Drop in a cricket stat that's shocking 👇

Liam Dawson picks Yashasvi Jaiswal. There will be drift for spinners and some help at Old Trafford. Expecting Gill to use the spinners well on this pitch. Important innings for Gill here.

Looks like Dhruv Jurel will keep wickets in Manchester Test. I hope Pant's injury isn't serious

Error of judgement from Shubman Gill. He goes for 12. Ben Stokes - what a cricketer - always makes things happen. Third consecutive low score for Gill. India need to get 350+ here for them to control the game.

Just noticed something interesting - Karun Nair, born on December 6, is out of the squad, while Anshul Kamboj, also born on December 6, has made it in. And guess what? Bumrah and Jadeja, both born on the same date, are already part of the team.

Anshul Kamboj makes his Test debut in Manchester The last Indian to make his Test debut in Manchester - Anil Kumble in 1990 Another player with initials AK - Anshul Kamboj makes his Test debut in Manchester Both Kumble & Kamboj have 10-wickets in an innings in FC cricket -…

By the law of averages, India should win the toss at Manchester. India have lost 13 consecutive tosses in international games since January 2025. I think it'll be win the toss and bowl first in Manchester. India may go in with Shardul Thakur - extra seamer. With lateral movement…

In the Harris Shield SF game of 1988, Shardashram School's Sachin Tendulkar & Vinod Kambli added 664-run partnership v St. Xavier's which was the then a world record. Vinod Kambli, who scored 349*, also took 6 wickets in that game

Kranti Goud first got noticed when she dismissed Richa Ghosh for a golden duck in the final of senior women's One-Day trophy final. Her 4 wickets in the final ensured Madhya Pradesh (who won their maiden title) got the better of formidable Bengal. Her first WPL wicket: Meg…

Kranti Goud becomes only the 2nd Indian pacer to take a 5-wicket haul in Women's ODIs in England Only other instance: Jhulan Goswami 6/31 v New Zealand at Southgate in 2011

Harmanpreet Kaur - what a knock! 7th ODI hundred. All class
