Amid the furore generated by Virat Kohli’s abusive behaviour with an Indian journalist, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Thursday tried to diffuse the tension by lauding the fourth estate for its support and for “taking cricket back” to the country.
Although Ashwin refrained from making any comments on the ‘Virat Kohli abuse episode’ but it did look like he tried his best in his damage control act.

There is not much the bowlers or a captain can do when batsmen of the caliber of AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle are on song, says India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the defending champions prepare to clash with the West Indies on Friday.
South African captain De Villiers and West Indies’ Gayle are two such players which would have kept Dhoni worried and required him to make some planning.

India take on a revitalised West Indies team which has won two of their last three matches in the World Cup in Perth on Friday.
After an initial shock defeat to Ireland, the Windies got their campaign back on track with win against a struggling Pakistan outfit before dismantling Zimbabwe as a result of Chris Gayle’s pyrotechnics. They then sank to disheartening defeat to South Africa after AB de Villiers reminded them of exactly why he’s considered the best batsman of the game.
