Rishabh Pant confirms this star cricketer will replace Virat Kohli ahead of England series, not Karun Nair or Sai Sudharsan, his name is...

Rishabh Pant at Press Conference. (PIC - X) New Delhi: The wait is about to end. The 5 test match series between India and England will start from Friday, June 20. The first match of the series will be played at Headingley ground in Leeds. Before this match, Indian test team's vice-captain Rishabh Pant came for a press conference. In the press conference, the wicketkeeper batsman made it clear who will bat at number 4 in place of Virat Kohli. Not only this, he told about his batting position and also talked about the plane crash incident in Ahmedabad. After Virat Kohli retired from Test cricket, questions started arising as to who will bat at number 4 now. In such a situation, Pant told that captain Shubman Gill will come to bat at number 4. Pant will be seen playing at number 5. It is not yet clear who will bat at number 3. 'There are still discussions going on about who will bat at number three. Shubman will bat at number four. I will continue to bat at number five as of now,' said Pant while addressing the media. Regarding the Ahmedabad incident, the wicketkeeper batsman said, 'The whole country is disappointed, all we can do is try our best and make the country happy.' India has three options to choose from at number 3. These include Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair and Sai Sudharsan. Easwaran went to Australia with the Indian team. Karun Nair scored a brilliant double century against England Lions earlier this month. On the other hand, Sudarshan does not have enough experience. The team management can take a decision only after assessing the conditions on the match day. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul can open in the Test series. Both opened in the second unofficial Test against England Lions. During this, Rahul scored a century. Jaiswal was the highest run-scorer among Indian batsmen in the last World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. He also showed passion in the practice match. Now a good performance will be expected from him in the Test series.

"India have all bases covered...": Joe Root ahead of first Test at Leeds

London [UK], June 18 (ANI): As star England batter Joe Root gears up for an action-packed year of Test cricket featuring home series against India and an away Ashes series against Australia, the veteran said that the opportunities in front of the group are 'epic' and added that their current opponents India have 'all bases covered.' Root's first major test challenge this year would be the five-test series against India, starting on Friday in Leeds. But after that, from late November onwards, he will be featured in the away Ashes in Australia, aiming to win their first away series against arch-rivals since 2010-11. During these two series, Root, placed fifth among the highest run-getters in Tests with 13,006 runs, will continue to chase Sachin Tendulkar's all-time tally of 15,921 runs. Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of the first Test, Root said, 'You can only be excited. These are the series you play for. The opportunities in front of us are epic.' 'You know The Ashes is coming and you will be asked about it. People will be trying to relate stuff in the India series to that, but you have a job to do against a brilliant team.' 'You look at India's progression as a team across all formats, and they have all bases covered - great seam attack, talented batters and a very strong spin attack.''They are going to compete anywhere in the world, but our record at home makes for a fantastic series. We will go into it with confidence but also with a huge amount of respect for what they will bring,' he concluded. Against India in 30 Tests, he has made 2,846 runs at an average of 58.08, with 10 centuries and 11 fifties. His best score is 218. In home conditions against India, Root's batting average shoots up to 74.95. He has made 1,574 runs in 15 Tests and 25 innings, seven centuries, and five fifties. His best score is 180*. However, his record against Australia is not as impressive, having made 2,428 runs in 34 Tests and 65 innings at an average of 40.46, with four centuries and 18 fifties. In 14 Tests played in Australian conditions, this average drops to 35.68, with 890 runs scored in 27 innings, with nine fifties and no centuries. Root also reflected on his England journey so far since his debut 13 years back, saying that he wants to continue enjoying playing without any pressure of an away Ashes ton, while remembering the 'raw feeling of being 10 years old or younger - watching my dad play or being in the garage or garden with my brother.' 'I am not saying sticks in the ground with a taped-up tennis ball pretending you are at the MCG or Lord's, but waking up, opening the curtains and praying it is not raining so you can play that day and trying to harness those feelings.' 'I think how lucky I am to play for England. You play at amazing venues around the world, experiencing different cultures and everything else the sport has to offer - friendships, opportunities.' 'Trying to keep a broad mind on those things is more of a motivator than trying to plan too far ahead. Soak in and enjoy the good times,' he concluded. (ANI)

Aiden Markram Makes Huge Leap In ICC Test Batting Rankings. Two Indians In Top 10 Are...

South Africa, still basking in the glory of their World Test Championship (WTC) final triumph against Australia, saw the star-studded group soar to new heights in the latest ICC rankings. The International Cricket Council (ICC) issued the updated rankings on Wednesday, and several members of the Proteas cast jumped to new levels in the Men's Test Player Rankings. Player of the Match, Aiden Markram, jumped seven places to the 11th spot, just on the outskirts of the Top 10 rankings. A mere two points separate him from breaching the mark, with New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell occupying the 10th spot with a tally of 725. Markram dazzled with his swashbuckling display with the bat and hammered 136 runs off 207 balls to clear South Africa's route to the coveted WTC mace. Apart from his batting masterclass, Markram chipped in with the ball and snatched two priceless scalps of Steven Smith in the first and Josh Hazlewood in the second. With his impactful performance, Markram leapfrogged a whopping 44 places to move to the 65th spot. David Bedingham chipped in with handy contributions and rose to new levels in the Test rankings. In the first, he single-handedly tried to keep South Africa's innings intact with a resilient 45(111) and then finished the job with his unbeaten 21(49). As a result, he climbed 17 places to 40 alongside Australia's Cameron Green. In the Bowling Rankings, Lungi Ngidi's inspirational 3/38 spell in the second innings helped him climb seven places to 37th place with quicks Lahiru Kumara and Naseem Shah. Kagiso Rabada, who spearheaded South Africa's pace attack and returned with match figures of 9/110, maintained his position at second behind India's Jasprit Bumrah. Australia's seasoned quick Mitchell Starc and all-rounder Beau Webster benefited from their valiance in the WTC final. Starc, who scythed five wickets and struck a crucial 58*, moved to the 10th spot in the Men's Test Bowling and All-Rounders Rankings. Webster, who slammed 72(92) and emerged as Australia's top scorer in the first innings, ascended 13 places to occupy the 70th spot in the Batting Rankings.
