Rishabh Pant vs Urvashi Rautela among top 5 biggest talking points from 2022 - In Pics

In the Asia Cup 2022, Virat Kohli came back afresh from a break and smashed abundance of runs. In the last match vs Afghanistan, he scored 122 not out, which was his 71st international ton, that came after a gap of almost 3 years. 

That six made headlines. It came out of the blue and at a time when it was least expected. In a tense chase when India required 28 off 8 balls, Haris Rauf, one of India's top bowlers came to bowl and Kohli smashed a six on the front foot against the pace of Rauf which sent fans into a tizzy, that six became viral on the internet and most watched video on the internet. 

Virat Kohli stepped down as Test captain after he was put under pressure by BCCI president Sourav Ganguly. A cold war was on between Kohli and Ganguly and eventually Kohli was asked to quit as ODI captain. He had already quit as T20I captain. But Kohli said he did not want to continue as Test captain as well and resigned from the post in January, which became a big talking point among fans.

The term Bazball came about when England started playing Test cricket under captaincy of Ben Stokes and new coach Brendon McCullum. The term 'Bazball' was coined because McCullum's nickname is Baz and England started played his brand of aggressive cricket. England trended the term with win vs India and then South Africa before they smashed Pakistan in Pakistan to make history. 

This is one clash that no one expected to come about. Urvashi made big claims that Pant waited for her for almost a day at a hotel and was in love with him. Pant asked her to shut her mouth and leave him in peace but Urvashi called her 'chotu bhaiya' and the war of words continued. The actress then followed Pant to Asia Cup and then to Australia as well where the T20 World Cup was held.
