[ad_1] Virat Kohli will go among one of the greatest batters in the game’s history. Hence, not only is he constantly compared to his contemporaries with the likes of Steve Smith, Kane Williamson and Joe Root, but he is also compared with former legendary players like Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting. Recently, former Pakistan player Shoaib Akhtar tried to compare the challenges Sachin and Ponting used to face in ODI cricket, which the modern player hardly faces. “Back then, Sachin was playing with one ball, which would reverse swing against some of the best bowlers in the world. There was only one circle. Today, Sachin would have made a lot of runs,” the fast bowler was quoted saying when speaking to ANI. “Virat would have been competitive (in our era),” he added. “He could have faced ...

Indian pacers’ creativity will be tested in Cape Town: Allan Donald | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] CAPE TOWN: The Indian pace bowlers were not patient on a good bowling surface during the opening Test against South Africa, a virtue they will need in abundance on a batting paradise at Newlands, where spinners will have little role to play, reckoned legendary Allan Donald.India lost the first Test by an innings and 32 runs after conceding 408 in the first innings on a spicy Centurion track that offered steep bounce and enough lateral movement."I know South Africa probably got the better of the conditions, no questions about that. They pitched the ball in a 5 and 5.5 meter area and gave it a chance to do something off the deck.But what they did better than India…they were more patient in that area and even they used the short ball a little bit more in the second innings," Donald, ...

Brian Lara predicts Virat Kohli equaling Sachin Tendulkar’s 100 centuries tally as ‘very tough job’

[ad_1] Virat Kohli notched up his 80th international ton in front of his idol Sachin Tendulkar during India’s semifinal clash against New Zealand in the recently concluded 50-over World Cup. There is always an ongoing debate about whether the former will surpass the latter’s feat of 100 international tons. West Indian legend Brian Lara feels it is a very “tough job.” “How old is Kohli now? 35, right? He has 80 but still needs 20. If he scores five centuries every year he’d need four more years to equal Tendulkar. Kohli will be 39 then. Tough job, very tough job,” Lara told Anandabazar Patrika. “Can’t say with certainty, no one can. Those saying Kohli will break Tendulkar’s 100-centuries record won’t be taking cricketing logic into account. 20 centuries seem a long way away. Most crickete...

How Ibrahim Zadran turned Afghanistan from hit-or-get-out T20 side into formidable ODI batting unit

[ad_1] Pat Cummins believes he’s released the ball just fine. He charges in smoothly, in perfect rhythm and at a good speed. The ball, when it comes out of his hand, is even faster, touching the 140 kmph mark, short of length and around the off.The field on the off-side is packed and there’s seemingly no space for the batsman to hit. Certainly not Ibrahim Zadran, the calm accumulator of runs who swears by the textbook. But Zadran chooses to try something risky.
