India women's team captain Mithali Raj on Sunday achieved a massive milestone during the ongoing Women's World Cup match against arch-rivals Pakistan. As Team India took the field for their tournament opener against Pakistan at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, Mithali became the first women's cricketer to feature in six ODI World Cups. The veteran batter had made her World Cup debut in 2000, before also featuring in 2005, 2009, 2013, 2017 and now in 2022.
Virat Kohli received a 'Guard of Honour' from his Indian teammates on Day 2 of the India vs Sri Lanka first Test at the IS Bindra stadium in Mohali on Saturday. The wonderful gesture by the Rohit Sharma-led side was to celebrate Kohli's 100th Test. Just before the start of the third session, Indian players lined up and clapped as Kohli stepped onto the field. He waved with his right hand and briskly made his way into the middle with a big smile on his face. Kohli is only the 12th Indian after Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Anil Kumble, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Sourav Ganguly, Ishant Sharma, Virender Sehwag, and Harbhajan Singh to get the honour of representing the side for 100 or more times.
KOH SAMUI (Thailand): Thai police on Saturday ruled out foul play in the shock death of Australian cricket superstar Shane Warne, who died of a suspected heart attack while on holiday on the paradise island of Koh Samui aged just 52. The "King" of spin's death sparked a global outpouring of grief from prime ministers, rock stars and fellow players, an acknowledgement that the Melbourne native transcended his sport.
Warne's fittingly one-and-a-half times larger than life bronze statue, stunned fans in his native Melbourne made votive offerings of flowers, beer, cigarettes and a meat pie Saturday, remembering an imperfect hero whose outsized skill and personality transcended cricket. When the "King of Spin" attended the unveiling of his likeness outside his beloved Melbourne Cricket Ground more than a decade ago, he quipped that the "wonderful" result made the "about four hours" the sculptor had spent measuring between his nose and ears worthwhile.
Richie Benaud said of Shane Warne, he could spin it on glass.
Great Southern Stand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) will be renamed after the SK Warne Stand as soon as possible, Victorian Sports Minister Martin Pakula announced on Saturday. Australian cricket, along with the entire cricketing world, is in a state of shock at the loss of Shane Warne, a true cricketing genius, who died aged 52. The legendary spinner passed away after a suspected heart attack.
May be because his bowling was actually art. Ask Mike Gatting, the 'solid' English batsman and former captain, whom he bowled with his first ball on English soil at Old Trafford in 1993, with what is now famously called, 'The Ball Of The Century' as it pitched outside leg-stump and took out the off bail.
