Rahkeem Cornwall, the heaviest man to play cricket, was run out for a duck in a CPL 2023 match.

Often dubbed as the ‘heaviest’ player in professional cricket, Rahkeem Cornwall is a man who often grabs the attention of fans whenever he comes onto the field. Playing for Barbados Royals in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2023, the West Indies all-rounder found himself quite short of the crease as he looked to take a risky single on the very first ball of the innings. Chasing the target of over 200 runs, Cornwall knew his team needed to score quick runs, but the big fella wasn’t fast between the wickets right at the beginning of the chase.

Ravichandran Ashwin explained his ‘colleagues not friends’ comment, revealing why it is difficult for Indian teammates to be as close to each other as the previous generation’s players were.

It wasn’t too long ago that Ravichandran Ashwin left Indian cricket lovers shell-shocked with his statement suggesting the Indian players are more ‘colleagues than friends’. While Ashwin himself doesn’t find anything ‘negative’ in the equation, some former cricketers were also surprised to see how things have evolved within the team over the years. Touching upon the subject again, Ashwin said that there’s some difference between what he said and what people are understanding. He also explained why it is difficult for Indian players to be friends these days.
