In just five matches, Jake Fraser-McGurk has showcased exceptional talent, scoring three fifties, including two half-centuries in just 15 balls each. With a striking rate exceeding 230 and an average nearly touching 50, his performance is outstanding. Today, he came close to achieving the fastest IPL century. This kid is a superstar ✨

🎶 Johnny, Johnny, yes papa
Scoring centuries? Yes, papa
Setting records? Yes, papa
Breaking barriers? Ha ha ha 🎶

What a knock 🔥

Two decades of electrifying moments, one unforgettable debut. Celebrating 22 years of Randy Orton's iconic journey in the WWE!

Dropped from the national central contract and thundered back with an explosive reply 🔥

Marcus Stoinis you beauty 😍

What a bowler!!! 👏👏👏

🏏 Hats off to Sandeep Sharma! 🙌

For over a decade, he's been a backbone in IPL cricket. With his skill to swing the new ball and sn**ch crucial wickets, he's proven himself time and again. Yet, he remains criminally underrated and not overhyped like many others. His 100+ wickets speak volumes about his consistency and talent, with an impressive average and economy rate to boot.

Back on April 16th, 2013, Sunil Narine pulled off a hattrick in the IPL. Fast forward to April 16th, 2024, and he's scoring centuries in the IPL. Narine's batting for KKR this season has been top-notch.

Reflecting on a decade gone by, Sri Lanka's T20I triumph still gleams as a beacon of past glory, reminding us of unforgettable moments etched in cricketing history. Here's to cherishing the memories of victory forevermore! 🏏🏆

The unwanted rivalry continues...

Mathews was timed out according to the rules of the game. From my perspective, adhering to the laws doesn’t undermine the spirit of the game. However, the experienced Mathews came up with one of the most pointless celebrations, as Shakib had already secured the game for Bangladesh. At that juncture, the likelihood of winning was minimal, yet Mathews still sought revenge. Following the game, Sri Lankan players refused to shake hands with the Bangladesh players, which was unacceptable.

During the first T20I game, pacer Shoriful Islam resorted to the timed out celebration, demonstrating their unwillingness to let it go. Furthermore, after winning the series, our players once again criticized Bangladesh for the timed out celebration, displaying immaturity. Let's set aside other players, but what about Mathews? He's a legend, after all. Why does he insist on perpetuating this behavior?

Following the ODI series, Bangladesh players mocked the Sri Lankan players. What more can we expect?

The bottom line is that the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has stooped to an unacceptable level. Now, Bangladesh stands as our biggest rival in the cricket world. They have elevated their game, but our players have unnecessarily drawn attention to them.
