Cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay&nbsp;Manjrekar was trolled after he posted a bowling advice for Indian star pacer Jasprit&nbsp;Bumrah&nbsp;on Twitter on Thursday. In the aftermath of the super over that sealed India's T20 series win in New Zealand, Manjrekar&nbsp;tweeted that Bumrah&nbsp;could use the crease better to create different delivery angles.

Cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar was trolled after he posted a bowling advice for Indian star pacer Jasprit Bumrah on Twitter on Thursday. In the aftermath of the super over that sealed India's T20 series win in New Zealand, Manjrekar tweeted that Bumrah could use the crease better to create different delivery angles. In no time, fans bombarded the former cricketer with memes and savage comments in defense of their favorite bowler.

After beating Australia in the opening match of the Women's T20 World Cup, India beat Bangladesh by 18 runs in a hard-fought match on Monday. Without Smriti Mandhana, 16-year-old Shafali Verma gave India a solid start with a 17-ball 39. However, 2 wickets each from Salma Khatun and Panna Ghosh coupled with several confusions on the pitch restricted India to a total of 142. Bangladesh's skipper Nigar Sultana took charge scoring 35 runs in 26 balls, but leg-spinner Poonam Yadav once again displayed a fantastic performance as she took 3 wickets giving away just 18 runs in four years. With this, girls in blue have registered their 2nd straight win of the tournament and sit on top of their Group.

US President Donald Trump's 2 days visit to India is subject to a number of&nbsp;memes and trolling on social media. After Trump's speech at the Motera&nbsp;Cricket Stadium on Monday, ICC&nbsp;too jumped in to action. During his speech, Trump praised Sachin&nbsp;Tendulkar&nbsp;and Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;and in the process mispronounced the little master's name, calling him 'Soochin' with his signature pout. ICC&nbsp;took to Twitter to troll Trump, tweeting various pronunciations and asking if anyone knows the right one.&nbsp;

He might be surrounded by American football and baseball all the time but visiting President Donald Trump does know a thing or two about cricket. During his rally at Ahmedabad's&nbsp;Motera&nbsp;Cricket Stadium, Trump praised the two stalwarts of Indian cricket.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A piece of good news for an already struggling team India, the all-rounder&nbsp;Hardik&nbsp;Pandya&nbsp;is all set to make a come back after he was out of action for five months&nbsp;due to a lower back injury. The fit-again 26-year-old will first play in the DY Patil&nbsp;T20 tournament.&nbsp;Pandya&nbsp;who&nbsp;last represented India&nbsp;on September&nbsp;22 last year against South&nbsp;Africa&nbsp;will be&nbsp;assessed on the basis of&nbsp;his performance and progress by the national selectors and could be available for national team selection.&nbsp;

The iconic Motera cricket ground that hosted American President Donald Trump and PM Narendra Modi has got a rich history of its own.&nbsp;It&rsquo;s the largest cricket stadium in the World and the 2nd biggest stadium overall after North Korea&rsquo;s &nbsp;Rungrado May Day Stadium.&nbsp;The new facility can seat over 1,10,000 fans which is over 10,000 more than the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. It was recently renovated by the Gujarat Cricket Association at a cost of over Rs 800 crore.&nbsp;Back in the day, Motera first hosted a match in Nov 1983 when India played West Indies in a Test match. The last match played at this ground was a T20 encounter between India and arch-rivals Pakistan. At Motera Cricket Ground, Sunil Gavaskar completed his 10,000 career runs during a series vs Pakistan in 1987.&nbsp;Kapil Dev also broke Richard Hadlee&rsquo;s then world record of 431 wickets. In 1999, Sachin Tendulkar also smashed a double hundred in Motera against New Zealand.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

South Africa staged an incredible comeback to level the 3-match T20 series vs Australia as they won the 2nd encounter in Port Elizabeth on Sunday. Quinton de Kock&nbsp;smashed a 47 ball 70 which helped South Africa post 158/4 from their 20 overs. In reply, Australia were in cruise control with David Warner scoring a quick 67 not out. Needing 25 from their last 3 overs, the Aussies cracked under pressure as they fell short of the target. The 12 run win for the hosts ensures that the 3rd and final match will be the series decider.&nbsp;

Trent Boult and Tim Southee&nbsp;were on fire on the 4th day morning in Wellington as they helped New Zealand&nbsp;crush Team India by 10 wickets to win the 1st Test. India lost their last 6 wickets for 47 runs in the morning as Southee&nbsp;finished with 9 wickets in the match. The Kiwis chased down the 9 run target with ease as they ended India's 7-match winning streak in Tests. This was also the first loss for Virat&nbsp;Kohli's men in the World Test Championship.&nbsp;

The 3rd day of the 1st Test started with India taking a wicket on the first ball as&nbsp;Ishant&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;registered impressive&nbsp;figures of 5 for 68. However, the Kiwi batting line up survived the attack long enough to take a 183 run lead before they were bowled out. India was hoping to not repeat the day 1 disaster but with Prithvi Shaw, Pujara and Kohli&nbsp;removed early by Trent Boult, the task fell on Mayank&nbsp;Agarwal's&nbsp;shoulder to carry the innings forward. Agarwal&nbsp;smashed a 99 ball 58 to bring India's game back to life before he was dismissed by Tim Southee. Day 3 ended with India on 144 for 4, trailing by 39 runs, indicating that the Kiwis are still very much in control.&nbsp;

Ishant Sharma&nbsp;arrived in New Zealand&nbsp;just 4 days before the Wellington Test, thanks to his last-minute drafting in the squad, the Delhi lad brought India's game to life after they were toppled by the Kiwis in the first innings. The 31-year-old took 5 wickets giving away just 68 runs to complete his 11th 5-wicket haul in Test format. This is the 2nd time Ishant&nbsp;has registered a 5-wicket haul on the Wellington pitch and&nbsp;now he&nbsp;is just 3 wickets shy from claiming a total of 300 wickets in Test cricket.&nbsp;

Pakistan government on Saturday announced that they will honour Darren Sammy with citizenship and Nishan-e-Haider, which is the country's highest civilian award. The Pakistan Cricket Board said it wants to&nbsp;acknowledge the former West Indian captain's role in bringing international cricket back to the country. Sammy, who is presently leading Peshawar Zalmi&nbsp;in the 5th Pakistan Super League season will be given the award on March 23 by President Arif&nbsp;Alvi. It was Darren Sammy who agreed to play in the&nbsp;PSL&nbsp;while a majority of the international players refused to do so because of security concerns.&nbsp;

Rishabh Pant may have lost his chance to impress with the bat but his wicket proved&nbsp;beneficial for the Black Caps. New Zealand&nbsp;pacer, Tim Southee&nbsp;believes that Pant's&nbsp;run-out changed the course of the Indian innings which winded up at a below-par score of 165 in the first Test on Saturday. Pant who showed some promise with his batting partner Ajinkya&nbsp;Rahane&nbsp;lost his wicket due to Rahane's&nbsp;poor call for a single. India quickly collapsed after Rahane&nbsp;was also shown the door by&nbsp;Southee. India lost 5 wickets for 33 runs after Pant's&nbsp;dismissal.

Veteran Indian cricketer&nbsp;Mithali&nbsp;Raj&nbsp;has said that India's thrilling win against Australia in the opening game of the Women's World T20 will give India a huge confidence boost moving ahead in the competition. The 37-year-old said that India's win shows that it's still an open competition and the ICC&nbsp;rankings do not matter in this tournament. Mithali&nbsp;singled out Poonam&nbsp;Yadav's performance and said that the spinner's brilliant spell of 4 for 19 was the turning point for India.&nbsp;

Jaipur is likely to host the Women's IPL matches once again this year. Last year, too, Jaipur had hosted the matches of the Women's IPL, when three teams had featured in the tournament. Reports quoting T20 officials said&nbsp;there would be 7 matches played between 4 teams. The All Star match, which was scheduled to be held before the IPL, will reportedly take place after it.
&nbsp;

Cricketing greats&nbsp;took to social media to congratulate the women in blue for snatching a fantastic win from defending champions Australia in the opening match of the T20 Women's World Cup.&nbsp;Sachin&nbsp;Tendulkar&nbsp;called the performance by the Indian team a comprehensive one and encouraged them to keep up the good work.&nbsp;Former batsman Virender&nbsp;Sehwag&nbsp;and VVS&nbsp;Laxman&nbsp;also&nbsp;commended the effort by Poonam Yadav and the bowlers to defend 132 against Australia.

Indian women's team skipper Harmanpreet&nbsp;Kaur&nbsp;credited leg-spinner Poonam Yadav and the bowlers for turning the game in India's favour, as India toppled defending champions Australia.
"Poonam (Yadav) did a great job for us and I think the credit goes to our bowlers. They kept us in it and won the game for us," she said.

India started their World T20 campaign with a bang as the women in blue slayed hosts and defending champions Australia in their own backyard to snatch a thrilling 17-run victory from the jaws of defeat. After restricting India to 132/4, Aussies were cruising towards a win as Alyssa Healy smashed her 3rd fifty in T20 World Cups. The visitors looked buried but Poonam Yadav had other plans. She spun her web of destruction and turned the match on its head with figures of 4/19.&nbsp;She could have also taken a World Cup hat-trick had Taniya Bhatiya taken a tough chance. Shikha Pandey too picked up 3 wickets as the hosts were bowled out for mere 115.&nbsp;With that India completed a hat-trick of wins against Australia in both the 50 over and T20 World Cups combined.

Indian skipper Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;may have given nightmare to bowlers for quite a while now, but the tour to New Zealand&nbsp;seems to be giving him the taste of his own medicine. The Delhi lad is going through a rare poor run of form and after a quite T20 and ODI series, Virat was dismissed cheaply for just 2 in the first innings of the Wellington Test. On the tour, he has managed to score just 1 half-century in 8 innings across&nbsp;all formats. Virat&nbsp;has also gone 19 International innings without scoring a hundred,&nbsp;his worst run of form since the horrid 2014 England tour. India would hope that the number 1 Test batsman finds his mojo back and does what he does best.

Indian cricketer Pragyan&nbsp;Ojha&nbsp;decided to bid his international career an adieu as he announced his retirement from all forms of cricket with immediate effect&nbsp;on Friday. 33-year-old Ojha&nbsp;made his International debut in 2008 and donned the India jersey in 24 Tests, 18 ODIs and 6 T20I. Though his professional career spanned for 16 years but Ojha&nbsp;last played for India in November&nbsp;2013. That Test match also happened to be Sachin&nbsp;Tendulkar's farewell game.&nbsp;

New Zealand's&nbsp;Ross Taylor etched his name in history books when he took the field in the 1st Test vs India on&nbsp;Friday as he became the only cricketer ever to have played 100 international matches in each of the 3 formats. The day was made even more special as Taylor was accompanied&nbsp;on to the field by his kids. The 35-year-old also became the 4th Kiwi to play 100 Tests joining Stephen Fleming, Daniel Vettori and Brendon McCullum&nbsp;on the elite list.&nbsp;Taylor who made his debut in 2006&nbsp;is&nbsp;already the leading run-scorer in Tests and ODIs&nbsp;for New Zealand.

Day 1 of the Wellington Test proved to be a nightmare for India as a batting collapse saw the visitors end the opening day at 122/5 with New Zealand clearly on top. Kiwi fast bowlers ran through India's top order which fell like 9 pins. Kyle Jamieson breathed fire on his Test debut as Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and Hanuma Vihari fell victims to his lethal pace and swing. Ajinkya Rahane, however, looked solid and led India's fightback with an unbeaten on 38. Making a return to the side Rishabh Pant&nbsp;held one end&nbsp;and remained not out on 10 before rain gods interveined. The downpour never stopped as the entire final session was washed away. As a result, 98 overs will be bowled on each of the remaining 4 days.
