BENGALURU :With the weight of the England captaincy off his shoulders, Jos Buttler is relishing the experience of batting with freedom, the Gujarat Titans player said after his match-winning knock against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
After India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's decision to make a shock switch to Goa from Mumbai due to personal reasons, the star batter opened up on the reason behind his decision on Wednesday. "It was a very tough decision for me. Whatever I am today is because of Mumbai. The city has made me who I am, and all my life, I will be indebted to the MCA," Jaiswal told The Indian Express. "Goa has thrown me a new opportunity and it has offered me a leadership role. My first goal will be to do well for India and whenever I'm not on national duty, I will be playing for Goa and try to make them go deep into the tournament. This was an (important) opportunity which came my way and I just took it."
Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will aim to get back on the winning track when they face each other on Thursday in a rematch of Indian Premier League 2024 final. Both the teams have had a poor start so far in the 2025 season.

Playing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the first time after seven years with them was a bit emotional for Gujarat Titans' pacer Mohammed Siraj. But the pacer, after picking 3-19 and helping his team win by eight wickets at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, said he was all fired up after getting the ball in hand. Siraj brought the heat on with his pace going above 140 and attacked stumps while hitting good length areas consistently to pick a superb 3-19 in his four overs. He rattled RCB in the power-play by castling Devdutt Padikkal and Phil Salt, before taking out a rampaging Liam Livingstone in the fag end. “It was emotional because I played for seven years here (for RCB). There was some nervousness and some emotion, but the moment I got the ball in my hand, it was full-on (intensity). That I am here (ready for the contest through my celebration), and I am a Cristiano Ronaldo fan as well.”

Following the dismissal, Arshad Warsi's comment section on social media platform Instagram was flooded with messages from Virat fans. "Kohli ko out kyun kiya," one fan commented on Warsi's latest Instagram post, which also featured fellow Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn.

In a video which has gone viral, Dhawan is asked by an anchor about his girlfriend and her name. While Dhawan initially resists the anchor's question, he finally says: "I will not take any name.
