Yash Dhull, who captained India to the 2022 U-19 World Cup triumph, has returned to competitive cricket after undergoing a minor heart surgery. Rajesh Nagar, Dhull's coach for more than a decade, told PTI that the top-order batter went under the knife in the first half of July. The coach revealed that it was during the U-23 high performance camp at the NCA, a small hole was detected in Dhull's heart when routine scans were conducted. "It was not a major surgery. It took him about 10 to 15 days to recover. He is not 100 percent at the moment in terms of his game and fitness, I would say he is about 80 percent but good enough," said Nagar on Wednesday.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction promises to be a nail-biter, with many top players expected to join new franchises. Among the biggest names linked with a move away from their existing teams is Rohit Sharma. The Hitman's fallout with the Mumbai Indians isn't a hidden story, ever since he was removed as the franchise's captain, ahead of the IPL 2024 season. Hardik Pandya replaced him as the team's skipper, with the change earning both the India all-rounder and MI bosses plenty of criticism from fans and former cricketers.
Dhawan, 38, last played a competitive game as captain of the Punjab Kings in this year's edition of the glitzy Indian Premier League T20 tournament.
With top contenders such as the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder getting even better, expect another battle in a stacked Western Conference.
