Sunil Gavaskar was surprised that Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson didn’t turn up for the trophy presentation of the England-India Test series. This series used to be called the Pataudi Trophy but they changed the name to Tendulkar and Anderson. But neither Tendulkar nor Anderson was present to hand over the trophy to the captains. Gavaskar feels that since the series is named after Tendulkar and Anderson, they should have been there to give the trophy to the captains. He is wondering why the England and Wales Cricket Board, the organisers of the event, didn’t invite these cricket legends after…

It looks like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s ODI career is murkier than ever. After stepping away from Test cricket in May 2025 and T20Is in June 2024, it seemed like ODIs would be their sole focus. But a report from Dainik Jagran suggests they might end their international careers after the ODI series against Australia. The report even mentioned that if Kohli and Rohit want to be considered for the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, they might have to play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy to prove their fitness and commitment. Former Indian opener Aakash…

David Warner’s London Spirit may not have won but he’s moved past Virat Kohli as a T20 run-scorer after his 71 against the Manchester Originals in The Hundred. Warner needed 70 to get into the Top 5. He got 71 and is now on 13,545 runs in 418 innings, ahead of Kohli. If Warner scores 27 in his next Spirit game he’ll jump to 4th place and surpass Pakistan’s Shoaib Malik (13,571). Warner must be gutted his innings didn’t lead to a Spirit win. The Originals won a high scoring game at Old Trafford by 10 runs. Warner’s T20 record…

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has had a busy summer. After his good show in IPL earlier this year, the 14-year-old continued to do well in India’s U-19 tour of England. When he came back home, he practiced with Rajasthan Royals. Then BCCI called him to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru on August 10. According to MyKhel, Vaibhav will undergo a special training program by BCCI, working on skills and game situations.

Recently Ashwin spoke about a possible IPL trade that might involve him and Sanju Samson switching teams for 2026 season. This all started after reports said Samson wanted RR to either release him or trade him before the mini-auction. Reports also said Ashwin might be leaving CSK and CSK is interested in Samson which led to the trade idea. Ashwin said this was the first time he played only 9 out of 14 league games for CSK. He was used to playing in almost every game for his previous teams so this was a new experience. He asked CSK to…

Mohammed Shami’s career has been marred by injuries every now and then because of which he wasn’t picked for the five-Test series against England due to fitness issues. Reports say the BCCI selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, spoke to Shami before picking the squad. Shami wasn’t sure about his fitness. Selectors are also looking at younger fast bowlers so Shami’s comeback depends on a few things. Shami hasn’t played Test cricket since the 2023 World Test Championship final against Australia. He was out of cricket for months due to injury and returned to cricket last October. He played domestic…

Sanju Samson might be leaving Rajasthan Royals because they might be thinking of making Riyan Parag captain. Reports were out before that Samson was thinking of going to another team. Cricbuzz says Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s good performance as openers has pushed Samson to the No. 3 spot which he doesn’t want. On his YouTube channel, Badrinath said this could be the reason why Samson might leave the team where he has played for 10 years. If Samson joins CSK, he can take MS Dhoni’s place. Samson can bat at top 3 or 4. He’s not suitable for 5…

With the Test series done and dusted and the men’s team not playing till the Asia Cup next month, Indian cricket has some time to regroup and figure out how to make the team better. For long, Indian cricket has been trying to maintain its status by sending teams to other full member countries, where those countries earn money from broadcasting and ticket sales. While the experienced players rest during these tours, others trying to secure their spots face another tour, even when they need a break. After a good Test series against England, Shubman Gill could have taken a…

Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar and Sandeep Patil used to play in the Dr HD Kanga Cricket League when they were in town. But most of today’s Mumbai based India cricketers don’t do the same. Sarfaraz wasn’t picked by BCCI for the five-Test series against England but he got attention for his hard work to be fit, scoring 61 off 42 balls for Parkophone Cricketers against Islam Gymkhana. He wants to get back in the Indian team and even mentioned Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar in his message to Mumbai cricketers. Playing for Parkophene Cricketers against Islam Gymkhana, Sarfaraz batted at…
