Vaibhav Tripathi After bagging a five-for in the 2023 World Cup game against Sri Lanka, the Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami emphasized on the point that he is not trying anything fancy, but rather focusing on hitting the right line and length in order to generate movement and take wickets. The right-arm pacer had previously claimed a five-wicket haul and a four-wicket haul in his two preceding matches. Consequently, he now holds the distinction of being India’s most successful bowler in the World Cup history. “I’m trying to bowl in the right areas. Just hit the right lines and lengths…

However, he provided positive updates on Pandya’s recovery progress at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).

-Aatman Khedkar Two sensational strikes from Jude Bellingham – surely the best footballer in the world right now – earned Real Madrid a priceless come-from-behind victory in the first El Clasico of the La Liga season. Playing at their adopted home in Montjuic, Barcelona had led early through Ilkay Gundogan, but it was Bellingham, who has now scored 13 times in his last 16 games for Real and England, that had the last word. A hungry and passionate Barcelona side dominated the first half, with Real showing neither intensity nor ambition. As a coach, Carlo Ancelotti has made…

RevSportz Comment Everyone remembers Lord’s on June 25, 1983. What most don’t know, however, is that the seeds for the most improbable of World Cup victories were sown at the Albion Sports Complex in Guyana three months earlier. India didn’t just beat West Indies, they won fair and square, with Kapil Dev smashing a 38-ball 72, and then leading a complete bowling performance. No one is delusional enough to suggest that Afghanistan will go on and win the World Cup from here. But what they pulled off at Chepauk was undoubtedly their most satisfying and important victory. Beating England, the…

Vaibhav Tripathi South Africa registered a thumping 229-run victory against defending champions England in the 20th match of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. The Proteas set a record total of 399/7, led by Heinrich Klaasen’s brilliant century. England’s run-chase faltered as they lost early wickets and were bowled out for 170. Reflecting on his team’s disastrous performance, England skipper Jos Buttler said in the presentation ceremony: “Incredibly disappointing. We were well beaten. We have come here to play our best cricket. Lots of things didn’t go to plan in the first innings. Reece picked up…

Vaibhav Tripathi Australia captain Pat Cummins revealed that all-rounder Marcus Stoinis could find a place in the playing XI for the game against South Africa. Cummins noted that the all-rounder’s valuable experience of having played at the ground during his time with LSG would help the side. “He’s fit. We’ll announce a team tomorrow but it’s a ground he knows pretty well. I think chatting to him and a couple of other guys, it’s probably in a bit of a different condition to what it is for IPL (Indian Premier League). The wicket looks really good so he’s someone we’ll…

Trisha Ghosal and Rohan Chowdhury in Hangzhou When the goal – 100 medals at the Asian Games – was announced and a slogan coined, quickly followed by multiple promos for TV, one of the common reactions was cynicism tinged with derision. Before winning 70 medals in Jakarta in 2018, India had only thrice crossed the 50-medal barrier, and two of those (1951 and 1982) were home Games. A century seemed a big ask for a country that had finished behind Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Iran and Chinese Taipei in the medals table in 2018. No one’s sniggering now. The target has been…

The ODI World Cup is set to begin at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday (October 5). Defending champions England led by Jos Buttler will meet New Zealand captained by Kane Williamson in the first match. These two teams had met in the ODI World Cup final in 2019. England had snatched a thrilling win back then. In four years, England seem to have grown stronger. They have perhaps the most ballistic batting line-up in the shorter versions — Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan and Ben Stokes to name just a few. Almost all those who hold the bat…
