Gautam Gambhir has made it clear what he expects from the Shubman Gill led team as they prepare for the 5 match Test series against England. With Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin not part of the team, the team has a tough task ahead. Historically India has not done well in England but Gambhir wants the new players to focus on the opportunity rather than who’s not in the team. In a BCCI video, Gambhir told his players they have two options: dwell on the three experienced players missing or see it as a great chance to do…

The World Test Championship is being held at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in England. South Africa’s captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and chose to have Australia bat first. Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja started the innings but couldn’t get a single run in the first three overs. Then Kagiso Rabada rocked Australia by taking two wickets in his first over, sending Khawaja (0) and Cameron Green (0) back to the pavilion in the 7th over. After losing those two wickets for just 16 runs, Labuschagne tried to steady things with Steve Smith but Marco Jansen struck again, getting…

India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel has dismissed concerns about Jasprit Bumrah not being match ready for the England tour due to his limited IPL outings. “Bumrah knows how to get himself ready.

He’s happy that Bumrah’s body is in good shape and they will manage his workload well as he’s key to the team’s success. Morkel feels the team has made good choices for the squad. “I think we’ve got everything covered but we need…

Australia had a horror start to the 2025 World Test Championship final at Lord’s on June 11. After being asked to bat first, they were bowled out for 212 just after Tea. Kagiso Rabada was on fire, taking 5 wickets, and his mate Marco Jansen added 3 more, including the big wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head. Rabada finished with 5 for 51, Jansen 3 for 49, the lowest first innings total in a WTC final for Australia. India held the record previously with 217 in 2021 before losing to New Zealand. Australia were a little worse off this…

The BCCI will discuss new rules for IPL victory celebrations at their 28th Apex Council Meeting on Saturday.

Virat Kohli should have got a proper send off from Test cricket, feels Ravi Shastri. Shastri shared his thoughts in a promo for a TV special on Kohli’s Test career and his captaincy during India’s tough tour of England in 2021. He even said he would have brought him back as captain after India’s poor show in Australia earlier this year. On June 11, SonyLiv released a 30-second promo for the show “Bharat Tum Chale Chalo, Kahani 21-22 ki.” With the Indian team gearing up for a five-Test series in England later this month, the show will have the behind-the-scenes…

After getting Australia back in the game on Day 1 of the ICC World Test Championship final against South Africa at Lord’s, Steve Smith talked about his dismissal and what’s to come. Smith scored 66 off 112 balls, which was a big help in getting Australia from 67/4 to 212 in their first innings. After the game, he joked about the mistake that got him out. Don’t nick the part-time off-spinner. Down the slope. I’m still trying to work out how I managed that. But yeah, don’t do that, Smith said about getting out to part-time spinner Aiden Markram. Known…
