England vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test: पहले दिन और पहली पारी में श्रीलंका ने बनाए 236 रन, इंग्लैंड 214 रन से पीछे

इंग्लैंड और श्रीलंका के बीच Manchester (मैंचेस्टर) में खेले दा रहे दूसरे टेस्ट मैंच मे इंग्लैंड की हालत काफी गंभीर दिख रही है। इग्लैंड ने अपनी पहली पारी में मात्र 22 रन बना लिए हैं। श्रीलंका के 236 रन के लक्ष्य के सामने इंग्लैंड अभी भी 214 रन से पीछे चल रही है। Debutant Milan Rathnayake’s half-century helped Sri Lanka to a decent total, but England openers made a solid start before bad light…

Ok I'mma vent this out at once and will try to not utter a word about this cursed night again. India deserved this cup, they really did. Because if there's been a team who performed the best and embodied the spirit and passion of cricket it's been India. They did their best from the very first game against Australia... Jaddu's wickets (especially Smith's), the top order collapse and King and Rahul's partnership winning us the game (also Rahul's 97). Then came Afghanistan and Bangladesh - Rohit's century, Virat in delhi (vs Naveen, their hug), Hardik's injury resulting in our dear Cheeku's bowling, KL refusing runs to complete Virat's century, Ro - Vi - Rah hug 🤌and ofc umpire not giving the wide. The Pakistan rivalry came into the tournament but our streak was saved when we defeated them 8 - 0. Then came the most dreaded match against New Zealand - Vi's missed century was definitely a sore spot but the revenge was completed. Shami being shami showing why you should not bench him with his fifer and Jaddu hitting the final runs to avenge Mahi Bhai. England and Sri Lanka were no match - they were destroyed by our balling - the only good thing was Gill's knock, Shreyas' century and ofc RohiRat hugs ✨. We made a Sri Lanka out of South Africa with the King getting a century on his b'day and destroyed Netherlands but the main part was Virat and Rohit taking wickets. Then came the semis against NZ and honestly the whole desiblr was scared as fuck bcz of our history but Revenge was taken... Kohli shattering all records and hitting his 50th century making us prouder than ever (anushka's kisses and bowing to the God Sachin will forever be remembered) and Shami's 7 wickets, like is there a way to stop Lalaji bcz I can't think of one (amd what's this 7 factor? 397 runs, all out at 327, won by 70 runs, shami taking 7 wickets ? tribute to Thala ig). But it all came down to this, we lost the finals... After all this we lost, 1.5 billion hearts are broken, the 12 year wait continues. But this tournament will never be forgotten, we laughed and we cried with our team and supported them at every step. We saw moments we'll never forget, we made memories seeing records being broken and our boys having the time of their lives, hugging and dancing on the field and being more excited for the mighty fielding medal than the actual match itself. So this tournament will forever be remembered. You'd expect me to say congratulations to Australia but no, they played well ofc but no team played cricket better than India... Just bcz this team didn't performed in one single match didn't mean that they didn't deserve to win this. Kohli gave all of his soul, Rohit made this team what it is and Shami gutted all his haters but sadly luck was not on our side. After winning all 10 matches our unbeaten streak got broken in the finals only. Yes I'm heartbroken to core but at the same time I'm bloody proud of our boys who gave everything they had, your heads should be held high. In my own delusional world India won this cup and not just team India but the whole country. In my mind we are the winners and the team got the prize for their blood, sweat and tears. You'll all be remembered forever as champions.

can we please have a small scene in next chap of omegaverse about the england players and especially stu, reacting to vk's first international century? according to a quick espn reference, the ton came in an odi vs sri lanka on chirstmas eve in 2009. india won the match. also sri lanka were a very strong side in 2009, with bowlers like malinga and jaysuriya still around, so nobody can really use the excuse for vk that the omega only scored a century because he was playing against minnows! thanks! <3

Ooooo - this might actually line up perfectly… 🧐

Thank you for highlighting this for me!

Ind vs Pakistan 2023 Asia Cup Super 4

  Cricket Journals

An account of Virat Kohli’s 77th century :

India vs Pakistan, what is it, it is an emotion attached to all the cricket supporters around the world, be it India, Pakistan, England, or Australia, it is cherished and remembered all over the world. And what does it feel like when your favorite player scores a century in that match, well it feels delighted, a moment to cherish, celebrate and to remember all your lifetime and let me tell you one interesting story of such kind of an event. It was 2023, an amazing year for all cricket fans in the world because we have the ODI World Cup, Asia Cup, WTC Final and many more series such as The Ashes, Ind vs South Africa and many more. But there is one more thing that is wanted by all cricket fans and we have it three times and who knows four times this year. The cherish able, always remembered, India vs Pakistan. Two times in the Asia cup and one time in the ODI World cup, we will witness this amazing rivalry even more this year. September 2023, and the awaited month has arrived. The Asia Cup kicked off with its initial matches. It was happening in Pakistan and Sri Lanka both as India refused to play because of political issues and many more issues which both country’s government crib about. On 2 September, we had the match in Colombo, meaning India vs Pakistan in Colombo. The match started, surprisingly according to the weather forecast, there was no signs of rain in the starting. But that match did not finish because till the finishing of India’s innings which was the first innings, there was rain, drama, and lots of sadness in every spectator’s mind because firstly India had not played well and secondly due to that rain match was abandoned and both teams shared one point each. Well, as I told there were two games so we had the fixture again on 10th September as part of the super four stage. There was rain, drama, and lots of delightfulness in this match because this match was completed and it also witnessed the run machine’s 77th century and he also completed 13,000 runs in ODI cricket. Do you know who I am referring to ?, yes Virat Kohli, my favorite player and the charm of every Indian spectator watching that game. He came in to play and replenishing all his mistakes that led to his dismissal in the last game, he smashed a well driven 122* of 94 deliveries with KL Rahul also scoring a century. They both stitched a 233-run partnership and stretched India’s score to 357 for just the loss of 2 wickets. It was an easy defend for India and dismissed the whole of Pakistan in just 128 runs and in the bowling unit, Kuldeep Yadav also took 5 wickets and bowled an excellent spell dismissing some of their key batters.

We all got the gift from Kohli, we all wanted and deserved. He played as a well accumulator and in the end accelerating to his hundred. It was a classic Kohli innings and a classic Indian win. As expected, Virat received the Man of the Match and that is all we could ask by him in the match of one of the most cherished rivalries of all time.

India’s Top-5 highest total in test cricket

Test cricket, the most difficult and respected format of the game, is where batting is put to the true test. It is a format where patience, technique and mental toughness are of paramount importance. Over the years, the Indian cricket team has produced some legendary batsmen who have etched their names in history with spectacular knocks. These individual performances have often contributed to huge team scores, which have showcased India's batting prowess on the global stage. Here, we take a closer look at India's highest runs in Test cricket, which shows the dominance of the Indian test team in the cricket world. 

1. 759/7d vs England, Chennai, 2016

This mammoth score is India's highest ever in Test cricket. It came against England in Chennai in 2016, a testament to India's batting depth and determination. Karun Nair's unbeaten triple century (303*) was the highlight of the innings, a perfect blend of controlled aggression and patience. He became the second Indian batsman after Virender Sehwag to achieve this feat. Apart from Nair, KL Rahul also scored a brilliant 199 but unfortunately fell short of his double century by just 1 run. Others who scored were wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel (71), Ravichandran Ashwin (67) and Ravindra Jadeja (51). The mammoth score helped India to a sensational win that highlighted their dominance in home conditions. The Indian Current Team is still very strong and they can break this milestone in upcoming matches. This will be very interesting to see how many days the highest total record will be unbroken. 

2. 726/9d vs Sri Lanka, Mumbai, 2009 

Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium witnessed a storm of runs in 2009 when India scored 729 runs against Sri Lanka. Virender Sehwag hit a brilliant double century (293) in this match, but unfortunately fell short of his third triple century by just 7 runs. His innings silenced the Sri Lankan bowlers. Apart from him, former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni also scored a brilliant century (100*) while Rahul Dravid (74), Murali Vijay (76), Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman scored valuable runs. With this impressive batting performance, India defeated Sri Lanka by an innings and 24 runs.

3. 707 vs Sri Lanka, Colombo, 2010

India's batting prowess was once again on full display in Colombo in 2010. They scored a total of 707 runs against Sri Lanka with the help of centuries from Sachin Tendulkar (203) and Suresh Raina (120). Virender Sehwag missed his century by scoring 99 runs while captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni scored 76 runs.

India's huge score dwarfed Sri Lanka's 642 runs in the first innings and showed India's ability to play big innings in challenging conditions. The match eventually ended in a draw, but India's batting performance was a testament to their class and consistency.

4. 705/7d vs Australia, Sydney, 2004

The Sydney Cricket Ground has witnessed many memorable batting performances, and India's performance in 2004 was no exception. They scored a total of 705 runs against Australia, thanks to centuries from Sachin Tendulkar (241*) and VVS Laxman (178).

The innings was a great example of India's resilience and determination. They tackled a strong Australian bowling attack, showcasing their skill and temperament. The match was a draw, but India's batting performance was the highlight of the series. Both batsmen scored a lot of runs and left the bowlers starved for wickets.

5. 687/6d vs Bangladesh, Hyderabad, 2017

India's most recent entry on this list came against Bangladesh in Hyderabad in 2017. They scored 687 runs, with Virat Kohli scoring a magnificent double century (204). Murali Vijay (108) and Wriddhiman Saha (106) scored superb hundreds while Cheteshwar Pujara (83) also scored valuable runs. This innings was a testament to the potential of India's modern-day batting. They dominated the Bangladeshi bowlers, showcasing their aggressive approach and ability to score big. India dominated the match to register a comfortable victory and won the match by 208 runs. On that day, the Indian team had a chance to break the highest total score of 759 runs But Captain Virat Kohli declared the innings after Wriddhiman Saha’s century and Ravindra Jadeja’s fifty.
