When County Cricket comes to mind, it might be difficult to think of many – if any – Indian names, but that is changing quickly. India’s busy domestic and international calendar means that a player who can make an impression (and wiggle free) in the English county game must have something special. And now, Sai […]
Mitchell Starc is a unicorn in world cricket—this left-arm, lightning-fast, reverse-swinging magician is all-matching. Of course, while raw pace and brilliant yorkers have been Starc’s calling cards, he has had a journey in the Baggy Green through resilience, adaptation, and ultimately clutch performance. With Starc nearing his 100th Test game in Jamaica, it is a […]
Lord’s. The home of cricket, the main event, the greenish mirage that you don’t always get! As India prepares for the 3rd Test of the 2025 ENG vs IND series, it’s not who’s in the XI that’s being discussed, but who’s out!

Let’s be real—seeing Mitchell Starc take the field for his 100th Test in Jamaica feels like the closing scene of a legendary chapter. Eleven years after his debut, Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins have been the pace battery of Australian cricket, consistently, passionately and, of course, taking at least one tonne of wickets each.

Wanindu Hasaranga—the glue of Sri Lanka’s white-ball bowling unit—is, officially, sidelined for the T20I series against Bangladesh. It felt like some lad just threw me an overhead bouncer! The hamstring damage he did to […]
It has been a long, arduous journey back. But Jofra Archer is ready to put the whites back on, and where better to start than the Home of Cricket—Lord’s. The paceman is back in England’s Test XI after four and a half years as a player in and out of the Test, only confirmed just […]
Lord’s. Just saying the name. That is half the excitement. It is a place where everything seems to be worth more; every run, every wicket seems to be more of a drama! And for Indian cricket fans, there is a sort of romance, especially when one of our players takes to the hallowed turf! With […]
You’re sitting pretty on 367, just 34 runs shy of matching Brian Lara’s legendary 400. The records are within touching distance—and the stage is all yours. The opposition is up against the wall, there is no time factor, and you’re in total control. And then, you walk off. That is exactly what Wiaan Mulder […]
Imagine this—you’re a breakout star in the world’s biggest cricket league, and yet, your local T20 league pays you more than the IPL. Sounds backward, right? But that’s exactly what’s happened with Digvesh Rathi. The young leggie, who made heads turn during IPL 2025, has just landed a fat INR 38 lakh deal with South […]
