Sivaramakrishnan, who played 25 international matches for India, made his Test debut in Antigua in April 1983 at the age of 17 years and 118 days, becoming one of the youngest to represent the country in the format.

Sivaramakrishnan, who played 25 international matches for India in a five-year career, said the struggles became severe during the IPL held in the UAE during the Covid-19 lockdown. “I was down completely and I didn’t want to see myself in the mirror. I would have a couple of drinks and go to sleep because I could not bear anything. Whenever I was awake, I thought I was going to die.”

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar criticised India’s bowling after their 76-run loss to South Africa, calling the attack fragile and exposed. He slammed Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube for conceding 67 runs, saying they lacked pace and intimidation. Akhtar also criticised Varun Chakaravarthy’s costly spell and urged India to play Kuldeep Yadav, calling him the “missing link” and a proven match-winner.

Batting great Sunil Gavaskar on Sunday said Mohammed Shami often reminds him of the legendary pacer Malcolm Marshall, thoughts of whom still "wakes him up from deep sleep".

Indian senior men's cricket team head coach and former India cricketer Ravi Shastri on Saturday took a walk down memory lane and posted a nostalgic post. Shastri took to Twitter and shared photos of himself with West Indies batting legend Sir Vivian Richards and bowling icon Malcolm Marshall. “Brothers in arms.

Ravi Shastri has declared Jasprit Bumrah as India's best-ever fast bowler, even surpassing Kapil Dev, highlighting his ability to dismantle any opposition across formats. Shastri compared Bumrah's skill in reading batsmen to that of Malcolm Marshall, noting his improved swing with the new ball.

Did Dilip Vengsarkar like Kabir Khan's '83? Did the West Indies' speedster Malcolm Marshall not like him? Who was the fastest bowler in his times? Lots more in this interview, which we had with him a couple of days ago.

Sir Viv Richards had once feared that Test cricket will die down a slow death but the advent of T20 format has instilled a fresh lease of life into the game.

Allan Border lauded Jasprit Bumrah, comparing his impact to the legendary Malcolm Marshall. While acknowledging the difficulty of a direct comparison, Border emphasized Bumrah's consistency and unique style.

The great Michael Holding has picked South African Dale Steyn among his top-four fast bowlers across generations and his list includes fellow West Indians Malcolm Marshall and Andy Roberts besides Australian Denis Lillee.

India's Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane has signed to play for Hampshire this season, the English county announced on its website on Thursday.

Dale Steyn fans still can't get enough of him, the ace South Africa pacer found out in a social media poll he conducted.

With the ICC banning use of saliva to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Dilip Jajodia, managing director of British Cricket Balls Ltd, which produces the Dukes balls has adviced the bowlers to carry a cotton towel. "When a player vigorously rubs the Dukes ball against his clothes, it releases the wax in it to permeate through leather and shine the ball, explained Jajodi.

With his short run-up, Jasprit Bumrah makes it extremely difficult for batsmen to measure his pace but the Indian pacer' body may not hold for long because of that approach, reckons West Indies' fast bowling great Michael Holding.

Former West Indies pacer and commentator Michael Holding has cocked a snook at the Indian Premier League (IPL), terming it not quite cricket.

Former India all-rounder Ravi Shastri on Wednesday said that ex-captain Sunil Gavaskar remains the best opener that he has ever seen in international cricket.

Despite Steve Smith being his compatriot, Ian Chappell went ahead with Virat Kohli who is widely regarded as the greatest batsmen in the modern era. He also gave Kohli his vote of confidence as captain.
