‘Wahi off-spinner wali bimari’: Memes galore after Abhishek Sharma fails yet again in T20 WC semifinal vs England

Mumbai: Abhishek Sharma's poor run in the T20 World Cup continued in the semifinal as well, as he got out after scoring only nine runs off seven deliveries. Yet again, the southpaw got out to the off-spinner Will Jacks and clearly, the pressure has built on the youngster as the tournament has progressed. His best score in the competition remains 55 against Zimbabwe when he notched up a 26-ball half-century, the second-slowest of his career so far. The Indian opener had not only got the team's backing but also the fans' support after he failed in the group stage when…

What is highest run-chase at Wankhede Stadium in T20Is after India post 253 in T20 WC semifinal vs England?

Mumbai: Indian batters wreaked havoc in the second T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final against England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Sanju Samson launched a scathing attack, powering 89 runs off 42 balls to set the momentum, as Ishan Kishan and Shivam Dube played the perfect role of a second fiddle to help India post 253 runs on the board in the first innings.

Breather for India? Iran to block only US, Israeli and European oil vessels in Strait of Hormuz

Tehran: The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran announced on Thursday that the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping route for global oil trade, is closed to vessels from the United States, Israel, Europe, and other Western allies, CNN reported.

This suggests Iran will not block Indian vessels from passing through the Strait of Hormuz. If confirmed, this development could provide significant relief for New Delhi, as several of its oil-carrying vessels have been…

Sanju Samson’s charismatic knock vs England earns standing ovation from Wankhede crowd in T20 World Cup 2026

Mumbai: After a match-winning knock of 97 runs against West Indies in the Super Eights clash, India opener Sanju Samson managed to keep up with the momentum, launching a scathing attack against England in the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final against England. Despite losing his partner Abhishek Sharma early, Samson didnโ€™t change his template as he went berserk against the Harry Brook-led side. He also had luck by his side, having been dropped by Brook when he was batting on 16. It was a straightforward catch in mid-on but the England captain juggled it before dropping it. Since then, Samson…
