Hi @sachit30 , just wanted to check if you have found any workaround this?

I realized that espncricinfo has started to prevent requests made through requests.get() in python.
I have been trying to use Selenium to replace requests.get() which works.
However, it is inefficient to use Selenium if I have to make tens of thousands of requests

@atharvaagate i faced similar issues and found it was better to just use the json url.

@prateekb1912 but the json url doesn't provide all fields!
