Pink ball charm — darling of the masses, villain for willow wielders

Much like life itself, sport is all about innovation. Unlike life, it is also about making things more interesting, if not always better. Changing times demand adaptations, flexibility, the willingness to think out of the box and the courage to take a punt, even if it means displeasing the pundits and the connoisseurs, the traditionalists who frown upon modernism.International cricket has embarked on a journey of twirls, if not twists, since the early 1970s. Until then, the only format in which countries clashed with each other was in the longer version. Timeless Tests were in vogue until 1939 and the start of World War II. In fact, between 1877, when the first Test was played, and 1939, there were 99 timeless Tests, of which two ended in draws owing to visiting teams having to catch a shi...

‘Virat Kohli ki kamzori log pakad ke rakhe hue hai’: Mohammad Kaif urges India to target Travis Head as Australians target Kohli | Cricket News – Times of India

Travis Head and Virat Kohli (X Photo) Former Indian cricketer Mohammed Kaif observed that even a bowler like Scott Boland, who plays infrequently for Australia, understands Virat Kohli's weakness. Boland targets the area outside Kohli's off-stump, inducing edges to the slips."When Boland, someone who doesn't play consistently, knows how to exploit this, why can't we trap Travis Head? If his weakness is outside the off-stump, why don’t we consistently bowl there? Every batsman has weaknesses."Kaif questioned India's strategy against Travis Head, emphasising the need to exploit his vulnerability outside the off-stump. He believes that if Boland can exploit Kohli's weakness, India should be able to target Head's known frailty. He highlighted that every batsman has their own weaknesses."Virat ...
