On Dussehra day, India locked horns with the West Indies in the first Test at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. Shubman Gill was there for the toss but once again luck refused the Indian captain.  West Indies had won the toss and decided to bat. Meanwhile, Ravi Shastri, seemingly his usual energetic self, introduced both captains; oddly enough, the loudest cheer was reserved for the match referee, Andy Pycroft.

In the growing Indian-less Twenty20 frenzy in the UAE, a shocker was delivered when Ashwin was left unsold at Wednesday’s sellers’ auction. Ashwin had been making headlines for a while after quitting international cricket and announcing his IPL retirement earlier this year. In fact, it is said that he kept ILT20 on his radar for one of the many overseas leagues he wished to participate in. That fact became even clearer when barely days after having been confirmed to take part in Australia’s Big Bash League (BBL), the spinner went unsold in the ILT20 auction. However, a twist has developed…

The England tour will always remain etched in memory with Shubman Gill. The spotlight was shining upon him not just as a batter but also as a leader. There were questions posed by the many about whether Gill was mature enough to lead the Indian Test team, more so in such testing English conditions. However, the youngster proved his ingenuity with a monumental series in which both teams shared the spoils 2-2.  Quite inspiring was the way Gill told how he had self-doubts before stepping into this role and sought knowledge from three of the biggest names in the game:…

A short break from the longest and oldest format of cricket made India the heavy favourite at the Asia Cup. They did the business wonderfully, but the players really had just a day or two to celebrate it before the coaching staff and a few multi-format players had to make a rapid switch. Test cricket beckons again for India down in a must-win two-Test series against the visiting West Indies, and there is a growing sense of desperation to bag those wins in their first home series after that infamous whitewashing at the enemy’s hands, New Zealand, last year. Since…

A new milestone has been attained by New Zealand captain Sophie Devine in this already illustrious career as the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 picks up speed. Ten runs short of her fourth-thousand milestone in ODI runs, in the prelude of their campaign opener in watch against defending champions Australia, the 36-year-old all-rounder further etched her name into the record book by October 1 at the Holkar Cricket Stadium at Indore, after their clash against the Trans-Tasman rivals Australia. On the grandest stage of all, Devine not just chased numbers but fought a lonely battle (111 off 112 balls)…

Adar Poonawalla, the CEO of Serum Institute of India, poured more fuel on the fire when he responded to rumours of his buying the Royal Challengers Bangalore, one of the most prestigious franchises in the Indian Premier League. According to CNBC-TV18, Poonawalla may have already set about negotiations with Diageo Plc, the existing owners of RCB, for a sale of the franchise. It is not, however, clear whether Diageo Plc intends to mount an outright sale of its shares in RCB or not. Speaking about Diageo Plc and United Sports, the British multinational alcoholic beverages concern is said to be…

The all-rounder Amanjot Kaur came in with a striking comeback after having a knee injury in a comfortable win for India against Sri Lanka in the first match of the Women’s World Cup. Amanjot was involved in a vital 103-run partnership with Deepti Sharma, which saved the Indian innings from a situation where they had fallen to 124 for 6.  Amanjot scored 57 runs off 56 balls before returning to claim a wicket. “I knew Deepti was with me. I knew how to take full help from her and take the innings ahead,” said Amanjot. “I took six balls to…

Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha has never lost an opportunity to bad-mouth India. In a post-match press conference after the Asia Cup 2025 final, he once again brought up the handshake row which had started on September 14, calling out India for their unsportsmanlike behaviour. He even went to the extent of saying that by refusing to shake hands with the Pakistan team, India had disrespected the whole sport. Former Indian spinner Amit Mishra has answered Salman’s claim and repeated the Indian stance that the players don’t want to be friends with him or others in the Pakistan team. “What…
