Foley further stated that Orton didn’t come close to hitting him on the eyebrow and connected on a spot just between his forehead, near the temple....

Outplayed and outclassed, Malaysia didn’t stood a chance against North Korea in the first of two matches played at I-Mobile Stadium in Buriram on Friday night. The 4-1 reverse suffered by the Malayan Tigers was a damning indictment of the difference of quality between the two sides. Eduardo ‘Nelo’ Vingada made eight changes to the team that started in the previous defeat away to Hong Kong but that did little to change the complexion of the match as North Korea proved to be the far superior side of the two....

We can only shudder when we imagine the peaks that this man will reach by the time he calls it quits. Kohli has been a batting dynamite, a man who has plundered attacks at will. And all that gets multiplied when he is presented with a target. Kohli orchestrates a chase in his own inimitable way, and he steers the game in the direction he wants. That is exactly what great players do; they make you feel that they are in complete control, and nothing is beyond them....

The Background The first of the four-Test match series against Australia began at Adelaide on December 6. With the venue being one of his favourite hunting grounds, Kohli, the highest run-getter of this year (2018), was expected to dominate the Aussie bowlers in the first innings after he opted to bat first on winning the toss....

Skipper Virat Kohli, who was at the top of the ICC ODI rankings for the batsmen even before the start of the series, gained 14 points and took himself to 887 points, equaling Sachin Tendulkar’s 887 points for the highest ODI rating points by an Indian batsman.

The last time Sri Lanka toured India, the winter of 2009, in the fourth ODI of that series, Kohli strung together a massive 224 runs partnership for the third wicket with senior Gautam Gambhir as India hunted down 316 with nearly two overs to spare. Kohli hit 107 for his first international ton and started a journey where he would smash plenty more in the times to come. Here we draw a comparison of Kohli with three other modern greats – Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and Kumar Sangakkara – to see who reached the milestone of fifty hundreds faster....

With an abysmal Test record in England - 134 runs from 5 Tests at an average of 13.40 - Kohli had a terrible time during India’s 5-Test series against England in 2014 when the visitors suffered a 3-1 series loss despite drawing the 1st Test and winning the 2nd Test at Lord’s.

Virender Sehwag was one of the most carefree and destructive batsman of his time and his daredevil attitude towards approaching the game made him different from other greats. He never seemed to care for his wicket and always backed his instincts. If the ball was in his range he would go hard at it. He had the habit of scoring centuries, double centuries and triple centuries with a six and this by itself is a huge achievement....
