It is said in cricket that the toss puts half the match in your bag. Especially in T20 International, where the pitch and conditions change rapidly, the role of toss becomes even more important. Although winning the toss is completely considered a game of luck, there have been some captains who have made a unique record by winning the toss every time in the entire series. Such opportunities have been seen very rarely in the history of T20 International cricket.

Mahela Jayawardene – Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka’s legendary batsman Mahela Jayawardene accomplished this special feat during the T20 Canada tournament played in Canada in 2008/09. They won the toss all three times in the three-match series. Not only this, Sri Lanka also won all three matches. This series was memorable both in terms of Mahela’s captaincy and luck.

William Porterfield – Ireland

The second name in this list is that of William Porterfield of Ireland. He won consecutive toss in four matches during the ICC World T20 Qualifier played in UAE in 2009–10. Under his captaincy, Ireland played four matches, winning two and losing two. Despite complete control of the toss, the results remained equal, which shows that winning the toss does not always guarantee victory.

Stuart Broad – England

Former England captain and fast bowler Stuart Broad is also included in this special list. In the T20 series played against Pakistan in UAE in 2011-12, Broad won the toss of all three matches. During this period, England won two matches and lost one. Despite the success in the toss, the series was not completely one-sided.

Mohammad Hafeez – Pakistan

Pakistan’s experienced all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez won the toss of three matches in the T20 series against Australia in 2012. In this series, Pakistan won one match, lost one and one match was tied. This example also shows how important is performance on the field along with the toss.

Faf du Plessis – South Africa

Faf du Plessis, captain of the South African team that went on Sri Lanka tour in 2013, won the toss every time in the three-match T20 series. His team won two matches, while faced defeat in one.

The famous Test series Ashes 2025-2026 played between England and Australia is going on. In the second Test, which started on 4 December, England, batting first, were all out for 334 runs, Australia is in a good position. Australia also won the first match. Meanwhile, former England fast bowler James Anderson chose the all-time perfect playing eleven for the Ashes. Anderson did not choose former Australian captain Ricky Ponting as captain. Rather, he was included as a wicket keeper, which surprised everyone.

Who is the captain of all time Ashes XI?

43-year-old former cricketer James Anderson chose the all-time perfect playing eleven by including players from England and Australia. The fans were most surprised when in the end he chose Ricky Ponting as the wicket keeper, while he made Ben Stokes the captain.

TNT Sports asked James Anderson to select his all-time Ashes XI. Anderson first took the name of Donald Bradman, whose average was around 99. This was also surprising, because this great batsman never opened in his Test career. Bradman batted at number 3 in 40 matches, scoring 5078 runs. Anderson chose former England captain Alastair Cook as the second opener.

Ricky Ponting at number three

James Anderson chose Ricky Ponting at number three and Joe Root at number four. Anderson did not include Steve Smith, who is the third highest run-scorer in the Ashes, in his playing 11.

He placed Kevin Pietersen at number five. After Ian Botham, he included Ben Stokes, whom he later made the captain. He included the late Shane Warne in this team. After this he included Bob Wills, Glenn McGrath and Stuart Broad in the team.

After revealing his team, he made Stuart Broad the captain, but the interesting twist came at the end. He had forgotten to choose the wicket keeper, after which he said that he would like to give this role to Ricky Ponting. Let us tell you that in the 90s, Ponting kept wicket 4 times in club cricket, although he never kept wicket in professional cricket.

In the world of cricket, the records of batsmen often remain in the headlines, but the stories of bowlers are no less interesting. There have been some bowlers who gave the most runs in their career. Let us know about those top 5 bowlers who gave the most runs in international cricket (Test, ODI and T20) and still created history.

Muttiah Muralitharan – Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan spin magician Muttiah Muralitharan may have given the most runs in his career, but he is also the bowler who has taken the most wickets in the history of cricket. He took 1,347 wickets in 495 matches and conceded 30,803 runs. His bowling average was 22.86 and economy rate was only 2.92. He has a record of taking five wickets 77 times and ten wickets 22 times, which is historic in itself.

Anil Kumble – India

India’s legendary spinner Anil Kumble took 956 wickets in 403 international matches. He gave 28,767 runs in his career, but led India to many victories. His taking 10 wickets (10/74) against Pakistan in Delhi is still one of the most memorable achievements of cricket. His precise line and length made him one of the greatest bowlers in the history of Indian cricket.

James Anderson – England

James Anderson is the fast bowler taking the most wickets in the history of Test cricket. In more than 400 matches played since 2002, he has taken 991 wickets and given 27,040 runs. His ball is famous for swing and he is still playing for England.

Shane Warne – Australia

Australia’s leg-spin king Shane Warne has been one of the most influential bowlers in the history of cricket. He took 1001 wickets in 339 matches and gave 25,536 runs. Warne’s ball ‘Getting Delivery’ is still counted among the most famous balls of cricket.

Stuart Broad – England

Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad is known for his enthusiasm and fighting spirit. He took 847 wickets in 344 matches and conceded 23,574 runs. His bowling figure of 8/15 is still one of the most memorable performances in cricket.

The night of T20 World Cup 2007 is still remembered in the heart of every Indian fan. That night, Yuvraj Singh immortalized his name in cricket history by hitting 6 sixes in 6 balls against England. The victim of this memorable over was England’s young fast bowler Stuart Broad, whose career was just beginning at that time. That match is over, but the memory of that over is still one of the most talked about incidents of cricket. Now years later, Stuart Broad’s father Chris Broad has made a revelation that has surprised the fans. He told that his son, after seeing a gift related to Yuvraj Singh, threw it in the dustbin in anger.

Father gave Yuvraj’s jersey, son threw it in the dustbin

Former England cricketer and 1986-87 Ashes hero Chris Broad recently told in an interview that he once gave Yuvraj Singh’s autographed jersey as a Christmas gift to his son Stuart. Chris Broad told, “My son’s sense of humor was a bit weak at that time. I thought of surprising him by giving him Yuvraj’s signed jersey, but as soon as he opened the box, he threw the jersey straight in the dustbin without saying anything.”

England became a legend even after 6 sixes

However, even after that over, Stuart Broad proved himself and became one of the great bowlers in the history of English cricket. Broad has played 167 Tests, 121 ODIs and 56 T20 matches in his international career. He took 604 wickets in Tests, which is the second highest figure for England. At the same time, he took 178 wickets in ODI and 65 wickets in T20. He retired in 2023 after an illustrious career and is now counted among the great players of English cricket.

When Stuart Broad received Yuvraj Singh’s signed T-shirt as a Christmas gift, he threw the jersey in the dustbin. This was revealed by Stuart’s father, Chris Broad. Stuart’s father also used to be a cricketer and was the hero of England’s memorable victory in the 1986-87 Ashes.

According to The Telegraph, Chris Broad told that Stuart did not like Yuvraj Singh’s gift after hitting 6 sixes. He said, “I had taken Yuvraj Singh’s autograph on the Indian team jersey. I gave the same jersey to Stuart Broad as a Christmas gift. He opened the gift, looked at it and threw it in the dustbin. I think he had lost his sense of humor after the 6 sixes incident.”

You ended my son’s career…

About five years ago, Yuvraj Singh had also told the story behind this signed jersey. Chris Broad was the match referee in that match of the 2007 World Cup. Yuvraj revealed how Chris Broad went to him the next day after being hit for six sixes and said, “You have almost ended my son’s career, now you have to sign this T-shirt.”

Yuvraj Singh had also written a special message on that T-shirt. He wrote, “I have been hit for 5 sixes in an over, I know how you must be feeling. All the best to the future star of England cricket.”

Stuart Broad went on to become one of the greatest bowlers in history. He took 847 wickets in his international career. He took 604 wickets in his Test career, 178 wickets in ODI matches and 65 wickets in his T20 career.

T20i record: The importance of toss in T20 International cricket has always been considered special.

William Porterfield – Ireland

Faf du Plessis – South Africa

Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja place in the team Why not,

Stuart Broad responded to a post on social media and wrote, “You are forgetting the information about the important thing. Gill was to be at number four in his role, but the route which is still better than him at number four. Ben Stokes is better than Ravindra Jadeja, especially in bowling.”

You are missing the crucial info. In their role. Gill Had to be 4. Root is better at 4 than he Him Currently. 2nd on all time list. Stokes is better than jadeja, especially with the ball

– Stuart Broad (@Stuartbroad8) August 5, 2025

Joe Root vs Shubman Gill, who was better at number four?

• Shubman Gill- 754 runs in 10 innings
• Which route 537 runs in 9 innings

Shubman Gill scored 754 runs in 10 innings played in this series, including 4 century innings. He scored 269 runs in the first innings of the second Test, which is his highest Test score. In the second innings of this match, he created history by scoring 161 runs. He became the Indian batsman to score the most runs (430) in a Test.

Joe Root played 3 century innings in this series. His highest score was 150, which he made in the fourth Test. Root (13543 Test Run) defeated Ponting (13378 Test runs) in this series, he has now become the second batsman in the world to score the most runs in Test cricket.

Ravindra Jadeja also performed brilliant

The fourth Test played at Lord’s was going to lose India, but Ravindra Jadeja along with Washington Sundar Drew it. Both of them completed their respective centuries and draw it. Apart from this, he scored half -centuries (89 and 69) in both innings of the second Test, this Test won India. Stuart replaced Jadeja in his playing 11 and also made him captain.

Ind vs eng 5th test: The fifth Test in the Oval between India and England is now at a very exciting turn. On the one hand, Team India is just four wickets away from the victory, on the other hand England need only 35 runs to win, but the way England’s innings has reached Tail-Ed, now his hopes of victory seem to be very weak. This is the reason that England veteran fast bowler Stuart Broad is also considering India as the favorite of the match.

India’s bowlers made a strong comeback

India gave England a target of 374 runs. By the end of the fourth day’s play, England’s score has reached 339 for 6 wickets. That is, now they need only 35 runs to win. Currently, Jamie Smith and bowler Jamie Overn are present at the crease. The team’s veteran all -rounder Chris Woakes had gone out of the field from the very first day due to injury. Since then, Vox has neither bowled nor has come to bat. In such a situation, England’s tail has come to the crease and India’s hopes of victory have increased significantly.

Stuart Broad told India a favorite

Seeing the match, former England player Stuart Broad has fowled India during a conversation at JioCinema’s post match show. He believes that the victory is visible in India’s favor at the moment. He said, “I still consider India as a favorite. I think the Indian bowlers are still getting a lot of help in the oval pitch. Siraj had put a spectacular spell in the morning and during his bowler, the Wabley Seam movement was clearly visible. The famous Krishna’s bowling in the match was also fantastic.”

Stuart Broad described Harry Brook’s wicket as the most important for India. Harry returned to the pavilion after dismissing 111. England have been in trouble since his wicket fell. He said, “Brook was the batsman who could take away this match from India, but as soon as he was out, England’s difficulties started again.”

Scorecard – Match status

India first innings- 224 runs

England first innings- 247 runs

India second innings- 396 runs

England chasing the target- 339 runs for 6 wickets (last day remaining)

Indian bowlers have made a strong comeback and cleared the top order of England.

Vox injury caused a cause of concern

Stuart Broad also talked about Chris Woakes’ fitness, he said, “Chris Woakes will come down to bat only when the match is very close or stuck. Without him, England’s tail has been completely under pressure.”

Eyes on the last day

Now everyone’s eyes are on the first session of the last day, where India needs two to three wickets and England is 35 runs to win, but India’s hand is looking heavy in view of the situation and the situation of the pitch.

Ind vs eng 5th test: Before the decisive match of the ongoing exciting Test series between India and England, England’s team seems to be moving towards a big decision. England may have to pay the price of not being able to allout Team India in the Manchester Test. Former England veteran fast bowler Stuart Broad and former captain Nasir Hussain believe that Jofra Archer, who is returning to Test cricket after a long time, should be rested in the fifth Test.

Broad said this about Archer

Stuart Broad believes that Archer should not include the team in the final Test of the series. He said during a conversation with Sky Sports, “We cannot keep Jofra Archer out of the team for four years and then after his return, put so much workload on him that he does not be able to play again for the next four years.”

Broad suggested that in the last Test, Gus Atkinson should get a chance to play in the team. England has not given them a chance against the big teams at the moment, due to which the workload has not been done on the gus yet. The biggest thing than that is that this test is being held on his home ground. In such a situation, this can be a great opportunity for them.

Broad also said that Bridan Cars, who played in the fourth Test, also appeared quite tired during the bowling and Josh Tung was also able to dismiss only the lower order batsmen. In such a situation, the team can get a better option instead of Archer.

Former captain Nasir Hussain also gave this advice

Supporting Broad’s statement, former England veteran Nasir Hussain also said, “The bowler who returns after four years should not feed three Test matches directly. If one of your bowlers Atkinson fit, then he must give a chance on the home ground.”

How was Archer’s performance?

Jofra Archer, who is returning after four years, has performed impressively in this series so far. He took a wicket on the third ball of the over in Lord’s Test and took a total of 5 wickets in the match. At the same time, he also performed brilliantly in the Manchester Test. Despite this, in view of his fitness, he is being advised to give him comfort.

India hopes for equal in final match

England are currently 2–1 in the five-match Test series. However, India still has a chance to draw the series 2-2 by winning the fifth Test. Interestingly, the last time also India finished the Test series in England at 2-2.
