Always under-appreciated, never overwhelmed, Bhuvneshwar slays the young & fearless

Published by Webster

While the 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s fearless hitting has made him this season’s highest run-getter, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, at 36, has exploited that same trait in several new-age batsmen to emerge as one of the league’s top wicket-takers. Though he hasn’t yet got Suryavanshi’s wicket, Bhuvneshwar’s 26 scalps include the who’s who of Gen Next daredevils—Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Sahil Parakh, Sameer Rizvi, Ayush Mhatre, and a few more. The sly old fox has reminded the young turks that their stand-and-deliver, relentless attacking approach, though very popular with fans, isn’t bulletproof. He isn’t allowing the relentlessly attacking kids to run away with his sport. Not that he is getting any credit for keeping bowlers relevant in T20 cricket. But then, that has been Bhuvneshwar’s story all along. As a rookie bowler, he notched Sachin Tendulkar’s first duck in domestic cricket. He had a dream ODI debut against Pakistan, running through their top-order. He is on the Lord’s honours board. He has two Purple Caps and two IPL titles. Still, Bhuvi isn’t even the most talked-about cricketer from …

2 min readMay 13, 2026 04:53 PM IST Punjab Kings opener Prabhsimran Singh has posted an impassioned plea for the team’s fans to rally behind them after the team found itself on the verge of falling out of the top 4 playoff spots, thanks to their 82-run defeat against the Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday. It’s been a strange kind of season for the Punjab Kings. After the first seven games of the IPL 2026 season, Punjab were unbeaten, dropping just one point due to a rain-induced no result. They were comfortably positioned at the top of the standings before the slump began. In their last four games of the season, Punjab Kings have suffered four defeats. “Sat Sri Akal, Sher Squad! I’m speaking to you from Dharamsala. We’ve certainly lost four matches, but we’re still fourth on the table, and we’ll make sure to qualify and lift the trophy. I can only say that your support is very important to us. Support us and turn Dharamsala red. The next match …

Auqib Nabi returned to the Delhi Capitals Playing XI against Punjab Kings, and boy was he fantastic. However, the fact that the match was played in Dharamsala helped him a lot. The pitch was doing a lot for fast bowlers, and Auqib made the most of it. It was exactly the kind of wicket that propelled him to national stardom in the Ranji Trophy. All he had to do was bowl a Test-match line, and he did exactly that. Auqib Nabi not only impressed with his bowling, he also took a nice catch. (AP) Also Read: Harbhajan Singh throws his weight behind Jasprit Bumrah, faults ‘other bowlers’ in Mumbai Indians for not doing enough In his previous three matches, he was taken to the cleaners at an economy rate of 13.43. For a bowler who has been tipped to be the next big thing in Indian bowling, that was a big disappointment. But on Monday night, the 29-year-old set several things to rights. It was gladdening to see him go past the bats of Priyansh …

Six IPL batters who swing their bat like a golf club

Six IPL batters who swing their bat like a golf club

Published by Webster

In modern-day T20 cricket and specially a league like IPL, batters are increasingly generating power through bat swing instead of using footwork to clear boundaries.  A stable base and a clean extension of the hands are allowing them to access various scoring zones and score four and sixes at will, without needing to step down the pitch often. Here are six IPL batters who have been successful using more bat swing than footwork: India and SRH opener Abhishek Sharma’s six-hitting has evolved, with help from Yuvraj Singh and Brian Lara, with the left-hander altering his grip and hitting shape. Sharma swings freely across the line, with most of his maximums coming towards long-on and down the ground, while also accessing lofted drives over cover without excessive footwork. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi RR opening batsman Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s power comes more from his bat speed than movement. The left-hander uses a free swing to generate power, while staying balanced at the crease. The 15-year-old has largely hit sixes in the long-on to square leg arc with a clean downswing …
