India beat England by 434 runs to win in the third Test match held at Rajkot on Sunday, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. It is their biggest win in terms of runs ever, surpassing their previous record of a 372-run victory over New Zealand in 2021.

On the other hand, England faced their second-largest defeat in test cricket history. Their biggest loss, which was by 563 runs, came against their arch-rivals, Australia, in 1934. However, this defeat in Rajkot broke their previous second-highest defeat record of 425 runs against the West Indies in 1976.

England, having been set an unlikely target of 557 runs, suffered a major batting collapse and were all out for only 122 runs on day four of the test match. Ravindra Jadeja was the standout performer for India, taking five wickets for 41 runs.

This was England’s poorest batting performance in the series, with none of their batsmen able to score more than 20 runs, except for Mark Wood who scored 33 runs. In contrast, India scored 445 and 430/4 declared in their two innings respectively.

The credit for India’s massive victory goes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored an unbeaten 214 runs in the second innings. The other key contributors with the bat were Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja, both of whom scored centuries. On his debut, Sarfaraz Khan scored fifties in both innings of the match.

Jaiswal scored an unbeaten 214 runs, in which he hit 12 sixes, to help India achieve a second innings total of 430/4 declared. This gave them a massive lead of 556 runs. It was a perfect opportunity for Jadeja to showcase his skills which shattered England’s claims of being able to chase down such a target with an aggressive approach.

India’s strategy of attacking the wickets proved successful as England’s top order crumbled without any significant contribution. With ample support from Kuldeep Yadav (2/19), Jasprit Bumrah (1/18) and Ravichandran Ashwin (1/19), who returned to the match after attending a medical emergency at home, England found no way to fight back. The fourth Test will be held in Ranchi starting from February 23.

Board of Control for Cricket in India announced in a statement on Tuesday, April 30, that Rohit Sharma as captain of a 15-man T20 World Cup will lead the squad and Hardik Pandya will serve as vice captain. Sanju Samson and Yuzvendra Chahal were rewarded for their outstanding IPL performances as they are included in the list while Rinku Singh and KL Rahul were two of the greatest misses.

As was to be expected, Virat Kohli and rookie opener Yashasvi Jaiswal were included in the 15-man roster. Batsman and wicketkeeper in the IPL Rishabh Pant, was selected for the T20I team following his valiant comeback to competitive play. Pant was not a consistent member of the T20 Indian Premier League (IPL) before his vehicle accident in December 2022. Nonetheless, he put on an incredible display with the bat and the gloves, scoring 398 runs in 11 games.

Sanju Samson was awarded for his outstanding performance in the IPL 2024, despite missing out on the ODI World Cup squad the last year. Although KL Rahul was also a contender, the skipper of Rajasthan was chosen.

As MI captain, Hardik Pandya has had a difficult time in the 2024 IPL, but he has been backed to be Rohit Sharma’s deputy. When Rohit Sharma was resting from T20Is to concentrate on the lead-up to the ODI World Cup last year, Hardik led India in 16 games. Additionally, seam-bowling all-rounder Shivam Dube, who has been belting sixes for CSK in the IPl 2024, has been selected by India.

The BCCI also announced that skipper Rohit Sharma and top selector Ajit Agarkar will address the media on Thursday, May 2, at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai.

On June 5, India will play their first match of the T20 World Cup 2024 against Ireland. After that, on June 9, they will play their group-stage matches against USA and Canada on June 12 and 15, as well as their bitter rivals, Pakistan.

IPL 2024: MS Dhoni sets new record, becomes first player to be part of 150 victories

MS Dhoni became the first player to be part of 150 victories in the IPL.

MS Dhoni wrote a new chapter in IPL history by becoming the first player to feature in 150 triumphs in the T20 competition’s history, on Sunday, April 28. Dhoni accomplished the feat at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, when the Super Kings crushed the SunRisers by 78 runs, bowling out the batting heavyweights for a meager 134 runs.

Having participated in the T20 league from its inception in 2008, MS Dhoni has participated in 259 IPL games. With five titles, the 42-year-old is tied for the most successful captain in the IPL. Before the current season began, Dhoni gave tha charges of captainship to Ruturaj Gaikwad.

With 133 wins, MS Dhoni now holds the record for being the most successful skipper in IPL history. With 87 victories, Rohit Sharma holds the second position.

After Ruturaj Gaikwad was out for 98 on Sunday, MS Dhoni walked into bat in the last over of the CSK innings, saving another cameo appearance for the Chepauk audience. As CSK amassed a massive 212, Dhoni struck a boundary off the opening delivery he faced and took a single off the next to stay undefeated on 5 off 2.

On a day when the Super Kings dominated Sun Risers in all three areas, Dhoni also grabbed a catch with the gloves. Daryl Mitchell made a swift fifty run comeback and tied an IPL record with five outfield catches.

In his cameo appearances, Dhoni has looked amazing at bat. With a strike rate of 257, the wicketkeeper-batter has amassed 96 runs in just 37 balls. On multiple occasions, Dhoni’s late-overs heroics have turned out to be game-changing blows. At the Wankhede Stadium, he unleashed a devastating attack on Hardik Pandya. The former captain hit three consecutive sixes and finished with four balls and twenty, which proved to be the difference between CSK and MI in the El Clasico.

After defeating SRH by 78 runs, CSK easily returned to the top 4. They are currently in third place with 10 points from 9 games.
