In the 2nd ODI against West Indies, Joe Root delivered a masterclass with a stunning 166 off 139 balls while chasing 308. With this knock, he not only led England to a memorable win but also became the highest run scorer for England in both ODI and Test formats, cementing his legendary status.
The 2025 cricket season has been tough for fans, marked by a wave of major retirements. Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell bid farewell to ODIs, while Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma stepped away from Test cricket. Adding to the emotional exits, Heinrich Klaasen announced his retirement from all international formats, leaving a void across teams and formats.
Finally, after a long wait of 17 years, Virat Kohli has won the IPL trophy, which also completes his cricketing career. He holds all of the trophies that a cricketer seeks to achieve throughout their career, while most of them even take retirement if they aren’t able to achieve them. But Virat Kohli gave us the reason why he is called the King of Cricket.
Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya, the modern-day brothers of Indian cricket, have made significant contributions to the international team and their respective IPL franchises. Whether it’s showing impact with the bat or ball, the brothers have always come out on top for their teams.
Rohit Sharma is one of the oldest players in the history of the Indian Premier League, having played all 18 seasons of the tournament. He has achieved everything in the tournament, having won 6 titles, with 5 of them coming as a captain, but there is one thing that he has not accomplished till now, and it’s the Orange Cap.
