#OnThisDay Sourav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag shared an explosive 106-run opening partnership in just 14.3 overs against England in the 2002 NatWest Series Final. Ganguly scored 60 off 43 balls, and Sehwag added 45 off 49 balls. That helped to chase 326.
Happy Birthday to the man who changed the mindset of Indian cricket forever. 🇮🇳🔥
If there was one cricketer who lived that attitude, it was Dada. Fearless, aggressive and never willing to back down.
Happy Birthday Dada 🦁
Throwback to 2013 when Piers Morgan claimed he could face 150km/h pace, so Shane Warne called Brett Lee to humbled him on live TV. 😭
Safe to say, he hasn't tweeted about cricket since.🤣
The team of Lucnica Ensemble sang Vande Mataram during the welcome in Bratislava.
This comes at a time when we are marking 150 years of Vande Mataram and recalling its glorious contribution to India’s history and freedom struggle.
टेस्ट क्रिकेट का यह सबसे रोमांचक मैच था। इंग्लैंड को जीत के लिए 76 रन चाहिए थे, आखिरी जोड़ी क्रीज पर थी।
बेन स्टोक्स ने ऐतिहासिक पारी खेली और टीम को जिता दिया। खास यह कि साथ में जो खिलाड़ी था, उसने सिर्फ 1 रन बनाया।
Lara’s Unbeaten 501: A First-Class Record
#OnThisDay in 1994, Brian Lara scored an unbeaten 501 for Warwickshire against Durham at Edgbaston - the highest individual score in first-class cricket history.
After surviving a no-ball dismissal on 12 and a dropped catch on 18, Lara smashed 62 fours and 10 sixes in a stunning 427-ball innings, surpassing Hanif Mohammad’s long-standing record of 499.
He later reclaimed the Test record too, with 400* against England in 2004.
During a Test match against New Zealand at the Gabba in the 2008/09 season, Andrew Symonds was awarded eight runs from a single delivery bowled by Iain O’Brien.
Umpire Rudi Koertzen had to improvise, raising eight fingers to signal the addition to both Symonds’ personal score and Australia’s total - two more than the conventionally termed ‘maximum’ in cricket.
