There aren’t many moments in cricket where a schedule announcement generates the same buzz as a tournament opener, but the 2026 T20 World Cup isn’t your typical edition. When the ICC unveils the full fixture list on November 25, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. IST, fans won’t just be watching for dates. They’ll be watching for […]

Each time India loses at home in test cricket, the weather prompts some to blame the pitch, others to blame the toss, and still others to blame the weather (even when the weather is extremely aggressive). However, in Guwahati last week, neither the weather nor the pitch would take the fall. India crumbled from 201 […]
For a team that just stumbled out of a bruising Test series against South Africa, India’s return to ODIs should’ve been a chance to reset, regroup, and reassert white-ball authority. Instead, the squad announcement has triggered a familiar old debate: What exactly is India’s selection philosophy right now? With Bumrah and Siraj out of […]
There’s something beautifully ironic about the Arun Jaitley Stadium being at the heart of a T20 World Cup: a venue historically known for low-bounce skidders will now decide high-stakes modern cricket. And with the 2026 T20 World Cup returning to India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8, Delhi’s schedule isn’t just a […]
Strange things happen after an IPL title. Some teams break up, some panic-buy, and then there’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who, after finally lifting the trophy in 2025, have walked into the 2026 Auction with a calmness usually reserved for a Test batter on 200. But beneath that calm surface lies a ticking concern: Josh Hazlewood’s […]

From 2000 to 2023, losing in India required extraordinary bad luck, a collective batting meltdown, or a date with Shane Warne’s googly nightmares. And then suddenly, almost overnight, the fortress cracked. First, New Zealand swept them 3-0 in […]
The unpredictability surrounding this Bangladesh-Ireland T20I Series – Two teams are going to go head-to-head in Chattogram at the end of a long journey, with each team’s goal for the series being drastically different; each team is trying to find out what makes them special, but, each team desperately needs to win. The Irish are […]
At one point, winning a Test match in India required an almost mythical achievement that was often passed down from cricketing grandparents. Between 2013 and 2025, India experienced 18 consecutive home Test series wins without suffering a loss. They seemed to be aging well as spin bowlers, while fast bowlers would bully opponents with ease. […]
Every epoch of cricket greatness has an instant where the heroes leave the playing field and enter a new kind of limelight.
