After India’s exit from the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has said that the team lacked intent in their batting. He added that Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma were scoring at virtually a run-a-ball even though a wicket hadn’t fallen in the first nine overs as well. Notably, India were […]

Former India batter Mohammad Kaif slammed the Indian team management for not adding young Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the playing XI during the 0-2 T20I series loss against Ireland in Belfast as well. The 15-year-old, who received his maiden India call-up, waits for a historic debut as Team India went with the opening combination of Sanju […]

Former India player Dinesh Karthik criticised the Indian team for their game awareness after the loss to Ireland in the second and final T20I of the series on Sunday, June 28, in Belfast. Chasing 155, India needed 21 runs off the last seven balls, with Arshdeep Singh on strike on one off two and Harshit […]

Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has expressed his concern about Sanju Samson’s place in the Indian team’s playing XI after their 2-0 series loss against Ireland. He added that the Kerala wicketkeeper-batter is generally the first player dropped when someone has to be left out as well. However, India faced a one-run […]

Former England captain Michael Vaughan, funnily enough, said that he felt Team India would appoint Ricky Ponting as their head coach after announcing Shreyas Iyer as the new T20I captain. However, the star batter returned to the short-format side after 2023 and replaced Suryakumar Yadav as the skipper as well. Notably, Australian legend Ricky Ponting […]

Legendary batter Michael Vaughan suggested that England should think of sending Team India out to field first in the upcoming T20I series so that the bowlers get a chance against a relatively tired Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who is still settling in as a fielder as well. However, Vaibhav mostly featured as an impact sub in the […]

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra reacted to India’s shocking 34-run defeat against Ireland in the first T20I of the two-match series. The game took place in Belfast on Friday, June 26. Batting first, Ireland posted 182/9. However, India were eventually bundled out for just 148 in 18.5 overs, failing to even bat for the entire […]

Former India player turned commentator Aakash Chopra has picked his Indian team playing XI for the first T20I against Ireland. Young Vaibhav Suryavanshi couldn’t find a place in his chosen side. India will take on Ireland in two T20Is, with the first game to be played in Belfast on Friday, June 26. Suryavanshi is potentially […]

While the talks around the build-up to Team India’s two-match T20I series against Ireland remain centred around a potential debut for the young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, he may have to wait a little longer to made his debut, with batting coach Sitanshu Kotak saying that it would be unfair to change the combination to fit him […]

The entire focus is on the young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the 15-year-old kid, who could make his debut for India. He made his Ranji Trophy debut at the young age of 12, scored his first IPL ton at 14, and finished as IPL 2026’s highest run-getter after turning 15. He is the youngest to be added […]
