The Women's Premier League's (WPL) auction made heads turn on Monday (February 13). Many marquee players went under the hammer and earned big-fat pay cheques. After the auction got over, a video went viral where a young girl can be seen hitting some big shots while playing cricket with a group of boys. Her shots made heads turn and caught the attention of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar as well. The former Indian batter took to his official Twitter handle to laud her with a heartfelt tweet.

Tendulkar took to his Twitter handle, shared the video of the young girl's batting heroics and captioned the post: "Kal hi toh auction hua.. aur aaj match bhi shuru? Kya baat hai. (The WPL auction ended yesterday and the match begins today? Unbelievable. Really enjoyed your batting)."

The young girl hit some blazing shots down the ground and shuffled towards the leg side as well, finding the gaps with ease. In addition, she was playing barefoot in a desert and just didn't feel the heat as her timing and shot selection have gone viral. As a result, SRT's tweet went viral as more people took note of the young girl and the video has already surpassed 1.8K views.&nbsp;

Ahead of the second Test versus Australia, in New Delhi, Rohit Sharma-led India have created history. India displaced Australia to become the No. 1 ranked side in ICC Test Rankings and have also become the No. 1 team across formats. This is the first time that the Indian cricket team has&nbsp;topped the rankings across formats at the same time; making Rohit the first Indian captain to achieve the feat. India have been the No. 1 ranked side in T20Is for quite some time whereas they topped the ODI rankings following a 3-0 whitewash over New Zealand in the home series, in January. After their big win in the four-match Test series opener versus Australia&nbsp;by an innings and 132 runs, India have now topped the Test rankings to become No. 1 in all forms of the game.

In Tests, here's the top-five teams:

INDIA - 115 rating points 
Australia - 111 rating points 
England - 106 rating points 
New Zealand - 100 rating points 
South Africa - 85 rating points

Among the players, R Ashwin jumped to the second spot in ICC Rankings for bowlers in Tests after his eight wicket haul in the Nagpur Test. The list is led by Australia captain Pat Cummins. Meanwhile, captain Rohit Sharma was rewarded for his majestic 120 in the first Test and moved from the 10th to the 8th spot in&nbsp;the Men's Test Batting Rankings. India will have to win the upcoming second Test versus Australia, in the national capital, to hold on to the top spot in Tests and strengthen their chances of making it to the ICC World Test Championship final -- for the second time in a row -- which will be held in June.

MASSIVE FEAT! Rohit Sharma-led India become No. 1 across formats, dethrone Australia in Tests

Virat Kohli was going through a torrid run in 2022. With his numbers going down across formats, there were concerns being raised with regard to his spot in the national side. In July 2022, when India were involved in a three-match ODI series versus hosts England, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam -- regarded as Kohli's rival -- made heads turn with his heartfelt gesture for an underfire Kohli. Babar took to his official Twitter handle to share a message for out-of-form Kohli amid his constant criticism.&nbsp;

On July 14, Babar took to his official account and shared an image with Kohli with caption, "This too shall pass. Stay strong." Kohli also replied to Babar and wrote, "Thank you. Keep shining and rising. Wish you all the best."

The two met in the 2022 Asia Cup, where India and Pakistan met twice (winning and losing one each), and also during the T20 World Cup in Australia (where Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. defeated Babar-led Men in Green).&nbsp;

Recently, Babar opened up on his heartfelt tweet for Kohli during&nbsp;an interview with ICC Digital Insider. He revealed, "As a sportsperson, anyone can go through such a time. At that time I thought maybe if I tweet it might give someone help and confidence. See, as a player, you try to back every sportsman in a difficult time." Babar added, "It is in difficult times that you get to know what you are thinking about others. At that time, I thought I should have done that, and maybe something positive would come out of it. Something that can be a plus point."

Kohli moved past his poor run of form immediately after Babar's tweet. He ended the Asia Cup as the second-highest run-getter (276 runs), was in superb form in T20 World Cup (with three half-centuries) and has scored three international tons since then (two in ODIs, one in T20Is). He will be eager to break his Test-century drought during the ongoing home series versus Australia. Babar, on the other hand, is leading Peshawar Zalmi in PSL 2023.

Jasprit Bumrah's return is keenly awaited in Team India colours. The speedster has been out of action at the international level since September 2022, due to back issues, and missed the entire T20 World Cup 2022, Bangladesh tour, and home series versus Sri Lanka and New Zealand. He was expected to return for the ongoing India-Australia Tests, at home, for the last two matches but now it has been reported that he won't be joining the side for the red-ball series.

After the conclusion of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India will host Australia in three ODIs -- on March 17, 19, and 22&nbsp;-- and as per&nbsp;news agency PTI, Bumrah won't be returning even for the 50-over series and will likely make his comeback straightaway in IPL 2023 for the Mumbai Indians (MI) where his workload will be closely monitored. Bumrah had pulled out of the India-Sri Lanka ODIs, in January,&nbsp;after the right-arm seamer felt discomfort in his back. He was drafted into the squad and even cleared the match simulation on the first day at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). He, however, complained of back issues when the load&nbsp;increased the following day. Thus, he was pulled out of the ODI squad and has not rejoined the team since then.

Talking about Ronaldo's much-talked about celebration, the striker had revealed in 2019: "I started to say ‘si’, it’s like ‘yes’, when I was in Real Madrid. When we would win, everyone would say ‘siiiii’ and so I started to say it. I don’t know why, it was natural.

MS Dhoni-Gary Kirsten had a memorable run as captain-coach for Team India from 2007-2011. Under them, India scaled new heights by becoming the No. 1 Test side for the first time ever, winning the CB Series in Australia in 2008, beating New Zealand in their own backyard in ODIs and Tests, drawing a Test series in South Africa and winning the 2010 Asia Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup.&nbsp;

Recently, Kirsten spilled the beans on working with Dhoni. The former South African opener recalled the time he was appointed as India's head coach in December 2007 amid the "superstar" culture in the Indian team and revealed how Dhoni was different than the lot as he focused on team goals than individual milestones.

Kirsten explained, "Any coach would want a group of players playing for the name on the front of the shirt and not the name on the back of the shirt. India is a tough place with a lot of hype around individual superstars, and you often get lost in what your own personal needs are. And Dhoni meanwhile was standout as a leader as he was so focused on the team doing well, he wanted to win trophies and have great success and he was very public about that. And that pulled a lot of other guys into line, and quite simply, Sachin started enjoying cricket as well."

"MS and I formed the most unlikely partnership of captain and coach you will ever imagine in international games, and we end up having this incredible journey together," he added.

Kirsten-Dhoni's partnership was hailed for the team environment they created together. All the players came together for one goal; i.e. winning the 2011 ODI WC on home soil and were determined to top the ICC Test Rankings, a feat they attained in late 2009. Kirsten vacated the post after India's historic ODI WC triumph and was succeeded by Duncan Fletcher.

WPL 2023 Auction: On Monday (February 13), it was a historic day for women's cricket. The inaugural Women's Premier League (WPL)'s auction took place in Mumbai and saw many big players going under the hammer.

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023 edition got underway, in Pakistan, on February 13 (Monday). All eyes are many marquee players in the tournament who will look to put up a solid show whereas many discarded cricketers will hope for a memorable run to make a comeback into their respective national sides. Among the discarded players, Umar Akmal will hope for a smooth run in PSL 2023, where he is representing the Quetta Gladiators.&nbsp;

Ahead of the Gladiators' opening clash, where they face Md Rizwan-starrer Multan Sultans, Umar lashed out at a reporter when he was asked about his fitness and knack of uploading videos on Tik Tok. To this, Umar snapped at the journalist and said, "It is my personal life and it is in front of everyone. It would be better if you refrain from asking such questions."

Further, Umar&nbsp;also asserted that nothing is wrong with his fitness, claiming to be&nbsp;“superfit”. “Fitness is in front of you. I am not the only one. If you ask other players about it, they will also answer it in the same way,” he said. “I have worked very hard on my fitness and I am feeling super fit,” the swashbuckling right-hander added. Here's the video:

This isn't the first instance where questions have been raised over Akmal's fitness. It was recently raised by former Pakistan all-rounder and captain Shahid Afridi. The ex-cricketer felt&nbsp;Umar was lucky to be picked by the Gladiators despite his string of poor performances.

"Umar Akmal should thank Quetta Gladiators because other franchises were not interested in picking him in PSL. Umar Akmal has problem of fitness since quite a long. I like him as a batter, but Umar Akmal still has to work upon his fitness a lot," Afridi was quoted as saying by&nbsp;cricketpakistan.com.pk.

Umar will be eager to silence his critics in PSL 2023. He last represented Pakistan in late 2019. He has 1,003, 3,194 and 1,690 runs in Tests, ODIs and T20Is, respectively.

PSL 2023: 'Would be better if....': Umar Akmal slams reporter when asked about his fitness - WATCH

India will be hosting Australia in the second Test, of the four-match series, which gets underway on February 17 (Friday). Cheteshwar Pujara, India's No. 3 batter, will be playing his 100th Test and become only the 12th Indian to enter the 100-Test club. He will become the second&nbsp;active Indian player to achieve the feat after Kohli (105 Tests).

Ahead of the second Test, in the national capital, R Ashwin lauded Pujara. He, however, pointed out --&nbsp;in his column for ESPNCricinfo -- that Pujara&nbsp;and even Murali Vijay, who recently retired from international cricket,&nbsp;are not celebrated enough.

Ashwin said, "M Vijay, according to me the greatest opener for India outside of Sunil Gavaskar and Virender Sehwag, and Puji are quite similar in that they haven't been celebrated enough. They also had some of the most hilarious arguments. They used to do the most difficult job in Test cricket - play out the new ball in testing conditions, as we tend to need to do whenever we go abroad - so it is par for the course to have a few eccentricities emerge from that kind of partnership."

Further, the wily off-spinner Ashwin hailed Pujara's stubbornness, which has broken down the best of the attacks in the recent past. In this regard, he said, "Pat Cummins bowls good ball after good ball, changing the angles, trying a bouncer, trying a sucker ball, but all he gets from Puji is the leave or the dead defence. Actually I don't recall thinking Puji had a great defence when I first saw him, but his stubbornness is such that he has broken down the best of the attacks with his defence."

"Most batters add to their game when they are successful or cut out some elements when they are failing, but Puji keeps trusting his method. You can't convince him to change. I used to use a Tamil nickname for him with Shankar Basu, our previous trainer: Mirugam, the beast. Just like a beast focuses single-mindedly on its prey, Puji focuses on batting," he added.

Pujara has had a glittering career in the red-ball format. In 99 Tests, he has 7,021 runs at an average of 44.15 with 19 tons and 34 half-centuries. He will aim for a memorable outing on his 100th Test and take India to a 2-0 scoreline with another impressive win in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

World number one Iga Swiatek said she is trying to keep herself grounded and accepts that she cannot be perfect all the time following her fourth-round exit at the Australian Open, as the Pole prepares to defend her Qatar Open title this week.

The 21-year-old was hot favourite to win the year's first Grand Slam in Melbourne but crashed to a 6-4 6-4 defeat against Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina. "I really wanted to focus on getting my expectations lower and not expect from myself that I'm going to play perfectly all the time," she told reporters. Swiatek went on a 37-match winning run last year, and won the French and U.S. Opens as well as titles at Doha, Indian Wells, Miami, Stuttgart, Rome and San Diego.

"Last season was so strange that it can mess with your head a little bit. I wanted to get both feet on the ground, focus on hard work and what I have to do on court," Swiatek said. "I was really happy because we did, I'd say it was like the last part of pre-season. Our practice was intense and the volume was big. I feel I could really focus on the technical stuff and just improve as a player."

Swiatek said she was not approaching the Qatar Open as a defending champion. "I want to start this tournament as any other player, and we all do that and start from the same spot," Swiatek said. "There's so many matches to win, so many obstacles to overcome that I want to be focused just on the next step."

Mohammed Shami remains an integral part of Team India across formats. At 32, the pacer has represented India in 61 Tests, 87 ODIs, and 23 T20Is, claiming 219, 159, and 24 scalps respectively. While he is spearheading India's pace attack in the ongoing home Test series versus Australia, there was a time in Shami's career when he was contemplating retirement. After going through a lot in his personal life in early 2018, Shami's fitness standards&nbsp;dropped and he was out of the Indian team. Just when he thought about retiring from the game, the then bowling coach Bharat Arun took him to then head coach Ravi Shastri and the former revealed how Shastri came to Shami's aid.

'I am very angry and I want to quit cricket'

Arun told Cricbuzz, "Just before the 2018 tour of England, we had a fitness test and Shami failed it. He lost his place in the Indian team. He called me and said he wanted to have a word with me. So I invited him to my room; he was going through personal turmoil. His fitness was affected, mentally he was gone. He came to me and said 'I am very angry and I want to quit cricket'. I immediately took Shami to meet Ravi Shastri. We both went up to his room and I said 'Ravi, Shami wants to say something'. Ravi asked what it was and Shami told him the same thing that 'I don't want to play cricket'. Both of us asked 'What will you do if not play cricket?' What else do you know? You know how to bowl when given the ball."

Arun added, "So Ravi said 'It's good that you're angry. This is the best thing that has happened to you because you have a ball in hand. Your fitness is poor. Whatever anger it is that you have, take it out on your body. We are going to send you to National Cricket Academy and want you to go there for 4 weeks and stay there. You will not go home, and only head to NCA. It suited Shami also because he had a problem going to Kolkata then so he spent 5 weeks at the NCA. I still remember the call he made and told me 'Sir, I have become like a stallion. Make me run as much as you want'. The 5 weeks that he spent there, he realised what working on fitness can do to him."

Not going home and working on his bowling and fitness worked wonders for Shami. He missed the one-off Test versus Afghanistan in June 2018 but returned to the Test squad for the away series in England, claiming the second-most wickets for India (17).&nbsp;

After that, there was no looking back for Shami.&nbsp;He was India's top performer in the away ODI series versus New Zealand in early 2019, took a hat-trick in the 2019 ODI World Cup, and remains&nbsp;an indispensable part of India's pace attack in red-ball format to date. He is also&nbsp;a vital part of India's plans keeping&nbsp;the WTC final and 2023 ODI World Cup in mind.&nbsp;
