The 14-year-old cricket sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been in the limelight ever since he was bought by Rajasthan Royals for RS 1.10 Crores at IPL auctions. Then there was this moment where he etched his name in the annals of history, scoring the youngest hundred in the Indian Premier League, clinching his maiden century against the Chennai Super Kings. Since that day, he has become one of the mainstays in the batting lineup of the team. Balancing cricket with school has been very difficult for him. There were rumors flying around on social media that he had failed the 10th…

The Board of Control for Cricket in India is grappling with whom to raise to captaincy with barely a month left for the five-Test cricket series against England. Being the top name in the race, there remain questions about why Jasprit Bumrah is not even in the spotlight. Bumrah’s possibility of captaincy was terminated about four months ago when he was forced to leave the SCG for X-rays due to injury. Without him, India could not really win that last Test against Australia, and it seems harder now for him to be the captain in England. It is said that…

Plenty of huge transactions are being made for delivery in the remaining IPL for 2025. Gujarat Titans have signed Sri Lankan batter Kusal Mendis as a replacement for Jos Buttler, who has his national duties from May 26; PBKS have brought in Kyle Jamieson to replace the injured Lockie Ferguson, and for LSG, William O’Rourke replaces Mayank Yadav. Kusal Mendis will join GT for 75 Lakhs and begin immediately upon Buttler’s exit. If that is Kusal’s first stint in the IPL, he will probably be playing an important role in the number 3 slot should GT make it to the…

Stokes was all smiles in his appearance on Sky Sports. He said that although he had been sidelined by a hamstring injury since December in New Zealand, he is still in the best shape of his life. The last few months have been very slow and steady; this way of doing it has worked very well for me. I’m back to really pushing myself with everything-from the cricket to my fitness, and I feel ready to hit the field in great shape, Stokes told Sky Sports. Injuries have been an ongoing problem for him, especially given his all-arounder role. Yet…

India women just exhibited a mighty run during the Sri Lankan ODI tri-series, and intending to continue further, BCCI has confirmed full-strength squads for the upcoming white-ball tour of England. They will play 5 T20s and 3 ODIs, with the first T20 scheduled for 28 June. Harmanpreet Kaur is chosen to captain both teams, while Smriti Mandhana is her deputy. There are not many changes because the stuff is still recovering from injuries. Both were from the RCB camp in the WPL and thus missed the tri-series, so the selectors decided to give a few new players a chance while…

Before the 2025 IPL playoffs, the Western Australian bowler was preparing to rejoin the teams. Reports by Hindustan Times say that he would land in India by week-end next and would be available for the knockout games. Hazlewood was not there to play against Chennai Super Kings due to a shoulder issue, but he still ranks as the season’s most impactful performer with 18 wickets from just 10 matches, standing third in the wicket-takers’ list for IPL 2025. A source confirmed to Hindustan Times that he’ll be arriving around the time the playoffs begin. This augurs well for RCB, more…

West Indies cricket is trying to get an Olympic opportunity in Los Angeles 2028. This one is a bit problematic: the entire Caribbean islands have to come as one team if they qualify. The problem comes in that for cricket, they compete as Windies under one cricket board, while the Olympics allow only sovereign countries to compete. For instance, Mijaín López Núñez represented Cuba in wrestling at the Paris Games and won gold. However, any cricket team from Cuba would come under the Windies’ umbrella. The hope for LA 2028 is to see at least one sovereign state from the…

Jacks, who was bought by MI for Rs. 5.25 crore last year, is back in India but will not be available for the playoffs due to international commitments. Having played 11 out of the 12 games so far for MI, he has now been selected…
