Devdutt Padikkal answers India’s No. 3 question with maiden Test ton

Published by Webster

The 26-year-old Devdutt Padikkal has registered his name in India’s cricket history, smashing his maiden Test century on Independence Day during the first Test of the India tour of Sri Lanka in 2026. The left-hander brought up his century at No. 3 after stepping into the role as a replacement for the injured Sai Sudharsan. His century came on August 15, coinciding with India’s 600th Test match, adding another touch of significance to the achievement. He became the second Indian to register an international century on Independence Day and, crucially, the first to do so in the Test format. Previously, Virat Kohli was the only Indian to have achieved the feat. Devdutt Padikkala’s hundred means just two Indian batters have scored international centuries on Independence Day, with Virat Kohli having set the record in the white-ball format.

AAP’s Sanjay Singh moves Rule 267 notice in Rajya Sabha against mandatory E20 fuel Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh on Wednesday (August 5, 2026) submitted a notice under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha, seeking a discussion on the public outrage and consumer rights issues arising from the mandatory implementation of E20 petrol ahead of the Monsoon Session in Parliament. “The government has advanced its ethanol-blending target from 2030 to 2025 and has effectively made E20 petrol the default fuel available at a large number of retail outlets (petrol pumps) nationwide. Consequently, millions of citizens are being compelled to use a fuel for which their vehicles were neither designed nor certified, all without any meaningful alternative or informed consent,” he said. He noted that the Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari admitted in Parliament that E20 petrol results in a 2-6% reduction in fuel efficiency (mileage), depending on the vehicle type and age. “This admission is significant as it establishes that consumers are forced to purchase more fuel to cover the same …

Dropped after three failures, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi answers back with an 18-ball fifty

Dropped after three failures, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi answers back with an 18-ball fifty

Published by Webster

4 min readJul 23, 2026 08:00 PM IST When India dropped Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after just three innings in England, it raised a few uncomfortable questions. Had they rushed his inclusion, only to be even quicker to drop him before the 15-year-old could find his feet in international cricket? The decision to leave out the left-hander looked like more than a tactical call for another right-hander in the batting order. Still, this was the first time Sooryavanshi had faced the cruel side of cricket at the top level: that he can be benched. So when Sooryavanshi took guard at Harare Sports Club on Thursday, all eyes were on how the teenager would respond to the first setback he has faced at this level. Since walking into the India U-19 side in 2024, he has been a mainstay of every side he has been part of. Perhaps returning to the venue where he scored 175 in the Under-19 World Cup final gave him some familiarity with the conditions. Still, there was plenty to watch for in how …

What was concerning about Rohit’s innings in 2nd ODI? Abhishek Nayar answers

Published by Webster

3 min readJul 18, 2026 08:17 PM IST Rohit Sharma scored 26 off 47 balls in the 2nd ODI against England on Thursday. He looked scratchy throughout that innings, and England missed a few half-chances. Former Indian coach Abhishek Nayar acknowledged that the concern is not the rustiness in his innings, but Rohit’s inability to convert a score into a half-century. “Conditions are important. You have to respect the conditions. In this game, the ball was seaming, doing a bit, so you expect Rohit Sharma to take time as he is not playing all formats. He also understands and will reflect. After a point, after Sam Curran’s over, it looked like he was under pressure. Other than that, I felt the tempo was fine. I am not so worried about the strike rate. But normally, when he gets to 26, he does make a 50 from there. So that is something he would be concerned about,” he said on Star Sports’ segment ‘Game Plan’. Will Jacks picked up Rohit’s wicket. “Rohit does not get out …

WTC in women’s cricket? Amol Muzumdar answers after India’s Lord’s win

Published by Webster

India’s women’s team head coach Amol Muzumdar has said that he would be happy to see a World Test Championship (WTC) in the women’s game after his side beat England by 270 runs at Lord’s on Monday. The former right-hander felt that looking at India play Tests in Australia, England and South Africa later in the year did raise those prospects, which could add more context to the matches. “Obviously, we would be pleased if that happens. I have always maintained that Test cricket is the ultimate format of the game. Our group knows it. Not just the leadership group, but also the players coming through. They also know that Test cricket is something that we really pride ourselves in,” Muzumdar said in the post-match press conference. “We will be playing three Test matches this year. We played one in Australia, we played now here at Lord’s, and then we’ve got one in South Africa in December. So I think there are three Test matches in a year. Why not? But I’m not the one …
