What do you do when you score 330 in a World Cup match and still lose? That was India’s cruel reality as Australia hunted down their towering total with almost casual audacity. What looked like a defining moment for India’s batting evolution turned into a masterclass in controlled chaos from the Aussies. It wasn’t just […]
What do you do when you score 330 in a World Cup match and still lose? That was India’s cruel reality as Australia hunted down their towering total with almost casual audacity. What looked like a defining moment for India’s batting evolution turned into a masterclass in controlled chaos from the Aussies. It wasn’t just […]
Who would have believed – the team that had been bowled out for 69 runs in their opening match in the tournament now stands as one of the most confident batting sides in the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025? South Africa’s metamorphosis, a thirty-to-one to one from spin victims to spin survivors, has been dazzling. […]
Every Ashes cycle has that one underrated subplot, the bowler England dismisses too soon. In 2023, it was Scott Boland. The same man who once dismantled England’s batting with surgical precision in Melbourne was suddenly deemed “figured out.” But here’s the twist: while England’s Bazballers boast about cracking the code, Australia quietly believes the algorithm […]
Every time Rashid Khan bowls to Bangladesh, it feels less like a cricket match and more like a recurring nightmare. The Afghan magician doesn’t just dismiss batters; he disorients them. But here’s the irony: Rashid isn’t even spinning the ball extravagantly. So why do Bangladesh’s batters keep losing their composure? Spin bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed […]
Every Ranji season has its own subplot, but for Bengal, this one starts in the physio room. Mukesh Kumar’s hamstring and Shahbaz Ahmed’s shoulder aren’t just injury notes; they’re reminders of how fragile momentum can be in Indian domestic cricket. Bengal’s two most trusted workhorses from recent years are sidelined, leaving a vacuum that statistics […]
For years, 300 was the mythical mountain in women’s ODIs, the kind of score that made captains sleep easy. On Sunday in Visakhapatnam, India, they scaled that peak and planted their flag at 330. Then Alyssa Healy and Co. climbed higher, danced on top, and waved back. Australia didn’t just chase history; they redefined it, […]
Cricket’s defining rivalries have different colours through the various epochs. For decades, it was India vs Pakistan or England vs Australia, or Tendulkar vs Warne. A new soap opera is now unfolding in women’s cricket, scripted in high definition and high stakes: India vs Australia. Whenever they clash on the world stage, pandemonium descends, legends […]
When the Chennai Super Kings miss the playoffs, the first thing to follow is always a purge. Suddenly, proven all-rounders become expendable, “future plans” start trending, and nostalgia for Dhoni’s final act overshadows balance sheets. But if reports are true that Sam Curran could be released ahead of IPL 2026, the bigger question is this: […]
Bangladesh’s Women’s World Cup began with a bang, a win over Pakistan giving way to an air of calm assurance and growing belief. Since then, that belief has been smashed by successive collapses. This looked to be a team set to rock the boat in the top four is now wobbling under the heavy burden […]
When someone has 11,000+ ODI runs, three double hundreds to his name, and a batting style made for bounce and pace, it is never easy to say goodbye. But with Shubman Gill taking over the captaincy chores in ODIs, has the whispering of Rohit Sharma’s international dusk started? What if it was not the end […]
So, when Shubman Gill held aloft his bat again in Delhi for another century, it was not only his own triumph. It was a statement of intent about an era. Five Test hundreds in a year, running to the fact that he captained India for the first time this season, is not supposed to come […]
