Morkel on Abhishek Sharma

India’s assistant coach, Morne Morkel, has virtually confirmed that Abhishek Sharma won’t be dropped against South Africa.

South Africa’s spin web for India

Knowing this, South Africa is getting part-timers Aiden Markram and Tristan Stubbs ready for their match on February 22. Markram has bowled just 2 overs in 4 last matches, while Stubbs hasn’t bowled in T20Is since November 2024.

With nine wickets down for just 64, Royal Challengers Bengaluru were staring down the barrel of humiliation. In a rain-shortened 14-over clash against Punjab Kings at the Chinnaswamy, the memories of their infamous 49 all-out threatened to resurface. But Tim David had other plans.

RCB were 74/9 when David took strike for the final over. Wha...
