T20is  

Birthday boy Ravichandran Ashwin has so far played 65 Tests, 111 ODIs and 46 T20Is. He made his international debut in 2010. He has taken 342 Test, 150 ODI and 52 T20I wickets. He is the fastest to 300 Test wickets

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

South Africa will start their India tour with a three-match T20I series, starting with the first one in Dharamsala on September 15

South Africa are scheduled to play three T20Is and as many Tests against India. They had won the T20I and ODI series but lost the Tests during their last tour of India (2015-16)

'After representing India in T20 internationals since 2006, I wish to retire from T20Is to focus my energies on readying myself for the 2021 One Day World Cup. It remains my dream to win a World Cup for my country,' said Mithali Raj

Michael Gough and Joel Wilson have gained significant experience at the international level with Gough having officiated in nine Tests, 59 ODIs and 14 T20Is and Wilson having stood in 13 Tests, 63 ODIs and 26 T20Is. They replace retired umpire Ian Gould and S Ravi who were part of the previous panel

India captain Virat Kohli clarified on the rumours of rift between him and Rohit Sharma. Kohli was asked about it during the team's pre-departure press conference in Mumbai. India will leave for West Indies to play three T20Is, three ODIs and two Tests

Skipper Virat Kohli and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah are expected to be rested for the limited-overs leg comprising three T20Is and as many ODIs before returning for the two-Test series starting August 22. The five-day matches will be part of the inaugural World Test Championship

For T20Is, the selectors called up uncapped legspinner Mayank Markande. The 21-year-old plays for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL). India will play two T20Is and five ODIs against Australia

Chris Gayle accumulated 103 sixes from 56 matches while Martin Guptill achieved the same in 76 games. Rohit Sharma, Gayle and Guptill are the only three batsmen to hit 100 or more sixes in T20Is. Rohit is set to overtake the duo in Hamilton T20I on Sunday

With his latest three-figure score, Shane Watson became the first batsman in history to have hit a century in the Indian Premier League (IPL), BBL, and also for Australia in T20Is. He is also the oldest to score a hundred in BBL history
