Usman Khawaja's maiden test century in the first Test match of the Ashes was an emotional one as he remembered the time when the crowd used to troll him for not scoring in England. Khawaja displayed an excellent show in the first innings of Australia on the 2nd day of the 1st Test match of the Ashes series. He scored 126 (279)* as Australia trailed by 82 runs, scoring 311/5.
MS Dhoni is the benchmark for any Indian cricket team 'finisher'. With his unique style of batting, he often pulled the Indian cricket team out of danger. Despite not being the most technically sound batter, in the traditional sense of the phrase, MS Dhoni was effective to the core both for the Indian cricket team and the Chennai Super Kings. HIs records speaks for itself. So, when a batter or player gets compared to him, one ought to take notice. And if that comparison is done by the great Sunil Gavaskar, then it holds extra significance.
England's Bazball was given a reality check by the Indian team as Ben Stokes & Co. suffered a 434-run defeat at the hands of Rohit Sharma's side in the 3rd Test of the 5-match series. Despite going 1-2 down in the series, some England players including the veteran James Anderson and opening batter Ben Duckett have been making bold statements that haven't gone down well with some of the legends of the game. Former England captain Michael Vaughan, one of those displeased by the touring team's performance and comments, launched a scathing attack, calling some of the comments 'disrespectful'.
Former England captain Michael Atherton reserved huge praise for Yashasvi Jaiswal after the young India batter scored his second double century in as many games against the visitors. Jaiswal leads the run-scoring charts with 545 runs in three matches, having smashed 209 and 214 runs in the second and third Test respectively. In the recently concluded third Test, Jaiswal took the charge against England great James Anderson, carting three consecutive sixes of him on Day 4.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is now clearly the best performer for the Indian cricket team in the Test series against England. After a double ton, Yashasvi Jaiswal has now scored a ton against England. The left-handed opener is proving time and again why India can rely on him in the long term. The century on Saturday was a dominating one. Jaiswal's (104 retired hurt off 133 balls) second ton of the series was beautifully complemented by Shubman Gill (65 batting, 120 balls), who curbed his natural aggression as India ended the day at 196 for 2 in 51 available overs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal raised injury concern for India during the ongoing third Test against England in Rajkot. The batter went off the the field mid-way during his batting after struggling with back spasm. The southpaw was unbeaten at the score of 104 before the start of the 45th over of India's second innings when he decided to get back to the dressing room. Before taking the decision, Jaiswal was seen struggling on the ground with his back. The physio gave him temporary treatment twice but that could keep the batter on the ground only for a couple of overs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal's dream season just got better as he singlehandedly seized the initiative from England with a sizzling century, putting India in complete control at the end of third day's play in the third Test. Jaiswal's (104 retired hurt off 133 balls) second ton of the series was beautifully complemented by Shubman Gill (65 batting, 120 balls), who curbed his natural aggression as India ended the day at 196 for 2 in 51 available overs. The left-handed opener, who will be torch-bearer of Indian batting for the next decade, scored his third Test hundred in only seventh Test appearance before the blazing blade was brought to a halt by back spasms that forced him to retire.
Six years since his appearance in the Ranji Trophy, Bhuvneshwar Kumar marked his return to India's premiere domestic red-ball tournament in style on Friday. Bhuvneshwar led Uttar Pradesh's fightback against Bengal at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, claiming a five-wicket on Day 1 of the contest. After UP were bowled out for 60 in their first innings, Bhuvneshwar bagged a five-for to restrict Bengal to 95/5 at Stumps. The 33-year-old started his spell with wickets of Sourav Paul and Sudip Kumar Gharami, respectively, before dismissing getting Anustup Majumdar, captain Manoj Tiwary and Ishan Porel.
England will host Zimbabwe in a men's Test match for the first time in 22 years in May 2025. The four-day Test will take place from May 28-31, with the venue for the one-off match to be confirmed at a later date. Jimmy Anderson, England's leading Test wicket-taker, made his debut the last time his country faced Zimbabwe in 2003. "We are delighted to be able to host Zimbabwe for a men's Test match for the first time in two decades," ECB chief executive Richard Gould said on Tuesday.
