Yadav and Navdeep Saini.
Rishabh Pant giving England and McCullum a taste of their own medicine. Every time
@RishabhPant17
plays these kind of knocks, one thinks this is the best knock he has played and then he comes up with an even better one, and the cycle continues.

Harbhajan Singh on
@IndiaToday
says for T20s get a coach who has retired from cricket recently, someone like Ashish Nehra and for captaincy, Hardik Pandya is choice.

Rohit Sharma on Virat’s suggestion of playing Test cricket in just 5 big centres in India: “if you want to promote Test cricket, it should be played in every part of the country and not restrict it to just a handful of big centres.”
Deepak Chahar has a stiff back, and not a twisted ankle, because of which he has been ruled out of the last two ODIs against SA. He has moved to NCA in Bangalore and is likely to fly to Australia with Mohd Shami on October 16.
MS Dhoni chooses to be the second retained player on the list of four retained players by
#CSK
. Jadeja is the first player retained by them for Rs 16cr.
#Dhoni
It’s been almost an hour and Mohammad Rizwan has still not left the nets. He is constantly sweeping and reverse-sweeping a local chinaman net bowler. Getting ready for a certain Kuldeep Yadav.
#WorldCup2023
The BCCI review meeting is over, and it has been decided that IPL franchises will now have to work in tandem with the NCA to monitor the fitness of the players participating in the IPL. Yo-yo tests also return and for emerging players, domestic cricket is a must.
BIG ONE FROM VIRAT: "When I left the Test captaincy, only 1 person messaged me & that was MS Dhoni. So many people have my phone number but only he texted me. These things matter to me. If you want to give me suggestions give me 1-on-1, no point saying things on tv."
#ViratKohli
Not one half-century from either side, and
@ImRo45
gets a hundred on a wicket where everyone found the going tough. He made it look so easy.
#INDvAUS
#IndvsAusOnSportsTak
Very well played Sanju Samson, but he should have won it for India. Played only 9 of the last 18 deliveries, and not a single ball in the penultimate over.
#INDvsSA
Rohit Sharma standing at slips, close to the stumps, with T Dilip giving him some catching practice at Motera. Guess it’s going to be a slowish, turning track for the final with Rohit prepping himself up for the India. spinners at the slips.
#WorldcupFinal
‘Rohit Sharma the clear choice for captaincy in all three formats and we’ll build the leadership under him,” chief selector Chetan Sharma. Pujara and Rahane dropped from Test series against Sri Lanka at home. Virat and Pant rested for T20Is.
Post match, Sanjay Manjrekar asks Jadeja: “First question, you are Ok to talk to me, right Jaddu”?
Jadeja says, “yeah, I don’t have any problem.”
#INDvsPAK
Quinton de Kock has retired from Test cricket with immediate effect. Won’t be there for the remainder of the Test series against India. He is just 29.
#INDvSA
Irrespective of whether
#CSK
win or lose this one, this could be a blessing in disguise for them with
#Dhoni
getting runs and confidence right at the start of the season.
#IPL2022
Hardik Pandya to lead India in the first T20I against England.
Mohd Shami and Shikhar included only in ODIs.
Ruturaj, Sanju Samson part of only the first T20I.
Ravi Bishnoi also in T20Is and not ODIs.
18-member squad.
Now that Pujara has been dropped and the No.3 spot is vacant, Sunil Gavaskar suggests Virat Kohli should take up that one-down position.
#Virat
#Pujara
#Rahane
Virat says he was never told to not leave the T20I captaincy by anyone in the BCCI. Sourav Ganguly had earlier said he had asked Virat not to quit captaincy in T20s. Surely, they both are not on the same page.
#ViratKohli
Hardik Pandya to lead in T20Is against Sri Lanka, will also be the vice-captain in ODIs. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma out of T20Is. Shikhar Dhawan also to be left out of the ODIs. Ravindra Jadeja still not available, Bumrah should be back for NZ series.

Imran Khan is not resigning as Pak PM. He says “I have played cricket for 20 years and I have always fought till the last ball.”

What used to be Mumbai Indians’ biggest strength once has now become their biggest weakness - Hardik, Pollard and Krunal aren’t the same threat anymore.

Bajrang has been using the same display image on his whatsapp for last 5 years that was of the Tokyo2020 gold medal. Unfortunately, he couldn’t get one but congratulations on this bronze because it’s an

medal. Says: Will “finally have his own image there.”
@BajrangPunia
Virat Kohli on Yuzi Chahal's exclusion from T20 World Cup squad: Was a difficult and challenging call. We decided to back Rahul Chahar for a reason, he is a guy who bowls with pace. The wickets in UAE will be slow and the guys who bowl with some pace, would do better...
Not there in the squad for India - New Zealand T20 series
RESTED: Virat, Jadeja, Bumrah, Shami.
DROPPED: Hardik Pandya, Rahul Chahar (selected for India A), Varun Chakravarthy
Can’t say: Shardul Thakur
India’s youngest ever Olympic medallist Aman Sherawat when asked what he likes to do apart from wrestling, says “Apart from wrestling, I like to watch Jethalal (Tarak Mehta ka Oolta Chashma).”
Rohit Sharma on Virat being unwell during his knock of 186: “Don’t believe what you see on social media. Don’t think Virat was sick, just that he was coughing a bit.”
Both Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya have one thing in common - Confidence. That confidence and game sense won them and India the game today.

#INDvsEND
Very brave and honest of
@imVkohli
to admit what he has.
- Was trying to fake my intensity a bit recently.
- For the 1st time in 10 years, didn’t touch a bat for a month.
- Was feeling mentally down.
- Faking to be strong is worse than admitting to be weak.
@StarSportsIndia
How well did Rohit Sharma bat on this wicket!
Looking at the conditions where majority of the batters struggled, Rohit came up with one of his finest ODI innings.
#INDvsENG
Since Rohit Sharma was appointed India's T20I & ODI captain in early November, India have played 29 international matches (all three formats).
Rohit (capt) - 14
Others (capt) - 15
*since Nov 2021
A fourth-inning double century that may have saved a Test that seemed all but lost,
@babarazam258
has played one of the greatest Test knock, if not the greatest, in a long long time. More than 400 deliveries against this Aussie attack.

Who would have thought Dada’s (
