South Africa’s spin renaissance 🇿🇦 🧠 Since 2024, their batting avg vs spin in Asia has doubled - from 17.5 → 34.2. Last 4 Tests: W.L.W.W 11 Tests before: L.L.L.L.L.L.L.L.L.D.L

🚨 ATTENTION For those who like their cricket and data, here's a dive into what South Africa are doing well recently in Tests in the sub-continent. Hint: There's a sweep-revolution going on in their batting ranks. And it will be an interesting challenge against India.

For those who like their cricket and data, here's a dive into what South Africa are doing well recently in Tests in the sub-continent. 

Hint: There's a sweep-revolution going on in their batting ranks. And it will be an interesting challenge against India.

So who makes way for Rishabh Pant in Kolkata? 🔹Direct swap with Jurel at #6? 🔹Jurel at #3, drop Sai Sudharshan? 🔹Drop Nitish, play with only five bowlers? 🔹Drop Kuldeep as usual and extend batting?

Jurel's last 8 FC inns: 140, 1, 56, 125, 44, 6*, 132* & 127* He's truly been in tremendous form 🫡

Australia have a T20I series ahead of the WC next year, in Pakistan close to the tournament. This looks to be their starting XI as of now. Marsh Head Inglis Green David Stoinis Maxwell/Owen Dwarshius Ellis Zampa Hazlewood Strong contenders to challenge India's for the title.

Grateful to be on this list, & to my peers for this gesture🙏🏼 I may have flown under the radar all these yrs but @ganeshcee & @kaushik_cb never stopped believing. Their steady support for women's ckt coverage, despite readership challenges, was so vital. bit.ly/49JgdE6

The last time India lost a T20I with Jasprit Bumrah in the XI was exactly four years to this day - against New Zealand in Dubai in 2021. #AUSvIND

In a record chase vs 🇦🇺, Jemimah Rodrigues lost Harmanpreet after a 167-run stand and said to herself, 'I'll score for her too'. She looked up at the team hotel, from where injured Pratika Rawal followed the match, and Jemimah played for her too. cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/1…


Irks me no end that we won’t get to see Hazlewood bowling to Abhishek again this series. That contest was T20 cricket at its peak. #AUSvIND

T20 cricket has entered the no-anchor era. 🇮🇳 & 🇦🇺 aren’t building innings anymore, they’re detonating them. Strike rates > stability. Powerplays = carnage. How India and Australia are redefining T20 batting. #AUSvIND cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/1…

Till date the only uncapped overseas batter to win the Orange Cap. Most likely will remain the only one.
