September 2025 Cricket News Archive
Welcome to the September 2025 archive on Exam Insights India. If you’re hunting for the biggest cricket moments from last month, you’ve landed in the right place. We’ve gathered two stories that sparked a lot of conversation – a thrilling T20I showdown in Florida and a rumor‑busting piece about India’s pace ace, Jasprit Bumrah. Below you’ll get a quick rundown of each article, why they mattered, and what you can take away.
Pakistan defeats West Indies in a 14‑run T20I thriller
The first T20I of the series unfolded at Lauderhill, Florida, and turned into a real nail‑biter. Pakistan chased down 164 thanks to a quickfire 57 from Saim Ayub and a game‑changing spell from Mohammad Nawaz, who claimed 3 for 23 and even snared a triple‑wicket over. West Indies set a solid platform with a 72‑run opening partnership, but the Pakistani spinners slowed the scoring rate and forced a collapse in the middle overs. Jason Holder tried to revive the chase with a quick flurry, yet the momentum had already shifted. The win gave Pakistan an early series lead and underscored how effective spin can be on a flat surface, especially when the opposition relies heavily on big hits.
Fact‑check: Was Jasprit Bumrah the reason England rushed their work?
A social‑media post claimed that England’s team hurried their innings because they were scared of Jasprit Bumrah, quoting a non‑existent Jamie Smith. We dug through match reports, press releases, and the series timeline and found no record of Smith making that statement. While Bumrah’s pace, bounce, and stingy economy often make teams rethink their game plans, there’s no evidence that England altered their approach out of fear of that specific quote. The rumor highlights how quickly misinformation spreads in cricket circles and why it’s worth double‑checking before sharing. It also shows that Bumrah’s reputation alone can influence opponent strategies, even if the exact words aren’t real.
That’s the whole September roundup. Both stories show different sides of the sport – the on‑field drama that decides matches and the off‑field chatter that can mislead fans. Keep checking Exam Insights India for more updates, analysis, and fact‑checks that keep you informed without the fluff.

Jasprit Bumrah scare or social-media spin? Checking the Jamie Smith claim
Sep 8 2025
A claim that Jamie Smith said England hurried their work out of fear of Jasprit Bumrah is doing the rounds, but there’s no solid source. We checked match records, pressers, and timelines and found no evidence of the quote—and Smith didn’t play in that India series. Here’s what’s real: Bumrah’s spells do change plans, and England’s fast-scoring style often tries to blunt him.
