Kapil Dev says RoKo should continue as long as they keep delivering results

Legendary Kapil Dev asserted that even stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are not a "certainty" in the Indian team but the veteran batters should be given a chance as long as they are performing. Rohit, 39, and Kohli, 37, are at the fag end of their storied careers, but the former found himself in a pressure situation after two lowly outings against England in the ongoing three-match ODI series. "Certainty is never ever applied to anybody. Whoever keeps performing, keeps playing. It doesn't matter (who he is). I would say, you keep watching the performance and let them play as much as they can," Kapil told PTI during an interaction at the Kapil Dev Sunil Gupta Hospital here. Kapil said selectors and team management are best placed to take a decision on such senior players. "Even Sachin Tendulkar had a lot of cricket left in him (when he retired). Let the selectors do that job. I'm not going to say who's dropped. It's the selectors' and the team management's job. I'm assess

Sobers was everything we dreamed of, says Gavaskar; Tendulkar pays tribute

Sir Garfield Sobers was the greatest cricketer to have walked the earth and "everything we dream of becoming when we first pick up a bat or a ball as a kid", former India captain Sunil Gavaskar said. Widely regarded as the finest all-rounder in cricket history, Sobers passed away at his home in Barbados on Friday, just 11 days short of his 90th birthday. Across 93 Tests for the West Indies, he redefined the limits of the sport with his brilliance as a batter, bowler and fielder. "This is probably the saddest day for the game of cricket. The greatest cricketer to walk the earth has left us. No words can ever do justice to Sir Garfield Sobers, the cricketer. "He was everything we dream of becoming when we pick up the bat or the ball as kids," Gavaskar said. "Memories keep flooding back and that's what I will hold close to my heart forever. Rest in peace, Sir Garfield. You will stay eternally in our hearts," he added. Another all time great Sachin Tendulkar fondly recalled the time

Former West Indies captain Sir Garfield Sobers passes away at the age of 89

Sir Garfield Sobers, one of the greatest all-rounders in cricket history and a former West Indies captain, died here on Friday at the age of 89. The death of the legendary cricketer was confirmed by his son Daniel. Sobers was only 10 days shy of completing his 90th birthday. One of the finest all-rounders the game has ever seen, Sobers played 93 Tests and scored 8,032 runs at 57.78 with 26 centuries and 30 half-centuries between March 1954 to April 1974. A left-handed batter and also a left-arm fast medium pace bowler, Sobers claimed 235 wickets in Test cricket. He played in a solitary ODI, taking one wicket. He was also the first-ever batter to have hit six sixes in an over in First-Class cricket, playing for Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan in 1968.

ICC suspends Pakistan's Mohammad Nawaz for three months over doping

Pakistan spin-bowling all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz has been handed a three-month suspension for failing a dope test after consuming a "substance of abuse" unrelated to sporting performance during the T20 World Cup earlier this year, the ICC said on Friday. Nawaz's sentence would be reduced to one month on completion of a substance abuse treatment programme. His period of ineligibility is backdated to May 1, which is the date he started a voluntary provisional suspension. "Pakistan spin-bowling all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz has accepted a three-month period of ineligibility (which will be reduced to one month on completion of a substance of abuse treatment programme) for breaching the ICC Anti-Doping Code," the world body stated in a press release. "Subject to Nawaz completing a substance of abuse rehabilitation programme to the ICC's satisfaction, Nawaz will not be required to serve the remainder of the three-month period of ineligibility." The 32-year-old had tested positive for a ...

ENG vs IND: Root's unbeaten 99 powers England to 4 wicket win vs India

Joe Root anchored England's chase with an unbeaten 99 as the hosts defeated India by four wickets in the second ODI to level the three-match series here on Thursday. England overhauled the modest target with 35 balls to spare. England, who opted to field, dismissed India for 233 in 44 overs following a mid-innings collapse. Virat Kohli (65 off 66 balls) and Shreyas Iyer (66 off 71) were the main contributors to India's below-par total, while Jofra Archer led the England attack with figures of 3/47. From 178/3 inside 32 overs, India were bowled out in the 44th over. India won the first ODI at Birmingham by six wickets. The final ODI is at the Lord's on Sunday. Brief Scores: India 233; 44 overs (Virat Kohli 65, Shreyas Iyer 66; Jofra Archer 3/47, Gus Atkinson 3/50) lost to England 235/6; 44.1 overs (Joe Root 99 not out; Gurnoor Brar 2/59) by six wickets.

Kohli returns to form with 65, Rohit falters as IND stumble to 233 vs ENG

Virat Kohli's confident 65 reminded all and sundry of his salad days but Rohit Sharma's continuous struggles did contribute to India's below-par 233 in 44 overs in the second ODI against England here on Thursday. The middle-order caved in inexplicably with four wickets lost for 15 runs in a space of 26 deliveries as Jofra Archer (3/47 in 10 overs) breathed fire in each spell that he bowled. Saqib Mahmood (2/52 in 9 overs) and Gus Atkinson (3/50 in 9 overs) were also among wickets. Kohli's 66-ball-knock had eight delectable hits to the fence but none more aesthetically pleasing than the bowler's back-drive off Jofra Archer but it was painful to see one of India's greatest ODI stalwarts Rohit struggle to a painstaking 26 off 47 balls which included nine dots in a row before he surrendered in a meek fashion. Vice-captain Shreyas Iyer turned out to be the batting hero for India with a 66 off 71 balls as he countered the short ball well but didn't get much support from the other end. T
