People who were cricket lovers back in the 80s and 90s used to say that today's cricket just doesn't have the same charm anymore.
Watching Mohmmad Azharuddin play like this in this video is truly commendable.
This was genuinely one of the best moments which didn’t involve batter, bowler events.
A skipper giving the guy who backed him his moment before he’s done! 👏🏼 ❤️
When Kuldeep is bowling well, he forces you to remember this quote.
"The art of leg-spin is not just bowling a leg-break; the art of leg-spin is to examine, deceive and outwit. That is the whole art. And within it is the magic,” said Shane Warne in his autobiography, No Spin.
Happy Birthday to one of world’s finest left-arm pacers!
Zaheer Khan's mastery over reverse swing, tactical brilliance, and ability to dismantle top-order batters made him an absolute giant of world cricket—especially during that unforgettable 2011 World Cup campaign where he finished as the joint highest wicket-taker. @ImZaheer
Yuvraj Singh 1st made his mark #OnThisDay
🇮🇳 were 130-4 vs 🇦🇺 in the QF of the 2000 ICC CT, at Nairobi
@YUVSTRONG12 walked out for the 1st time in his career
His fearless power-hitting got him a 84 in 80 & led 🇮🇳 to 265 ⬇️
🇮🇳's bowling got a 20-run win
Dinesh Karthik 93 vs Pakistan at Kolkata 2005.
Match was evenly balanced when DK came to the crease and with Dravid stitch a key partnership that turned the test towards India.
His footwork against spinners was exemplary.
🚨Bhuvneshwar Kumar has broken the door of the selectors - Ashwin🤯
Ravichandran Ashwin said :🗣️
"Bhuvneshwar Kumar was long due for his International return. He was looking in fabulous flow, and just look at him, he doesn't make any unnecessary noise, he has no PR whatsoever, he just does his work brilliantly. He has broken the door of the selectors. I feel we need a partner of Jasprit Bumrah in the ODIs, because our bowling looked pretty ordinary in the ODI series against West Indies. He picked 28 wkts in 16 matches for RCB in the last IPL which was incredible. He doesn't rely on pace, he lets the ball talk everytime. He is so damn accurate with those yorkers in the death. I'm very happy for him".
Welcome back, Bhuvi! 🇮🇳💙
So happy to see one of India’s finest and most skillful bowlers getting his recognition again. The discipline, hard work and resilience he has shown over the years is truly inspiring.
From Uttar Pradesh to the IPL, and now back in the Indian T20 side — this comeback is thoroughly deserved. 👏
Keep inspiring, @BhuviOfficial Your journey is a reminder that hard work always finds its way back. 🙌🏽🇮🇳
Dear Ajit Bhai, an absolute honour to work with you. Those 3 ICC trophies are testimony of your conviction: Team first & Team ahead, always.. I must say, History will be kinder to you. Thank you for everything. My heartfelt wishes for your future endeavours !!
You like her or not, India turning it around after losing to AUS, SA and England, would be penned down in indelible ink.
Harmanpreet Kaur's captaincy stint.
Rohit Sharma currently has a streak of 29 consecutive ODIs without missing any game.
This is his joint second longest streak in ODIs.
The longest streak was of 37 ODIs starting from Asia Cup 2018 Final to Bengaluru ODI against Australia in 2020.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar makes an international comeback after 4 years. Approaching 37, Bhuvi is part of India’s T20 touring team to New Zealand.
India’s T20I Squad: Shreyas Iyer [C], Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson [WK], Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ishan Kishan [WK], Tilak Varma [VC], Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Prince Yadav, Mayank Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav
Excellent win for West Indies. Well deserved. Brilliant from Hope. India were testing their second string seamers to see who can fit in to the World Cup. Hopefully they got their answer. Nothing is lost yet for them to get back Bhuvaneshwar kumar and Mohd Shami and both will be very effective in South Africa.
DINESH KARTHIK ON ROHIT SHARMA:
"The beauty of having experience is he would have seen such situations before. He was playing at 50 strike rate for the first 40 ballls because he knows he can trust himself to make it up. And he did just that in the space of 40 balls. It was his game sense at the start, and having that conviction is what comes from experience. Many players would have tried to do something different, thinking that they were batting too slowly. A young Rohit Sharma would have made that mistake. But today, he has a wealth of experience and brought it to the fore. The same thing could happen in South Africa, and that's when the experience of a Rohit, Virat or Shubman will come through".
This match is an example of why I’ll always rate Rohit above Kohli as an ODI batter. As Warner says, dealing with swing and the shine of the new ball is not easy at all, and I’m not even including the CWC record.
