Pakistan Cricket Captain Babar Azam scored an unbeaten century in the ongoing Test match between Pakistan and Australia at the National Stadium, Karachi. Indian spin great Ravichandran Ashwin has praised Babar for his fighting ton. This is Babar’s 6th Test century and has come at a crucial moment when Pakistan is facing a huge target of 506 runs in the second innings of the 2nd Test. View this post on Instagram The home team fell into a precarious situation when they lost 2 wickets at a paltry total of 21 and were staring at an impending defeat. Babar along with his younger colleague Abdullah Shafique decided to fight back. Both the batters kept their nerves and stitched a super comeback. Both remained unbeaten till the end of day 4 when the score showed 192/2. Stylish Babar Azam completed his 6th Test ton and will continue his onwards journey on the last day of the match. Ravichandran Ashwin who after finishing a complete whitewash against Sri Lanka, is relaxing and closely following the Pakistan vs Australia match, found Babar’s show highly impressive and hailed the stylish right-hander for his fighting hundred. As a result of his performance, Ashwin now thinks that the match would have an interesting Day 5 with all three results possible. “Babar Azam, going to be an exciting finish tomorrow. #PAKVAUS” tweeted Ashwin. Babar Azam , going to be an exciting finish tomorrow. #PAKvAUS — Ashwin (@ashwinravi99) March 15, 2022 Cricket fans from both sides of the India-Pakistan border reacted to Ashwin’s tweet with warmth and affection: 4th innings Mai century always special hota hai Well played @babarazam258 https://t.co/krLStefUOs — Satish Mishra (@SATISHMISH78) March 15, 2022Thank you bro appreciate kerny k leye Much love from Pakistan — Emotional Typist (@Ayyo443) March 15, 2022This inning was necessary That PSL wala pressure is gone !

Love to see good cricket and sportsmanship not politics. https://t.co/IXOGd5MFy2 — Shah (@shezanmangopapi) March 16, 2022Reacting to Ashwin’s tweet, the former Pakistan captain and ace wicket-keeper Rashid Lateef expressed on his YouTube channel the gratitude he felt for Ashwin for showing his honest appreciation for another cricketer of the rival team. Rashid said “I always find Ashwin opening his heart and genuinely appreciating players from other teams too. That makes him so lovable even in Pakistan.” Rashid lauded the fighting performance put up by Babar. He termed Babar’s this hundred as the most valuable Test knock as it came under severe pressure. Rashid felt that this time Babar really played a captain’s knock. He had complete composure and controlled and timed his shots superbly. He patiently waited for the ball to soften up before going for big hits. Rashid also hailed Abdullah who supported Babar with equal patience and build an unbeaten partnership of 171 runs. View this post on Instagram After stumps, Babar spoke about his mindset of entering the field with a big target on board. “This knock means a lot to me, the team needed it. Fortunately, I have managed to good partnership with Shafique. The match is not over yet, so we need to continue playing in the same way, and other batters also need to step up.” Said Babar. Pakistan batters will resume their innings on the last day with a goal of reaching the remaining 314 runs in the 90 overs with 8 wickets in hand. Australia bowling attack would like to take advantage of the cracks of the Day 5 pitch. Whatever the end result may be, this is going to be a sure shot entertainer. View the full article

Babar Azam scores his sixth Test century against Australia at the National Stadium Karachi -
Former India Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane paid the price for his inconsistent form when he was dropped from India’s Test squad last week for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka. Along with Rahane, several other senior players Cheteshwar Pujara, Wriddhiman Saha and Ishant Sharma were also shown the exit door by the senior national selection panel and were asked to play Ranji Trophy for their respective state units. © Reuters On his return to the domestic circuit after a long time, the Mumbai batter stole the limelight by scoring a century against defending champions Saurashtra in the first innings as the match ended in a draw. It was the first century to have come off Rahane’s bat in over 12 months. His knock had increased the hopes of his fans who wanted him to succeed in domestic cricket and make a comeback to the Indian team. © Reuters However, they were all left disappointed on Thursday morning when the right-handed batter got out for a three-ball duck in the first innings against Goa. Rahane was trapped leg before by young fast bowler Lakshay Garg. Even when Rahane was in the Indian team, consistency was an issue and that’s what cost him his place in the side. After he failed to open his account, the people started trolling him, saying that the old habits don’t die that easily and he had returned to his normal.

He scored two boundaries during his brief stay in the middle and was dismissed for eight runs. © Reuters Both Rahane and Pujara have served the Indian cricket team for a long time and have played a key role in the team's success all over the world. However, their poor form has forced the selectors to look for their alternatives. Although the selectors have not shut the door on them completely, it’s hard to see them making a comeback to the red-ball squad. The only way both these senior players can force the selectors to pick them is by piling runs on a consistent basis. These hits and misses are not going to help their cause. View the full article

If you are a Virat Kohli fan, we feel for you, as the former India captain is going through a nightmare as a batter. He had scores of eight and 18 coming into the third and final ODI against the West Indies. However, things went from bad to worst for Kohli as he was sent packing by Alzarri Joseph for a second-ball duck at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Kohli's first ODI series under the new white-ball captain Rohit Sharma ended in the worst possible fashion as he could only manage 26 runs in three outings. Virat Kohli, now, has the second-highest ducks for India in international cricket among batters batting at No. 1 to 7.#India #WestIndies #INDvWI pic.twitter.com/60nB3H8WOU — Sportskeeda (@Sportskeeda) February 11, 2022 Kohli last reached the three-figure mark in 2019 against Bangladesh in a Test match. After a solid batting display in South Africa where he scored a couple of half-centuries, cricket fans were hoping that the century drought would end in the home series against the West Indies, but it wasn't to be. As expected after registering another failure with the bat, Kohli became the butt of jokes for fans as they flooded social media with hilarious memes. #Kohli as soon as he enters the ground these days: #INDvsWI pic.twitter.com/xKQZBOmcCG — Rajat (@monsieurparrot) February 11, 2022#INDvWI #Kohli Indian cricket fans waiting for 71st century pic.twitter.com/gEDO9Gj8h8 — Vishal Deshmukh (@vishald1290) February 11, 2022Kohli got out on Duck so that no one can troll Rohit Sharma .. and people think they have rift .... friendship >>>> 71st King for a reason #kohli #rohit #INDvWI #KLRahul #IPL2022 #IPLMegaAuction pic.twitter.com/k4UUW52OoR — Gabba Ka Papa (@riseup_pant) February 11, 2022#INDvWI #ViratKohli Everyone about #Kohli right now : pic.twitter.com/3kJsQw0vzR — Shraddha (@SsoulImmortal) February 11, 2022 Not only Kohli, even the new India skipper Rohit got out cheaply after winning the toss and electing to bat. Rohit hit three boundaries during his short stay at the crease before dragging the ball onto his stumps off Joseph. For Kohli, it was his second duck in his last five ODI innings. He was dismissed for a duck in South Africa after he was caught at short extra cover off Keshav Maharaj in the second match of the three-game series in the Rainbow nation. FIFTY! A well-made half-century for @imVkohli. His 64th in ODIs.

We fans are obsessed with numbers. It’s a common perception that the more the number of centuries a batter has scored, the more successful he is. Similarly, a bowler’s success is determined by his five-wicket haul. But frankly speaking, cricket is much more than that. Sometimes, a half-century is more valuable than a three-digit score and this fact was once again established on the opening day of the Cape Town Test after watching Virat Kohli's special knock of 79 runs off 201 deliveries. FIFTY! A well made half-century for Captain @imVkohli This is his 28th in Test cricket. Live - https://t.co/rr2tvBaCml #SAvIND pic.twitter.com/5NuhjXWndF — BCCI (@BCCI) January 11, 2022 The Indian fans realised how the stats, at times, can be deceiving and the quality of a knock should be valued more than the amount of runs scored. Returning from injury, Kohli led from the front and single-handedly rallied India to a competitive first innings total of 223 in the series finale in Cape Town. It’s been more than two year since Kohli last scored an international hundred but everyone who watched his innings on Tuesday was of the opinion that his half-century was actually better than any hundred. Innings Break!#TeamIndia all out for 223. Scorecard - https://t.co/yUd0D0YyB7 #SAvIND pic.twitter.com/e4prGUAmwA — BCCI (@BCCI) January 11, 2022 Barring Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Rishabh Pant, to some extent, other Indian batters faile to put up any fight against South African fast bowlers. Some players got out to terrific deliveries while some threw away their wickets playing reckless shots. Having dismissed the Indian openers cheaply, the hosts were on the top and it required an Indian batter to keep the ego inside his pocket and get ready for the grind and India's red-ball skipper did just that and bailed Team India out of trouble. © Reuters In the records book, it would go down as Kohli’s second slowest Test fifty and the future generation might not be able to comprehend the true value of this knock. But for many of us who watched this inning unfold, it was way more valuable than a hundred and we would be cherishing it for a long-long time. Just love watching Kohli bat. Test cricket is lucky to have him #SAvIND — Isa Guha (@isaguha) January 11, 2022Sometimes 79 has a lot more quality than a hundred. This was a top-top knock from a top player. Today Kohli hasn’t missed a century by 21 runs but scored valuable and high-quality 79 runs. #SAvInd — Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) January 11, 2022#ViraatKohli may have missed a ton but those youngsters who watched this knock should have learned a lot more about batting. A classy knock. #INDvSA #SAvIndia #CricketTwitter pic.twitter.com/dmva4DOutJ — parthiv patel (@parthiv9) January 11, 2022This 79 of Virat Kohli is not less than any big Hundred.#ViratKohli #SAvIND pic.twitter.com/G4s744l4RZ — The Cricket Followers (@cricfollowers_1) January 11, 2022Misses the hundred again but that is arguably the best (Test) knock Virat Kohli has played since his last hundred. #SAvInd — Chetan Narula (@chetannarula) January 11, 2022That inning were worth than hundred!
