Hardik Pandya, the skipper of the Mumbai Indians, recently praised the team’s scouting crew for being great at spotting talent after young left-arm pacer Ashwani Kumar had an impressive debut. With an outstanding performance where he took four wickets, Ashwani helped propel MI to an 8-wicket victory over KKR at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.  Notably, Kumar made history as the first Indian player to grab four wickets on his IPL debut, contributing significantly to restricting KKR to a mere 116 runs in just 16.2 overs. His figures of 4 for 24 showcased the power of MI’s bowling lineup, leading…

Shardul Thakur, an all-rounder for the Lucknow Super Giants, recently shared his thoughts about the pitches used in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He pointed out that bowlers really want the playing fields to be fair for everyone involved, both bowlers and batters. When the pitches lean too much in favor of the batters, it can make the matches feel a bit one-sided, like a game where batters can easily hit the ball all over the place without much challenge.  Before Lucknow’s upcoming match against the Punjab Kings, Shardul spoke to the media and made a strong case for the…

Sanju Samson, the captain of Rajasthan Royals, has made his way to the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.

On Monday, he took a flight from Guwahati to Bengaluru to meet with the folks at the Centre of Excellence, chasing a full clearance, as reported by Cricbuzz. After having surgery on his right index finger, he only got a temporary and partial nod to play in this season of the IPL. Once he’s at the Centre, Samson will go through some testing…

Australia is gearing up for the World Test Championship (WTC) final, and they’ve got some good news that could really turn the tide in their favor. The team, led by Pat Cummins, is excited to defend their title against South Africa, and there’s a sense of optimism in the air as key players seem to be on the mend from their injuries. Cameron Green is one of those players making a comeback. He had a spinal operation back in October, which kept him off the field since Australia faced New Zealand in February 2024. After a long rehabilitation process, he’s…

There’s a real stir going on in the cricket community right now. A former captain from Pakistan is in hot water over a scandal tied to Mughiz Ahmed Sheikh, who’s in trouble himself after being suspended. The report from Cricket Pakistan hasn’t named this former captain yet but hints that he’s quite a big deal in the national cricket scene. The allegation is that this ex-captain had a hand in persuading some young cricketers to sign contracts with Sheikh’s agency, the International Cricketers Association (ICA). It’s rumored that he has some pretty close ties to this agency, which is raising…

India cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara expressed his surprise over Pat Cummins choosing to bat first in the match against the Delhi Capitals. Normally, in a daytime game, winning the toss would lead a captain to field first since the pitch tends to be slower. Hyderabad had a solid start, scoring 286 runs in their first match against the Rajasthan Royals, which might have given Cummins the confidence to send his batters in for a big score.  All of their batters, from Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma at the top to Cummins himself down the order, have been going hard from the…

Pakistan is facing a tough situation just before their second ODI against New Zealand. They’ve announced that opener Usman Khan will not play due to a hamstring injury.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on their website that Usman has been ruled out for the crucial game that will take place on April 2 at Seddon Park in Hamilton. The scan showed he has a low-grade tear, which means he won’t be able to take part in this match.…

Virender Sehwag, a former cricketer from India, shared his thoughts on the challenges players face when it comes to chasing big scores, especially after watching the Chennai Super Kings struggle in their recent games. Chennai has now lost two matches in a row, and their inability to chase down 183 runs left them in a tough spot. Sehwag didn’t hold back when analyzing MS Dhoni’s role in such high-pressure situations. He pointed out that it’s been a while since Dhoni has been able to pull off a winning finish in a game, and that’s concerning for fans. He mentioned how…

Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming recently shared some insights about MS Dhoni’s current playing condition. He mentioned that Dhoni’s knees aren’t doing so well compared to a few years ago, which limits his ability to bat higher in the order. Even though Dhoni can still strike the ball beautifully, his body just can’t handle as much as before. In a recent match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, the game was already slipping away from CSK when Dhoni finally came to the crease. Despite hitting a few big shots, CSK ultimately fell short, losing comfortably to RCB. After Chennai’s second…
