Rohit Sharma has been confirmed as an opener. He will partner Mayank Agarwal at the top of the order in the first India-South Africa Test. Wriddhiman Saha makes a comeback as first-choice wicketkeeper ahead of Rishabh Pant

Ahead of the India-South Africa first Test, Virat Kohli has made his choice of wicketkeeper between Wriddhiman Saha and Rishabh Pant

An average of 22.90 in ODIs and 21.57 in T20Is doesn't do justice to the kind of talent the flamboyant left-hander Rishabh Pant possesses and his impetuous shot selection is an indication that he is getting ahead of himself, feels the 48-year-old Lance Klusener

MS Dhoni's future in international cricket has been a subject of debate and there are enough indications that the selectors are looking ahead. Anil Kumble has expressed his opinion on Dhoni's future

 The nation rises in support of Indian scientists of ISRO and its mission Chandrayaan-2 after its plan to soft land Vikram near the moon's south pole did not go as per script.

Having won the first Test by 318 runs and collecting 60 points in the ICC World Test Championship, India are runaway favourites going into the second and final match at the Sabina Park against a team that neither showed the resolve nor the aptitude required to put up a sustained fight in five-day cricket

There was no place for MS Dhoni in the Indain T20I squad for South Africa series. Virat Kohli will lead the side while Rohit Sharma is his deputy. Dhoni had taken a break from the tour of the US and West Indies to serve in the paramilitary. However, the selectors have not included the former skipper for the home series

'Every match is crucial for me and it is not about the next six months. Everyday of my life is crucial and I want to improve both as a cricketer and as a person. That's what I am looking forward to,' Rishabh Pant said on the eve of the third and final ODI of the series against the West Indies

Since Shikhar Dhawan is not part of the Test squad, the Delhi left-hander would like to finish the Caribbean assignment on a high. There is another mini-battle brewing in the Indian batting line up for the number four slot with Shreyas Iyer putting tremendous pressure on Rishabh Pant

Shreyas Iyer, who is part of the team touring the Caribbean islands, could be in competition with the likes of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant over the next two ODIs against the West Indies. India face the hosts in the 2nd ODI on Sunday (August 11)

The 21-year-old Rishabh Pant, who is expected to be Mahendra Singh Dhoni's successor was widely criticised for his shot selection in the first two games against the West Indies but came up trumps in third T20 International with a cracking 65 not out off 42 balls in company of his skipper Virat Kohli

Chasing target of 147 on a slowish deck, skipper Virat Kohli anchored the innings to perfection with 59 off 45 balls while Rishabh Pant was brilliant during his unbeaten 65 off 42 balls. The target was achieved in 19.1 overs
