Indian cricket doesn’t usually arrive at a crossroads. It arrives dramatically, brakes screeching, alarms blaring, and everyone shouting something different. That’s exactly where the team finds itself before the second Test in Guwahati. Down 0–1 at home, a sentence rarely written in Indian cricket, and facing a South African side that stunned them in Kolkata, […]
Indian cricket doesn’t usually arrive at a crossroads. It arrives dramatically, brakes screeching, alarms blaring, and everyone shouting something different.

It’s one of cricket’s strangest paradoxes: South Africa keeps losing their giants, yet somehow keeps standing taller. Dane van Niekerk retires in 2023 after winning more games than she lost as captain. The women’s side reached three World Cup finals without her. Temba Bavuma, the most reliable red-ball batter of the era, misses the Rawalpindi […]
The IPL rarely does quiet drama, but Ravi Bishnoi’s release from Lucknow Super Giants felt like exactly that: a twist whispered into the wind, but loud enough to shake the spin market. A 25-year-old leg-spinner with 72 IPL wickets, a T20I strike bowler with 61 international scalps, and yet, he’s back on the auction table […]
Bengal cricket is once again flirting with its favorite off-field habit, shaking up the captaincy just when the team is still figuring itself out. This time, the debate surrounds a 23-year-old left-hander who has been gunning his way into Bengal folklore: Abishek Porel. Fresh from Delhi Capitals’ renewed faith for IPL 2026 and currently serving […]
Every time a Test match collapses inside three days in India, social media becomes a courtroom, and the pitch is guilty until proven innocent. Yet, on the opening day of the Ashes 2025-26 in Perth, 19 wickets tumbled like loose change, and the global reaction? “What a fantastic day of Test cricket!” That contrast […]
Every IPL auction cycle gives us one big surprise, but CSK releasing Matheesha Pathirana, the same bowler they once protected like family silver, feels like the twist no one saw coming. This is the same Pathirana who tore through line-ups in 2023 with 19 wickets in 12 matches, an outrageous average of 19.52, and ice-cold […]
Every single Cricket Auction is made up of an array of purse numbers and Player Names, but the WPL 2026 Auction feels more than that – It’s a Tipping Point. On Nov 27 in Delhi, 277 Registered Players (two hundred and seventy-seven) are going to compete for just 73 available spots; that’s approximately a 1 […]
Indian Test cricket wasn’t supposed to look like this, especially not under Gautam Gambhir, a coach whose early success in T20s made it seem like everything he touched would turn to gold. Yet here we are, staring at a home series defeat last year and now another wobble, the kind of pattern India simply doesn’t […]
Cricket at an international level has a unique pattern of returning to some of the same players who have been a part of that team from years ago. When it seemed like South Africa would finally accept the loss of Anrich Nortje as a former player (the World Cup failure, his injury lay off; experimenting […]
Each Ashes series is preceded by two big “what ifs “: do the English actually believe they can win? And will the Australians get tired or back down first? On Day One at the WACA in Perth, one of these questions was answered with an almost shocking clarity. The English team did not simply prove […]
While every auction is filled with its own drama, this year’s WPL 2026 season may be the first to truly smell like it is time to hit the reset button. The top eight will have their usual marquee names, while there are 277 players to choose from in the pool, and only 73 spots on […]
