Biju george: Cricket News & Match Updates

T20 World Cup: Sanju Samson began the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup relegated to the bench for all but a single league match against Namibia in New Delhi. Many feared the tournament would see Samson as an unused member again, a fate he faced during the victorious 2024 campaign.

Dubai International Stadium: Seam-bowling all-rounder Arundhati Reddy’s first stint in the Indian team saw her play 26 T20Is from 2018 to 2021, and took 18 wickets, before going down the pecking order. But Arundhati forced a return to the Indian team this year and the comeback hit its crescendo when she took career-best figures of 3-19 and played a major hand in the side’s six-wicket win over Pakistan at Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.

ODI World Cup: Ricky Ponting, Australia’s two-time ODI World Cup-winning captain, has stepped down as the head coach of Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the franchise said in a statement on Saturday. The development brings to an end Ponting’s seven-year association with the franchise ahead of the mega auction in the run-up to the 2025 season of the tournament. Ponting was appointed as DC's head coach in 2018 when the side was called Delhi Daredevils.

The T20 World Cup: Shortly after winning the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 as the Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma retired from T20Is. A few minutes before that, Virat Kohli also called it quits from the format after winning the 'Player-of-the-Match Award' for his 59-ball 76, with Ravindra Jadeja following their direction on Sunday.

When David Miller: When David Miller heaved a Hardik Pandya full toss through the line off the toe-end on the first ball of the final over, many felt it would clear long-off for six and get the equation marginally in South Africa’s favour in their quest to win 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup. But Suryakumar Yadav had other ideas -- racing like a sprinter to long-off, lobbed the ball over the rope as he went in and came back to regain his balance in a split second to complete an astonishing catch, which left many around the world having their jaws down on the floor.

Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: During India’s optional nets session at Cantiague Park, Long Island on Friday, Rishabh Pant enthusiastically practiced his reverse-sweeps, while being closely observed by batting coach Vikram Rathour and head coach Rahul Dravid, who were assessing his aggressive stroke-play abilities.
