Shreyas' third straight fifty powers India to 3-0 sweep

Avesh Khan and Mohammed Siraj blew away Sri Lanka's top order, and the visitors couldn't recover despite Dasun Shanaka's 74

ESPNcricinfo Awards 2021 Test batting winner: Rishabh Pant holds back and holds out

The wicketkeeper-batter stared down a full-strength Australia attack to steer India to a famous victory

10-Feb-2022•Karthik Krishnaswamy

The aura, the intensity and the cameras around Virat Kohli's captaincy

Even if you believed Kohli-cam to be the most egregious example of a team game being turned into a personality cult, you might just find yourself missing it

16-Jan-2022•Karthik Krishnaswamy

India's Newlands nemeses: Risky full length, SA's height and home edge, the Jadeja void

Kohli conceded India couldn't get themselves to "more comprehensive or dominating positions" with the bat

14-Jan-2022•Karthik Krishnaswamy

Control and clarity stand out in Rishabh Pant's personality-defining Newlands century

He has made a name with his free-flowing batting, but his game has been built on the other bits, the ones that don't get spoken about much

13-Jan-2022•Karthik Krishnaswamy

India and Bumrah's faith in the process finally pays off

They have always stuck to their plans on this tour, but while it didn't result in a win in Johannesburg, Cape Town has been a completely different story

12-Jan-2022•Karthik Krishnaswamy

Mastery is mastery: Kohli shows unwavering discipline in challenging circumstances

The wait for the hundred continues, but his average of 28.11 since 2020 is less a reflection of his batting than the testing attacks and conditions he has faced

11-Jan-2022•Karthik Krishnaswamy

Ishant or Umesh - who should replace Siraj in Cape Town?

Tall swing bowler who can bowl dry when needed, or a skiddy swing bowler who might test both edges but could go for runs?

How South Africa won the pace-bowling battle at the Wanderers

Thanks to their being a lot taller than India's attack, they were able to extract more out of a pitch with extra bounce

07-Jan-2022•Karthik Krishnaswamy

Why did Rishabh Pant play that shot?

His moment of step-out-and-hope was perhaps born less of sky-high self-confidence than a lack of it

05-Jan-2022•Karthik Krishnaswamy

Shardul 'Beefy' Thakur's day out at the Wanderers

He isn't quite Botham, but he's a perfectly good fourth seamer who produced a Bothamesque spell to live up to his dressing-room nickname

04-Jan-2022•Karthik Krishnaswamy

How Ashwin stopped worrying about technique and started loving his old game again

He seems to have gone back to trusting his hands and eye, and allowing his innate attacking game to flourish

03-Jan-2022•Karthik Krishnaswamy

India's rope-a-hope with Pujara and Rahane is wearing thin

There probably isn't a lot of time left for the pair to turn things around, nor is there an easy way out of their ruts

03-Jan-2022•Karthik Krishnaswamy

Red-hot India look to wrap up series at favourable Wanderers

India have never lost a Test at this ground, but can expect South Africa to put up more of a fight than they did in Centurion

Two kinds of Jasprit Bumrah magic

One was an intended bit of magic, while the other was a reward from the cricketing gods
