There’s something quietly poetic about India’s domestic cricket scene; every Ranji Trophy season doubles as both a proving ground and a redemption arc. The second round of the Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season didn’t just produce performances; it produced statements. While Bengal, under the relentless roar of Eden Gardens, racked up its second successive win, India’s […]

India’s T20 bowling puzzle in Canberra feels less like a team selection and more like a philosophical test. Do they double down on spin, which history at Manuka Oval subtly favors? Or do they trust pace depth to balance Bumrah’s shoulders now that Hardik Pandya’s missing? One choice leans toward tactical prudence; the other risks […]
For years, the fearless Indian T-20 batting unit has capitalized on that fearlessness to excel. However, no one has ever looked as natural with explosive hitting as India’s 24-year-old left-handed Abhishek Sharma does. Since Abhishek was the top run scorer at the 2025 Asia Cup with 314 runs from 157 balls (Strike Rate of 200), […]
Some mysteries mock human reason: dark matter, time travel, and now, how to beat Australian women in an ODI. In the last five years, the world’s best sides have thrown everything at them: fresh analytics, funky fielding drills, and even the occasional rain dance, and yet the scoreboard barely flinches. Let’s put that supremacy […]
There’s being “in form,” and then there’s being in the zone, that surreal mental groove where batting looks less like survival and more like art. The numbers are absurd: over 2000 ODI runs since June 2024, averaging 62.84 with a strike rate of 105.12, feats no woman has ever achieved in such a span. […]
At its worst, Cricket is good at disappearing heroes at the wrong time for the team. In particular, for Team India, it may be that nightmare scenario that is taking place with Pratika Rawal’s possible knee & ankle injury from an attempted heroic save vs Bangladesh on October 26. Fans and the Indian team’s management […]
Virat Kohli achieved much more than simply scoring his first run at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) as he celebrated this momentous occasion with an ear-to-ear smile, which seemed to illuminate the SCG. The cricket community breathed a sigh of relief after Kohli suffered back to back duck dismissals in the first two one day […]
Australia’s T20 revival has dominated the cricketing conversation this year, but an extended winning run can be derailed by one loss at the right time. Although Australia (Mitch Marsh) has won just one T20I in their last eleven and is the first team to take such an approach to T20I after consecutive World Cup group […]
There’s something quietly revolutionary about Gudakesh Motie. In an era obsessed with wrist spin, mystery balls, and bowling data dashboards, here’s a Guyanese left-armer doing something nearly extinct, turning the ball both ways with the same hand. Yes, both ways. One delivery drifts in like Jadeja’s, the next rips away like a left-arm wristie. That’s […]
When a 38-year-old batsman walks into an ODI series with whispers about his future echoing around, you don’t expect him to finish with a Player of the Series medal. But Rohit Sharma doesn’t do predictable. Down under, he wasn’t just batting, he was time-traveling. The flicks, the late cuts, the effortless lofts, all of it […]
