[ad_1] File photo of Yuvraj Singh.© AFPFormer India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh believes that the country's star batter Shubman Gill has the potential to become the best player of this generation. Gill is surely one of the rising superstars of Indian cricket. The 24-year-old is among the best batters the Indian team has. However, it seems that Gill's own best is yet to come as his batting graph continues to rise with time. The right-handed batter was the top run-scorer during India's recently-concluded three-match ODI series against Australia."Shubman Gill has the potential to become the best player of this generation. The guy works hard. Since he was 19-20, his attitude has always been like that. He works four times harder than a normal guy since he was a kid. Whatever I have worked with h...

[ad_1] Left-arm spinner Ashton Agar harbours no "ill feeling" after being sent back from the Indian Test tour without a game because he knows it's "ruthless" in top-level cricket.

The 29-year-old responded by picking up five wickets for Western Australia in the Marsh Cup final against South Australia."I felt I wasn't bowling as well as I needed to be. It's a very clear direction for me now to just work on it and improve," Agar was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo."I harbour no ill will or ill feeling at all. I'm very well supported in that (Aus...

“Said It Would Be Difficult…”: Ex-Pakistan Star’s U-Turn On Virat Kohli’s Comeback | Cricket News

[ad_1] Regarded by many as the greatest batter of his generation, Virat Kohli had a rough patch with the bat for the majority of 2022.

Amid his struggles with the bat, former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Asif had suggested that once Kohli loses his magic touch, it would be difficult for him to regain his form.However, Kohli ended his century drought last season during the Asia Cup, smashing 122 off 61 balls against Afghanistan. It was his 71st century in international cricket, and his first in the shortest format of the game.Kohli carried his form in the T20 World Cup, ending the tournament as the top-scorer.Since ...

His knock included 12 fours and 7 sixes, with every boundary off his bat certainly sending a message to all that he is as good in the shortest format as in the Test or ODI cricket.
