I hope that Mayanti Langer Binny returns to host IPL 2021 (Venue to be decided) as well as ICC World Cup 2021 scheduled to be held in India in October - November, 2021. No one can match Mayanti's hosting ability. East or West, Mayanti is the best. @PathakRidhima @SanjanaGanesan

For a second I thought you're back for the Pink ball test. I hate the word 'throwback.'
Anyways, enjoy your maternity leave @MayantiLanger_B hope to see you back in action in IPL2021.
When you will be back to Anchoring for Star Sports India @MayantiLanger_B are you back for IPL21 may I have your kind of reply for this?

Mayanti Langer baby
Although Langer will not feature as an anchor for India's 3rd Test, she continues to show her love for the game with several of her tweets. Langer has taken maternal leave ever since she was blessed with a baby boy last year. She posted a lovely picture with her husband Stuart Binny and her baby boy.
So I’m going to love watching the IPL @StarSportsIndia all the best to the team 😁 @jatinsapru @suhailchandhok @cricketaakash @SanjanaGanesan @ProfDeano @scottbstyris @BrettLee_58 @Sanjog_G and the full gang!! pic.twitter.com/fZVk0NUbTi

Despite Langer's absence from anchoring, fans are still excited to read her latest tweets, thereby demonstrating the fan following that she has achieved over these years. Moreover, there are many TV presenters who have come in after her but have yet failed to establish themselves. Cricket enthusiasts in India will hope that their beloved anchor returns at the soonest.
India vs England 3rd Test preview
After India's convincing victory against England in the 2nd Test by 317 runs, the four-match Test series is evenly poised. The victory helps India climb to second spot in the ICC World Test Championship standings. The attention now moves towards India vs England 3rd Test, which is all set to take place in the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Despite the hosts clinching a convincing victory in the 2nd Test in Chennai, Virat Kohli may find himself losing his captaincy due to an argument with the umpire. After Menon adjudged England captain Joe Root not out, Kohli took the DRS, which favoured Root because of the umpire's call. Kohli was furious by the decision and expressed his dissatisfaction to Menon. Consequently, he could find himself in trouble with match referee Javagal Srinath and face a one-match ban in the fourth Test on another violation of such kind.
