  • 6,6,6,6,6,6,6…Nicholas Pooran created a great record in T20 cricket, the first batsman in the world to do such a feat

    CPL 2024: The process of making and breaking records in cricket, the game of statistics, is going on continuously, but sometimes some such great records are also made, which are very difficult to break. In the Caribbean Premier League 2024, West Indies star batsman Nicholas Pooran has made such a great record in T20 cricket, which no batsman could do before in T20 cricket. Let us know about it in detail.

    Let us tell you that Nicholas Pooran’s bat is running very well in the Caribbean Premier League at this time. A match-winning innings was also seen from his bat in the match played against St. Kitts and Nevis Patriot. During this innings, Nicholas Pooran played a brilliant innings of 93 runs in 43 balls. During this innings, he hit 6 fours and 7 sixes. It is because of him that the Trinbago Knight Riders team was successful in winning the match. The special thing was that he did not get out till the end.

    Puran made this great record

    It is worth noting that before the year 2024, the world record for most T20 sixes in a calendar year was registered in the name of Caribbean batsman and Universe Boss, Chris Gayle. Gayle hit 135 sixes in 2015. Nicholas Pooran has broken this record of Gayle after nine years. In the match against St. Kitts and Nevis, he hit seven sixes and touched the magical figure of 150 sixes in a year in T20 cricket, which no one has ever been able to do before him. In such a situation, there is no doubt in saying that Pooran has become the new sixer king of the present time.

    Top 4 batsmen who hit the most sixes are from the Caribbean

    Talking about the batsmen who have hit the most sixes in the history of T20 cricket, Chris Gayle is at the top of this list. Chris Gayle has hit a total of 1056 sixes between 2005 and 2022. Kieron Pollard is at number two in this list, who has hit a total of 892 sixes so far. Andre Russell is at number three in this list, who has hit a total of 709 sixes. After this comes the name of Puran, who now has a total of 563 sixes in his account. The top-4 batsmen who have hit the most sixes in T20 cricket are Caribbean, and the biggest reason for this is that Caribbean players take the most part in different T20 leagues around the world.

  • Rishabh Pant Vs MS Dhoni: Diving Deep Into Test Career Stats Of India’s Finest | cricket news

    After a horrific accident on December 31, 2022, Rishabh Pant returned to Test cricket after almost over 600 days. The promising talent showcased his class with a Hundred against Bangladesh and just in his 34th Test game for India, Pant equaled MS Dhoni’s century record in Test cricket for India. Rishabh now has a ton against and in countries like England, Australia, India and South Africa, which is pretty impressive for his age with 2419 runs in the format with an average of 44.80 after 34 games.

    What’s more interesting is that Pant’s average while playing against Australia is 62.4 and 65 when playing games at home. Arguably, Pant is a monster performer for India especially when it comes to Test cricket. (5 Bowlers With Most Five-Wicket Hauls In Test Cricket)

    Many believe Pant is on his way to become the best wicketkeeper-batter in Test cricket for India but for that he needs to outshine the likes of MS Dhoni. Dhoni who left captaincy of Tests earlier than other formats did not have a fabulous record in Test cricket. He finished his Test career as a batsman with an average of 38.09. In the first 34 Test matches of Dhoni’s career, he scored 1,778 runs which is 641 runs less than Pant in the same amount of games.

    Coming to Pant’s road to recovery, he was admitted to a hospital in Dehradun, and as he started his road to recovery, a lot of surgeries were done. Earlier, it looked like Pant would at least take two years to recover as the former India skipper Sourav Ganguly who was working with the Delhi Capitals disclosed in February 2023 that Pant was going through a difficult time and would require a couple of years to make a comeback on the field.

    After all the hardships and struggles, Pant was able to make his comeback within 1.5 years after his accident as he was spotted playing in the Indian Premier League 2024. (R Ashwin Vs Nathon Lyon: Monty Panesar Picks The Better Spinner)

    Pant then made a return to the Indian team in white-ball sides and played a crucial role in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 triumph. Recently, while playing in the Duleep trophy 2024, one of Pant’s cheeky digs went viral on social media. (With Burea Inputs)

  • IND vs BAN: Rohit Sharma’s Superstitious Bail Switching Act Goes Viral- WATCH | cricket news

    IND vs BAN: Indian captain Rohit Sharma, known for his entertaining antics on and off the field, was spotted in a rather superstitious mood during the first Test match against Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The 37-year-old skipper, with a mischievous smile, was seen switching the bails at the striker’s end, seemingly casting a “spell” to influence the game’s outcome. Though it’s unclear whether this occurred during the first or second innings, the moment quickly went viral, drawing attention from fans and pundits alike.

    Rohit’s playful act is reminiscent of a similar moment involving former captain Virat Kohli, who switched bails during a match when India was struggling to take wickets. Such superstitions, though light-hearted, reflect the quirky traditions that cricketers often indulge in to alter the course of a game. The video of Rohit’s antics has spread rapidly on social media, with fans sharing their reactions to his light-hearted approach.

    A Tough Test for Rohit Sharma

    While Rohit’s off-field antics brought some cheer, his on-field performance in the first Test was less than stellar. Coming into the match on the back of a solid ODI series against Sri Lanka, the Indian captain struggled with the bat, scoring just six runs in the first innings and five in the second. Despite his personal struggles, Rohit remained upbeat, rallying his team and making tactical decisions that kept India in control.

    Shubman Gill Shines as India Secures a Dominant Victory

    Despite Rohit and Kohli’s underwhelming performances, India’s younger stars and all-rounders stepped up to the challenge. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja provided crucial runs when India was under pressure in the first innings, with Ashwin scoring a century and Jadeja contributing 86 valuable runs. Their efforts helped India recover from early setbacks and build a commanding position in the match.

    In the second innings, it was the turn of the next generation to shine. Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant showcased their class with sensational centuries that set the tone for India’s mammoth target of 515 runs. Gill, in particular, continued his impressive form, playing with a mix of aggression and composure that bodes well for India’s future in Test cricket. His century was a masterclass in stroke play, underlining his status as one of India’s most promising young talents.

    Looking Ahead: India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test

    With a comprehensive 280-run win in the first Test, India has taken a 1-0 lead in the series. Despite individual batting failures, the collective team effort, bolstered by the all-round performances of Ashwin, Jadeja, Pant, and Gill, ensured India’s dominance. The second Test is set to commence on September 27 at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced that the squad will remain unchanged for the next match.

    India will look to continue their winning momentum, while Rohit Sharma will aim to bounce back and contribute with the bat. Fans will be eager to see if the captain’s superstitious rituals continue to play a role, and if India’s young guns, led by Shubman Gill, can once again rise to the occasion.

Unfortunately the success rate and outcome of such meetings has not been high.
