England pacer Mark Wood opened up on his toughest Indian opponents, recalling why Rohit Sharma's short-ball game, Virat Kohli's fierce competitiveness, and Rishabh Pant's unpredictability made them three of the most difficult batters he has ever faced.

Smriti Mandhana said that her batting in T20Is is still a work in progress after scoring her maiden hundred in the format on June 28. Mandhana became the second Indian batter to score a T20I hundred.

Mohammed Azharuddin has jumped to the defence of Shubman Gill ,saying that the Indian Test team captain should be given a fair chance. Gill's captaincy has been criticised after India's loss in the Headingley Test.

ENG vs IND: Shubman Gill's India are looking to make a comeback in the five-match Test series after losing the opening Test at Headingley in Leeds by five wickets.

Rishabh Pant's surgeon recalled the Indian wicketkeeper's journey after his car accident in December 2022. Pant was out of the game for close to 16 months after the accident.

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has urged the team management to retain Shubman Gill as the captain of the Test team for three years, irrespective of what happens in the ongoing series against England.

Smriti Mandhana's hundred and Shree Charani's sensational bowling effort on debut helped India secure a crushing win over England in the first women's T20I on Saturday, June 28.

England vs India: During India's intense fielding drills on Monday in Birmingham, young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was a notable absentee in the slip cordon and in the gully region. The opener dropped as many as four catches in the first Test that India lost by five wickets.

ENG vs IND: Yashasvi Jaiswal can become the fastest Indian to 2000 Test runs in the second Test starting July 2 at the Edgbaston in Birmingham.

Despite Yashasvi Jaiswal's century in the Leeds Test, his fielding woes became a talking point after dropping four catches, a first for an Indian in a Test innings. An old video of him missing catches in a previous match resurfaced. However, coach Gautam Gambhir and Jasprit Bumrah defended Jaiswal, citing difficult conditions.
