Watch: Virat Kohli's Funny Celebration After Taking A Brilliant Catch to Dismiss Alex Carey In Rajkot ODI

Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli is in a joyful mood in the third ODI against Australia in Rajkot. He was rested for the first two games and is back for the third ODI.

Kohli, who had a good outing in the Asia Cup, was one of the senior players to rest for the first two games. Rohit Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, and Hardik Pandya also rested for the first two games. Pandya eventually did not play the final ODI as well.

In the sapping heat of Rajkot, Kohli seemed tireless as he covered the grounds on the field. In the 37th over of the Australian innings, he took a simple catch to dismiss Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey. Carey was the first of Jasprit Bumrah’s wickets on the day. He was dismissed in the 37th over of the Australian innings. He then dismissed Glenn Maxwell with a searing yorker in the 39th over. He came back to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne (72 off 58) in the final over off his spell.

Bumrah, the lead Indian pacer gave away 30 runs and picked up three wickets in his last five overs. Meanwhile, Kohli with his celebration hogged the limelight as he took a simple catch. Bumrah on the other hand, went for 51 in his first five overs.

Virat Kohli Likely To Open In 3rd ODI Along With Rohit Sharma

With Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan not a part of the playing XI, Kohli is likely to open the innings with Rohit Sharma. He has played seven games as an opener and in that he has scored just 166 runs at an average of below 24.

Meanwhile, Australia after their 50 overs finished with 352/7 with contributions from Mitchell Marsh (96), David Warner (56), Steve Smith (74), and Marnus Labuschagne (72). India now need 353 to win and clean-sweep the Aussies heading into the World Cup.

Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka scripted history as he scored his maiden ODI double ton in the first ODI against Afghanistan in Pallekele. The Lankans scored a mammoth 381/3 in 50 overs. He became the first Sri Lankan batsman to score a double century in ODI cricket. He surpassed Sanath Jayasuriya’s career-best ODI score of 189 to achieve this rare feat. He got to the landmark hitting a boundary four of Afghan pacer Fareed Malik. Nissanka finished with 210 off 139 deliveries as he hit 20 fours and 8 sixes in his innings at a strike rate of 151.07. He first added 182 runs for the first wicket with Avishka Fernando (88). Kusal Mendis the captain scored 16, Charith Asalanka an unbeaten 7 as Nissaka added another crucial stand of 120 runs with Sadeera. Every Afghanistan bowler was expensive in this match. Fareed Malik and Mohammad Nabi were the only two bowlers to pick up wickets. Every bowler barring Nabi conceded runs at an excess of seven runs per over. Malik went for 79 runs off h...

“It’s MS Dhoni show” – CSK fans happy despite defeat to DC as India legend shines with excellent cameo

Image
In the 13th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) , the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) took on the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 31. Delhi Capitals won the toss and surprisingly elected to bat first in the match. They made two changes to their playing XI as Kuldeep Yadav, who had a niggle, and Ricky Bhui were replaced by Prithvi Shaw and Ishant Sharma. Chennai Super Kings, unsurprisingly, fielded an unchanged playing XI. Playing in his first match in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Prithvi Shaw set the stage on fire and gave a message to the DC team management. He played his natural attacking brand of cricket and was involved in a terrific partnership of 93 runs with veteran opening batsman David Warner. Shaw smashed 43 runs off 27 balls during his stay in the middle and David Warner slammed 52 runs off 25 balls. The DC openers wer...

The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai hosted the 14th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) between the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday, April 1. Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the toss and as expected elected to bowl first in the match. They made one notable change to their bowling unit as Sandeep Sharma, who was unfit, made the way for Nandre Burger in the playing XI. The decision to have a go with the ball turned out to be excellent for the visiting team as the star left-arm pacer Trent Boult made the Mumbai batters dance to his tunes. Trent Boult dismissed Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir for golden ducks on the 5th and 6th ball of the first over of the innings. MI were forced to bring in Dewald Brevis ahead of the second over as an impact player. Nandre Burger came to bowl the second over and he bowled some brilliant lines and lengths but wasn’t able to pick any wickets. Then, Trent Boult came again and dismissed Brevis ...
