‘His skill development at 21 is astonishing’

Published by Parlour News

3 min readMay 13, 2026 03:16 PM IST Over the years, Shane Watson has watched enough IPL careers begin to recognise when a young player possesses something out of the ordinary. The former Australia all-rounder has shared dressing rooms with some of the game’s biggest stars and also seen raw teenage talent develop into established international cricketers. And in Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Watson believes Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have a player with that kind of rare potential. The KKR assistant coach said Raghuvanshi reminded him of a young Sanju Samson, whom he first saw as a teenager during their Rajasthan Royals days. “I’ve been fortunate over the years to see some unbelievably talented young cricketers in the IPL,” Watson told reporters before KKR’s match against RCB on Wednesday. “I remember seeing Sanju Samson as a 17-year-old and being blown away by his skill level. Angkrish is another one of those players.” Raghuvanshi first caught attention during KKR’s title-winning IPL 2024 season before becoming one of their more dependable batsman in 2025. He also began IPL 2026 …

Venkatesh Iyer’s Salary & IPL Earnings ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) The mega auction of IPL 2025 was the talk of the town for several reasons. We saw some players grabbing a jaw-dropping amount, and one such player was Venkatesh Iyer. The management of Kolkata Knight Riders paid a massive amount for him, which stunned everyone because they let go of Shreyas Iyer, the one who led KKR to win a trophy in 2024, over monetary reasons, but didn’t hesitate to pay a bomb amount for Venkatesh. So today, we’ll look at his salary growth over the years and total earnings from the league! Venkatesh is a left-handed batsman well known for his power-hitting. He is also a handy bowler, which makes him a perfect all-rounder. He grabbed the attention during the 2021-22 domestic season while playing for Madhya Pradesh.

Steve Smith is not the fastest to 10,000 Test runs yet his record is astonishing | Cricket News

Steve Smith is not the fastest to 10,000 Test runs yet his record is astonishing | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Of the 13 other batsmen he is set to join in Test cricket’s coveted 10,000-run club, Steve Smith holds the unlikeliest story of having made it as far as he has. The list shrinks to two if the discussion were to veer towards the most unconventional bats in the pantheon, with Guyanese bulwark Shivnarine Chanderpaul joining the New South Wales superstar. None of the other Test run-machines have transitioned like Smith — or even had to bat at No.8 or 9 in their Test careers. Kumar Sangakkara (once at 8), Chanderpaul (once each at 9 and 11) and Sunil Gavaskar (once at No. 9) —  the first to Mt. 10,000 — are few exceptions. Smith, the outlier, has transcended from being the potential successor to Australia’s greatest spin bowler to arguably its most prolific batter in the modern era within the last 12 summers. Assuming a temporary role of opening the batting in 2024 may have even deprived him of becoming the quickest to 10,000. 195 innings remains the magic figure, nudged by Sachin Tendulkar, …

Virat Kohli’s Bat Sold for Astonishing Price in Australia

Virat Kohli’s Bat Sold for Astonishing Price in Australia

Published by Webster

The veteran Indian batter Virat Kohli has become a global icon over the years and has proved himself as one of the biggest brands of the game around the world. Being a successful player on Australian soil, he has been the promotional banner for the high-profile Border Gavaskar Trophy. Recently, an incident has been an example which could be seen in a recent video on social media in which the MRF Genius Grand King bat, which Kohli uses has been sold for over INR 1.65 lakhs. Just to compare, a expensive ticket of the British rock band Coldplay’s planned concert in Ahmedadbad costs INR 35,000. Australian podcaster and YouTuber Norman Kochanek said in his video that bat is available for sale at Greg Chappell Cricket Centre outlet and costs 2985 AUD. The bat also has Kohli’s signature on its sticker. Australia has been happy for Kohli but the star batter has been woefully out of touch in Test Cricket. Virat Kohli has been consistently averaged above 55 in tests during the years 2016 and 2019. …

Rishabh Pant’s Mom Was “Concerned He’d Ever Be Able To Walk Again”: Doctor Reveals Astonishing recovery

Published by Webster

The medical staff that nursed Rishabh Pant back to full fitness after the horrifying car crash in 2022 has raved about the resilience and mental strength shown by the cricketer, saying he persevered through a “frustrating” recovery process. Pant is set for his cricketing return in the IPL on March 23 when he will captain Delhi Capitals against Punjab Kings in Mohali. “I feel very close to normal,” Pant told ‘bcci.tv’ with a radiant smile. It seemed far fetched 15 months ago when he suffered multiple injuries in the crash. However, it has come true thanks to the expert care he got from the likes of Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, Director, Centre for Sports Medicine, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai, and some dedicated staff at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. Pardiwala remembered how arduous Pant’s recovery journey was. “As surgeons and as doctors, it’s very important for us to inform our patients, their family and all the stakeholders of the actual status of the injury. Rishabh’s mother was with him. She was very …

England fast bowler James Anderson© AFP England’s experienced right-arm seamer James Anderson is just five more scalps away from 700 Test wickets as he prepares himself for the third Test of the ongoing five-match Test series against India at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot. Anderson has snapped a total of 695 wickets so far in the 184 matches he has played for his national side at an average of 26.34 where he has conceded runs at an economy of 2.78 with 32 four-wicket hauls and 32 five-wicket hauls.

Anderson has taken five wickets in one Test match he played at Visakhapatnam, with the best figures of 3/47.
