Indian skipper <keyword id="13937" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="rohit-sharma" source="Orion">Rohit Sharma</keyword> on Sunday equalled South Africa's <keyword id="77602" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ab-de-villiers" source="Orion">AB de Villiers</keyword> record for hitting the most ODI sixes in a calendar year during the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 match against South Africa at the Eden Gardens. Rohit went past West Indies legend Chris Gayle, who now sits second on the list with 56 sixes in 2019. The 36-year-old took 23 innings to reach the milestone, taking five more than de Villiers. Rohit hit Lungi Ngidi for two sixes during his 40-run innings to reach the 58 sixes mark before holing out to Temba Bavuma off Kagiso Rabada in the sixth over. Electing to bat first, India started very well as Rohit charged on the South African pacer, hitting them all around the ground as India scored fifty in 4.3 overs. India finished the powerplay on 91 for 1. This is the second-most runs South Africa have conceded in the first 10 overs in the tournament. Against Sri Lanka, they had given away 94 for 2. At the time of of publishing this story, India were 293/5 in 47 overs.

Rohit Sharma equals AB de Villiers record of most ODI sixes in a calendar year

Iyer reached the milestone in his 49th innings in the format, surpassing Shikhar Dhawan, who completed 2000 runs in ODIs in his 48th innings back in November 2014 against Sri Lanka in Hyderabad. Having endured some tough months recuperating from a nerve compression injury in his back, <keyword id="982208" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shreyas-Iyer" source="Orion">Shreyas Iyer</keyword> was out of action for six months earlier this year before returning for the Asia Cup a couple of months back. He started the ICC Men's ODI World Cup with a zero in the first match against Australia and followed it up with 25 against Afghanistan. An unbeaten 53 against Pakistan was again followed by a couple of low scores before Iyer proved his worth once again with a 56-ball 82 which helped India post 357/8 in 50 overs against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. Iyer credited opener Shubman Gill (92) andVirat Kohli (88) for laying the platform for India's big score. He said the inputs he got from the two batters helped him in his knock. "Virat bhai and Gill set the platform very well. After that KL and I came in and played our game. We got a message that the ball was holding on a bit, so we had to bide our time to play our strokes," Iyer told the official broadcaster after his fine innings laced with three boundaries and six maximums helped India post a massive score after being asked to bat first. Iyer said that it was a good wicket to bat. "I think it was pretty good to bat on, it was easy to rotate the strike at the start and get my eye in," said Iyer, who reached his half-century off 35 deliveries. His blistering knock helped Iyer complete 2000 runs in ODIs, reaching the milestone in his 49th innings. Iyer made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka at Dharamsala in December 2017. At the end of Thursday's knock, Iyer has scored 2017 runs in 49 innings of 54 matches, hitting 16 half-centuries and three centuries. He averages 45.84 and has a strike rate of 98.19. His 82 at his home ground on Thursday proved Iyer has returned to doing what he does best, giving a late boost to the innings thanks to his power-hitting. He helped India score 97 runs in the last 10 overs, sharing a 60-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja.

Shreyas Iyer becomes third fastest Indian batter to score 2000-run in ODIs

<keyword id="6354486" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="virat-kohli" source="Orion">Virat Kohli</keyword> brought up his 48th ODI century by hitting the winning six against Bangladesh, aided by <keyword id="6355454" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="KL-Rahul" source="Orion">KL Rahul</keyword> at the other end, as the pair turned down easy singles <keyword id="6360637" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="kohli" source="Orion">Kohli</keyword> could reach the landmark. Kohli's 48th ton in the format means he could yet overtake Sachin's all-time record of 49 during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. The 34-year-old's hundred is his third at ICC Cricket World Cups and the 48th of his ODI career, but it looked all the world like he was going to full short of reaching triple figures when India required 19 runs to win with Kohli himself still 19 short of the landmark. But, he was ably supported by Rahul at the other end and took the strike through to the close of the innings, and reached the milestone he wanted with a maximum that also sealed victory. After the match, which India won by seven wickets with 51 balls to spare, Rahul revealed that refraining from taking singles was his idea to enable Kohli to maintain strike and thereby enhance his prospects of reaching a century. "He was confused, he said it will not look too nice, not to take the single, it's still a World Cup, and it's still a big stage. 'I don't want to look like I am just trying to get the milestone'," Rahul told Star Sports as quoted by ESPNcricinfo. "But I said, I mean it is not won but still I think we'll win quite easily, so if you can get to the milestone why not, you must try. And he did that in the end. I wasn't going to run the singles anyway," he said. In the process of reaching his century, the Indian star became the fastest batter in the history of the men's game to score 26,000 runs in international cricket, bettering the previous record, held by <keyword id="6354267" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sachin-tendulkar" source="Orion">Sachin Tendulkar</keyword>, but 33 innings. Kohli's unbeaten 103 against Bangladesh on Thursday means that only India captain <keyword id="13937" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="rohit-sharma" source="Orion">Rohit Sharma</keyword> has now scored more runs so far at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, with the pair sitting top two in the Most Runs table. India's victory on Thursday has tied them in terms of points with New Zealand. Both teams remain unbeaten after playing four matches in the tournament. However, New Zealand currently leads the table due to their superior net run rate.

KL Rahul reveals why Virat Kohli avoided singles in ODI century chase

New Zealand Cricket (NZC) on Tuesday announced a ground-breaking agreement, which will see the country's professional women's and men's cricketers receive the same pay for the same work on the same day. The five-year landmark agreement struck between NZC, the six Major Associations, and the New Zealand Cricket Players Association (NZCPA), will see the <keyword id="2443006" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="white-ferns" source="Orion">White Ferns</keyword> and domestic women's players receiving the same match fees as the men across all their formats and competitions. This is a first deal in which the men's and women's professional environments have been combined in one agreement, said NZC in a statement. NZC, the NZCPA and the six Major Associations worked towards a pay equity framework with the advice of Australian gender pay expert <keyword id="14369622" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="yolanda-beattie" source="Orion">Yolanda Beattie</keyword>, whose expertise was sought by NZCPA. The improved pay and conditions are part of an agreement calculated on the country's men's and women's professional players receiving 29.75 per cent of all NZC forecast revenue over five years (<keyword id="1544528" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="nzd" source="Orion">NZD</keyword> 349m), expected to amount to NZD 104m. "Translated, this means the highest-ranked White Fern would be able to receive a maximum of NZD 163,246 a year (up from NZD 83,432), the ninth-ranked, NZD 148,946 (NZD 66,266), and the 17th-ranked NZD 142,346 (NZD 62,833)," said NZC. "The top-ranked women's domestic players in each Major Association would be able to receive a maximum of NZD 19,146 (up from NZD 3,423), the sixth-ranked NZD 18,646 (NZD 3,423), and the 12th-ranked NZD 18,146 (NZD 3,423)." The agreement sees the total number of women's domestic contracts increase from 54 to 72, all positioned as a secondary work commitment with restricted obligations, to enable players to retain full-time employment and/or study commitments. In addition, the number of domestic women's annual contracts will be increased from nine to 12 per team, and an annual women's North v South series for emerging international players will be introduced, complementing the existing development programmes. New Zealand's professional men's players, whose match fees at T20I, <keyword id="40478" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="odi" source="Orion">ODI</keyword>, Ford Trophy, and Dream11 Super Smash level will be the same as the women, will earn higher retainers, based on the increased number of matches played, formats contested, and time spent training and playing. "They have also received increases on current levels, the top-ranked <keyword id="1292609" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="black-cap" source="Orion">Black Cap</keyword> able to receive a maximum of NZD 523,396 (up from NZD 459,574), the 10th-ranked NZD 444,196 (NZD 377,981), and the 20th-ranked NZD 367,196 (NZD 305,453)," said the statement. Additionally, the highest-ranked domestic men's player in each Major Association would be in line to receive a maximum of NZD 102,707 (up from NZD 94,437), the eighth-ranked NZD 87,307 (NZD 77,357), and the 16th-ranked NZD 75,207 (NZD 64,406). The total remuneration for men's and women's professional players includes retainers, match fees, Trust IP payments, retirement fund contributions and insurance. They will retain their ability to play in overseas leagues, including the IPL. Another significant enhancement of the new Master Agreement will be a bigger funding envelope for the NZCPA's support services, allowing it to increase investment in, amongst other areas, its 'Personal Development Programme', particularly in terms of ensuring women's domestic players are offered the same level of support as the domestic men, <keyword id="82101" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="black-caps" source="Orion">Black Caps</keyword>, and White Ferns. The agreement, to commence on August 1, also seeks to ensure professional women's players receive equity in matters such as travel and accommodation, and the wider playing and training environment. It retains the pregnancy and childcare provisions contained in the existing agreements. White Ferns captain <keyword id="154392" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sophie-devine" source="Orion">Sophie Devine</keyword> said the agreement was a game-changer for women's cricket. "It's great for the international and domestic women players to be recognised in the same agreement, alongside the men. It's a massive step forward and will be a huge drawcard for young women and girls." New Zealand men's team skipper <keyword id="269650" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="kane-williamson" source="Orion">Kane Williamson</keyword> said it was an exciting time for the sport. "It's really important for the current players to build on the legacy of those who have gone before us, and to support tomorrow's players, both men and women, at all levels. This agreement goes a long way towards achieving that."

Hales hit 86 not out off 47 balls while <keyword id="2299781" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="buttler" source="Orion">Buttler</keyword> smacked an unbeaten 80 off 49 balls to chase down 168/6 by India in style with four overs remaining. With a dominating win, England will now face Pakistan in the final of the tournament at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday, 30 years after the two teams met in the 1992 ODI World Cup final at the very same venue. India was off their lengths and did not offer any challenge to the opening pair of Hales and Buttler, who put them under pressure from the word go. Moreover, they were more than sloppy in the field, thus being comprehensively outplayed and hammered by England in all departments of the game. In the chase of 169, Buttler knew that Bhuvneshwar Kumar was going to be his biggest threat in the opening over. To counter the pacer, he walked down and moved across to let his hands do the talking by taking three fours in the opening over. Buttler would take a brace of fours off Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel through the off-side while Hales hammered a six over cover off Bhuvneshwar as England matched India's power-play total in just 3.2 overs. Hales was the more aggressive of the two, thumping Mohammed Shami over mid-off for six and got an outer edge running past the keeper for four. Axar came under more attack as Hales and Buttler hit him for a six and four respectively to sign off from the power-play unscathed. Post-power-play, Hales stepped up the attack against Indian spinners - sweeping <keyword id="200030" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ravichandran-ashwin" source="Orion">Ravichandran Ashwin</keyword> for six and rocked back to hammer Axar over deep mid-wicket for another maximum to get his fifty by the end of the eighth over. Hales then brought up the century of the opening stand by pulling Hardik Pandya for a six over deep mid-wicket and followed it up with another six by slog-sweeping off Ashwin. Buttler ramped Pandya over fine leg for four and got his fifty with a pulled six over deep square leg. Buttler then hit Shami for two fours and a six in the 14th over, where he also got a reprieve as the mid-off failed to take the catch and parried the ball to the boundary rope. Fittingly, Buttler finished off the innings in style by dispatching Shami over long-on for a majestic six to enter the final. Brief Scores: India 168/6 in 20 overs (Hardik Pandya 63, Virat Kohli 50; Chris Jordan 3/43, Adil Rashid 1/20) lost to England 170/0 in 16 overs (Alex Hales 86 not out, Jos Buttler 80 not out) by ten wickets SEE ALSO: <a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/sports/news/ahead-of-indias-semifinal-heres-how-the-men-in-blue-have-performed-against-england-in-t20/slidelist/95417123.cms">Ahead of India’s semifinal, here’s how Men in Blue have performed against England in T20</a> <a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/health/news/youre-eating-fats-and-carbs-because-your-body-wants-protein/articleshow/95418167.cms">You're eating fats and carbs because your body wants protein</a>

Police confirmed that the 46-year-old died at the scene of the mishap. "Early information indicates, shortly after 11 p.m. (Australian time) the car was being driven on Hervey Range Road, near Alice River Bridge when it left the roadway and rolled," the police statement said. "Emergency services attempted to revive the 46-year-old driver and sole occupant. However, he died of his injuries. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating." Symonds averaged 40.61 with the bat from 26 Tests for his country, but was perhaps best known for his exploits in white-ball cricket. He featured in 198 ODIs -- scoring six centuries and 30 half-centuries -- while also contributing 133 wickets with his handy off-spin and gentle medium pace. It was at the 2003 World Cup where Symonds burst on to the stage with perhaps his greatest innings, as he smashed Pakistan with an unbeaten 143 in Johannesburg early in the event and helped Australia remain unbeaten and defeat India in a one-sided final. The stocky right-hander was also part of the victorious World Cup side at the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies as Australia claimed their fourth 50-over World Cup title. Symonds also played 14 T20I for Australia, managing 337 runs and eight wickets. His death is the second famous Australia cricketer to tragically pass away in 2022, after champion leg-spinner Shane Warne died from a heart-attack in Thailand in March. Former wicketkeeper Rod Marsh also passed away from a heart attack earlier this year. Cricket Australia chair, Lachlan Henderson, was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au that, "Australian cricket has lost another of its very best. Andrew was a generational talent who was instrumental in Australia's success at World Cups and as part of Queensland's rich cricket history. He was a cult figure to many who was treasured by his fans and friends. "On behalf of Australian cricket our deepest sympathies are with Andrew's family, team-mates, and friends." In the 26 Tests he played for Australia, Symonds scored 1,462 runs at 40.61 and picked up 24 wickets. He scored a superb unbeaten 162 against India in the 2008 Sydney Test, which helped the hosts to a 122-run victory. However, the match ended in controversy over the 'Monkeygate scandal'. The all-rounder accused India spinner Harbhajan Singh of calling him a "monkey", which triggering a verbal confrontation between the two teams and India threatened to cancel the tour after Harbhajan was initially suspended for three matches. But, it was white-ball cricket that was Symond's forte. Affectionately called 'Roy', the hard-hitter played 198 ODIs, scoring 5,088 runs and taking 133 wickets. Symonds was born in Birmingham but shifted base to Australia with his adoptive parents, according to cricket.com.au. He became an integral part of Australia's Word Cup-winning campaigns in 2003 and 2007, with both bat and ball. His 143 against the Wasim Akram-led Pakistan in Australia's opening match of the 2003 edition in Johannesburg was where Symonds announced his arrival on the international scene. The right-handed batter's match-winning knock came off just 125 deliveries and was embellished with 18 fours and two maximums. In the last-four clash against Sri Lanka, Symonds came at a time when Australia were struggling on 3/53. The champion all-rounder went on to score an unbeaten 91 to help the defending champions finally manage 212/7, which turned out to be the winning total in a rain-affected match. During the 2007 World Cup, Australia cruised through the pool games, easily defeating Sri Lanka in the decider in Barbados. He finished his twin World Cup campaigns averaging 103, and a strike rate of 93.29. "I think it's the fear factor he puts into the opposition because he can clear the boundary on a regular basis," former Australian captain Ian Chappell had said of Symonds. "He is going to create some run outs for you. He'll take a blinding catch and he has been very, very tidy with the ball now for a long time," Chappell had said. Queensland Cricket Chair Chris Simpson said the cricket community was devastated by Symonds' death. "On behalf of Queensland Cricket, we express our deepest sympathies to his family and will do whatever we can to assist them," he said to the website. "It is a shattering loss to those nearest to him, and his wide circle of friends which extend to all corners of the cricketing world. "His untimely passing will also resonate deeply with the many fans who thrilled to his efforts with bat, ball and in the field. He stood out for his skill, courage and determination, and the fans who saw him at his best will never forget his impact on a game. "We are all hurting and will miss him greatly. His former teammates will remember his loyalty to the playing group and recall the fun times with great fondness, and sorrow that he is gone. "He loved Queensland and its outdoor lifestyle and valued and respected the opportunities he had as a youngster growing up in North Queensland that enabled him to go onto represent his state and country." In recent years, Symonds did commentary in the Big Bash League.
