Day 2 of the 4th Test in Ahmedabad could have very easily belonged to England had Rishabh Pant not turned the tide against the visitors. Resuming at 24/1, India had a top-order collapse as Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane fell quickly, leaving India in a vulnerable position at 80/4. Rohit Sharma continued to fight but was dismissed for a hard-fought 49. Pant then changed the complexion of the game with his 3rd Test ton. He was well supported by Washington Sundar, who too brought up his half-century. Pant got out for 101 but Sundar's unbeaten 60 helped India end day 2 in command at 294/7, leading England by 89 runs.&nbsp;

India Vs England 2021: Rishabh Pant tames the 3 Lions with his 3rd overall and 1st Test hundred on home soil.

The pitch at the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/ahmedabad-s-motera-stadium-10-things-you-should-know-1614078140350">Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium</a> was proving tough to bat on as only 1 batsman managed a half-century from Indian and English camps combined. But it all changed the moment Rishabh Pant walked out to bat.
The Delhi lad tamed the 3 Lions with shots all over the ground and smashed his 3rd overall and 1st Test hundred on home soil with a six.&nbsp;
He was cautious to start with and brought up his half-century in 82 balls. But once Rohit Sharma fell, Pant cut loose and smashed next 50 runs in just 33 deliveries.
Interestingly, since his Test debut back in August 2018, no other batsman has notched up scores of over 90 more times than Pant.
Though he eventually got out on 101, but Pant is now the&nbsp;2nd highest run-scorer in Tests in 2020, just behind Joe Root.&nbsp;

South African cricket board has appointed Temba Bavuma as the new captain of the national ODI & T20 cricket teams.

South African cricket board has appointed Temba&nbsp;Bavuma&nbsp;as the new captain of the national&nbsp;ODI&nbsp;&amp; T20 cricket teams. Bavuma&nbsp;is now the first black captain in the history of South African cricket. Calling it a deeply significant moment, Bavuma&nbsp;said that he&nbsp;was determined to do justice to the job as both captain and player.
Bavuma&nbsp;replaces Quinton de Kock&nbsp;as the captain who has been given a mental health break by the board after a poor run as both a player and captain of the side. Dean Elgar meanwhile has been appointed as the leader of the Test team.&nbsp;

Kohli, who has gone 12 innings without a ton in Tests, now has the most number of ducks in the World Test Championship.

Virat Kohli has made it a habit of equalling <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/watch-dhoni-arrives-in-chennai-to-prepare-for-ipl-2021-1614832093337" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni's</a> records if not breaking them. During the 4th Test in Ahmedabad, the Delhi lad matched yet another MSD&nbsp;record, but he won't be proud of it this time around.&nbsp;
Kohli&nbsp;was out for his 8th duck as Indian captain in the first innings, equalling Dhoni's&nbsp;unwanted record. Both now hold the record for the most number of ducks by an India skipper. Interestingly, this is the second time Virat&nbsp;has been dismissed for a duck twice in a series.
The last time it happened was also against the 3 Lions, during the infamous 2014 tour. Kohli, who has gone 12 innings without a ton in Tests,&nbsp;now has the most number of ducks in the World Test Championship.
Having failed to open his account on 4 occasions during that period.

India Vs England 4th Test: Axar Patel picked 4 wickets as England were 205 all out in 1st innings after opting to bat first.

Yet another Test and once again England were caught in a web of spin in Ahmedabad. Joe Root's decision to bat first looked to be the right call before their top order failed and the visitors were reduced to 30/3.
Ben Stokes tried to steady the ship with a half-century but his innings was too cut short on 55. Axar picked 4 wickets and Ashwin bagged 3 as England were bowled out for 205 in the 1st innings.
India had a shaky response as Shubman Gill was dismissed for a duck. Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara looked comfortable though as the hosts ended opening day at 24/1, trailing England by 181 runs.

After getting bowled out twice in less than 80 overs&nbsp;in the 3rd Test, former English cricketers like Michael Vaughan and Kevin Pietersen complained about the standards of the strip at Motera. Just a week later the English team despite playing 8 batsmen were punched out for 205 on the first day itself of the 4th Test. With the wicket offering assistance to the spinners much later in the day, fast bowler Mohammed&nbsp;Siraj&nbsp;too took 2 wickets as most English batsmen threw away their wickets. Axar Patel was once again the destroyer in chief with 4 wickets and Ashwin&nbsp;picked up 3 despite coming a bit late to the party. With the performance of England in the first innings, there was an eerie silence on the&nbsp;social media accounts of those who were complaining earlier.&nbsp;

After 3 more positive Covid-19 results, the decision to halt the current edition of PSL was made following a virtual meeting on Thursday.

The ongoing 2021 edition of the Pakistan Super League&nbsp;has been postponed indefinitely as&nbsp;3 more players from two different teams tested positive for Covid-19.&nbsp;Though the official release didn't name the individuals returning positive tests, it stated that neither of them were&nbsp;part of the double-header games on Wednesday. Reportedly,&nbsp;England batsman Tom Banton is one of three to test positive.&nbsp;Karachi Kings too confirmed that their fielding coach Kamran Khan is also one of those 3. The three will now self-isolate for a period of 10 days. A PSL&nbsp;game was postponed after Islamabad United's Fawad Ahmed tested positive on March 1 and the decision to halt the current edition was made following&nbsp;a&nbsp;virtual meeting on Thursday.

Akila&nbsp;Dananjaya&nbsp;had a rollercoaster of an evening in the 1st T20 vs West Indies in Antigua. The Sri&nbsp;Lankan spinner while helping his side defend a below-par 131/9&nbsp;took a hattrick&nbsp;which included some big scalps like Evin&nbsp;Lewis, Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran. The flurry of wickets dented West Indies' chase but what came next is something no one could predict. Captain Kieron&nbsp;Pollard came out and smashed the hattrick&nbsp;hero for 6 sixes in an over. Pollard is now the 2nd cricketer to smash 6 sixes in T20 internationals as West Indies reached the 132 run target with little less than 7 overs&nbsp;to go.

Ahead of the 4th Test in Ahmedabad&nbsp;vs England, Indian skipper Virat&nbsp;Kohli has blasted those who questioned the quality of the pitch in the 3rd Test which finished in less than 2 days time. Targeting those who said that the surface lacked 'Test match quality&nbsp;Virat&nbsp;said, "It has always been the case that spinning tracks are criticised but when the ball seams a lot and teams are bundled out for 40-50, no one talks about it". The 4th Test vs England starts on Thursday in Ahmedabad.&nbsp;

A Congress leader in Madhya&nbsp;Pradesh&nbsp;who wanted to raise awareness about the rising fuel prices in the country decided to give 5 litres&nbsp;of Petrol as the prize in a cricket tournament.&nbsp;Salauddin Abbasi&nbsp;got the fuel instead of the prize money after scoring a century in the game but the Congress leader took the opportunity to smash a political&nbsp;six after the game. This ain't the first time that cricket and petrol are combined in a heady mix.

After vice-captain Ajinkya&nbsp;Rahane&nbsp;confirmed that the pitch in the 4th Test in Ahmedabad&nbsp;will a turning track, focus once again goes back to the turf. As the previous match at Motera lasted for less than 2 days, how long will the final Test last? India is expected to play 3 spinners again for the final game of the series which will also confirm their World Test Championship final berth. For England who is out of contention, the pressure will be to deliver a punch against the home team who look close to invincible on the turning tracks. A win for England will send Australia to the final in Lords but Virat&nbsp;Kohli's men will be ready for England's counter attack. With most Indian batsmen apart from Rohit&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;unable to find a&nbsp;rhythm&nbsp;in this series, the final Test will be a good opportunity to rake in big scores.&nbsp;
