In domestic cricket, Jaydev Unadkat and Cheteshwar Pujara have become household names for Saurashtra. However, Pujara played 97 red-ball matches for India between Unadkat’s two Test matches, establishing himself as the No. 3 in renowned batting order. Pujara was thrilled when Unadkat, who had been called up to replace Mohammed Shami, finally arrived in Chattogram following a visa delay and was dressed in Indian whites. That was heartfelt, and I could tell he was delighted for me “After returning from Bangladesh, Unadkat told PTI. “Being able to play with him was unique. He advised me to keep working hard throughout…
Back at the location where Adelaide Strikers destroyed them for 15, Thunder’s opening pair of Matthew Gilkes and Alex Hales hammered half-centuries to pass the modest goal of 122 in the 12th over. Heat lost their first game since the start of the season, and Thunder improved to 1-3. Thunder openers exorcise demons 11 deliveries were all it took for Thunder to surpass that terrible amount. Gilkes had a duck that evening and had only produced six runs in four innings this season, but he broke out of it by skillfully hitting great pitchers Mark Steketee and Michael Neser. Before…

After just one year of a three-year tenure, Ramiz Raja has referred to the Pakistani government’s decision to have him resign as PCB chair as “political meddling.” Ramiz stated on his YouTube channel that politics shouldn’t be intertwined with cricket. “A cricket field and game are being played here. Some individuals arrive from outside the circle, thus they had to alter Sethi’s complete constitution in order to adjust him. “When teams are visiting Pakistan in the midst of the season, it is customary to follow certain protocol. The top selector [Mohammad Wasim] has now been replaced, regardless of his performance.…
At Optus Stadium, Perth Scorchers captain Ashton Turner maintained composure to lead his team over league-leading Adelaide Strikers in a low-scoring thriller. Before Turner and Jhye Richardson united for a 43-run partnership, the Scorchers, who were attempting to chase down a modest 134, were in serious trouble at 72 for 6. When it came down to the crucial 19th over, Turner sealed the game by scoring 16 runs off only three quick Henry Thornton deliveries. This season, the Scorchers’ revamped batting order has been hit or miss. In their last match against the Melbourne Stars, they recorded their highest ever…
With a seven-wicket victory against Melbourne Stars at the SCG, Sydney Sixers maintained their dominance over their rivals. Skipper Moises Henriques broke out of a recent slump. The Sixers’ 151-run chase was challenging on a surface with erratic bounce and speed, but Henriques turned back the hands of time to lead the home team to victory with five balls remaining. They defeated the Stars, who have a dismal 1-3 record this year, for the ninth time in a row. Sixers’ sluggish start to the season has mostly been brought on by their ineffective batting order, which Henriques is back to.…
Day one of Pakistan’s first Test against New Zealand was highlighted by Babar Azam’s eighth Test century and Sarfaraz Ahmed’s historic comeback performance, with the hosts recording 317 for 5 thanks to their 196-run fifth-wicket partnership. The two joined forces when Pakistan was in a precarious position of 110 for 4 before lunch, but they batted nearly all the way through to stumps, managing to last for almost two entire sessions. While Babar’s unbroken 161 was the day’s high point and raised his Test average to beyond 50, Sarfaraz’s 86 in his maiden Test appearance in over four years and…
Okay, New Zealand. throughout this World Test Championship cycle, they have lost six of their nine tests. Yes, they served as the experiment’s initial test subjects. Yes, they haven’t played any Test matches since. Despite coming from New Zealand. This doesn’t seem like it would be that bad, does it? It is never done. Yes, New Zealand will be okay because they will plan, nurture, utilise their resources effectively, play their cards well, patiently bide their time, and turn themselves around. Really, it’s only a question of time. However, Pakistan has seen a classic collapse, and some of us are…
Only 11 of the 36 wickets that bowlers claimed during the Test (one was a run-out) went to fast bowlers, while spinners claimed 25 of the wickets. Bangladesh was able to score more runs in the second innings than they did in the first, which placed India’s three spinners under a lot of strain in the fourth innings. In the first innings, there was a lot of discussion over leaving out Kuldeep, the Player of the Match in the last Test. Following the close three-wicket victory, Rahul was questioned on the lineup. However, after observing the field before the game…
“Other teams don’t provide as many opportunities. We miss regulation chances. Our bowlers have to generate 13–14 chances to take 10 wickets. To take ten wickets, opposing teams must generate nine opportunities. We have to find out how better to focus for longer, and avoid making mistakes.” Mominul was given the opportunity immediately after Mehidy Hasan Miraz finished his five-for on the fourth morning by taking Axar Patel’s wicket, leaving India at 74 for 7. Mehidy once again delivered a complete package. Ashwin attempted to tap the covers, but it instead connected with the short leg. Virat Kohli was sent…

On the eve of his 100th Test, David Warner has promised to return to the past in an effort to stop his dry three-year streak in Test cricket ahead of a crucial year for Australia’s Test side. Warner paused to consider how he got here and what made him the player he is in light of his accomplishments. Only four openers in history have scored more than his 24 Test hundreds, and he is only 78 runs away from reaching 8000 Test runs. Yet since January 2020, he hasn’t reached the triple digits in a Test match. Both the team…
Due to terrible weather in Multan, the second and final Test between Pakistan and New Zealand, slated to begin on January 3 in Multan, has been shifted to Karachi and rescheduled to January 2. As ESPNcricinfo reported on Friday, discussions were ongoing between the two boards to restructure the schedule because early January is predicted to bring significant fog and even pollution to Punjab, which includes Multan and Lahore. The Multan weather “already delayed aircraft operations and may possibly potentially result in the loss of playing hours,” the PCB stated in a statement on Saturday. Due to the adjustment, Karachi…
