Bangladesh cricket has always spun its success – literally. But now and again, someone bends the old traditions. In Guwahati, a 20-year-old quick bowler, with fire in her stride and swing in her wrist, made the cricket world glance askance. Could Marufa Akter be the pace revolution that Bangladesh never saw coming? For a […]

When a cricketer like Rohit Sharma, an exceptional batsman and one of the best modern-day captains, resigns as captain of India, it’s not merely a name change; it’s more of an emotional change. Following Shubman Gill’s announcement as the new ODI captain of India, former India batter Mohammad Kaif gave a reality check that raised […]
There’s something oddly poetic about Mitchell Marsh’s cricketing life. When he’s hot, he’s molten. When he’s cold, he’s frozen solid. Right now, though, Marsh is on fire hotter than a Perth summer. After back-to-back match-winning knocks in New Zealand and a T20I century that looked like he was playing a different sport altogether, whispers have […]
Every once in a while, cricket gifts us a leader who doesn’t just win matches but rewires the way we think about the game. Rohit Sharma, the man who turned calmness into a weapon and selflessness into a strategy, is exactly that. His journey as India’s captain wasn’t about chasing milestones or records (though he […]
So, it’s official, Shubman Gill is now India’s new ODI captain. The 26-year-old replaces Rohit Sharma, a man whose calm leadership and unmatched consistency helped India dominate the format for years. That’s a massive pair of shoes to fill, and no, we’re not just talking about Rohit’s size nine sneakers. Gill has already shown glimpses […]
Every World Cup throws up that one fixture everyone expects to be straightforward until it isn’t. England vs Bangladesh Women in Guwahati could be that curveball. On paper, England are miles ahead, stacked with world-class names and fresh off a demolition job against South Africa. But when the pitch turns and the air gets thick […]

While many fans are thrilled to see fresh energy leading Team India, others can’t help but feel this decision came a bit too early. After all, replacing a proven leader like Rohit Sharma is no […]
When India plays at home, you can almost smell the dominance in the air. Ahmedabad witnessed that familiar script again, one of control, skill, and sheer ruthlessness. Under Shubman Gill’s first Test as captain on home soil, India made sure the West Indies never stood a chance. The hosts wrapped things up by an innings […]
If cricket is chess, Australia is the chessboard where unfiltered aggression rubs shoulders with clever counterpunching. Strong sunlight, peculiar bounce, and crowds ramped to 11 force quicks into full throttle, and anything less than 140 is a recipe for disaster. The history of success in Australia showed that, to win, you needed pace, aggression, and […]
Ah, the classic selection headache — and no, it’s not about who’ll open or who’ll keep wickets this time. It’s about India’s spin strategy. With the Women’s ODI World Cup around the corner and Sri Lanka looking sharper than they have in years, the big question on every fan’s mind is: will India stick with […]
Each World Cup launches with visions of triumph – South Africa Women’s opening tournament was a nightmare instead. Bowled out for a paltry 69 runs, the Proteas’ first show at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 was as startling and short. But that’s the beauty of cricket – rebuilding is just as much the […]
