Akash Madhwal, the standout performer for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL 2023 Eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), firmly asserts that he does not perceive himself as a mere substitute for Jasprit Bumrah.

With Bumrah and Jofra Archer injured, Madhwal took the opportunity to shine, claiming remarkable figures of 5/5 in 3.3 overs. His exceptional performance helped the five time IPL winners secure an emphatic 81-run victory and advance to the next stage of the tournament. With thirteen…

Akash Madhwal was just a couple of weeks short of his 26th birthday when he first represented his state.

Tongue is expected to provide cover for the experienced pacer James Anderson, who is recovering from a minor groin strain. Additionally, Ollie Robinson’s ankle issue is likely to prevent him from featuring in the Test at Lord’s. Alongside Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes, Matthew Potts, and Mark Wood, the 25-year-old pacer will form part of the fast bowling department for the match commencing on June 1. Tongue’s journey has been marked by resilience, as he battled a shoulder injury…

Things are going very well for cricket as far as inclusion in the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 is concerned. Sources in the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Cricket Council (ICC) have both confirmed to Revsportz that unless something goes dramatically wrong in the next month or so, cricket is all set to be announced as an Olympic sport at the IOC session in Mumbai in October 2023.
