Rajat Patidar Primed To Be “Front Runner In Captaincy” In Indian Cricket Team

Published by Webster

IPL 2025: File photo of Rajat Patidar© BCCI/IPL Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar might not be having a good run in the role at home in IPL 2025 but his leadership has impressed former India player Robin Uthappa. Continuing their poor form at home, RCB lost to Punjab Kings by 5 wickets in a rain-curtailed game. It was a poor batting effort from the side as it posted only 95 for 9 in 14 overs after getting an invitation to bat first. PBKS reached home with 11 balls to spare in the game. After the defeat, RCB captain Patidar acknowledged that their batting performance was not up to par, with wickets falling quickly and a lack of partnerships. He attributed the decision to leave Devdutt Paddikal to the conditions favouring the bowlers. Despite the pitch, Patidar emphasised the need for the team to bat better and achieve a winning total. He commended the bowling unit for their strong performance and the batters’ intent, and recognised the need to address batting errors. “Initially, …

Cricket Scotland, ECB in Talks Over Forming Combined Britain Team at LA28

Published by Webster

England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket Scotland have begun their discussions over forming a combined Britain team ahead of the LA 2028 Olympics. Cricket is set to return to the Olympics after 128 years, featuring six teams each in men’s and women’s competitions in the 20-over format. England has secured second and third in the women’s and men’s T20 rankings, respectively. Scotland is not in the top 10 in either category. “We have a really good working relationship with the ECB, so we have been in talks with them, and (we’re) in the process of establishing a Team GB cricket entity,” said the Scottish board’s chief executive Trudy Lindblade. “That’s what’s required by the British Olympic Association (BOA) for a British team to compete at the Olympic Games.

Ashish Nehra names best fielder in cricket | Ipl News

Ashish Nehra names best fielder in cricket | Ipl News

Published by Webster

There have been some great fielders in the game of cricket. However, when Gujarat Titans Head Coach Ashish Nehra was asked who he felt was the best fielder, he would pick India’s Ravindra Jadeja. While Jadeja’s contribution with the bat and ball has been rated highly for fielding on the ground in various high-traffic positions, it is tough that the ball would get past Jadeja. Speaking to Star Sports, when Nehra was asked who is the best fielder in the world, he would respond with Jadeja. “I have seen a lot of big fielders, some are good in the outfield, some inside, like Jonty Rhodes, he is the best inside the circle. If you speak about all-around fielding, AB de Villiers’ name comes in, but even Andrew Symonds and Jadeja. but I would put Jadeja ahead of them. It’s not because of his age. When he came in 2008-09 and now, he is still the same. It is his fitness, I don’t know what he eats. If he is eating something different, he should tell …

“What Did The Bowler Do”: Varun Chakravarthy Points Out Major Flaw In Cricket Rule Book

“What Did The Bowler Do”: Varun Chakravarthy Points Out Major Flaw In Cricket Rule Book

Published by Webster

A rarely known or discussed rule of cricket came to spotlight during the Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL 2025 match at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. It happened in the 7th over of the MI innings when Ryan Rickelton was caught by SRH captain Pat Cummins on the bowling of Zeeshan Ansari. The decision was overturned after the TV umpire found out that SRH wicket-keeper Heinrich Klaasen had crossed the line of the stumps even before the batter had touched the ball. This was not it. To add salt to insult, it was termed a no-ball and MI were given a free-hit, as per the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) — the custodian of the laws of cricket — rules.

Days after LA Olympics authorities finalised the venue for cricket and announced that the sport will have six teams each in men’s and women’s cricket, talks between England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket Scotland have begun to establish Great Britain teams to play in the cricket event in the LA Olympics in 2028.

Days after reports came about Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund showing interest to start a Grand Slam-style tournament in world cricket, Cricket Australia’s Chief Executive Officer Todd Greenberg has shared his view about the cricketing world being open to the idea. Greenberg, who has been the chief of National Rugby League (NRL) in Australia in the past, had attended the ICC meeting in Zimbabwe earlier this month and shared that the Saudi interest was one of the topics in the ICC meet. “You don’t have to be Einstein to work out that there’s an opportunity for Saudi investment for a lot of sports across the world. The principal point is: do you want it to happen to you, or do you want it to happen with you? I’ve taken a view for cricket that if that were to happen, we’d rather be inside the conversation than outside the conversation,” Greenberg told the Sydney Morning Herald. Recent years have seen Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund’s push into sport with investments in LIV Golf, Premier League Club …
