He has become the second player to play the most number of international matches for India. Virat Kohli has broken Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s record in this matter. However, after 8 years, when he came to bat at number three in Test cricket, he failed miserably. His account was not even opened at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. He has been playing IPL on this ground for more than 15 years. In such a situation, his getting out for zero in the first innings of this historic match is not a good thing for a big player like him. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli came to play the 536th international match for India today. MS Dhoni has played 535 matches for Team India. In this way, Virat Kohli went ahead of his former captain MS Dhoni, but Virat is still 128 matches behind Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of Cricket. Sachin Tendulkar has played 664 matches for India in international cricket. At number four is Rahul Dravid, who has played 504 matches for India in his career and Rohit Sharma is at fifth position in the list, who has played 486 matches for India in international cricket so far. Players who have played most international matches for India 664 matches – Sachin Tendulkar 536 matches – Virat Kohli 535 matches – MS Dhoni 504 matches – Rahul Dravid 486 matches – Rohit Sharma
‘It doesn’t matter what the pitch is, we have to find a way to win’ captain Shan Masood after the defeat to England

So the first match of this series ended with a crushing defeat of the host team by an innings and 47 runs. Although Pakistan had scored more than 500 runs in the first innings, they still had to face defeat in the match. This was the first match in Test cricket history, when a team scored 500 runs in the first innings, and had to face defeat. On the other hand, now after this defeat, a big statement of team captain Shan Masood has come out. Shan Masood gave a big statement Let us tell you that after losing the Multan Test match against England, Shan Masood said during the post match – When you score 556 runs on the board, it is very important to support it with 10 wickets and keep the game close. This is something we did not do. If we take those 10 wickets and keep England around their score, the 220 we scored on the fifth day becomes challenging for them. That is the key to success, we have to work on things as a team. Masood further said- I would like the team to improve, it does not matter what the pitch is, we have to find a way to win. England showed us the way in this Test, you have to give them huge credit. We are sad with the result, sad as a country, but the beauty of the game is that it always gives you another chance. We are all working hard, we are going to give our all and try to change this. Well, now it will be worth watching that when Masood and Company will play the second match against England at Multan Cricket Stadium from 15th October, how will it perform?

MS Dhoni will be seen playing as an ‘uncapped’ player in IPL 2025, know what is the whole matter
Under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings has won the trophy of this important tournament five times. MS Dhoni (Image Credit- Twitter X) Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the most legendary player of Chennai Super Kings. Under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings has won the trophy of this important tournament five times. Let us tell you that after captaining Chennai Super Kings for 15 years, this veteran player had resigned from this important post before the 2024 season, after which this important responsibility was handed over to Ruturaj Gaikwad. When Dhoni had resigned from the post of captain of Chennai team, many people had expressed their views regarding whether he would be seen playing only as a player in IPL 2025. However, before the start of IPL 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has taken an important decision regarding the retention rule. All franchises will be allowed to retain a maximum of 6 players which may include five capped (Indian or overseas) and two uncapped players. This can be done through the option of retention or right to match. Chennai Super Kings can use this rule well. The former Team India captain could be retained in the uncapped slot as Mahendra Singh Dhoni has retired from international cricket in 2020. If Chennai Super Kings retains Dhoni under this rule then they will get Rs 4 crore instead of Rs 12 crore. Know what is the retention rule? Under this rule, a capped Indian player will become uncapped if he has not played in the starting eleven in international cricket in the five calendar years preceding the relevant season or does not have a central contract with the BCCI. This will be applicable only for Indian players. Earlier, Mahendra Singh Dhoni had said about his return, ‘We will have to see what decision the board takes regarding the retention of players. The ball is not in our court at this time. So once the rules are announced I will take my decision then. It also has to be seen whether the team reposes confidence in me or not.

ECB’s plan to privatise The Hundred is getting delayed, know the whole matter here
According to Vikram Banerjee, director of business operations at ECB, it will take them some time to find the right partner who will bring not just money but also expertise. England and Wales Cricket Board (Image Source: ECB) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had earlier announced that they have started the process of privatising the eight teams participating in The Hundred tournament. According to Vikram Banerjee, Director of Business Operations at the ECB, it will take them some time to find the right partner who will not only bring money but also their expertise. According to ESPNcricinfo, each county involved in The Hundred has a 51% stake – which they can either hold on to or sell for money. The ECB has the other 49%, for which they are looking for a buyer. The money they get from selling the 49% stake will be distributed between the first-class counties, Marylebone Cricket Club and the recreational game. “The most important thing is whether we find the right partners. If it takes a little while, that’s fine. We’ve been running for four years and so, if in this first round, we find that either the values are not there for one or all the teams, or the right partner is not there for one or all the teams, that’s fine. We’ll just keep running it, we’ll do another year. My priority is to get the right partners and make them amazing and help us grow,” Banerjee told the Business of Sport podcast. I think it is possible: Vikram Banerjee Vikram Banerjee further said, ‘If we do not find the right partner, for example for London Spirit, then we will hold it and work with MCC for another year and then try it next year. I think it is possible. We want to completely confirm this deal in the next 6 months.’ Meanwhile, in August, The Telegraph reported that GMR Group, the co-owners of Delhi Capitals, agreed a £120 million deal to buy Hampshire, which will also see them own 51% of Southern Brave. However, this has not been made official yet. According to the report, the ECB has held extensive discussions with foreign investors. Apart from GMR Group, Sun Group, which owns Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, is currently in talks with the owner of Northern Superchargers.

Asian Olympic Council Deputy Director General Vinod Kumar Tiwari said, ‘The Organising Committee is very excited about the inclusion of cricket in the 2026 Asian Games.’ However, sources have revealed that logistical challenges may prove too difficult to overcome despite a proposal to repurpose a baseball stadium in Nagoya for cricket matches. It is very important to include cricket in the 2026 Asian Games: Japan Cricket Association Operations Chief Alan Curr Japan Cricket Association’s operations chief Alan Kurr has stressed the importance of the Asian Games for the development of the game. He said, ‘It is very important that cricket is included in the 2026 Asian Games so that this game can be loved more and more even in those places where it is not played. Here cricket is seen as a very minor game.’ The Asian Cricket Council, headed by Jai Shah, is in constant talks with the relevant authorities. Jai Shah, who played a key role in cricket’s successful Los Angeles 2028 Olympic bid, is trying to expand the sport in South Asia.

Shaheen Afridi and his team insulted India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel; Know the matter?
Former cricketer Basit Ali hit out at the Pakistan bowling lineup and accused them of disrespecting Morkel when he was the coach of the team. Morne Morkel (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former South African fast bowler Morne Morkel has joined the coaching staff of the Indian cricket team and has started his tenure with an impressive performance from Jasprit Bumrah and other bowlers in the first Test against Bangladesh. Morkel was all smiles when the Indian bowlers were tearing apart the Bangladesh batting line-up in Chennai. Notably, Morkel has also spent some time with the Pakistan team. He joined them as bowling coach in June last year, but Morkel left the team after Pakistan’s failure to qualify for the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 stage. With six weeks left on his contract, the great bowler severed ties with the Pakistani team and joined Lucknow Super Giants. However, soon the BCCI called him and he could not refuse. Basit Ali slammed Pakistani players for insulting Morne Morkel Former cricketer Basit Ali hit out at the Pakistan bowling lineup and accused them of disrespecting Morkel when he was the coach of the team. Basit said on his YouTube channel, “Pakistani bowlers consider themselves bigger than cricket. They thought Morkel was nothing in front of us.” He further said that there is a lot of difference in the mentality of Indian and Pakistani players. He said, “We have come to know the difference. This is the same Bangladesh that played a match against Pakistan where it seemed that Pakistan was completely behind. This is the same Bangladesh that defeated Pakistan. The difference is of mentality, thinking and class.” Actually, Bangladesh recently clean swept Pakistan on its soil, while India performed brilliantly and defeated them in the first Test. Therefore, after India’s strong performance, Basit Ali has lashed out at the Pakistani bowlers.
