New records continue to be made in cricket. Sometimes a batsman creates history with stormy batting, sometimes a bowler makes a record by putting a wicket. However, now two bowlers have done wonders in batting, which has never happened before. These two bowlers made a new record by historic partnership for the 10th wicket.

The South African team is standing on the threshold of winning the ICC trophy after 27 years with an unbeaten century of Aiden Markram and an unbeaten half -century of Temba Bavuma. On the fourth day, South Africa needs only 69 runs to win. Marakram is unbeaten by scoring 102 runs, while Bavuma is playing for 65 runs while playing well.

Marakala-Bawuma buried the pegs

He has become the first batsman of his country to score a century in the ICC final. He has hit 11 fours in his innings of 102 runs so far. Bavuma is unbeaten after scoring 65 runs. He has hit 5 fours so far. On the basis of these two, the South African team is close to winning the ICC Trophy after 27 years. On the fourth day, South Africa needs only 69 runs to win. It is difficult for Australia to return to the match from here.

Australia gives a target of 282 runs

WTC defending champions Australia scored 207 runs in the second innings from the struggling half -century of Mitchell Starc (58) in the first day of South Africa’s batting and set a target of 282 runs for the victory of South Africa.

Aidan Marakram broke the partnership by dismissing Hazlewood. Hazlewood hit two fours in 17 runs off 53 balls. Stark remained unbeaten with 58 runs in 136 balls with the help of five fours. But he brought the team to a strong position. Australia had a 74 -run lead in the first innings. For South Africa, Rabada took four wickets for 59 runs and Lungi Engidi took three wickets for 38 runs. Marco Janson, Vian Mulder and Markram got one wicket each.

Former Australia captain and great batsman Ricky Ponting has described South Africa’s 25 -year -old fast bowling all -rounder Marco Yanseen as the best Test all -rounder of the future. He has praised Yansen’s talent fiercely. Ponting made this comment during the World Test Championship (WTC) finals being played at Lord’s, where Marco Yansen impressed everyone with his performance. He played an important role in bringing his team into a strong position by taking 3 important wickets in the first innings against Australia. Yansen took a total of 4 wickets in this match, which included the wickets of prominent batsmen like Marnas Labushen and Travis Head.

Ponting praised fiercely

Ponting praised both Yansen’s bowling and batting. He believes that Jansen has the full ability to become one of the best players in the world in Test cricket as an all -rounder. Ponting also appreciated Yansen’s ‘quiet and spontaneous’ nature. It also said that he is a highly competitive player on the field. Ponting spoke of becoming the world’s best all -rounder in Test cricket in the coming years.

Talent to become the best Test all -rounder

Ponting said at the ICC Digital Show during the WTC 2025 final, ‘I think he will become one of the best all -rounders of Test match cricket in the world in the next few years. I liked working with him and I think he is a very talented player who is still quite young in his international career. Let us know that Yansen, who broke Australia’s back with three wickets in the first innings, got a success in the second innings.

Yansen played under Ponting

Ponting worked with Marco Yanseen in IPL 2025 as the head coach of Punjab Kings. During this, he got a chance to close Yansen’s talent closely. Ponting said, “I liked working with him very much and I think he is an extraordinary talent, who is very young in his international career.” Marco Yansen is currently 25 years old. He has become an important player in all three formats for South Africa. He has taken 73 wickets in 17 Tests so far and has also scored 506 runs.

Virat Kohli: The stage has been decorated for the Test series between India and England. From June 20, the Indian team will go on to compete with England without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The discussions of Virat’s retirement have become even faster when former coach Ravi Shastri made a big statement on his retirement. Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri together achieved great achievements in Indian Test cricket. Kohli’s sudden Test retirement was under question and Ravi Shastri spoke openly on it.

Two retirement in a week

The competition for retirement of veterans in Team India was held since the tour of Australia. In the midst of the tour of Australia, Rohit Sharma dropped himself as a captain in the middle, after which his retirement discussions were intensified. At the same time, Ashwin bid farewell to Test cricket in the beach series and surprised everyone. After this, before the tour of England, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma said goodbye to Test cricket from just an Instagram post within a week. After which the noise of foot in Team India became even faster.

What did Shastri say on retirement

Former coach Ravi Shastri said a big thing about Kohli. He said during an event on Sony Sports, ‘Virat has announced his retirement from Test matches, which is sad, you know because he is a great player. When you bid farewell, people truly realize how big players you were. Statistics do not do justice, it is about their way of presenting themselves.

If Virat was the captain…

Shastri appreciated Virat’s talent on foreign pitches and said, ‘Especially as the ambassador of Test match cricket, especially in the manner in which he was introduced himself abroad. The way he played in Lord’s and how his team changed things was unrealistic. I am happy that I was part of it. I am sad that the way he went away suddenly. I think it could be better handed over, perhaps with more communication. If I had anything to do with this, I would have made him the captain directly after Australia.

IND vs ENG Probable Playing-11: The high-profile Test series between India and England is going to start from June 20. The first match of this 5 -match series will be played in the headingley, for which Team India is sweating heavily. The Indian Test team led by the new captain Shubman Gill has reached England and started preparing. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer and Gautam Gambhir’s opening partner in IPL, Robin Uthappa has described his Indian playing-11 for the first Test of the series.

Choose these names in Top-6

Uthappa chose KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal as openers among the top four players, followed by Sai Sudarshan and Shubman Gill on number 3 and number 4 respectively. At number 5, this former cricketer chose Karun Nair, who returned to the Test team after 8 years, who recently introduced his tremendous form by scoring a double century in the match against England Lions. Utkalkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant was placed by Uthappa at number 6 in his playing-11.

‘Opening of KL is beneficial for India’

Uthappa said, ‘For me, I want to make a strong start at the top, and I would like KL Rahul to open there. Given the kind of success he has achieved there, the way he has batted in Australia and the way he has batted in England, it would be good for India to bring him for opening.

This star will be debut in the first match!

According to his elected team, 23-year-old Sai Sudarshan is ready to make a Test debut in the first match of this series, which he put on number-3 in his chosen playing-11. Regarding this young batsman, Uthappa said, ‘At number 3 I would like to see a player like Sai Sudarshan, because he is technically right, and the ability he has, we feel and believe that he can achieve something in Test cricket. Number 4, certainly Shubman Gill. My number 5 will be Karun Nair, because you need a little experience there. Number 6 – Rishabh Pant, I like him at number 6. I think this is his favorite place.

These two all-rounders in playing-11

Robin Uthappa further said that I would choose Nitish Kumar Reddy as fast bowling all -rounder in place of Shardul Thakur and Ravindra Jadeja as the only spinner in place of Kuldeep Yadav. He said, ‘At number 7, I will keep Nitish Kumar Reddy, because he is a proper fast bowling all -rounder. Your fourth fast bowling option. Then I will keep Jadeja. He has scored runs and has also scored runs in Test cricket in England. So I will put them at number 8.

Kuldeep Yadav did not give place

Robin Uthappa’s playing-11 stars three main fast bowlers Jaspreet Bumrah, famous Krishna and Mohammad Siraj. However, he surprised everyone by excluding Kuldeep Yadav, because many veterans have considered him the ex-factor of India in the Test series against England. Looking at his Test career, Kuldeep Yadav has played only 13 Test matches for India and has taken 56 wickets.

Robin Uthappa’s selected Indian playing XI for the first Test

Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Shubman Gill, Karun Nair, Rishabh Pant, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, famous Krishna.

Australia’s explosive batsman Travis Head, who gave many wounds to Team India and Indian fans, returned to the pavilion cheaply on the first day of the World Test Championship Final, there was a wave of happiness in Indian fans. To dismiss him, South African wicketkeeper caught the best catch behind one hand wicket on the historic ground of Lord’s, whose video is also going viral on social media. Seeing this magnificent catch, the head of the head flew away and he took out the tongue and gave a strange reaction.

This is not a catch charisma!

The incident occurred on the first day of the match, when Australia was innings. Marco Yansen threw a ball from the angle towards the leg side, which the Travis Head tried to flick. However, the ball took a fine edge of his bat and went to the wicketkeeper fast. Verene put a magnificent dive on her right on the right side without any delay and caught a surprise catch with one hand, this catch was so agile and caught that the Travis Head himself was surprised. His innings of 11 runs ended with his 13 balls. This ‘cheetah -like agility’ of Verene gave South Africa an important wicket.

The batsman who harasses India flew the senses

Let us know that Travis Head has proved to be a villain for Team India on many occasions. This batsman has taken away many ICC titles from Team India. In the 2023 World Test Championship final, he was the only batsman who played India on the backfoot by playing an innings of 163 runs and played a big role in making his team champion. Not only this, in the ODI World Cup final held in 2023, Head hit another ICC title from Rohit Sharma & Co. by hitting a tremendous century. However, now when he dealt cheaply in the current WTC final, it was celebrated by Indian fans on social media. Many types of memes are going viral.

This was the first day’s game

Fast bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Marco Janson bowled deadly and bowled Australia for 212 runs in the first innings in the third session on the first day. Rabada took 5 wickets for 51 runs and Janson took Australia to knees with 3 wickets for 49 runs. However, Steve Smith (66) and Bu Webster (72) hit Australia from the first bad session and brought Australia to 190/5 in 50 overs. Australia was visible in a pleasant situation at this time, but the defending champion team in front of Rabada and Jansan, put their last 5 wickets within just 20 runs and killed their first innings in 56.4 overs.

In response, South Africa’s first stagger was seen staggering. The team’s score is 43/4 till the end of the day’s play. Temba Bavuma (3*) and David Bedingam (8*) returned unbeaten. On the second day, the eyes of these two batsmen will be on bringing the team to better position.

England’s great fast bowler James Anderson has made many such records in his brilliant and incredible career, which will be a big challenge for future bowlers. He stopped his career 21 years long in 2024, when played a farewell Test against the West Indies. Anderson’s international career ended as the third highest wicket -taker in the world. Let us know 6 such records, whose breakdown is the same as impossible …

The highest wicket -taking fast bowlers in Test cricket

Anderson ended his Test career with 704 wickets in 188 matches. He is the highest wicket -taking fast bowler in the history of Test cricket. In 2020, he became the first fast bowler to reach 600 Test wickets and in March 2024 he further strengthened this record by becoming the first fast bowler to reach 700 wickets.

The highest wicket by the fast bowler on the same ground

‘Home of Cricket’ Lord’s ground was actually Anderson’s playground for many years. Anderson has taken incredible 123 wickets on this prestigious venue. This is the highest number of wickets of any fast bowler on the same venue. Some bowlers do not have so many wickets in the entire Test career, as Anderson has achieved on this ground.

Notout the most in Tests

James Anderson’s record of being notout the most times in Test cricket is truly notable. Anderson surpassed Kurtney Walsh’s previous record of 61 with a knot out 114 times. As a lower -order batsman, Anderson spent most of his career batting at number 11.

Paper, who takes the most wickets in international cricket

Anderson is the highest wicket -taking fast bowle in International cricket. He took a total of 991 wickets in all formats (Tests, ODIs and T20Is) for England, which is the highest international wickets taken by any bowler in the world. Most of his wickets came in Test cricket, where he took 704 wickets in 188 matches. In ODI, Anderson took 269 wickets in 194 matches. However, he played a low T20 International matches. Anderson added 18 wickets to 19 T20I matches to his account.

Most wickets in ODIs for England

With 269 wickets, Anderson remains the highest wicket -taker for England in ODI cricket. He is followed by Darren Gaff in this list, who has 235 wickets, who retired in 2006. Among the current players, Adil Rashid is the closest with 199 wickets, but he is still 70 wickets behind Anderson’s mark. Anderson’s ODI career ran from 2002 to 2015, during which he played 194 matches.

The highest five wicket hall for England in Test

James Anderson’s 32 wicket hall in Test cricket is a proof of his incredible skills as a fast bowler. He remains the highest 5 wicket hall -taking bowler in the longest format for England. He left behind Ian Botham’s previous record of 27 in 2020.

Many cricketers have retired from international cricket in the past. Recently, West Indies explosive batsman Nicholas Puran said goodbye to international cricket. At the age of just 29, his decision surprised everyone. One such young batsman had surprised by deciding to quit cricket at the age of 27. Earlier this year, this batsman surprised the fans with this decision. However, there was a big reason behind this. Who is the batsman who is considered a future star at one time, who decided to quit cricket at the age of 27? Let’s know …

The age of 27 … retirement taken under compulsion

In fact, Wil Pukovsky, considered one of Australia’s best emerging batsmen, retired in April this year. This 27 -year -old star had to take this decision in compulsion. Pukovski said about this that he will not play any kind of cricket from now on. Will Pukovsky was seen as the next big star of Australia. He had performed brilliantly in his domestic cricket and his batting technology and patience were very much appreciated.

Because of this, the decision was taken

In an emotional interview, Pukovski had told that he had to come on this decision due to repeated heads and conversion. Pukovski had said that post -injury effects had a very bad effect on his daily life. This youth also said that whenever he wanted to focus on things happening in his left part, he felt like vomiting and dizzy.

13 times the ball on the head

Please tell that while batting, he suffered a head injury 13 times. In his last professional match (March 2024) for Victoria, Pukovsky’s head had a ball of Tasmania fast bowler relay Meerdith, due to which he had to retire. After this match, the medical panel of Cricket Australia recommended that he end his youth career to protect his future.

‘I will not play cricket again’

In an interview given to Sen, Pukovsi said, ‘I will not play cricket again. This has been a very difficult year, saying it in as simple as possible. The simple message is that I will no longer play at any level. In a few months after that (last injury), I used to have trouble doing anything, it was difficult for me to walk in the house. He further said, ‘My fiancé was angry that I did not share my hand in household chores. I used to sleep too much. Since then it has been a difficult year, a lot of symptoms have not gone away, due to which I had to take this decision. The first few months were very bad, but the situation did not give up me.

Test debut against India

His career was very impressive before retiring. Since his first class debut in 2017, Pukovski scored 2350 runs in 36 matches, including 7 centuries and 9 half -centuries. Pukovski also performed brilliantly in the Sheffield Shield. He received his brilliant performance in domestic cricket as a Test debut, when he made his Test debut against India in 2021. He scored 62 runs in the first innings of this match. However, who knew that his first match would become the last international match.

Pukovski had also told about his decision to retire that he was advised to retire by the medical panel. He said, ‘When you are struggling, it is difficult to take a big decision. The medical panel advised me to retire and it was really difficult to accept it. Technically, you cannot retire anyone from anything. It was clear for me that it was a strong recommendation, but I had to take the final decision.

’15 years wanted to play’

This young batsman finally said, ‘At the age of 27, I have a lot and I have many things in my life that I want to achieve. I wanted to play the next 15 years and he was taken away from me, which is quite bad. At least I know that my head will not get hurt again, but when symptoms remain, it is scary. He said, “I know how I was before these injuries and I know what I am now. My family and friends have seen a difference in me and it is scary for me and them.”

IND vs ENG Test Series: The beginning of the Test series between India and England is about a week’s time. The first match of the 5 -match series will be played in Headingley from June 20. After retiring from Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s Test, Shubman Gill has been appointed as the new captain of the Indian Test team, while Rishabh Pant was made the vice-captain. Compared to the tour of Australia, there has been a lot of changes in the Indian team for this Test series. Many young players have got a chance, including Sai Sudarshan and Arshdeep Singh. Obviously, the team is going to miss Rohit and Virat on the tour. There are two Indian players, who could have fulfilled the shortage of Rohit-Virat if the selectors included in the team for this tour.

The series will start from June 20

The Indian team will start the tour of England with the first Test match starting on June 20. The match will be played in Handingley, Leeds between 20-24 June. The teams will go to Edgbaston, Birmingham for the second match, where there will be a clash between July 2-6. The third Test will be held in Lord’s, London from 10–14 July. The fourth match is Venue Old Trafford, Manchester. The match will be held between July 23-27. The last and 5th match of the series will be played in The Oval, London till 31 July-4 August.

These two players could complete Rohit-Virat shortage

Since, both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have retired from Test cricket. In such a situation, if Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara were in Team India on the tour of England, then the team would not have missed them in some ways. Both Rahane and Pujara have been playing Test cricket for a long time and have a lot of experience of batting in foreign circumstances on a difficult tour like England. His specialty is to bat patiently and play long innings, which is very important especially in circumstances like England. Not only this, Rahane and Pujara have taken the Indian innings in difficult situations many times and have the ability to withstand pressure. His presence would also support young batsmen.

Both experience playing in England

Both Pujara and Rahane have experience playing 16–16 Test matches in England. Pujara has scored 870 runs in these matches. During this, a century, 5 half -centuries also scored. His best score has been an unbeaten 132 runs. He has scored this run in England at an average of 29 and a strike rate of 38.32. At the same time, talk about Rahane, he has scored 864 runs in 16 Tests. During this, he also scored a century and 6 half -centuries. Rahane batting at an average of 28.80 and a strike rate of 44.74, with his best score to 103 runs.

Karun Nair will have to take responsibility

Talking about the current squad, Karun Nair, who returned to the Test team after 8 years, will expect a good performance from Karun Nair, who will be seen batting in the middle order. They can be sent to number four-5. Nair also fiercely introduced his brilliant form against England Lions. Apart from him, young batsman Sai Sudarshan can be launched at number three. The role of captain Shubman Gill is also going to be important, who will try to strengthen the team in the middle order.

Shubman Gill New MRF Bat: Before the commencement of the Test series against England, there is a photoshoot of the players of Team India. BCCI also shared some photos of the new Test captain Shubman Gill’s photoshoot, in which he appeared with his new MRF bat. In these photos, the fans saw something that he was trolled. Let us know that the first match of the series will be played in Headingley from June 20, for which Indian players are sweating fiercely in the nets. With the commencement of the team series, the initiative will also play an intra-voice match.

There was a ruckus on this matter

This England tour of India is not only the beginning of a new phase for Team India, but also a new chapter in Gill’s cricket career. After Rohit’s retirement from the Test, he has been made the new captain. Hopefully, he will carry out this responsibility well. Actually, before the start of the series, Gill’s MRF bat sticker became a topic of discussion, which caused a ruckus on social media. In the latest photoshoot, it was seen that along with MRF Genius, ‘Prince’ is also written on his bat. Fans trolled them about this.

— BCCI (@BCCI) June 11, 2025

Troll on social media

Just like veteran Indian batsman Virat Kohli was given the tag of ‘King’ by the fans, similarly Gill is called the fans ‘Prince’. However, after seeing ‘Prince’ on Gill’s bat, a section of fans did not like, after which he was trolled on social media. One user wrote, ‘Shubman Gill, who told you Prince? The so -called ‘Prince of the Indian cricket team’ whose Sena record is poor. The Test average is less than 35 and even after 5 years of his international career, there is no foreign century in all formats.

An example of Sachin-Virat

Fans gave the example of Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli and said that Sachin Tendulkar never wrote ‘God’ on his bat sticker. At the same time, Virat Kohli ever wrote ‘King’ on his bat sticker. Please tell that Sachin Tendulkar is called ‘God of Cricket’, while Virat Kohli is called ‘King’. However, Zee News does not confirm whether it was Gill’s decision or MRF should use Prince with genius in bat stickers.

The final match of the World Test Championship 2025 is being played between Australia and South Africa at the historic ground in Lord’s. On the first day of the match, the all -rounder who played a 3 Test match for Australia, caught in the beach Majdar, became a distress, whose great batsman Ricky Ponting has praised him fiercely. Actually, this player is none other than the 31 -year -old beardster. This WTC final match of Webster is the fourth Test match of his career, but the manner in which he batted on the first day is being discussed a lot.

The team saved half -century

Ricky Ponting, former captain of Australia cricket team, has praised the Bu Webster. Webster played a brilliant innings of 72 runs for the team in the first innings of the World Test Championship Final against South Africa at Lord’s. Due to his innings, Australia could reach 212 runs in the first innings in front of South Africa.
Webster made his debut in Sydney in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test match against India earlier this year. In front of South Africa, this player scored 72 runs from 92 balls. This was the highest score of any batsman in the first innings for Australia.

Ponting received praise

This performance of webster has been appreciated by former captain Ponting. Talking to ICC Digital after Australia’s first innings, Ponting said, ‘If you remove those runs, the scorecard looks completely different. I think it tells a lot about how comfortable it is in his game and how comfortable it is even when it is in Australian mid -order.

He further said, ‘What I liked today was that Australia was in some trouble. The wickets were falling, but they were able to maintain their natural sports style by going to the webster field. The way he wanted to play, he played and tried to be aggressive and tried to put some pressure on the South African bowlers.

Smith also played a good innings

Apart from webster, former captain Steve Smith batted well. He stayed at the crease for about three hours and scored 66 runs. Keeper Alex Carrie scored 23 runs. At the same time, Rabada took 5 wickets for 51 runs for South Africa. Ponting said, ‘The second thing is that the bowlers were getting good help from the pitch. We know that in early June, the bowlers get good rhythm from the Dux ball in Britain. But this shows that if you freeze at the crease like Smith and Bu, then you can make a big score. However, Australia’s fast bowlers also gained an edge at the end of the first day. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Cummins bowled brilliantly and South Africa finished the day’s game at 43/4.

The series of 5 Test matches will start from June 20 between India and England. The series will start from the first match in the headingley, while the last match will be played at The Oval, London. In this series, who will get down to bat on number-3 for India, this remains a big question. Regarding this, former Team India batting coach Sanjay Bangar feels that there is a race between the players who have made two possible debuts, not Shubman Gill or Karun Nair for No. 3.

These two beach race!

Sanjay Bangar feels that neither Shubman Gill nor Karun Nair will be at number three, but it can land one of Sai Sudarshan and Abhimanyu Ishwar. On choosing one of Gill or Karun at number 3, he said, ‘I think none of them are in my book. If Karun is playing, he will have to bat a little down. All indications are that Shubman Gill can bat at number 4. Therefore, the toss at number 3 is going to happen between Sai Sudarshan and Abhimanyu Ishwaran. Ishwaran also made a good score in one of the practice matches played by him.

Bangar also said that Pant will bat at number 5 and Karun will come at number six, he said, ‘I don’t think there will be any difference in it. One of these two will play at number three. Shubman Gill at number four and Rishabh Pant at number 5 and Karun Nair at number six. This is what I understand about the situation.

What did you show in the practice session?

India conducted a fierce batting practice on 8 and 9 June, which could give some indications about how the batting order for the England series. On both occasions, India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill landed against Jaspreet Bumrah and the management was focused on Sai Sudarshan. On the fourth day of the practice, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal went to the nets. After that Karun Nair and Gill practiced. On the third net, Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurael appeared.

One is that we are without our 3 most experienced players or we have got this great opportunity to do something special for the country. When I see this group, I think there is hunger, passion and commitment to do something special in it. Gambhir further said, ‘I think if we renounce, if we come out of our comfort zone. If we start struggling every day but every session, every hour and every ball, then I think we can make a memorable tour.

Captain Gill gave this message

Gill, appointed the 37th Test captain of India, said that the team should ensure that every net session is meaningful to know how to play under pressure. Gill said, ‘Let us make each net session meaningful and prepare in the same way. And when we get on the field, keep ourselves under a little pressure. It is not about staying on the ground. Let us try to know our game and how will we play when we are under pressure. Whether it is our bowler or batsman. Let’s play every ball in a purposely manner.
