Why Can't Arsenal Sell?
There's a lot to commend about the way Arsenal handle their business behind the scene. They've boasted using a self-sustaining model and have reaped the rewards in a more organic way. Under Arsene Wenger we were known as a club that always needed to sell to buy and quite famously neglected spending anything on transfer fees, baring some deals early on in his Arsenal tenure. Wenger's philosophy was to make a superstar rather than buy them and it worked pretty well for him, he uncovered and polished a number of gems that went onto to have glittering careers.

Joe Root scored 6000 runs in the Test Championship alone!
Joe Root has etched his name into the history books once again by becoming the first batsman to score 6,000 runs in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC). This remarkable feat was achieved during the fourth day of the decisive Test match between England and India at The Oval. Root, one of England's finest-ever batters, reached the milestone in England’s second innings by driving a boundary off India pacer Mohammad Siraj in the 40th over. That boundary took his tally to the magical 6,000-run mark in the WTC, cementing his place as the format’s most prolific scorer. Having scored 29 runs in the first innings of the match, Root needed just 25 runs in the second innings to reach the landmark.

England Near Record Chase as India Fights Back Late on Dramatic Day 4 at The Oval
When India set England a target of 374 runs to win at The Oval, many believed Shubman Gill’s team had one hand on the victory. Chasing a fourth-innings total of this magnitude has historically been an uphill battle, especially at this venue where no team had ever successfully chased more than 263 runs before—a record that had stood since 1902. That stat alone made India the favorites as they walked off the field after their second innings. However, cricket’s beauty lies in its unpredictability, and England’s chase soon turned into something extraordinary.

Shubman Gill became the number-1 Indian captain, leaving behind Gavaskar and Kohli
Shubman Gill etched his name in the history books by breaking one of Indian cricket’s longstanding records—surpassing the legendary Sunil Gavaskar’s tally of 732 runs in a single Test series as captain. Gavaskar had set the benchmark in the 1978/79 series against the West Indies on home soil, a record that stood firm for nearly five decades. Gill, however, rewrote history during the ongoing Test series against England, achieving the milestone on Day 1 of the fifth and final Test at the Kennington Oval in London. Coming into the match, Gill was within striking distance of Gavaskar’s record. Needing just 11 more runs to overtake the iconic opener, he reached the milestone early in the innings, securing his place at the top of the list for the most runs by an Indian captain in a single Test series.
