Abhishek Nayar, who was associated with the Indian cricket team as an assistant coach since the last eight months, was sacked by the BCCI last week. While the side's poor performance at the Border Gavaskar Trophy is being seen as a reason behind Nayar's sacking, some reports have made serious allegations. A report by PTI claimed that Nayar's removal was on the cards after Sitanshu Kotak was added to the Indian team's support staff as an additional batting coach.

Former Indian cricket team batter Virender Sehwag took a brutal dig at Glenn Maxwell and Liam Livingstone over their dismal runs in the ongoing IPL 2025. Both cricketers have failed to impress in the ongoing competition and they were both dropped by their respective sides on Sunday. While Royal Challengers Bengaluru included Romario Shepherd in place of Livingstone, Maxwell has not featured for Punjab Kings in the last couple of matches. Sehwag said that both cricketers have no 'visible desire to fight for their teams' and even said that they look like the IPL is like a holiday for them.
JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia, hosts of the 2034 football World Cup, could make a bid for the 2035 Rugby World Cup despite barely playing the game. Sports minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal was not ruling it out when he met reporters on the sidelines of Sunday’s floodlit Formula One grand prix in Jeddah. “We’re interested in rugby, we’re interested in developing the sport locally, so we created a federation to see what we can do to develop the sport,” he said. “I don’t think we’re on the level of hosting yet but ‘35 is in 10 years so maybe it grows in that direction and we see a big interest in that, then why not?” The Times newspaper reported last month that Saudi Arabia could join with Qatar, who hosted the 2022 football World Cup, and the United Arab Emirates in a joint bid for 2035 or 2039. It quoted Asia Rugby President Qais Al-Dhalai, an Emirati, as saying it could happen. “A multi-host could be a successful story and a new model for rugby. UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia.
Kolkata Knight Riders' upcoming assignment is against Gujarat Titans on Monday at the Eden Gardens. This match will also mark the return of Abhishek Nayar as KKR's assistant coach. Nayar, who was a part of KKR's coaching setup in the previous edition, had left the job after he joined Team India as the assistant coach. He was chosen by head coach Gautam Gambhir, along with Ryan Ten Doeschate as his assistants. However, the BCCI took a strict action after India's debacle in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia and sacked Nayar from his duties.
Alexander Zverev arrived at the Munich Open on the back of his "worst period" since a career-threatening ankle injury in 2022 and it was little surprise the German was beaming from ear to ear after winning his first title of the season on Sunday.
