“’Kohli’s focus is not on numbers, but on winning matches for India’ – former RCB coach warns Kangaroos
Team India will tour Australia in November. Mike Hesson & Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) coach Mike Hesson believes that Virat Kohli is at that stage of his career where his first goal is to help India win matches rather than making personal records. The former Indian captain is going through a bad phase in Test cricket, he has not been able to register a single 50+ score in Tests this year. Since 2019, he has managed to score only two centuries in the longest format of the game. While his teammates like Steve Smith, Joe Root and Kane Williamson are making rapid progress in red-ball cricket, Kohli is struggling to live up to his standards. Mike Hesson gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli Hesson said, ‘I think Virat Kohli is at that stage of his career where he wants to win matches for India. I think it’s a dangerous transition for other teams because if they’re doing that instead of focusing on numbers, big scores will come naturally. The ability to maintain a momentum is important in Australia. For this, the batsman has to be able to counterattack and wait for the right moment to do so. 30 to 60 overs is an important phase there. If Kohli is batting at that time then he will not let the game go astray. It’s about finding the gap, playing shots in the gap. If they try the same this time too and are capable, then they can prove to be dangerous against Australia. Hesson said that despite not having any big scores against Bangladesh, Kohli looked in great form and added that he would do well against teams like New Zealand and Australia. Hesson said, ‘He was in good form and even though he did not score big against Bangladesh, he seemed to be getting into good shape. Going to Australia after playing against New Zealand would suit him as he performs well in these conditions.

There has been an increase in the ticket prices for the WTC Final and India’s Test matches at Lord’s Stadium
The ICC has announced that the final of the upcoming WTC Final (2023-25) will be played at Lord’s ground this time. Lord’s Cricket Ground (Image Credit- Twitter X) There is bad news for cricket lovers who watch test matches at Lord’s Cricket Ground, known as the ‘Home of Cricket’. Marylon Cricket Club (MCC), the organization that operates Lord’s Cricket Ground, has announced an increase in ticket rates for matches to be held at the stadium for the upcoming summer season 2025. So, after the increase in the ticket rates in the stadium, this decision of the organization is being severely criticized, because before this MCC had also increased the ticket rates of the test matches to be held on the ground against Sri Lanka and West Indies. But instead of benefiting from this, MCC suffered a loss because only 9 thousand people came to watch the match against Sri Lanka, which was less than one-third of the total capacity of the ground. However, the MCC has increased the ticket rates for the upcoming WTC final and the match to be held here during India’s tour of England next year. The organization believes that India’s tour after the Ashes series is an important tour, due to which this decision has been taken. There was a jump in the new ticket rates Let us tell you that during India’s tour of England, MCC has fixed the minimum ticket price for the match to be held at Lord’s Cricket Ground at 90 Euros, which is being criticized a lot. At the same time, the price of tickets for the main stands at the ground is between 120 Euros and 175 Euros. Apart from this, MCC has also increased the ticket price for the final match of the ongoing season of the World Test Championship (WTC) here. The price of tickets for the WTC final to be held at Lord’s has been fixed from 70 euros (6530 rupees) to 130 euros (12130 rupees). However, MCC Chief Secretary Guy Lavender has said in a recent statement that the organization is going to re-evaluate the new rates once again. (Note: 1 Euro – 93.32 Indian Rupees)

Pakistan-England Test series matches can be shifted to Sri Lanka or UAE, know the big reason?
England to tour Pakistan for a three-match Test series in October PAK vs ENG (Image Credit- Twitter X) Next month, the Pakistan cricket team is scheduled to host England in a 3-match home Test series. However, now some media reports are claiming that due to the construction work currently going on in Pakistan’s cricket stadium, the series may be shifted to Sri Lanka or UAE. It is worth noting that these three Test matches are included in the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC), which is going to be important for England along with Pakistan. The first match of this series will be played from October 7 in Multan, the second Test match in Karachi and the third Test match in Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. However, now due to the construction work going on in the stadiums of the country, due to hosting the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025, this series between Pakistan and England can be transferred to another country. At the same time, there is little chance that this series can shift to UAE, because the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 is going to be held in UAE between 3 and 20 October. Moreover, the arrival of England’s Barmy Army fan group is posing another problem, and hosting the matches without crowds is not a feasible option for the PCB. Now it will be interesting to see which venues the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) finalises for these matches. Also, after some time, PCB can share information about the new venues after talking to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). Pakistan was defeated by Bangladesh 2-0 It is worth noting that recently Pakistan has faced defeat in the two-match home Test series against Bangladesh. This is the first time in Bangladesh Test cricket history that they have won against Pakistan in a series. It will be interesting to see how the Pak team is going to perform in the upcoming Test series against England after this humiliating defeat?
