400 for the first time #OnThisDay in 2007, India smashed their first score of 400+ runs in ODIs (v Bermuda in World Cup Group Stage) Uthappa 3 Ganguly 89 Sehwag 114 Dhoni 29 Yuvraj 83 Tendulkar 57* Dravid 7* Extras 31 India 413/5

Ishan Kishan noticed Sachin Tendulkar sitting in the dressing room, quickly removed his earphones and sunglasses, and greeted him. Tendulkar acknowledged him and asked how he was doing, leaving the dressing room in laughter. 😄



Often called one of the most undignified moments in Test cricket, the clash between Dennis Lillee and Javed Miandad at Perth The incident began when Miandad took a simple single and collided with Lillee while running. Most eyewitnesses felt Lillee had stepped into his path on purpose. However, both players told very different stories later, Miandad said he was blocked and pushed, while Lillee claimed Miandad abused him, with no physical contact. Things escalated quickly. Lillee alleged that Miandad hit him from behind with his bat, while Miandad insisted Lillee kicked him. What’s certain is that Lillee turned to confront him, and Miandad responded by raising his bat as if to strike, turning it into one of cricket’s most infamous on-field confrontations.


Remember John Dyson? You won’t see many better catches than this.




“When we were growing up, we used to watch Sachin (Tendulkar) bat, he was like God to all of us. He had that aura around him.” ~ MS Dhoni
