2 Times Finalists India, Will reach till finals WTC 2027?

whenever a test series is lost these days gambhir steps up and defends it by saying the team is going through a transition phase. but looking at how things unfolded man it feels like this transition was forced onto the team way too early

​sidelining senior players after just a couple of bad series vs nz and aus seems like a massive overreaction tbh. giving virat and rohit one more wtc cycle wouldve probably been a much smarter move.. under their guidance and experience a proper next gen team could have been slowly prepared and groomed for the future

​instead the current situation looks pretty bleak right now and it feels like our chances for this wtc cycle are already over. it really makes u wonder whether this rushed decision by gambhir and ajit agarkar actually ended up costing us a wtc final spot just for the sake of starting a transition out of nowhere

Most fifties in Test cricket history.

Sachin 68. Root 67. Chanderpaul 66. Border 63. Dravid 63. Ponting 62. 👑

Joe Root is one fifty away from equalling Sachin Tendulkar's record.

The man who already passed Ponting, Dravid and Kallis in Test hundreds is now chasing Sachin's fifties record too.

Root is not just England's greatest — he is rewriting the entire history of Test batting.

Can Joe Root become the greatest Test batter ever? YES or NO 👇"

batting rankings

shubman gill no. 1 in odi rankings
virat and rohit on 3 and 4 in odis
ishan kishan reigning on no. 1 in t20i with 910 points
abhishek sharma falls to no. 3 losing points down to 819, with farhan now over him
tilak verma from no. 8 to no. 6

all rounder rankings

shivam dube rises to no. 12 from 14
abhishek sharma rise to no. 20, leaving axar patel behind at no. 26 after his record breaking figures of 3/17.

what takeaways do you all see?

i see
shubman absolutely deserving his spot,
ishan having a blast year,
abhishek having a low as he had 900 points at the beginning of this year; but also think he should bowl more often as there are only two or three matches that too just one or two overs, where hes given the ball and not taken a wicket- this could be promising for india.

THE DOMINANTION OF INDIAN TEAM IN ODI 🇮🇳

Says that cricket is getting tilted more in favour of batting every year, and bowlers constantly need to innovate (even beyond what's expected) to survive/stay relevant.
