Kane Williamson’s cricketing story has always been one of elegant restraint, the quiet genius who let his bat and temperament do the talking. But at 35, even serenity has its tests. As he returns to New Zealand duty after months away and with the 2027 ODI World Cup “at the back of his mind,” Williamson […]
Kane Williamson’s cricketing story has always been one of elegant restraint, the quiet genius who let his bat and temperament do the talking. But at 35, even serenity has its tests. As he returns to New Zealand duty after months away and with the 2027 ODI World Cup “at the back of his mind,” Williamson […]
For nearly two years, Cooper Connolly was the embodiment of Australian cricket’s eternal gamble on talent over track record. A 22-year-old with a pretty arc, a calm smile, and no domestic hundreds was somehow handed caps in all three formats. Critics wondered if the selectors had mistaken “potential” for “production.” Thirteen internationals later, Connolly’s averages […]
Even on a cool Friday evening, the Sydney Cricket Ground still buzzed with Indian supporters lingering, hopeful, and tactfully disobedient of the security staff. Why? Because a last sight of the likes of Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma on Australian soil is always bigger than a net, by the time India got into Sydney for […]
As they say, cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties, but at times, it is not the aspect of thrill that matters; it is the timing that matters the most. The journey of India in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 has been planned out in the same beautiful way. After starting the tournament […]
Australia’s national cricket selection committee has a difficult job balancing white ball duties with red ball readiness as they prepare for a home Ashes in Australia; With Glenn Maxwell returning from a broken wrist, the T20I series against India will have an added spark of fireworks, however, with the addition of 20 year old Mahli […]
Ravindra Jadeja’s choice to wear Saurashtra whites again is not merely a warm-up before the Tour of South Africa. It is a reminder, perhaps even a message, that first-class cricket still matters to the big names in Indian cricket. At 36, with 250-plus international caps, Jadeja could have chosen the easy options of gym sessions […]
At times, cricket may provide displays that are impossible to capture by the scorecard, a performance that is full of brilliance but is completely concealed by the figures. For example, Josh Hazlewood took on 10 overs in Adelaide and gave up 29 runs; no wicket, no celebration, no video highlights. It was, however, this type […]
When a partnership starts looking inevitable, you know you’re watching something historic. India’s 340 for 3 against New Zealand in Navi Mumbai wasn’t just a batting exhibition; it was a declaration of evolution. From the very first over, Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal seemed less like openers and more like synchronized architects. Their 212-run stand […]
Every IPL season brings a new “homecoming” rumor that tugs at nostalgia more than logic, and Washington Sundar to the Chennai Super Kings fits that bill perfectly. Tamil Nadu’s own boy wearing yellow again? It sells headlines. But if CSK fans step back from the emotion, they’ll see this trade could disrupt more than it […]
Pressure doesn’t knock it barges in when you’ve lost three on the bounce. India’s women, despite flashes of brilliance, have somehow turned winnable matches into painful lessons. Five games in, and the one word that defines them isn’t “dominance” or “momentum,” it’s “experimentation.” Constant changes in combinations have left the side looking more like a […]
