In franchise cricket news, Rashid Khan has been appointed captain of Mumbai Indians (MI) Cape Town, while Rinku Singh is ready to captain Kolkata Knight Riders. The drama between Prithvi Shaw and the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has intensified. A politician has written to India’s Sports Minister to honour Ravichandran Ashwin with the Khel Ratna Award. And lastly, captaincy emotionally broke Virat Kohli to such a point that he would cry in his room after tough losses on away tours.

The same happened to his successor, Virat Kohli. Batting and scoring runs were easy for both, but captaincy wasn’t. In a podcast, Varun Dhawan revealed an incident from the 2018 England tour, which India lost 1-4. Anushka Sharma once came back to their room and found Kohli lying on the floor crying.
Prithvi Shaw vs MCA continues
The drama isn’t dying down. The Prithvi Shaw against MCA is growing day by day. December 20 started with an MCA official claiming that senior players in Mumbai’s team weren’t happy with the opener and that he was partying until the morning during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The day ended with Prithvi replying to these claims, writing, “Too many people have full opinions with half the facts.”

Ashwin could become just the sixth cricketer to be honoured with the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award. Vijay Vasanth, a Congress MP from Tamil Nadu, has written to Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Mansukh Mandaviya regarding felicitating the recently retired cricketer.
