After Hasan Ali took the wicket at the beginning, it seemed that Pakistan could stop Sri Lanka at a low total.  will be successful.  However, then Kusal Mendes' catch of Shaheen Afridi's ball fell short of Imam-ul-Haq and then the misfortune of Pakistani bowlers began.  Kosal Mendis played a brilliant game and scored 122 runs off 77 balls hitting six sixes and 14 fours and overwhelmed the Pakistani bowlers.  Due to their aggressive style, neither the Pakistani captain could set a field nor the Pakistani bowlers understood what line to keep.  Sri Lanka scored 102 runs between 20 and 30 overs, and at one point it looked like the target would be close to 400, but Pakistan's fast bowlers showed better bowling in the last 20 overs and took wickets one after the

Rachin Ravindra: Who is the Indian-origin Kiwi all-rounder who has thrashed defending champions England's bowling?

It was hailed as a complete team performance by New Zealand when defending champions England suffered a heavy nine-wicket defeat at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad yesterday.  However, the player who grabbed all the attention was the 23-year-old all-rounder Rachin Ravindra, despite not giving a chance to tackle England's strong batting with an excellent bowling and fielding performance.  Before the start of this tournament, Ravinder's bowling was definitely being talked about, but nobody knew that he would completely destroy England's bowling by playing very aggressive batting at number three.  Left-arm off-spin all-rounder Rachin Ravindra's father hails from India, but Ravindra himself was born on 18 November 1999 in Wellington.  His father's name is Ravi Krishnamurthy, a software professional in Bangalore who migrated to New Zealand in the 1990s.  He himself was so fond of cricket that when Ravindra was born, he named him 'Rachan'.  A combin

  By the way, it is not known when we will get a chance to see India and if we get to see cricket in India, then what is the matter.  But the problem is that till now the Indian visa has not been opened for Pakistanis.  Zeeshan Ali, a citizen of Islamabad, the federal capital of Pakistan, is a cricket fan and wants to go to India to watch the Cricket World Cup.  Talking to the BBC, Zeeshan said that 'I have bought tickets for three matches in total, which include Pakistan vs India, Pakistan vs Sri Lanka and Pakistan vs Afghanistan.'  Zeeshan, who wanted to watch the World Cup, was disappointed in those moments of waiting.  I have booked a hotel but unfortunately visas for Pakistanis have not been opened yet.  Now, due to the wait, my own enthusiasm has also been decreasing.  Remember that Cricket World Cup 2023 is going to start from today (October 5) in India.  The opening match of the Cricket World Cup, which will be held after four years, will be played today Thursday betwee

World Cup 2023: Why did the word 'choker' become associated with the talented Indian cricket team

The Indian team is a clear favorite in the Cricket World Cup 2023, but the tag of 'choker' is also attached to them.  This derisive nickname was commonly used in the cricketing world for the South African team that failed in the final moments of every major trophy from 1995 to 2015.  However, the name has become associated with India since winning the Champions Trophy in 2013 due to a dismal failure in key ICC tournaments.  Just two years ago in 2013, India won the Cricket World Cup and four years before that, in MS Dhoni's first campaign as captain, India also won the first T20 World Cup under a big star.  The hat-trick of victories not only gave MS Dhoni a great status, but also recognized the talent and breadth of cricket in India.  With the launch of the IPL in 2008 and its gradual rise to fame and fortune, players from every corner of the country were discovered and India's rise in the world of cricket was evident.India is the biggest power in the world of cricket
