Kishan walked out at 29 for 2 in Harare on July 25, 2026, and left with 81 off 44 balls next to his name. That knock answers the question India has carried into this series: can he anchor the middle overs the way he opens an innings? A 66-run stand with Iyer and a 94-run […]

Three matches into the Global Super League and one team has already separated itself completely from the rest of the pack. The PSL champions have played twice, won twice, and done it with a game plan that looks alarmingly complete for a tournament barely a single weekend old. No other side has even reached a […]
Because interim protects the ECB from having to commit publicly to a decision it has already quietly made in practice. Root is being handed the Pakistan series with reports already pointing to his tenure through next year’s Ashes, which is not what interim normally means in any professional dressing room. The label buys the boardroom […]
Fifteen-year-old Sooryavanshi has played the same number of matches as an opener as Abhishek Sharma had at the same career stage, and the scoreboard is not remotely close. He has scored 478 more runs at a strike rate 83.37 points higher, with four centuries against Abhishek’s one. Age gap aside, the difference comes down to […]
India’s pace attack conceded 82 runs in the final five overs at Lord’s, and that single passage of play cost them both the match and the series. England chased down 388 with India managing only 360 for 7 in reply, a 27-run defeat that handed the hosts a 2-1 series win. The real story sits […]
Eighteen balls. That’s all it took. Chasing Zimbabwe’s modest total at the Harare Sports Club on July 23, 2026, the teenager smashed his way to fifty faster than any international cricketer his age ever has, erasing three separate records held by three different players in one sprint. He was out the very next delivery, caught […]
No stadium has been chosen because no match has actually been agreed. Cricket Australia‘s chief executive floated the idea of a neutral Test in India on July 24, 2026, and three grounds immediately stand out as the realistic options: Ahmedabad’s giant Narendra Modi Stadium, Kolkata’s Eden Gardens and Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. Each already has […]
England keeps hosting World Test Championship finals because the ICC signed off on a three-edition deal with the ECB in 2025, not because of some open bidding process every country got a fair shot at. The Oval will stage the 2027 final after Lord’s lost the fixture entirely over pitch concerns raised by the ICC. […]
Deepti Sharma answered the question before Sunrisers Leeds even finished celebrating. Picked up at her base price with no rival bid pushing the number higher, she walked onto The Kia Oval outfield on July 21 and took two wickets that decided the match. Sunrisers Leeds beat MI London by seven wickets with 31 balls unused, […]
Zimbabwe keeps winning these matches because India keeps sending sides that have never handled Harare’s bounce and turn together. It’s a pattern stretching back over a decade at this ground. Shreyas Iyer‘s side arrived on a seven-match losing run, two series defeats deep, searching for his first win as captain. This time the theory nearly […]
Fazal answered the title’s question with twin fifties against Bangladesh, turning two years of anonymity into a Test debut Pakistan won’t forget. He walked into Mirpur in May 2026 unknown outside domestic cricket and left as the match’s leading scorer. Three years earlier, he’d managed just 27 runs in four innings and a golden duck […]
