English cricket is experiencing an unusual paradox today. England beat Australia at the MCG on their own for the first time since they won there in January 2011; however, they have lost the Ashes in only 11 grueling days. The win brought relief, but it did not bring redemption. In this awkward moment between celebrating […]

Raza’s 3 wickets for 27 in the victory of Paarl Royals over MI Cape Town by just one run had an importance that went beyond the number itself; he took a diving catch while running back toward the field on a windy day at Newlands; he also produced a five-wicket collapse with nine runs off […]
The South African team’s experience with the ICC tournament has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for years, brilliant, heartbreaking, and always a “what if” at the end of each match. And while they are getting ready to take on their next challenge at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in India […]
T20 cricket has a cruel sense of irony. One night, you’re unsold at an IPL auction with a ₹75 lakh base price. Next, you’re staring down Jos Buttler in a Super Over with a packed SA20 crowd holding its breath. That was Richard Gleeson on January 1, 2026, and the contrast could not have been […]
It is somewhat unsettling in a quiet way that India is traveling to Bangladesh, and this has nothing to do with their ranking. On paper, India is dominant. In reality, based on history, what would normally be easy trips for Indian teams have become mental puzzles in Bangladesh. Losing two consecutive one-day international series there […]
The end of India’s T20I schedule in 2025 left the team at an impressive 71.42% win rate in T20Is (15-6 in 21), but the focus shifted to the batting depth and the ability to get runs in the last overs of T20s. However, if you go back one level further, the true game-changer was spin. […]
Cricket has always had a cruel sense of timing. Just when you’re written off as an IPL afterthought, domestic cricket taps you on the shoulder sometimes with a sledgehammer. Sarfaraz Khan’s 157 off 75 balls in the Vijay Hazare Trophy wasn’t just a big score; it was a public service announcement. Fourteen sixes, nine fours, […]
A certain nostalgia surrounds retirement at the SCG – The Harbour Breeze blowing over you; watching the pink sunset as it sets low on the horizon, and feeling the History of Cricket humming through your spikes. Usman Khawaja has earned this Farewell. He is retiring from International Cricket after 87 Tests for Australia (6,206 Runs), […]
In Indian cricket, there have been many stars who sell jerseys, appear on billboards, and are considered safe bets for fans to bet on. However, the Indian cricket ecosystem is slowly tipping toward the less glamorous yet more vital roles. The IPL is no longer just an opportunity for players to show their talent but […]
Cricket rarely provides clear conclusions to a player’s career. Most legends fade, grow old, or simply disappear. However, Virat Kohli, as expected, did neither in 2025. Rather than fade, grow old, or exist, he treated 2025 like a greatest hits collection released after announcing his retirement from Test cricket. Kohli announced he would retire […]
There are withdrawals, and then there are structural tremors. Ellyse Perry pulling out of WPL 2026 firmly belongs to the latter category. When a player who once felt like RCB’s entire batting insurance policy suddenly disappears, the ripple effects travel far beyond a team sheet. Perry wasn’t just RCB’s leading run-scorer in their 2024 title […]
