Cricket Australia, in association with the Western Australian Cricket Association (WACA), is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring the success of the West Test between India and Australia at Optus Stadium, which will mark the start of the five-match series on November 22. The game is already generating significant buzz in the local media. In a bid to build the excitement ahead of the West Test, Perth’s public spaces are being transformed. The Perth train station is adorned with striking images of the two rival captains, Rohit Sharma and Pat Cummins, fuelling anticipation for the high-stakes contest. Cricket Australia, along…

The Indian cricket team is currently touring Australia for the much-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which gets underway at the Optus stadium in Perth from November 22. Rohit Sharma and his boys will play five Test matches against the Aussies. The Indian captain did not travel to Australia with the team owing to family commitments. The Indian cricketers will be practicing at the WACA ground over the next week, trying to acclimatise to the conditions and pitches. It is always challenging for visiting teams to tour Down Under. The Indians did find it tough as it took them 71 years after their…

Indian cricket team will embark on a five-Test series against Australia, starting from November 22 at the Optus stadium in Perth. It is going to be a challenging couple of months for the Indian cricketers Down Under, as Pat Cummins & Co will come hard at the tourists, having lost the previous two Test series against the same opponents in their backyard. This will be the third Test series that I will be covering in Australia, previous two being in 2011-12 and 2018-19. Team Revsportz will be Down Under at full strength to cover the series which promises to be…

Mohammedan Sporting will have their task cut out against a rejuvenated East Bengal side when they face each other in the ISL Derby at the Yuva Bharati Krirangan on Saturday, November 9. The two sides have not had the greatest of starts in the ongoing ISL, languishing at the bottom of the points table. While Mohammedan Sporting registered a win against Chennaiyin FC, Red and Golds have suffered six straight defeats so far in the league. However, under new coach Oscar Bruzon, East Bengal made a turnaround, reaching the quarter-finals of AFC Challenge League. Dipendu Biswas, former India footballer and…

It is a huge occasion for Mohammedan Sporting club as they are set to make their debut in Indian Super League against Northeast United on Monday, September 16, 2024. The 133-year-old club (established in 1891), has a rich history and legacy associated with it. Regarded as one of the three giants of Calcutta football (along with East Bengal and Mohun Bagan) Mohammedan Sporting won the first ever Calcutta Football League in 1934. In fact, the club went on to win the league for a record five consecutive times. Post Independence, Mohammedan Sporting became the first Indian club to win a…

Debasis Sen and Snehasis Mukherjee In a rare display of solidarity, Mohun Bagan, East Bengal, and Mohammedan Sporting fans came together, demanding justice for the RG Kar rape and murder victim on Sunday, August 18. Thousands of supporters from the three big clubs gathered for a peaceful protest in front of the Salt Lake Stadium, after the Durand Cup organisers were forced to cancel Sunday’s Kolkata Derby, citing lack of police forces. Subhasish Bose, who was supposed to lead Mohun Bagan Super Giants in the derby against arch-rivals East Bengal, was seen in the protest gathering along with his wife…

Kuldeep Yadav played a huge role in the Indian cricket team lifting the ICC T20 World Cup in the Caribbean. The left-arm spinner from Kanpur picked up 10 wickets from five games at an economy rate of 6.95. Looking at Kuldeep’s performance, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi even hailed him as Desh ka Deep [light of the nation]. Kuldeep, who is currently enjoying his time with family, will be flying to Berlin soon to watch the Euro 2024 football final. In a freewheeling chat with RevSportz, he shared his views on the successful campaign, Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, his role in…

For those 22 representatives of the Indian media, it was an opportunity of a lifetime to travel in the same flight that carried the players of the Indian team, who in turn had just emerged triumphant in the T20 World Cup. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah should be credited for taking an initiative to organise a chartered flight carrying the Indian team along with the media representatives who were also stranded in Barbados. Following a four-day wait due to harsh weather conditions (Hurricane Beryl and its aftereffects) in Barbados, the Indian cricket board…

Debasis Sen in Barbados It was an emotional moment for Rohit Sharma and his boys to emerge champions of the ICC T20 World Cup on Saturday, beating South Africa by seven runs in the final at the Kensington Oval. Chasing 176 runs to win, the Proteas batters fell short. It was a truly dominating performance from Team India to win the coveted T20 World Cup. For me, it was an emotional moment as well, having covered almost all the men’s ICC events in the last 15 years. It was extremely satisfying after having witnessed the loss against Australia at home…
