Gill credits Kohli's freedom-first approach after star's 139* in first ODI vs WI

Kohli backed that belief with a dominant unbeaten 139 off 88 balls in the first ODI against West Indies on Sunday. Gill himself contributed 110 runs, and the two batters combined for a 151-run partnership. India won the match by eight wickets at the Greenfield International Stadium.

Abhishek Sharma's 194-plus strike rate makes him T20I cricket's most feared opener

India opener Abhishek Sharma made headlines with a 30-ball century against Afghanistan in T20I cricket. Beyond that record knock, his overall numbers paint an even more alarming picture for opposition bowlers. He currently strikes at 194.55 while maintaining a healthy average of 33.18, a rare combination of aggression and consistency. His dominance in powerplay overs and ability to clear the boundary regularly have been standout features of his evolving game. These statistics collectively suggest Abhishek has developed into one of the most dangerous T20 openers in world cricket.
