Rohit Sharma got out, but he did really well, hitting 6 fours and 6 sixes for a total of 86 runs. Pakistan 0 sixes
Now, the team only needs 35 more runs to win. (sounds like commentary no?)

On a flat pitch, Indian bowlers have proven that they can take wickets. I had a notion that Pakistan batters would struggle against the Indian bowling attack. Now it is happening they have lost 7 wickets, which means their middle order has been wiped out. The bowlers are now on the pitch, run rate has gone down considerably. There wont be a big target to chase for the Indian batters for sure.
It was a complete disaster for Pakistan today. When Babar and Rizwan were batting the projected score was 300 runs. They both got out and the whole batting order crumbled. I remember after they lost to India in the Asia Cup, Vikrant Gupta did pointed out this issue. If Babar and Rizwan don't bat Pakistani batters fail to deliver what they are expected. Today we again saw the same problem.
This is actually serious issue for Pakistan team and it shows how much they dependent on Babar and Rizwan even today they are the only batsmen showed the fight back attitude.
Now India is striking back really hard, Hitman started hit show from the first ball itself unfortunately Gill got out early still no issues for the India and they are roaring at 64 for 1 at the end of 8 overs and if they score at this rate the match won't last long over 25 overs.
2 wickets gone for India, Shubman Gill is understandable but Kohli hitting a loose shot is not acceptable. He should have rotated the strike and let Rohit take on the Pakistan bowlers. India is still in a good position to win the game. The reason for scoring fast is because they want a good run rate and in the later stage of the game the ball might not come to the bat as it is now.

Pakistan Vs India
The match that every cricket fan had been waiting has started. India winning the toss and asking Pakistan to bat first. The pitch doesn't offer any assistance to the fast bowlers. It might give some assistance to the Indian spinners which we will see in the later stage of the game. At the moment the Pakistani openers have given their team a good start. After end of 8 overs they have scored 41 runs and lost 1 wicket.
Good news for India, Shubman Gill is part of the playing 11. He gives a good boost to the batting order of the Indian team. Ishan Kishan has been dropped for this match.

I am taking interest in cricket because I want to bet on sports, its low risky and low emotionally challenging to bet on sports then playing casino. I know some basics about cricket just don't have enough experience like knowing players name, records, who is best in batting, bowling, etc.
@cafter, I know you are enthusiastic about making money and I wish you all the best, but a fellow member of this forum, I would not encourage you to gamble your money like that.Sports betting is not learnt in one day by just knowing the game and how its played. It is a result of years of analysis of games, player's performance, team's outcome when pitched against one another and a bit of luck. You might get lucky but if you want a career in sports betting its way bigger than that. At some point you might not be able to clear your balance off the red.
Those who actually make money from sports betting are often gamblers but more often they are converted gamblers or affiliate marketers making podcasts about sports and showing off their money because they are paid to do so by betting companies. Same happens with Poker at one stage once you make a name for yourself. They dont gamble anymore.
Its your money though, not mine, but that is what I have understood over these years.
thanks for giving your helpful advice, I will gamble just small portion of my money which I will not regret after losing and I don't want to gamble for now Also I don't have a regular income, And I am a student I don't want to ruin my life gambling, I just shared that I will bet on sports by gaining some experiences when I will be married or have some regular income and a good job.
Once again thanks for your advice you are good wisher. I know about responsible gambling will not ruin my life and will give advice to people who are gambling irresponsibly.
Also I was a gully cricket boy who don't even scored a "6", I don't know but I was very bad at batting but my balling was good, I used to throw spin ball and hit their wicket.

What I learned today: I knew that today at 2PM There will be match between India and Pakistan, which is very interesting to watch then any other team match. And I think a good player Shubman Gill has recovered from dengue which increase odds of india wins.

Also BCCI mentioned that they are not seeking a replacement for Gill so he will likely to back in whenever he is ready.
While I heard some contrast news from former Indian player who mentioned that BCCI asked Ruturaj and Jaiswal to be prepared as back up on air while doing commentary on yesterday's match.

I don't think there will be any more issues regarding Gill's participation and Rohit Sharma said that his availability of Gill for today's match is 99%. Also, he was involved in the practice session yesterday so most likely we can see him opening on the match against Pakistan itself.
Good News for India
Our upcoming Kohli and Rohit Sharma replacement Shubhman Gill has been discharged from the hospital. Indian media reported that he has already reached Ahmedabad, I won't share the link here as you can do a simple Google search. I cannot confirm whether he will be playing in the upcoming important game against Pakistan. However, it is not possible to play a game in just a couple of days after fighting dengue as he was hospitalized due to a low platelet count.
Indian team has performed well in his absence in the last two matches. I think they will allow him to rest as India is in a better position on the point table after they won against Afghanistan. India is ranked second on the point table with a NRR of +1.5 below New Zealand as this team has multiple options. I still fell India should think about Ishan Kishan as he does not look comfortable while opening the innings.

Good news but the issue is he is still in the recovery and medical experts says it will take at least two weeks for a complete recovery from Dengue so he may miss the Pakistan match too if I am not wrong.

Shubhman Gill reaching Ahmedabad is a piece of good news for the Indian side. Will he play or not is questionable, we would need to wait for the BCCI and the team management to take a decision. It will all depend on his fitness level which might be happening before the match. I'm sure he won't try to miss this match as this match can become a crucial touchstone for him in his career, if he perfoms.

Rohit Sharma - the Hitman has killed the hopes of Afghanistan by nearing his runs to 100 (not so far). I am amazed how Afghanistan managed to score 272, but with current RR and looking at the required RR, India is already a winner of this match without losing a single wicket at the time of writing and may not lose any, as the combo of Sharma - Kishan is very deadly.
It will be like icing on the cake to see Ishan Kishan too opening up his arms and start co-operating Rohit in this run chase and end up the game quickly to achieve a good net RR.
Hitman broken many records yesterday.It will be like icing on the cake to see Ishan Kishan too opening up his arms and start co-operating Rohit in this run chase and end up the game quickly to achieve a good net RR.
1. The player to hit most number of sixes in all international format. (surpassed Gayle)
2. Fastest century scored by an Indian batter in world cup match (came after 40 years).
3. Fastest player to reach 1000 runs in WC, sharing with Warner on the 19 innings. (previously Sachin in 20 innings)
It looks to see such kind of blazing performance from Captain which is really needed for him after a long time, and I hope he is back into the form of 2019 where he scored 5 centuries.

I am really surprised with this change because if they wanted to bring an extra fast bowler then they should be replaced Shami since he got good record on this venue also for better compared to Shardul Takur as a bowler.
I don't think Afghanistan took batting first decision because they think they can defend against India, its due to their poor batting performance and their strong unit is bowling attack so they just went what will be the best option for them.
As if now AFG lost their 1st wicket to Bumrah.

There is nothing to be surprised by with this change, the pitch is a batting track. India needs an all-rounder who can bat in-depth and bowl that is why Shardul was onboarded and Ashwin was rested. I think the Indian management made the right decision as Shardul took a wicket.
Afghanistan's decision to bat first is solely based on the pitch, they do have a good bowling attack. They believed that batting first would help them as in they would be able to give a good target to India. Unfortunately, it is not working as they expected as they are still short of the 250 mark.
The match between India and Afghanistan begins in just a few minutes. There is a change in the playing 11 for today. Shardul Thakur replaces Ravichandran Aswin in this match. Afghanistan has won the toss and has chosen to bat first. Interesting approach by the Afghans as they believe they can defend their target against the best batting lineup.

Thank you for the chance. 
I watched the match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan today and it seemed ridiculous for a team like Sri Lanka to lose after giving a target of 345 with 2 full centuries and dismissing Imam-Ul-Haq and Babar Azam at early stage. This shows that this World Cup is full of surprises and India needs to be very much aware of the same and should be highly aware of each and every team and their players' capabilities to win each battle and bring the World Cup here.

Rizwan was the reason why Pakistan was able to chase 345 runs. Of course Srilankan bowling was at its poorest form yesterday. Their fielding was not that good, furthermore it seems they took the match lightly. Their focus was to get Babar Azam as soon as possible and thereafter Pakistani batting would collapse. In general in most cases that is how Pakistani batting works as the team is very dependable on Babar. Yesterday was a complete different day for Pakistan. No one expected Rizwan to bat so brilliantly
.
I suppose that was easy to answer, the next one would be a little tougher to answer for sure
. That is the correct answer. This photograph is from 1987, I don't know the location or the occasion where it was taken. Two legends of cricket for every Indian cricket fan. Both are still active, we can still here Sunil Gavaskar from the commentary box. Rahul Dravid is the coach of the Indian team playing the World Cup 2023. I did some calculation to find Rahul Dravid's age in 1987. He is 50 now and this picture was taken 36 years back, naturally he was a 14 year old kid in 1987.
