Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan highlighted the reason behind his team's loss in the third T20I of the five-match series against England at the Nirajan Shah Stadium in Rajkot on Tuesday. England defeated India by 26 runs in the third T20I to keep the five-match series alive, making the scoreline 2-1. England set a target of 172 runs, which India could not chase down despite early fireworks from Abhishek Sharma. "In the T20 format ability to rotate the strike is very important on slightly slower wicket. India left it too much for too late in the end," Irfan Pathan wrote in a post on X.

"Leg-Spinner, Skilled At No. 8 Or 9": Ex-Australia Captain Admits Judgment Error About Steve Smith

Former Australian Test captain Tim Paine has shared his thoughts on Steve Smith's debut and rapid ascent to becoming one of the nation's greatest cricketers, ahead of Smith's milestone of 10,000 runs. Paine also believes Smith still has much more to contribute to the sport. Paine made his Australian debut alongside Smith in 2010 at Lord's against Pakistan. Smith, initially chosen as a bowling all-rounder, scored 1 and 12 in his debut Test, batting at number 8. Paine said everyone expected him to be just a leg spinner with the ability to bat competently at number 8 or 9, but no one thought he would define a generation of cricket.
