Ajinkya Rahane, Prithvi Shaw, Shivam Dube Combine To Smash World Record In Historic Chase For Mumbai

Mumbai made a mockery out of Vidarbha's total of 221/6 to enter the semi-finals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on Wednesday. By doing so, the Shreyas Iyer-led side smashed the record books in T20 cricket. Mumbai achieved the highest successful chase in a Men's T20 knockout game, and are also the first team to chase 220 or more. They surpassed Karachi Dolphins' previous best tally of chasing 210 against Rawalpindi Rams in the semi-final of the Faysal Bank T20 Cup 2010 at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore.

India Given Jasprit Bumrah 'Injury' Reminder After Adelaide Test Loss: "That's Why..."

India captain Rohit Sharma seemed to be hesitant in unleashing Jasprit Bumrah to the full extent as the team suffered a 10-wicket defeat against Australia. Bumrah was India's most successful bowler in the match, yet there are some who felt that the pacer could've been used more. However, former India batter Mohammad Kaif has defended Rohit's approach, saying Bumrah "is the only bowling India have". Hence, Rohit couldn't risk seeing him get injured at such a crucial junction of the series.

"Pressure Is On...": Ex-Australia Star Highlights Area Of Weakness For Australia Ahead Of 3rd Test

As Australia gears up for the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, former Aussie opener David Warner has stressed the importance of the top order delivering big runs, given the "relentless" nature of the Indian bowling attack when they operate in partnerships. The third Test of the series is set to begin on December 14 at the Brisbane Cricket Ground. Following a humbling 295-run defeat to the visitors at Perth's Optus Stadium--where standout performances from Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, and Yashasvi Jaiswal shone through--the hosts made a strong comeback. Exceptional bowling displays from Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, along with a counter-attacking century by Travis Head, helped Australia secure a dominant 10-wicket win, chasing a modest target of 19 runs.
