The rise and rise of India, Royal Challengers Bengaluru star Virat Kohli
He ranks as India's fourth-highest run-scorer in Tests, following cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and Sunil Gavaskar who scored 15,921, 13,265, and 10,122 runs respectively.
His Test journey began in June 2011 against the West Indies, where he struggled initially with just 76 runs in five innings. However, he soon established himself with his first century against Australia at Adelaide in 2012, scoring 116 from 213 deliveries.
Kohli experienced his most successful period from 2016 to 2019, amassing 4,208 runs in 43 Tests at an average of 66.79, including 16 centuries and 10 fifties in 69 innings.
As Test captain, he set a record with seven double centuries. However, the 2020s proved challenging for the 36-year-old, managing 2,028 runs in 39 Tests at an average of 30.72, with three centuries and nine fifties.
His final year in Test cricket in 2023 showed improved form, with 671 runs in eight Tests at an average of 55.91, including two centuries and two fifties in 12 innings.

Tammy Hembrow's divorce: Why her $50M fitness and fashion empire could be at risk
Australian fitness entrepreneur and social media star Tammy Hembrow stunned fans this weekend by confirming her split from husband Matt Zukowski just seven months after their lavish Byron Bay wedding. Speaking through tears on TikTok to her 2.1 million followers, Hembrow revealed that divorce is imminent, citing personal responsibility and immense distress, especially regarding the impact on her children. 'This is giving me so much anxiety... I am going to be getting a divorce,' she said. Hembrow expressed regret and heartbreak, acknowledging that while she didn't want to lay blame, she 'blames no one but myself' for the breakdown of her marriage. She spoke of deep shame and embarrassment, comparing the situation to the worst moment of her life, particularly as a mother of three and amid vicious online commentary. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Aktuelle Neuigkeiten der Bundesregierung: Neuer Solar-Beschluss für Hausbesitzer ohne Solar Solar Nachrichten Aktuell Weiterlesen Undo At the center of this personal upheaval is a business empire estimated to be worth $50 million, on which her divorce could place mounting pressure. Hembrow boasts nearly 20 million combined followers on Instagram and TikTok, driving massive engagement and influence. Her flagship Saski Collection activewear line and Tammy Fit app are cornerstones of her enterprise. Membership subscriptions cost between $24.99/month and $114.99/year, generating significant recurring revenue. Live Events The couple resides in a $2.88 million waterfront mansion in Broadbeach Waters, which Hembrow acquired in 2020. The sprawling entertainer's estate, featuring a timber jetty and scenic coastal views, is part of the divorce proceedings. With such wealth at stake and Hembrow's net worth far outpacing Zukowski's, some industry observers note Australia's property law may benefit her, focusing on individual contributions rather than a strict 50–50 split. The outcome could significantly affect her control over annual revenues and real estate. Throughout the announcement, Hembrow, 31, continually returned to her three young children, Wolf (10) and Saskia (8), from previous relationships, and Posy (3), from another ex. She admitted the separation 'hurt the worst for my kids' and pledged to focus on healing and supporting them above all. Hembrow also shared that therapy has been 'life‑changing' amid the divorce, admitting she's only just begun to confront relationship patterns she regrets. She expressed determination to learn from her choices and approach future relationships more cautiously. Zukowski, 29 and known for his appearance on Love Island Australia, echoed her statements in his own Instagram post. He described the decision as 'difficult but necessary', especially for their personal wellbeing and that of the children. He said no blame was being assigned and shared that the split was made after 'much struggle'. Australian family courts will now adjudicate property division, guided by financial contribution. Hembrow's bigger economic stake and primary asset ownership will influence these proceedings. The divorce could trigger leadership and decision-making transitions within Saski Collection and related ventures.

Cricket: England cancel out India's first innings lead as visitors endure below par day in the field
LEEDS: K L Rahul drove his way to a sublime 47 after England negated India's advantage by totalling 465 in their first innings as the visitors had another ordinary day in the field on day three of the first Test here on Sunday. India dropped as many as five catches and barring Jasprit Bumrah , the effort from the pacers left a lot to be desired, allowing England to even out the game after the Shubman Gill-led side posted 471 in its first essay. At stumps, India reached 90 for two with Rahul (47 batting off 75) and Shubman Gill (6 batting off 10).

Rahul was a delight to watch as majority of his seven fours came via the cover and square drive off the fast bowlers. He did not look any discomfort whatsoever despite the ball doing a bit in overcast conditions. Stumps were drawn when rain arrived at Headingley with India leading by 96 runs. Live Events In an extended afternoon session, Harry Brook ran out of luck on 99 before Jasprit Bumrah completed a well deserved five-wicket haul to ensure a slender six-run first innings lead for India. Before Bumrah castled Josh Tongue to end England innings, Chris Woakes (38 off 55) punished a predictable Indian pace attack to take his team close to India's 471. Hosts continued to find the boundaries at will as they collected 138 runs in 23.4 overs in the afternoon session with the loss of five wickets. Prasidh Krishna removed Jamie Smith (40 off 52) and Brook (99 off 112) with the short ball but leaked too many runs at the same time with his one dimensional tactic, conceding 128 runs in 20 overs. Bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur was under bowled again, raising questions over his selection. Bumrah, who has by far been the best Indian bowler on display, picked up his 14th fifer in the longest format ending with figures of 5/83 in 24.4 overs. India's fielding have been their weakest link so far in the game and having been give two lives, Brook was dropped again, on 82, by Jaiswal off Bumrah. The explosive England batter however could not use those chances to score a famous hundred and was dismissed on 99 in the 88th over. India had taken the new ball after 80 overs but were not able to make good use of it. Captain Shubman Gill made questionable calls like introducing Ravindra Jadeja towards the end of the session and bringing back Bumrah for a late burst. In the opening session, Brook went on the offensive against an inconsistent Indian pace attack, taking England to 327 for five at lunch. Resuming at an overnight 209 for three, Brook ensured that England scored at a brisk pace, totalling 118 runs in 28 overs. The visitors got two welcome wickets of overnight centurion Ollie Pope (106 off 137) and England captain Ben Stokes (20 off 52). Like day two, the other Indian pacers could not match the accuracy of Bumrah. Brook, dismissed off a Bumrah no ball at the stroke of stumps on day two, was dropped by wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant on 46 shortly before lunch. Jadeja, who was able to extract sharp turn from the rough, got one to turn away sharply but Pant could not hold on to the rising ball. In the same over, Brook completed his 12th Test fifty, adding to the frustration of the Indians who have been sloppy with their catching thus far in the game. Led by captain Shubman Gill, the Indians were also very vocal about their issues with a worn out Dukes ball throughout the session. The umpires relented before the 75th over while the new ball will be due after 80 overs. The session belonged to the highly rated Brook who produced a display of audacious strokeplay from the get go. Krishna offered two loose balls in the first over of the day and Brook duly put them for a four through point and six off over mid-wicket. Brook's tactics against the pacers, including Bumrah, stood out as he charged down to them for aerial drives over extra cover. Krishna, in his following over, was lucky to get Pope out as the England number three edged a short and wide ball to the keeper.
