"The Gentleman's Blade"

Image
The Gentleman's Blade For Kane Williamson In whites, in blues, in fiery black, With willow calm, he takes attack. Be it five days or just twenty overs, He plays the game like silent thunder. A poet’s touch, a thinker’s pace, Across all formats, he brings grace. He stands apart in this great sport, A man of class, of quiet sort. And though the world may shout and cheer, He lets his silence draw them near. His blade, a brush, his shots, like a art, He plays the field with patient heart. No flash, no rage, no need to boast, Yet often he delivers most. He’s the player none can bring to spite, The calmest soul beneath the light. No borders hold the love he's earned, From every fan, respect is returned. A true gentleman, pure and wide, With grace that cuts through every side. I’ve long admired Dhoni's reign, The calm, the mind, the fire restrained. But after him, it's Kane I see, Reflecting all I wish to be. In Kane I find that same pure thread, A leader, calm in wha...

Image
  Decoding Dhoni: How the Cricket Legend Redefined the Art of Finishing One of the most successful Indian captains, M.S Dhoni, is the only captain to have triumphed in every one of the three ICC white ball tournaments: the ICC Champions Trophy, the ICC T20 World Cup, and the ICC ODI World Cup. M.S Dhoni was not only a fantastic captain but also among the greatest finishers in the history of the game.   Take a look at these five occasions where MS Dhoni demonstrated why he is among the greatest finishers in white ball history.                                                  5.  72*(46) vs Pakistan, Lahore (2006) Pakistan elected to bat first, and with the help of Shoaib Malik's outstanding century, amassed an overwhelming 288 in their 50 overs.

Mayank Yadav : New sensation in the world of pace

Mayank Yadav: The new sensation in the world of pace  Mayank Yadav, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) bowler, proclaimed his presence in style, with his balling busting the speed gun on his IPL debut.  The right-arm bowler not only recorded a stunning 3 for 27 in four overs against the Punjab Kings, but he also bowled the season's fastest delivery.  In addition, he performed admirably in his second encounter against RCB. He broke his personal record for the fastest ball this season, scoring 3/14 in four innings. Even though, he made history by becoming the first player to win player of the match twice in his first two IPL games. India has a great future in the batting lineup, and there is no doubt, but players like Mayank Yadav are clearing up the doubt in the bowling lineup, proving that the future of Indian bowling is as bright as the batting. The 21-year-old made his IPL debut on Saturday, March 30, 2024, against Punjab Kings. In LSG's 21-run victory, he was n...
