Harmanpreet Kaur etched her name into the record books on Thursday as she became the most-capped player in women’s international cricket history.


The milestone came in Canberra, Australia, where the Indian captain featured in her 356th international match for India women’s national cricket team — taking her to the top of the all-time list for most international appearances in women’s cricket.

Harmanpreet, who has been a pillar of Indian cricket across formats, achieved the landmark through consistent performances in Tests, ODIs and T20Is over the years. A World Cup-winning captain and one of the most influential figures in the modern women’s game, she continues to lead from the front with both bat and leadership.

Her journey, marked by match-winning knocks and bold captaincy decisions, reflects the growth of women’s cricket in India and globally. Reaching 356 caps is a testament not only to longevity but also to sustained excellence at the highest level.

With this feat, Harmanpreet adds yet another chapter to an already illustrious international career.

Happy 37th Birthday to Virat Kohli — A Legend in Motion

Tanisha Cardozo

On 5 November 2025, Virat Kohli celebrates his 37th birthday — a milestone that invites reflection on a career already etched in the annals of cricketing history. Born in Delhi on 5 November 1988, Kohli’s rise from a talented U19 World Cup winning captain in 2008 to the heartbeat of Indian cricket has been marked by records, determination, and an unfaltering will to win.

Kohli’s journey is defined not only by the volume of runs he has amassed, but by the contexts in which he achieved them. His mastery of the chase in One-Day Internationals, his hunger in Test matches abroad, his leadership of the Indian team, and his loyalty to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru franchise in the Indian Premier League stand out as defining chapters. The year 2025 added yet another landmark when RCB, after a long wait, clinched their maiden IPL title — an emotional moment for a man whose devotion to the team spanned nearly two decades.

Beyond the scoreboard, Kohli transformed fitness, professionalism, and attitude in Indian cricket. He became a standard-bearer for the next generation, showing that greatness comes not just from talent but from relentless work, discipline, and self-belief. On his birthday, fans around the world reflect not just on his past triumphs but on the future he still promises.

At 37, the narrative does not slow — it evolves. For Kohli, this stage brings new roles: mentor, icon, ambassador of the sport he loves. Yet the hunger remains evident. On this special day, the cricketing world celebrates a player who made records look routine, who made chasing feel thrilling, and who made the crease his arena.

Happy birthday to the legend who continues to inspire.
