Vaibhav Tripathi Mohammed Siraj, the standout performer among the Indian bowlers in the first innings of the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) Final, provided insights on Travis Head’s dismissal, the behavior of the pitch, and the strategic adjustments that India made on day 2. Travis Head, Australia’s leading run-scorer in the first innings, fell victim to Siraj’s short ball ploy on the second day. Throughout the session, Siraj relentlessly targeted Head with a series of short deliveries, causing him difficulties, and eventually, dismissed him. So, that brings up a question as to whether India could have tried more short deliveries…

Provided the recovery from the left-knee surgery that he underwent at the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season goes as planned, MS Dhoni will be back for one last title tilt with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2024. Sources in the corporate world confirmed as much to RevSportz earlier this week, though neither Dhoni nor the franchise plan to release any statements to that effect until it gets closer to the start of the season. After CSK’s thrilling last-ball triumph against Gujarat Titans in the IPL final on May 28, Dhoni had travelled to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani…





Scott Boland and Pat Cummins struck in quick succession as Australian cemented their strong position in the World Test Championship final at The Oval. At tea on the second afternoon, India were 37-2, still 432 runs in arrears. After wrapping up Australia’s first innings for 469, the Indian camp needed a steady start. For a while, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill looked in good touch, adding 30 runs in just six overs. Both looked to employ the pull shot, with Gill even cracking one in front of square on the on-side off Cummins. Cummins then decided to replace Mitchell Starc…

There are a number of mitigating factors that the Indian think-tank could point to for not selecting R Ashwin in the playing XI for the World Test Championship (WTC) final. But as the opening day wore on, with India’s bowlers not able to exert a semblance of control under an ever-brighter sun, it was hard not to look at Ashwin sitting in the stands and think: What if? Leaving any emotion aside, the facts themselves are pretty instructive. Since Ashwin became a…

Written By Vaibhav Tripathi According to Paras Mhambrey, India’s bowling coach, the decision to exclude Ravichandran Ashwin, the off-spinner currently ranked No.1 in the Test format, from the World Test Championship (WTC) final was influenced by the conditions observed on the morning of the match. Mhambrey also expressed his concerns about the bowlers’ performance, noting that they appeared flat and lacked discipline after the initial hour on day one. That allowed the Australian batsmen to score freely and reach a total of 327 for 3 by the end of the opening day. Considering the conditions at The Oval, India decided…

Vaibhav Tripathi Ross Taylor, the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) winner, expressed his belief that Ravichandran Ashwin would have been a formidable option against Australia’s left-handed batters in the WTC final. Taylor also said that he understood the reasoning behind including four seamers, considering the prevailing conditions at The Oval. “Australia have 5 lefties.. he could have been a handful against them but I understand the decision that Rohit (Sharma) and Rahul (Dravid) took with grass and weather around,” Taylor said in an exclusive chat with RevSportz. The rise in popularity of T20 cricket has made it the most favoured…
