The new Champion..opening up of a new dimension.

In World Test Cricket Championship there emerges a new team South Africa. 

The team has been built for years after they came back on the International arena post settling all apartheid issues in 1991 wherein the World could witness some great players battling out in the Cricket field.  🏏 

The immense talent the team displayed with their bonding and friendly spirit brought a new dimension in the game, leaving aside the issues of race and ethnicity. South Africa has produced some great Cricketers before and after 1991 and it was left to the judgement of the Cricket lovers to appreciate and accept their talent. While building up such an unit of dedicated Cricketers the performance grew and reached the highest level of achievements but the lady luck never smiled on them to break the barriers of semi finals or finals where they can rule the sporting World of Cricket.

This team with a very simple Captain who by his appearance never looked aggressive, with his short height always encircled by his tall teammates showed his real character today by winning the most coveted trophy in the Cricketing Arena after being declared the winners of World Test Championship. 

Bavuma the gutsy little player, who has been scoring consistently over the last couple of years once again proved to be the Captain leading from the front. In this test match he tried to hold one end in the first innings scoring 36 runs when wickets were falling one by one, ensuring that he delivers as a Captain to restrict Australia in their second innings with correct Captaincy and again scoring a 66 runs in the second innings of South Africa. 

The Captain ensured his front line bowlers were effective by using the conditions with Rabada standing out with nine wickets, Aiden Markram the player of the match scoring match winning 136 runs, chipping in with a wicket each in both the innings, and he (Bavuma) himself though injured in the second innings continued with grit and determination to build up the big match winning 147 runs partnership which sealed the match in favour of South Africa. 

Not standing tall physically amongst his teammates, not being so stout and strong matching few of his players, but ultimately Bavuma, the Captain cool came out as the man with strong stature, taller than his mates not physically but through his never giving up character which is the order of the day.

Salute to Team South Africa who now are free from the tag line of  "being chokers", and now ready win other major trophies of  Cricket World Cups in future.🏏

Happy for them as they are rated as one of the best disciplined team in all formats of the game.....❤️

Good Luck South Africa 🇿🇦, may this win bring all hearts closer, all souls merging into one, brotherhood taking the upper seat and the Unity amongst the Citizen of South Africa reaching the new height.🙏

India vs England : 1st Test Match at Leeds, Day One..

  India vs England : 1 st Test Match at Leeds Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy   Day One : The much awaited test match between India and England started today 20 th June 2025 at Leeds, England. It is sunny here at Leeds and Ben Stokes the England Captain after winning the toss decided to bowl. With much drier weather as compared to English conditions and sunny morning it is now debatable whether it was good toss to win. India took full advantage of the conditions with the new set up of eleven boys without their Masters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had lot to prove for themselves, and the day started on a bright note. Both the openers Yashasvi and KL Rahul started the innings cautiously with mind set to play session by session particularly when they were sent to bat first by their opponents. English bowlers rarely had any impact on them and the idea to bowl first thereby using the wicket to get additional bounce and swing in the first hour was negated by both the openers. ...

India vs England : 1 st  Test Match at Leeds Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy   Day Five : After four days of scintillating Cricket it was all for the fifth day for the decider.  Ultimately it was England the winners with their disciplined and never giving up approach till the final moments. On the other hand Indian team on 5th day were clueless at times, Captain unable to rotate the bowlers with proper field setting. The bowlers also missed their line and length except for first few overs on the 5th day. Saga of fielding lapses, dropped catches continued from 1st innings of England and also on the 5th day. Yashasvi Jaiswal was the biggest culprit who dropped four catches in both the innings. Indian bowling unit took 5 wickets in the 2nd innings however the bite and attack was missing in the body language of the Indian team as was also missing in their bowling arms. Much before the match ended and post tea session, the casual approach of few players on the field was surprising. ...

India vs England 1st Test Match, Leeds: Day two.

  India vs England : 1 st  Test Match at Leeds Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Day two : Fascinating day of Cricket with highs and lows, ups and downs and momentum swinging either way. It was an eventful sunny morning rainy afternoon;  the day had witnessed a record created for the first time in 148 years of test cricket with both Captain and Vice Captain scoring centuries on their debut in their respective roles.  The other interesting highlights were England bowlers coming back to bowl a disciplined line thereby resulting in seven wickets falling for 41 runs,  acrobatics of Pant after he scores century and his iconic tumbling shot over the fine leg, Bumrah bowling his heart out and England batters defending the big score in front of them were the talking points of the 2nd day’s play. The day started under watchful eyes of Gill and Pant with plans to score as many runs on 2nd day. Both continued to score at ease with Pant going after the bowlers and scoring at will. ...
