[ad_1] India's Virat Kohli scored a record 50th one-day international hundred when he reached three figures in the World Cup semi-final against New Zealand in Mumbai on Wednesday, hailing the landmark as being "like a dream".

“Thing May Go Astray If…”: West Indies Great’s Warning To Semi-Finals-Bound India | Cricket News

[ad_1] India have not put a foot wrong in their authoritative run in the Cricket World Cup so far, winning all of their eight group games so far. The Rohit Sharma-led will take on Netherlands on Sunday in the last league match, before squaring off New Zealand/Pakistan in the semi-final next week. Former West Indies captain Vivian Richards said while India might have the mindset to win the World Cup this time, a change in approach could prove to be costly."In terms of this year's competition, India have a mindset that they can go all the way playing like this. That absolutely should be their mindset and would be mine if I was in that dressing room - let's go out with all guns blazing. That approach has worked so far and if that changes, things may go astray," Viv Richards told ICC.Richard...

“Credit To The Game Of Cricket”: West Indies Legend’s Humongous Praise For Virat Kohli | Cricket News

[ad_1] Virat Kohli is a "credit" to the game of cricket, said West Indies batting great Vivian Richards on Thursday, lauding the Indian maestro's ability to emerge unscathed from the most difficult situations thanks to his incredible mental strength. Kohli cracked a world record-equalling 49th century on his 35th birthday recently to join Sachin Tendulkar and is currently second on the run-getters' list with 543 runs in eight games in the ongoing World Cup in India. Kohli went without a century for nearly three years, starting November 2019, and even took a break from the sport to recharge his batteries before coming back to slam his maiden T20I ton against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup last year."Virat is a go-getter and what sets him apart is his mental strength.

‘Luck Went India’s Way, No One Was Impressive’: West Indies Great On 1983 World Cup Final | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former West Indies pacer Andy Roberts feels India were "lucky" to win the World Cup in 1983. Roberts, who is considered the father of modern West Indian fast bowling, won the World Cup twice with West Indies in 1975 and 1979. However, Roberts and West Indies failed to defend their title in 1983, losing to India in the final. The Kapil Dev-led side defeated West Indies not once, but twice during the event in 1983. However, Roberts said none of the Indian cricketers impressed him in the final."We were in form but due for a bad game. It was just India's luck in 1983. Because of that great team that we had, we lost two games in 1983, and both to India. And then, five or six months later, we beat India 6-0. So, it was just that game. Luck went India's way after they were dismissed for ...
