There is a reason why Shubman Gill has been made vice-captain: Rohit Sharma

Shubman Gill is a potential successor to India captain Rohit Sharma in the ODI format and the latter was all praise for his opening partner on Wednesday, saying there is a reason why he has been made the vice-captain of the side. Gill had a forgettable Test tour of Australia, like the majority of Indian batters but his numbers in the ODI format are phenomenal. "Gill is a very, very classy player. There was never a doubt about his ability in this squad. We tend to mix formats and I don't think that's the right way to judge any player," Rohit said. "Certain players have their strength in certain formats and if one format doesn't go well, it doesn't mean that the other formats will be the same. It's there for all of us to see what happened in Australia and things have changed certainly in a different format. "With Gill, we know the numbers are crazy. If you look at it, he has been superb for us in the last 3-4 years that he has batted. Obviously, there is a reason that he has been ...

You tried to break my legs: Rohit hails PAK-born bowler after net session

With his quick yorkers directed at Rohit Sharma's toes, Pakistan-born net bowler Awais Ahmed caught the attention of the cricket world, including the revered India skipper. Rohit praised the bowler after facing some fiery deliveries in the nets, and the India captain also playfully told the young pacer that he was "trying to break his legs" with his toe-crushing yorkers. "You're a class bowler. Aap hamara joota, pair todne ki koshish kar rahe the inswinging yorker maarke. Badhiya! Thank you, aap log idhar aake humko help kar rahe ho, bada achha lag raha hai (You're a top-class bowler. With your inswinging yorkers, you were trying to break my legs, well done! Thank you for coming here and helping us," Rohit said. The India skipper also spoke about Awais, and his other net-bowling colleague Wasim Akram, during the pre-match press conference here on Wednesday.

I would rather focus on my rhythm and execution than speed: Nahid Rana

Eager to test his skills against the best in the game, young Bangladesh pace sensation Nahid Rana said his focus would be on rhythm and execution of his plans rather than speed as he prepares for the Champions Trophy, the first ICC event of his international career. The 22-year-old Rana, who holds the record for the fastest delivery (152 kph) bowled by a Bangladesh cricketer, faces his first major challenge when his team takes on India in its campaign opener here on Thursday. He will be up against the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. "I would rather concentrate on getting into the right rhythm and my release, he told the ICC. "I have learnt that looking after your body and staying fit is the key to bowling quick. If I feel good, then I know that the pace would be right. "But then again, when you see or hear that the pace is around 150kph, that's a nice feeling, added the talented pacer, who averages 145kph for most of his spells. Bangladesh will play Pakistan and New Zealan

Virat will score heavily and he's going to start from here: Robin Uthappa

Virat Kohli will return to his run-scoring ways in the Champions Trophy and lead the team's batting this year along with Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, reckons former India player Robin Uthappa. The 36-year-old Kohli's recent struggles in Test cricket have led to discussions about his career, but he has no plans to retire and aims to play in the 2027 ODI World Cup. "Virat will score heavily this year and I think he's going to start doing that from here. I think Virat is there and thereabouts. He will be among runs very, very soon," Uthappa, who has played with Kohli for India and RCB, told PTI Videos in an exclusive interview on Wednesday. "I mean the standard of runs that we are used to seeing Virat score. So, I think it's just a matter of time." he observed. Kohli has been facing criticism for his form in Test cricket of late, and barring a hundred in the series opener in Perth, he has struggled to get going in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, mostly getting out to balls

India are the favourites to win Champions Trophy, believe Morgan and Watson

India will be the favourites to win the Champions Trophy despite the absence of ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, believe former players Eoin Morgan and Shane Watson. A vital cog in India's title winning campaign in last year's T20 World Cup, Bumrah will miss the eight-team Champions Trophy which got underway on Thursday, but both Morgan and Watson believe Rohit Sharma's team has the necessary firepower to win the title. To do the runners and riders, the side that's the front-runner, best positioned across the squads, I would say India out and out favourites, Morgan said during the International Masters League's Captain's Day event here on Wednesday. I can't really pick any holes in their side. I know that's been the case the last couple of tournaments they've gone into. Finally, (at) Ahmedabad, where Australia picked them, and then the T20 (World Cup) win, where they robbed the trophy out of the South African hands.
