5118

As of Tuesday, RCB and Indian cricket prodigy Virat Kohli has reached 200 million Instagram followers, making him the country's first Indian Instagram user to do so. One of cricket's most celebrated players, Kohli, has a reputation for breaking records both on and off the field. The fact that he has achieved this level of success shows how much he is loved throughout the world. Only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have more Instagram followers than Virat Kohli, the prolific Indian batsman. In fact, Kohli has the most Instagram following of any batsman.



Taking to Instagram, where he maintains a personal account, Kohli expressed his gratitude to his fans.



"200 million strong. Thank you very much, Instagram family, for your continued support!" Kohli said the following in the description of a film he made from a collection of his Instagram images.



After the T20 World Cup in 2021, Kohli will no longer lead India's Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) since the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) prefers to have a single captain for all short overs forms. He was also demoted to the role of vice-captain in one-day internationals.



Shortly after that, he resigned from his position as captain of India's test team.



After his predecessor was demoted, Rohit Sharma was promoted to the position of captain of the whole team.



Because of Kohli's recent lackluster play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, the Indian team has decided to bench him for the Twenty20 International series that will be played against South Africa shortly.

He will return to the field of play for the fifth test that was initially scheduled to take place between India and England during the previous year.



Because of Kohli's leadership, India had already established a 2-1 lead in the series when the fifth match of the series was postponed because of an outbreak of covid in the opposing team's camp. This caused the match to be postponed.<gwmw style="display:none;">

Trusted ??British daily newspaper company ?The Guardian? has reported that English cricketer Eoin Morgan who is currently the T20I and ODI captain of the English National Team is set to announce his retirement from International Cricket soon over his lack of form in both the formats.&nbsp;



Despite having a poor patch in the Indian Premier League for quite some time now, Eoin Morgan always performed at bigger stages when it came to the English National team. However, the skipper has been unable to do so in recent times and the 3-match ODI series between England and Netherlands that concluded just 5 days ago on 22nd June, was seemingly the final nail to his coffin.&nbsp;



Eoin Morgan led England in the first two matches of the series and departed for two consecutive ducks in both matches. He was ruled out of the third match due to a supposed ?groin injury? but netizens were surprised that despite that he was seen playing in a corporate match on the same day. Although Morgan skipped a number of charity matches for the next few days, the rumours had started spreading and now trusted sources claim that he might actually consider hanging up his gloves.&nbsp;



Before the commencement of the Netherlands series, Eoin Morgan had suggested that his growing age is having a dawning effect on his performance. ?If I don?t think I am good enough or I don?t feel I am contributing to the team, then I will finish,? he had said in an interview. Well the point was proven very well on the field.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/125660620_eoin_morgan_getty.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-91309" width="1042" height="600" /><figcaption>Throwback: Eoin Morgan became the first English captain to win a World Cup in 2019</figcaption></figure>



The England skipper needs to take his decision quickly as there is not much time left for the 2022 T20 World Cup and the sooner England gets a new captain, the better so that the next captain can build proper chemistry with the team which is immensely important to win big competitions like te T20 World Cup. It is being said that Jos Buttler is the forerunner to be made the next captain of England in T20I and ODI.&nbsp;



Irrespective of what Eoin Morgan decides to do, it must be mentioned that he is already an English Cricketing legend without an iota of doubt. He brought about a transformation in the England cricket team and it was he who finally realised the dreams of so many English fans to win the World Cup.?



<h2>Eoin Morgan International Career</h2>



Eoin Morgan switched his allegiance from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland_cricket_team">Ireland</a> to England in 2009 and he started his career in the English National Team as a dynamic left-handed batsman who could hit shots all around the field. He slowly transformed himself into a much more responsible batsman and that is what paved his way to captaincy. There is no doubt in the fact that Eoin Morgan will be remembered as the greatest English captain ever.?

England Captain Eoin Morgan set to retire from International cricket over lack of form

New Zealand opener Martin Guptill has once again climbed to the top spot in the list of batsmen with the most runs in T20Is. The right-handed batsman was 5 runs short of breaching Rohit Sharma's tally, who was at the top with 3487 runs. Guptill in the last game against west indies scored 15 runs and surpassed the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma by 10 runs.

</div><figcaption>ICC tweeted the new list. </figcaption></figure>



Martin Guptill is now at the top with 3497 runs in 121 T-20Is. He has two centuries in the format. He is followed by Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who has 3487 runs in 132 T20Is. His tally includes 4 centuries, most for any batsman in T20Is. Virat Kohli, who once held the top spot, has 3308 runs and acquires the third spot in the list. He is yet to score a century in T20Is.

Since the Asia Cup is near, then Rohit Sharma has time to go ahead of Guptill. For the past few months, up and down in the list of highest run scorers between Rohit and Guptill is going on continuously.



Kohli, who acquires the third spot, will make his T20I comeback in the Asia Cup, which is slated to start in the last week of August.

Martin Guptill Went Past Rohit Sharma To Become The Highest Run-Scorer in T20Is

It was India's perfect performance in both the bowling and batting parts in the opening ODI against Zimbabwe in Harare, as they bowled out the home team for just 189 and chased down the target in just 30 overs without losing a wicket - Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill batted together at the top, keeping their third century-plus stand in the last four ODIs they played together.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/shikhar-dhawan-was-the-first-t.webp" alt="shikhar dhawan hitting the ball" class="wp-image-93092"/><figcaption>Dhawan-Gill made 192 runs opening partnership to win the match by 10 wickets</figcaption></figure>



The Indian think tank will be pleased with Deepak Chahar's remarkable performance as he found swing and discipline in his very first game after returning from a back injury. Moreover, KL Rahul and other batters didn't get the opportunity to bat as the openers did the job without losing any wickets.



The Indian bowling showed a sharp edge. Deepak Chahar, Prasidh Krishna, and Mohammad Siraj shared 7 wickets between them. Axar Patel took the rest of the three. Kuldeep Yadav was economical and bowled to the right areas. The plans were executed on the mark.



Deepak Chahar after his excellent performance said "My plan is always simple. When the ball is swinging, try to bowl fuller length and take as many wickets as possible. When the ball is not swinging, then there is a Plan B or Plan C."



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/deepak-chahar.webp" alt="Deepak chahar" class="wp-image-93091"/><figcaption>Deepak Chahar helps India take an early lead</figcaption></figure>



Their rivals, Zimbabwe, came high in the series by winning both the T20I and ODI series. Although they won those series, there were still some concerns during their ODI series against Bangladesh, and one of them was the lack of runs from the top order.



The top 4 batters went back to the pavilion on single digits. Innocent Kaia scored 4 runs, T Marumani scored 8, Madhevere scored 5, and Sean Williams was out at 1 run. Now, this is a real issue of concern for Zimbabwe before the T20 world cup 2022. While bowling, they bowled as many as 21 wide balls.



"The Indian bowlers bowled really well, put the pressure on us and we lost our way after the first 4-5 overs. It was good to see Richi (Ngarava) and Brad give us that partnership at the end," said Regis Chakabva, Zimbabwe's captain.

PCB in a release on Saturday (20 August) stated that the Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi has been ruled out of the upcoming Asia Cup and the home series against England as he is recovering from a knee injury. A huge blow for Pakistan before Asia Cup. Afridi is with the Pakistan team in the Netherlands as part of his rehabilitation program, which is overseen by a trainer and physiotherapist and has been advised four to six weeks of rest following the latest scans and reports. In the meantime, he will remain with the squad working with the medical team.



Chief Medical Officer of PCB, Dr. Najeebullah Soomro said "I have spoken with Shaheen and he is understandably upset with the news, but he is a brave young man who has vowed to come back strongly to serve his country and team. Although he has made progress during his rehabilitation in Rotterdam, it is now clear he will require more time and is likely to return to competitive cricket in October."



Pakistan will begin their Asia Cup campaign against India on August 28, PCB will soon announce Afridi's replacement for the Asia Cup. The home series of seven T20Is against England will start on 20 September to 2 October.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Shaheen-Shah-Afridi.webp" alt="Shaheen Afridi celebrating wicket" class="wp-image-92848"/><figcaption>Afridi celebrating the dismissal of Kemar Roach</figcaption></figure>



"PCB's Sports &amp; Exercise Medicine Department will be working closely with the player over the coming weeks to ensure his safe return to competitive cricket," he added.



Afridi injured his right knee ligament while fielding during the first Test against Sri Lanka in July and has been out of action since then. According to the PCB, he is expected to return to action in the T20I tri-series in New Zealand, which also includes Bangladesh, which begins on October 7. Most probably he'll be available for the opening encounter of the T20 World Cup against India on 23 October 2022.

ENGLAND Tour of India 2025: After the conclusion of the iconic Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25, Team India is set to host England for a white-ball series. The first home assignment of 2025 for India will feature five T20Is and three ODIs. 
India’s cricketing fortunes took a tumble in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with a 3-1 series defeat to Australia. After four years of Indian dominance, the Aussies finally broke through, reclaiming the trophy in emphatic style.
A lackluster performance from India’s batting lineup, coupled with a struggling skipper Rohit Sharma, left much to be desired. Jasprit Bumrah stood tall as the lone warrior in the bowling department, but it wasn’t enough to turn the tide.
Now, as 2025 kicks off, India has a golden opportunity to turn things around. The upcoming home series against England in January couldn’t have come at a better time. With the ICC Champions Trophy also on the horizon later this year, it’s crucial for India’s star players to regain their form and confidence. This England tour isn’t just another bilateral series; it’s a stepping stone to redemption and preparation for the global stage.
Looking back at the history between these two sides in the white-ball format, India holds a slight edge. Out of 107 ODIs, India has emerged victorious 58 times, while England has won 44. In T20Is, the battle is even closer, with India winning 13 of the 24 matches and England taking 11. With such a competitive rivalry, fans can expect fireworks as India aims to make a strong statement ahead of the Champions Trophy.
For the 2025 series, England have announced the Squad for their India tour while India were waiting for the BGT to be over. Let's take a look at the ENGLAND tour of INDIA 2025 Schedule, Full Squads, TIming, Venues and All You Need To Know!

India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant is all set to go past MS Dhoni in the elite list of Indian players in Test cricket. The left-hander is just 6 sixes away from surpassing former keeper-batter in the most number of sixes for the national team in the history of the longest format of the game.
Rishabh Pant currently has 72 sixes in Test cricket in just 75 innings, which says a lot about his calibre as a player in the longest format of the game. MS Dhoni, on the other hand, has hit 78 sixes in the 144 innings that he has played for the team in the longest format of the game.
Virender Sehwag sits at the top of the list in the most number of sixes for the Indian team in Tests with 90 maximums in 178 innings. Current captain Rohit Sharma is second on the charts with 88 maximums to his name from 116 innings. 
<h2>Most sixes for India in Test Cricket: </h2>
Sehwag - 90 (178 innings)
Rohit - 88 (116 innings)
Dhoni - 78 (144 innings)
Pant - 72* (75 innings) 
Rishabh Pant has been one of the finest batters in world cricket. The keeper-batter proved his prowess in the ongoing game against Australia, which is the fifth game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The India batter has tilted the game for his team in the second innings. 
While every other bat struggled to get going, Rishabh Pant oozed his class with the bat and dominated the opposition. He played the attacking brand of cricket and put the Australian bowlers under pressure in what was a tough pitch to bat. 
<h2>India made a strong comeback on Day two of the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25</h2>
Coming to the match, India made a strong comeback on Day two of the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. They were right on the money with the bat and ball at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Saturday. 
Australia, who resumed at nine for one, didn't have a great start to day two as Marnus Labuschagne fell early. Sam Konstas (23) and Steve Smith (33) tried to bring Australia back with their innings but their partnership could last only 20 runs. 
India kept taking wickets at regular wickets, but debutant Beau Webster (57)  slammed a half-century, and a vital hand from Alex Carey (21:36b, 4x4) took Australia to 181, four runs behind India. 
India had a solid start to their second innings as  Yashasvi Jaiswal (22) and KL Rahul (13) added 42 runs for the opening stand. But after that, Australia made a strong comeback and picked wickets at regular intervals to reduce India to 78 for four. 
But it was Rishabh Pant (61) who slammed a half-century in a flash and took the game away as it allowed India to take the lead of over 120. At stumps on Day two, India was 141 for six with the lead of 145 runs and Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar at crease.

As the 5th Test between India and Australia unfolds, fans are watching an intense battle with high stakes. India, leading by 145 runs at the end of Day 2, has lost six wickets, leaving them in a tough spot. The outcome of the match could depend on whether India can stretch their lead further on Day 3. If they manage to add another 200 runs, they'll have a chance to secure victory, but it will require strong performances from their remaining batsmen.
Results of the IND vs AUS Test Series (Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25) Australia has taken the lead in this series with two wins out of the five matches played. On the other hand, India has managed to secure one victory, with one match ending in a draw, adding to the overall unpredictability of the series.
Potential for a Draw in this Test Series As the IND vs AUS series reaches its climax, the possibility of a draw remains a realistic outcome. With Australia leading 2-1 in the series, India is under immense pressure to win the final Test to level the series. Given the current match scenario, where India has a slender lead and has lost six wickets, achieving victory will be a challenging task.
Final Stand:
India leads by 145 runs at the end of Day 2 in the 5th Test against Australia, with Rishabh Pant's performance standing out. Despite the lead, Australia remains in a strong position as the match intensifies.

England's former captain Michael Vaughan believes that fierce-rivals India and Pakistan should play a Test-Match versu each other in Australia. He believes that if this happens, then Test Cricket will witness a great surge of growth and this match will also increase the excitement of the longest format of the game. 
However, Michael Vaughan admits that this is not easy due to political reasons between India and Pakistan, but this option can be considered. Apart from this, if the ICC gets involved in this matter, then there are chances of things working out.
<h2>"I want Pakistan and India to play a Test-Match versus each other on Australian Soil"</h2>
In an interview with the Times of India (TOI), Vaughan said, "I wish that both rivals Pakistan and India play Test-Matches versus each other on Australian soil. Both teams do square off against each other in the Asia Cup and the ICC Tournaments, but both of them haven't faced each other in red ball Cricket since a really long time. I want both of them face each other in the longest format of the game, but the only problem is that they cannot face each other in their home conditions. 
Therefore, as a solution to the problem, they can play Test Cricket versus each other in Australia or England. If this happens, it will be one of the biggest moments of the game and they will surely receive support in huge numbers."
"Pakistan &amp; India playing Test-Matches versus each other is going to prove to be absolutely phenomenal for the longest format of the game. Although, I am aware about the amount of politics involved in this matter, I believe both the teams can consider playing Tests at the Adelaide Oval, Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) or the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG)," Vaughan added. 
It's worth noting that the Indian and Pakistani teams have not faced each other in the Test format for almost 18 years. The last Test series between the two teams was played in 2007-08, but since then the two teams have not faced each other in Tests.
