File photo of Virender Sehwag© Instagram Virender Sehwag, known for his witty sense of humour, came up with an epic reply after a Twitter user tried to troll him over a post on Virat Kohli riling up Jonny Bairstow.

How did India’s bowlers manage to avoid the blistering assault suffered by New Zealand during England’s 3-0 whitewash earlier this month? Thanks to their battery of 140kph/87mph-plus seamers, as well as a return to the same bowling plans that had delivered a 2-1 series lead in the first four Tests of the Pataudi Trophy last
India 151 for 3 (Hooda 59, Suryakumar 36*) beat Derbyshire 150 for 8 (Madsen 28, Cartwright 27, Arshdeep 2-29, Umran 2-31) by seven wickets Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik enjoyed bowling time, Deepak Hooda continued his rich run of form, Suryakumar Yadav, returning from injury, had time in the middle and Sanju Samson carried on
Match abandoned Bangladesh 105 for 8 (Shakib 29, Shepherd 3-21) vs West Indies Persistent showers forced a premature end to the first T20I between West Indies and Bangladesh at a refurbished Windsor Park on Saturday.

Mitchell Starc has become the first Australian star to confirm he won’t play in this summer’s Big Bash League as negotiations loom on future player availability. This summer shapes as crucial for the competition out of the Covid-19 pandemic, with Cricket Australia desperate to have as much top-line talent playing as often as possible. Australia’s
New Zealand allrounder Mitchell Santner tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday, and did not fly out to Ireland with the rest of the squad on Sunday evening from Auckland. His departure will be delayed until next week, once he recovers and tests negative. The tour starts with the first ODI on July 10, and Santner
India had the best of a stop-start day, adding 78 with their last three standing wickets and then taking four England wickets by the time they scored 78. On a day that only 39 overs were possible because of rain, India placed one hand firmly on the Pataudi Trophy, to secure which they needed merely

Due to Rohit Sharma’s unavailability for the fifth rescheduled Test against England in Edgbaston, the Indian cricket team got a new captain in Jasprit Bumrah. Devoid of any captaincy experience in First-class, IPL or List-A games, Bumrah became the 36th Test captain of India. Bumrah’s elevation came despite the presence of several senior players in
James Anderson came out in defence of Stuart Broad after his opening partner was on the receiving end of history against India at Edgbaston. Broad experienced the ignominy of conceding a record 35 runs from his 18th over, as India’s tail rallied on day two of this fifth Test to lift their team to a
You’d think an allrounder who averages over 35 with the bat and under 25 with the ball (and takes four wickets per Test) across 60 Tests might not need the validation of a century to boost his confidence. You’d think Ravindra Jadeja might not need that boost of confidence. You’d be wrong. Jadeja’s first Test
As the morning unfolded on Saturday, and England worked their way through India’s lower order, they may have entertained thoughts of restricting India to under 400. The second new ball was only a few overs old, and James Anderson had just dismissed the centurion Ravindra Jadeja. India were 377 for 9 when Stuart Broad began
Wriddhiman Saha, the India wicketkeeper, has parted ways with Bengal, the team he represented in domestic cricket, after a public fallout with a state association official.

Richard Gleeson, the Lancashire seamer, has earned his first full England call-up at the age of 34 and could make his debut in next week’s T20I series against India.

Ashton Agar‘s hopes of an Australian Test recall in Sri Lanka are over after failing to recover from a side strain.

Domestic contracts, one of the first promises of BCCI president Sourav Ganguly upon taking over in November 2019, could soon become a reality for at least Mumbai’s cricketers. A proposal made by Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) president Vijay Patil, in the wake of Mumbai’s excellent showing in the 2021-22 domestic season, has been approved, in

The India vs England rescheduled fifth Test kicked off on Friday at Edgbaston in Birmingham. India were 53/2 when rain forced early lunch and later delayed the start of the second session on the first day of the match. While the temporary interruption in the game forced the players to stay in the dressing a
On Thursday afternoon, Richard Gleeson saw a WhatsApp notification pop up on his phone. Matthew Mott, England’s white-ball coach, had sent him a message saying, “I’m going to give you a ring.” Gleeson turned to his wife, Laura, and said, in a state of shock: “I think I’m about to get picked for England.” He

India 338 for 7 (Pant 146, Jadeja 83*, Anderson 3-52, Potts 2-85) vs England Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell may have left the UK, but the narrative arc they established during New Zealand’s just-concluded Test tour continues to define the 2022 English summer. From the despair of 98 for 5, India roared back through the
Being proactive. Being brave. And embracing the challenge of playing on spinning surfaces. According to captain Pat Cummins, these were the tenets of Australia’s success in Galle, where they crushed Sri Lanka inside two-and-a-half days. Proactive and brave, because Australia had scored at 4.53 in the 70.1 overs they’d batted in the first innings, even
Jos Buttler, England’s new white-ball captain, does not expect to have his best team available to him until two weeks before the T20 World Cup due to fixture congestion. England will play 12 limited-overs internationals – three ODIs and three T20Is against both India and South Africa – in 25 days from July 7, and
Sri Lanka crashed and burned in the second innings, nosediving to 113 all out in 22.5 overs. Four of their top seven fell attempting sweeps or reverse sweeps. And of that top seven, only Dhananjaya de Silva was out not playing and attacking stroke – he left a ball that would have hit leg stump.
