Shahid Afridi, who used to lead the Pakistan cricket team, has shared his worries about how politics is interfering with the appointments in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and how it’s affecting the talent coming up in the sport. He took a trip down memory lane, recalling how, in his playing days, the national team was filled with match-winners, a quality he feels is missing in the current squad. Afridi connects this drop in talent to problems within the domestic cricket scene, including the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and the pathways available for player development. Afridi believes it’s essential to…

RCB fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar recently shared a funny moment before their match against PBKS on April 18. This experienced pacer just hit a milestone by becoming the first Indian fast bowler to play 300 T20 matches. During a press conference, he made a light-hearted comment about something he had totally forgotten — that the ban on using saliva on the ball was lifted for IPL 2025.  For those not in the loop, the BCCI, which is India’s cricket board, recently allowed players to use saliva again to shine the ball, a practice that was common in the sport before…

Cheteshwar Pujara, a star player from India, shared his thoughts on KL Rahul’s batting during a recent match. He pointed out that Rahul could have been more aggressive while batting in the middle overs to give the Delhi Capitals a boost, but it seemed like he was focused more on just sticking around instead of scoring runs. The game was exciting, especially since the Delhi Capitals clinched a thrilling win in a Super Over against the Rajasthan Royals, largely thanks to a fantastic performance by Mitchell Starc. Pujara mentioned that with Rahul batting at number four now, he needs to…

After the Mumbai Indians clinched a thrilling four-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025, former South African cricketer Mark Boucher shared his thoughts on Rohit Sharma’s performance. He noted that Rohit seems primed for a big innings soon, especially after his brief but powerful display. In a run chase of 163 at Wankhede Stadium, Rohit came out swinging, scoring 26 runs off just 16 balls and smacking three sixes. It looked like he was ready to go big. Unfortunately, he ended up getting caught at cover off a delivery from Pat Cummins early on. In the end, the Mumbai…

Babar Azam hasn’t been having the best time with the bat lately, and former Pakistan captain Zaheer Abbas thinks it’s time for him to reach out to some of the older, more experienced players for advice. In an interview, Zaheer pointed out that Babar might be dealing with a bit of ego or maybe he just feels too shy to ask for help from his seniors, and that could be holding him back. Since his standout innings of 151 runs against Nepal back in August 2023, Babar has struggled to find his form and hasn’t scored a century for his…

Travis Head has just hit a major milestone in his career by scoring 1,000 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL). This achievement happened during a match on April 17, 2025, where the Sunrisers Hyderabad faced off against the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium. What’s really impressive is that he got to this mark in just 575 balls, making him the second-fastest player in IPL history based on how many balls it took. His aggressive batting style has made him a key player for the Sunrisers lately. To celebrate this milestone, let’s take a look at the five quickest…

India’s captain Rohit Sharma shared the story behind his now-famous line, Koi garden mein nahi ghoomega. It all started during a Test match against England in Vishakhapatnam last year. Rohit noticed that after one over, his teammates were casually walking around like they were in a park, not showing any urgency. This really frustrated him. During that match, he was captured on the stump mic urging his team to pick up their energy. Looking back, he explained why he said what he did. It was in Vizag, and after that over, the players were just strolling around. No one was…

Ishan Kishan, the wicketkeeper-batter for Sunrisers Hyderabad, had a heartfelt reunion with Nita Ambani, owner of the Mumbai Indians, just recently. This encounter happened after he was released from the Mumbai squad ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Ishan had spent seven seasons with the Mumbai Indians before moving to Sunrisers Hyderabad in a significant deal.  After a recent match, where both teams played against each other, a moment caught everyone’s attention. Even though Ishan had been released, he didn’t hesitate to approach Nita with a big smile as they shook hands while heading to their respective dugouts. It’s…

Cheteshwar Pujara, a key player for India, recently shared his honest thoughts about Glenn Maxwell’s performance in the IPL. He felt that there have been moments when Maxwell has seemed a bit too laid-back, and it’s time for him to step up and prove himself, especially since his contributions have declined over the last seasons. Maxwell, who was bought by the Punjab Kings for a whopping Rs 4.2 crore during the IPL 2025 auction, hasn’t exactly made a strong impression yet. He’s managed to score only 41 runs over five games, which is pretty disappointing with an average of just…
