Motera Massacre: T20 Bleeds Blue A Bumrah masterclass and a Samson spectacle turns the Motera T20 final into a defining chapter in India's rising dominance in cricket

Judging past novels and authors on current sensibilities is a tough one. 50-years hence there will be so many things that they won’t accept which are “normal” today. My approach to books is to accept language and descriptions in the context of the time the author wrote and enjoy the writing & plot.

If Old Trafford was SCG, can India make Oval its new Gabba? As ENGvIND 2025 moves to a final showdown, the series is poised for a finish as entertaining as AUSvIND 2021

In 2021 in Australia India saved the Sydney Test then conquered the Gabba. Will the script repeat with Oval following Old Trafford ? I also revisit the drama at the end at Manchester. #INDvENG
