Cricket has a funny way, much like life, of flipping the script when you feel that a side is ‘game over’. England were cruising at 300 for 3, with Joe Root and Harry Brook putting on a batting clinic, chasing down a target that seemed all but wrapped up. The fans had a pint in […]

No doubt about it—Day 5 at The Oval delivered Test cricket in its purest, most thrilling form. England required only 35 runs and had four wickets remaining, but England was only thinking of losing it… India was in a position to steal it. And not just the win—records set, milestones reached, history created. Five events […]
It is not only an extraordinary feat when people still discuss a sports match that happened 20 years ago as if it took place yesterday, but a peerless achievement. The second Test of the 2005 Ashes series at Edgbaston was not a cricket match, instead, it was a two-day roller-coaster of moments filled with high-octane […]
You know that one player who just refuses to stop? The one who keeps charging in, over and over, while others are on their knees, gasping for breath? That’s Mohammed Siraj for India this series. Former England pacer Steve Harmison said it best — “Siraj never looked like running out of steam.” And he wasn’t […]
If you kept up with the 2025 England vs India Test series, you would have been hearing a lot about Yashasvi Jaiswal. The young opener has been crushing it (both literally and figuratively), and after Day 3 at The Oval, former India batting great Navjot Singh Sidhu stated, “Jaiswal is now above greatness”. A huge […]
Let’s be honest—every cricket series has its hidden star performer. And there are times when there is one player who does not just show up for a series; he has shown up. This is exactly what Mohammed Siraj has done throughout the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, but especially on Day 2 of the Test match at […]
Let’s face it—Mohammed Siraj might not be the most glamorous name in Indian cricket. He doesn’t have Bumrah’s star power, Shami’s seam bowling nous, or a cult status like Kohli or Rohit. But if you’ve been following the 2025 England vs India series closely over the past few test matches, he’s the one who’s done […]
Some innings build gradually. Some batters explode. Washington Sundar’s fifty on Day 3 of the 5th Test against England? That was an explosion. Coming in to bat when India was nine down, the soft-spoken all-rounder went into beast mode and went ballistic with the bat, hitting four sixes and four fours en route to a […]
Cricket fans love a good retirement tease, especially when it’s AB de Villiers and MS Dhoni doing the teasing. As the players took to the field for the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025, we were left wondering if AB de Villiers would be making his IPL return. But rather than entertain the idea or […]
If you follow cricket, you’ll have seen how some players change gear at pressure moments, as if there’s an extra-special ability hidden in their pocket. Cue Mohammed Siraj — the converted unplayable variant of yourself that we see every time Jasprit Bumrah is not around. No, it isn’t clickbait. It is a fascinating cricketing mystery […]
Cricket has this funny way of flipping the script just when you think the ending is written. For India, bowling comebacks have become a calling card—especially after opposition openers lay down the gauntlet. There’s something electric about watching a team go from battered to boss-mode, and Indian bowlers have mastered that transition. Be it raw […]
