On Saturday (October 12) against Bangladesh in Hyderabad, this Kerala maverick produced one of the dream knocks played by an Indian in a T20I.

Babar Azam has not been in the best of form and is yet to notch a Test half-century December 2022.

A generation ago, Sachin Tendulkar scripted an unbeaten century as India pulled off a remarkable run chase of 387 in Chennai. Such has been the team’s downward trajectory in this series that there was never any danger of history repeating itself.

This was India's first series defeat at home in 12 years and the repercussions were clearly felt on the WTC 2023-25 points table.

In the video captured by a fan, Virat Kohli can be seen smashing the water box with his bat before proceeding with the dejected walk towards the pavilion.

Barcelona have enjoyed famous victories over their bitter rivals before, mostly notably under Johan Cruyff and Pep Guardiola, but none as unexpected as this.

India, set 147 to win, were bowled out in just 29.1 overs, with only Rishabh Pant going past 12.

Rishabh Pant was batting brilliantly despite wickets tumbling at the other end and had kept India alive in the 147 chase at a track aiding the spinners.

Given what happened in the three Tests against New Zealand, it was time to make quick amends and it seems that BCCI is already looking towards that direction.

The IPL 2025 mega auction will see several high profile stars, including Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer and Arshdeep Singh, go under the hammer.
