India’s star batter Shubman Gill retained the top spot in the latest update of the ICC rankings for men’s ODI batters. In addition, Afghanistan’s rising all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai rose to the top of the all-rounder’s rankings after his phenomenal display at the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Star batter Virat Kohli once again displayed why he is rated so highly in white-ball cricket, more so in big-ticket tournaments, and as the master of run-chases, with his gritty half century helping India beat Australia by four wickets in the high-pressure semifinal of the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai on Tuesday.
Riding on Virat Kohli's 84, KL Rahul (42 not out) and Hardik Pandya (28 off 24 balls) gave the finishing touches to India's chase of 265 to progress to the final of the eight-team competition.
With the Indian top order of Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer firing on all cylinders heading into their semifinal clash against Australia on Tuesday, Aussie skipper Steve Smith hailed his opponent batters’ ability to change gears.
Kohli quit the captaincy a day after the Indian squad failed to clinch their first-ever Test series win in South Africa despite winning the opening match.
It will be interesting to see who becomes the next Test captain of India. The team's next Test assignment will be against Sri Lanka in a two-match series at home in February-March.
"Virat Kohli had a spasm on his upper back and he won't feature in the second Test against South Africa at The Wanderers. The BCCI medical team will be monitoring him during the course of this Test match"
Shastri also said that he would not have considered himself as a successful coach if he was not able to get the best out of Rohit Sharma as a Test opener.
As long as those in the portals of power are on top of things, a lapse here and a wordy duel there do not matter all that much. Sportsmen, who are not really fools, get on with it once the pain from the rap after the row has subsided.
