As of now, the IPL has witnessed a lot of foreign players lead teams and out of them, a few have managed to win the trophy also. Take a look at the list of foreign players who have won the IPL title as skipper.

In the Indian Premier League (IPL), captains play a pivotal role in shaping their team’s success, not only through strategic decisions but also with their contributions with the bat. Over the years, several legendary leaders have stood out, not just for their captaincy but for their match-winning performances with the bat. Here’s a list of the top captains with the most runs in IPL victories:  

Ramdin, who played 71 Tests, 139 ODIs and 74 T20Is, feels that the role of keepers have evolved over the years since Adam Gilchrist came into prominence.

The 2025 season of the IPL is taking place from March 22 and ahead of the much-awaited tournament, take a look at the list of batters who have scored the fastest hundred in the cash-rich league's history.

The former Sri Lanka batter Kumar Sangakkara holds the second spot as he smashed 320 runs from 7 matches of ICC events’ finals.

Former Pakistan legendary batter Saeed Anwar smashed 8156 runs in 220 innings in the ODI format. The legendary left-hander was known for his impeccable timing and was a crucial member of Pakistan’s batting lineup in the 90s and early 2000s.

Smith ended the first day of the Galle Test unbeaten at 104* in 188 balls, with 10 fours and a six, involved in a 195-run partnership with Usman Khawaja (147* in 210 balls, with 10 fours and a six).

Head has been in scintillating form as he collected 2,260 runs in 32 matches (53 innings) at an average of 45.20 and a strike rate of 79.68.

After suffering a crushing defeat in the first Test in Perth, Australia bounced back in style with a dominant win in the pink-ball Test with captain Pat Cummins playing a key role.   

Ahead of the start of the second Test in Adelaide, the former keeper-batter Adam Gilchrist has offered valuable advice to the Australian batters.   

Sehwag's remark undoubtedly stems from the financial prowess of Indian cricket, with the Indian Premier League (IPL) being the undisputed king of T20 tournaments globally.

An explosive century by Travis Head and a half-century by Heinrich Klaasen were the highlights as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) posted 287/3, the highest total of the Indian Premier League (IPL) history in their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Bengaluru on Monday.

India will play Australia in the final of 2023 ODI World Cup on November 19 in Ahmedabad. Plenty of stars will take part in the summit clash from two teams including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Pat Cummins, David Warner. It will be interesting to see who gets the Man of the Match awards. On that note, take a look at all the Man of the Match awardees in the history of the Cricket World Cups. 

The hosts currently top the points table with a flawless record of eight wins in eight matches. Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, India has displayed excellence in all aspects of the game.

Test cricket is called by its name for a reason. The longest format of the game brings out the best of every cricketer who steps on the field for a five or four-day action-packed duel with his opponent. In this collection of pictures, we will take you through some of the wicket-keeper batters who scored massive amounts of runs for their nations.

The decision to send Virat Kohli instead of regular opener KL Rahul, who is also discharging the role of the wicketkeeper as Rishabh Pant has been rested for the ODIs, surprised many including former Pakistan captain Salman Butt.

On Babar Azam, the legendary cricketer said, "His versatility across all formats, but also when it's getting down to T20 cricket, just across all conditions, I think he can play all conditions really well."

The Australian great Adam Gilchrist put India’s star Hardik Pandya at the number three and described the all-rounder as an ‘awesome figure’.
