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 earlier this month has stated that though he is keeping himself physically fit, his main focus has been working on the mental aspect of the game.
Akhtar suggested that the number of bouncers per over should be increased as there are two new balls and only four fielders outside the circle for a major part of an ODI game.
Harsha Bhogle also spoke about how Test cricket could be survived in the age of T20 cricket and recognised a special importance of Virat Kohli.
Harsha Bhogle also said that even though the demography has changed a lot, the tendency to resect the seniors still prevailed in the Indian dressing rooms.
Akhtar believes he and Kohli would have been good friends off the field and bitter-rivals while playing against each other.
