First time it was so nice, we had to do it twice. And just like that, India created history on Sunday, becoming the first team to defend T20 World Cup and win the title at home. With three ICC trophies within a span of 24 months, and the sheer dominance…
Kohli leaves a 'Virat' legacy behind in Tests
May 17, 2025
The joy of the 2011 World Cup win hadn’t even subsided when India faced two humiliating clean sweep defeats in England, followed by Australia. The magnitude of the defeat can be understood by the fact that in NO game did India even come close to fighting (forget winning). If all…
One brings two, and that’s what happened with Team India as they clinched their third Champions Trophy in style. If the T20WC 2024 win was special because it broke the over-decade ‘trophyless’ streak, this win is special as it is India’s second consecutive trophy, that too in less than…
