From Virat Kohli's 50th ODI Ton To Glenn Maxwell's Great Wankhede Heist, A Look At Top Cricketing Moments Of 2023

Cricket is a game of moments. More than the sounds of the bat and ball, the mini physical, statistical, mental and status-based match-ups and moments that come during a game define the sport and capture the excitement, joy, heartbreak, ecstasy, and sadness it brings. All it takes is a single moment to win a game, to capture a World Cup, to become an unlikely hero and to break a million of hearts.

Warner set for Sydney farewell as Australia name unchanged squad

David Warner has been given the hometown farewell from test cricket he craved after the opening batsman was named in an unchanged Australia line-up for the third and final test against Pakistan in Sydney next week.

Pat Cummins: From Championship Titles To Personal Demons, Inspiring Australia Skipper Conquers Everything

2023 will be remembered as the year of skipper Pat Cummins, as the silent, smiling Australian assassin guided the multi-time World Cup-winning side to numerous memorable championship title wins and concluded the year with a huge win over Pakistan in the Boxing Day Test, in which he also took a ten-wicket haul. The year is definitely not the one to remember for Cummins on a personal front, as he lost his mother Maria to breast cancer in March of this year.

Captain Cummins "really happy" as Australians close out successful year in style

Captain Pat Cummins declared himself delighted at the end of a landmark year for Australian cricket as his 10-wicket haul in the second test win over Pakistan in Melbourne secured his entry into an elite band of bowlers.

Watch: Same Delivery, Same Result As Babar Azam Falls To An Unplayable Ripper

It was deja vu all over again for Pakistan batter Babar Azam as Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood sent him packing with a ripper on Day 4 of the ongoing Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday. Hazlewood's inswinging delivery was similar to the one his captain and fellow pacer Pat Cummins bowled to get rid of Babar. After pitching, the ball nipped back sharply to rattle the stumps, with Babar, who was batting brilliantly on 41, pretty late to get into his strides. Babar's dismissal in the second innings was pretty similar to the one in the first innings.

India vs South Africa: How Kagiso Rabada Is Proving To Be A Thorn For Rohit Sharma In All Formats

Indian captain Rohit Sharma's vulnerability against Kagiso Rabada continued with his dismissal in the first innings of the opening Test match in Centurion on Tuesday. He was again dismissed by the same bowler on Thursday in India's second innings, that too for a duck. Rohit Sharma has been a prime target for Kagiso Rabada across all formats and has been troubled consistently. The South African paceman has now dismissed Sharma a total of 14 times across formats, which is the highest by any bowler.

Australia vs Pakistan 2nd Test, Day 3: Mitchell Marsh Leads Australia's Fightback After Pakistan Blitz

Mitchell Marsh hit a counter-attacking 96 in a fighting rescue mission with a dogged Steve Smith Thursday to help Australia build a 241-run lead and regain control of the second Test against Pakistan. The hosts were reeling at 16-4 after dismissing Pakistan for 264 in reply to their first innings 318 in Melbourne. But Marsh and Smith put their heads down to compile what could be a match-saving 153-run partnership. At stumps on day three, the hosts were 187-6 with Smith out for 50, off 176 balls, in the last over of the day, leaving Alex Carey unbeaten on 16.

Watch: "Crocodile Jaw..." - Pakistan Star Roasted Once Again For Dropped Catch Against Australia

Pakistan cricket team star Abdullah Shafique was once again criticised heavily after he dropped a sitter at first slip to provide a lifeline to Mitchell Marsh on Day 3 of the second Test match against Australia in Melbourne. It was a straightforward chance but he ended up closing his hands too soon and the ball bounced out much to the disappointment of Pakistan. Shafique had earlier dropped a catch from David Warner in the first innings and former Australia slip fielder Mark Waugh was not impressed.“Like a crocodile jaw trying to take a catch. Get him out of there,” Waugh said on commentary.
