Proteas Men’s remarkable form rises, series win in England after 1998

Proteas Men’s remarkable form rises, series win in England after 1998

The English skipper won the toss, but South Africa defended a five-run thriller and seized another series win — their first bilateral victory on English soil since 1998.
Decent start by Proteas openers Riyan Rickelton (35 off 33) and Aiden Markram (49 off 64), both played sensibly and added 73 runs for the opening partnership. Afterward, Matthew Breetzke continued his dream run, smashing his fifth consecutive historical fifty (85 off 77). Breetzke and Tristan Stubbs built a magnificent fourth-wicket foundation with a 147-run stand.

After Breetzke’s departure, Dewald Brevis came to the crease and rose to the occasion, opening his account with a phenomenal six over the rope. Half-centurion Tristan Stubbs looked composed with the bat, but a miscommunication led to his run-out, ending his clinical 55-run knock. Brevis then took charge, geared up the innings, and smashed 42 off just 20 balls. His harbinger hitting helped South Africa reach a massive total of 330/8.

On the other hand, England’s bowlers couldn’t stop the run flow in the death overs. Jofra Archer claimed 4 wickets, while spinner Adil Rashid delivered a fantastic spell (2/33 in 10 overs). But without support from the other end, England felt the absence of a fifth proper bowler.

While chasing the massive total, England didn’t get the start they expected. Jamie Smith fell for a golden duck, caught behind the stumps. Promising talent Jacob Bethell scored a brilliant 58 off 40, while Joe Root also made a steady fifty (61 off 72). Skipper Harry Brook and Jos Buttler tried to anchor the chase with a 69-run partnership for the fifth wicket. Buttler completed his fifty with hustling shots (61 off 51) before falling to Lungi Ngidi.
Jofra Archer’s cameo (27 off 14) stood the test of time in the chase, but England fell short by just five runs in the last over.
Man of the match : Matthew Breetzke

The Silent Warrior of No.3 – Cheteshwar Pujara Retires from International Cricket,End of an Era:

The Silent Warrior of No.3 – Cheteshwar Pujara Retires from International Cricket From a 13-year-long career span, Cheteshwar Pujara played with patience, calmness, composure, clinical precision, and an old-school classical batting style. Absorbing the pressure with his unyielding approach towards the game, he has now decided to pack his bags from International Cricket. One of the greatest No.3 batsmen for India, the man carried billions of hopes as a saviour and carried forward the legacy of Rahul Dravid’s “The Wall” in Test cricket. He served as a red-ball specialist batter in his whole career with his bottom-hand technique and nonchalant toughness. Pujara added 7,195 runs in 103 Test matches with an average of 43.60, where he hammered 19 relentless tons and 35 noteworthy half-centuries. Meanwhile, he faced 16,217 balls in his career which clearly shows his temperament and approach in the Test format. With his customary shots and typical dogged batting style, ...

  Sir Ravindra, the silent assassin - Jadeja! On 24th May, when the BCCI officials announced the Indian squad for England 2025, everyone on social media was creating a buzz and raising a question mark on veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja's selection for the Test team, and also making stuff, creating memes that Rohit, Virat, and Ashwin are retired and now it's Jadeja's turn due to his ageing. 36-year-old young Sir Jadeja! Always the silent assassin with his contribution towards the nation. No PR! No drama! No controversies! No reaction to criticism! No unnecessary aggression! One and only dedication toward his game. Moreover, he never gave statements with words, he always proved his worth with bat, ball, and most importantly, his rocket arm. In the ongoing 'Tendulkar - Anderson Trophy' in England, Sir Ravindra Jadeja is invariably on the mark at every tense stage. When nothing goes right for India, everyone takes a deep breath an...
