What an amazing day of pure, unadulterated cricket across international formats! It all began with India's emphatic chase in Christchurch, then South Africa's thumping win in PE, and finally finished with Sri Lanka's daring chase in Rawalpindi!

Bhuvneshwar Kumar last played for India in the rain-affected, truncated Napier T20I on 22-11-22, which ended in a tie. Yesterday in Bengaluru, he returned to the side after nearly 4y, while missing 104 games. But this one, too, a truncated game, as rain ensured no result! #INDvWI

Eight wickets down, Afghanistan needed to play out the last over of the match, the 142nd, to eke out a well-fought draw against Bangladesh at Abu Dhabi yesterday. However, Qais Ahmad had other ideas; he hit 2 sixes off Taijul Islam to finish with 49*! How cool is that? #AfgvBan

The only other time Team India won by over 50 balls to spare while chasing a target of 296+ was at Hobart on 28 Feb 2012, when they successfully chased Sri Lanka's 321 and won by 80 balls to spare. Virat Kohli in that game unbeaten 133 in 86 balls! #IndvWI

An historic day for Japan tomorrow at Sano, when they take on Team India in their 63rd T20I match. India will be their 24th cricketing opponent, but the first from a full-member nation! Among the top Associate teams, Japan has played Hong Kong (5), PNG (3), & Oman/Nepal/UAE (1).

DYK? At least 12000 athletes will participate in the ongoing #AsianGames in Nagoya, Japan. The 2024 Paris Summer #Olympics featured only about 10,700 athletes because the IOC enforces much stricter entry standards to manage hosting costs, venues, and village capacity!

DYK? Chasing 300+ at Galle is not easy! Only four times have FC sides made 300+ in the 4th innings here, and only once have they done so successfully! 471 - Southern Province (L) in 2004 366 - Jaffna Dist (L) in 2025 344/6 - Pakistan (W) in 2022 300 - Pakistan (L) in 2012 #IndvSL

DYK? Devdutt Padikkal's unbeaten 131 at Galle yesterday was India's first-ever Test century made on 15th August! The nearest anyone came to doing so prior to this one was Sachin Tendulkar's maiden Test 100 on 14 Aug 1990 at Manchester! #IndependenceDay 🇮🇳 #IndvSL

Today in 2015 in the Galle Test, Sri Lanka defeated India by 63 runs after conceding a deficit of 192 runs. The hosts in their 2nd inns were just ahead by 28 runs when they lost their 6th wicket. Dinesh Chandimal 162* set India a target of 176. Rangana Herath (7/48) did the rest!
