There’s something about debutants in cricket that gets fans buzzing — will they freeze under the spotlight or grab their moment with both hands? Enter Mitch Owen, the 23-year-old Tasmanian who decided that “playing it safe” wasn’t in his vocabulary. Smacking sixes for fun, grabbing a wicket, and clinching Player of the Match, Owen didn’t […]
We’re in the thick of the India vs England Test series, with plenty of drama off the field from the nets to the physio rooms, and now, the squad itself. In an unconventional but merited call, Haryana’s pace ace Anshul Kamboj from Chennai Super Kings has been brought in as a reserve for India for […]
We all love those “what if” moments in life, don’t we? In cricket — especially IPL — one phone call can change everything.

How much can you potentially throw away before a legitimate match-winner, sitting on the sidelines, costs you?

Let’s be frank—nothing gets a cricket fan’s heart racing like an India vs Pakistan contest.

But what if we restricted the field and assembled an all-time Test XI purely made up of right-handers? It is a useful exercise that will prompt endless debates and also pay respect to some of the bigger […]
What do you think of when you think of Andre Russell? Burning sixes, that flex, and a ton of entertainment, right?
