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.
Former pacer Stuart Broad said England's inexperienced bowling attack may have challenges after star fast bowler James Anderson's retirement. England veteran pacer Anderson announced his decision to retire from Tests after the first match against West Indies at Lord's in July. Anderson, the highest wicket-taker among pace bowlers in Test cricket, will play his final red-ball game for England in July. Anderson has stated that the series opener against the West Indies at Lord's on July 10-14 will be his 188th and last Test match for England after a career spanning over two decades.
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chairperson Richard Thompson hailed veteran pacer James Anderson after he announced his retirement from international cricket, saying that the country will never see a bowler like him again and the team owes him a send-off "like no other". Anderson is set to hang up his boots in the upcoming Test summer following a 22-year-long illustrious international career with England, announced the veteran on his social media. The 41-year-old ageless wonder who has won acclaim for his fitness and pace despite his age, took to Instagram to announce that the first Test of the summer against West Indies on July 10 will mark his final international appearance.
Lancashire's Jimmy Anderson has announced July’s first Test Match against the West Indies at Lord’s will be his final appearance for England.
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.
