Top 10 Records Which Might Never be beaten (whipped)

However, there are a few records that may possibly be tougher to beat than anything else. Here is a list of the 10 records that are nearly impossible to beat-

1. Captaining at the age of 50

The first megastar, the game of cricket saw was Dr. William Gilbert Grace. He was a captained for England team at the age of 50 and became the oldest man to act so. Since 1899, this record has stood strong (firm) and it looks highly doubtful if anybody will beat it.

2. 50+ runs in three WC Finals

Making a World Cup Final is an achievement in itself, however to score three consecutive 50+ scores as a batsman is another record in itself. It goes to Adam Gilchrist as he smashed two fifties and a century in three finals, which is going to be tough to outdo (beat).

3. 199 first-class centuries

While Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for the maximum centuries in international cricket, the most centuries in first-class cricket belongs to Jack Hobbs, who scored an unbelievable 199 in total.

4. 19 wickets in one match

Jim Laker holds the record for taking the most (utmost) wickets in a single match. The Englishman took a total of 19 wickets against Australia which yet hasn’t been broken by anybody.

5. A 30-year career

Sachin Tendulkar did have a long 24-year career however he doesn’t have the record for the longest. That honour falls to English all-rounder Wilfred Rhodes who played for thirty years!

6. Most first-class wickets

Wilfred Rhodes has the record for the maximum number of first-class wickets, scalping an incredible 4204 wickets in his long career, which will be tough to beat.

7. 3-over century

Sir Don Bradman, look upon as the greatest batsman of all-time, in the past, scored a century in just 3 overs. One of the overs was 8 balls long and by 18 minutes, he had passed through the century mark.

8. International wicket without bowling

India’s Virat Kohli holds a unique record of getting his first wicket without bowling a legitimate (genuine) ball. He had taken Kevin Pietersen’s wicket in a T20I by getting him stumped off a wide ball.

9. Consecutive maiden overs

Indian spinner Rameshchandra Gangaram Nadkarni formerly (once) bowled 21 consecutive overs without conceding a single run. That record is even so not to be broken today and in total, he only gave 5 runs away.

10. Three double-centuries in ODIs

India’s Rohit Sharma holds an unbelievable record of scoring three double-centuries in ODIs. This is a feat that hasn’t been repeated or broken and it will take an Extraordinary effort for someone to do it again.

Virat Kohli’s versatility, bound and sealed by Wisden - cricket

Wisden’s in-depth review of teams across formats this decade may trigger a few debates, but there can be none about Virat Kohli being the only cricketer to find place in all three teams. Not only is it a validation of Kohli’s match-winning ability but also the hunger to make his presence felt in any condition and against any opposition. It’s a near foolproof approach that has made Kohli a giant of the game—adept at firefighting, grafting as well as chasing with authority; in short, a run machine.A glance at his numbers proves this decade belonged to Kohli. He has scored 20,960 runs in 386 matches—the most played by a cricketer this decade—across the three formats this decade. The next best is South Africa’s Hashim Amla with 15,185 runs (286 matches), followed by England Test captain Joe Root (14,108 runs, 264 matches), New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson (14,016 runs, 284 matches) and David Warner (13,778 runs, 260 matches). The only player to score more 2,000 boundaries this decade (2,090), Kohli’s batting typically hinges on a proper defence, shots along the ground and tireless running between the wickets—a template he has successfully applied across all formats.ALSO READ: Ricky Ponting names Test team of decade, 4 England players, sole Indian pickedKohli’s risk-taking propensity also depends on the format. When it comes to hitting sixes, he is the most adventurous in the shortest format, where he still averages one per innings, abysmally low compared to other top T20 batsmen. His T20I strike rate (138) may also have taken a slight hit because of this, but Kohli more than makes up by trying to make every innings count. In other formats however Kohli doesn’t take the aerial route much. In ODIs, he averages one six every two innings while in Tests it dips to one six in just over six innings. What seals his spot in the ODI and T20I teams is his average that goes through the roof while batting second—68.66 from 50.25 in ODIs, and 86.76 from 35 in T20Is. That and his persuasive batting in Tests, where he averages 54.97, 74.85, 36.72 and 49.77 in the four innings (depending on whether India have batted first or second). It already makes Kohli one of the all-time great batsmen.The only other specialist batsman (Jos Buttler has been named in two teams, but has been chosen purely as wicketkeeper in T20Is) to feature in more than one team is David Warner, who finds a place in the Test and ODI sides. Interestingly, Warner endured a forgettable Ashes series in England—scoring 95 runs in 10 innings—this summer after returning from a one-year ban for the ball-tampering scandal in Cape Town in March, 2018. That takes nothing away from the Australia opener who has scored 7,088 runs in 83 Tests this decade, just 114 runs fewer and a match less than Kohli. Warner’s record of 23 Test centuries—four less than Kohli—and 30 fifties—eight more than Kohli—may indicate Kohli is better than Warner at converting fifties into hundreds, but overall, he is almost as prolific as the India captain.ALSO READ: ICC Test Rankings: Virat Kohli, Pat Cummins finish 2019 on topDale Steyn and Lasith Malinga are the only specialist bowlers to make it to more than one team. Malinga is a classic case of mind over body, combating fitness issues for the longer part of his career to consistently remain Sri Lanka’s best death-over bowler. Dismissing four of England’s top-six in the World Cup win at Leeds was the latest proof of Malinga’s age-defying match-altering skills. It is something Sri Lanka came to rely on after the retirement of stalwarts like Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene and Muttiah Muralitharan. He was almost always a lone act, unlike the now-retired Steyn, who got strong support from Morne Morkel, Jacques Kallis and Vernon Philander throughout his career. Still, Steyn was a class apart when it came to ripping apart batting line-ups.With 26 fifers, Steyn is fifth on the all-time list of pacers to have taken the most five-wicket hauls, behind Richard Hadlee (36), Glenn McGrath (29), Ian Botham and James Anderson (both 27). There is no disputing the home advantage given 16 of the five-wicket hauls has come in South Africa. But Steyn is most revered for some memorable bowling away from home—like the 10-wicket match haul against India in Nagpur in 2010 that laid the base for a massive innings victory. It was really in 2008 that Steyn had hit his stride, taking 10/154 in the nine-wicket win at the MCG, and 8/114 in the innings and 90-run win on a benign Ahmedabad pitch. Serious pace, armed with the ability to swing the ball both ways, and the discipline to plug away at a spot for lengthy spells make Steyn one-of-a-kind.No Pakistan player figures in the three teams that have six Australians, five Indians, five from England, three South Africans, two Sri Lankans, two New Zealanders, two from Afghanistan and one from Bangladesh. Some of them are automatic choices. Like Sangakkara, who was one of the most graceful left-handed batsmen the game has seen. Or Steve Smith, who now has scored 500-plus runs in three consecutive Ashes, something even Don Bradman couldn’t achieve. MS Dhoni, who led India to the 2011 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy, was credited for redefining the way 50-over matches are finished. Shakib Al Hasan is Bangaldesh’s best player ever while Wisden partly attributed R Ashwin’s inclusion in the Test squad as the sole spinner to his batting ability. Jasprit Bumrah too found a place in the T20I team, though he has been more effective in ODIs and Tests of late.Wisden XIs:Test team of the decade: Alastair Cook, David Warner, Kumar Sangakkara, Steve Smith, Virat Kohli (capt), Ben Stokes, AB de Villiers, R Ashwin, Dale Steyn, Kagiso Rabada, James AndersonODI team of the decade: Rohit Sharma, Warner, Kohli, De Villiers, Jos Buttler, MS Dhoni, Shakib Al Hasan, Lasith Malinga, Mitchell Starc, Trent Boult, SteynT20I team of the decade: Aaron Finch (c), Colin Munro, Kohli, Shane Watson, Glenn Maxwell, Buttler (wk), Mohammad Nabi, David Willey, Rashid Khan, Bumrah, MalingaWATCH | Virat Kohli only Indian in Ricky Ponting’s Test team of the decade  Read the full article

Shreyas Iyer Personal Life

There’s a touch of middle-class realism to Shreyas Iyer’s tale! Shreyas Iyer was born in Mumbai to Santosh Iyer and Rohini Iyer on the 6th of December, 1994. Iyer’s father noticed his cricketing talent and helped him nurture it. Santosh, a businessman who used to work from home at the time, was instrumental in Shreyas choosing cricket over football.

Pravin Amre, a student of the legendary coach Ramakant Achrekar, spotted Iyer at the heart of Mumbai’s local cricket hub- Shivaji Park Gymkhana at the age of 12. Amre noticed a boy hardly even in his teenage years, was timing strokes of the front and back foot twice his height and nailing cover drives and pulls.

Iyer’s teammates at the age-group levels compared him to Virender Sehwag. After early education, Iyer went on to complete his graduation from Podar College in Mumbai. He represented the college team and lifted various trophies.

Shreyas Iyer Career

A 20-year-old Iyer joined Clifton Village Cricket Club of the Clifton University in Nottingham and was the youngest player in the side. Ironically, Iyer had not played a single first-class match. All he had was the 67-ball 109 vs Australia U-19 and three matches in the U-19 Cricket World Cup, in which he had scored 161 runs.

Iyer was Living alone in a foreign country with completely different weather conditions. However, he did not disappoint. Iyer played 3 games scoring 297 runs at an average of 99. Furthermore, he broke the team’s record with the highest score of 171.

Apart from playing for India and Delhi Capitals, Shreyas Iyer has played for India U19, West Zone, Mumbai, India A, Indian Board President’s XI, India B, Mumbai Cricket Association XI, India Blue, India Green, Board President’s XI, Rest of India and NaMo Bandra Blasters.

Domestic Career

Shreyas Iyer returned to India and joined the Mumbai Ranji team in November 2014. He made his List-A debut in the 2014-15 Vijay Hazare Trophy.

In the first season, Iyer scored 273 runs in 6 matches at an average of 54.60 and a strike rate of 92.85. His highest score in the tournament was 105*. Iyer finished as the 14th highest run-scorer in the tournament and 2nd highest run-scorer in the Mumbai team.

Following his good performances in the tournament, Iyer made his debut in Ranji Trophy next month. He continued growing as he scored 809 runs in 10 matches at an average of 50.56 and high score of 153.

He finished as the highest scorer for Mumbai and the 6th highest scorer of the Ranji season. His vital contribution helped Mumbai reach the quarterfinals of Vijay Hazare and the semifinals in the Ranji.

In the following season, Iyer performed even better, He scored 1,321 runs in the 2015-16 Ranji season. Iyer hit 4 centuries and 7 half-centuries with an average of 73,39. He ended the season as the top-scorer and became the second player to score over 1,300 runs in a Ranji season.

In the same season, Iyer played crucial innings of 95 for Mumbai against the Railways. After the match, Rohit Sharma praised him.

“I had heard from people in our (Mumbai) dressing room that he’s been in good nick. I’m glad about the way he is batting. I was enjoying it from the other end. He reminded me of Sehwag a little bit because that’s how he used to bat. He batted pretty well. Whatever he’s been doing of late, it’s pretty good to see that,” the Hitman said.

Iyer continued to perform consistently in domestic cricket. The 2016-17 Ranji season saw him score 725 runs at an average of 42.64 a scored 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries. His highest first-class score came while playing for Mumbai against Australia. Iyer played an unbeaten inning of 202 in the 3-day practice test.

By September 2018, Iyer was named the vice-captain of the Mumbai Vijay Hazare tournament. Leading as an example, Iyer scored 373 runs and finished as the top scorer as Mumbai lifted the title for the third time.

The young batsman continued his good form in the 2018-19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He scored 147 and became the highest total scored by an Indian in a T20 match.

IPL Career

Iyer’s performances in the 2014-15 domestic season caught eyes, including that of Indian Premier League teams. In February 2015, Delhi Daredevils purchased him for a whooping ₹2.6 crores. The young batsman became the highest-earning uncapped player of IPL 8.

Shreyas was a light of hope in a dull season for DD. Iyer finished the tournament with 439 runs in 14 matches at an average of 33.76 and strike rate of 128.36. He was also announced as the emerging player of the year.

However, Iyer was not able to build on his promises in the next IPL.Iyer player only 6 matches, scoring a paltry 30 runs with a disappointing average of 5. Delhi continued disappointing as they failed to qualify for the playoffs.

Shreyas Iyer hit back with strong performances in 2017 leading him to be appointed as the captain in the 2018 IPL season. At 23 years and 142 days, Iyer became the youngest captain in the Delhi Daredevils history.

Debuting as a captain against the Kolkata Knight Riders, Iyer smashed an unbeaten knock of 93 in just 40 balls as DD won their match. Shreyas hit 10 maximums on his way to a third consecutive half-century. The next season, Delhi Daredevils were rebranded to Delhi Capitals with the hope to change fortunes.

The ownership decided to retain Shreyas Iyer and his army of young blood with a mixture of experience. Iyer led the Delhi Capitals to the playoffs after seven years, where their dream run ended when DC lost to eventual runners-up CSK. With the bat at number 3, Iyer had his best IPL season, as he managed to score 463 runs in sixteen matches at an average of 30.86 and strike rate of 119.94.

T20 Career

Shreyas Iyer’s feisty playing style along with his records in both the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as well as the IPL caught selectors eyes. In October 2017, Iyer received his India National Cricket team callup for the T20 series against New Zealand.

On his T20I debut in the 1st of November 2017, Iyer did not get a chance to bat as Indian openers Shikar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma led India to a 53-run victory. In the next match, Iyer scored 23 runs off 21 balls as he steadied the ship with Virat Kohli after Indian openers lost their wickets early.

In the decider of the series, Iyer failed to perform as he scored 6 runs before getting caught and bowled in an 8-over-per-side match.

However, Indian bowlers were able to control the Kiwis as the Men in Blue picked up the trophy. Shreyas Iyer’s most notable T20 international performance for the Men in Blue came more recently. Iyer scored his first and only T20I half-century in the Bangladesh Tour of India in November 2019. India won the match by 30 runs.

ODI Career

The Mumbaikar made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka on 10 November 2017. With not the best performances in the T20 matches, a nervous Iyer came to bat at number 3 with Dhawan gone for a duck.

On a difficult pitch at Dharmashala Iyer scored just 9 runs in 27 balls as both he and the whole Indian batting lineup suffered. Determined to perform better, Iyer put his bad debut behind him in the second ODI as he scored two half-centuries in the next two matches.

He (88 and 65) in the next matches as India came back from 1-0 down to win the series 2-1. After an average performance on the tour South Africa, Iyer was dropped from ODIs for almost a year as the focus turned to the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup.

Post-World Cup, the Indian team wanted to solve the number 4 issue and recalled Iyer to the ODI squad for the tour of the United States and the West Indies. On his return, Iyer scored 71 off 68 balls and 65 off 65 balls on the number 5 position.

In the first ODI of West Indies tour of India at Chennai, Shreyas Iyer was finally given the chance to play on the number 4 position. Iyer immediately showed signs of a perfect middle-order batsman as he steadied the Indian innings after Virat Kohli’s departure at 2-25. He scored 70 in 88 balls and helped India to post a target of 287.

In the second ODI at Visakhapatnam on 18 December 2019, Iyer scored 53 in 32 balls at a strike rate of 165.62 as India levelled the series. In the same match, Iyer scored 31 runs in a single over, becoming the highest score in an over by an Indian in ODIs.

Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik Guide India To 6-Wicket Win Over Sri Lanka

Indian middle-order batsmen came to the fore on Monday as the duo of Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik helped India beat Sri Lanka by 6 wickets in the fourth T20I of the ongoing Nidahas Twenty20 Tri-Series. The match was reduced to 19-overs-a-side affair after an hour was lost due to rain. India skipper Rohit Sharma yet again failed to score runs as he was dismissed for 11 runs by Akila Dananjaya in the second over. His partner Shikhar Dhawan soon followed suit as he was dismissed for 8 runs in the 4th over by Dananjaya. Next batsmen, Lokesh Rahul and Suresh Raina, were on course in reaching the 153-run target with some clever stroke plays in the middle. However, Rahul was dismissed hit-wicket in the 10th over becoming the first Indian to be out hit-wicket in T20Is. After surviving a close run-out chance in the previous ball, Rahul got out hit wicket while trying to work a Jeevan Mendis delivery into the leg side.

Next to go was Raina, who scored a quick-fire 15-ball 27 runs. Sri Lanka got their brief hopes high after having two new Indian batsmen, Pandey and Karthik, on the crease. Pandey and Karthik kept the run-rate going for the visitors and they made sure India crossed the finishing line. For the Lankans, Dananjaya was the lone economical bowler as he returned with figures of 2/19 in his four overs. Nuwan Pradeep and Jeevan Mendis took a wicket each. By virtue of this win, India has managed to avenge upon their five-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in the tournament opener.

Earlier sent into bat, Kusal Mendis once again shone brightly for Sri Lanka scoring 55 off 38 balls with the help of three fours and as many sixes before Indian bowlers led by Thakur brought their side back into the game with wickets at regular intervals. Thakur returned with impressive figures of 4/27, while young off-spinner Washinton Sundar (2/21) scalped two wickets as India made a strong fightback after leaking runs in the first 10 overs. 

Vijay Shankar (1/30), Yuzvendra Chahal (1/34) and Jaydev Unadkat (1/33) also accounted for a wicket each. But initially, it looked Rohit Sharma’s decision to bowl first backfired as Sri Lanka got off to a flier scoring 24 runs off the first two overs. Left-arm pacer Unadkat was taken to the cleaners as he gave away 15 runs in the first over. But India pulled things back a bit with two wickets in back-to-back overs. Thakur gave India the breakthrough when he dismissed Danushka Gunathilaka (17) in the third over with Suresh Raina taking a stunning catch at midwicket.

Sundar then cleaned up in-form Kushal Perera (3) in the next over as the batsman went for an expansive reverse sweep. But thereafter Kusal Mendis took the Indians bowlers to task in Upul Tharanga’s (22) company as the duo added 62 runs for the third wicket to help Sri Lanka reach 94 for two after 10 overs. 

Kusal Mendis continued his good form and did not spare a single Indian bowler while Tharanga preferred to play the second fiddle. Kusal Mendis used the crease to great effect to hit most of his scoring shots on his favourite left side. Shankar broke the dangerous-looking partnership when he bowled Tharanga in the 11th over.

But Shankar himself spoilt his good work, courtesy two bad deliveries which were clobbered over the boundary by Lankan stand-in skipper Thisara Perera (15). In between, Kusal Mendis brought up his fourth fifty in five innings in just 31 balls. But India pulled Sri Lanka back again with three more quick wickets in the form of Thisara Perera, Jeevan Mendis and set Kusal Mendis.

While the Lankan skipper perished in search of one too many big shots, caught by Chahal off Thakur, Sundar went through Jeevan Mendis’s defence with his guile. The big blow for Sri Lanka came when Kusal Mendis departed next, giving away a soft catch to Rohit off Chahal. Thakur then dismissed Dasun Shanaka (19) and Dushmantha Chameera in consecutive balls in the 19th over to stand in with a chance to claim a hat-trick which didn’t come.

His fellow pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar and left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav bagged a wicket each. The Kiwis had a poor start to their chase when Bhuvneshwar bowled opener Martin Guptill with a slower ball that swung away to hit the off-stump. Guptill was going for an ambitious heave through mid-wicket, but was beaten by the movement in the air. Colim Munro, the other New Zealand opener, departed in the next over when he holed out to mid on off a Jasprit Bumrah delivery. Kane Williamson and Glenn Phillips added 20 runs between them before both fell to consecutive balls.

Kidambi Srikanth Leads A Pack Of Achievers

The year 2017 has been one of the most eventful years in the world of sports. Be they Indian or international, certain moments have found their way into the heart of sport-loving audience. From new records being made, the emergence of young and new talent, to veterans signing off from their respective fields, it has been exciting and most illuminating. As 2017 gets ready to bid goodbye and 2018 knocks at our doors, let us take a quick look at the top ten Indian sporting moments, which will remain etched in the mind of the fans for a long time now.

1. Rohit Sharma’s record double-century

Rohit Sharma has time and again proved why he can be counted on the list of one of the most destructive openers in the game. While he leans a bit more towards the erratic side, he does not shy away from standing tall in moments where he is needed most by his team. In the second One-day international (ODI) against Sri Lanka in December, Rohit played a gem of an innings as he became the first-ever batsman to score a double-hundred on three different occasions.

His first double-century came against Australia in 2013, where he scored 209. The second and third came against the Sri Lankans in 2014 and 2017 respectively, where he scored a record 264 and 208*.

The magnitude of his achievement can be judged by the fact there have been only seven double-centuries scored in ODIs till now, three of them coming from Rohit’s willow.

2. Virat Kohli’s record of most test double-centuries as captain

India captain Virat Kohli has been on fire all year, breaking batting records and team records at will. With his stylish batting and aggressive approach towards the game, his consistency and aura of prominence across formats is unmatched. In February, Kohli surpassed Sir Donald Bradman and Indian legend Rahul Dravid as he scored the fourth Test double-century on consecutive series.

Apart from this, in November, Kohli (6) went past former West Indies captain Brian Lara’s record (5) of the maximum number of double-hundreds as captain in Tests.

However, internal issues made the legendary spinner step down from the top post.

Rumours of conflict between Kohli and Kumble came to the fore and Kumble even mentioned Kohli’s name in his letter, made public post resigning.

The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), comprising Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar, got together and Ravi Shastri was given the reins while India continued with their stupendous performance.

The Virat Kohli-led team was looking to repeat Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s extravagant ICC Champions Trophy 2013 victory over England but Sarfraz Ahmed’s Pakistan crushed the hopes of millions as they beat the formidable Men in Blue by a massive 180-run margin to lift the 2017 title. What was one of the most embarrassing and appalling defeat for India that will surely be unforgettable for the fans, at least until India manage to thrash Pakistan by an even bigger margin.

India had a mixed run in the Champions Trophy group stage as they lost to not-so-famed Sri Lankan side by seven wickets but managed to pull off impeccable victories against Pakistan, in their opening match, and South Africa later in the series. India, in the final, were however caught off-guard by the brilliant all-round display by their arch-rivals.

The year 2017 has been one of recognition for Indian badminton — Kidambi Srikanth topping that. Becoming the only Indian to win four Super Series events in a calendar year and only the fourth male shuttler to achieve the feat, Srikanth announced himself to the world in some style. After the runners-up position in the Singapore Open, Srikanth won Indonesia Open and Australian Open back-to-back and won two consecutive Super Series titles in a similar manner later in the year at Denmark and France.

Despite PV Sindhu’s two Super Series titles and a silver at World Championships, Srikanth made the year completely his own.

Indian football came of age when the FIFA U-17 World Cup stepped into the nation. With much fanfare and frenzy around the tournament, India, for the first time, hosted and played in a FIFA tournament — an achievement in its own right. None expected India to beat their much more accomplished opponents. The only expectation people had from India’s U-17 team was that they give it their all on the pitch and the young boys did not disappoint.

Despite losing all their matches, Jeakson Singh created history becoming the only Indian to score in a FIFA tournament when he headed in against Colombia and goalkeeper Dheeraj Singh became the apple of everyone’s eye. A stepping stone indeed but football in India surely got a kick.

After a scintillating start to their campaign with four consecutive wins, the women’s team faced two defeats at the hands of South Africa and Australia. However, India hit right back at Australia and in the most important time — the semi-finals.

However, they fell short of nine runs and failed to lift the World Cup against the host nation, England.

This was Team India’s third appearance in the final but Mithali Raj-led team failed to get over the line. Apart from the team display, skipper Mithali Raj became the leading ODI run-getter and also recorded seven consecutive ODI fifties, most by any women.

While hockey continues to develop in India with the Hockey World League and other big events being organised in the country, it was the grand moment when both the men and women claimed the Asian crown, which made the year memorable.

9. MS Dhoni records 100th ODI stumping

Arguably the most successful wicket-keeper batsman in the world, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a phenomenon on his own. From thinking out of the box to taking daredevil-like decisions, Dhoni has a special place in the Indian team. During his tenure as a captain of India, Dhoni achieved everything that a captain could. But he did not stop there.

During the Sri Lanka tour, Dhoni overtook Kumar Sangakkara and became the only gloveman to effect 100 ODI stumpings. Quick, flashy and in a jiffy movement behind the stumps, the moment will be a one glorious folklore for the generations to come.

10. India blanked Sri Lanka 9-0 across all formats

For the first time in the India’s cricketing history, an Indian team blanked their opponent away from home. In October 2017, India toured Sri Lanka for three Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is and the rest is history. India wrought havoc in the island nation, blanking Sri Lanka 9-0 across all formats.

Ravi Shastri’s first assignment as head coach proved to be fruitful for the team on the whole. During that tour, India’s search for a seam-bowling all-rounder also found face in Hardik Pandya as the youngster put up brilliant performances to cement his place in the team.

India signed off with another sweep of all three series against Sri Lanka at home, though they were not able to win all the matches this time around.
