Now and then, an innings arrives that feels far heavier than its numerical value. Quinton de Kock’s unbeaten 123 in Faisalabad was exactly that, not just a hundred, but a reminder that ODI cricket still bows to players who can seize a game by the throat. Pakistan’s 269/9 looked workable until De Kock and Tony […]

Indian cricket rarely has “peaceful weeks,” and this Australia series has been no exception. Suryakumar Yadav, the world’s most inventive T20 batter, suddenly finds himself in that odd twilight zone where he’s batting well without scoring big. It’s the sort of paradox that only cricket and perhaps Mumbai traffic can produce. SKY scored 84 […]
Every IPL team usually gets one bad season. Lucknow Super Giants just had two. After back-to-back playoff misses and a limp, sixth-win campaign in IPL 2025, LSG have finally reached the uncomfortable conclusion every underachieving franchise faces: something big has to change, and fast. Enter Tom Moody, the most solution-oriented cricket brain you hire […]
There’s a strange duality to this Ashes build-up. Australia looks old but dangerous. England looks aggressive but untested where it matters. And as both squads land in Perth, one searching for stability, the other addicted to acceleration, you get the feeling this series could swing wildly from brilliance to chaos in a matter of sessions. […]
The Women’s Premier League just hit its first true moment of disruption, and it’s deliciously chaotic. For three years, teams treated retentions like a comfort blanket, carrying forward most of their squads and making only polite, cosmetic changes at mini-auctions. But the 2026 mega auction? That’s a full-frontal reset. For the first time, franchises could […]
Each IPL season is met with a familiar query: “Will MS Dhoni play in the next season?” The 44-year-old player, who has become synonymous with the identity of Chennai Super Kings, now appears to be at the crossroads of being an icon of the game and an elder statesman. For the die-hard CSK supporters, the […]
Afghanistan and the West Indies will face each other in a three-match T20 International series ahead of the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in the United Arab Emirates. This is, on the surface, just a pre-tournament “warm-up,” however, there is much more going on at this level of competition. Afghanistan has recently finished […]
The Women’s Premier League was supposed to be the one corner of cricket where logic prevailed. Keep your match-winners, trim the excess, and walk into the auction with confidence. Instead, WPL 2026’s retention list looks like five franchises collectively decided, Let’s shake the table. Seventeen players retained. Dozens released. And not just fringe names, […]
Each time India travels to South Africa to play a Test match series, there are always two major questions that have been hanging over their heads, such as the clouds that gather later on in the afternoon at Centurion: Who can survive the new ball storm, and who can get left behind by the selectors? […]
Every IPL cycle gifts us one retention rumour that feels less like strategy and more like self-sabotage. This year, SunRisers Hyderabad has embraced that role with surprising enthusiasm. The whispers around the circuit hint at SRH preparing to release Heinrich Klaasen, their most consistent middle-order presence in three seasons, only to buy him back in […]
