South Delhi Superstarz certainly has did the unthinkable in the ongoing Delhi Premier League (DPL) T20, as the ShikharDhawan-co-owned team bludgeoned 308 runs in their 20 overs against North Delhi Strikers. Witnessing the complete mayhem put up by Priyansh Arya and Ayush Badoni of South Delhi was surreal. The two lads bludgeoned a partnership of 286 runs in just a matter of 99 balls. Due to the batsmen' combined hitting, none of the North Delhi Strikers' bowlers knew where to place their deliveries. Priyansh Arya lit up the Arun Jaitley Stadium with six sixes off left-arm spinner Manan Bhardwaj. Barring PranshuVijayran, none of the North Delhi bowler had an economy rate of under 10. Also, had Siddharth Solanki not leaked just 9 runs off the last over, we could’ve seen the world record set by Nepal take a hit. Thirteen of the 120 balls that were bowled in the first innings went over the boundary ropes, with nineteen of those going for fours. That sums up to 50 sixes and fo

There is no doubt that JaspritBumrah is the most important player in Indian cricket across the three formats at present. In the T20 World Cup 2024, his pace and precision were crucial to helping India win the title. The marquee pacer remains key to the plans of India for winning more ICC trophies in the years to come. Bumrah left everyone stunned when he was asked if he has come across ‘tough’ batters in his career that he was troubled against. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Bumrah was asked “if there is any batsman who he thinks has been tough to bowl to.”  While answering this question, Bumrah said, "Look, I want to give a good answer, but the real factor is that I don’t want anyone to take over me in my head because obviously I respect everyone, but in my head I tell myself that if I do my job well, there’s nobody in the world who can stop me. Watch the video  here . “So I look at myself rather than the opponent, so if I think that I have control over everythin

Devdutt Padikkal has targeted the Duleep Trophy to perform well to warrant his case in red ball format. While DevduttPadikkal faces tough challenge to make it to the India Playing XI owing to the return of KL Rahul, but strong performances in domestic cricket will do him wonders. Earlier in the year, Devdutt Padikkal made his debut in the IND vs ENG Test series. He got his chance after RajatPatidar got inured in training. And the southpaw took his chance. He went on to slam a fifty on Test debut and will be looking to replicate his form in Duleep Trophy as well. Padikkal said, “Yeah, definitely it’s (Duleep Trophy) a very important tournament. You don’t get too many opportunities at the highest level. So, it’s important that I continue to score runs and the Duleep Trophy gives me an opportunity for that. I had a really good red ball season last year, that gave me the India opportunity. Obviously, making my debut was something very special. So, I have to keep continuing that form as the

The upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, set to begin in November, has been extended to five Tests for the first time in over three decades. This makes it “right on par” with the Ashes series for Australia’s pace star Mitchell Starc. The marquee series between India and Australia was extended by a match this year for the first time since the 1991–92 season.Starc said, “Being five matches now it’s probably right on par with an Ashes series.” Since 2014–15, Australia have failed to lay their hands on the Border Gavsakar Trophy, with India winning four consecutive series including the historic victory in 2018–19 and 2020–21. Starc is not only intent on reversing this trend but also harbours aspirations of a clean sweep, particularly as the series forms a crucial part of the World Test Championship. He said, “We always want to win every game at home and we know India are a very strong team.As we’re placed at the minute we’re the top two teams on the Test ladder… so a very excitin

Three years ago, when Mohammed Shami posted back-to-back updates on his Instagram account, with one of them having the caption: “Ball in hand and obsession in my heart, ready to turn the game,” it gave rise to hopes of seeing him back in action soon. One of the premier pacers of team India was last seen in the blues in the ODI World Cup final against Australia last year. But big question marks about Shami’s comeback were raised when his name didn't feature in any of the four squads announced for the Duleep Trophy. Except captain Rohit Sharma, star batter Virat Kohli, pacer spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and ace all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin, all other prominent Indian cricketers were picked for the prestigious tournament, which the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee believed would act as a precursor to India's home season. It starts with a two-match Test series against Bangladesh, followed by three more against New Zealand. The presence of Shami was expected from the Banglades
