A member of the support staff for the Indian men’s cricket team was reportedly prevented by cops in Nagpur from entering the team hotel before the first ODI against England, as they mistook him for a fan. In a viral video circulating on social media, Raghavendra, known to one and all as Raghu, a beleaguered throwdown specialist, unsuccessfully tried for a pretty long time to reach his teammates at the other end of the team bus when two policemen, in full uniform, stopped him. Bystanders who had recognized him made attempts to convince the policemen that he was a part…

Kevin Pietersen, the former captain, was vehement in the defense of both out-of-form Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, saying they don’t even ‘deserve’ questions about their retirement yet. For him, one poor tour of Australia in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy does not make them ‘bad cricketers’ or ‘bad people’ for Pietersen. He believes that people who are ‘questioning’ them should stop looking at ‘statistics’ and consider how Kohli and Rohit have ‘made them feel. Kohli and Rohit have had a very average last six months in international cricket after the T20 World Cup 2024. Kohli scored one century in the…

India triumphed three years ago on February 5, yet another occasion when it can claim supremacy in Under-19 cricket. An additional historic occasion during this 14th edition of the ICC tournament, held in the West Indies in 2020, would also be remembered, for it was India’s fifth successive appearance in the final of the tournament. They had come into this event as the finalists of the 2020 edition, where they lost to Bangladesh by three wickets. With an imposing English side awaiting in the final, India, as they were called, appeared unaffected. They displayed skill and character in the holding…

Kevin Pietersen described Abhishek Sharma’s 135 runs against England in the fifth T20I at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai as, “the best T20I innings I have ever seen,” and he took time to tell the Indian opener after the match. The former English captain called it the ‘perfection’ innings, with ‘no funky shots’ involved. The 135 (54) is now India’s highest score in T20Is, with the record of 13 sixes. He took only 37 balls for his ton, making him the second-fastest to reach the T20I century in the clash between the full-member ICC nations after Rohit Sharma and David…

The former England captain said the ODI format will give his fellows some time to adapt to his variations because every ball is not an event, thereby lessening the effectiveness of Chakarvarthy against England in the three ODIs, compared to the T20Is, in which he was the top bowler with 14 wickets in just five matches at an average of 9.86.  Chakaravarthy was included in India’s ODI squad for the England ODIs on Tuesday. He is yet to play an ODI but has an outstanding List A record of 59 wickets at an exceptional average of 14.13 and an economy…

Ravi Shastri, former head coach of India, feels that Bumrah should not be rushed back into the Indian squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, as India’s chances of winning go down tremendously by 30-35% without him. He sustained the back injury towards the end of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, and while he has been undergoing rehabilitation with rest for several weeks, there are still reports that he is in the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence, Bengaluru, where the medical team is assessing the gradual return for him. Other reports state that he intends to get back before the third…
