In the recently concluded World Cup Cricket for Over-60s, Pradeep Godbole scored 108 at the age of 66 years and 205 days. Do any one know the Indian cricketer older than Godbole to have recorded a century in any class of cricket?

Tanush Kotian (120*) and Tushar Deshpande (123) today emulated the feat of CT Sarwate (124*) and SN Banerjee (121) of scoring hundreds at number 10 & 11 batting position in the same first-class innings. Curiously, the record holders happen to be Indians.

On Sarfaraz and Jurel’s debut Test, India won by record 434 runs. Other debutants in order by victory runs for India are: Amit Mishra (320 runs), Axar Patel (317), Hardik Pandya (304), Chandrakant Pandit (279), Narendra Hirwani/Woorkeri Raman (255), Jayant Yadav (246),.........

India Women's established a world record today by scoring 428 without a century beating their own record of 404-9d against South Africa at Paarl in 2001-02. Also today's India innings has four individual scores of 60s in a sequence: 66, 67, 68 & 69.

@wmakarand @neeran According to my record, the match was played in 1965.

Sudhir Vaidya in his book mentions Russi Cooper's birth date as 15 Dec.1922. But Cooper's family member says that Russi was born on Dec 14. MCA/BCCI for information and compliance.

After DB Deodhar, VN Raiji and RR Chandorkar, RS Cooper will join them tomorrow to become only the fourth Indian cricketer to complete a century in life. Believe it or not, each played cricket at first-class level at the Brabourne Stadium - a unique coincidence in itself.

Today is the birth centenary of Hasan Mahmood. What is mind boggling is that he got to lead Bahawalpur and Karachi team against the visiting MCC side in the only first-class match of his career. His record shows that he had never appeared in the miscellaneous/minor matches ever.

Kieren Pollard will be swimming in the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. No this swimmer is not the cricketer but he is attracting a lot of attention and drawing popularity because he shares his name with the one of the biggest cricket stars to have come out of the West Indies.

26 years after I saw the movie 'Bombay' today I saw "83" first day first show; in cricketing terms - one of the longest intervals between the the two movies anyone ever saw: courtesy my son's second wedding anniversary compliment to his parents.

Oh! What a sad coincidence that two of the world's oldest living Test and first-class cricketers passed away on the same day (Sept 3). JC Watkins was the oldest Test player at 98y 146d and RR Chandorkar at 100y 286d was the oldest first-class cricketer at the time of their death.

Triple delight for Ravi Shastri: He was part of all three wins by India against England at Lord's - as a player in 1986 (he was non-striker when Kapil Dev made the winning hit), as Director of Indian Team in 2014 and as Head Coach in 2021.

India played five Tests on Independence Day so far (three at The Oval and two at Galle) and only once they managed to draw against England while losing the remaining four.

Indian cricket on this special memorable day: In 1936, Mohd. Nissar claimed 5 wickets in an innings in The Oval Test 1936, BCCI cricket scorer cum statistician Sudhir Vaidya is born in 1938 and Test cricketers Vijay Bharadwaj and Hemlata Kala (India Women) were both born in 1975.

On this day in 1867, John Carter was born at Murree in Punjab. He played his sole match opening for Satara against Poona at Poona in September 1888. This is the first cricket match on record played by Satara. Satara lost the 2-day match by an innings and 28 runs.

Virat Kohli recorded his second GOLDEN DUCK as captain in successive innings against England in England including the fifth and final Test at Kennington in 2018.

[Prakash Dahatonde @statsdahatonde]

In a unique coincidence, the English opening pair against India today shares the same birthplace - Epsom in Surrey.

Yashpal Sharma scored 58 for North Zone Schools against South Zone Schools at the ISLAM GYMKHANA, Bombay in 1971-72 and that is where his cricketing journey began. In the opposite side was another future Test player. His name was Bharath Reddy!
