As we head into another week of intense cricketing action across the world, our very own Royal Challengers have an exciting week lined up ahead of them. With loads of cricket to be played from one end of the world to another, here is a rundown of where you would find our RCB stars in action. 

In the international circuit, India and Australia are duking it out for their respective glories where the former is lined up against West Indies while the vintage Ashes is rocking the English shores. The Aussie women will also be testing their flair and depth in a couple of ODIs against an incipient Ireland. With the Deodhar Trophy and the Major League Cricket continuing in full bloom, expect all sorts of cricket entertainment to light up your days.

International:

Virat Kohli and Mohammed Siraj:

The duo of Virat Kohli and Mohammed Siraj are in fine touch in the ongoing bilateral affair against West Indies away from home. Kohli has already amassed a century in the second Test while it was Mohammed Siraj’s fifer that set the stage for a marvellous turnaround from India. Apart from the final day’s action of the second Test on Day 5, they will be back in action for India’s first ODI against West Indies.
