My cricket-obsessed neighbour texted me at 3 AM last month asking if I’d been watching the LiveMatch coverage of Babar Azam’s innings. Honestly, I thought he was having some kind of breakdown until I checked the scores myself. The guy had just broken a record that had stood for fifteen years, and watching it unfold on LiveMatch felt like witnessing history in real-time.
This year has been absolutely insane for cricket records. My dad, who’s been watching cricket for forty years, keeps saying he’s never seen anything like what’s happening in 2025. Just last week, he called me during lunch break because some bowler had taken eight wickets in a T20 match, and the LiveMatch commentary team was losing their minds.
The Rohit Sharma milestone still gives me goosebumps. Watching him become the first player to score 4,000 runs in T20Is on LiveMatch was something else. My college WhatsApp group, which normally just shares memes, suddenly turned into this intense cricket discussion thread. Everyone was sharing LiveMatch clips and arguing about whether this makes him the greatest T20 batsman ever.
But here’s what really caught my attention: the bowling records being shattered this year are completely wild. That Pakistani spinner who took seven wickets in an ODI? I was watching it live on LiveMatch with my cricket club friends, and we literally couldn’t believe what we were seeing. The replay feature on LiveMatch helped us catch every single dismissal because everything was happening so fast.
My cousin works in sports journalism, and she’s been telling me how LiveMatch coverage has changed how records get documented and celebrated. “Before, you’d read about records in newspapers the next day,” she explained. “Now, LiveMatch viewers are witnessing history as it happens, and social media explodes immediately.”
The fastest century record got broken twice this year, which sounds impossible but somehow happened. I missed the first one because of a work meeting, but LiveMatch highlights helped me catch up. The second time, I made sure to block my calendar and watch it live. My wife thought I was crazy for treating it like some major life event, but honestly, some cricket moments deserve that level of attention.
What amazes me about following cricket through LiveMatch is how you can feel the momentum building toward record-breaking moments. When the commentary team gets that excited stuff, the noise from the crowd changes, and you know something is about to happen. My teenage nephew, who is just getting into cricket, is saying the LiveMatch coverage makes every game feel like a blockbuster movie.
The fielding records this season have been ridiculous. That catch by the South African fielder that LiveMatch showed from six different angles? My local cricket club is attempting to recreate it during our practice sessions. Nobody has even come close.
My barber, who always has cricket playing in his shop, switched to LiveMatch exclusively this year because their record coverage is so comprehensive. “They don’t just show the moment,” he told me while cutting my hair. “They explain why it matters, show the previous record, and more.” Honestly, 2025 has made cricket unpredictable again, and LiveMatch has been the perfect platform to experience all this madness.
