He left corporate life after a heart scare. But every March, Ramesh Abeywickrama returns. Not to an office, but to the Royal–Thomian Big Match, a 147-year tradition that hasn’t missed a year. A dispatch from Colombo on love, loyalty and legacy ⬇️ cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/1…

Same two teams at Eden Gardens last year...

Comms put it as "barely any empty seats" 🤦‍♂️

Spells like these make you think of all the Test cricket Eden Gardens never got to host. Only four Tests in the last decade 👀

Wow... No Varun, no Narine.

IPL 2025 was spin's toughest season yet in terms of ER, and Krunal Pandya still found a way: 17 wickets at 8.23. The back story behind that control #RCBvsCSK cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/1…

Which team is this Ahmedabad crowd really supporting?!

Read Santosh Suri - one of the OGs of bringing smaller-town cricketers' tale into mainstream media and one of the gentlest presence in a cricket press box - analysing Rishabh Pant in yesterday's MiD DAY. And read just now that Suri sir has passed away. Go well, sir! And thank you...

@T_Nagar Love both, but Chinnaswamy needs an upgrade vis-a-vis the stands and Wankhede isn't big enough for a city with twice as many people as Chennai. I feel, relatively, Chepauk has gotten most things right

@prat1204 This is not a metric but an individual point of view. Speak to most people and they will say similar things about Chinnaswamy Stadium and Wankhede.

Chepauk, by most metrics imo, is the best cricket stadium in India right now.

@T_Nagar Just the history, variety of pitches, crowd attendances, location, venue aesthetics and overall vibe to name a few. A lot of it is obviously based on my experiences of covering cricket there

@prat1204 And what are those metrics?

@prat1204 Knowledgeable too

Few things better than watching #Travishek outthink the opposition bowling plans

⚡ What is the future like for an Indian coach? ⚡ Does an Indian coach have a barrier to overcome in overseas leagues? Spoke to Hemang Badani ahead of the IPL season about this and a lot more. With inputs from @Aadya_Cricket cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/1…

@kaaakke10 Lets hope it'll be a red soil surface at least...

@prat1204 And we've a BGT match here...

Dead-rubber vibe to this match and I blame the sparse crowd

Q: Why is Green not able to bowl? Rahane: That question you need to ask Cricket Australia... 👀

@Irminatasin @IPL @cricbuzz No previews for the first match since we have the season preview. Next round onwards, you'll have your previews 🤘

Why nobody writes match previews on @IPL matches like before on @cricbuzz ? please @prat1204 write match previews like before.
