In a thrilling fourth T20I game in Pune on Friday, India proved victorious over England. Putting up a total score of 181 for 9 in 20 overs, with Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube hitting half-centuries, India had some scratchy moments while batting first.

An exemplary Indian captain, Mohammad Azharuddin has the distinction of playing 99 Tests and 334 ODIs. His Test debut against England in December 1984 could not have been more auspicious.

Thus, Azharuddin became the first player in history to record centuries in each of his first three Tests, and it was today (February 1) in 1985 that he achieved this sensational…

Twenty-four years ago, a dark chapter was written into ODI cricket; New Zealand played Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It is remembered more as a turning point in cricket-not due to thrilling cricket being played, but due to the absolute disregard for the spirit of the game. This happened during the third final of the Benson and Hedges World Series Cup 1980/81 on February 1. The game was well contested, and it seemed that the Black Caps would draw when they needed six runs off the last delivery. The Australian captain, Greg Chappell, had other ideas. He ordered his…
