Samson fails at home

Sanju Samson’s fifth consecutive failure was followed by a spectacular maiden T20I hundred for Ishan Kishan in Thiruvananthapuram. Before the series, there was no battle for the wicketkeeper spot, with Samson expected to partner with Abhishek Sharma. However, it now looks unlikely that Samson will start ahead of Kishan in the T20 World Cup.

PCB makes ‘statement’ mistake

The PCB didn’t unveil Pakistan’s jersey for the T20 World Cup on January 31 in Lahore. The event was slated to take place at the Gaddafi Stadium but didn’t happen. It was speculated that the Pakistani government had not cleared the PCB to travel to Sri Lanka. But then it came to light that PCB had mistakenly released a statement that confirmed their participation in the event, before retracting it.

No IND vs PAK in USA team

With nine wickets down for just 64, Royal Challengers Bengaluru were staring down the barrel of humiliation. In a rain-shortened 14-over clash against Punjab Kings at the Chinnaswamy, the memories of their infamous 49 all-out threatened to resurface. But Tim David had other plans. His unbeaten 50 off 26 balls wasn’t just a rescue act—it was a declaration. Tim David’s best IPL knock On a night when RCB’s other ten batters combined for just 44 runs, David stood tall to hammer 50 runs off 26 alone. Remember he was picked up for just Rs 3 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction! Bargain stuff. The surface wasn’t easy, and Punjab’s bowlers made life tougher. Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal bowled unchanged spells, choking RCB’s top and middle order with smart variations.

RCB were 74/9 when David took strike for the final over. Wha...
