Think of losing nearly everything you love—your profession, your movement, your cadence—with just one moment in time on a highway somewhere. For a lot of people, a brush with death amounts to a full stop. The road accident he suffered on December 30, 2022, could have finished it all. And yet, here he is in […]

When R Ashwin talks, cricket fans listen. And this time, he’s not holding back. After India’s gutsy draw in the fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Ashwin has stirred the pot with some bold—but brutally honest—questions about India’s team selection. Specifically, why pick bowlers like Shardul Thakur and Anshul Kamboj if you don’t trust them […]
Every cricket lover has heard or seen AB de Villiers (a.k.a. the 360-degree genius, RCB legend, and the man who could turn any delivery into a boundary) by now. While there is no debate that AB is a tremendous cricket machine, what has gone viral, however, is a wholesome moment that he had during an […]
In most cases, when a Test match goes the full five days and ends in a draw, you welcome a sigh of relief, shake hands, and move on. But the Test match at Manchester between India and England in July 2025 did not do anything to really follow that path. After knocking off most of […]
And the Brits weren’t even the only ones at the inaugural Women’s T20 Blast – the Aussies showed up, swinging their bats and spinning their balls, and commanded attention. From Grace Harris’ match-winning whack Tion, to Alana King’s spinning spin witchery. This season really showed how much Australian presence can be felt in different contexts. […]
Every cricketer dreams of a Test cap. But few expect the dream to sneak up while they’re just bowling at teammates in a practice session.

The talk is legitimate. All because of Joe Root—the batting genius of England—who just scored his 38th Test hundred. With 13,409 runs and […]
If you’re a cricket fan, particularly so if you appreciate an epic Test series, you know there’s a special feel about a batter going big over a series. It isn’t just about getting a quick fifty or flashy hundred; it’s about earning it, showing endurance, showcasing stamina, skill, and mental fortitude over matches, and this […]
Accumulating 1,000 Test runs in one country is already hard to accomplish. Adding also to take 30 wickets in that same country? Even harder. Being able to do both overseas and not even in your home country? That’s an exclusive club. Recently, Ravindra Jadeja now sits in this club along with Wilfred Rhodes and Sir […]
If you’ve been keeping up with Bangladesh cricket, you know the Tigers have talent — no surprise there. But when it comes to the essential skill of power-hitting in white-ball cricket, they often lack the finishing touch to dominate the shorter formats. Hold tight, as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) unveils a smart new tactic. […]
When discussing Jasprit Bumrah, you think of words like “lethal,” “clinical,” and “world-class.” Bumrah has been the best all-format pacer for India in this century. He has been deadly with the new ball, dangerous with the old ball, and perfected reverse swing. Yet, even the best can be human. In Test cricket, with every over […]
