Staying in the present is the mantra Yash Dhull wants to live by, as the former India U-19 World Cup-winning captain aims to make the most of the opportunities that come his way, such as a stunning hundred in the Delhi Premier League (DPL). In a rain-truncated DPL game in New Delhi on Saturday, the…
Joe Root has brushed aside David Warner’s jibe that he will need to “take the surfboard off his front leg” if England is to triumph in Australia in the upcoming Ashes series. Root is Test cricket’s second-highest run-scorer of all time and widely considered central to England’s hopes of regaining the Ashes. But the 34-year-old…
16The number of innings Yashasvi Jaiswal took to reach 1000 Test runs against England — in the first innings in Manchester on 23 July 2025, equalling the record held by Australian Arthur Morris in July 1948 in Leeds.

Shubman Gill scored three centuries and a double hundred in the five-match series, and the India captain said that each hundred had a different significance. “The one in Leeds was my first match.
