Many have forgotten Martin Crowe. Considered the greatest Test batter New Zealand has produced, his legacy seems forgotten. Wasim Akram still rates Crowe as perhaps the toughest batter he bowled to and the first to crack the reverse swing code of the two WWs. Two years before he left this world, Crowe coined the term […]

Cheteshwar Pujara finally announced his retirement on Sunday, after being repeatedly ignored from the Test side for two years. His last match for India came during the 2023 WTC final, and the wait only grew from there. His absence was felt in the IND vs NZ series and then the IND vs AUS series that

Without any doubt, MS Dhoni is India’s best-ever wicket-keeper batter. No one would ever dispute that. But when it comes to pure keeping brilliance, there is perhaps one man in India, who might just come a notch above legendary Dhoni as well. And that is Wriddhiman Saha. The former Bengal keeper was a bowler’s delight,

India’s fielding coach from August 2014 to November 2021, R Sridhar, has given insight into how MS Dhoni approached wicketkeeping during his Team India days. Sridhar, who joined the National Cricket Academy (now Centre of Excellence) in 2011, saw Dhoni from up close and revealed that he didn’t do wicketkeeping practice for more than a

India’s top four for the Asia Cup opener against the UAE seems settled. Abhishek Sharma will open with vice-captain Shubman Gill. Tilak Varma and captain Suryakumar Kumar at three and four. That leaves the positions of five to eight. We don’t know who will bat at which position, but it’s safe to assume that Axar

Just about everyone is tired reading various, non-reliable reports on Sanju Samson’s IPL trade deals, either with CSK or then, with KKR. Neither seem to fructify, since it seems, the RR management are not content with the players they are getting in return. After all Samson is one of those players, when on song, can

One of the worst days in South Africa’s ODI history. The Proteas were bundled out for 69 runs while batting first in 1993, but this defeat is right up there when it comes to an all-time low result. For South African fans, the feeling of déjà vu hit as Australia scored 431 runs, just three

India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been impressive in his performances in the shortest format for quite some time now, but India comeback looks slightly difficult at this point of time. In the IPL 2025, he played a pivotal role in RCB lifting their maiden title, where he picked up 17 wickets in 14 matches, with

Venkatesh Prasad giving a send-off to Aamer Sohail might come to your mind when thinking about India and Pakistan facing off. The incident happened in the 1996 ODI World Cup quarterfinal. These fiery encounters were the norm for long. But in the last decade or so, we hardly see any moments like these in the

Just a day after England’s Jonathan Trott left his role as the head coach of the Pretoria Capitals in the SA20, just a year after his joining, Sourav Ganguly has been named the replacement. Trott had taken over the team before the 2025 season, and failed to make it to the playoffs, registering only two
