[ad_1] Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir after series loss at the SCG (PC: Debasis Sen) When the wheels come off for great teams, they unravel quickly and spectacularly. It happened to Australia under Ricky Ponting, after the legends – Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist – retired en masse. It happened to Alastair Cook’s England, who won an Ashes Down Under and a Test series in India. Indian cricket had been there before, in 2011-12, on the heels of back-to-back whitewashes in England and Australia. The current streak offers a throwback. Dressing-room discord was an issue for the Indian team in Australia in 2011-12 also, with some players – Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir in particular – singing from a different hymn sheet and having issues with MS Dhoni. The latter was on the verge of losing his Test captaincy after the series, only to be saved by then BCCI president N Srinivasan. But a squad overhaul happened. Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman hung up their boots. Sachin Tendulkar would call time on his career a couple of seasons later. Sehwag would be dropped and eventually Gambhir, too, would lose his place in the team. India’s Test revival actually began in earnest when Dhoni retired mid-series in Australia in 2014-15 and Virat Kohli took over. India were ranked seventh at the time. The Kohli-and-Ravi Shastri duo would take them to the top of the tree. India became the best Test team in the world under their charge, winning matches in South Africa and England, and successive series in Australia. Gambhir is now India’s head coach and after a home series whitewash against New Zealand followed by a 3-1 defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the time has come for a rejig. A new cycle will begin from June, with a five-Test series in England, and India need to start afresh.

Moving forward, Axar Patel is going to be the team’s premier spin-bowling all-rounder. Mohammed Shami missed the Test series in Australia, for he couldn’t make a full recovery. The 34-year-old fast bowler is likely to return for the Champions Trophy, but there’s a big question mark over his red-ball future. Bigger questions involving the galacticos, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, have to be answered. There’s a school of thought that Rohit, who stood himself down in Sydney, has already played his last Test, a belligerent TV interview, rubbishing retirement rumours, notwithstanding. “I don’t see Rohit going to England,” Gilchrist said on the Club Prairie Fire podcast. In fact, the legendary former Australia wicketkeeper-batsman even suggested that the upcoming Champions Trophy could be Rohit’s last as far as international cricket is concerned. “I think he will probably have a crack at the Champions Trophy and that might be (it). That might see him out.” Rohit Sharma at the SCG (PC: Debasis Sen) According to a BCCI insider, apart from the next Test cycle, the 2027 World Cup, too, is firmly on the head coach’s mind, and a new-look side would be given enough time to bed in.

Also, notwithstanding his elongated form slump, he is the only bonafide batting great in the current Test team. Some reports suggest that the 36-year-old wants the England series in the summer to be his swansong. But Shastri believes that Kohli still has a role to play, with the Indian team heading towards transition. “So, I think the contributing factor to this team is transition and the youngsters coming through the ranks,” the former India head coach told ICC Review.

Is MS Dhoni the best Indian captain? R Ashwin has a different opinion

Mahendra Singh Dhoni left an indelible mark on Indian cricket with his more than a decade-long captaincy bringing various laurels to the team. Rather to this day, Dhoni is the sole captain of the Indian cricket team to have won all three white-ball ICC trophies. From the 2007 ICC T20 World Cup, the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, his wins spoke volumes about his…

Check Out The Three Best ODI Batsmen Of All Time

When One-Day Internationals were introduced in 1971, with matches lasting only one day, cricket's whole landscape underwent a dramatic transformation. Thousands of one-day international matches have been played during the past 52 years, and the format has undergone a number of regulatory adjustments. ODIs were originally played with 60 overs each inning, however, that was later changed to 50. The innings now consist of three powerplays with varying fielding restrictions. The free hit is another new rule for batters in the limited-over format. All of this has allowed batsmen to score large runs and made One-Day cricket more enjoyable for onlookers. Nevertheless, even with the positive adjustments, only a select few have been able to control this format. Let's examine some of the format's legends to find out what makes them the greatest at this particular game.

Sachin Tendulkar

Besides being an exceptionally gifted batsman, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar once also led the Indian cricket team at the peak of his career. For many, he is the no 1 ODI batsman in cricket history. Among the greatest hitters of all time, Sachin Tendulkar is the owner of the records for the most ODI runs, hundreds, and games played. All throughout the world, Sachin Tendulkar is revered as the cricket god after 25 years of representing his country. The 2011 Cricket World Cup triumph was the pinnacle of his illustrious and protracted cricket career. In addition, he is the only player in the world to total over 15,000 runs in One-Day Internationals. He achieved nine ODI tons in 1998, which was the most any batter has ever scored in a single year. In the same year, he scored 1894 runs, making him the batter with the most runs in a calendar year. No other batter has ever challenged Sachin Tendulkar's figures, and it doesn't appear like they will be surpassed in the upcoming years.

Kumar Sangakkara

Kumar Sangakkara is among the best wicket-keeper batsmen in history. Throughout his 15-year international cricket career, this wicket-keeping batsman scored an astounding 28,016 runs across all forms. With more than 14,000 runs, he was the second-highest run scorer in ODI cricket, only behind Sachin Tendulkar. Sangakkara became the only player in history to score four consecutive hundreds during the 2015 World Cup. In a winning cause, he has scored 18 of his hundreds. He has struck 54 half-centuries when the team has won the match. Sangakkara, who has participated in four World Cups, has scored 1532 runs in 25 innings and has an incredible average of 56.74. He also led the team to the 2011 championship match, but sadly, Sri Lanka lost to India in the final.

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, is a modern-day legend. He is a right-handed batsman who plays domestic cricket for Delhi and in the Indian Premier League for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Across all formats, Kohli has dominated the field and is a run machine. He has scored 13906 runs at an average of 58.18 in 295 ODI matches, including 50 hundreds and 72 fifties, and these figures are expected to only go up in the upcoming matches. He is widely considered to be the greatest batsman in ODI history and the finest batsman in Indian history, potentially surpassing Sachin Tendulkar in this respect. Virat Kohli has continuously scored the most runs in the history of international cricket.

R Ashwin Retires From International Cricket With Immediate Effect

Gavaskar Trophy Test: Veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his retirement from international cricket with immediate effect. Ashwin revealed his decision at the end of the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Brisbane, which ended in a draw due to rain.“This will be my last day as an Indian cricketer in all formats at the international level. I do feel there's a bit of punch left in me as a cricketer, but I would like to expose and probably showcase that in club level cricket, but this will be the last day. I've had a lot of fun. “I must say I've created a lot of memories alongside Rohit and several of my other teammates, even though I've lost some of them over the last few years. We are the last bunch of OGs, if you can say that, left out of the dressing room. I'd be marking this as my date of having played at this level,” said Ashwin in the post-match press conference. Ashwin ends his career with 537 wickets at average of 24 in 106 Tests and becoming India’s second leading wicket-taker after legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble. He also scored six Test centuries and 14 fifties with the bat. His last international game was the day-night Test in Adelaide, where he took 1-53. His retirement announcement looked imminent once TV visuals showed an emotional Ashwin being given a hug by Virat Kohli on the balcony of the dressing room during the rain delay. Ashwin also played 116 ODIs for India, taking 156 wickets, and being a member of 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy winning teams. Ashwin also played 65 T20I matches and took 72 wickets. “Obviously, there are a lot of people to thank, but I would be failing in my duties if I didn't thank the BCCI and fellow teammates, several of them. I want to name a few of them. “All the coaches who've been a part of the journey, most importantly, Rohit, Virat (Kohli), Ajinkya (Rahane), (Cheteshwar) Pujara, who've taken those spending catches around the back to give me the number of wickets I've managed to get over the years. Also, a big thank you to the Australian cricket team, who've been very fierce competitors. I've enjoyed my time playing against them,” added Ashwin. In Tests, Ashwin was one of the big figures in the Indian team’s 12-year long home domination and played a starring role in the 2020/21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy win in Australia. Ashwin was one of 11 allrounders to clinch the double of 3000 runs and 300 wickets in Tests. He also won a record 11 Player-of-the-Series awards, level with Muthiah Muralitharan. “I think it's already getting long. I wouldn't be taking any questions, but it's truly a very emotional moment. I don't think I'm in a position where I would be answering the questions in the right way, so please pardon me for that. Once again, that's my time. “Thanks for being the journalist that you've been, writing good things and, of course, writing nasty things on occasions. That's a relationship I think we would maintain forever. I hope the cricketers to come in the future will also get the same amount of love that you've given them. “I think it's already getting long. I wouldn't be taking any questions, but it's truly a very emotional moment. I don't think I'm in a position where I would be answering the questions in the right way, so please pardon me for that.

Most Runs in the World Cup

For a cricketer, there can’t be a bigger moment than representing his team in the prestigious World Cup event. The top players across the world clash against each other in an event that attracts a huge number of spectators. 

The cricket’s first World Cup was held back in 1975 in England. West Indies were the most dominant side in those years. They won consecutive titles in 1975 and 1979 before India broke their quest for a hat-trick of wins by beating them in the 1983 World Cup final. 

They etched their names in the history books by breaking numerous records on the biggest stage. Two records that always come to mind whenever you talk about the World Cup are indeed the highest run-scorer and highest wicket-taker. 

Who has scored the most runs in World Cup history?

Indian legendary batter, Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for scoring the most runs in 50-over World Cup history. Tendulkar has 2278 runs in 45 matches at an average of 56.95, including six hundreds. 

Tendulkar has, in fact, played the second most number of matches (45) in World Cup history, only behind Ricky Ponting (46). The master blaster has an outstanding record in the ODI World Cup. He made his first appearance in the 1992 World Cup, smashing three fifties in that edition. In 8 matches, Tendulkar amassed 283 runs at an average of 47.17. 

In the next edition in 1996, he took the world by storm as he smacked 523 runs in seven matches at a stellar average of 87.17. The little master hammered two fifties and three hundred in that particular edition. 

His next best World Cup edition came in the 2003 edition. Tendulkar finished with the most runs, amassing 673 runs in 11 matches at an average of 61.18. India looked like a hot favorite to win the trophy but went down to Australia in the final. 

Sachin Tendulkar’s quest to win a World Cup ended in the 2011 edition. Under the leadership of MS Dhoni, India lifted the 2011 World Cup trophy after beating Sri Lanka in the final. Sachin Tendulkar scored the second most runs in that World Cup edition, amassing 482 runs, including two hundred and as many fifties. 

Second on the list of most runs in World Cup history is India’s run-machine Virat Kohli. The former Indian captain has played 37 matches in the World Cup, smashing 1795 runs at an average of 59.83.

Famous Cricketers and Bollywood Actors Following Astrology or Numerology and Wearing Stones

Astrology and numerology have long fascinated people across the world, particularly in India, where many famous personalities—especially in the realms of cricket and Bollywood—follow these ancient practices. From career decisions to personal lives, many cricketers and Bollywood stars believe that astrology and numerology can bring them success, balance, and protection. One of the more tangible aspects of this belief is the wearing of gemstones, each of which is said to align with certain planets and energies.

Astrology and numerology are deeply intertwined with Indian culture. These practices offer guidance on everything from love and marriage to career growth and health. Many celebrities follow specific astrological charts or lucky numbers, which guide their decision-making. Additionally, gemstones—like emeralds, rubies, and blue sapphires—are worn for their perceived ability to attract positive energies and protect against misfortune.

Let’s take a closer look at some cricketers and Bollywood actors who attribute part of their success to astrology, numerology, and wearing stones.

Famous Cricketers Following Astrology and Wearing Stones

Cricketers are known for their discipline and strategy on the field, but many of them also turn to astrology and numerology for added success. Here are some prominent cricketers who believe in these ancient sciences.

Sachin Tendulkar and His Sapphire Stone

The “Master Blaster” of Indian cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, has been seen wearing a blue sapphire on his right hand. Blue sapphire is associated with the planet Saturn, which is believed to bring discipline, focus, and hard work to those who wear it. Sachin has been known for his calm demeanor and strong willpower, qualities that align well with Saturn’s influence. Many speculate that his rise to becoming one of the greatest cricketers of all time is in part due to his belief in astrology.

MS Dhoni and His Jade Bracelet

Former Indian cricket team captain MS Dhoni is another example of a cricketer who believes in the power of stones. Dhoni has been seen wearing a jade bracelet, which is believed to bring harmony, balance, and luck. Jade is known for its ability to protect against negative energies and attract positive forces. Dhoni’s calmness under pressure, especially during high-stakes matches like the 2011 World Cup final, is often attributed to this stone.

Virat Kohli and His Fascination with Numerology

While Virat Kohli doesn’t overtly talk about his reliance on astrology or numerology, it is well-known that Kohli is deeply influenced by numbers. Numerologists believe that Kohli’s birth number, 5, plays a significant role in his life. This number, ruled by Mercury, represents communication and intelligence—both traits that Kohli exhibits on and off the field. Though he may not wear gemstones as frequently as others, numerology is believed to guide many aspects of his life, including his aggressive playing style and leadership skills.

Bollywood Stars Who Follow Astrology, Numerology, and Wear Gemstones

Just like cricketers, Bollywood actors also rely on astrology and numerology to help shape their careers. In an industry where luck and timing are everything, many stars take guidance from their horoscopes and wear specific stones to harness positive energy.

Amitabh Bachchan and His Blue Sapphire

Amitabh Bachchan, one of the most revered actors in Bollywood, has openly discussed his belief in astrology and gemstones. After facing a series of financial struggles in the early 2000s, Bachchan began wearing a blue sapphire (Neelam) ring, which is associated with the planet Saturn. It is said that this stone helped turn his fortunes around. Soon after, he landed the role of the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati, which redefined his career and brought him massive success. Bachchan credits the blue sapphire for restoring his fame and wealth.

Salman Khan and His Feroza Bracelet

Salman Khan is often seen sporting a silver bracelet with a turquoise stone (Feroza). The actor has been wearing this bracelet for decades, and it has become almost synonymous with his personality. Turquoise is believed to protect against evil and negativity, while also enhancing the wearer’s creativity and communication skills. Given Salman’s long-standing career and massive fan base, many believe that his bracelet plays a part in his continued success.

Shah Rukh Khan and the Power of Numbers

Shah Rukh Khan, known as the “King of Bollywood,” has also consulted numerologists for guidance throughout his career. Shah Rukh is believed to be influenced by the number 555, which appears frequently in his life—whether it’s in his phone numbers, car plates, or even the release dates of his films. He credits his belief in lucky numbers with helping him make decisions that have led to blockbuster movies and an enduring career in Bollywood.

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Her Emerald Ring

Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of the most iconic actresses in Bollywood, has been seen wearing an emerald ring on several occasions. Emeralds are known for their association with Mercury, the planet of communication, intellect, and quick thinking. Kareena’s sharp wit and strong screen presence could be attributed to the influence of this stone, which is said to enhance creativity and bring prosperity to those who wear it.

The Science Behind Wearing Gemstones

The belief in astrology and numerology goes hand-in-hand with the wearing of gemstones, which are thought to absorb and amplify the energies of specific planets. Each stone is said to correspond to a different planet and its associated traits. For example:

• Blue Sapphire: Associated with Saturn; promotes discipline, focus, and hard work.

• Emerald: Ruled by Mercury; enhances communication, creativity, and intellect.

• Turquoise: Linked to Venus; provides protection against negativity and promotes peace.

• Ruby: Corresponds to the Sun; boosts confidence, leadership, and vitality.

• Yellow Sapphire: Related to Jupiter; attracts wealth, wisdom, and good fortune.

The choice of stone is often based on the individual’s astrological chart, which identifies which planets are most influential in their lives. Gemstones are believed to balance out the negative effects of certain planets while enhancing the positive traits of others.

Why Do Celebrities Turn to Astrology and Numerology?

It’s not surprising that so many cricketers and Bollywood actors turn to astrology, numerology, and gemstones. These fields offer guidance in industries that are notoriously unpredictable. Cricket and Bollywood are high-pressure environments where one’s career can rise or fall with a single performance, making it natural for individuals to seek out every advantage possible. Whether it’s the perceived power of gemstones or the guidance offered by numerology, these practices provide a sense of control and security in a world where success is often fleeting.

Or will the pressure of chasing a target in the fourth innings on a pitch assisting spinners become too overwhelming? On Sunday at Wankhede Stadium, the Indian team will be put to a test to answer these questions.

The visitors have pricked Indian pride by winning the first two Tests and the series. In about 90 years of history, India have never lost all matches of a series featuring three or more Tests at home. Looking at how things have panned out this time, such a possibility can’t be ruled out. They have crumbled under pressure and shown glaring signs of vulnerability against spin. As things stand, the visitors are leading by 143 runs, with one wicket standing. Their No. 10 and 11 are at the crease. By realistic estimates, India will have a target of around 160 to win. On paper, that’s doesn’t appear to be a Herculean task. This very team, in the ongoing series, made 462 and 245 in the second innings. In comparison, the projected target looks gettable. There is a massive ‘if’ though. This bunch has also shown a tendency to lose wickets in a heap when under pressure and let promising situations slip.
