The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 came to a fitting end as Australia defeated hosts England by seven wickets in the final at Lord’s on July 5 to lift a record-extending seventh title. While Australia once again proved why they are the benchmark in women’s cricket, several batters lit up the tournament with remarkable consistency and match-winning performances.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a name that is always associated with the top echelons of the cricketing world. Breaking out as a rag-tag, long-haired young wicketkeeper batter from Jharkhand, with an unorthodox batting technique and lightning-fast reflexes with the gloves, Dhoni etched himself into the sport’s folklore as one of the calmest and most reliable presences on the cricketing field.

MS Dhoni turns 45 years old on Tuesday, July 7. Unfortunately, he didn’t play a single game in this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) after struggling with injuries. However, he was with the squad and even travelled to the stadium for Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) matches. On his birthday, it is a privilege to look back on three of the many clutch knocks played by MS Dhoni during his illustrious career.

On July 7, 1984, one of Bangladesh cricket’s most gifted talents, Mohammad Ashraful, was born in Dhaka. Widely regarded as Bangladesh’s first genuine cricketing superstar, Ashraful captured the imagination of fans with his fearless batting and extraordinary talent. While his career was filled with unforgettable highs, it also ended in disappointment following his involvement in the Bangladesh Premier League spot-fixing scandal.

July 7 will always hold a special place in Indian cricket history. On this day, 45 years ago, former captain and wicketkeeper MS Dhoni was born in Ranchi, Bihar (now Jharkhand). Over the years, he would go on to become one of, if not the most successful, captains in the nation’s history.

Sri Lanka lifted their fourth Asia Cup title on July 6, 2008, in Karachi, beating India by 100 runs in a final that, on the scorecard, appeared to be a fairly easy, one-sided affair. The two teams finished at the top of the Super 4s stage, finishing ahead of Pakistan and Bangladesh, who qualified from the group stages. The two teams played each other at the same venue on July 3, where India chased down a total of 309 with six wickets in hand.

The 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup is looked back on fondly for multiple reasons. A ten-team tournament, where a star-studded generation of cricketers at the peaks of their prowess took each other on to prove that they have what it takes. The tournament saw records aplenty shattered, and one among those, which stands out for its sheer magnitude, is Rohit Sharma’s five centuries, the most by a batter in a single World Cup.

Records were shattered aplenty as India beat England by a massive 336-run margin at Edgbaston on July 6, 2025. This was a new-look Indian side’s first win under the leadership of Shubman Gill, and what better feat to achieve in your first win as Test skipper than lead the Men in Blue’s first-ever Test victory in Birmingham.
