Currently, Kapil Dev remains the ONLY cricketer to have achieved the double of 400 wkts + 5k runs in Tests!

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

Really hope he goes on to achieve all 3 :
100 Tests
5000 Runs
400 Wickets

Ravindra Jadeja has played 89 Tests.
9 Tests remain for India in this #WTC cycle considering their low chances of getting into the finals.

905 runs away from 5k Test Runs &
52 wkts away from 400 Test wickets.

He would have to play atleast 2 more tests in the next cycle.

@cricbuzz ODIs for sure.

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

Exactly half of the chase done by India at the 30 over mark.
A popular saying in the past for ODIs that double your 30 over score if you've lost <=2 wkts.

India at 194/1 is still in the game.
270 should be the target at 40 overs?

#ENGvIND

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

Iyer, Axar, Shedge/Washi, Arshdeep & Prasidh would complete the XI.

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

Rohit, Gill, Kohli, KLR, Kuldeep & Bumrah - all 6 will be there in #ODI series.
Fair to say, completely different team there. Should be a much better contest.

[Erika Morris @ErikaMorris79]

Genuinely don’t know what screen to have my eyes on:

Ben Stokes opening and playing his last even international innings

Indian men trying to get a drawn series against Ireland

India women possibly exiting the world cup.

What a day to be a cricket fan

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

4 changes from the #T20WC2026 Final for #India:

Shreyas for SKY
Harshit for Hardik
Washi for Varun
Prasidh for Bumrah

Sanju, Abhishek, Ishan, Tilak, Dube, Axar & Arshdeep are the other 7.

Bench : Vaibhav, Bishnoi, Prince & Shedge.

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

Axar should continue this year. Review at mega auction.
#IPL

[Cricbuzz @cricbuzz]

According to you, who should captain the Delhi Capitals? 💬

#KLRahul #AxarPatel #RishabhPant #IPL

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

That's why I'm intrigued by DC. They need clarity in their players, I would guess.

1. Who opens with KLR?
2. Where does RP & Stubbs bat?
3. Kuldeep's Replacement.
4. Release Mukesh & Nattu?

[Amit S @akrsrivastava]

@_cric_geek With Kuldeep gone, who is leading spin? Axar? Clearly Vipraj does not have the confidence of the management as he was not used in IPL 26

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

More than 8 months to go for #IPL2027 to begin, yet I'm quite intrigued by how #DelhiCapitals would go on next season.
They already had a plethora of top order batters and have now added #RP17 to the mix.
Surely a few releases are coming.
Who'll lead? KLR or Axar?

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

Looks like the end of Jadeja, the ODI player as of now, at least.
He still has tests left in him and will surely be picked for the #SL Test series.
But for ODIs, Axar and Washi are selector's picks for next year.

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

There are 3 changes from the #AFG series :

Kohli for Jaiswal
Axar for Dubey
Bumrah for Prince

Jaiswal getting dropped is a clear indication of the pecking order.
Ishan is the backup batter/wk/opener rn.

🚨 News 🚨

India’s ODI squad for the England tour announced.

𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘: Varun Chakaravarthy has been ruled out of the Ireland T20I Series as he continues his rehab at the BCCI COE.

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

He was 21 at that time and was his last series for India to this date.

[Rohit Sankar @imRohit_SN]

5 years ago in the same country, another India opener made 43 off 24 balls in a run chase of 263, but got out in the 6th over in a 50-over game.

He was given the Player of the Match award.

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

Why would DC have 15 Cr deducted? Kuldeep is 13.25 and they're taking Pant at 15, so deduction of 1.75 Cr?

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

Let's see from DC's POV:
Kuldeep is not in great form, but is it really worth getting back Pant for 27 cr even if the gmr mngment is crazy for him?
Don't think Pant will lead.

[Subhayan Chakraborty @CricSubhayan]

KKR were very interested in Rishabh Pant. But LSG wanted Varun/Sunil for Pant. That's where the talks broke down. Rishabh is Kuldeep Yadav + 15 crore to DC.

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

Can't get the logic of Ishan keeping(if he's doing that this series) when KLR is the sure-shot wk+no.5 in ODIs.

He hasn't done anything wrong and is a walk-in in the 50-overs team.

#INDvAFG

[cric_geek @_cric_geek]

IND XI for 1st ODI vs. #Afghanistan:
Gill(C)
Rohit
YBJ/Ishan
Shreyas(vc)
KLR(wk)
NKR
Washi
Harsh/Gurnoor/Prince
Kuldeep
Arshdeep
Prasidh

Looks like at least 1 debut on cards for Dubey/Brar/Yadav.
