"Can't Excuse": Ponting's Slams Australia Batters After Meltdown vs Bangladesh

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has hit out at the hosts' batters following a dismal day one performance against Bangladesh in the ongoing first Test, adding that their early season rustiness meant they were outplayed and outwitted by the visitors' bowling line-up. Australia were bowled out for a paltry 198 after opting to bat first, with Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud tearing through the lineup with figures of 6-55. Now with Bangladesh's lead crossing 150, it meant the focus is back on Australia's shoddy batting performance, where barring Steve Smith (71), no one made a notable contribution. "There was a lot of early-season rustiness, they haven't played for a long time, but you can't excuse some of the technical issues and flaws we saw from the top order in particular. I was surprised Australia actually chose to bat, especially with Bangladesh coming off just 54 in the warm-up game. “The Australian seamers on that wicket yesterday morning would ...

Watch: Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma Play Badminton. Internet Impressed

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are one star couple who are always in the spotlight. While Kohli is a superstar cricketer, Anushka is an acclaimed actor. Kohli has often said how Anushka has been a pillar of strength for him.  He recently opened up on his struggles and how his wife and actor Anushka Sharma helped him. "When you go back from a space like this. It's easy immediately to go like 'ah, everything is so good and it's okay'. That's why I say Anushka's name first because she has seen the challenges of being in this position. She knows it. She has been there for so many years. She knows what it takes to handle public pressure. So, her conversations with me has always been priceless. She tells me the truth, simple," Virat Kohli said in a conversation with ex-CSK star Robin Uthappa on Jio Cinema. Anushka can often be spotted supporting Kohli from the stands. She has been present in several recent IPL matches too.

Now, the two celebrities were spotted playing badminton in a promotional event for PUMA. 

The star couple got married in 2017 and are now proud parents to a daughter. The duo can often be seen together in events and TV ads. Their first meeting was at the shoot for a TV commercial too. However, the confident man that he is on the cricket field, Virat Kohli has now revealed that he was 'shivering' with nervousness before meeting Anushka for the first time in 2013. He even said that in his nervousness he also made some awkward statement.

"I remember it was 2013. I had just been named the captain for the Zimbabwe Tour, I was excited. Then my manager called up about a TV commercial. He told me that I was shooting with Anushka Sharma. She was a well-established, one of the top actors. As soon as I heard that, I was shivering. I was so nervous. I was so, so tensed before walking on the set (of the ad shoot in 2013). I was thinking 'how am I going to say hi to her? What am I going to say?'. I was so completely out of it. I went there 5 minutes before her. I did not realise how tall she was. Out of my nervousness...First thing I told her, she was wearing a decent-high heels. The first tithing I told her when I saw her heel was 'Didn't you get anything higher to wear?'," Kohli said on a chat show with AB de Villiers on Three Sixty YouTube channel.
