The auctions for the IPL 2020 have taken place and while some cricketers have been bought for exorbitant prices, several talented players have remained unsold in the auction. Indian cricketer Hanuma Vihari (26) is also one of those cricketers who have not been purchased by any franchise in this IPL auction but the young player is not disheartened as he is focusing on the New Zealand tour. Hanuma’s base price was Rs. 50 lakhs but as the luck would have it, he remained unsold. When Hanuma was asked about it, he clearly said that he is not demoralised as it was not in his control but he doesn’t want to waste his time thinking about it or talking about it. He further says that he has been playing well in the shorter formats of the game for his state team Andhra Pradesh so if he will get a chance to play for the country, he will definitely play well in the national team as well. Hanuma has made his test debut in 2018 against England and since then, he has been developing as one of the m...

Virat Kohli, the skipper of team India, may be the number one batsman in ODIs and Test matches in the present scenario and his fans may be calling him GOAT (Greatest Of All Times) but there was a time when he struggled a lot in the longer format of the game. At that time, the cricket experts, media and cricket fans were of the opinion that Virat does not belong to be there in the tests but it was the Indian skipper of that time, MS Dhoni who showed his faith in Kohli and gave him an extra chance. On his first tour to Australia, the scores (11, 0, 23 and 9) of Kohli in the first two test matches sum up his performance. Nobody wanted him in the team except Dhoni and former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar. Kohli justified Dhoni’s faith in him by scoring 44 and 75 in the third test and he kept the best for the last as he scored a brilliant century in the fourth test. Since then, the Indian skipper Virat Kohli has been playing superbly and he is undoubtedly one of the best batsmen that...

The rivalry between India and Pakistan is not new and it is also pretty much visible on the cricket field between the teams. However, this rivalry was more intense in the old days when both the teams used to visit each other for bilateral series. But no cricketing nation likes to visit Pakistan because of the strong hold on anti-national elements in the Pakistani system and every country is afraid for the safety of their team. Javed Miandad, the former Pakistani cricketer, is known for creating controversies; he used to do this when he was playing and now even after retirement, he is doing the same. If you remember, he was seen holding a sword and shouting slogans against India after India abolished Act 370 and 35 A. Now he has once again ranted against India and asked ICC to tell all the cricketing nations to stop visiting India. He calls India an unsafe country and says that other nations are better as there are protests taking place in India and the Indian government is fighting ...

KL Rahul is one of the most well-known cricketers of India and he is famous not just for his game but for some other reasons as well. The biggest controversy that he attracted was when he appeared in the talk show Koffee With Karan after which he was slammed and also suspended from playing. Despite the fact that he is a talented player, he also experienced a rough patch; when he was not ousted from the team even after many poor performances, people started saying that he is in the team because he is Virat Kohli’s friend. The good thing is that he has performed pretty well against West Indies and has also been appointed the skipper of IPL team Kings XI Punjab (KXIP). KXIP has never won an IPL but we are sure that KL Rahul will leave no stone unturned in creating history. KL Rahul is also known for his link-ups as earlier he was said to be dating actress Niddhi Agarwal and now he is seen with actress Athiya Shetty on many occasions. They both have chosen to remain silent on the ma...
