<p>Ahead of the third Test versus England, former Indian pacer RP Singh opened up on captain Rohit Sharma's form struggles. In the first two Tests, Rohit failed to get a big score and could not even cross the 50-run mark in four outings. After the opening two games, he has scores of 24, 39, 14 and 13. Thus, Singh opined on Rohit's struggles and feels the Indian captain is 'overthinking' and being 'over cautious'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talking on Cricbuzz, Singh stated, "Rohit Sharma is overthinking. He's thinking about playing a big knock, build at least two-three partnerships in the absence of other main players to take the innings forward. He's being over-cautious in trying to do that. He's not that kind of a player. His style is different. He is a free-flowing batter and that is missing. He can play his shots. An over-cautious Rohit is not good both as a batter and as a person."</p>

<p>Rohit has not looked very sure in the middle. He has got starts in every outing but failed to make the most of them, falling to both spin and pace. In the second Test in Visakhapatnam, he looked very timid and cautious in the middle, leading to his dismissal.

Thus, India need Rohit to fire on all cylinders with the series interestingly poised at 1-1 with three games to go.&nbsp;</p>

Ind vs Eng: He is overthinking, being over-cautious - Former Indian pacer on Rohit Sharma's form struggles

<p>KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) by ten runs in match 26 of IPL 2023 on Wednesday (April 19). Put into bat, LSG were slow in their approach, on a tricky two-paced wicket, to post 154 for 7 but restricted the home side for 144 for 6 to emerge on top at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur. While Rahul rotated his bowlers nicely and was praised for his captaincy, by former cricketers Shaun Pollock and Murali Karthik, he was slammed for his rusty 32-ball 39.</p>

<p>Opening the innings, Rahul and Kyle Mayers took some time to get going. While Mayers managed a 42-ball 51, Rahul was also unimpressive as he returned with 39 (32). Thus, former India pacer RP Singh opined on Rahul's sluggish knock and said 'he never used to play like this'.</p>

<p>Singh said on JioCinema, "KL Rahul never used to play like this, he used to always have a good strike rate, take the attack to the opposition and play good shots, but here he seemed to be stuck and under pressure."</p>

<p>He added, "I might be wrong, but he is probably thinking that his form might return after playing a big innings. His form is not bad, he is still playing his shots, but he is not being able to find those gaps in his shots, he should take those calculative risks which he is not taking."</p>

<p>At the post-match presentation, Rahul said, "We game in here yesterday and saw 180 would be a par score, but the first over from Boult, me and Kyle had a chat and realised this isn't a 180 wicket. The ball was keeping a bit low, so we gave ourselves time in the powerplay. Maybe if we played a bit better, we might have got 170 as well." However, he was also slammed by former India head coach Ravi Shastri for his defensive approach.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Absolutely (needs to get the strike up). All that talk about 160, I don't buy it. When you have two chances, if you convert that 39 to 60 or 70, 160 becomes 175. You need someone in the top 3 to carry on and play that long innings," Shastri told Star Sports.</p>

<p>LSG are in the second spot in the points table, with eight points from six games, and will host defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) at the&nbsp;Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Saturday afternoon (April 22).</p>

IPL 2023: KL Rahul seems to be under pressure, never used to play like this, says former India pacer

<p>The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 edition is set to commence on Friday evening (March 31) in Ahmedabad. The opening game will see the defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) take on the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium. The new season is keenly awaited as it will see the superstar cricketers light up the atmosphere as the 2023 edition marks the return of home-and-away format.</p>

<p>Over the years, the IPL has become a huge tournament. It is the most-followed T20 league, which came into existence in 2008 shortly after India's famous 2007 T20 World Cup triumph. The announcement of the league was made before the T20 WC win and since then, it has only grown leaps and bounds.&nbsp;</p>

IPL 2023: Not Zaheer or Kumble! THIS 2007 T20 WC medallist was India's first Purple Cap winner

<p>Virat Kohli's form has been a huge concern for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2022. In nine outings, the 33-year-old former RCB captain has amassed only 128 runs at a dismal average of 16. On Tuesday evening (April 26), when RCB locked horns with the Rajasthan Royals (RR), many felt Kohli would turn it around with a big knock.</p>

<p>While Kohli was involved in decision-making and was constantly talking with the bowlers during RR's innings, after they were asked to bat first in match 39 at the MCA Stadium, Pune, the veteran cricketer failed to live upto expectations with the bat. He came out to open the RCB innings along with skipper Faf du Plessis. However, he couldn't move past his barren run, returning with an unimpressive 10-ball 9.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking to Cricbuzz, former India and RCB pacer RP Singh opined on Kohli's struggles. He feels that RCB will look at resting Kohli if he flops for one or two matches. "Team management and Kohli are both trying, it is not like they are not. But he is far away from hitting good form. If he flops for one or two matches, RCB will look at resting him, give him a break," he said.</p>

IPL 2022: 'If he flops for one or two matches....' - Former India pacer opines on Virat Kohli's poor form

<p>MS Dhoni produced a masterclass finish as the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Mumbai Indians (MI) by three wickets at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai in match 33 of IPL 2022, on Thursday evening (April 21). Opting to bowl first, CSK rode on Mukesh Choudhary's 3 for 19 as they restricted the Rohit Sharma-led MI franchise for 155-7, who relied on Tilak Verma's 55* and cameos from Kieron Pollard-Jaydev Unadkat.</p>

<p>In reply, CSK's run-chase was held by Robin Uthappa (25-ball 30) and Ambati Rayudu's 35-ball 40 before they were reduced from 88/3 to 106-6. The onus was on Dwaine Pretorius (14-ball 22) and Dhoni (an unbeaten 28 off 13 balls) as CSK somehow managed to pull off a heist with a last-ball four to seal the run-chase. While Pretorius took on Jasprit Bumrah, Dhoni got his eye in and rotated strike before going berserk in the final over, off Unadkat.</p>

<p>Following yet another finishing class from Dhoni, India's former pacer RP Singh -- who was Men in Blue's leading wicket-taker in their victorious run in the 2007 T20 World Cup -- has made a special request to 'Thala' Dhoni.&nbsp;</p>

Can we request MS Dhoni to come out of retirement for T20 WC, says ex-India pacer after CSK beat MI

<p>On Wednesday (December 8), India lost one of its selfless servants Chief Defence of Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat in a tragic incident. Rawat succumbed to injuries when a Mi-17V5 chopper -- comprising him and his wife Madhulika Rawat -- crashed in Coonoor in the state of Tamil Nadu. The chopper, carrying Gen Rawat and his entourage, crashed in foggy conditions that led to the death of 13 people on board, claimed the IAF and other officials. Only one person survived the crash and is undergoing treated in a hospital.</p>

<p>Sharing the sad news with one and all, IAF said in a tweet, "With deep regret, it has now been ascertained that Gen Bipin Rawat, Mrs Madhulika Rawat and 11 other persons on board have died in the unfortunate accident." As soon as the news spread like wildfire, Indian sports personalities such as Virat Kohli, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Wasim Jaffer, Rani Rampal, Sharath Kamal and many others paid tributes and expressed their condolences on social media platform Twitter. <strong>Here's how many stars reacted:</strong></p>
