Virat Kohli is without a doubt one of the best cricketers in the world right now. With millions of fans worshipping him, professional cricketers and colleagues consider him one of the best. His association with the Indian Premier League goes back to 2008 when he was fresh off his Under 19 World Cup win. Since, then Kohli has become the face of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, proving his loyalty over the years. But did you know Ipl fans had once lashed out at the team for retaining Kohli and letting Rahul Dravid go?
We will have to turn the pages on this bit of Ipl history back to 2010, two years after the Ipl started. As the league was gaining momentum, so was Kohli. Still fresh and young to the world of Ipl, Kohli was beginning his run machine phase.

New Delhi, Sep 3 (Ians) Former Indian cricketers Mohammed Kaif and Gautam Gambhir engaged in a heated discussion over Ishan Kishan and Kl Rahul about who is the ideal candidate for the No. 5 batting position following latter’s impressive 82-run knock against Pakistan in the Asia Cup.
During the discussion on Star Sports, Kaif expressed the opinion that, despite Ishan’s impressive half-century against Pakistan, he should make room for Kl Rahul in the lineup. In contrast, Gambhir argued that current form holds greater significance than a player’s reputation or name.
“Kl Rahul is a proven match-winner. At No. 5, his numbers are fabulous. So Rahul Dravid knows, there is that clarity in his mind that…remember, Mohammed Shami was dropped today. So, when Kl Rahul is fit again, he will be playing in the XI and Ishan Kishan will have to wait for his next opportunity,” said Kaid.
“Ishan is doing all that he needs.

New Delhi, Aug 6 (Ians) When Rahul Dravid took over as India’s head coach, he was seen as a ‘crisis man’ by fans and experts, who expected him to bail Team India out from all the off-field controversies and also end the Icc titles drought. However, his tenure as a coach so far has been very disappointing and has invited severe criticism before the upcoming Odi World Cup.
Dravid replaced Ravi Shastri as India’s head coach after a successful stint as the head of cricket at Nca, where he oversaw a successful India U-19 and A tour programme. He was initially hesitant to take on a coaching role with the senior team full of stars, but he was convinced by Bcci officials and he later accepted the job.

More recently, Kuldeep bamboozled West Indies batters in the first Odi at Kensington Oval, taking a stunning four for six in only three overs, before taking 1-30 in the second game. Former India left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha believes Kuldeep’s clarity over his role and plan is helping him excel in ODIs.

Bridgetown (Barbados), July 30 (Ians) India head coach Rahul Dravid has defended the decision to experiment excessively with the team combination in the ongoing Odi series against West Indies and the call to rest skipper Rohit Sharma and fellow experienced batter Virat Kohli in the second match, which visitors lost at the Kensington Oval, here on Saturday.
After rejigging their batting line-up in the first Odi, India continued their experimentation as they rested Rohit and Kohli for the second Odi and the move backfired as the Caribbean team cruised to a six-wicket triumph that squared the series at 1-1 on Saturday.
However, Dravid isn’t too concerned with the results and explained the selection decision, saying that it was important to get a look at fringe players like Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup and Icc Men’s Cricket World Cup later this year.

Shubman Gill has to alter his game; improve on batting in slow and low conditions, says Wasim Jaffer
New Delhi, July 22 (Ians) Former India opener Wasim Jaffer believes Shubman Gill must alter his game and show some improvement if he wishes to bat for long at number three in the Test team, especially when playing on slow and low conditions.
Gill volunteered to bat at number three for the ongoing Test series against West Indies, but hasn’t quite hit the straps at a position whose previous occupants were Rahul Dravid and Cheteshwar Pujara. In the Dominica Test, Gill’s first innings at number three yielded only six runs. In the first innings of the ongoing Test at Port of Spain, he could make only ten runs.
“Away from India in Sena countries, he’s a good choice as number three. But in slow and low conditions, he has to alter his game and improve on it. We have seen this in this series against West Indies, that...

Port of Spain, July 21 (Ians) Over missing out on a chance to score his second Test century on the trot on Day One of the second Test against West Indies, India’s left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal said he would learn from it and try to overcome the disappointment in future.
Put in to bat first by West Indies at Queen’s Park Oval, Jaiswal and captain Rohit Sharma shared a 139-run opening stand, before the former was out for 57 off 74 balls, giving a catch to deep gully after trying to chase a wide delivery off Jason Holder. By the time day’s play ended, India reached 288-4 in 84 overs, with Virat Kohli unbeaten on 87.
“Of course I’m disappointed, but it happens in cricket. I’ve to keep learning and make sure what I can do the next time I come in that situation. It’s okay, it’s cricket.

New Delhi, July 20 (Ians) After the much-awaited Asia Cup schedule is out, Team India head coach Rahul Dravid acknowledged the buzz surrounding the possibility of playing against Pakistan thrice in the tournament, and said his team would take the tournament “step by step,” focusing on one game at a time.
The schedule for the 2023 Asia Cup, co-hosted by Pakistan and Sri Lanka, was announced on Wednesday with the iconic clash between India and Pakistan set for September 2 in Kandy.
There is a possibility of three potential encounters between India and Pakistan during the continental event if they progress to the Super 4s and ultimately make it to the final.
“The schedule is out and you have to qualify for the Super4s to play Pakistan three times, so one step at a time. I don’t believe in counting my chickens too much. I want to play one game at a time,...

Trinidad, July 20 (Ians) Team India chief coach Rahul Dravid has used the eve of Virat Kohli’s 500th international appearance to reveal what makes the former skipper so good at his craft and predict what the future holds for the legendary batter.
Kohli will take the field for the 500th time in his distinguished international career when India take on the West Indies in the second and final Test of their Icc World Test Championship series in Trinidad and the 34-year-old still remains one of the most consistent performers in all formats of the game.
While Dravid played alongside Kohli at the backend of his playing career, it is only in recent times that their relationship has really blossomed as they have spent time working with each other with a common goal for Indian cricket, reports Icc.
And while Dravid admitted he was in awe of the achievement by Kohli to reach the 500-game milestone,...

Roseau (Dominica), July 13 (Ians) India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has admitted that the disappointment of missing out on selection for last month’s Icc World Test Championship Final against Australia spurred him on as he returned to his best form with a record-breaking 33rd five-wicket haul in the first Test against the West Indies.
Ashwin, the No.1 bowler in Test cricket rankings, has rebounded quickly from missing out on selection for the Wtc Final as he ripped through the West Indies batting line-up for a 5-60 haul that helped India bundle out the hosts for 150 and take a dominant position in the first Test in Dominica.
Ashwin got the key wicket of opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul for 12 early in his spell, becoming the first Indian bowler to dismiss both father and son in Test matches. He then used his experience to pry four further scalps in an excellent return to the Test...

Gill had been opening the batting since his Test debut during the 2020/21 triumphant Border-Gavaskar Trophy campaign in Australia. But on the eve of the first Test match against West Indies, India skipper Rohit Sharma revealed that Gill had expressed to head coach Rahul Dravid to bat at number three, allowing India to field a left-right opening combination in Rohit and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal.
“In India A matches, I batted at Nos. 3 and 4. They asked me where I wanted to bat, and I said I wanted No. 3. It is a position where I want to consolidate,” said Gill in a pre-game chat with broadcasters.

Roseau (Dominica), July 12 (Ians) India head coach Rahul Dravid has recalled Virat Kohli’s Test debut in 2011 in West Indies, saying that he had seen something special in the right-handed batter.
In 2011, Windsor Park Stadium in Dominica hosted a Test match during India’s tour of the West Indies. A young Kohli was also part of the playing eleven for the match and scored 30 runs in the first innings as the game ended in a draw, leading to India’s 1-0 series win.
“When I came here back in 2011, that was very special for the island and the ground here. To come back here in a different capacity as a coach and to bring your team here, I think Virat was the only one who was there when we came here back in 2011.

New Delhi, June 16 (Ians) The Indian women’s cricket team will be back on the international circuit through a tour of Bangladesh for the white-ball series in July. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side last played on the international circuit when they lost to Australia by five runs in the semi-final of the Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa in February.
“Yes, we will be playing a white-ball series against India women’s national cricket team in July and all the matches will be played at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium,” Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel, Bangladesh Cricket Board’s women’s wing chairman, was quoted as saying in a Cricbuzz report.

New Delhi, June 13 (Ians) Former Bcci president Sourav Ganguly has advised the Indian team to play fearless cricket in order to end the long title drought at International Cricket Council (Icc) events.
Fans had high hopes from India at the World Test Championship final, but they suffered a crushing defeat against Australia at The Oval.
With another loss, India’s prolonged hunt for their first Icc title since 2013 continues. After the Champions Trophy win in 2023, India have featured in four semifinals and four finals of major Icc events but haven’t been able to cross the final hurdle.
“In the last 10 years, they played four finals. It’s not that they’ve been absolutely poor. They have just not won the big finals, hopefully that will happen. As someone who has seen Indian cricket closely. My only advice is to play without fear when you get to these big moments.

London, June 11 (Ians) India head coach Rahul Dravid believes his bowlers could have done better on The Oval pitch, where they allowed Australia to pile on 469 runs in the first innings of the World Test Championship (Wtc) Final and admitted the team had “big players” who could have formed a solid partnership to chase down a daunting 444.
On Day One of the clash, Travis Head (163) and Steve Smith (121) took full advantage of a lacklustre Indian bowling line-up to stitch a 285-run partnership and take Australia’s first innings total to 469. It meant India played catchup throughout the match despite a late fightback from Ajinkya Rahane (89), and Shardul Thakur (51) with the bat in the first innings.
After conceding a huge 173-run lead, India were set a mammoth 444 to chase. In a bid to break the world record for the most-successful fourth-innings chase in the history of Test cricket, India had filled...

London, June 9 (Ians) As he returned to action in the longest form of the game after a gap of more than a year, experienced middle-order batter Ajinkya Rahane achieved a milestone — becoming the 13th Indian batter to score 5000 or more runs in Test cricket.
Rahane, who played his last Test against South Africa at Cape Town in January 2022, struck a half-century to rescue India from a precarious 151/5 at the end of the second day’s play in the World Test Championship Final against Australia at The Oval here.
The 25-year-old from Maharashtra, who was batting on 29 overnight, completed his half-century off 92 deliveries and went on to share a vital partnership of 109 runs for the seventh wicket with all-rounder Shardul Thakur
At the end of the opening session on Day 3, Rahane was batting on 89 off 122 deliveries. Though he got out soon after the resumption of play, without adding any run to his score,...

New Delhi, June 9 (Ians) As India seemed to struggle against a dominant Australia in the first two days of the World Test Championship (Wtc) Final at The Oval, London, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has expressed his belief that India let themselves down in the first hour of the opening day of the one-off Test.
Australia maintained their pole position on Thursday, posting 469 in the first innings, thanks to Travis Head’s 163 and Steve Smith’s 121 and polished bowling performance from their four fast bowlers, as they reduced Rohit Sharma-led side to 151/5.
“I think where they let themselves down was in the first hour yesterday and bowling too short. With the wicket conditions, the overhead conditions they had and the brand-new Dukes ball, they had to bowl fuller and get the ball driven back down the ground,” Ponting told the Icc.
“They needed to have Australia four or five...

It is not merely his ranking, but the fact that Ashwin is an all-wicket exponent and therefore potent even on pitches favouring faster bowlers.
India selected a side virtually for the first session of the match. The weather forecast was sunshine for the greater part of the game. Indeed, the second hour of the opening morning was sunny; and easier for batting than at the start of the Australian innings.
Once you win the toss with four quick bowlers in your pick, inserting the opposition is a no-brainer. Predictably, that is what Indian captain Rohit Sharma did. The Indians perhaps got carried away by the grass on the pitch and the temporarily overcast sky. Such conditions can be deceptive. While the track undoubtedly looked green, it was dry and there was no residual moisture underneath. This was because London, after a wet spring, hasn’t experienced much rain in the past 2-3 weeks.

“Certainly we’ve had conversations with Puji (Pujara) – about captaincy, batting, but also he leads Sussex.

London, June 5 (Ians) India head coach Rahul Dravid stated that his team is not under pressure in terms of thinking about ending a decade-long drought of winning a global trophy as they build up to play in their second successive World Test Championship (Wtc) Final against Australia at The Oval, starting from Wednesday.
Since winning the Icc Champions Trophy under Ms Dho’i’s leadership in England in 2013, India has been winless in global tournaments across all formats, something which has been a subject of huge discussion in the run-up to any competition.
India finished as runners-up in the 2014 T20 World Cup, 2017 Champions Trophy and 2021 World Test Championship final. Moreover, they crashed out of the semifinals of the 2015 and 2019 Odi World Cups, as well as the 2016 and 2022 T20 World Cups.
“No, not at all. We don’t feel any pressure in terms of trying to win an Icc trophy. Of course,...

On the other hand, the recent and anticipated sunshine could dry the track, without quite hardening it to generate disconcerting bounce. Last week in the England versus Ireland test at Lord’s north of the British capital’s River Thames, the wicket eased into a somewhat flat surface from the second day onwards.
India are handicapped by the unavailability of Jasprit Bumrah, Kannaur Lokesh Rahul and Rishabh Pant due to injuries. At the same time, it’s clear that five batsmen, an all-rounder, a wicket-keeper and four bowlers will constitute the playing XI. Speculation over who will stand behind the stumps is perhaps fanciful, since Kona Srikar Bharat is not only a better exponent with the gloves than Ishan Kishan, but has played at the highest level, that too, against Australia, whereas his rival...

While playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium for many years, Chahal mostly used to finish bowling his quota in the middle overs. However, things changed when he joined Rajasthan Royals in 2022.
In the Ipl 2022 season, Chahal won the Purple Cap after picking up 27 wickets, out of which seven came at the death. And in Ipl 2023, the leg-spinner was used even more in death overs and he finished the recently-concluded season with 21 wickets in 14 matches.
"When I joined Rajasthan Royals last year, Sanju Samson (skipper) told me that I have to bowl at least one over in death overs. And this year, I bowled even two at the death, which boosted my confidence and I feel my performance has also improved by 20-25 per cent because of that," Chahal told Ians in an interview on the sidelines of Red Bull Campus Cricket India Finals in Dehradun.

Indian cricketer Kl Rahul made an appearance on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, ‘The Ranveer Show’. While talking about his journey as a cricketer on the show, he also mentioned how he never had a mentor and a cricket figure from his hometown to look up to while growing up.
In the episode, Ranveer asked Kl Rahul about what it was like for a cricketer in his 20s to grow in front of the world?
In his response, the cricketer emphasised how having a mentor or someone to look up to who has previously gone through the trip might be beneficial. Someone who will share his experience, as well as the do’s and dont’s of dealing with pressure, and so on.
Kl Rahul, who grew up in a small town in Mangalore where he had no sporting hero’s to look up to and ending up becoming one of the few three format players,...

“You have one eye as a fan, but you also have one eye open as a coach. You are always looking to see how the boys are doing and seeing those who are part of the white-ball setup (for India), to see how they are going.”
“So, some regular discussions (happen) among the coaches as well. When you see something happening, we always text and keep messaging each other about stuff. Great to see some of the young kids,...

New Delhi, March 26 (Ians) Veteran India left-handed opener Shikhar Dhawan has admitted that if he was the team selector he would have picked Shubman Gill over him in the Odi squad, saying that the right-handed youngster is in exceptional form right now.
Dhawan made 688 runs in 22 matches in 2022 at an average of 34.40. But his strike-rate dipped from 94.51 from his debut in 2013 until 2021 to 74.21 in 2022. He last played for India in the ODIs against Bangladesh last year.
With Ishan Kishan smashing the fastest Odi double-century against Bangladesh in December last year, and Gill making 624 runs in nine matches, including an Odi double-hundred against New Zealand, so far in 2023, Dhawan wasn’t included in India’s recent series against Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Australia at home.
“When Rohit took over the captaincy he along with (coach) Rahul Dravid backed me enough. They told me they wanted me to focus on my...

Chennai, March 21 (Ians) India coach Rahul Dravid brushed aside the concerns around the recent form of Suryakumar Yadav in the ongoing Odi series against Australia, saying that the Mumbai batter is learning the 50-over game a little bit.
Surya has got two golden ducks against sizzling Mitchell Starc in the first two ODIs against Australia as Shreyas Iyer’s replacement at the crucial No.4 position so far in the series.
“Obviously, it’s unfortunate for Shreyas to get injured — he’s one of those guys we think will bat for us at No.4 and he has been given a lot of time in that position. Not really concerned so much about Suryakumar. You have got two first-ballers against two pretty good balls,” Dravid said in the pre-match presser of the series decider.
Dravid further added that the middle-order batter has played a lot of T20 cricket but hasn’t had...
