Rohit Sharma is one of the starters, and Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad are both in good form right now. Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson have been chosen as wicketkeepers, and Hardik Pandya is going to be the vice-captain. Among spinners, there’s Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal and Axar Patel.

Between 2004 and 2018, Lasith Malinga participated in six Asia Cup tournaments, winning 33 wickets in 15 games with a remarkable economy of 4.70 and an average of 18.84. In the history of the event, he amassed two four-wicket hauls and three five-wicket hauls. In both the 2010 and 2014 Asia Cups, the deadly right-arm fast bowler recorded the most wickets. The top fast bowler of the 2014 Asia Cup in Bangladesh grabbed 11 wickets in four matches, compared to the Sri Lankan pacer’s nine wickets in three matches at the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka in 2010.
Muthiah Muralidaran
With the Sri Lankan national cricket team in 2004 and 2014, Malinga won the Asia Cup twice. Muthiah Muralidaran, a different Sri Lankan icon, is second on the list of players with the most Asia Cup wickets. Muralidaran, who is regarded as one of the best bowlers in cricket history, took 30 wickets in 24 games during the Asia Cup competitions, with an economy of 3.75 and an average of 28.83. He only ever had one four-wicket and one five-wicket haul.
Ajantha Mendis
Muralidaran was a member of the 1997, 2004, and 2008 Sri Lankan teams that won the Asia Cup. Ajantha Mendis, a former mystery spinner for Sri Lanka, is third on the list. Mendis took 26 wickets between 2008 and 2014 in just eight Asia Cup games, with an economy of 3.98 and an average of 10.42. In Asia Cup history, he took two four-wicket hauls and as many five-wicket hauls.
Shakib Al Hasan
In 2008 and 2014, Mendis led Sri Lanka to Asia Cup victories. He had the most wickets taken at the 2008 tournament, with 17 in just five matches for an 8.52 average and a 3.45 economy. He was also a key contributor to Sri Lanka’s victorious 2014 campaign, taking nine wickets in three games at an economy rate of 4.84. The top five list is completed by Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and Pakistan cricketer Saeed Ajmal.
Shakib Al Hasan
Between 2008 and 2014, former Pakistani off-spinner Ajmal got 25 wickets in 12 games. He was a member of Pakistan’s 2012 Asia Cup-winning team. Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh holds the Asia Cup record for most career wickets among active players. Between 2010 and 2018, the left-arm spinner claimed 24 wickets in 18 games.
Ravindra Jadeja
The Indian player with the most wickets in Asia Cup history is Ravindra Jadeja. In 18 Asia Cup games, the outstanding all-rounder has taken 22 wickets at an economy rate of 4.56, including two four-wicket hauls.
Runs by Teams and Individuals in Asia Cup: The ACC Asia Cup is the only cricket tournament held on a continental scale and is a limited-overs cup competition. As more Asian countries gained popularity, the Asia Cup’s structure underwent various adjustments from its original two-year schedule. The Asia Cup’s first two competitions, in 1984 and 1986, featured matches between only India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
The first-ever Asia Cup in the T20 format was held in 2016
Bangladesh made their debut in the competition in 1986, and six teams competed in the 2004 edition. One Day International (ODI) matches were contested in each of the first 12 editions. It was announced in 2016 that the event’s format will alternate between ODIs and Twenty20.
In 2016, the first-ever Asia Cup in the T20 format was held. India narrowly trounced Bangladesh in their own country by eight wickets. In the history of the Asia Cup for cricket, India has had the most success. They are the reigning champions after winning the first competition in 1984. Seven times in total (six ODI and one T20I), the Indian cricket team has won the continental title.
Asia Cup records:
Most Runs in Asia Cup
1. Sanath Jayasuriya
Sanath Jayasuriya, a former batsman for Sri Lanka and legend, is ranked as the top batsman on the list. From 1990 to 2008, The Little Dynamite represented Sri Lanka in international cricket. There hasn’t been a batsman who has dominated the Asia Cup more than Jayasuriya.
The Sri Lankan participated in 25 games and amassed a staggering 1220 runs at an average of 53.04 and a strike rate of 102.52 throughout that time. Along this, Jayasuriya made three half centuries and nine centuries.
2. Kumar Sangakara
Did you anticipate an Indian? I’m sorry to disappoint you, but Kumar Sangakkara, another Sri Lankan, is next on the list. The former Lankan vice-captain and wicket-keeper batsman had a significant influence on the Asia Cup. Sangakkara, also referred to as Sanga, participated in 24 matches in the competition, recording 1075 runs at an average of 48.86 and an 84.51 strike rate.
During this competition, Sanga recorded 8 half centuries and 4 centuries.
3. Sachin Tendulkar
Was the name you were looking for this one? Well, it’s here at last! No other than Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is third on the record of most runs scored in the Asia Cup. Between 2000 and 2018, the Indian Master Blaster, widely regarded as the best batsman of all time, participated in 21 Asia Cup games. Tendulkar amassed 971 runs with an 85.47 strike rate and an average of 51.10.
During this time, Sachin led India in scoring in all formats with 7 half centuries and 2 centuries.

Cricket Records Held by Indians: Cricket is a religion in India, and wherever they go around the world, Indian cricketers are respected by their loyal fans.
Legends like Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and the current Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have come and gone over the years. These cricket players have broken several world records, and here are 15 of India’s world records.
Here are the most amazing and hard to break records set by Indian cricketers
1. Most Sixes to Finish a Game Off
MS Dhoni is a cricketer who is known for his big hits and, most importantly, his ability to finish games. When he combines two of these things, he makes a record that is all his own. Dhoni holds the record for finishing the most games with sixes. During his career with India, he did this nine times.
2. Most Centuries in International Cricket
Sachin Tendulkar’s record is one that Indians love to talk about. The famous Indian batsman holds the record for the most hundreds, having done it 100 times in all types of games.
3. First-century in First Innings
KL Rahul is the only batsman who has ever made a century in his first innings in both ODIs and Tests. He holds the record for this.
4. Hat-trick in the First Over
Irfan Pathan, an Indian fast bowler, was the first player to get a hat-trick in the first over of a test match. This is a record that he can be proud of.
5. Fastest to 200 Wickets
Ravichandran Ashwin became the fastest bowler to get 200 wickets when he did it in just 10291 balls, which was less than anyone else.
6. Most Runs as Opener
Virender Sehwag, an aggressive batsman from India, became the first player to score 7,500 runs as an opening batsman in ODIs.
7. Triple-double
Sehwag is also the only player to ever score a triple-century in a Test match and a double-century in an ODI.
8. Captain with the most hats
MS Dhoni is also the most-capped captain in cricket history, with 331 games under his belt. He reached this milestone in 2016.
9. Most balls thrown at
Rahul Dravid, who is known as “India’s Wall,” is the only batsman in Test history to have faced more than 30,000 balls. He faced a total of 31258 balls during his career.
10. First to get a Ton
Shikhar Dhawan holds the record for scoring a hundred in his first Test match. He did this in just 85 balls, which is the fastest time ever.
11. Most stumping’s
Dhoni has 190 stumping’s, which is more than anyone else. He broke Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara’s record at 139.
12. First three innings bring in three hundred
Mohd. Azharuddin holds the record for being the only batsman to score three centuries in his first three Test innings.
13. Two Centuries in One Week
Vijay Hazare was the only batsman to score a century on both Day 3 and Day 4. He did this on both days.
14. Most Overs in a Test Match
Sachin Tendulkar is the only batsman in cricket history to have played in more than 300 innings.
15. Most Test Caught
Rahul Dravid is also known for having caught the most balls in Test history, with a total of 210.
Cricket Records Impossible to Break: Don Brandman, an Australian cricket legend, has a 99.94 batting average over the course of his Test cricket career. This is surely the most unbelievable record in the history of cricket. Sachin Tendulkar, a big name in Indian cricket, has scored 100 centuries, and Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan has taken 800 wickets in his career. Both of these records belong on the list of the most unbeatable in cricket.
Unbeatable cricket records in all format of cricket
10. Jack Hobbs Runs and Centuries in 1st Class
At number 10 on the list of Unbeatable Cricket Records, Jack Hobbs’ batting stats in First-Class cricket are just mind-boggling. In his First-Class career, Jack Hobbs got 61,237 runs, including 197 centuries.
Jack Hobbs was over 50 when he played First-Class cricket. His career numbers are now so high that it seems like no one can beat them. I think that his runs and centuries in First-Class cricket are the 10 best records that can’t be broken.
9. Don Bradman 974 Runs in a Test Series
Wally Hammond must have been proud of himself when he scored 905 runs on the 1928-29 Australian tour, which is the next record that can’t be broken. In the next Ashes Series, which was played in England, one of the best batsmen, Don Bradman, beat that record by scoring 974 runs over the course of five games.
His scores at Trent Bridge were 8 and 131, at Lord’s they were 254 and 1, at Headingley they were 334, in Manchester they were 14, and at the Oval they were 232. Vivian Richards scored 829 runs against the same opponent in 1976, which was the closest anyone has come to breaking Bradman’s record.
8. Phil Simmons’ Economy Rate in an ODI
In a one-day international, if you bowl for ten overs, a good performance is when you give up fewer than four runs per over, or less than 40 runs total.
Look at Phil Simmons. In a 1992 one-day international match against Pakistan, he only gave away three runs, or 0.3 runs per over. Now, ODIs are much more focused on offence, so Simmons’ record is unlikely to be broken.
7. Graham Gooch’s 456 Runs in a Test Match
At the Lords, the former English captain hit 333 runs in the first innings against India. In the second inning, he hit 123 runs quickly on 113 balls. In this match, he got 456 runs, which had never been done before and seems like an impossible record to beat.
Even though one of the best left-handed batsmen, Brian Lara, later got 400 runs against England, Gooch’s record hasn’t been broken yet.
6. Chaminda Vaas’ Bowling Figures in ODIs
Chaminda Vaas took 8 wickets for 19 runs against Zimbabwe. Only bowler in ODI history to take 8 wickets. Given the batsman-centric structure of ODIs, more than eight wickets would be miraculous.
This spell is among the finest in ODI history. With this spell, he joined the pantheon of great fast bowlers.
5. Australia’s Consecutive Test Wins
Australia won 16 straight Test matches twice, once under Steve Waugh from 1999 to 2001 and again under Ricky Ponting from 2005 to 2008.
They did it during their “Golden Years,” when McGrath, Shen Warne, and Jason Gillespie were part of their bowling attack and Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting, Matthew Hayden, and Adam Gilchrist were part of their batting line-up.
4. Jim Laker’s Test Match Bowling Figures
In 1956, the English off-spinner Jim Laker took 19 wickets for 90 runs against Australia at Old Trafford. He missed only one of the 20 wickets he was going for. He got rid of 10 batsmen in the first innings and 9 in the second. Anil Kumble has taken 10 wickets in a Test innings before, and he did it again in 1999 against Pakistan. But 19 wickets in a match?
We probably won’t ever see it again. Also, this spell had one of the best bowling figures ever in a test match.
3. Muttiah Muralitharan’s International Wickets
Murali was 20 when he first bowled for Sri Lanka. Soon confused batsmen worldwide.
He has 800 Test wickets, 534 ODI wickets, and 13 T20I wickets. Unbeatable with 1347 international wickets.
2. Tendulkar’s International Matches, Runs, and Centuries
Sachin Tendulkar’s batting records are mountainous. He’s scored 15,837 runs in 198 test matches and 18,426 in 463 ODIs.
His 34,273 international runs are unlikely to be surpassed. He was also the greatest cricketer ever.
1. Don Bradman’s Test Career Batting Average
Don Bradman, or ‘The Don,’ averaged 99.94 in 80 Test cricket innings. The next Test batter averaged just over 60. These figures suggest that Bradman is one of the game’s top batsmen.
Bradman’s 99.94 Test average is a shorthand for his talent. His 95.14 first-class average won’t be topped either.
Upcoming T20 Leagues Schedule: Professional T20 leagues have become very famous all over the world, which has completely changed the game of cricket. These leagues play a fast-paced, exciting form of the game that draws both players and fans. With its star-studded teams and high-profile auctions, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is the most prestigious and successful. Because of how famous it is, leagues like it have started up all over the world. The Big Bash League (BBL) in Australia and the T20 Blast in England are also well-known for their tough cricket and passionate fans.
Also, the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) shows how exciting cricket is in the West Indies, while the Pakistan Super League (PSL) draws people in with its fast-paced games. The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the Global T20 Canada, and the Mzansi Super League in South Africa are also well-known leagues. These leagues give players a chance to show off their skills, make international cricket battles stronger, and give cricket fans all over the world an exciting cricket experience.

T20 Blast (England and Whales)
The T20 Blast is a professional Twenty20 cricket tournament for counties in England and Wales with the highest level of cricket. Because of a marketing deal, it is now called the Vitality Blast.

Adelaide Oval and Kennington Oval Records: The Adelaide Oval Cricket Ground opened in 1871. It was built so that the South Australian Cricket Association could start up. Adelaide is a sports venue in Adelaide, South Australia. It is in the parklands between the city center and North Adelaide. Most of the time, cricket and Aussie rules football are played there. Still, it has also been the site of rugby league, rugby union, soccer, tennis and other sports, as well as regular events. The Adelaide Stadium Management Authority (AOSMA) is in charge of running the stadium.
In 1884, England and Australia played their first Test match there. The Adelaide Oval was one of the first stadiums to have a picket fence around it. This was done in the year 1900. In a way, Adelaide’s qualities have been a revelation for cricket grounds, where they have slowly grown. The builder Kenneth Milne made the scoreboard at Adelaide. On December 6, 1977, South Africa and New Zealand played the first game under lights. In 1912, a clock was added, and in the 1930s, a wind vane was put up. Finally, in 1997, floodlights were put up so that the sport could be played at night. The Body Line Debate of 1932–1933 is well-known in Adelaide.
Capacity of the Adelaide Oval Stadium
After a major renovation that was finished in 2013, the stadium can now hold 53,500 people. This has made it even more popular for holding top-level events. In November 2015, Australia and New Zealand played the first ever day-night Test in Adelaide.
Length of Adelaide Oval’s boundaries
The Adelaide Cricket Ground, like the other grounds in Australia, has long lines around it. The Straight lines are more than 68 meters long, and the Square lines are more than 65 meters long.
Adelaide Stadium Building Cost
In 2013, a lot of work was done to the South Australia Cricket Head Quarter, which drove up the cost of the stadium to $535 million.
Area of Adelaide Stadium
Adelaide Oval is the biggest venue in South Australia. It is mostly used for AFL and Cricket games. It is 167m long and 124m wide.
Details about Adelaide Oval’s pitch
The wicket at Adelaide is a pretty good mix for both bowlers and batters. Early on, the fast bowlers get some movement from the pitch, and the spinners come into play in the middle of the game. After the first few overs, the batter can play their hits with ease. Here, the average score in the first inning is 181, which is pretty good. Because the stadium’s borders are so big, the pacers can use their different styles to make it hard for the batters to hit the ball.

Adelaide Oval and Kennington Oval Records
Kennington Oval Overview and History
The Oval, which is now called the Kia Oval because of a sponsorship deal, is a famous cricket ground in Kennington, which is in the Lambeth borough of south London. Since it opened in 1845, the Oval has been the home of Surrey County Cricket Club. In September 1880, it was the first place in England to host an international Test match. It is where the last Test match of the English season is always played.
The Oval has been the site of a number of other historically important sports events besides cricket. In 1870, it was the site of the first international football game between England and Scotland. It was the place where the FA Cup finals were held from 1872 to 1892. In 1876, it was the site of rugby matches between England and Wales and England and Scotland. In 1877, it was the site of rugby’s first college match. It was also the place where the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy final took place.
History of Oval:
The Kia Oval’s Beginnings
Then, in 1844, the Duchy of Cornwall rented the land so that the market garden could be turned into a place where people could pay to play cricket. The Surrey County Cricket Club started in 1845. Turf was brought in from Tooting Common.
Aboriginal cricket tour to England in 1868
In 1868, 20,000 people went to The Oval to watch the first game of the Aboriginal cricket team’s tour of England. This was the first time that any cricket team had been on a tour of England.
The Ashes
In 1882, the Sporting Times wrote a death notice for English Cricket. It said, “In 1880, England and Australia played the first Test match in England at The Oval. Australia won the Test by seven runs in 1882. It took them two days to do this. The Sporting Times made fun of death notices by saying that English cricket had died at The Oval and that the ashes would be taken to Australia. Ivo Bligh, the English captain at the time, had promised to “recover those ashes,” so the tour was quickly called “the quest to recover the ashes”.
After winning two of the three Test matches on the tour, Bligh was given a small box that was said to contain the ashes of a wooden cricket bail. These ashes were called “the ashes of Australian cricket.” So, the Ashes prize was made, and England and Australia still play for it with a lot of passion about once every two years.
Sporting Firsts in General
The KIA Oval has seen many “firsts” in world sports that have nothing to do with cricket. In 1870, England and Scotland played the first-ever international football game in England at the Oval. Two years later, the Wanderers and the Engineers played in the first-ever FA Cup Final at the Oval. It was a 1–0 win for the Wanderers. In the same year, England and Scotland played the first international Rugby Union game at The Oval.
Recent History:
The Kia Oval is known as one of the most important places for cricket in the world. Some of the best cricket players have played at the top level of their sport there. On September 7, 1973, England and West Indies played the first One Day International cricket match at The Oval in the 20th century. The Oval has also been the site of Cricket World Cup games in 1975, 1979, 1983, and 1999. The opening match of the 2019 Cricket World Cup, in which England beat South Africa by 104 runs, was held at the Oval. The Oval cricket ground also used to be the largest Test venue in the world in terms of playing size. Even though Gaddafi Stadium in Pakistan has since broken that record. It is still the biggest in Great Britain, though.
In recent years, the final of the 2005 Ashes, which many people consider to be the best series ever played, took place at the Kia Oval. England also won the Ashes in 2009, 2013, and 2015. This year’s cricket should be just as exciting. The Vitality Blast Twenty20 event and the fifth and final test of the Ashes 2019 Series will be held at the KIA Oval, and we can’t wait! Keith Prowse is the official hospitality provider for the KIA Oval, so you can expect a once-in-a-lifetime event with great cricket and luxury hospitality. So, don’t miss out! Book your 2019 Ashes luxury package right now to see the best cricket at the famous Kia Oval.
Suspended meaning: Cricket is played outside, and there are times when it could be dangerous to play a game for different reasons. When this happens, the judges must “suspend” the game until the weather gets better. Cricket games can be stopped at any time for reasons like medical emergencies, bad weather, or other things outside of their control.
When the weather or other conditions aren’t ideal, letting the game go on could give one team an edge over the other or even put the players’ safety at risk. Suspending the game is the safest and sometimes smartest thing to do. The game can always, of course, start back up where it left off, no matter what is going on. This rule of suspension is used to make sure that the game is fair and that neither team has an unfair edge. All of these things must be taken into account while making sure that all players are safe.
Laws of Cricket:
Welcome to The Cricket Lounge’s “Laws of Cricket” series, where we’ll talk about some of cricket’s most interesting but less well-known rules. We started this series to teach cricket fans more about the rules of the game and to help them understand the less well-known rules that keep the game together.
We’ll take a close look at Law 2.8, which says that play can be stopped in dangerous or unfair situations.
In cricket, what is in suspension?
Why a cricket match might be put on hold
Heavy rain, strong winds, lightning, or very high temperatures can all cause a match to be stopped because they make it dangerous to play.
A match can also be stopped because the players can’t see the ball. To play safely and well, they need to be able to see the ball.
A match can also be stopped if the pitch is in bad shape and dangerous. If the pitch is too slippery, uneven, or dangerous in some other way, the game must be stopped until the pitch is safe to play on again.
If one team doesn’t have enough players to form a team. The match may have to be put on hold until the team has enough players.
Cricket games can also be stopped for odd reasons, like if an animal like a snake or a bird gets on the field.
Not only can games be stopped, but so can competitions. The Covid-19 pandemic had a big effect on sports. Many tournaments had to be canceled to keep players, fans, and the business safe from the virus.
In addition to safety worries, there were also problems with the way things were set up. With restrictions on travel, it was hard for teams to get to tournaments and participate. Also, tournaments were hard to put on because venues were closed.
In the end, cricket games can be stopped for a number of strange reasons. Cricket games can be stopped at any time, whether because of an accident or a medical emergency.
Cricket player suspension:
Cricket is known as a sport for “gentlemen.” It requires skill and planning, and players have to follow a certain set of rules. When players break the code of conduct, they can be banned for a certain number of games, months, or even years, based on what they did wrong and how bad it was. In cricket, the most common reasons for a player to be suspended are bad manners, match-fixing or other forms of corruption. And the illegal use of drugs or substances that boost performance.
Bad sportsmanship includes things like arguing with officials or other players or trying to mess up the game on purpose. Most of the time, these actions can get you suspended. Because they aren’t sportsmanlike and make the environment hostile or scary. In match-fixing and other types of corruption, players are paid or given gifts to change the result of a game. So that the game stays fair, players who fix matches or get involved in cheating may be suspended or even kicked out of the sport for good. Players can be kicked out of cricket for many different reasons. These bans are meant to protect the integrity of the game. Make sure everyone plays fairly, and keep players healthy and safe.
