Rohit Sharma alludes to a potential cinematic debut in cryptic post on social media

<p>Former Pakistan skipper and one of their most prolific batsmen, Mohammad Hafeez recently offered a scathing review of Rohit Sharma's performance as the captain of team India. In addition to claiming that he looks lost, and weak, Hafeez declared that Sharma currently runs the risk of losing his captaincy.</p>

<p>Sharma has led the Men in Blue to two triumphs in their ongoing Asia Cup campaign, with one victory coming against their arch-rivals, Pakistan. However, it seems like Hafeez is far from impressed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a video that he recently shared on social media, Hafeez was seen flaming Sharma for the way he has gone about performing his duties as skipper. Hafeez, who was analysing his performance in a segment on PTV, declared that captaincy had exacted a heavy toll on Sharma.</p>

Former Pakistan skipper believes Rohit Sharma will lose his captaincy, claims he ‘looks lost’

<p>With his most recent Asia Cup outing, in which he showed glimpses of his old self, Virat Kohli made his way into the T20I record books as he became the player with the highest average in the shortest format of the game.</p>

<p>He managed to accomplish the feat during India's Group A clash against Hong Kong at the Dubai International Stadium. He built an extremely interesting partnership with Suryakumar Yadav, personally putting&nbsp;59* runs on the board off of 44 balls. He stormed to this score, bagging&nbsp;one four and three sixes.&nbsp;</p>

Suryakumar Yadav gives epic reply to Virat Kohli</a></p>

<p>Kohli has scored 3,402 runs in the T20I format at an average of 50.77 over the course of 101 matches, effectively becoming the player with the highest average in this format. He did so by surpassing Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan, who boasts of an average of 50.14, which he has consolidated across 57 matches.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In addition, Kohli also recently equalled yet another record that is held by his teammate and skipper, Rohit Sharma, for the highest number of 50-plus scores in the T20I format, by upping his tally to&nbsp;31. Of these half centuries, his best score to date has been that of 94*.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite this recent slew of successes on the pitch, Kohli is yet to bring an end to a lengthy century drought that has plagued him for over a thousand days. This drought, in addition to a series of disappointing performances, prompted a clear break from the sport, which came to an end just before the start of the Asia Cup.</p>

<p>Since his return to active contention, Kohli has repeatedly asserted that his vigour and desire to perform well on the pitch have been renewed. While an international ton still eludes him, based on his recent performances, he is certainly well on his way to bagging it sooner rather than later.</p>


With his most recent Asia Cup outing, in which he showed glimpses of his old self, Virat Kohli made his way into the T20I record books as he became the player with the highest average in the shortest format of the game.

With his most recent Asia Cup outing, in which he showed glimpses of his old self, Virat Kohli made his way into the T20I record books as he became the player with the highest average in the shortest format of the game. He managed to accomplish the feat during India's Group A clash against Hong Kong at the Dubai International Stadium. He built an extremely interesting partnership with Suryakumar Yadav, personally putting 59* runs on the board off of 44 balls. He stormed to this score, bagging one four and three sixes.

Suryakumar Yadav gives epic reply to Virat Kohli Kohli has scored 3,402 runs in the T20I format at an average of 50.77 over the course of 101 matches, effectively becoming the player with the highest average in this format. He did so by surpassing Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan, who boasts of an average of 50.14, which he has consolidated across 57 matches. In addition, Kohli also recently equalled yet another record that is held by his teammate and skipper, Rohit Sharma, for the highest number of 50-plus scores in the T20I format, by upping his tally to 31. Of these half centuries, his best score to date has been that of 94*.

<p>With the transfer mill running rampant as the deadline for the window approaches, Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea have confirmed a swap deal with Barcelona worth&nbsp;£10M, bringing on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in exchange for Marcos Alonso.</p>

<p>Although Auba will be making his way back to London, he will be sporting the iconic blue jersey of the Stamford Bridge-based outfit. He previously charted a course to Spain after Arsenal decided to ship him off to Catalunya for free. However, he is set to return to the city, joining the ranks of their neighbouring arch-rivals.</p>

<p>Auba was recently cleared to fly to the United Kingdom to complete the formalities that come with joining a new club, including his medical. His personal terms are not expected to be a roadblock in completing this transfer.</p>

<p>However, it will be some time before the team gets the opportunity to train alongside the Gabon international as he is currently recovering from a minor fracture to his jaw, which he suffered during an attack on his home over the weekend.

<p>India's Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli put on an absolutely inspiring performance in their latest Asia Cup outing against Hong Kong to record&nbsp;98 runs for the 3rd wicket. Between the two it was Yadav who shone the brightest, impressing fans and pundits with batting prowess as he consistently found the boundary.</p>

<p>In the penultimate over of the innings, Yadav smashed Hong Kong's&nbsp;Haroon Arshad for four sixes. What makes the feat all the more impressive is the fact that at one point in the over, it seemed like Yadav could have bagged half a dozen sixes. However, that didn't come to pass as he failed to score any runs on the fourth delivery of the over.</p>

'Did you think of matching Yuvraj Singh's six sixes feat?' Suryakumar Yadav gives epic reply to Virat Kohli

<p>A seemingly perennial century drought building on a slew of underwhelming performances on the pitch forced Indian cricket mega-star Virat Kohli to consider taking a step back from the sport for a short while.

<p>With his latest outing against Asia Cup rivals Hong Kong at the Dubai International Stadium, Rohit Sharma reached an extremely impressive milestone, effectively becoming&nbsp;the only player to boast of a unique record.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Although Sharma's performance against Hong Kong was nothing to write home about, it was just enough to earn him the mantle of the first player to reach 3500 runs in the shortest format of the game. His total haul of runs in the T20I format stands at a whopping 3,520.</p>

<p>He recorded the feat in the fourth ball that he faced against Hong Kong with a simple single. However, he failed to build on his impressive tally of runs as he could only manage to accumulate 21 runs off of 13 balls. During his short-lived stint on the pitch against Hong Kong, Sharma managed to put on a pair of fours and a six on the scoreboard.</p>

<p>However, it is interesting to note that Sharma, who happens to be the highest run-getter in the format,&nbsp;is only the first male player to record the impressive feat considering how&nbsp;New Zealand's&nbsp;Suzie Bates beat him to the pie as she currently has an uber-impressive run tally of&nbsp;3531.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Former Manchester United bigwig Ryan Giggs is facing a retrial after the jury responsible for issuing a ruling, failed to reach a verdict on the charges relating to controlling behaviour&nbsp;and&nbsp;assault, which were levelled at him by his former girlfriend, Kate Greville.</p>

Jury discharged following failure to reach verdict in Ryan Giggs assault trial

<p>The Pakistan Cricket Board recently found itself at the receiving end of a significant amount of hate and flak from former all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez. He slammed the national board for the time that they took to effectively deal with ace pacer Shaheen Afridi's injury.</p>

<p>The Shaheens' bowling order was recently dealt an extremely tough blow after their star bowler was ruled out of active contention due to a knee injury that he sustained while fielding back in July during&nbsp;the first Test against Sri Lanka.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A lot has been said of Afridi, who has since been shackled to the sidelines, and the rate of his recovery. Owing to the fateful injury, Afridi was forced to miss out on the second Test against Sri Lanka, the subsequent series against the Netherlands, and the ongoing Asia Cup tournament. On Monday, the board revealed that Shaheen was London-bound to receive further medical attention to fast-track his road to recovery.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Discussing Afridi's recovery in a video that he recently shared on social media, Hafeez was seen slamming the board for failing to seek the appropriate medical intervention and rehabilitation at the moment the extent of his injury was revealed.</p>

<p>"The things that I read and heard over the last few days, there was an official post. So this time period of 4 weeks or 6 weeks or 8 weeks - since the time he got injured, I think wasting this time is a criminal act," he asserted.</p>
