BCCI in trouble, ICC 2023 ODI World Cup could move out of India: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) looks in deep trouble as there is a good possibility of it losing the hosting rights of the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2023. Recently, Ramiz Raja, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chair, has raised a query about whether the ICC is confident enough to host the next 50-over World Cup in India.



All this happened due to the underlying situation between India and Pakistan in the recent past. While it all began with Jay Shah, BCCI secretary, saying that the Indian side will not travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023. In response to this, Ramiz Raja threatened to boycott the next 50-over World Cup in India if India doesn?t visit Pakistan for the Asia Cup.



The PCB head has also blamed the International Cricket Council (ICC) for not intervening in the matter and doing sufficient to bring both teams on the same page. He also accused the governing body for not ensuring smooth cricketing ties between India and Pakistan.



Further, in the latest development, Ramiz Raja has asked whether the ICC is certain to host the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 in India owing to tax-related issues.&nbsp;



Notably, when a country hosts a World Cup event, it has to provide ICC with tax exemptions from the ruling government. The last time when India hosted an ICC World Cup in 2016, ICC received an interim tax benefit to hold a 10.3% surcharge from India?s revenue share - for which the Indian cricket board is fighting a legal battle.



For the upcoming World Cup, which is supposed to be held in India, the ICC has again received an interim tax benefit, however, the BCCI isn?t too pleased with it.

It?s important to note that, the Indian government didn?t give a tax benefit to ICC during the World Cup 2016. As a result, ICC deducted roughly INR 190 Crores from BCCI?s annual revenue share. If BCCI once again fails to solve the tax issue for the 2023 World Cup, it may end up losing a whopping sum of INR 900 Crores as the tax bill has been raised to 21.84%.



?It?s BCCI?s money. If the ICC can?t settle this issue before the World Cup arrives and end up deducting it from India?s revenue share from the ICC, even this will end up in a legal battle,? say those tracking developments.



The ICC has asked to solve the issue with the Indian government as soon as possible. If BCCI fails to do that, ICC will be left with a single choice of moving the 50-over World Cup out of India.



As per the ICC rules, the hosting nation has to provide tax exemptions from the ruling government for the World Cup.

The BCCI has also given a provision for the selection of players via domestic performances. This will allow all the national players a fair chance. Domestic giants such as Rajat Patidar, Rahul Tripathi, Umran Malik, and Shahbaz Ahmed can still try to get a slot in the top 15 for the ICC World Cup 2023. The Indian team will be keenly looking for a good spin combination as the World Cup will be played in India, where tracks are very spin friendly.

World Cup 2023: Indian Cricket Team Shortlists 20 Players. A look at the Players Who May Have Made the Cut. &nbsp;

world-cup-2023-indian-cricket-team-shortlists-20-players-a-look-at-the-players-who-may-have-made-the-cut

The ODI World Cup 2023 is rapidly approaching. It will be held post-monsoon, and it is one of the most-awaited events for Indian cricket. The Indian cricket team is looking to settle down and make a good combination. The team has many options for many positions. But when it comes to the opener's position, there are a few big names in the race. Shubman Gill just scored a 200, as did Ishan Kishan. Shikhar Dhawan is Mr. ICC, KL Rahul is multifaceted, and Rohit Sharma is the skipper. So, who will be picked? Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;



<h2>Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian cricket team in ODI World Cup 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



Rohit Sharma is almost certain to make it to the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 if he remains fit. He will lead the Indian cricket team. Also, we have seen him in full bloom in the ODI World Cup 2019. He was the highest run-getter with 5 hundred in the tournament. He brings out his best when it matters the most. Sharma is having a tough time for the past 6 months. He has got the starts but has failed to convert them. The reason for us to expect this legend is the pedestal that he has set for himself. He will have a good ODI World Cup 2023.



<h2>Shubman Gill might be picked for ODI World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/352811-1.jpg" alt="IND vs NZ: Shubman Gill struck 200, becomes the fastest Indian to reach 1000 ODI runs, 2nd fastest in the World | 208 for Shubman Gill" class="wp-image-101252" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shubman Gill celebrating his 200 (Twitter)</figcaption></figure>



Shubman Gill is in pole position for being India?s opener at the ODI World Cup 2023 which will be held in India. He is having a time of his life at the crease. He is playing exceptionally well. Gill has neutralized not only the pacers but also the spinners. His short-arm jab is one of the marquee shots. Gill?s timing and placement are great as well. He is the future of the Indian team and selecting him would be a smart move by the BCCI. He also holds the record for being the fastest batter to 1000 ODI runs. This improves his portfolio. His 208 against New Zealand is the star point in his resume.&nbsp;He can be India's trump card in the ODI World Cup 2023.



<h2>Ishan Kishan might be picked for ODI World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Ishan-Kishan-min.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli Replacement" class="wp-image-100575" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The BCCI is promoting youngsters like Kishan. IMG SRC: BCCI.</figcaption></figure>



From one young man to another, Ishan Kishan also has a 200 to his name. Indian cricket is very fortunate to have both of these young guns. They are true assets for the future. His ODI average in the limited number of games that he has played is 53.00 and his strike rate is 112. When Kishan bats, quick runs are bound to come. If the Indian cricket team is looking to adopt the ?bazzball? strategy, picking Ishan Kishan would be a great choice. Being left-handed gives him an added advantage as the team always prefers a left-hand and right-hand combination at the top.&nbsp;



<h2>Shikhar Dhawan:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/01/Shikhar-Dhawan.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-101284" width="840" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Presenting Mr. ICC, Shikhar Dhawan. IMG SRC: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



An ICC tournament without Mr. ICC doesn?t look good! Shikhar Dhawan has been India?s first-choice opener in all the 50-Over ICC tournaments since 2013. That is the level of dominance that this man has asserted in that position. Be it the worst of situations in his career, Shikhar Dhawan is always smiling. His bright smile keeps the dressing room environment very healthy. He is a true sport and an asset to the team on the field as well. The age might not be on his side, but the skill surely is. Just one bad series and he got dropped. It was very unfair to him. His strengths as each of us know are to play the balls outside off and hit them square of the wicket. &nbsp;



<h2>KL Rahul can be the backup opener:&nbsp;</h2>



KL Rahul has always been in the scheme of things of the Indian cricket team. He has been asked to bat as an opener in the 2019 ODI World Cup previously. And he delivered with sheer class that time. Rahul has been the best batter in the IPL for the past 5 years. Season after season after season he has scored runs. And his best performances have come while he was an opener. Currently, he is fitting very well in the number 5 position and as the first-choice wicket-keeper but if required he can open the innings as well. &nbsp;

ODI World Cup 2023: Shubman Gill Scores 200, What Does this Mean for the Indian Cricket Team? Top 5 Openers for the World Cup 2023.&nbsp;

odi-world-cup-2023-shubman-gill-scores-200-what-does-this-mean-for-the-indian-cricket-team-top-5-openers-for-the-world-cup-2023

The past three years haven't been considerate for 50-over cricket fans. With a number of T20I competitions going on around the world, which include the T20 World Cups and the T20 leagues, it seemed that the ODIs had lost their charm. While it's true that the One Day Internationals (ODIs) saw a significant drop in popularity, they're back on track as the ICC World Cup 2023 approaches. This article will take you through the ICC World Cup 2023 schedule, team, timetable, squad, venue, matches, points table, and all the other details.



The 2023 ICC World Cup will be the 13th edition of the marquee 50-over tournament organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Although England is the reigning champions and will defend their crown of ODI champions, Australia has been a dominating force in the ODI World Cups with five titles in their dressing room.



England won the last edition of the ICC World Cup, which was held in England in 2019, by defeating New Zealand in a controversial super-over after the match was tied. Interestingly, England and New Zealand also matched their super-over scores, and eventually, on the basis of the overall boundary count, the former team was declared the winner. England had scored 26 boundaries while New Zealand had scored 17.



Let's take a deep dive at the ICC World Cup 2023 schedule, team, timetable, squads, venue, matches, points table, and much more.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: India vs Australia three-match ODI series is slated to begin on March 17 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The two sides will then head to Vishakhapatnam and Chennai for the other two ODI games. Although the IND vs AUS ODI series won't add any value to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table, it would help the two participating sides gear up for the marquee event which will be held later this year.



England topped the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table after bashing Bangladesh in the second ODI in Dhaka. After being asked to bat first, England batters racked up 326 runs in 50 overs, thanks to Jason Roy's fine century and valiant contributions from skipper Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali and Sam Curran.



In pursuit of 326 runs total, Bangladesh was rocked earlier on in their innings by pacer Sam Curran who scalped three wickets in his first spell. Later on in the game, Adil Rashid joined Curran's way to dismiss the Bangladeshi middle and lower order. Eventually, owing to Curran and Rashid's four wickets each, England were able to bundle out Bangladesh at 194 runs and won the contest by 132 runs.



The win in the second ODI also ensured the series win for England, after having won the opening game as well by three wickets. England will now look to clean-sweep Bangladesh on their soil to wrap up the three-match ODI series.



England was rewarded with 20 points owing to the two victories against Bangladesh and now has 155 rating points in 23 games so far. They are placed atop the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table and are followed by New Zealand with 150 rating points from 21 games.



The third place in the ranking is taken up by India with 139 points from 21 matches. Meanwhile, Pakistan, Australia and Bangladesh sit in 4th, 5th and 6th place respectively.



Interestingly, seven teams have already qualified for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 owing to their good ranking in the points table, which include - England, New Zealand, India (host), Pakistan, Australia, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.



It's important to note that the top eight teams of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table will get direct entry to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. While seven teams are already confirmed, one team from West Indies, South Africa or Sri Lanka will get direct entry.



The remaining teams will have to take part in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifiers along with the five associate nations. The two top teams of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifiers will get to feature in the World Cup 2023, which will be held in India in October.



Down below are the complete details of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table [Updated] before IND vs AUS ODI series 2023.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table [Updated] before IND vs AUS ODI series 2023

icc-cricket-world-cup-2023-super-league-points-table-updated-before-ind-vs-aus-odi-series-2023

ICC ODI World Cup 2023 - Pakistan won't travel to India, wants its games to be held in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has expressed its desire to not travel to India and play its ICC ODI World Cup 2023 matches in either Sri Lanka or Bangladesh, if team India doesn't visit Pakistan for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023. The ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is scheduled to be held in India, later this year.



Some media reports quoted, Wasim Khan, ICC GM and ex-CEO of PCB, as saying that Pakistan's ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 matches will be held in a neutral venue.



Notably, the development came after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) held a meeting to adopt a hybrid model to host the Asia Cup 2023, which is originally slated to be held in Pakistan. The hybrid model allows Pakistan to host the Asia Cup 2023 on its own soil in the first part of September, but India's matches will be held in a neutral venue. 



Interestingly, if India and Pakistan, both reach the final, the summit clash of the Asia Cup 2023 would be held outside Pakistan, in a neutral venue.



Further reports say that the PCB will adopt the same model for the upcoming marquee ICC event which will be held in October-November in India.



"Yes, we are thinking that we will not travel to India for World Cup matches if BCCI didn't send their team to Pakistan for Asia Cup. We want Sri Lanka or Bangladesh to host our matches, we want to play there not in India," said a PCB source to ANI.



However, ICC has distanced itself from such claims. The ICC official said that the preparations for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 are undergoing full swing in India.



?As far as we are concerned, everything is full speed for a full event in India later this year," an ICC official said.



While India's apex cricket body is ready to negotiate Asia Cup 2023 to be held in Pakistan and just India matches to move out, it is not in any mood to move an inch for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.



Notably, this will be the first instance when India has received full authority to host a complete ICC ODI World Cup. The 2011 World Cup was hosted jointly by India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.



This year's World Cup will be held in a similar fashion as it was held in England back in 2019. All 10 teams played against each other once before the knockouts, which means nine games per team during the group stage.



The complete schedule for ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is yet to be revealed by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It is expected to be out in a couple of weeks from here.

After the enthralling Test series, New Zealand and Sri Lanka locked horns in the three-match ODI series. The tour turned out to be disappointing and heartbreaking for the Island nation as they suffered a whitewash in both the series as they were eliminated from the race of two major ICC events in the World Test Championship Final and Cricket World Cup 2023.?



The Sri Lanka batting line was up was left in shatters during the ODI series as they displayed a shocking display. In the first game, they bundled out New Zealand for just 274 runs and it was expected that they would win the game. But in a shocking turn of events, they were rattled for just 76 runs and lost the game by massive 198 tuns.?

The second game was washed out due to the rain and it was expected that Sri Lanka would put in a better performance. But they yet again falter with the bat, which saw them suffering another defeat. Opting to bat first, they lost the first 5 wickets for just 70 runs. Pathum Nissanka held the fort for his team with the gritty half-century but he was run out for 57 runs.?

Skipper Dasun Shanaka and Chamika Karunaratne made handed contributions of 31 and 24 respectively as Sri Lanka posted just 157 runs on the board. Matt Henry, Henry Shipley and Daryl Mitchell picked three wickets each as they made a mockery of the visitors' batting lineup.&nbsp;



With the ball, Sri Lanka kept things tight and took 4 quick wickets. But Will Young played a staggering knock of unbeaten 86 runs and was well supported by Henry Nicholls, who scored unbeaten 44 runs as New Zealand completed a comfortable 6-wicket win to hand Sri Lanka a 2-0 series loss.&nbsp;

ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table: South Africa upset Netherlands in the final test of a three-match ODI series shutting down all the hopes of Netherlands to automatic qualification to the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. This win has, however, put South Africa in the top-8 of the ICC ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table.



This ODI series of SA vs NED was started back in November 2021 when the first match was washed out by rain and ended with no result. Classy 95* from Kyle Verreynne set the tone for the proteas and South Africa set a respectable total of 277/8. The second innings was washed out by rain and the match was called off.



Due to the risk of the CoVid-19 new variant rapidly spreading over that part of the globe, both boards decided to indefinitely postpone the series. The series was now reconsidered in 2023 where the remaining two matches were scheduled for 31st March and 2nd April.



<a href="https://twitter.com/ProteasMenCSA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">South Africa</a> beat Netherlands in both ODIs and succeeded to reach the 8th position of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Super League Points table. SA secured the second ODI by 8 wickets and sealed the series by winning the third ODI by 146 runs.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/SA-vs-NED-1.jpg" alt="ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table [Updated] After SA vs NED ODI series." class="wp-image-107836" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">SA vs NED: Proteas clinched the series 2-0</figcaption></figure>



SA is now in the eighth spot with 98 points and they are very close to directly qualifying for ICC ODI World Cup 2023.

Ireland has an opportunity to climb up to the eighth spot in a series they play against Bangladesh in May. Ireland is currently in the 11th spot with 68 points.

The reports suggest that the Pakistan Cricket Board has chosen the venues themselves as they felt that it will be the two safest venues to play.?



"A lot will depend on what BCCI and the Indian government decide but given a choice, Pakistan will like to play most of its World Cup matches in Kolkata and Chennai.

The 5th &amp; Final Test-Match in Sydney between Fierce-Rivals Australia and India ended today and the home team secured an easy six-wicket win and this win allowed them to secure the series by 3-1.This win of the Aussies has also made some significant changes in the overall standings of the 2023-25 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. 
Talking about the contest, the Jasprit Bumrah-led team were at 124-4 in their 2nd inning and they were looking set to set a big target for the Pat Cummins-led team. However, the Australian bowlers were in deadly mood as their perfect bowling display led to Team India suffering a batting collapse and they lost wickets in quick succession and eventually got bundled out for a mere score of 157 runs. 
Wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant fought the lone warrior's battle as he played an impressive inning of 61 runs in just 33 deliveries but he didn't get any kind of support from his fellow batters at the other end and the Kangaroos took full advantage of this and eventually the game turned in the favour of the Defending Champions. 
For the Australian team, Scott Boland took 6 wickets while giving away 45 runs while skipper Pat Cummins also played a good hand with figures of 3-44 next to his name. 
The Aussies were given a target of 162 runs to win the Sydney Test-Match but they lost wickets unnecessarily as Sam Konstas (22 runs in 17 deliveries), Marnus Labuschagne (6 runs in 20 deliveries), and Steve Smith (4 runs in 9 balls) went back to the pavilion cheaply, leaving the Australian team suddenly in a dire position of 58/3.
Next, opening batter Usman Khawaja played a good knock of 41 runs in 45 deliveries which allowed his team to initiate a comeback in the contest. If Bumrah wouldn't have got injured, then Khawaja wouldn't even get the chance to go past the 10 runs mark. 
Without the availability of Bumrah, the Aussie batters started to play their shots freely and theu began creating a lot of pressure on the Indian bowling unit. While Prasidh Krishna did his best to help his team stay alive in the contest, he began to falter and this worked in the favour of the Australians. 
As a result, the duo of Beau Webster &amp; Travis Head got involved in a strong partnership for thethe fifth wicket and added 58 runs in just 53 balls and this turned out to be winning factor. They helped their team reach a score of 162-4 and the Kangaroos won the encounter by a margin of six wickets.
<h2>WTC Final Chance:</h2>
Pat Cummins-led Aussies have successfully qualified for the 2023-25 World Test Championship (WTC) Final after securing the BGT series 3-1. Temba Bavuma-led South Africa have already secured their tickets for the Final after defeating Pakistan in the first Test-Match. 
Keeping the statistics in mind, Team India have failed to qualify for the WTC Final for the first time since 2021. They are ranked third in the overall Standings with a PCT of 50. South Africa are the table toppers with a PCT of 66.67 while the Kangaroos are ranked 2nd with 63.73 PCT next to their name. They are followed by the likes of New Zealand (48.21) and Sri Lanka (45.45) respectively.

Can Team India still qualify for the WTC Final after suffering an embarrassing defeat in the Sydney Test-Match Or have they been eliminated completely?

Day 3 of the fifth and final test between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground ended India's one-and-a-half-month-long tour of Australia. With that, Australia also ended their long wait to clinch the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and won it with a margin of 3-1.
Apart from the first test, Australia dominated India throughout the series, including the third day at SCG. As a result, the Australian crowd was also animated and tried to put pressure on Team India. But Virat Kohli, who is known for his passionate persona, came up with his own way to answer.
<h2>IND vs AUS: Virat Kohli mocks Australian crowd with "Sandpapar" gesture on Day 3</h2>
The Australian crowd has a history of involvement with visiting teams time and time again, and this BGT 2024-25 was not new. There were many instances during the series when they targeted Indian players. Especially when it comes to Virat Kohli, the Australian crowd often welcomes him or reacts to his actions with boos. But Virat has always been the approach of giving it back.
Something similar happened on Sunday as well. Notably, Virat was the stand-in captain in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. Responding to Australian crowds, Virat gestures with his "empty pocket." This incident happened just when Steve Smith got out on Day 3. Smith was part of the infamous "Sandpapergate" incident during a Cape Town test against South Africa in 2018.
Australia used sandpaper in order to tamper with the cricket ball to get more reverse swing from the ball. Unfortunately for them, it was caught on camera, and players involved in it, Smith, along with David Warner and Cameron Bancroft, faced bans. As a result, Virat was seen doing the "sandpapar" gesture after Smith's wickets to provoke the Australian fans.
As soon as it happened, the video of the incident went viral, and everyone was talking about it on social media. Speaking of the game, India started Day 3 at 142/6 and were bowled out for 157 runs, setting a target of 161 to win. Australia reached the target with six wickets in hand and registered the 3-1 series win. It was their first BGT win since 2014-15. With this, they also qualified for the final of the World Test Championship 2023-25.

The Australian Cricket Team, under the leadership of Pat Cummins successfully defeated Team India in the Sydney Test-Match by a margin of six wickets and this wicket helped them to seal the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series by 3-1.
While the Aussie players are going to be really happy with this series win, the Indians on the other hand, are facing a lot of criticism following the series defeat especially the Indian batters. Senior players like Virat Kohli are the main targets of the critics. 
In the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, Kohli got dismissed on the outside off-stump line eight times and versus the Aussie bowlers, the former Indian skipper looked helpless &amp; cluseless versus the them. Now, AB De Villiers, the South African legend has made a huge revelation regarding how the former Indian and RCB skipper can tackle the outside off-stump deliveries.
<h2>'Every Batsman in the world struggles with some weakness'</h2>
AB De Villiers said, "He (Virat) can definitely find a solution to the the outside off-stump deliveries. Every batsman out there has a weakness and if I talk about myself, then the deliveries which used to come towards the pads in a straight line used to trouble me a lot. But I learnt from it and scored a lot of runs in the remainder of my career. 
I still remember the Test-Series versus England (ENG). The series kicked off on a positive note and I scored good amount of runs in the Durban Test-Match and everything was going smoothly. But, then the duo of Stuart Broad and James Anderson started dismissing me on a successive note and especially, with the new ball, I got out constantly".
<h2>What's the solution to the problem of Virat Kohli? </h2>
AB de Villiers believes that old balls keep running in the mind of the 36-year-old, which automatically affects the next forthcoming delivery. What happened before on the previous ball doesn't matter... He (Virat) should play every ball like a new and fresh one, he should just forget thinking about the previous deliveries. If finds success in doing this properly, then he can play the outside off-stump deliveries in a much better way.

India batter Virat Kohli has been at the receiving end of heavy criticism after his failures in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The batter looked torrid with the bat in the majority of the series and there have been calls related to his retirement as well. 
Virat Kohli, who hit a century in the first Test, looked absolutely torrid with the bat in the rest of the games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The premier batter was troubled by the balls outside off stump as it brought his downfall in almost every match of the five-match Test series. 
When Virat Kohli hit a century in Perth, it was expected that he would have a breakthrough series and would be setting the stage on fire. But that wasn't the case, as, after the ton in the opening match, he failed in the entire series and ended up getting just around 90 runs in the rest of the games. 
Since 2020, Virat Kohli has looked extremely torrid with the bat and has been averaging just in the 20s. This has seen him getting a lot of criticism for his poor outings. Many fans and experts have lashed out at him for his poor performances and hence they want him to make way for youngster. 
One of the heavy criticism came from Irfan Pathan, who pointed out the batter's poor average, saying that Virat Kohli averaged just 15 in the first innings of the Test. He said that the players with these low averages don't deserve a place in the Indian Team. 
<h2>He has made a lot of runs, but in 2024, batting in the first innings where you set up the match, Kohli averages just 15 - Irfan Pathan</h2>
Irfan Pathan added that it's time for Virat Kohli to make way for youngsters and that even young players will maintain a batting average of 25-30. Speaking to Star Sports, he explained: 
"He has made a lot of runs, but in 2024, batting in the first innings where you set up the match, Kohli averages just 15. If we take out his stats for the last five years, he barely averages 30. Does the Indian team deserve that from its senior player? It's better to give a youngster a long run, tell him to get ready; even that guy will maintain a batting average of 25-30." 
India's next Test series will be against England. It remains to be seen if he will be part of the series or not.
