There’s a certain chaos that arrives when a franchise releases every wicketkeeper on its roster. Kolkata Knight Riders didn’t just flirt with unpredictability; they embraced it like a philosophy. After chopping 10 players and freeing up a massive ₹64.3 crore purse, KKR have quietly positioned themselves as the most dangerous bidder at the IPL 2026 […]
There’s a certain chaos that arrives when a franchise releases every wicketkeeper on its roster. Kolkata Knight Riders didn’t just flirt with unpredictability; they embraced it like a philosophy. After chopping 10 players and freeing up a massive ₹64.3 crore purse, KKR have quietly positioned themselves as the most dangerous bidder at the IPL 2026 […]
Two unfamiliar “dog-throwers”, essentially human bowling machines with whip-like arms, were drafted in from the Sunshine Coast. Their mission? Fling left-arm angle, pace, and movement at England’s batters until the muscle memory kicks in. The Lions squad was busy in Canberra, the Test bowlers were resting, and Stokes was the lone senior quick bowler. So […]
Once upon a time, the ODI six was a special-occasion event, a festival firecracker rather than a daily routine. Today? It’s the opening act, the plot twist, and the grand finale. In a format where 300 is par, and 350 barely buys confidence, hitting sixes is no longer a bonus skill; it’s basic survival. The […]
Some innings win matches, and then some innings tilt the game’s timeline, the kind that make you check the date twice and wonder if you’ve just watched a piece of cricketing history unfold in real time. Virat Kohli’s 135 in Ranchi against South Africa belonged firmly in the second category. At 37, when most batters […]
A champion returning to where their theft occurred is dramatically attractive. The Dubai Capitals not only won ILT20 season three, but they stole it with swagger as if they hadn’t even realised they had to collapse under pressure. The fourth season will present a different type of problem than previous seasons. It’s challenging enough to […]
There has been no shortage of change in Indian cricket when it comes to two of the most iconic batsmen of the past decade (Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma), and each has played a role in shaping the way generations of players have batted. This duo has also given fans more White Ball heartaches than […]
While Ranchi has hosted ODI matches before, there’s no doubt that it is going to be different this time around, as this will be the city’s first World Cup-level ODI. Thousands of fans were waiting for the sun to rise, and Ticketgenie crashed under the strain of high demand. The lines at the JSCA have […]
The Bangladesh Premier League has survived chaotic schedules, franchise reshuffles, and enough political noise to fill a Mirpur press box, but what unfolded this week feels different. When a league quietly drops eight domestic cricketers from its draft list, eyebrows don’t just rise; they sprint upwards. The BCB’s integrity unit, led by former ICC […]
There are injuries, and then there are Ashes-defining ruptures in a team’s strategy. Mark Wood falls squarely into the latter. England arrived in Australia knowing Wood wouldn’t play all five Tests, but they certainly didn’t plan for him to miss the second one, especially after their eight-wicket defeat in Perth. His left knee, the same […]
Every mega auction throws up one storyline nobody sees coming. For Delhi Capitals in 2026, it’s not a superstar release, a dramatic trade, or even a surprise retention; it’s the fact that their most stable future depends on finding the right man to stand 22 yards away from KL Rahul. Yes, KL Rahul, the […]
Every few months, Indian cricket revisits its favourite existential question: Is this the last dance for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma? Two modern giants, two World Cup-winning pillars, two men who carry the weight of expectation heavier than an SG Test ball soaked in dew and yet, the future conversation around them refuses to settle.
