    Former captain, head coach and legendary leg-spinner of the Indian cricket team, Anil Kumble recently found out about pacer Jasprit Bumrah’s talents as a spinner and based on his reaction, it is safe to say that he is left impressed.
    Over the weekend, the Board on Control for Cricket in India or the BCCI shared a video of Bumrah imitating Kumble’s bowling action in the nets via their official Twitter handle.
    We have all seen @Jaspritbumrah93's fiery yorkers and sharp bouncers. Here’s presenting a never-seen-before version of the fast bowler.

    “We have all seen @Jaspritbumrah93's fiery yorkers and sharp bouncers. Here’s presenting a never-seen-before version of the fast bowler. Boom tries to emulate the legendary @anilkumble1074's bowling action and pretty much nails it,” BCCI tweeted.
    The followers of the Indian cricket board were left speechless as the 27-year old’s spin did look legitimately good. The video soon became a hit online and managed to find its way to Kumble himself.
    The 50-year old was indeed stumped with what he saw and appreciated Bumrah’s work on the ground.
    Well done Boom. Pretty close 🏽. You are an inspiration to the next generation of young fast bowlers who are imitating your style. Best wishes for the upcoming series.

    “Well done Boom. Pretty close. You are an inspiration to the next generation of young fast bowlers who are imitating your style. Best wishes for the upcoming series,” Kumble responded to the video.
    Calling Bumrah an inspiration for the future generations himself, Kumble praised the Gujarat-born’s startling rise to success over the past couple of years. He has not only become the leader of India’s pace-bowling attack but has earned the reputation as one of the deadliest yorker-specialists and death-overs experts in the entire world.

    In Test cricket, the unorthodox pacer has played in 17 Test matches ever since making his debut in 2018 against South Africa. During those 17 games, Bumrah has scalped 79 wickets including his career best 6/27 in the second Test against the West Indies at Kingston in September 2019.
    It is interesting to note that the lethal bowler has not made his Test debut on Indian soil as yet and must yearn to play the highest level of cricket at home.
    Breaking - India not to risk Jasprit Bumrah in Brisbane. They fear Abdomen injury could worsen, scans done, reports awaited. Mayank hurt at training. Scans done. Unless there is fracture he was to replace Hanuma. Scan results awaited. @SportsTodayofc at 10am for further details.

    The upcoming series against the powerful England cricket team will provide him with the opportunity to check that box as well, provided he is healthy and has recovered from the abdomen injury he had sustained ahead of the fourth and final match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Brisbane Cricket Ground.

    After a remarkable victory in Australia, the confident Indian cricket team is looking forward to hosting yet another strong contender in England at home for a four-match Test series starting from February 5, 2021.
    When the bruised and battered Men in Blue lifted the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Brisbane Cricket Ground after breaking Australia’s famous 30-year old undefeated streak at The Gabba, the world acknowledged the team’s character and the unbelievable depth of the talent pool with which they are blessed.

    Now with many of the bigger names who had to leave the team’s side due to injuries or other personal reasons during the Australian red-ball tour are once again back to unite forces and according to former Aussie skipper Ian Chappel, make India practically ‘bulletproof’ and ‘unbeatable’.
    "India will start as favourites after an exhilarating victory over Australia, overcoming all obstacles. When you add the name Virat Kohli to the batting order, the team suddenly assumes a bulletproof cloak," Chappell wrote in his column for ESPNcricinfo.

    "In also adding the names R Ashwin, Hardik Pandya and Ishant Sharma to the list of available players, India take on an unbeatable appearance."
    Indian skipper in all formats of the game, Virat Kohli will once again be playing after recently becoming a father, while Ashwin looks to return after supposedly healing from the back and rib injuries he’d suffered during the Sydney Test last month.

    On the other hand, batting allrounder Hardik Pandya is also expected to play and provide assistance on both sides of the pitch after recovering from a lower back surgery which prevented him from bowling during his limited-overs tour Down Under.

    Chappell, in his column, believes that Team India, which is known to play on a different level when at home, will have the upper hand over the visiting England side, despite the latter’s 2-0 domination in Sri Lanka recently.

    "...The availability of a premium player in Ben Stokes who, like (Hardik) Pandya, provides all-round ability and selection flexibility, albeit at a higher level than the Indian, is a big plus. And Jofra Archer adds substantially to the quality of an already strong pace attack.
    "However it's the top of the England order, where another returning player, Rory Burns, will reside, that the scales tip in India's favour.
    "India's top three feature an impressive Shubman Gill, a talented but flawed Rohit Sharma and the indomitable Cheteshwar Pujara, which places them well ahead of England's top order."

    Arguably one of the most beautiful cricket stadiums in the world right now, the Gwadar ground in Balochistan has people from all over the marvelling over the scenery amid which the infrastructure stands.
    Last year in October 2020, one of the franchises of the Pakistan Super League, Peshawar Zalmi held a training camp with 50 shortlisted players at the venue and shared some incredible images of the stadium from their social media handle.

    Now, the Twitter account of the International Cricket Council also shared some images of the Balochistan ground recently, asking whether the fans had seen “a more picturesque sports venue”:
    ️ Show us a more picturesque sports venue than the Gwadar cricket stadium in Balochistan.

    We'll wait...

    Engaging online, various fans shared beautiful images of the numerous stadiums that they felt shared similar beauty as the Gwadar stadium.

    However, one troll couldn’t help but disrupt the cordial way in which fans were interacting with each other online when he made the controversial comment about remaining the Balochistan stadium after the former captain of the Indian cricket team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
    Baluchistan jab India ke adhin aaega to iska nam MSD ke nam pe rakhenge
    — Kunal Priyadarshi (@kunalpriyadars4) January 31, 2021
    As expected, Twitter user @kunalpriyadars4’s comment created a stir on the ICC post:

    There are many other NSFW comments in the Twitter thread which can’t be mentioned here for obvious reasons.
    Over the past couple of years, Pakistan has been putting in the effort to make the country capable of hosting regular international cricket matches once again and have done considerably well with support shown from cricketers and cricketing bodies of other countries.

    The first edition of the PSL which took place back in 2016, conducted all their matches in the United Arab Emirates. Every year since then, the Pakistan cricket board has been organising more and more matches on home soil, keeping in mind the safety of the international players and their comfort.
    Finally, every match of the fifth and latest season of the tournament took place in Pakistan and the four major stadiums the country possesses namely Gaddafi Stadium (Lahore), National Stadium (Karachi), Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium (Rawalpindi) and Multan Cricket Stadium (Multan).
    With the last bilateral series between India and Pakistan aging more than a decade now, any possibility of either side touring each other’s countries remains slim to none due to political tensions.
    The last time any Pakistani cricketer got to play in BCCI’s marquee Indian Premier League was in its inaugural season in 2008 when names like Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi played for Kolkata Knight Riders and Deccan Chargers, respectively among other players and franchises.
