Back in the Indian team after a long gap of eight years, batter Karun Nair on Saturday expressed his delight and said he was "awaiting this call" after amassing big runs in the 2024-25 domestic season. Having last played in 2017, Nair was dropped from the team soon after becoming the second triple centurion in Tests from India. "Grateful to get back, happy and proud and fortunate. Found out like all of you found out (about his selection). Was eagerly awaiting the call, got a lot of messages from close ones," Nair said after playing a pivotal role in Delhi Capitals' six-wicket win over Punjab Kings in the IPL here.

Rahul Dravid Pushed For Shubman Gill's Elevation Over Another Star, Selectors Couldn't Turn Down

When Lakhwinder Singh Gill, an affluent farmer from Chakh Khere Wala village, which is just 10km from the Indo-Pakistan border, decided to move to Mohali to give wings to his younger child Shubman's cricketing talent, he didn't have a Plan B in mind. The boy was not even nine years old but the only 'toy' he ever played with was a cricket bat gifted by his grandfather Sardar Didar Singh. Shubman Gill's story is as much about adhering to the 3 'Ds' (Discipline, Dedication and Determination) as it is about a pushy father, who was ready to move mountains to see his son wear that India cap.

Shubman Gill Makes Big Claim On Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli's Retirements: "Know How To..."

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had "very contrasting styles" of leadership but the two iconic players along with spinner Ravichandran Ashwin have given the Indian team the "blueprint to win" Test series away from home, says new skipper Shubman Gill, who was on Saturday appointed India's captain in Tests. The first assignment for the 25-year-old is a five-Test series England where he won't have stalwarts like Kohli and Rohit in the line-up. "(The) guys like Rohit bhai, Virat bhai and Ashwin bhai… they have given us a blueprint on how to tour away from home and win matches and series," Gill said in a video released by the BCCI on Sunday.

How Can RCB, Mumbai Indians Finish Top 2 In Playoffs Race After Gujarat Titans' Consecutive Losses

Gujarat Titans were dealt a massive blow in their bid to finish in the Top 2 going into the IPL 2025 playoffs as the Shubman Gill-led side slumped to a loss against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. Following this loss, GT are currently top of the table with 18 points from 14 matches. However, with Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru having a game in hand, their fortunes in the Top 2 race are out in their hands. If RCB win their game against Lucknow Super Giants, they will surely finish in the Top 2. In the other match, if PBKS beat MI, they will finish in the top 2. However, if MI beat PBKS, they will have 18 points - same as GT - but they will finish in Top 2 thanks to a better Net Run Rate (NRR).
