The Oval Invincibles are showing once again why they are the most formidable side in The Hundred, and Thursday night’s performance against the Trent Rockets only reinforced that claim. Chasing 172 at The Oval, they chased the target down within just 89 balls, leaving their competitors dazed and all but wrapped up a knockout spot. With only one more win needed from two group games, the Invincibles are sailing to a direct place in the final at Lord’s next Sunday – and a chance at a third title in succession.

Two amazing innings defined the game. Sam Curran smashed a phenomenal 52 off 24 balls, including six sixes from just eight balls, while Jordan Cox settled the chase with a stylish but destructive knock of 58 not out off 32. At one point, the Invincibles needed 102 from 40 balls but only needed 29 to chase down their target. Curran, also slow to start with just 7 from 12 balls, went into overdrive and, after his innings, declared he had “six or out”. After a quiet beginning of the innings, his excellence lit up The Oval with cavalier hitting.

Consistency and smart planning keep Oval Invincibles winning

Even after Curran went, Cox took no time wasting. For a short while, Cox was paired with Donovan Ferreira, who cleared the ropes twice in as many balls, until Cox brought the game to a close by hitting back-to-back boundaries, which saw the home support all roar, once again. That was a huge statement win. It even had Joe Root, who scored 76 off 41 for the Rockets, admit that the Invincibles “were the better team,”. So how do the Invincibles keep on winning? It comes down to continuity and planning. For many franchises, they had a core group of players from the inception of the competition. Will Jacks, Sam and Tom Curran, Sam Billings, and Cox have provided continuity, while clever overseas signings such as Rashid Khan and Jason Behrendorff have slotted in without hesitation. 

Their record does the talking: in three seasons they have 19 wins exit and of course, only 4 losses. In a league that has been designed for parity, this is a truly astonishing feat for the Invincibles, who manage to constantly be ahead in any criteria other than talent. That is to say, figuring out roles within the style of play, clarifying roles, and trusting the vision that has been developed. But the Invincibles are also clear about not getting carried away with the “three-peat” talk. Curran has said they are taking it “one game at a time” and understands how dangerous complacency can be. But the start of the question still remains across The Hundred

Ravindra Jadeja showed his class once again in the final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Manchester. On the last day of the match, he scored a brilliant century his fifth in Test cricket and helped India avoid defeat. He got solid support from Washington Sundar, who also hit his first-ever Test hundred.

Jadeja played a calm and steady innings, hitting 12 fours and one six in 182 balls. It was a special knock from the Saurashtra all-rounder, who had earlier come close to winning the Lord’s Test for India but fell just short by 22 runs.

Both Jadeja and Sundar showed great fight and focus. They batted through a tiring England bowling attack and gave India a chance to save the match. By the tea break, India were 322 for 4 after adding 99 runs without losing a wicket in the second session.

England’s Ben Stokes, who was dangerous in the morning, lost his rhythm later. In one over, he gave away 15 runs as Sundar hit him for a four and a six to reach his fifty. Soon after, Jadeja also completed his half-century with a classy cut shot. The duo’s strong stand made sure India walked away with a draw.

KL Rahul couldn’t stop smiling after walking off the field at Leeds, raising his bat to the crowd following a truly magnificent century. It was one of those innings that reminded everyone why he’s considered one of the classiest batters in the game. On a pitch where most struggled early on, Rahul stood tall, showing incredible patience and control. In the interview after the match, he was honest, humble, and full of emotion.

“I just wanted to stay out there as long as I could,” Rahul said with a laugh. “Conditions were tough early on, but I knew if I got through the first hour, things would get easier.” And that’s exactly what he did. He left the ball beautifully, waited for the right moments, and when the time came, unleashed his trademark cover drives. It wasn’t just about scoring runs it was about sending a message: KL Rahul is back, and he means business.

He also talked about the support from his teammates and how much this knock meant to him personally. “There have been ups and downs,” he admitted. “But everyone in the dressing room believed in me, and that belief makes a huge difference.” It was clear this hundred wasn’t just another number on the board it was deeply personal.
