Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have gotten some advice after their failure on their ODI comeback. Rohit’s fitness regimen for weight loss has been revealed. India women choked against England. Shubman Gill has matched an unwanted record of Kohli. Pakistan might have a new ODI captain. Zimbabwe has replaced Afghanistan in Pakistan’s tri-series.
Dhoni, Ro-Ko
After Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli registered single-digit scores (8 and 0) on their ODI comeback, Varun Aaron urged the modern greats to follow MS Dhoni’s path. What their former Indian teammate meant was that Rohit and Kohli should play domestic cricket, just like Dhoni did after he retired from Test cricket.
Rohit fitness
Abhishek Nayar has revealed the fitness regime Rohit Sharma underwent to lose 10 kg before the India vs Australia ODI series. The former India assistant coach explained how Rohit trained like a bodybuilder, stopped eating his favourite food like vadapav and did 800 reps for every body part.
India women
India has put their quarterfinal qualification in the Women’s ODI World Cup in jeopardy after failing to chase down 55 in 54 with 7 wickets in hand. Chasing 289, India was in total control but lost despite two all-rounders batting in the end. Now, New Zealand has a chance to seal the last spot.

captaincy debut
Shubman Gill has matched Virat Kohli’s record as India captain. Unfortunately, it’s not a record he’ll want to have. After losing the Perth ODI, Gill has become the second captain to lose the first match he leads in all formats. Kohli, who’s called King, did so in 2017, and 8 years later, Gill, known as the Prince, has done it as well.
Pakistan ODI captain
Mohammad Rizwan might be replaced as Pakistan’s ODI captain. After Men in Green’s performance in the Champions Trophy, the PCB wants to move on from Rizwan. The 3 players in the running to replace him as Pakistan’s ODI captain are Salman Ali Agha, Babar Azam, and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
Zimbabwe-Afghanistan
The PCB has replaced Afghanistan with Zimbabwe for their upcoming tri-series with Sri Lanka. In the aftermath of rising tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which saw 3 domestic Afghan cricketers lose their lives, the ACB pulled out of the tri-series, which begins on November 19.
