Despite the heavy backlash following the series loss, head coach Gautam Gambhir showed no signs of concern, shrugging off all the uproar at the pre-departure presser on Monday.
Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians have announced that they have retained their core players — Jasprit Bumrah, Surya Kumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, and Tilak Varma ahead of IPL 2025 season.
India skipper Rohit Sharma on Tuesday confirmed that pacer Mohammed Shami’s return to international cricket could be further delayed as a swelling on his knee “has put him back a little bit in his recovery.”
After inclement weather conditions allowed only 35 overs of play in hte first three days of the second Test against Bangladesh, India adopted a never-seen-before ultra-aggressive approach to snatch a seven-wicket victory in Kanpur, and eventually complete a 2-0 whitewash of their eastern neighbours.

With this achievement, Sharma becomes the country's 17th cricketer to reach the milestone.
After Rohit Sharma smashed his 11th Test century through a counter-attacking 131 against England on day one of the third Test at Rajkot, former wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel was left in awe of how the Indian captain was in control of himself while playing shots off the backfoot.
BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has announced that Rohit Sharma will captain India at the T20 World Cup 2024, with Hardik Pandya as his deputy.
The former South African stumper said it was “purely a cricketing decision” and the move was viewed as a transition phase for the five-time IPL champions, with all titles won under the leadership of Rohit.
In the absence of Rohit and Virat, India underwent a successful transition with the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh and Jitesh Sharma justifying their selection over the course of the 16 T20Is that India played after the last IPL season.
