Rishabh Pant's duck after being promoted to third place in the recent T20 match against the West Indies has caused furore in social media and memeseters are having a field day
 

In the Vijay Hazare Trophy semi-finals played on Wednesday (October 23), hosts Karnataka defeated Chhattisgarh by nine wickets at Chinnaswamy Stadium while Tamil Nadu edged Gujarat by five wickets

India discard Dinesh Karthik tendered an 'unconditional apology' for violating BCCI's central contract clause by watching a Caribbean Premier League (CPL) game from the Shah Rukh Khan co-owned Trinbago Knight Riders' dressing room

Dinesh Karthik, in his reply, has informed through a four-point submission that he went to Port of Spain on coach Brendon McCullum's request and watched the match wearing the TKR jersey on the New Zealander's request

Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik were sent ahead of MS Dhoni after India were reduced to 5/3 and then 24/4 in their World Cup 2019 semi-final against New Zealand

The chase was always going to be a cakewalk for the home team with the dew coming on. Mumbai chased down the total quickly and in the 17th over KKR never looked like the favourites to win the game.

Backed by Chris Lynn's 46 off 22 balls and a cameo from Dinesh Karthik (21* off 9 balls), Kolkata Knight Riders ensured that their chances of securing the fourth and final playoff spot remained alive

Kolkata Knight Riders need to win every game coming their way, and that too by a decent margin if they are eyeing for a spot in the playoffs this season. They lost to Rajasthan Royals by three wickets on Thursday at the Eden Gardens

The selectors led by MSK Prasad have picked young Vijay Shankar in the squad and ignored the experienced Ambati Rayudu, who, not long, was batting at no 4 for India and many, including Indian captain Virat Kohli, had said that he is going to be India’s ‘no 4’ in the World Cup.

Virat Kohli scored his 5th IPL hundred and became the first captain ever to score 5 centuries in the Indian Premier League. Chris Gayle is the only other player who has scored six centuries in the IPL.

The reserve wicket-keeper slot has gone to Dinesh Karthik, and this has triggered a big debate on social media. Rishabh Pant is one of the most exciting young cricketers in the world and he has earned the love and respect of Indian cricket fans in a short period of time.

Both KL Rahul and Vijay Shankar got the nod in the team for the quadrennial show-piece event. There were no big surprises in the team announced by the Indian selection committee led by MSK Prasad.
 

KKR sorely felt the absence of a power hitter down the order who can turn matches on its head. It looks like Russell 2.0 is more menacing, hungrier and more devastating.

Andre Russell, who hit a sensational 19-ball 49 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in KKR's previous match, bludgeoned his way to a 17-ball 48 to propel the home side to a massive 218/4 after being sent into bat in their IPL 2019 match. He later took two wickets for 21 runs to help KKR restrict KXIP to 190/4

One of the main ingredients for doing well in a tournament like the World Cup is to have the right squad balance and the think tank will have its task cut out to come up with the best team combination, especially in the wake of the home series defeat to world champions Australia
