Aaryavir Sehwag's batting resembles young Ajinkya Rahane's batting a lot.

Brendan Taylor (age 40) and Craig Ervine (age 41) scored a century for Zimbabwe in the Test against Afghanistan. This is only the second instance of two 40+ players scoring century in the same Test. Previous instance: Warren Bardsley (AUS), Jack Hobbs (ENG) in June 1926.

Anshul Kamboj's spell of 10-2-22-2 is the most economical 10-over spell in ODIs for India since June 2016.

Consecutive Team Matches From Debut In Each International Format (Minimum 15 Each)
MS Dhoni played the first 15 Tests from debut before missing a Test. Similarly, he played the first 40 ODIs and 25 T20Is before missing an ODI and a T20I. Does any other player have at least 15 matches in each format? @Sooraj_Ayyappan @KrishnaKRM @TheStatsKid1523 @ss04072012

Gautam Gambhir is very similar. Tests 1 to 29: Runs 2760 Average 57.50 100s 9 50s 11 Tests 30 to 58: Runs 1394 Average 27.33 100s 0 50s 11
Marnus Labuschagne's Test career is split in half: Tests 1-34: Average 58.47 Tests 35-68: Average 28.29 It is a PhD topic in waiting.

Longest career span among pacers in T20I cricket: Tim Southee 16 years and 133 days Adam Milne 15 years and 305 days Dwayne Bravo 15 years and 263 days Considered pacers and bowling all-rounders only. Did not expect Adam Milne to be at the second position.

Record for highest partnership for 10th wicket to win an ODI while chasing was held by Deryck Murray and Andy Roberts since June 1975 (in ODI No. 26). They scored 64* vs Pakistan. Today Shadab Khan and Haris Rauf broke that record after 51 years scoring 89* (in ODI No. 5047)!!

Tilak Varma joins Jasprit Bumrah to play T20Is in 13 countries. India have played in 14 countries. Bumrah has not played in China. Tilak has not played in Bangladesh.
Japan will be 13th country (considering West Indies as one country) where Jasprit Bumrah will play T20I cricket. Is this the highest among Indian players? What is the record for Full Member teams? Must be some player from Ireland or Afghanistan.

Rakesh Patel and Arjun Yadav were called in to Indian team in Ireland in 2007 as many members of the team were down with flu. Rakesh was playing league cricket in England and was the most easily available player.
