Watch: Suryakumar's epic Dhoni reminder in response to reporter's 'finisher' query | Cricket
There is a reason why Suryakumar Yadav is the No. 1 ranked T20I batsman in the world. And he proved it again in India’s narrow six-wicket win against New Zealand in the second T20 International on a difficult track in Lucknow. Denying the spinners, Suryakumar scored an unusually unbeaten 26 off 31 balls, the highest score by a batsman in that match. And much of that innings was down to his calm…

India's T20 World Cup Triumph 2024
"Dhoni finishes off in style, It's India who win the World Cup." These lines said by Ravi Shastri had gone old with respect to India's World Cup Trophy drought. The most dominating team in bilateral series could not win an ICC Trophy and this was the biggest disappointment for ICT fans. After losing the 2023 world cup final, the first thought which came into my mind was that most probably 2024 t20 wc would be the last world cup Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will play together. So, this was their only chance for a world cup glory and they did not gave us a feeling of dismay, sadness and disappointment but an year full of cherishing memories, joy and happiness
India won the T20 World Cup 2024 happening in the USA and West Indies. They became the only team to win a world cup staying unbeaten. Their journey to the final was a happening one from the high pressure game against or the game against Australia. Especially, the game against Pakistan was a sheer representation of the evolution of Indian team's pace battery in the last decade. From 98 percentage of winning the match with Pakistan our pace battery broke their dreams of winning a game against India as they took the game from them in the last 10 overs. From the first game to the last one, India never looked a under confident or worn out team as they dominated everybody they faced badly. One such win was against Australia in the Super Eight which was personal for every Indian citizen ( If you know what I am talking about). Rohit's knock in that game was the indication of the frustration he had in himself after every knockout loss in every world cup in the last 5-6 years with more respect to 19th November. Then comes the Semifinal against England and that transition from 10 wicket win to 10 wickets out was outstanding. The game was one sided as soon as England completed their powerplay during the batting stint. Every cricket in the team was hungry of that silverware. So, they never looked back to the losses they had been facing but focused on their race to the unmatched legacy of winning a World Cup Trophy. The final was the best which could happen in an ICC tournament. It was not a cricket match a display of every emotion one can imagine in a game of cricket. India set a target of 177 and defend for India seemed easy until Klaseen smashed 24 runs in the 15th over and his team needed just 30 of 30 balls. India's pace attack pulled off a blinder from that stage by first Bumrah giving an economical over and then Hardik took the wicket of Klaseen to shift the momentum of the game on his side. The hidden hero was Arshdeep Singh who also pulled of two brilliant overs at the right - one in the middle and the other in the death. Last over consisted of South Africa requiring 16 runs and Hardik had to defend them. The first ball was a full toss indicating the pressure Hardik had with respect to his last 6 months. Miller swung his bat so hard but could not get the middle and it was the sticker that touched his bat but it was enough to go to the boundary but not above it as Suryakumar Yadav caught the ball and fancied India's chances to get the silverware.
Virat Kohli was in tears and Rohit Sharma lied down to celebrate their undermining hard work in the last decade and the last time in this format. The pair decided to announce their retirement from T20I's together after getting their hands on the silverware. Looking back to their world cup triumph I see a roller coaster ride filled with emotions of joy, happiness and satisfaction. The trophy weighing 12kg which they lifted had made 1.3 billion people happy back home which they expressed through lighting firecrackers and doing individual parades. India became the first cricket team to win a T20I world cup unbeaten displaying their want to get hands on the trophy badly and they gave everything for it. We also gave everything for it and got the result back paying the debt of our worshipping to the team from the last 17 freaking years.
Ravi Shastri's lines were replaced by the ones - Long on, Long On and what a catch, Suryakumar takes it and Miller's gone !!!!!!!!

Most Runs in the World Cup
For a cricketer, there can’t be a bigger moment than representing his team in the prestigious World Cup event. The top players across the world clash against each other in an event that attracts a huge number of spectators.
The cricket’s first World Cup was held back in 1975 in England. West Indies were the most dominant side in those years. They won consecutive titles in 1975 and 1979 before India broke their quest for a hat-trick of wins by beating them in the 1983 World Cup final.
They etched their names in the history books by breaking numerous records on the biggest stage. Two records that always come to mind whenever you talk about the World Cup are indeed the highest run-scorer and highest wicket-taker.
Who has scored the most runs in World Cup history?
Indian legendary batter, Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for scoring the most runs in 50-over World Cup history. Tendulkar has 2278 runs in 45 matches at an average of 56.95, including six hundreds.
Tendulkar has, in fact, played the second most number of matches (45) in World Cup history, only behind Ricky Ponting (46). The master blaster has an outstanding record in the ODI World Cup. He made his first appearance in the 1992 World Cup, smashing three fifties in that edition. In 8 matches, Tendulkar amassed 283 runs at an average of 47.17.
In the next edition in 1996, he took the world by storm as he smacked 523 runs in seven matches at a stellar average of 87.17. The little master hammered two fifties and three hundred in that particular edition.
His next best World Cup edition came in the 2003 edition. Tendulkar finished with the most runs, amassing 673 runs in 11 matches at an average of 61.18. India looked like a hot favorite to win the trophy but went down to Australia in the final.
Sachin Tendulkar’s quest to win a World Cup ended in the 2011 edition. Under the leadership of MS Dhoni, India lifted the 2011 World Cup trophy after beating Sri Lanka in the final. Sachin Tendulkar scored the second most runs in that World Cup edition, amassing 482 runs, including two hundred and as many fifties.
Second on the list of most runs in World Cup history is India’s run-machine Virat Kohli. The former Indian captain has played 37 matches in the World Cup, smashing 1795 runs at an average of 59.83.

Top 3 Knocks By Rohit Sharma In Test Cricket
Over the past few years, Rohit Sharma - who is renowned for his powerful hitting and elegant stroke play - has undergone a significant transformation. Once widely regarded as a limited-overs specialist, the Hitman has hushed his critics and become a pivotal figure in India's Test cricket resurgence. Rohit's development from a T20 superstar to a capable Test batsman demonstrates his adaptability and unwavering determination. He possesses a special gift that is typically reserved for the finest players: the ability to effortlessly transition between forms. His exploits in the shorter forms continue to enthrall fans, but his achievements in Test cricket have solidified his status as a contemporary icon. With a combination of strength, timing, and attitude, Rohit Sharma has produced innings of exceptional excellence in the game's longest format. His ability to lead the innings and his propensity for scoring enormous totals make him an essential element of the Indian Test team, especially in the upcoming cricket matches. Let's examine some of the maestro's best knocks played in the red-ball format.
212 vs South Africa, 2019 Ranchi
Rohit Sharma had a spectacular comeback in Test cricket in 2019. He had an outstanding game and finished as the series' leading run-scorer. In three tests, Rohit Sharma amassed 529 runs at an average of 132.25. In the series' third Test match, he scored his highest-ever Test Cricket score. Rohit Sharma's run rate was unaltered even when players like Mayank Agarwal, Pujara, and Kohli were dismissed at low scores. He scored 212 runs in just 255 balls with a strike rate of over 80, including six sixes and 28 fours inside his knock. His effort helped India collect 497 runs in the first innings. India won that match by 202 runs and an inning.
177 vs West Indies, 2013 Kolkata
India's current captain, Rohit Sharma, made his Test debut in November 2013 at Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata during Sachin Tendulkar's farewell Test match against the West Indies. The skipper of India had an outstanding Test debut. After the West Indies scored 234 runs in the first innings, India amassed an incredible 453 runs in the second, thanks to a spectacular knock by Rohit Sharma. The hitman came onto the pitch during a difficult part of the game. India had lost four wickets and only managed 82 runs. However, Rohit Sharma then struck with a stunning punch. In order to take control of the game, he assisted in forming crucial alliances with MS Dhoni and Ravichandran Ashwin. Rohit Sharma was quite successful, scoring 177 runs in 301 balls with 23 fours and 1 six, setting the live scorecard on fire. Apart from saving the innings, he also registered his first hundred in the already long list of Rohit Sharma centuries. Moreover, this was the innings that established his reputation as a dangerous player.
176 vs South Africa, 2019 Visakhapatnam
In Test cricket, Rohit Sharma's performances deteriorated after he made some outstanding knocks in the first few games. He was later dismissed from the squad. Rohit Sharma was given another chance to start his Test Cricket career again before the 2019 World Test Championship started. Rohit Sharma began for India against South Africa at Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium, scoring 176 runs off 244 balls in his first return innings. He helped the team to 502 runs in the first innings by sharing an incredible 317 runs for the first wicket with Mayank Agarwal. India won by 203 runs in that match.

[ad_1] Chennai Super Kings (PC: CSK/X) The team Things didn’t go to plan for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the 2024 IPL. They came into the tournament as the defending champions but failed to qualify for the playoffs. Injuries to key players played a part. Also, the team was going through a captaincy transition, with MS Dhoni handing over the reins to Ruturaj Gaikwad. After the tournament, this correspondent asked CSK chief executive Kasi Viswanathan about how the management reacted to the failure. He was never going to press the panic button. “We are not going to win every year,” Viswanathan had said. “We had several injuries. But we would be absolutely fine going ahead.” This is an out-and-out cricket franchise, totally aware of the highs and lows in sport. They don’t overreact. Ahead of the 2025 IPL mega auction, CSK had a clear retention strategy, and they managed to keep hold of their core group of cricketers, the biggest takeaway being retaining MS Dhoni as an uncapped player. The former captain remains the heartbeat of the franchise. Auction purse The five-time IPL champions have retained Gaikwad and Ravindra Jadeja for Rs 18 crore each, Matheesha Pathirana for Rs 13 crore, Shivam Dube for Rs 12 crore and Dhoni for Rs 4 crore. In the process, they have spent Rs 65 crore. They will go to the mega auction in Jeddah on November 24 and 25 with a purse of Rs 55 crore, out of a total of Rs 120 crore. They will have to build the team around the retained players. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here MS Dhoni in action in IPL 2024 (PC: IPL/X) Areas they need to strengthen CSK need an opening partner for Gaikwad. Their famous spin-choke at Chepauk needs quality spinners bowling in tandem. They need at least one high-quality, hit-the-deck fast bowler. Also, at 43 years of age, Dhoni no longer remains the finisher he used to be. So, CSK would like to have a death-overs specialist with the bat. Players CSK would target It is learnt that Washington Sundar is high on CSK’s wish list. But the off-spinning all-rounder will be one of the top attractions at the auction and will not come cheap. The franchise can’t break the bank on just one player. If Washington is unattainable, Ravichandran Ashwin could be their back-up option. CSK, according to sources, are keen on having Mohammed Shami as well. Once again, it will depend on how the bidding pans out. Given their trend-set, CSK are unlikely to go beyond Rs 15-16 crore even for a high-profile player. Also, keep an eye on whether CSK bid for James Anderson, the 42-year-old England fast-bowling legend, who has come to the auction with a base price of Rs 1.25 crore. Following Dwayne Bravo’s departure, the Chennai-based franchise needs someone who can look after the bowling group. Anderson can fit into the player-cum-mentor role. Players they would like to buy back CSK released a lot of players they would have liked to retain – Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Mahesh Theekshana, Tushar Deshpande and Sameer Rizvi. The problem is that they can use only one Right-to-match (RTM) option at the auction. They could use it for Rachin.

MS Dhoni: The Legacy of a Cricketing Legend
MS Dhoni: The Legacy of a Cricketing Legend
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, fondly known as "Mahi," is one of the most iconic figures in crickbet99 history. His journey from a small town in Jharkhand to becoming the captain of the Indian cricket team is a story of determination, calmness, and exceptional leadership. Dhoni's influence transcends the boundaries of cricket, making him a beloved figure both on and off the field.
Early Life and Rise to Fame
Born on July 7, 1981, in Ranchi, Jharkhand, Dhoni had a humble beginning. His passion for sports was evident from a young age, excelling in football and badminton before turning his focus to cric99. After impressing in local tournaments, he made his debut for the Indian team in 2004 as a wicketkeeper-batsman.
A Leader Like No Other
Dhoni’s ascent to captaincy began in 2007 when he led the Indian T20 team to victory in the inaugural ICC World T20. His calm demeanor under pressure and strategic acumen set him apart. In 2008, he took over the ODI and Test captaincy, leading India to significant milestones:
ICC Cricket World Cup 2011: Dhoni's captaincy reached its zenith when he led India to its second World Cup title after 28 years, famously hitting a six to seal the victory.
ICC Champions Trophy 2013: Under his leadership, India clinched this prestigious title, further cementing his legacy.
The Finisher
One of Dhoni's most remarkable traits is his ability to finish games.

Beyond his statistics—over 10,000 runs in ODIs and numerous match-winning performances—his leadership style and ability to nurture young talent left a lasting legacy.
Life Beyond Cricket

MS Dhoni: A Comprehensive Exploration of a Cricketing Legend
Introduction
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, fondly known as "MS Dhoni," is more than just a cricketer; he is an icon of resilience, calmness, and unparalleled leadership. Over the years, Dhoni has carved out a niche in Indian and global cricket, earning titles such as "Captain Cool" and becoming a source of inspiration for millions. This article delves deep into his life, career, and legacy, with a particular focus on the books that have chronicled his journey: "MS Dhoni: The Untold Story" and "Captain Cool: The M.S. Dhoni Story."
Early Life and Rise to Stardom
MS Dhoni's journey from the small town of Ranchi to the pinnacle of world cricket is nothing short of a fairy tale. Born on July 7, 1981, in a modest family, Dhoni's early life was marked by challenges that would have deterred many. However, his love for sports, particularly football and cricket, kept him going. As a young boy, Dhoni showed a natural talent for sports, but it was his switch from being a goalkeeper in football to a wicketkeeper in cricket that set the stage for his future greatness.
His breakthrough came when he was selected for the Bihar U-19 team, and soon after, he was picked for the India A team. His consistent performances caught the eye of selectors, and in 2004, he made his ODI debut against Bangladesh. Although his debut was less than impressive, Dhoni's talent soon shone through, and he established himself as a mainstay in the Indian team.
The Captaincy Era: Defining Leadership in Cricket
When MS Dhoni was appointed as the captain of the Indian cricket team in 2007, many questioned the decision. However, Dhoni silenced his critics with his calm demeanor and astute decision-making on the field. His leadership style was characterized by an unflappable calmness, earning him the moniker "Captain Cool." Under his captaincy, India achieved numerous milestones, including winning the 2007 ICC T20 World Cup, the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.
One of the defining moments of Dhoni's captaincy was the 2011 World Cup final, where he promoted himself up the batting order and led India to victory with a match-winning knock. This moment not only cemented his place as one of the greatest captains in cricket history but also made him a national hero.
MS Dhoni: The Untold Story – A Review
"MS Dhoni: The Untold Story" is more than just a biography; it is an exploration of the man behind the cricketer. Written by Neeraj Pandey, the book offers readers an in-depth look at Dhoni's life, focusing on the untold aspects of his journey. The narrative is a blend of personal anecdotes, interviews with those who have been close to Dhoni, and a detailed account of his rise to fame.
Strengths of the Book:
Personal Insights: The book excels in providing readers with personal insights into Dhoni's life. It sheds light on his humble beginnings, his struggles, and the support he received from his family and friends. These insights help readers understand the man behind the cricketer and appreciate the hard work and determination that went into his success.
Narrative Style: Neeraj Pandey's narrative style is engaging and keeps the reader hooked from start to finish. The book is well-paced, with a good balance of personal stories and professional achievements.
Interviews and Anecdotes: The inclusion of interviews with Dhoni's family, friends, and teammates adds depth to the narrative. These anecdotes provide a unique perspective on Dhoni's life and career, offering readers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes moments that shaped him.
Weaknesses of the Book:
Limited Focus on Controversies: While the book does a commendable job of exploring Dhoni's life, it tends to gloss over some of the controversies that have surrounded him. For instance, the book does not delve deeply into the criticism he faced during the latter part of his career or the IPL spot-fixing scandal that rocked Indian cricket.
Overemphasis on Success: While Dhoni's success is well-documented, the book occasionally borders on hagiography. The author tends to emphasize Dhoni's achievements, sometimes at the expense of a more balanced portrayal that includes his failures and learning experiences.
Captain Cool: The M.S. Dhoni Story – A Review
"Captain Cool: The M.S. Dhoni Story," written by Gulu Ezekiel, is another significant book that chronicles Dhoni's life and career. Published in 2008, the book provides a detailed account of Dhoni's rise from obscurity to becoming one of the most successful captains in Indian cricket history.
Strengths of the Book:
Detailed Chronology: Ezekiel does an excellent job of providing a chronological account of Dhoni's career. The book meticulously traces his journey from his early days in Ranchi to his ascension as the captain of the Indian cricket team.
Focus on Cricketing Achievements: The book places a strong emphasis on Dhoni's cricketing achievements, making it a must-read for cricket enthusiasts. Ezekiel's analysis of Dhoni's captaincy, his tactics, and his impact on Indian cricket is insightful and well-researched.
In-depth Analysis: Ezekiel's in-depth analysis of key moments in Dhoni's career, such as his explosive innings against Pakistan and his leadership in the 2007 T20 World Cup, provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of Dhoni's cricketing genius.
Weaknesses of the Book:
Lack of Personal Insights: While the book excels in covering Dhoni's cricketing career, it falls short in providing personal insights into his life. Readers looking for a more intimate portrayal of Dhoni may find the book lacking in this aspect.
Limited Coverage of Post-2008 Career: Since the book was published in 2008, it does not cover Dhoni's career beyond that point. As a result, readers miss out on key moments, such as the 2011 World Cup victory and Dhoni's captaincy in the IPL.
Dhoni’s Legacy: A Lasting Impact on Cricket
MS Dhoni's impact on cricket extends far beyond his statistics and records. His leadership style, characterized by calmness under pressure and a deep understanding of the game, has set a new standard for captains worldwide. Dhoni's ability to remain composed in the most intense situations earned him the respect of his teammates and opponents alike.

Under his captaincy, several young players emerged and went on to become key members of the Indian team. Dhoni's trust in young players, coupled with his ability to lead by example, created an environment where players could thrive and perform at their best.
Moreover, Dhoni's influence is not limited to cricket. His story of success, achieved through hard work, perseverance, and humility, resonates with people from all walks of life. Dhoni's journey from a small-town boy to a global icon serves as a source of inspiration for millions, demonstrating that with determination and self-belief, anything is possible.
MS Dhoni in Popular Culture
