Former Indian skipper Virat Kohli is back home after India’s five-match tour of Australia. The 36-year-old scored 190 runs with one century but largely endured a frustrating time with the bat. The veteran batter was out caught behind the wicket on eight occasions out of the nine innings he batted.

Kohli was spotted with his wife Anuskha Sharma visiting Premanand Maharaj recently. The former Indian skipper was accompanied by his children as the batter sought divine intervention. Both Kohli and current skipper Rohit Sharma are facing uncertain futures after their disastrous showing with the bat during the BGT series. 

Anushka Sharma could be heard saying, “The last time I came, I had a few questions in my heart. I wanted to ask those questions, but someone else more or less covered it. When I was thinking about coming here, I was talking to you inside my mind. The next day, I would open ‘Kanti Vartalap' and those questions would've been asked by someone. Now, all I want is your blessings.”

Robin Uthappa speaks on Yuvraj Singh’s curtailed career

Former India batter Robin Uthappa was recently a guest on the famous YouTube show ‘Lallantop’. During the course of the show, the former IPL winner spoke about how Yuvraj Singh’s career came to an end. Yuvraj had made an amazing return to cricket after battling cancer in 2011. 

Uthappa said, “Take Yuvi pa’s instance. The man beat cancer, and he is trying to come back to the international side. He’s a man who’s won us a World Cup—two in fact, with others playing an integral role as well. Then you tell such a player, as the captain, that his lung capacity has diminished. You’ve been with him and seen him struggle. Nobody has told me this. I merely observe these things.”

The former India batter went on to say, “As the captain, I understand that there are standards to maintain. But for every standard there is an exception to the rule. Here’s a man who deserves to be an exception, because he’s not just a man who has won you tournaments but also someone who’s beaten cancer, the hardest challenge in life in a sense. How about some cushion room for someone like that? At that time, Virat did not give him that leeway. Yuvraj was told to do the fitness test, and even his request to drop the levels by two points due to his state of being was denied."
