The Indian cricket squad may have been one of the strongest teams of the world and it may have been performing well in the bilateral series but its failure in winning any ICC trophy for almost 10 years now has left fans very disappointed and hurt. The last ICC trophy that was won by team India was the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 which India won under the leadership of MS Dhoni and since then, it has failed in winning any ICC trophy despite coming close to the trophy quite a few times. Many overseas cricketers especially from the England cricket team have praised the Indian Premier League after winning the World Cup tournaments for improving their game in the shortest format but at the same time, it has given a chance to haters to slam the IPL and say that the Indian T20 league has benefitted everyone except the Indian cricketers. Not just the Indian cricket team but the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) is also on the receiving end because of the Indian cricket team’s cons...

The Pakistani cricket team skipper Babar Azam is certainly one of the finest batters of all times and he is not just Men’s ODI Cricketer of the year (2022) but he also won the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy. In 2022, Babar Azam was in sublime form as he scored 2600 runs across all the formats and he also led his team into the finals of two big tournaments – Asia Cup 2022 and ICC CT20 World Cup 2022. Last year, the Pakistani team won 3 ODI series under his captaincy and he played half-century knocks in 8 out of 9 matches. However, Babar Azam was not able to perform well in ICC T20 World Cup 2022 and his captaincy also came under scanner after Pakistan failed in winning the trophy. Though he performed well in test matches, he was slammed a lot as Pakistan lost the test series against England and Australia. The 2-match test series between Pakistan and New Zealand was drawn and many cricket fans and former cricketers were of the opinion that the Pakistani board is preparing flat pitches for ...

The year 2023 is quite important as far as cricket is concerned because Asia Cup 2023 and ICC ODI World Cup 2023 are slated to be played this year and the Indian cricket fans are a little happy because now their favorite batter Virat Kohli is back in form. Virat Kohli went through a rough phase for almost 3 years but he got his mojo back in Asia Cup 2022 as he scored a century against Afghanistan. Though India failed to win Asia Cup 2022 and ICC T20 World Cup 2022, Virat Kohli batted pretty well throughout both the tournaments and his performance in the past few bilateral series has also been superb. However, he will face a big test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy which is going to start from 9 th Feb 2023, the 4-match series will be played in India and the former Indian skipper will like to come out of lean phase in test matches as well by making some big scores against a formidable opposition in the form of Australia. If you remember, earlier when Virat Kohli was struggling with fo...

The Indian cricket team has been performing pretty well in the white ball cricket whether it is T20I format or ODI format but many cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as they believe that test cricket is the purest form of the game. Australia will be visiting India for 4-match test series starting from 9 th February 2023 and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has already announced the Indian team for the first two test matches. While Ravindra Jadeja’s presence will be confirmed only after checking his fitness levels at that time, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan have received their maiden calls for test. However, a section of cricket fans is very disappointed and angry with the selectors for not giving a chance to the young cricketer Sarfaraz Khan. Sarfaraz Khan has been performing in an exemplary manner in the domestic cricket and recently he scored three centuries for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy. He is the second batter in the world crick...

The head coach of the Indian cricket team, Rahul Dravid must be a happy man as India has whitewashed the 3-match ODI series against New Zealand after defeating the hosts by 90 runs in the final ODI which was played yesterday at Holkar Stadium, Indore. Rahul Dravid interacted with mediapersons ahead of the third ODI and he faced some really tough questions in regard to India’s preparation for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. When Rahul Dravid is asked whether the Indian team management is looking for a wicketkeeper like Rahul Dravid for the ODI World Cup, he says that there is no doubt they are looking for a wicketkeeper-batter and unfortunately the practice of having a specialist wicketkeeper has got over after MS Dhoni got retired. The former Indian cricketer states that they are really lucky that the young guys who are in contention, whether it is Ishan Kishan or KS Bharat, they both are good batters and they have shown their talent in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, however as far as the i...
