Injuries, retirements, and transitions — every cricketing giant has to deal with them. And South Africa is currently embarking on its next big reset. Bavuma’s absence due to a hamstring injury in the World Test Championship Final has seen Keshav Maharaj take over the leadership role. But this is more than just a simple match […]

Let’s face it — there’s something truly enjoyable about witnessing a fast bowler build up a batter to then knock them over with a delivery that unfolds like a plan. This is indeed what Shamar Joseph did to Sam Konstas on Day 1 of the Frank Worrell Trophy in Barbados. With the pitch offering just […]
Let’s face the facts — Jasprit Bumrah is not just the best Test pacer India has, he is the attack. So, when India said he would play only three of the five Tests in the 2025 England series, it probably raised more than a few eyebrows. Sure, workload management is important. But then again, sometimes […]
One thing we can all agree on—T-20 cricket is already a bonkers format. Every ball matters, every over can change the entire game, and the PowerPlay? That’s where the fun starts. What do we do where the rain intervenes and you are playing a 9-over shoot-out instead of 20? The PowerPlay overs have been modified, […]
Cricket lovers, get ready! The 18th match of the Major League Cricket 2025 season is going to be a cracker between MI New York and Seattle Orcas, with a few of the tournament’s best batsmen going head to head. There should be fireworks irrespective of whether you’re a stats person or just love watching classy […]
If you missed it, we are fairly certain you could hear the quiet hum that surrounds South Africa’s next cricket venture. With plenty of resting stars and a couple of new faces, the Proteas head off to Harare for a T20I tri-series against Zimbabwe and New Zealand. They will do this under the lesser-known leadership […]

We’ve all had those absolutely dreadful days — you know, where absolutely nothing that happens goes your way, and the more you try, the worse it gets. Unfortunately for Yashasvi Jaiswal, that day probably could – as a professional cricketer – not have come at a worse time till one would think of more — […]
Test cricket is a game of wee margins but big decisions. One wrong decision, either with the bat or the ball, and the game can go from deep in the bag to the other end of the spectrum. And that’s exactly what India experienced most recently (the hard way!) at Headingley. Having completed a warm-up […]
If cricket had a friend zone, Mosaddek Hossain and Nurul Hasan would be lifetime residents. Every season, Hossain and Hasan check all the boxes – they pile up domestic quantity, they are always fit, and they never lose hope – yet their names are inexplicably absent from almost every squad announcement! Bangladesh’s ODI squad for […]
While Nellai Royal Kings (NRK) – Dindigul Dragons (DD) in the 24th match of TNPL 2025 may appear to be all about the batters, don’t be surprised if it turns out to be a bowler’s game. In a tournament with plenty of six-hitting moments, this match must surely be a bowler’s playground. With Sonu Yadav […]
