The glorious triumvirate in India’s victorious beginning to their Champions Trophy 2025 campaign in Dubai on Thursday over Bangladesh included Mohammed Shami’s five-for and an unbeaten ton from Shubman Gill. While a couple of missed catches and a stumping put Bangladesh back into the match and challenged the Indians, the Indian fielders were bright in many efforts. Virat Kohli’s overhead catch at covers, Gill’s sharp grab at first slip, wicketkeeper KL Rahul’s takedown catches and Mohammed Shami’s running catch near the fine leg were among the great efforts. As per the Indian cricket team’s custom, the best fielder was given…

Sanjay Manjrekar, the former Indian cricketer, mentioned that Shreyas Iyer does not seem the player who can last very long. He added, “On the other hand, Shubman Gill, who scored a century in India’s first match in the Champions Trophy, looks to be in the picture for a long time.” Gill’s performance on his Champions Trophy debut was stupendous as he scored a century of 101 off 129 balls in the first match against Bangladesh while chasing what seemed to be a respectable target of 229 runs set by the opposition. On the other hand, Iyer walked in after Kohli…

Indian ODI vice-captain Shubman Gill made an outstanding century on Thursday, 20 February, in his Champions Trophy debut against Bangladesh at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Gill made his eighth century in ODIs, leading India to chase a paltry target of 229 to begin their campaign on a high note with a thumping victory. His hundred means that he has made it to another select list of Indian cricketers to have struck centuries on their first Champions Trophy outing, making him the fourth to achieve this. Others before him include Sachin Tendulkar, Shikhar Dhawan, and Mohammad Kaif, who made their…

An intense opening clash between India and Bangladesh created a flutter on day one of the Champions Trophy 2025. There were records galore: Mohammed Shami became the fastest Indian to get to 200 wickets, Rohit Sharma inserted himself into the record books as the second-fastest to reach 11,000 runs, and he registered his 100th win as captain of India. And more besides. There were, however, numerous misses on this day that will haunt Rohit Arms and Axar Patel for a while to come. Bangladesh were put in by Rohit, but Shami and Axar worked in tandem to cause something of…

‘Shami suffered a long lay-off after his spectacular bowling performance during the 2023 ODI World Cup that contributed to India’s unbeaten run to the final. The ankle injury meant he required a subsequent operation and had to sit out for almost a year, which also made him miss India’s title success at the T20 World Cup 2024.’ He returned to domestic cricket in November and made a comeback to the Indian team in January this year. After he proved his fitness, the veteran paceman was included in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy. And on Thursday, Shami showed exactly why the…

The all-rounder has been in formidable form with 215 runs in just four matches since arriving in Pakistan, including a free-flowing fifty against the hosts in Kiwis’ first match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

After the victory, the all-rounder spoke about what had been working well for him in ODI cricket. “I’m just really clear at the moment, I’m seeing the ball well and I…

In the 2008 Commonwealth Bank Series, Rohit Sharma struck a blazing 70 off 64 balls batting at no.4 for India against Sri Lanka in Canberra. It was only the eighth ODI innings of Rohit, then just 20 years old and whose international career had just taken off. Young and uninhibitedly bulldozing bowlers in attendance, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri, and Wasim Akram were dwarfed, and they came up with a unanimous verdict: ‘This player is destined for greatness!’ Fast forward to 2025; sequences of events show Rohit completing 11,029 runs at an average rate of 49.01 over 269 ODIs. He has…
