Sri Lanka’s T20 leadership story has quietly circled back to a familiar address. Just months after Charith Asalanka was handed the reins as part of a post-2024 World Cup refresh, Dasun Shanaka is once again the man steering the ship at least until the upcoming T20 World Cup ends. On paper, it looks like […]
Sri Lanka’s T20 leadership story has quietly circled back to a familiar address. Just months after Charith Asalanka was handed the reins as part of a post-2024 World Cup refresh, Dasun Shanaka is once again the man steering the ship at least until the upcoming T20 World Cup ends. On paper, it looks like […]
For many years, it seemed almost impossible to imagine viewing an image of Mumbai without Rohit Sharma, as it would be equally difficult to envision a Marine Drive sunrise without the sea. However, that is now a reality. With the start of the 2025–26 Vijay Hazare Trophy, the Mumbai roster seems to have two sides […]
The IPL auction is a very romantic event in many ways, as franchises claim they have “moved on” and fans claim they do not care at all, but each time the paddle comes up for a former franchise player, the past instantly takes control of team decision-making. The IPL 2026 Abu Dhabi auction was filled […]
Fast bowling, especially in T20 cricket, has a short memory and an even shorter fuse. One night you’re unplayable; the next, you’re trending for all the wrong reasons. Arshdeep Singh knows this better than most. After conceding 54 runs in four overs at Mullanpur, the kind of spell that haunts group chats, the Indian left-armer […]
At the IPL 2026 auction, Chennai Super Kings made their usual impression at the IPL 2026 auction creating a loud distraction while winning quietly on the margins. As news outlets were making a big deal about how two young Indian players received an astonishing price of ₹14.20 crore each, Chennai Super Kings made another quiet, […]
On occasions, Test Cricket can lose its focus on Runs, Wickets, and Tactics and become an issue of Endurance. Day 8 in this Ashes series was one of those days. For most of that day, Ben Stokes had been battling with no support from his teammates. At Adelaide Oval, he faced Mitchell Starc’s short-pitched deliveries […]
Cricket has a strange sense of humor. On a sunlit afternoon in Adelaide, one of Australia’s most polite, unassuming cricketers quietly nudged himself past one of the most intimidating fast bowlers the game has known while that very legend pretended to smash a chair on live television. Nathan Lyon overtaking Glenn McGrath’s Test wicket tally […]
The IPL auction has always been a theatre of extremes: vision versus panic, restraint versus bravado. But the 2026 IPL Auction in Abu Dhabi didn’t just raise eyebrows; it rewrote spending psychology. Seventy-seven players sold, Cameron Green smashing records at ₹25.20 crore, and two uncapped Indians crossing the ₹14 crore mark. This wasn’t just inflation; […]
At one point in time, it felt as though South Africa passing 300 in women’s ODIs represented a significant statement. However, now that number represents a very small part of their aspirations. When Laura Wolvaardt left the field with a 124 that she will be remembered for, the score reflected more than merely dominance; […]
There’s something quietly poetic about a Bangladesh captain walking into the indoor nets not with a bat, but with questions. Najmul Hossain Shanto, fresh off his most productive Test year yet, didn’t seek louder drills or newer analytics. Instead, he went looking for memory, the kind stored in muscle, scar tissue, and survival instinct. […]
There’s a familiar illusion about Chennai Super Kings at IPL auctions: they never panic, they never chase noise, and somehow they always leave the room looking smarter than everyone else. The IPL 2026 mini-auction in Abu Dhabi followed that script but with a twist. CSK walked in with a healthy ₹43.40 crore purse and […]
