Mohammed Siraj lashed out at the detractors of Jasprit Bumrah for his decision to miss two matches in England during the recently ended five-match series between the two sides to manage workload. Siraj, meanwhile, drubbed all five matches, whereas Bumrah was restricted to three games in the 2025 Andeson-Tendulkar Trophy. In three matches, Bumrah took 14 wickets, bagging two five-fors, but India failed to secure victory in any of those tests. Meanwhile, Siraj remains the only pacer from either team to have bowled in all 10 innings and top the wicket charts (23 wickets) as the Shubman Gill-led side held…

Indian cricketers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, both talismanic players, are all ready to make their international comeback in the oncoming ODI series against Australia. Having retired from Tests and T20Is, Kohli and Rohit last played international cricket during India’s tour to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year. Sunil Gavaskar, a former Indian skipper and a legend of the game, has explained the reason for their availability for the tour as they prepare for a three-match ODI series.  Usually, the BCCI rests its senior players and picks a young team of promising talents whenever India face a lesser-ranked…

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur was thrilled at yet another spectacle by the Indian team, who had chalked up consecutive wins in the Women’s World Cup in Colombo, by defeating neighbours Pakistan by a huge margin of 88 runs to re-establish their dominance over Pakistan in cricket. This also restored India’s advantage over Pakistan to 12-0 and reinforced once again that Pakistan truly does not deserve to be called India’s rivals. “Back home,” as she called it, Harmanpreet had sentiments that melted hearts, uttered at the post-match presentation ceremony. “It was a very important game for all of us, and I’m sure…

The report states that Rohit Sharma was taken away from the ODI captaincy duties with the BCCI fearing a detrimental shift in team culture. On Saturday, Shubman Gill, who holds the Test captaincy, was bestowed with the leadership of the ODI team, supplanting Rohit ahead of the three-match series against Australia later this month. Alongside the decision to remove Rohit, BCCI’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar commented that “it was practically impossible to have three different captains across the formats.” Nevertheless, an article in the Times of India claims that the selectors had felt Rohit was dictating matters his way, which…

The Team India pacer Arshdeep Singh put up his antics during the 3rd ODI India A vs Australia A at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur on Sunday, October 5.

India’s team selection for the imminent ODI series with Australia has been perhaps the biggest surprise across the board, the biggest being the change in the captaincy. Shubman Gill replaces Rohit Sharma and is named the new ODI captain, with Shreyas Iyer as vice-captain. However, Rohit and Virat Kohli have been named in the teams and will make their comeback to international cricket after a long gap since IPL 2025. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan also believes that if Rohit and Kohli want to be part of the 2027 ODI World Cup, then they must actively play domestic cricket to…

The mysterious and highly controversial run-out of Pakistan opening batter, Muneeba Ali, against arch-rival India at Colombo has, according to Pakistan right-arm quick Diana Baig, been sorted. Controversies erupted in the India-Pakistan game of the Women’s World Cup on Sunday. What started with Muneeba’s dismissal was so very rare. Pakistan was chasing a target of 248, and it was on the last ball of the fourth over that the Indian players appealed for LBW off Kranti Gaud for Muneeba’s dismissal, which an on-field umpire turned down. Muneeba had latched the bat behind the crease before Deepti Sharma threw the ball…
