Cricket South Africa (CSA) has announced the eagerly anticipated schedule for the inaugural tour of the Proteas Women to Pakistan, setting the stage for an exhilarating start to their 2023/24 season.
The exit of Ishan Kishan from the upcoming Duleep Trophy left the selectors in dilemma. The India wicketkeeper-batter, who was named in the squad for the World Test Championship final against Australia opted out of the East Zone team, just a month before the West Indies tour. As a replacement, the selectors have named Bengal cricketer Abhishek Porel for keeping the wickets. The decision came as a shocker as the selectors did not go with Wriddhiman Saha, who is an experienced gloveman and an ace batter.
Two of the finest seamers England have produced, James Anderson and Stuart Broad have done wonders in the Test format. But, as experienced as they are, they don't feature for England on a regular basis. But, when it came to deciding the team composition for the first Ashes Test against Australia, England skipper Ben Stokes knew he had to pick Broad, because of the 'history'. When asked about Broad's selection, Stokes explained the decision to pick the veteran pacer, citing the example of India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.
Unarguably an icon for this generation of cricketers, Ravichandran Ashwin's numbers speak for themselves. The spinner has tormented batting attacks from all across the world, especially in red-ball cricket. However, there was a phase in Ashwin's life where an injury forced him to think long and hard about his career. In fact, Ashwin had told his wife Prithi that the home series against Australia (earlier this year) could become his last. In an interview, Ashwin opened up on that phase in his career and more.
India batter Ruturaj Gaikwad was at the peak of his powers during a Maharashtra Premier League (MPL) 2023 fixture between Puneri Bappa and Kolhapur Tuskers. Chasing a target of 145, Gaikwad led the charge for Puneri, slamming a quickfire fifty to set up a convincing win for his team. Gaikwad, who recently got married, slammed five sixes and as many fours on his way to a 27-ball 64. Puneri Bappa chased down the target with 29 balls and eight wickets to spare.
India batter KL Rahul, who is currently working on his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, shared a video on his social media, updating the fans about his recovery. Rahul, who captained Lucknow Super Giants, was injured during the IPL and had to pull out of the tournament and the subsequent World Test Championship final after a thigh surgery was advised. He also underwent a successful operation in the United Kingdom and now shared a video of his workout routine.
The Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 isn't just proving to be an enthralling contest between the bat and the ball but also between players and officials. During the match between Dindigul Dragons vs Ba11sy Trichy in Coimbatore, two DRS reviews were taken on the same delivery, in a never-seen-before incident. It was India's veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin deciding to review the matter for the second time on the same ball after the third umpire had overturned the on-field umpire's decision following the batter's DRS review.
MS Dhoni's love for bikes isn't hidden from anyone. The former India captain has a collection of some of the finest motorbikes at his Ranchi farmhouse. As the Indian cricketing spectrum enters the phase of 'rest' after the conclusion of the World Test Championship final, an old video of Dhoni has resurfaced where he could be seen riding through the streets with former India pacer S Sreesanth sitting right behind him. The rarely-seen video got fans buzzing on social media.
