Virat Kohli's poor run with the bat saw his Test ranking take a big hit on Wednesday as he dropped out of the top 10 list in the newly announced ICC Test Rankings for batters. He dropped 3 places to the 13th spot.
However, Rishabh Pant was rewarded for his consistent show with the bat and jumped to the 5th spot, his career-high Test rank. The wicketkeeper-batter smashed a fiery 146 in the 1st innings and backed it up with a half-century in the 2nd innings of the Edgbaston Test vs England.
England's Joe Root continues to hold the top spot, which has put him on the elite list of top 20 highest-rated batters in ICC Rankings history.

Team India may not have won the 2019 World Cup but the Men In Blue certainly proved to be one of the most ruthless sides of the tournament. And one man who made it possible was Rohit Sharma.
The Hitman etched his name in the history books on July 6, 2019, when he smashed his 5th hundred of the tournament. With a 103 vs Sri Lanka, Rohit became the first batter in the history of cricket to hit 5 hundreds in a single edition of the ODI World Cup. 
Before that game, Rohit had reached the three-figure mark against South Africa, Pakistan, England and Bangladesh. The record was previously held by Kumar Sangakkara, who scored 4 hundreds in the 2015 ODI World Cup.

Ravi Shastri has slammed India's batting approach in the 5th Test vs England and has called it timid. 
As the visitors were bowled out for mere 245 in the 2nd innings of the Edgbaston Test, losing last 7 wickets for just 92 runs, the former India head coach said that India could have batted England out of the contest had they not been defensive and timid in their approach.
'Runs were important at that stage of the game and I thought they just went into a shell, lost those wickets too quickly, and gave enough time for England to bat,' added Shastri.
Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen also questioned India's stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah's captaincy and said that he got his tactics all wrong. Pietersen felt that India gave away singles far too easily and didn't have an attacking field.
India has now lost all of their last 3 overseas Tests and bowlers failed to defend good totals in all of those games.

Indian bowlers looked clueless as the duo carried England over the finish line with an unbeaten 269-run stand. It's now the highest-successful run chase on any England ground and the biggest vs India.

Bairstow even gave a hilarious angle to the conversation and said that Virat might have been angry as he refused to invite him for dinner. But concluded by saying that Kohli and him will surely have dinner together.
The Englishman is enjoying a superb run with the bat and is already the highest run-getter in Test in 2022.

Ravi Shastri, who is largely credited for Team India's dominance in overseas games feels that he got the coaching job by mistake.
'I was in the commentary box and I was asked to go there and I did my bit,' added Shastri. The former India head coach though has backed Rahul Dravid to be the best person to replace him. Shastri said that Rahul is a guy who has come through the system and done the hard yards. He's been coach of the U-19 team and then he has taken over the Indian team. 'He will enjoy it, once the team starts responding to what he says,' feels the 60-year-old.
Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli's partnership helped India become the best touring sides in the world. Under them, Team India became the first Asian team to beat Australia in their own backyard twice and also enjoyed great success in England.

India ex-captain MS Dhoni turned 41 on Thursday and he celebrated his birthday in style as he was spotted watching Wimbledon action from the stands with his friends.
Indian Premier League's Chennai Super Kings shared a photo on social media in which MS Dhoni can be seen wearing a grey colour suite and enjoying the Wimbledon match with his friends.
It was believed that the Indian legend was watching the men's singles quarter-final between Rafael Nadal and Taylor Fritz in which Nadal struggled with an abdominal injury but battled hard to win the 5-set quarter-finals.
Other than Dhoni, Indian former cricketer, Sunil Gavaskar and former England football team captain David Beckham also attended Wimbledon.

MS Dhoni, the legendary Indian captain has just turned 41!
MSD, who is currently in London with his family, was snapped enjoying tennis at Wimbledon hours before his 41st birthday.
In a photo shared by both Wimbledon and the Chennai Super Kings, Dhoni can be seen sitting in the stands. MSD reportedly was present at Centre Court to watch the clash between Rafael Nadal &amp; Taylor Fritz, an epic encounter that went right down to the wire.
Post his appearance at the All-England Club, Dhoni kickstarted his birthday celebrations by cutting a number of cakes. In a video shared by his wife Sakshi on Instagram, a beaming MSD was captured on camera in front of a balloon banner that read, Happy Birthday Mahi.
The 41-year-old is the only captain in the history of cricket to lift all three ICC trophies in limited overs cricket. Under him, India won ICC T20 World Cup in 2007, ODI World Cup in 2011 and Champions Trophy in 2013 which was also India's last ICC trophy.

With at least 15 T20Is games left ahead of the World T20 in October-November, Team India will look to finalise their best possible Playing XI when they take on England in the T20I series, starting July 7, in Southampton.
As Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah are available from the second T20I, it would be one last chance for fringe players such as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson to put up a noticeable performance.

Meanwhile, Deepak Hooda looked certain to start in India Playing XI at the number 3 batting position in the first T20I after hitting a century in T20Is against Ireland. And it is going to be a big headache for team management once Kohli will be available from the second T20I.
Moreover, Ishan Kishan has provided Men In Blue brisk starts recently and the southpaw is likely to partner captain Rohit Sharma at the top. With Bumrah unavailable for 1st game, veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead the attack with Harshal Patel and Avesh Khan while Hardik Pandya will be doing the all-round duties.
However, England under new captain Jos Buttler would be a tough nut to crack given the Three Lions have been playing a different brand of cricket, going hard from the first ball. 
India vs England Playing XI prediction
India Playing XI (probable): Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Deepak Hooda, Suryakumar Yadav, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal.
England Playing XI (probable): Jos Buttler, Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, David Willey, Reece Topley, Tymal Mills, Matthew Parkinson.
