Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi had plenty to celebrate after scoring his first ODI century against India in Chennai . The knock came in his typical anchor style, under pressure, and gave Afghanistan a fighting chance in the final ODI of the series. But despite the milestone performance, it was an on-field mistake later in the match that ended up landing him in trouble with the ICC. The ICC has officially reprimanded Shahidi and handed him one demerit point for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the third ODI against India at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The Afghanistan skipper was found guilty of repeatedly running on the protected area of the pitch while batting, an offence that resulted in a five-run penalty for his team as well. What exactly did Hashmatullah Shahidi do? Shahidi was charged under Article 2.10.10 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which deals with a batter causing deliberate or avoidable damage to the pitch. The left-hander was initially warn...

It has been a hectic few days in world cricket, and several important stories have slipped under the radar. While India announced their ODI squad for the England series with Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah returning but Ravindra Jadeja missing out once again. Elsewhere, Varun Chakaravarthy has been ruled out of the Ireland T20Is as he continues his recovery from injuries sustained during IPL 2026. In England, Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson have been cleared after the nightclub controversy and are back in the squad for the final Test against New Zealand. Meanwhile, teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi grabbed headlines by smashing the fastest fifty in List A history. Here are six cricket stories you may have missed. Sooryavanshi’s world record Vaibhav Sooryavanshi took revenge on Sri Lanka A after his ugly altercation against them by smashing 94 off just 29 balls in the tri-series final against Sri Lanka A. The 15-year-old rewrote the record books by racing to a half-...

Cricket never lets you breathe for long. Joe Root just cruised past 14,000 Test runs, faster than Sachin Tendulkar. In India’s camp, Yashasvi Jaiswal is grabbing every chance, scoring a century in the 3rd ODI against Afghanistan. Rohit Sharma was also great but fell before a century. Over in Dambulla, Tilak Varma and 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi felt the umpire’s wrath, both fined and the India A captain gave some words of confidence. Chennai saw Prasidh Krishna come alive, tearing through Afghanistan’s top order when India needed him most. And off the field, it’s relief and worry: Kohli’s hamstring recovery looks on track for England, but Hardik Pandya’s niggle has stalled his comeback again. Cricket 59 mins ...

The Texas Super Kings (TSK) are off to a rollicking start in the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2026 season. The Faf du Plessis-led side gunned down 221 with ease in the tournament opener and are atop the points table. Now, they face the 2024 finalists, the San Francisco Unicorns (SFU), who didn’t fare well in their opening match and lost to the Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) in a rain-curtailed game.

The ODI series may already be decided, but India still have plenty to gain from the third and final match against Afghanistan at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. The focus could once again be on players such as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Harsh Dubey. While Ishan Kishan has strengthened his case with a superb hundred in Lucknow, Jaiswal will be desperate for runs after a disappointing outing in the second ODI. Harshit Rana has also linked up with the squad and could make his first appearance since recovering from injury. India’s assistant coach has already revealed that Arshdeep Singh could be rested , while Reddy is likely to come back in after an injury in 2nd ODI. Cricket 13 mins ...
