    In addition, Saurabh Tiwary has played for the Mumbai Indians, Delhi Daredevils (Delhi Capitals), Rising Pune Supergiants, and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League.

    According to ESPNcricinfo, Saurabh Tiwari said that he will be saying goodbye to his cricket career, which he started before to starting school. He continued by saying that he was delighted to make the decision since it was time to give up the state spot for a young player and they were also receiving opportunities for Test cricket. He said “He said, “It’s a little tough to bid farewell to this journey that I had started before my schooling. But I’m also sure that this is the right time for this. I feel that if you’re not in the national team and IPL, it’s better to vacate a spot in the state side for a youngster. Youngsters are getting a lot of chances in our Test team so I’m making this decision.”

    “It’s not like I’ve decided this only on the basis of my performances. You can see my record in Ranji and in the last domestic season. It’s always asked what I’m going to do next and for now I only know that cricket is the only thing I know so I’m going to be connected to the game. I got an offer from politics too but I haven’t thought about that.”

    Saurabh Tiwary was a member of Virat Kohli’s U19 World Cup-winning squad in 2008. Mayank Agarwal, Ravindra Jadeja, Sidharth Kaul, and numerous other players made up that squad. In the Indian Premier League, Tiwary was also well-known.

    He began his career with the Mumbai Indians and later played for the Delhi Daredevils, Rising Pune Supergiants, and Royal Challengers Bangalore. He played his final Indian Premier League game with the Mumbai Indians in 2021. In 93 games during his Indian Premier League career, Tiwary amassed 1494 runs at an average of 120.10. His best score was sixty-one, and he scored eight half-centuries.

    Since both players are from Jharkhand and have long hair, Saurabh Tiwary used to resemble MS Dhoni.


  • India vs England: Ben Stokes held this, not England team, accountable for the loss against India

    India vs England: Ben Stokes held this, not England team, accountable for the loss against India

    In the second test match, India defeated England spectacularly (IND vs ENG). Team India prevailed by 106 runs in the Vizag Test. Ben Stokes, the captain of England, questioned Zak Crawley’s removal following the game. The English captain has attributed this to DRS technology.

    In the match’s fourth innings, English opener Crawley amassed 73 runs in 132 balls with the aid of 8 fours and 1 six. He received LBW from Kuldeep Yadav. In light of this, Stokes stated, The game obviously makes advantage of technology. Since it is impossible for anything to be 100% accurate, we have the option of using the umpire’s call. I believe that this time, technology produced the incorrect outcome.

    What was the issue?

    In reality, Kuldeep Yadav was bowling the match’s 42nd over in the fourth innings. His sphere struck Crowley’s shin. The umpire, however, disregarded Kuldeep’s and the Indian team’s appeal and awarded Jack Crawley a clean sheet. Captain Rohit Sharma accepted Kuldeep’s plea to review. It looked from the replays that the ball was pitched outside of the leg stump’s line. However, upon reviewing the replays, the third umpire concluded that the ball was pitched in line, leading to Crowley’s out call.

    What took place throughout the game?

    Regarding the game, Team India had amassed 396 runs in the opening half. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 209 runs in a fantastic inning. England’s first innings was cut down to 253 runs in reply. Jasprit Bumrah got six wickets for Team India, while Kuldeep Yadav claimed three. After scoring 255 runs in the second innings, Team India gave England a target of 399 runs. But only 253 runs could be scored by the England squad. No player other than Jack Crawley was even capable of reaching a half century. In the second innings, Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah each claimed three wickets for India. Rajkot will host the third test between the two sides starting on February 15.

    IND vs. AFG 2nd T20I in Indore: Police detain pitch invader for touching and hugging Virat Kohli’s feet

    Virat Kohli, the former captain of India, made his T20I cricket debut in this match. Since November 2022, when India faced England in the semi-final of the 2022 T20 World Cup, Kohli has not participated in an international match in the format.

    As might be expected, the Indore crowd chanted Kohli’s name a lot during the game, even as he sat in the dugout following his dismissal during India’s chase. During the Afghanistan innings, there was also a minor interruption when a spectator made their way to the ground and collided with Kohli. He hugged Kohli and put his hands on his feet before lifting him off the ground.

    Real Madrid beats Barcelona in SUPERCOPA FINAL 

    In the Spanish Supercopa final, Real Madrid humiliated their bitter rivals Barcelona 4-1, with Vinicius Junior scoring a vicious hat-trick in the first half against a helpless Catalan defence.


    Jude Bellingham, who ripped past a ridiculously tall Barcelona defence and easily rounding Inaki Pena to score, started the celebration early with a delicious ball for Vinicius to chase. It’s Bellingham’s first trophy in Madrid.


    Although it’s unclear why Xavi set up such a high defensive line against Vinicius and Rodrygo, the Brazilians took full advantage and shared three more goals as Barcelona was completely outplayed.

    Jharkhand ready to welcome Ishan Kishan in Ranji Trophy but he might not be available

    Rahul Dravid has recommended Ishan Kishan for the Ranji Trophy, but he is still unavailable. Head coach Rahul Dravid emphasised that Ishan Kishan can become available again after playing domestic cricket, after making it clear that the wicketkeeper-batter’s absence from the Afghanistan T20Is was not because of disciplinary issues. Ishan reportedly mentioned mental exhaustion when he asked for a break from the Test series in South Africa in December and January.

    Debasish Chakraborty, secretary of the Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA), responded to PTI’s inquiry regarding Kishan’s suitability for the Ranji Trophy by saying that Kishan had not gotten in touch with them or indicated his availability.

    “No, we haven’t heard from Ishan or received any information regarding his availability. He will enter the playing XI whenever he tells us, Chakraborty said PTI.

    Kishan is reportedly planning to make a comeback for the five-Test series that begins in Hyderabad on January 25. Ishan may make himself available for Jharkhand’s next match against Services in Delhi starting on January 19, in accordance with the team management’s policy.
