<p>All-rounder Keshav Maharaj is looking at the silver lining after South Africa were humbled by a dominant India during the World Cup match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday (Nov 5).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking after the game, Maharaj said the loss was a 'blessing in disguise' for the team ahead of the crucial knockout stage.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's probably a good thing and a blessing in disguise for this team to make sure that we iron out our glitches. It's just a good eye-opener for us," the spinner said.</p>

<p>Maharaj was of the view that the law of averages had caught up with the Proteas after they had put up a string of consistent performances.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We played four good games on the bounce, so naturally there's one game that would go wrong, not to make excuses for the performance today, but I think it's a good idea and indication of what we need to do better going forward in this tournament, obviously building up towards that semifinal," Maharaj said.</p>

<p>"It's about making sure that we're practicing in the next couple of games going forward into the semi-final and rectifying it sooner rather than later," he added.</p>

World Cup 2023: Keshav Maharaj calls South Africa's loss against India a 'blessing in disguise'

<p>Cricket has myriad ways to dismiss a batter on the crease but one of the rarest forms of dismissal is the 'timed out' which has gained prominence after the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka World Cup match.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on November 6, former Sri Lankan captain Angelo Mathews was sent back to the pavilion before facing a single ball. He was timed out by the Bangladesh side and became the first player in the 146-year history of international cricket to be dismissed in such a manner.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the fall of Sadeera Samarawickrama's wicket, Mathews was ambling out to bat at no. 6. The veteran had already taken his sweet time to arrive at the crease and before he could take guard, he realised that the strap of his helmet had come loose.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Without informing the fielding side, Mathews turned towards the dugout and signalled for a replacement helmet. As Mathews waited, Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan&nbsp;appealed for a "timed out" dismissal and the umpires upheld the appeal much to Mathews' dismay.</p>

<h2><strong>What does the rule say?</strong></h2>

<p>According to the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) rule book, a timed-out dismissal is a legitimate mode of dismissal:</p>

<p>"After the fall of a wicket or the retirement of a batter, the incoming batter must, unless Time has been called, be ready to receive the ball, or for the other batter to be ready to receive the next ball within 3 minutes of the dismissal or retirement. If this requirement is not met, the incoming batter will be out, Timed out."</p>

<p>While the MCC rule states that the batter has three minutes to arrive at the crease after the previous dismissal, the World Cup tournament rule stipulates two minutes. According to rules,&nbsp;the playing conditions supersede the laws.</p>

<p>“After the fall of a wicket or the retirement of a batter, the incoming batter must, unless Time has been called, be ready to receive the ball or for the other batter to be ready to receive the next ball within 2 minutes of the dismissal or retirement. If this requirement is not met, the incoming batter will be out, Timed out,” reads the tournament playing conditions.</p>

<h2><strong>Has it happened before?&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Before Mathews' dismissal, a batter had&nbsp;been timed out only six times in any format, albeit in first-class cricket only. Andrew Jordan was the first player to be dismissed in&nbsp;this mode when he could not resume his overnight innings after failing to reach the ground as the streets had been flooded.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Other instances when timed out dismissal has been invoked:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Hemulal Yadav - Tripura vs Orissa, Cuttack (1997-98)</li>
	<li>Vasbert Drakes - Border vs Free State, East London (2002)</li>
	<li>AJ Harris -&nbsp;Nottinghamshire v Durham UCCE, Nottingham (2003)</li>
	<li>Ryan Austin -&nbsp;Combined Campuses and Colleges v Windward Islands, Kingstown (2013-14)</li>
	<li>Charles Kunje -&nbsp;Matabeleland Tuskers v Mountaineers, Bulawayo (2017)</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Any previous instances in international cricke</strong>t?</h2>

<p>The closest international cricket came to witnessing 'timed out' dismissal was during the third Test match between India and South Africa in Capetown during the 2006-07 series.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the second innings, after India lost both their openers, Sachin Tendulkar, the designated no. 4 could not stride out to bat as he had spent time off (18 minutes) the pitch&nbsp;during South Africa’s innings on day three. Tendulkar was ineligible to bat for another 18 minutes and this led to a kerfuffle in the Indian dressing room.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With VVS Laxman still in the shower, captain Sourav Ganguly found himself rushing against time to reach the popping crease. In the end, Ganguly arrived in the middle but only after a six-minute delay.</p>

<p>If it not been for South Africa’s generosity, especially captain Graeme Smith who decided against the 'timed-out' appeal, Ganguly would have become the first victim of the mode of dismissal.</p>

What is 'timed out' dismissal in cricket? Explaining everything you need to know

<p>An ageing England Team, the defending World Champions, exited the ongoing campaign following a 33-run loss against Australia in Ahmedabad. Moeen Ali, the most aged player in the star-studded side, shared his opinion on what could be the way out going forward.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ali, who was part of the 2015 CWC campaign that turned fortunes for England cricket for good, which saw them lifting the World Cup four years later, suffered a contrasting fate this time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Summarising their campaign, Ali put it in one line, saying, "Everything good comes to an end."</p>

<p>England’s 2023 title defence was in shambles despite them almost picking their best squad, barring injury exceptions. While the 36-year-old Dawid Malan was the lone centurion (against Bangladesh), the torrid form of some regular starters, including Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root and Captain Jos Buttler, led them to this point.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Disappointing runs from Livingstone (averaging 10 thus far in CWC 2023) and retiring David Willey added salt to injury, as England failed miserably to play as a unit and deliver even against the lower-ranked teams.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The return of Ben Stokes didn’t add any value to the side either, as earlier, he remained on the bench owing to a knee injury, while upon his return, he failed to put in match-winning performances.

<p>"I just think everything good comes to an end at some point. It's very exciting because going forward we've got some really good players we know will come back into the squad with that fearless [style]. That start we had in 2015 could start again," Moeen Ali said.</p>

<h2>What future holds for England’s ODI cricket?</h2>

<p>Speaking in detail about his future in the ODI format, Moeen said he’d speak with the captain and the coach.&nbsp;</p>

If they say, 'Look, we're going to go with younger players and start again' then I'm more than happy. I get it; I understand… everything good comes to an end at some point."</p>

<p>"If I was in charge, I'd play the younger guys. I'd just start again, and I'm sure they're going to do that. It's common sense, more than anything. You want that fearless approach again, and it's a great time to start again,” Ali added.</p>

Falling back to youngsters is the way out: Moeen Ali opines after ‘aged’ England exit World Cup 2023

<p>India handed South Africa their second and worst defeat in World Cup 2023, beating them by 243 runs at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday night (Nov 5). But the Proteas coach, Rob Walter, believes his team can turn the tables around if they face India again in the knockouts. While admitting to have been outplayed by a dominant Indian Team, Walter remains optimistic of his team finding rhythm leading into the semis.</p>

<p>India batted first, scoring 326 for five in 50 overs, with birthday boy Virat Kohli notching up his 49th ODI hundred – joint-most in the format’s history. Shreyas Iyer also impressed with his successive World Cup fifty, while Ravindra Jadeja’s late blitz with the bat kept India’s nose in front.</p>

<p>In the second innings, pacers struck before Jadeja sealed a comprehensive win for India with his maiden CWC five-for, becoming just the fifth Indian bowler and second left-armer after Yuvraj Singh to unlock this achievement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Heading into this top-of-the-table match, South Africa was the most destructive batting force in this tournament, up against perhaps the most sorted bowling unit in the Indian Team.

<p>"You have to believe that on the day if you execute your skills, you've also got a chance. We didn't get that right from the word go today.</p>

<p>"But you get taught new lessons every day and get surprised every day. So it wouldn't surprise me if the tables were turned the next time around. The beauty of it is that there may well be another shot for us," Walter added.</p>

<h2>Approach remains same</h2>

<p>Walter insisted that South Africa’s approach will remain the same with only one match remaining (against Afghanistan in Ahmedabad on Friday) in the league stage.</p>

<p>"As far as the next four days go, for us it's about doing what we've done the whole time, using the time available to us to get ready for the next fixture, and then it's into a semi-final. Nothing changes.</p>

<p>"The guys have worked incredibly hard on their game, and we have invested a huge amount of time into our preparation. Now it's about recovering mentally and physically and being ready to compete like we have the whole tournament,” South Africa’s head coach added.</p>

Don’t be surprised if tables are turned around next time: Walter on SA facing India in World Cup knockouts

<p>In what comes as an incident that is set to reignite the 'spirit of the cricket' debate, Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews became the first player in the 146-year history of international cricket to be 'timed out' after he took more than the stipulated time to arrive at the crease during the World Cup match against Bangladesh at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Monday (Nov 6).</p>

<p>After Sadeera Samarawickrama was caught out in the 25th over on the bowling of Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan, Angelo Mathews walked out to bat. However, prior to taking his guard at the popping crease, Mathews felt uncomfortable in his helmet and signalled to the dugout for a replacement. Replays showed that the strap of Mathews' helmet had come undone and he wanted a change.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, before the replacement helmet could arrive, Shakib turned to umpires Marais Erasmus and Richard Illingworth and complained about the situation. According to the letter of the law, the umpires considered Shakib's complaint as an appeal and after a lot of argument, ordered Matthews to return to the pavilion.</p>

<p>A disgruntled Mathews returned to the dugout, threw his helmet in disgust and held a brief chat with head coach Chris Silverwood.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What does the rule say?</strong></h2>

<p>According to the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) rule book, a timed-out dismissal is a legitimate mode of dismissal:</p>

<p>"After the fall of a wicket or the retirement of a batter, the incoming batter must, unless Time has been called, be ready to receive the ball, or for the other batter to be ready to receive the next ball within 3 minutes of the dismissal or retirement. If this requirement is not met, the incoming batter will be out, Timed out."</p>

<p>The dismissal divided the cricketing world yet again as some fans stood in Mathews' defence while others lauded the Bangladesh captain for displaying presence of mind.</p>

<p>"Can't really sympathise with Mathews here, first of all you get into the ground with faulty gear, don't bother to ensure about everything being right before entering the field, and then when spinner is bowling you don't wait for the over to get completed to change the helmet," said one user.&nbsp;</p>

In what comes as an incident that is set to reignite the 'spirit of the cricket' debate, Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews became the first player in the 146-year history of international cricket to be 'timed out' after he took more than the stipulated time to arrive at the crease during the World Cup match against Bangladesh at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Monday (Nov 6).

In what comes as an incident that is set to reignite the 'spirit of the cricket' debate, Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews became the first player in the 146-year history of international cricket to be 'timed out' after he took more than the stipulated time to arrive at the crease during the World Cup match against Bangladesh at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Monday (Nov 6). After Sadeera Samarawickrama was caught out in the 25th over on the bowling of Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan, Angelo Mathews walked out to bat. However, prior to taking his guard at the popping crease, Mathews felt uncomfortable in his helmet and signalled to the dugout for a replacement. Replays showed that the strap of Mathews' helmet had come undone and he wanted a change. However, before the replacement helmet could arrive, Shakib turned to umpires Marais Erasmus and Richard Illingworth and complained about the situation. According to the letter of the law, the umpires considered Shakib's complaint as an appeal and after a lot of argument, ordered Matthews to return to the pavilion. A disgruntled Mathews returned to the dugout, threw his helmet in disgust and held a brief chat with head coach Chris Silverwood.

World Cup 2023: Angelo Mathews becomes first player to be 'timed out' in international cricket - WATCH

<p>Delhi’s ‘severe’ air quality might be a worrying sign for the locals, but cricket fans are eager to step out&nbsp;for match 38 of World Cup 2023 between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Two teams out of contention for the semis spot still have a lot to play for as the fag end of the tournament approaches. Here is the match preview and result prediction of the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka World Cup 2023 match.</p>

<h2>Tigers seek light at the end of the tunnel</h2>

<p>Bangladesh was the first team to get eliminated from the World Cup 2023 owing to their dismal show, with only one win from seven matches. Outside of their mediocre performances on the field, controversies off it caused more unrest in the dressing room, which was reflected in the side’s approach throughout.</p>

<p>With just two matches left, Bangladesh will at least aim to finish the tournament on a high by winning both. Though their CWC hopes got dashed earlier, they still have a spot in the Champions Trophy 2025 to fight, for which they need to finish inside the top eight by the end of group stages.</p>

<p>Against Sri Lanka in Delhi, Bangladesh will fancy their chances, considering the conditions suit their style of play. Clicking as a unit must be Bangladesh’s priority heading into this match.</p>

<h3>Sri Lanka to bury India's nightmare</h3>

<p>Coming off from their worst-ever performance at the World Cup stage against India, Sri Lanka would find it hard to lift the spirits, but they have to in Monday’s game against Bangladesh.</p>

<p>Although, alongside Bangladesh, they cancelled their training session due to ‘severe’ air quality in Delhi, Sri Lanka has to find some rhythm to ensure they finish inside the top eight in this World Cup. The former champions have had a rough run throughout, winning just two out of seven contested matches thus far.</p>

<h3>Result Prediction –</h3>

<p>Although Bangladesh will be upbeat about going for the win in Delhi, Sri Lanka will walk into this contest as favourites.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Predicted XIs of both teams –</strong></p>

<p><strong>Bangladesh -</strong> Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Towhid Hridoy, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam</p>

<p><strong>Sri Lanka -</strong> Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis (c &amp; wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, Maheesh Theekshana, Kasun Rajitha, Dushmantha Chameera and Dilshan Madushanka</p>

World Cup 2023, Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka – Match preview and result prediction

<p>Compounding Australia's selection problems, cricketer Steve Smith has revealed that he is battling another bout of vertigo ahead of the crucial World Cup encounter against Afghanistan. The Australian star said he had been experiencing the symptoms for the last couple of days.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On the eve of the match, Smith gave several media interviews despite his obvious discomfort and hoped to be fit in time for the match.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I’ve had a bit of vertigo stuff the last day or so...not feeling great. It’s just been a bit annoying, so hopefully I can get through training today and be all good. It’s not a nice place to be," said Smith.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Not the first time&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>This is not the first instance when Smith has faced difficulties due to vertigo. In November 2020,&nbsp;he nearly missed Australia's ODI against India due to an extreme bout of vertigo. Last year, the symptoms re-emerged following&nbsp;a concussion scare during a T20 match against Sri Lanka at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I’ve had a few episodes, so I can tell you it’s not the funnest space to be in. I’ll go out and have a hit and hopefully be okay. We’ll see how we go," added Smith.&nbsp;</p>

Compounding Australia's selection problems, cricketer Steve Smith has revealed that he is battling another bout of vertigo ahead of the crucial World Cup encounter against Afghanistan.

Compounding Australia's selection problems, cricketer Steve Smith has revealed that he is battling another bout of vertigo ahead of the crucial World Cup encounter against Afghanistan. The Australian star said he had been experiencing the symptoms for the last couple of days. On the eve of the match, Smith gave several media interviews despite his obvious discomfort and hoped to be fit in time for the match. “I’ve had a bit of vertigo stuff the last day or so...not feeling great. It’s just been a bit annoying, so hopefully I can get through training today and be all good. It’s not a nice place to be," said Smith. Not the first time This is not the first instance when Smith has faced difficulties due to vertigo. In November 2020, he nearly missed Australia's ODI against India due to an extreme bout of vertigo. Last year, the symptoms re-emerged following a concussion scare during a T20 match against Sri Lanka at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). “I’ve had a few episodes, so I can tell you it’s not the funnest space to be in. I’ll go out and have a hit and hopefully be okay. We’ll see how we go," added Smith. Despite Smith's lacklustre form at the World Cup so far, the management would hope that the batter regains full fitness and stars in the playing XI. The match is scheduled to take place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium known for high-scoring encounters. Australia need a victory to secure a top-4 spot but Afghanistan, in the subcontinent conditions may not be an easy opponent.

World Cup 2023: Selection conundrum for Australia as Steve Smith battles vertigo ahead of Afghanistan clash

<p>Regarded as the best outfielder of modern-day cricket, India’s Ravindra Jadeja has said he does not take anything for granted, especially his fielding.</p>

<p>"Fielding I never take for granted. I still feel I can drop a catch. I am always prepared on the field. I never relax. And that's all: I keep trying to do my best," Jadeja said after his match-winning performance against South Africa in World Cup 2023.</p>

World Cup - I don't take my fielding for granted, I never relax: Jadeja after Eden heroics against Proteas

<p>Ahead of Monday’s World Cup 2023 fixture in Delhi between two Asian giants, Sri Lanka’s Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe suspended the Cricket Board over allegations of widespread corruption within the board and the team’s dismal show in the ongoing tournament. Ranasinghe appointed a seven-member interim committee to run operations and handpicked CWC-winning captain Arjuna Ranatunga as the head. The committee would include a former Supreme Court judge and an ex-board president.</p>

SL veteran to chair interim committee after ministry suspends cricket board over dismal World Cup show

<p>Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin&nbsp;Tendulkar&nbsp;congratulated Virat Kohli after the latter equalled his record for the most ODI centuries. Tendulkar took to his social media handles to post a congratulatory message for Kohli and urged him to eclipse the record quickly.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohli reached his 49th ODI century in front of a boisterous 70,000 Eden Gardens crowd against South Africa in the penultimate league match at the ongoing World Cup.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Well played Virat. It took me 365 days to go from 49 to 50 earlier this year," posted Tendulkar on X, formerly known as Twitter.</p>

<p>"I hope you go from 49 to 50 and break my record in the next few days. Congratulations!!" he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Tendulkar reached the milestone in 452 innings, Kohli obliterated it by almost half, achieving it in 277 innings.</p>

<p>Notably, over a&nbsp;decade ago, it was Tendulkar who predicted that if there was anyone who could break his records, it would either be Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma.</p>

<p>During a felicitation ceremony hosted by industrialist Mukesh Ambani in 2012, Tendulkar was quizzed if anyone would&nbsp;conquer his 100 international tons record.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I can see those youngsters. Virat and Rohit are the ones. As long as an Indian breaks it, I don't mind," said Tendulkar at the time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Kohli is far from achieving the 100 tons record, he is on the precipice of eclipsing Tendulkar in the ODI format and the prophecy made by the Master Blaster remains true. Kohli is currently on 79 international centuries and if he continues for another couple of years, might be able to achieve the feat as well.&nbsp;</p>

World Cup 2023: 'I hope you...', Sachin Tendulkar reacts after Virat Kohli equals his ODI centuries record

Defending Champions England have officially been knocked out of the ICC ODI World Cup. The three lions were shown the exit door by rivals Australia who registered their fifth straight win. Adam Zampa once again starred with the ball and was adjudged the player of the match. 1996 World Cup-winning coach Dav Whatmore reviews the match with Wion's Esha Hanspal.

India is unstoppable at the ODI World Cup as the men in blue hammer South Africa by 243 runs in a top-of-the-table clash to extend their winning streak to eight matches. Virat Kohli scored his 49th ODI Century on his 35th birthday and equalled the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.

ODI WC: India thrash South Africa by 243 runs in a top-of-the-table clash

The Indian Cricket team has been unstoppable at the ICC World Cup with eight wins in eight matches so far. India is guaranteed to finish top of the table following the group stage and the first phase of the tournament ends on November 12 with India taking on the Netherlands in Bengaluru. India's rotation policy leading up to the World Cup has been spot on with key players fresh and ready to go. Is it time for the team management to give the team a break and rest Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah for the final game? 1996 World Cup-winning coach Dav Whatmore certainly thinks so.

ODI WC: Should India rest Kohli & Rohit for the Netherlands game?

South Africa's bid to win a first-ever World Cup is on shaky ground after an absolute mauling against India. The hosts went out of their comfort zone by batting first in Kolkata and challenged South Africa's mighty batting unit to come up with the goods while chasing. India's bowlers opened old wounds as the Proteas mentally disintegrated in the face of an extremely challenging target and some tight bowling. 1996 World Cup-winning coach Dav Whatmore believes South Africa's approach was completely wrong with no batter showing any sort of intent.

ODI WC: Why do South Africa choke during run chases?

Hosts India are marching towards a third world title with South Africa brushed aside with ease in Kolkata. India's bowling unit once again strangled the opposition with Ravindra Jadeja the pick of the bowlers with a maiden five-wicket haul in World Cups. India have shown faith in five frontline bowlers after the injury to Hardik Pandya and it is time to ask the big question. Is this India's best bowling attack of all time? 1996 World Cup-winning coach Dav Whatmore thinks so.

Virat Kohli has equaled Sachin Tendulkar's mark of 49 ODI centuries after a battling 101* against South Africa in Kolkata. Tendulkar got to the mark in his 451st innings while Kohli has reached the mark in 175 fewer innings. Kohli got to the mark on his 35th birthday and 1996 World Cup-winning coach Dav Whatmore believes this was one of his better hundreds considering the tricky nature of the Eden Gardens pitch.

ODI WC: Kohli equals Tendulkar's mark of 49 ODI centuries

<p>Virat Kohli entered history books with his record-equalling 49th ODI hundred on his birthday at the Eden Gardens, as his unbeaten 101 off 121 balls helped India put up a fighting 326 for five on the board in the first innings.</p>

<p>After electing to bat first in Kolkata, the Indian openers went berserk, with captain Rohit Sharma being the aggressor of the two. Both right-handed batters let loose in the first five overs, helping India cross the 50-run mark. Even though Proteas pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada dismissed Rohit caught on 40, India’s scorecard after the end of the first ten overs read 91 for one.</p>

<p>Left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj dismissed Shubman Gill, clean bowled off a Jaffa to silence the crowd in the next over.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Courtesy of tight bowling, South Africa conceded just 33 runs in the next ten overs as the batting pair of birthday boy Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer struggled to get going. After Keshav completed his quota of ten overs, both batters opened their arms.</p>

<p>Iyer and Kohli hit their respective fifties, taking the seam attack to the cleaners, especially Jansen.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Virat Kohli scripted history in front of a packed 70,000 Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday (Nov 5) evening by smashing his 49th ODI century, equalling Sachin Tendulkar's long-standing record. Kohli's century meant that India posted a 327-run target on a challenging pitch where stroke-making was difficult and batters had to dig deep to score runs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The milestone was made all the more sweeter as it came on Kohli's 35th birthday and after missing out on a century on the last two occasions. Fans on social media labelled Kohli as the greatest of all time (GOAT) as he cemented his legacy for the ages.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Virat Kohli scripted history in front of a packed 70,000 Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday (Nov 5) evening by smashing his 49th ODI century, equalling Sachin Tendulkar's long-standing record.

Virat Kohli scripted history in front of a packed 70,000 Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday (Nov 5) evening by smashing his 49th ODI century, equalling Sachin Tendulkar's long-standing record. Kohli's century meant that India posted a 327-run target on a challenging pitch where stroke-making was difficult and batters had to dig deep to score runs. The milestone was made all the more sweeter as it came on Kohli's 35th birthday and after missing out on a century on the last two occasions. Fans on social media labelled Kohli as the greatest of all time (GOAT) as he cemented his legacy for the ages. Legacy cemented: Century No 49 on his 35th birthday for Virat Kohli to draw level with the great Sachin Tendulkar.

World Cup 2023: 'GOAT legacy cemented' - Fans erupt as Virat Kohli equals Tendulkar's ODI centuries' record

<p>It required perhaps the ‘ball of the tournament’ thus far from South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj to dismiss India opener Shubman Gill in the ongoing high-octane World Cup clash at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday. With India on top, having scored more than 90 despite losing captain Rohit Sharma, Keshav, in his first over, bowled a jaffa to stun the 60,000-plus crowd and clean bowled&nbsp;Gill.</p>

<p>The unplayable delivery ball, pitched on the middle-leg stump, turned square, removed the bails from the off stump.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Such was the surprising factor that India waited for the replays to confirm the ball did hit the wickets, and it was not Quinton de Kock’s gloved that removed the bails.</p>

<h2>Proteas put brakes on India’s innings</h2>

<p>Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first at his favourite venue. The Indian openers began blazingly, smashing seamers Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen to all parts of the ground. With the crowd right behind the Indian Team in this top-of-the-table clash, Rohit and Gill opened their arms, with the Indian captain taking the lead.</p>

<p>Making the most of the excellent start, Rohit smashed everyone left, right and centre, and as he got close to yet another fifty in this tournament, he got caught at mid-of off Kagiso Rabada on 40 off 24 balls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Walked in next was the birthday boy and modern-day game’s greatest batter, Virat Kohli. Alongside Gill, who continued finding gaps, Kohli opened his arms, much to everyone’s cheers. With seamers bowling inside the first ten overs, India managed 91 for one.</p>

<h3>Maharaj’s introduction broke the stand</h3>

<p>Maharaj was introduced in the 11th over and he soon provided South Africa a big breakthrough&nbsp;as he clean bowled Gill on 23. That, however, came as a boost for South Africa, who, in the next ten overs, conceded just 33 runs, putting brakes on the accelerating Indian innings.</p>


It required perhaps the ‘ball of the tournament’ thus far from South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj to dismiss India opener Shubman Gill in the ongoing high-octane World Cup clash at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday.

Such was the surprising factor that India waited for the replays to confirm the ball did hit the wickets, and it was not Quinton de Kock’s gloved that removed the bails. Watch the video here – View this post on Instagram A post shared by ICC (@icc) × Proteas put brakes on India’s innings Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first at his favourite venue. The Indian openers began blazingly, smashing seamers Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen to all parts of the ground. With the crowd right behind the Indian Team in this top-of-the-table clash, Rohit and Gill opened their arms, with the Indian captain taking the lead. Making the most of the excellent start, Rohit smashed everyone left, right and centre, and as he got close to yet another fifty in this tournament, he got caught at mid-of off Kagiso Rabada on 40 off 24 balls. Walked in next was the birthday boy and modern-day game’s greatest batter, Virat Kohli. Alongside Gill, who continued finding gaps, Kohli opened his arms, much to everyone’s cheers. With seamers bowling inside the first ten overs, India managed 91 for one. Maharaj’s introduction broke the stand Maharaj was introduced in the 11th over and he soon provided South Africa a big breakthrough as he clean bowled Gill on 23. That, however, came as a boost for South Africa, who, in the next ten overs, conceded just 33 runs, putting brakes on the accelerating Indian innings.

<p>Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh has admitted that he and MS Dhoni were 'never close friends' despite sharing the dressing room for several years. According to Yuvraj, the pair never struck a close bond due to their different lifestyles away from&nbsp;the ground.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Yuvraj was a key part of the 2007 and 2011 World Cup-winning side with Dhoni captaining him on both occasions. Over the years, much has been said about Yuvraj and Dhoni's friendship but it was the first time that any of the two had spoken about their relationship.</p>

<p>“Me and Mahi are not close friends. We were friends because of cricket, we played together. Mahi’s lifestyle was very different from me, so we were never close friends, we were only friends because of cricket," Yuvraj said on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast show<em>.&nbsp;</em></p>

<p>Yuvraj, who was the player of the tournament when India won the 2011 World Cup, said despite not being close friends, he and Mahi "gave more than 100 per cent" to the country whenever on the ground. However, the stylish all-rounder added that even then, the pair had their share of differences.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"He was captain, I was vice-captain. When I came into the team, I was 4 years junior. When you are captain and vice-captain, there will be decision differences,” Yuvraj said</p>

<p>“Sometimes he made decisions I didn’t like, sometimes I made decisions he didn’t like. That happens in every team,” he added.</p>

<h2><strong>Dhoni&nbsp;provided&nbsp;clear picture to Yuvraj&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Yuvraj played a pivotal part in India winning the 2011 World Cup despite suffering from cancer during the tournament. The allrounder had to take a sabbatical from cricket after the marquee event to undergo cancer treatment, including chemotherapy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He made his comeback a year later and went on to play for another seven years before retiring in 2019 from all forms of cricket. Yuvraj revealed that it was Dhoni who provided him the truth when he needed it the most.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"When I was at the end of my career, when I wasn't getting the right picture about my career, I asked him for advice. He was the guy who told me that the selection committee is not looking you right now. I was like, at least I got to know the real picture. This is just before 2019 World Cup. That is the reality," said Yuvraj.</p>

<p>Australia spinner Adam Zampa had an outing to remember against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, scoring 29 runs, and picking three wickets besides grabbing one catch. The leg-spinner, as things stand, is the highest wicket-taker thus far (19 wickets from seven matches) in the World Cup 2023, and following helping Australia inch closer to semis qualification with a 33-run win, called this game the ‘most satisfying ODI he’s ever played.</p>

<p>While his handy contribution with the bat in the end helped Australia go past 280, Zampa’s three-wicket haul, including wickets of Stokes and Buttler, put England on the mat during the run chase that got tensed in the end.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Indian Captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first in the top-of-the-table clash against South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

<p>Fakhar Zaman’s unbeaten 126 off 81 balls was enough for Pakistan to stay ahead of the DLS par-score, as they beat New Zealand by 21 runs&nbsp;on Saturday, keeping themselves alive in the World Cup semis race.

<p>With their chances of qualifying for the top four hanging by a thin thread, Pakistan needed a statement-win against the Kiwis to press their case for the same.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Having conceded over 400 runs for the first time in this World Cup, the Men in Green was up for a gigantic run-chase and brought their A-game when needed.

<p>England captain Jos Buttler said the defeat against Australia at the ongoing World Cup in India was a low point in his captaincy. England crashed out of the tournament after succumbing to a sixth loss&nbsp;as Australia won the match by 33 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday (Nov 4) evening.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking at the post-match conference, Buttler wore a dejected look and said he was disappointed due to the loss.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Disappointment, we are having the same chat after the match. Improvements today, more with the bat, but we were still well short, no complaints if you lose by 30 runs," said Buttler.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Certainly low point, definitely as a captain to be stood in this position, had high hopes but incredibly disappointing, hurts a lot. We certainly haven't done ourselves enough justice, coming into the tournament, we fancied ourselves to do well to go all the way, there's so much hard work but we let ourselves down and people back home," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Buttler said his poor form with the bat was one of the reasons why England struggled in the tournament.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I haven't played as well as I can, in such a pivotal position, I think I let myself and my team down. Only way to come back is to put in the hard yards at the nets and come back better in the next game."&nbsp;</p>

World Cup 2023: 'Hurts a lot,' says captain Jos Buttler as champions England crash out of tournament

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidMSgtEEzqJugZ" /><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p>England exited the ODI World Cup 2023 with a whimper as arch-rivals Australia came out trumps against the defending champions by 33 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday (Nov 4) evening. Chasing a challenging target of 287, the English side never looked in contention and succumbed, courtesy of a disciplined bowling effort from the Australians, led by Adam Zampa.&nbsp;</p>

<p>England had a horror start to the chase as Jonny Bairstow departed for&nbsp;a nought on the first delivery from Mitchell Starc. The left-arm seamer darted a loosener down the leg and Bairstow gifted a tickle which was gleefully accepted by Josh Inglis with his big mitts, behind the sticks.</p>

<p>Bairstow's dismissal was emblematic of the kind of tournament England have had where they often find themselves struggling, even before the competition has started to simmer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In at no. 3 and entrusted with the opportunity to steer the tottering ship, Joe Root failed for the umpteenth time in the tournament and could not last beyond the first powerplay.</p>

<p>Captain Jos Buttler's poor run of form continued and he departed while attempting to up the ante. Adil Rashid and Chris Woakes did hit a few big ones at the back end but the Australians came up with answers quickly to shut down the window of opportunity.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zampa was exceptional as he finished off his 10 overs quota with envious figures of 10-0-21-3 and took a brilliant catch in the deep to guide Australia to another victory, their fifth on the trot this World Cup.</p>

<h2><strong>Australia crawl to a challenging total&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>After winning the toss, England captain Jos Buttler opted to bowl first on a pitch that was slightly two-paced. The decision seemingly paid off as the Australian openers, for the rare occasion in this tournament, departed without adding much to the score.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chris Woakes and David Willey hit the right areas from the get-go in the powerplay and the former used that to snap the wickets of both openers. Travis Head fell in the second over, miscuing a guide to third man while an in-form Warner was outfoxed by a brilliant off-cutter from the pacer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne stitched a healthy partnership to bring Australia back into the contest before Adil Rashid challenged Smith to go down and pay the heavy price for it. In the end, Englnd did well to apply a chokehold on the Australian batting lineup. If it wasn't for a 10-ball 29-run cameo from Zampa at the death, the five-time champions wouldn't have reached the 280-run mark.</p>

<p>With England down and out from the semis race, a campaign even Ben Stokes called ‘crap’ during the pre-match presser, a win over Australia would come as a silver lining for them.

<p>Although they have just pride to play for, England must return to playing with the template that got them this far since the 2015 CWC debacle.&nbsp;<br />
Jos Buttler hasn’t been among runs, and this is the best chance for him to get back to scoring daddy hundreds like he used to do.</p>

<h3>Australia eye big win in Ahmedabad</h3>

<p>Australia wants to win their remaining matches to ensure they are finishing in the top two, giving them the best chance to chase World Cup glory for the record sixth time.</p>

<p>With two of their star all-rounders – Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh, out of this match for respective reasons, Australia might play both Marcus Stoinis and Cameron Green.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Travis Head and David Warner will again aim for the century-plus stand and provide the middle-order with the chance to make the most of it.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the bowling has been top-notch thus far, and captain Cummins will aim to continue putting in hard yards for better results.</p>

<p><strong>Result Prediction -</strong></p>

<p>Days of England causing an upset are over as Australia will enter this contest as hot favourites.</p>

<p><strong>Predicted XIs of both teams –</strong></p>
