3 min readKochiFeb 15, 2026 04:59 PM IST Although the India-Pakistan rivalry has been ongoing for decades, it reached a new high following the 2025 Pahalgam attack and the subsequent Operation Sindoor. While real-world conflicts between the two countries have always significantly impacted cricket, the 2025 incidents worsened matters, following which proposed matches between India and Pakistan faced uncertainty until the n-th hour, and Indian players refused to shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts during last year’s Asia Cup. Now, amid strife over Bangladesh being replaced in the tournament by Scotland for refusing to tour India due to safety concerns, India and Pakistan are set to lock horns in a group-stage match at the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. Despite frictions between the two nations, which have been especially intense since the 2008 Mumbai attacks, there have been times when renowned figures from one country heaped praise on those from the other, particularly in the realm of cricket. Among the notable instances is former cricketer and bowling legend Wasim Akram’s commendation of Shah …

Former actor Zaira Wasim recently took to social media to express that she was “infuriated” by the actions of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, where the latter pulled off a woman’s hijab on the stage at a public event in Patna. She demanded an “unconditional apology” from Kumar, and claimed that a woman’s modesty and dignity are not “props to toy with.” “A woman’s dignity and modesty are not props to toy with. Least of all on a public stage. As a Muslim woman, watching another woman’s niqab being pulled at so casually, accompanied by that nonchalant smile, was so infuriating,” Zaira wrote on X on Monday night. “Power does not grant permission to violate boundaries. @NitishKumar owes that woman an unconditional apology,” she added.

Wasim Akram is still the pinnacle, says Mitchell Starc after breaking Pakistan great’s record | Cricket News

Published by Webster

It was another vintage show with the pink ball from Mitchell Starc on Thursday as he took six wickets on a see-saw Day 1 of the 2nd Ashes Test at the Gabba. Starc finished with figures of 6/71 in 19 overs and, in the process, surpassed Pakistan great Wasim Akram to become the most left-arm fast bowler of all time in Test cricket. Starc’s career wicket tally went to 418 in in 102 Tests while Wasim had retired with 414 in 104. The 35-year-old cut a tired figure at the end of the absorbing day in which momentum swung between the two teams before England finished with their noses slightly in front despite Starc’s efforts, and said that he will wrap his head around the record later. However, he also stated that he will always Wasim as the greatest. “Wasim’s still the pinnacle for left-armers, best ever with the ball. I feel he is still better,” Starc had told Michael Vaughan while talking to the broadcasters right after the end of play. Starc later joked …

Wasim Jaffer on watching Dhoni bat for CSK

Published by Webster

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s place in the Chennai Super Kings team has again come under scrutiny after the former India captain could not manage to drag CSK to victory over the Delhi Capitals in a 25-run defeat at home on Saturday. Dhoni scored an unbeaten 30 off 26 balls on Saturday, but Chennai suffered their third defeat in four games in IPL 2025. There was also some speculation whether Dhoni was on the verge of retiring since Dhoni’s parents and extended family were present at the Madras Cricket Club enclosure for the CSK vs DC game. Dhoni had walked out to bat in CSK’s chase of 184 with the score reading 74/5. Chennai needed 110 off 56 deliveries with the asking rate standing a shade under 12. Despite batting with Vijay Shankar, who scored a half century, the veteran finisher could not help his team to victory. Mumbai cricket stalwart Wasim Jaffer, when asked on ESPNCricinfo if Dhoni should relinquish his spot in the playing XI for a younger player, said: “Yes, if he is not …

Pakistan’s woes in the ODI format continued on Tuesday when the Mohammad Rizwan-captained side fell to New Zealand by 84 runs in the second ODI match, leading to the hosts taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series. This was the Men in Green’s 4th straight ODI loss since the Champions Trophy where they were eliminated after losing back to back matches against New Zealand and India. The Kiwis’ Ben Sears took 5 wickets to break the back of Pakistan’s batting lineup with only Faheem Ashraf and Naseem Shah putting up some sort of resistance with 73 runs and 51 runs respectively. The duo, who both scored their maiden ODI half centuries, put on a 60-run partnership for the 9th wicket before Pakistan were bundled out in 41.2 overs. Rizwan and Babar Azam both failed to fire while Pakistan’s top order suffered a familiar collapse with the first 5 batters scoring in single digits. If you look at the whole Pakistan batting lineup, 8 batters scored in single digits which paints a not …

A social media banter between former India batter Wasim Jaffer and ex-England captain Michael Vaughan is nothing new. Both the former internationals often get involved in pulling each others’ leg on X, formerly known as Twitter. This time Vaughan is the one who initiated the banter and Jaffer came out with a funny reply, giving the reference of famous Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan. While reacting to a list of 100 most powerful Indians listed by a newspaper, Vaughan enquired what is the position of Jaffer. He also tagged the ex-India player in the post. Replying to this, Jaffer wrote, “Like I had said before, extra ungli Hrithik ke paas hai par karta Michael Vaughan hai.” What number is @WasimJaffer14 ? https://t.co/DVd3OrMZAt — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) March 28, 2025 Notably, Hrithik has an extra finger on his right hand.
