Australia teenager Sam Konstas might have played just two Tests so far, but the opening batter is already enjoying a huge fan following Down Under. The youngster caught the limelight on his debut after clashing with Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah during the Boxing Day Test against India in Melbourne last month. However, the 19-year-old made the headlines for his fearless batting as he took on the Indian quicks for fun. While Konstas did manage to ruffle a few feathers back in India, the youngster was also successful in generating a never-before-seen fandom. Having said that, a man crashed his car after forgetting to apply the handbrake, just to get a picture with Konstas. A viral video capturing the entire moment has surfaced on social media. After spotting Konstas on the streets, a man quickly parked his car in order to click a picture with arguably the next big thing in Australian cricket. However, the man forgot to apply the handbreakes. Since the car was on a slope, it slowly began moving, only …

File image of Devdutt Padikkal (centre).© AFP Left-handed India batter Devdutt Padikkal heads a list of elite Indian cricketers in 50-over cricket, even above ODI great Virat Kohli. Padikkal boasts a sensational statistic that puts him miles clear of Kohli, Rohit Sharma and other greats of the 50-over game. The 24-year-old, who represents Karnataka in domestic cricket, boasts a stunning List A (50-over cricket) batting average of 82.52, well ahead of any other Indian. What makes Padikkal’s record even more special is that he has already amassed over 2,000 List A runs at such a high average.  Padikkal has been in glorious form in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, India’s premier 50-over domestic tournament. The left-hander completed his seventh successive half-century in the tournament to take Karnataka to the final, beating Haryana. It is a streak spanning two seasons In 31 List A innings, Padikkal has scored 2,063 runs, and even boasts a healthy strike rate of over 91. His ridiculous average puts him above Virat Kohli (57.05), Cheteshwar Pujara (57.01) and Ruturaj …

“Shubman Gill Not In Captaincy Thoughts”: Huge Blow To India Star As New Contenders Emerge

Published by Webster

From being the vice-captain of the Indian team, Shubman Gill has gone on to become only a squad player. The top-order batter doesn’t hold a spot in India’s T20I team and isn’t a certainty in Tests either. Even his place in India’s ODI team can be questioned. Over the past year or so, Gill’s stocks have fallen dramatically and the selectors seem to have moved on from him when it comes to the future leadership plans. As Rohit Sharma nears the end of his captaincy career, the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant are reportedly set to be groomed, alongside Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah led the Indian team in two matches during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He looks like the No. 1 candidate to take up the Test captaincy role, though hit injury record does worry the selection committee and the team management a little. Hence, Pant and Jaiswal have been backed for the vice-captain’s role. As this transition in the Indian team begins to take shape, former cricketer Aakash Chopra highlighted how Gill …
