George Linde to Jadeja, 2 runs, fifty for Jadeja. The sword celebration is out. He also puts his sword back into its safe. Kohli also mimicking him from the dressing room. Jadeja has grown so much as a batsman in the last couple of years that he is slowly making the number six/seven position his own. Spinning […]

The Indian opener batsman Rohit Sharma played brilliantly in the Third test match against South Africa. He scored his maiden double century with the help of a huge six. When Rohit was in the 190s, the whole Indian Team in the pressure and eagerly waiting for the double century. At the time of lunch, Rohit […]

Lungi Ngidi to Rohit, SIX, there he goes again! Fractionally short but that’s enough for Rohit who is one of the best pullers/hookers of this generation. Bread and butter stuff as he mauls this over deep square leg. There is a man there but he can only watch it sail over his head. Rohit Sharma scored […]

Lungi Ngidi to Rohit, SIX, the crowd erupts, the dressing room is up to applaud. Maiden Test double ton for Rohit! Reaches there with a maximum, as casual as you like. Perhaps, a tribute to the birthday boy Virender Sehwag? Might well be but that’s how Rohit has played all series, caring less for the milestone. Got […]

Anrich Nortje to Rahane, FOUR, oh that’s absolutely stunning! 137.8km/h, just edging into the fuller length zone, quite a bit of width, and he’s laid into the drive through to the sweeper cover fence for four. Ajinkya Rahane scored his 11th Test century in this match with under pressure. On the other side, Rohit Sharma scored 150 […]

D Piedt to Rahane, SIX, far too much flight, and Rahane charges down to get to the pitch of it perfectly and carts that over long-off for six. The Indian opener batsman Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant century, while the Indian vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane scored a brilliant half-century. The Day 1 play is called off earlier […]

Time for the toss. Wow, this is interesting. South Africa have their captain Faf and proxy captain in Bavuma (their vice-captain as well). Bavuma calls but he hasn’t got it right. Once again the Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and elect to bat first. This is the third Test match of this series […]

D Piedt to Rohit, SIX, he hasn’t timed it well enough, he’s picked it up from a length outside off, swatting that over the fielder at long-on for six! “Shades of Sehwag,” says Akshay in our comm. box! Absolute carnage, and he nods at Rahane, who’s probably telling him to calm down. Here is the clip of that […]

D Piedt to Rohit, SIX, hundred with a six! Oh shades of Sehwag alright. The Nawab of Najafgarh himself would be proud of this one! Takes off his helmet amidst the showering applause (and rain) and takes it all in! A toss-up outside off, Rohit gets on his knee and pulverizes this over wide long-off to send the Indian dressing […]

D Piedt to Rohit Sharma, SIX, it’s Rohit Sharma in the post-100 mood against the white ball! He won’t be as gentle as Rahane has been to the half-volley, resting on his back leg and flat-batting that over the long-off advertising boards for a stunning six. Here is the clip of that video:
