Watch: When Virat Kohli Gave Ollie Robinson A Taste Of His Own Medicine

England pacer Ollie Robinson has been a constant subject of chatter on social media ever since the Ashes 2023 started. His on-field duels with Usman Khawaja were well documented. Some of the words he used on the field for the Australia batter earned him plenty of flak. But, it isn't the first time Robinson is being a 'big mouth' on the field. Even during India's tour of England in 2021, the seamer had drawn flak for his antics on the field. The then-India skipper Virat Kohli even got into a verbal duel with Robinson, and fair to say that Kohli emerged victorious. During the second Test of the India tour, Kohli decided to give Robinson a taste of his own medicine. How boring was your innings? How boring was your innings? (Indicating at Robinson) - Maybe, that's how you survive in a test match," Kohli said, before adding: "Come on, big mouth (Robinson), Gonna bring your sheets today?" Here's the video: I want to see Aussies do this to Ollie R...

"Wonderful Opportunity Missed": Gavaskar On India's Test Team For WI Tour

Cheteshwar Pujara , Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami missed out as Team India named squad for the two-match Test series against West Indies, starting July 12. Jaydev Unadkat kept his spot while Delhi Capitals pacer Mukesh Kumar received his maiden India call-up. Navdeep Saini too was called into the team in the longest format. While some youngsters have been called in for the two matches, the team is more or less the same with Rohit Sharma , Shubman Gill , Virat Kohli , Ajinkya Rahane , Ravichandran Ashwin , Ravindra Jadeja , Shardul Thakur , Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel forming the core. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels that Team India has missed a "wonderful opportunity" by not giving chance to more youngsters for the Tests against West Indies. The cricket veteran suggested that the players who are certain to play ODI World Cup in October-November this year should have focussed only on playing white-ball cricket onwards. "The World Test Championship is...

"Danger Of Reducing Ashes...": England Great's Slams Ben Stokes And Co.

Former captain Geoffrey Boycott has lashed out at Ben Stokes and Co. for getting "carried away with Bazball" and not making winning a priority, adding that England are in danger of reducing the Ashes to an exhibition series. England, playing an aggressive brand of cricket under coach Brendon McCullum and skipper Stokes, were on the wrong side of the result as they suffered a two-wicket loss in the Ashes opener in Edgbaston earlier this week. "England are in danger of reducing the Ashes to an exhibition," Boycott wrote in his scathing column for 'The Telegraph'. "England have got carried away with Bazball and seem to think entertaining is more important than winning. But England supporters want one thing more than anything else -- to win the Ashes." The legendary cricketer said winning is more important than entertaining. "Scoring fast runs, whacking lots of fours and sixes is lovely. It is great. But only if England do not lose sight of the...

"To Play Against Virat Kohli": Pakistan-born USA Star On 'Ultimate Goal'

Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli remains the benchmark for many budding cricketers all across the globe. One such player is former Pakistan Under-19 batter Shayan Jahangir who is now a player for the United States of America senior cricket team. Up against Nepal in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 qualifier, Jahangir scored his maiden century in the Group A match, drawing plaudits from the cricketing spectrum. After his ton, Jahangir spoke of his ambitions of playing against none other than the great Kohli and show that there's 'another batter on the block'. Jahangir, the right-handed batter, scored an unbeaten 100-run knock off 79 balls with 10 fours and three sixes, although his knock couldn't help the American secure a victory as Nepal wrapped up a 6-wicket victory. "To play against Virat Kohli, that's my ultimate goal. Play against him, and show there's another batter on the block, waiting for the opportunities in all these big leagues," Jahangir told ...

"Forgettable Cricketer Mouth From South": Australia Great Slams Robinson

Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden has lashed out at England pacer Ollie Robinson for his antics in the first Ashes Test, which the visitors won by two wickets earlier this week, at Edgbason. Robinson hogged all the limelight for his duels with Australia centurion Usman Khawaja , especially in the first innings. After dismissing Khawaja, who had already done the damage with his 141, Robinson was seen throwing expletives towards the Australian batter. He was also seen having an exchange with the veteran opener during the second innings. In his defence, Robinson cited the examples of Ricky Ponting and other former Australian cricketers over the Khawaja sledging episode. "We've all seen Ricky Ponting and other Aussies do the same to us, and just because the shoe is on the other foot it's not received well," Robinson had said. Hayden labelled Robinson as a "forgettable cricketer", and urged the Australian batters to target him as he doesn't have pa...
