The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 Generated $1.39 Billion Economic Impact
Move over Bollywood – the real blockbuster of 2023 was the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and it didn’t just break hearts, it broke the bank too! India Cashes In On Cricket Fever A mind boggling USD 1.39 billion-that’s Rs 11,637 crore-was the economic impact of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 held across India last October-November, according to a Nielsen report commissioned by the ICC. Yes, folks, cricket isn’t just a game here – it’s an economy! Tourism Scores Big It so happened that the real MVPs weren’t just Virat Kohli or Steve Smith but the tourism. As high as $861.4 million was raked in through hotels, restaurants, and travel services. Be it a street-side ‘chai’ establishment or a buffet at a 5-star hotel, the cricket action spilled over into every other business, feeding everyone a slice of the money pie. Who needs the Taj Mahal when one gets a match at the Wankhede Stadium? This translated to nearly 1.25 million spectators in the stadiums, 75% of whom watched an ICC 50-over game for the very first time. It just seems like cricket turns casual viewers into ardent fans-or at least into experts in stadium snacks! Tourists or Superfans? Why Not Both! This also gave India’s international tourism a fillip: 19% of international visitors came onto Indian soil for the first time, simply because they love cricket! As many as 68% of them are ready to shout from the rooftops-or at least Instagram-that India is a must-visit spot. Jobs Galore – Cricket’s Economic Sixer The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 wasn’t all about swanky cricket kits, nor was it: over 48,000 jobs it created. From installing stadiums to serving dosas, cricket set many hands to work. So, the next time someone says that watching sports doesn’t pay off, show them the receipts-this cricket fest actually brought the goods! Australia’s Party Crasher Moment In the end, Australia might have taken the World Cup home and broken India’s unbeaten run, however the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 left India winning big-not just in passion, but in cold, hard cash!

Yash Dayal’s Maiden Test Match Call-Up After 5 Sixes Nightmare
Imagine being the guy whose name resonates with school buses, not in cheers, but rather in taunts. Such was life for nearly a year for Yash Dayal after Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) Rinku Singh smashed him for five consecutive sixes in an IPL 2023 game where Dayal was representing the Gujrat Titans (GT). His quiet neighborhood in Allahabad had a new anthem overnight: “Rinkuuuuu Singh, Rinkuuu Singh, five sixes, five sixes!” His father, Chanderpal Dayal, too, stopped going outdoors, lest he became the subject of lots of fun and ridicule. His mother, Radha, stopped eating altogether, trying to understand why her son wasn’t saying a word. Family Power-Up Mode Activated! While most would’ve crumbled, Yash Dayal’s family went full “motivational speaker” on him. His father cited Stuart Broad, who bounced back after being smashed for six sixes by Yuvraj Singh and explained to Yash that he soon is going to represent India. Yash Dayal went into overdrive-changing from “the guy who got hit for five sixes” to “the guy taking wickets for fun.“ RCB to the Rescue Released by the Gujarat Titans, Yash Dayal found a new home in Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as IPL 2024 came around. Boy, did he deliver! With 15 wickets in 14 matches, Dayal wasn’t the punchline anymore; he was one of the main guys who took RCB into the playoffs and showed them that he was made of sterner stuff. Redemption Arc: Duleep Trophy Edition The ultimate revenge of Yash Dayal was not some viral social media post but a spell of fire in the Duleep Trophy 2024, in which he knocked over Mayank Agarwal and Riyan Parag in a jiffy. The selectors could no longer look the other way-the call-up came for the India Test squad for the Bangladesh series beginning on September 19, 2024. From Taunts to Triumph It has been a fairytale-like ride from five-sixes humiliation to Test cricket glory for Yash’s family. A chance to make his test match debut, Yash Dayal’s story is about how the best comebacks always happen after the toughest blows-or, in this case, five massive sixes.

With these two heavyweights being thrown into the mix, things just got a lot more interesting. Pant’s Road to Redemption Remember that heart-stopping car accident which sent Rishabh Pant into exile? Well, he is back with a bang! Making his Test comeback after almost a year, Pant is fresh off a solid half-century for India B in the Duleep Trophy and has got redemption on his mind; Bangladesh might just be the perfect playground for his return to form. Yash Dayal is the new kid on the block. The left-arm pacer among the squad headlines for a Test call-up for the very first time! Big moment to say the least, while Pant and Rahul steal the spotlight; Dayal gets his chance to make a name for himself on the grand stage. Shami Sits Out, Akash Steps In While the experienced pacer Mohammed Shami is still recovering from Achilles surgery, Akash Deep replaces him, having shaken up England’s lineup with nine wickets on his debut. He will surely be hoping to work a little magic again against Bangladesh. Bangladesh’s Wave of Victory By the way, Bangladesh are not arriving in India on a whimper, but on a clean sweep of Pakistan 2-0 at home for the first time. This is going to be one fiery series. Team India Squad For Test Matches vs Bangladesh Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd.

Jay Shah Elected as New ICC Chairman, Set to Usher in a New Era for Cricket
The 35-year-old Jay Shah created history when he was elected as the youngest chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary is all set to take over as the new ICC Chairman, starting from December 1, after Greg Barclay. Shah will have a three-year term but is allowed to extend his tenure for another three years. Unopposed Election Marks Shah’s Rise Shah was elected as no other nominations came in against him. The ICC also confirmed he was the sole nominee, with a couple of sets of nominations coming in for him by the 16 existing directors of the ICC. According to the regulations of the ICC, the candidate need not file the nomination papers, and thus it was pretty easy for the election of Shah himself. From BCCI to ICC Shah, who assumes the new assignment in the ICC, has got to go out of BCCI as secretary-a position he has held since 2019. The first major job for Shah as ICC Chairman is to appoint a new Independent Woman Director in place of Indra Nooyi after the latter completed her recent tenure. He will also have to deal with the issue of Disney Star seeking a renegotiation of the $3 billion broadcast deal. Besides, his other immediate task will be finding an adequate replacement for his stint with the BCCI. A Vision for International Cricket Growth In his maiden statement as ICC Chairman-elect, Shah outlined a future vision for the sport at large, with particular emphasis on the sport’s impending inclusion into the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Shah was all ears over the fact that the opportunity to come would prove pivotal in cricket’s attempt to spread its wings around the world. “I am humbled by the nomination as the Chair of the International Cricket Council,” Shah said. “I am committed to working closely with the ICC team and our member nations to further globalize cricket. We stand at a critical juncture where it is increasingly important to balance the coexistence of multiple formats, promote the adoption of advanced technologies, and introduce our marquee events to new global markets. Our goal is to make cricket more inclusive and popular than ever before.“ Innovative Leadership for a New Era Shah said that new ideas and innovation have to be embraced to increase cricket’s popularity across the world. He even considers the inclusion of cricket in the Olympics to be a moment when the growing graph of cricket began. “While we will build on the valuable lessons learned, we must also embrace fresh thinking and innovation to elevate the love for cricket worldwide. The inclusion of our sport in the Olympics at LA 2028 represents a significant inflection point for the growth of cricket, and I am confident that it will drive the sport forward in unprecedented ways” added Shah. A New Chapter for the ICC The ICC hailed Shah’s tenure thus: “Shah’s election marks a new chapter for the ICC as it seeks to expand the game’s reach and continue its evolution on the global stage.“ As Jay Shah prepares to take on this prestigious role, the cricketing world will keenly watch how this vision shapes the future of the sport.

Shikhar Dhawan Retires: Top 5 Knocks Of Gabbar In International Cricket
Very few cricketers evoke the same flair and tenacity as Shikhar Dhawan. Fondly nicknamed “Gabbar,” Shikhar Dhawan’s career has spanned a decade and is a story of grit, elegance, and an undying love for the game. His journey from the dust-bowl grounds of Delhi to the pinnacle of international cricket shall be remembered not only for the runs he scored but also for the style in which he played the game—always with an infectious smile and an aggressive yet graceful style. On the day Shikhar Dhawan announced his retirement from international cricket, what needed to be done was to turn back and see those innings which shaped his legacy. Be it his dazzling debut or the match-winning performances in high-pressure games, Dhawan’s career forms a collection of iconic moments forever etched in the memory of cricket fans globally. Here, revisit five of his most memorable innings that define his contribution to Indian cricket. 1. Debut – 187 vs Australia, 2010 Dhawan’s Test debut against Australia was nothing short of spectacular. Facing a formidable Australian bowling attack, the Delhi-born cricketer announced his arrival with a breathtaking 187, setting the record for the highest score by an Indian on Test debut. His innings was adjudged to be an exemplary combination of confidence and skill which put his skillful abilities with the bat in the limelight and scripted the foundation for India’s victory. This knock not only secured the victory but was also a starting point in Dhawan’s journey as one of the pivotal figures in the Indian batting line-up. 2. Champions Trophy 2013 – 137 vs England The situation was clear: any runs would count in the ICC Champions Trophy final in 2013. That 137 for Dhawan was of paramount importance in the context of India’s chase. His association with Virat Kohli turned out to be the deciding factor, and his ability to perform under pressure earned him the Player of the Tournament award. This knock testified more to his ability to rise to any situation and play match-winning innings whenever it really mattered. 3. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 – 137 vs South Africa One of Dhawan’s most memorable innings was saved for a strong South African bowling attack during the 2015 ICC World Cup. His 137 off 146 balls helped India post a challenging total and secure a crucial win against one of the tournament’s top contenders. Playing in Melbourne, Dhawan’s knock broke India’s jinx against South Africa in World Cups and proved he can perform on the biggest stage. 4. India’s Tour Of Sri Lanka 2017 – 190 vs Sri Lanka Dhawan’s 190 off 168 balls against Sri Lanka during the Galle Test was an example of his attacking bent of mind in the game’s longer format. His blistering innings set up the scene for a comprehensive Indian victory, underlining his reputation as one of the most dangerous batsmen in the team. This aggressive and incisive knock would go a long way in proving that Dhawan has the mettle to dominate any bowling attack in any format. 5. West Indies Tour Of India 2018 – 190 vs West Indies When Dhawan needed reaffirmation in his Test career, he came up with a masterclass in the form of a knock of 190 against the West Indies in Rajkot. Runs came both in terms of elegance and power, as Dhawan’s innings saw him hit 26 fours, proving very crucial to India’s victory. This not only reinstated his place in the Test team but also proved that Dhawan could adapt and do well in any situation. As Shikhar Dhawan walks into the sunset of international cricket, it will be recalled not only for the runs he scored but also for the manner in which he played the game—being infectious with his smile, fearless in his approach, and always rising to the occasion. His legacy thus is one of flair, resilience and rising to an occasion with what looked like never-say-die attitude—his contribution to Indian cricket, in general, cannot be belittled.

Now an Australian citizen, Morkel had a glittering international career for South Africa, playing 247 matches—86 Tests, 117 ODIs, and 44 T20Is—with a total count of 544 wickets. This, of course, includes 309 wickets in Tests, 188 in ODIs, and 47 in T20Is. Morkel’s Coaching Career Ever since his retirement from international cricket in March 2018, Morkel has built up quite a bank of coaching experience: 1. Morkel was with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for three seasons of the IPL, during both of which he was under the mentorship of Gambhir.2.

Questions Loom Before The Border-Gavaskar Trophy
With the flame already ignited for one of the most famous rivalries in the history of cricket, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 is going to be nothing short of action and intense drama. Though a couple of months are still left, many questions are yet to be answered as the series gets anticipated. If Not RO-KO Then Who? Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been India’s batting mainstays for more than a decade now. The Virat-Rohit duo has piled up 2629 runs for India while playing against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Although Rohit Sharma cemented his place in the Indian red ball side in 2018, he has been a major contributor when it comes to scoring runs. However, considering the age in the legs of both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma it is important for someone else from the batting order to step up and deliver it for the Indian Cricket Team. While the hopes rest on Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, it would be interesting to see if they can meet the expectations by facing the challenge down under. Who Will Join Jasprit Bumrah? Australia is known for producing fast and bouncy decks unlike India where the pitches are more spin dominant. To give Australia a tough fight, India need more resources in their fast bowling cartel to join Jasprit Bumrah and deliver. Fast bowlers, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Siraj and Shardul Thakur have a taste of wickets from down under. A couple of these guys alongside Bumrah might make a quality seam bowling attack. Steve Smith The Opener Or Steve Smith The Middle Order Batter? Any cricket fan who follows the Border-Gavaskar Trophy might be aware of how much Steve Smith is in love with scoring runs against India. Smith, till the end of last year used to bat in between number 3 to number 5 in test match cricket. However, including Cameron Green and the empty opening spot at the top post David Warner’s retirement made him think of pushing himself up the batting order. However, Smith opening the innings in test match cricket didn’t come off as a great decision. Smith hasn’t played in the whites and the famous Baggy Green since late January 2024 with Australia having no test matches scheduled in their calendar. However while playing against India, it would be interesting to see if Smith opens the batting or shifts back to any of numbers 3, 4 or 5 in the middle order. FYI – In the 18 test matches Steve Smith has played in the Border-Gavaskar series so far, Steve Smith has successfully piled 1887 runs at an ultra impressive average of 65.06. What’s Bigger – Border-Gavaskar Trophy or The Ashes? The intensity of the India-Australia rivalry has arguably reached the same level to that of the intensity of the England-Australia rivalry. While many believe that The Ashes being the oldest rivalry is cricket’s greatest showdown, some say that the Border-Gavaskar rivalry is the most fierce one due to the intense battles between the two cricketing powerhouses. Well, therefore we leave the answer to this question up to you. The Sportz Planet Desk,Atharva Shetye
SL vs IND: Riyan Parag Shines With The Ball On ODI Debut
07th August, 2024, is surely a day Riyan Parag will remember for ages. And it’s not only for his ODI debut for the Indian Cricket Team against Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo but also for the three wickets he took in the eight overs he bowled. Skipper Shows Faith Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat. India’s skipper, Rohit Sharma soon handed over the ball to Riyan Parag. And he lived up to the skipper’s expectations. Parag, the 256th player to represent India in ODI’s spun a web and trapped Avishka Fernando (96 off 102), Charith Asalanka (10 off 12) and Dunith Wellalage (2 off 3). Parag’s First ODI Wicket Avishka Fernando was thoroughly overdue a deserved hundred, on 96 from 102 balls, 9 fours and 2 sixes, but then stepped Riyan Parag and everything had to change: he dismissed Fernando when he was only 4 runs from the magic figure—breaking an important partnership in the process. Parag Traps The Opposition Captain Parag wasn’t done yet. The very next over, he trapped the Sri Lankan skipper Charith Asalanka leg-before-wicket. After a bit of consultation with Kusal Mendis, Asalanka decided to review the decision. UltraEdge confirmed there was no bat involved, while HawkEye lights showed three reds, thus sealing Asalanka’s fate on 10 runs off 12 balls. A 3 Wicket Haul On Debut Next in to bat was Dunith Wellalage, who was in dangerous form in the previous couple of games. However, Parag was unstoppable, clean bowling Wellalage with just 2 runs off 3 balls. Riyan Parag, who usually plays as a batting all-rounder has not only delivered with the ball in the 3rd ODI against Sri Lanka but also was one of the key members in the bowling unit while undoing the Sri Lankan batters in the recent T20I series. Well if Parag keeps on delivering the goods with the ball, it wouldn’t be surprising to call it a ‘Reverse Steve Smith Phenomenon.’ The Sportz Planet Desk,Atharva Shetye
