Remarkably, while Jayasuriya needed 85 innings to reach the mark, de Kock has done it in just 23—an extraordinary display of consistency and domination against one of the strongest bowling attacks in world cricket. His tally of 1,191 ODI runs versus India now comes …

The 2023 World Cup, though South Africa lost narrowly to the Australians in semis, had been a dream farewell tournament for Quinton de Kock. He got a bucket full of runs, 4 centuries, including three scores of over 150 in India two Novembers ago, and then was supposed to walk into the sunset. But admiring beautiful sunsets can’t be the only thing in life at age 32. So the itch struck back to return to do what he loves best. After disappearing, de Kock resurfaced. “I missed the camaraderie and the whole thing of representing the Proteas,” QdK had said soon after he re-appeared on the scene earlier, getting into selection contention in the Africa tri-series with Zimbabwe and Namibia. He was struck by the realisation that he loved international cricket, after franchise-cricket just didn’t cut it for him wholly. In his first media interaction post-comeback, QdK had said, “I’d played so much for the Proteas over the years that I kind of forgot about that feeling, as a kid that’s grown up to be …

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)’s dressing room was all smiles after an 80-run win over SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their IPL 2025 match on Thursday. KKR CEO Venky Mysore shared a special message from co-owner Shah Rukh Khan, sparking a party atmosphere inside the dressing room. KKR Skipper Ajinkya Rahane (38) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi (50) laid the foundation of the total in their partnership of 81 after openers fell early. However, vice-captain Venkatesh Iyer stole the show with his 29-ball 60 after KKR were invited to bat. His 91-run stand with fellow left-hander Rinku Singh propelled Kolkata to 200-6 at their home in Eden Gardens after being invited to bat first in a rematch of last year’s final. In reply, KKR bowled SRH out for 120 in 16.4 overs, with impact sub Vaibhav Arora leading the charge. After the match, Mysore dictated Shah Rukh Khan’s message, which further lifted the morals of the players. “No, I am just going to read it. So, he says, ‘Wow! I guess the secret to a game play …

Suryakumar Yadav has not been in the best of nicks heading into the IPL 2025 season. The India T20I captain was silenced for the majority of the five-match series that his side won 4-1 over England in January. Glimpses of SKY specials had, however, touched down in Ahmedabad a couple of days ago but the Mumbai maverick could not prevent a crushing defeat against the Gujarat Titans. Monday brought a pretty casual opportunity in the middle for Suryakumar after the bowlers had nearly killed the game, bundling Kolkata Knight Riders for a paltry 116. With only 26 required from 55 balls, Suryakumar decided to have a waltz and entertain the Wankhede crowd in MI’s first outing at home this edition with a dazzling 27* in only 9 deliveries. Wonder scoop Of only his second delivery, SKY opened his account with trademark daredevilry as he picked on Andre Russell’s wide back-of-a-length delivery outside the off-stump. Gently shuffling across, Suryakumar unfurled a stroke that nearly packed three shots into a fine – a flick, a part-scoop and …
