Cricket can sometimes present bizarre scenarios. While the sport has become much more professional with the advent of technology and video analysis, the margin of error has become quite less. The players too are aware of this. Also, with the emergence of T20 Leagues, even countries like Canada, USA, UAE, are starting to dream big in the sport. Even then, sometimes hilarious situations arise from the spot. In a video that has gone viral on social media, one such instance has come up. In the video, which is from an amateur level cricket match, things took a wrong turn when the batter got run out.  After a rather tame dismissal, the batter can be seen walking off the pitch. But in frustration he swings his bat wildly, but he flies off his grip to hit his teammate at the other end. The rival team is visible stunned at the turn of events.  pic.twitter.com/tK8jtI92D5 — Movie And Cric (@MovieNCricEdits) August 25, 2023 Talking about cricket, the Indian team is preparing for the...

The Indian cricket team is in its final stages of preparation for the Asia Cup. They are currently attending a camp in Alur, Karnataka where they are taking yo-yo tests.

The Asia Cup 2023 is just round the corner and even after the 17-member squad was officially announced, questions remain over who will bat at No. 4 for the Indian cricket team. From Suryakumar Yadav to KL Rahul to Shreyas Iyer , a number of names have been suggested by both fans and experts in the recent past. However, some believe that it can be Virat Kohli who will change his batting position in order to provide solidity to the middle order. Former South Africa star AB De Villiers was in favour of such a move and in a recent interaction, he said that Kohli at No. 4 can be 'perfect' for Team India. "I would be a big supporter of that. I feel Virat is the perfect No. 4, can keep the innings together and play any kind of role in the middle order. I don't know whether he would like to do that role. But at the end of the day, if the team needs you to do something and play a role, you got to put your hand up and go for it," De Villiers said on the '360 Show...

It was a match that was not for the faint-hearted. With only one wicket left, Pakistan made a dash in the last few balls to defeat Afghanistan by the narrowest of margins in the second ODI in Sri Lanka. Number ten batsman Naseem Shah hit a boundary off the penultimate delivery to give Pakistan a dramatic one-wicket win over a luckless Afghanistan in the second ODI at Hambantota on Thursday. The 20-year-old miscued a boundary off fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi and ran jubilantly towards the dressing room as Pakistan scored 11 off the final over to finish with 302-9 in 49.5 overs. The victory gave Pakistan an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series with the last game in Colombo on Saturday. "I would like to say that this year, with the chances I have got at the fag end of the innings, I hope I don't get a heart attack someday. I am very thankful to Allah and his grace as I always try to believe in myself in situations like that," said Shah in a video posted by Pa...

Afghanistan's swashbuckling opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been known to be a power-hitter. He has shown that in quite a few IPL matches for Kolkata Knight Riders. He gave yet another example of his hitting prowess in  the second ODI against Pakistan in Hambantota on Thursday. The 21-year-old Gurbaz hit run-a-ball 151 with the help of 14 fours and three sixes to guide his team to 300. He shared an opening stand of 227 with Ibrahim Zadran , who scored a 101-ball 80, after Afghanistan won the toss and batted. Afghanistan need a win to level the three-match series after losing the first match by 142 runs, and Gurbaz's knock came at the right time. Gurbaz's previous best was 145 against Bangladesh in Chattogram last month. As he went over 150, Gurbaz became the first wicketkeeper-batter to cross the 150-mark against Pakistan.
