Ahead of their one-off Test versus Ben Stokes-led England, the Rohit Sharma-led Team India players are currently involved in a four-day practice game versus Leicestershire at the&nbsp;Grace Road, Leicester. After India resumed the second day's play and declared their first innings at 246-8, thanks to wicketkeeper KS Bharat's unbeaten 70, Mohammed Shami has done wonders for India with the ball in hand.

Shami has been in top form and removed Leicestershire skipper&nbsp;Samuel Evans for 1 before he got rid of India's Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara for a 6-ball duck. The right-hander, who was recalled into India's Test squad following a memorable run for Sussex in the County Championship, chopped the ball onto the stumps as Shami celebrated in style. Dismissing his Test teammate, Shami ran towards Pujara and&nbsp;gave him a warm embrace. Here's the video of the dismissal and Shami jumping on Pujara from behind:

Mohammad Shami 'looking forward' to next game against New Zealand, shares image from training session

After India lost their T20 World Cup opener against Pakistan on Sunday (October 24), India's star pacer Mohammad Shami was subjected to a fierce online attack. It was Men in Blue's first-ever loss to Pakistan in World Cup history.&nbsp;

However, from legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar to Virender Sehwag to Yuzvendra Chahal, past and present Indian cricketers condemned the targetting of Shami's religious identity by social media trolls.&nbsp;

Now, some media reports have highlighted that the troll and online abuses were created and circulated in Pakistan, and they started trending on social media forums instantly. And after probing it, one can find that the majority of tweets were posted&nbsp;by Pakistani handlers.

The question here is, was it orchestrated in Pakistan by a group of people to malign India's image? After it started trending in India - from politicians to cricketers, people in India were condemning the trolls, showing their support to Shami, but did they fall for the trap which appears to be meant to weaken the spirit of sports.

Commenting on the match during the post-match presentation, Indian skipper Virat Kohli said,&nbsp;"We didn't execute properly. Credit where it's due and Pakistan outplayed us today. They started brilliantly with the ball, and 3 wickets for 20 runs was not a good start. We needed wickets early but with the bat they gave us absolutely no chances."

"We could make the argument of getting in another slower bowler, but it's important to stay composed and understand our strengths, because with the dew the slower bowlers couldn't be effective either. This is just the first game of the tournament, not the last," he added.&nbsp;

T20 World Cup: Is Pakistan behind Mohammad Shami's targeted trolling after India's 10-wicket loss to Pakistan?

England big-hitter Dawid Malan feels Indian bowlers are subtly different from each other, making it nearly impossible for batsmen to fully get used to them.

The India pacers were better than their English counterparts in the recent intensely-fought Test series and the visitors were leading 2-1 before the fifth match was called off following multiple COVID-19 cases in the Indian camp.

Malan, who made a Test comeback in the series after three years, said the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami and Mohammed Siraj are different from each other and batsmen struggle to cope when they bowl in tandem.

"They've all been pretty tough. I think the one thing about this Indian attack is they're all slightly different. They all have different release points and different things they do with the ball, which makes it so challenging you know you can never get used to (them)," Malan told PTI in an interview.

"If you think you are getting used to one of them, they just come at you with different challenges all the time so you know it's really tough to pick them. They've all been really, really good this series," the batsman, who has pulled out of the IPL ahead of the T20 World Cup, said.

The southpaw, who lent much-needed solidity to England's struggling batting line-up, was also happy that R Ashwin was not part of the series.

"It's not because he's not a great bowler, he is a serious bowler. He is one of the best spinners that's ever played the game, but you know, it's hard for me to comment on why he wouldn't be playing," he said when asked if he was surprised about Ashwin missing all the four Tests.

"...If you look at the conditions and if you were playing two spinners he would probably be tougher (Ravindra Jadeja). I guess the captain, or the leadership of the Indian team probably had the decision to make between Jadeja or Ashwin and they went the other way.

"They led 2-1 so you know you can't really argue (with that decision). I'm quite happy as a left hander that he did not play, which is pretty good," said the world's number one T20 batsman.

Talking about his Test comeback, Malan wasn't completely satisfied with his performance though he looked assured in the middle from the word go.

"Yes and no. You know, to get a score in that first Test was good.. Disappointed not to (have) capitalised on that one to score a hundred. It was a really good batting wicket so to get out the way I did this was obviously disappointing," he said.

"And then the first innings at The Oval. To get to 30 once again on a wicket that was playing well and to get out was tough, was disappointing from my point of view. You know I've come in, I feel like I've hit the ball well I've moved well," he added.

The interaction was arranged by Gonuts which claims to be "India's largest and most influential platform for fandom and celebrity commerce."&nbsp;

As per some reports, Shami suffered a fractured arm. According to news agency ANI, Shami has been ruled out of the Test series, though an official confirmation on the same from BCCI is still awaited.

India's former skipper Sunil Gavaskar said that Shami's absence will be a big blow for Team India. “It (Shami injury) is a big problem. he has the knack of taking wickets, he can shock the opposition with his bouncers and yorkers. If he is not playing, then it’s going to be trouble for India,” Gavaskar told Sports Tak.

Gavaskar went as far as to suggest that India should immediately bring in Ishant Sharma if he is fit. “If Ishant Sharma is fit, I am suggesting to send him to Australia now. If he is capable of bowling 20 overs in a day, the management should send him to Australia on tomorrow’s flight so that he can be ready for the Sydney Test,” he said.

“I am saying India should look at taking a chance because there is no proper back-up now. Navdeep Saini has the potential to pick wickets but the way he bowled in the warm-up matches, it doesn’t look like he will be able to trouble the Australia batsmen,” he further added.

"But yes, the challenge would have been exceptional. You know, back in my day you had someone like Makhaya Ntini, who had a similar sort of angle to his delivery. So, there can be some comparisons to people I played against. I know I would not have backed away," Lara added.&nbsp;

According to Lara, Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer can be counted as the best in any era of cricket.

"Bumrah and Archer could stand up and be counted in any era of cricket. Whether they were playing in the 2000s, 90s, 80s or even the 70s, they would be up there. And I am not belittling anyone from the past. But these two would be in the echelons of fast bowling in any era I have watched, played in, or am still watching," Lara said.

Lara went on to explain, how Bumrah and Shami are successful in the longest and the shortest format. He said: "Why Bumrah and Shami are so successful is because they bowl Test match lengths in T20s. You don’t see them overdoing the slower balls. They look to hit the seam, hit the stumps. Or they try to get the edge of the bat, bowl sharp and short balls and get batsmen in trouble. So, switching to Test cricket against Australia will be a very easy task for them."&nbsp;

Former West Indies legend Brian Lara was all praise for Mumbai Indians paceman and current purple cap holder Jasprit Bumrah for his lethal bowling in this year's Indian Premier League.

Arrest warrant issued against Indian pacer Mohammad Shami in domestic violence case

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) intervened after Indian pacer Mohammad Shami's visa application was rejected by the US Embassy, a source said.&nbsp;

Shami's visa application was initially rejected by the Embassy as his police verification record was incomplete, however, the BCCI source confirmed that&nbsp;the board stepped in and took care of it.&nbsp;

"Shami's visa application was initially rejected by the US Embassy as his police verification record was incomplete. But now it's all sorted and all the required documents have been given," ANI reported quoting a BCCI source.

"BCCI CEO Rahul Johri wrote a letter to the US Embassy, saying Shami is India's top cricketer and also mentioned his contribution in cricket for the country," the source said.&nbsp;

In the recently concluded Cricket World Cup in England and Wales, Shami was in the top as he scalped 14 wickets in just four matches.&nbsp;

But before the World Cup, Shami remained in the headlines after his ex-wife Hasin Jahan accused him of domestic violence and filed an FIR against him.&nbsp;

Shami is part of India's ODIs and Tests squad for the upcoming West Indies tour, which is comprised of three T20 Internationals, three ODIs followed by two Test matches.&nbsp;

The T20Is will open the tour from August 3, the ODIs are lined up from August 8 and the Tests will take place from August 22 to September 3. &nbsp;

BCCI intervenes after US embassy rejects Mohammad Shami's visa application

Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav says <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/virat-kohlis-team-india-currently-only-unbeaten-team-in-cricket-world-cup-2019-230997">India </a>have showed they can defend relatively smaller totals with victories over West Indies and Afghanistan in the ongoing World Cup.

The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/world-cup-disappointed-on-my-conversion-rate-says-indias-kl-rahul-after-west-indies-win-231084">Indian </a>attack defended 224 against Afghanistan and 268 against West Indies on Thursday, with almost all the bowlers playing a part in these wins.

The all-round efforts show that India's bowling attack is not just about the world's number one bowler Jasprit Bumrah.

"Jasprit has been bowling really well and has been for a couple of years since his international debut," said Kuldeep, who took 1/35 including the crucial wicket of Nicholas Pooran for 28 against the West Indies.

"Then you have (Mohammed) Shami, who was only playing his second game and bowled really well. We've got a good fast bowling attack, as well as spinners. We're just looking for the team combination. We're doing really well as a bowling attack and that is important. In the last game (against Afghanistan) we defended 225 and showed we can defend a total like this," said Kuldeep.

Although the match finally turned out to be one-sided, the West Indies seemed in the hunt at the halfway stage.

Kemar Roach's three wickets had helped them put India under pressure, but <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ms-dhoni-is-legend-of-the-game-we-always-back-him-says-indian-skipper-virat-kohli-231009">Mahendra Singh Dhoni</a> (56 not out) and Hardik Pandya (46) made crucial contributions.

"We played really well. At one moment we were looking at 250 and then Mahendra and Hardik gave us a good total," Kuldeep said.

"270 was really good on this track. Later the ball was spinning a bit and that gave us momentum. Shami picking up two early wickets was huge for us, then Hardik got one and I got one so it was a really satisfying performance," added Kuldeep.

Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav says India have showed they can defend relatively smaller totals with victories over West Indies and Afghanistan in the ongoing World Cup.

Punjab's costliest buy Sam Curran proved his worth with an incredible spell at the back end as the home team pulled off a miraculous 14-run victory against Delhi Capitals left stunned by an inexplicable batting collapse in Monday's IPL encounter.

Punjab's 'million dollar man' Curran picked up 4 for 11 in 2.2 overs including a hat-trick and was ably supported by Mohammed Shami as Delhi were shot out for 152 in 19.2 overs in pursuit of 167.

From 144 for 3, Delhi lost their last seven wickets for 8 runs, something that will haunt them for days to come especially after Rishabh Pant and Colin Ingram set up what looked like an easy win.&nbsp;

Pant muscled a couple of sixes into deep mid-wicket stand during 39 off 26 balls as Ingram (38 off 29 balls) bisected the off-side field with some precision cut shots during their stand of 62 in 6.5 overs that took Capitals closer to victory.

However, there were more twists and turns than what Capitals had thought.

In a space of 9 deliveries, Delhi lost 4 wickets for only 4 runs. From 144 for 3, they were in a precarious position at 147 for 7. The ball also started reversing more and DC's lower-middle was incapable of handling the movement in the air.&nbsp;

Once Pant was bowled by Mohammed Shami and Chris Morris was needlessly run-out off the very next delivery, things started going downhill.

Curran dealt twin blows removing Ingram and Harshal Patel while Hanuma Vihari (2), a surprise selection in this format with very limited range of strokes was dismissed by Shami as the match swung in KXIP's favour. &nbsp;

Prithvi Shaw coldn't replicate his performance against KKR but Shikhar Dhawan (30 off 25 balls) and skipper Shreyas Iyer (28 off 22 balls) added 61 for the second wicket to set a platform.&nbsp;

Iyer looked a better player of the two on the day with his shot arm pull and the powerful slash over point but played away from his body off a Hardus Viljoen delivery while Dhawan padded a carrom ball from Ashwin.&nbsp;

Earlier, Chris Gayle's absence at the top of the order did have an impact as Punjab could only manage a par-score of 166 for 9 after being put into bat.

With the 'Universe Boss' ruled out due to back injury (lat strain), Punjab batsmen despite being good at times could never really take the Delhi bowling apart.

Save David Miller (43 off 30 balls) and Sarfaraz Khan (39 off 29 balls), other batsmen didn't have a good day against the trio of Chris Morris *(3/30), Kagiso Rabada (2/32) and young Sandeep Lamichhane (2/27 in 4 overs).

Morris was the pick of the bowlers, removing Punjab's last-match hero KL Rahul (15) with an inswinger as he played across the line.

Sam Curran (20, 10 balls) promoted up the order did hit a couple of lusty blows but Lamichhane got him with a flipper. Mayank Agarwal went for a non-existent single and couldn't beat Shikar Dhawan's direct throw at the non-striker's end.

Miller and Sarfaraz however didn't get bogged down as they added 62 in 6.4 overs carrying out a recovery process from 58 for three.

While Miller attacked Lamichhane hitting him for a six over long-on, Sarfaraz played his now patent "closed eyes scoop shot" over keeper's head.

But Lamicchhane had the last laugh as he edged one to Pant behind the stumps while Miller offers the Capitals skipper an easy skier trying to hit Morris out of the park.

In the end, Madeep Singh (29 no off 21 balls) took the team past 160-run mark.

In a major setback for Mohammed Shami, the Kolkata police Thursday charged the Indian pacer under IPC 498A and 354A for alleged dowry harassment and sexual harassment respectively.

After this charge sheet, Shami's World Cup campaign could be in jeopardy as the next hearing of the case has been kept on June 22, while the ICC tournament starts from May 30.

The charge sheet was filed after Shami’s estranged wife Hasin Jahan accused him of domestic violence.&nbsp;

On March 8, 2018 Jahan lodged a complaint against her husband and his elder brother Hasib Ahmad. Allegations of threat, infidelity and dowry demand were levelled against the cricketer, which the cricketer denied.&nbsp;

Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah struck thrice, in second innings, to give India its first win in the four test match series against <a href="http://www.wionews.com/sports/india-vs-australia-here-is-why-australian-players-are-wearing-black-armbands-182613">Australia on the fifth and final day </a>at Adelaide Oval.

Chasing a target of 323 runs, set by India in their second innings, Australia succumbed to the Indian bowling attack for 291runs.&nbsp;

Delivering a terrific bowling line on the final day, Bumrah dismissed settled Australian skipper Tim Paine and Shaun Marsh to bring India closer to victory.&nbsp;While Marsh departed after making 60, Paine lost his wicket to an amazing delivery after contributing 41 runs.&nbsp;

Later, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc tried to establish a partnership but were sent back after making 28 runs each.

Nathan Lyon, too, played a perfect cameo and scored unbeaten 38 runs to keep their side alive in the game. &nbsp;He was the star wicket-taker for the hosts in the second inning as the bowler clinched six wickets in 42 overs bowled.&nbsp;

Australia resumed the game at 104 for four today and lost two wickets till lunch.&nbsp;

After pacer Ishant Sharma departed Travis, Marsh along with skipper Tim Paine battled hard before Marash lost his wicket to Jasprit Bumrah.

Australia resumed the game at 104 for four today and lost two wickets till lunch. After pacer Ishant Sharma departed Travis, Marsh along with skipper Tim Paine battled hard before Marash lost his wicket to Jasprit Bumrah. On day 4 also, Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and paceman Mohammed Shami combined to tear through Australia's top order. India scored 250 runs in their first inning, with the entire credit going to the magnificent century of Cheteshwar Pujara. The right-handed batsman scored 123 runs supported by seven boundaries and two sixes. Pujara continued his form and slammed another half-century in the second inning to lift India's total. He slammed 71 runs, to become the highest individual scorer for India in both the innings to pick up the 'Man of the Match' award. Ajinkya Rahane too shed his poor form to slam a half-century. He contributed 70 runs supported by seven boundaries in his 170-ball inning. Australia, on the other hand, were all out for 235 runs in their first inning, giving India a 15-run lead. India now lead the series 1-0 and will next face the hosts in the second Test, starting Dec 14, at Perth Stadium.

Mohammad Shami's wife wants Rs 10 lakh maintenance a month

It would be first time in 10 seasons of Indian Premier League (IPL) that such an uncertainty is surrounding over players bought either at auctions or the ones retained.

In last two weeks, all eight franchises have had their ups and downs which raised eyebrows on playing chances of several players of each team.

From Delhi Daredevil's Mohammad Shami being accused of match-fixing by his estranged wife to Australian skipper Steve Smith admitting ball tampering in a Test match against South Africa, the past few days have been full of scandals and controversies.

If nothing controversial erupted, the injury entered the field and worked as a spoiler for the upcoming edition.

With a list of players being ruled out or banned for the upcoming edition, here's a list of replacement which went unsold at the IPL auctions in January. &nbsp;

Hashim Amla: With a base price of Rs 1.5 crore, Amla going unsold was almost a shocker. The South African all-rounder had a splendid year when he struck blistering tons in IPL 2017 for KXIP. &nbsp;He scored 420 runs in 10 matches at an incredible average of 60 runs and strike rate of 145.83. Despite being the sixth highest run-getter in the 10th edition Amla went unsold.&nbsp;

Alex Hales: An explosive opener is what every franchise targets while choosing players, yet, the swashbuckling English batsman, Alex Hales failed to attract any bid, even at his base price of 1 crore. Ranked eighth on ICC's current T20I batting list, Hales has career runs of 4544 at a strike-rate of 143.52.&nbsp;

Martin Guptill: IPL hasn't been the happy hunting ground for the New Zealand opener despite his strike rate in the limited-overs format of cricket. He was first in Mumbai Indians squad in 2016 and then part of KXIP in 2017 and following both seasons, his average stands at just 21 with 189 runs in a total of 10 games. But can be considered a possible replacement seeing his current form and cricketing experience. &nbsp;

Joe Root: The England Test captain wasn't shown keen interest upon because Root won't be available for the entire of the season. But his T20I stat isn't bad at all, in fact, numbers in India are applauding. In 2017, he played three T20Is against India and had averaged above 40. And then in the ICC T20 World Cup in 2016, he had amassed 249 runs striking at a rate of 146.57 which included his knock of 83 against South Africa.

Heinrich Klaasen: Klaasen was responsible for the two wins that the Proteas recorded during the limited-overs series against India, where wrist-spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal were dominated. Though his base price is not disclosed, but he is considered a possible replacement for Steve Smith.

Shaun Marsh: Kings XI Punjab showed no interest in Shaun Marsh, who helped shape their team in the last 10 years. In the last IPL season, Marsh had scored 264 runs in nine matches, including two half-centuries. The Aussie batsman had recently scored a century during the second Ashes Test against England. Despite coming up for a second time during the auction, Marsh had no takers for IPL 2018.

Lasith Malinga: Sri Lankan pacer has been an iconic player in the tournament, and has been playing for Mumbai Indians since 2009. However, the 34-year-old cricketer has been struggling with form since his ankle surgery in 2015. He was also dropped from Sri Lanka’s squad for the ODI and T20 series in India last year.

Ishant Sharma: The tall and experienced right-arm fast-medium bowler of the Indian cricket team may have found solace in the Test format of cricket, but his T20 stats still put him low in the eyes of the bidders who once again ignored his likely possibilities in the upcoming season. Despite takng wickets at several crucial moments, the Indian pacer went unsold.&nbsp;
