BENGALURU : Sunil Chhetri's decision to come out of retirement to play for India again came as no surprise given the forward's outstanding performances in the Indian Super League this season, Bengaluru FC's Spanish midfielder Alberto Noguera has said.
LONDON : Jon Lewis has left his role as England women's team coach, the country's cricket board (ECB) said on Friday, more than a month after his side were whitewashed 16-0 by Australia in the Ashes.
Mark Boucher, the former South Africa cricketer who served as Mumbai Indians head coach in last two seasons of the IPL, said the side always looks a lot better when Jasprit is there, adding that his absence for the initial matches of IPL 2025 isn't a great sign for them. Bumrah is currently undergoing rehab at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (formerly the National Cricket Academy) in Bengaluru for a lower back injury which prevented him from bowling in the second innings of fifth Test at Sydney. Since then, Bumrah has been out of action and even missed India's triumphant Champions Trophy campaign.
Former sports minister Anurag Thakur's bid to contest the Boxing Federation of India's presidential election was brought back on track after the Himachal Pradesh High Court stayed his disqualification from the Electoral College and directed the BFI to extend the date of nominations to enable his candidature. Thakur, who is also a Lok Sabha MP from Hamirpur, was declared ineligible after a March 7 order by BFI President Ajay Singh which stated that only elected members were qualified to be a part of the electoral process.
Jwala Singh, the formative coach of Yashasvi Jaiswal, believes the IPL season will be key to the opener's bid to reclaim a spot in India's squad for next year's T20 World Cup. The 23-year-old Jaiswal has impressed in Tests but faces stiff competition in the T20I setup, with openers Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma in solid form for the national team. The T20 showpiece will be co-hosted by defending champions India and Sri Lanka from February to March in 2026. "He has played a lot of T20s for India, with many fifties at a good strike rate, but in the last 2-3 series, he was rested, I can say that.
NEW DELHI : India has submitted an "expression of interest" to stage the 2030 Commonwealth Games, potentially the perfect dress rehearsal for the country's bigger dream of hosting the Olympic Games six years later.
Though Hardik Pandya will miss Mumbai Indians' opening game in IPL 2025 against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday in Chennai due to a one-match suspension carrying forward from last year's IPL, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh believes the all-rounder's belief in himself to do things separates him from others. IPL 2025 shapes up as an important tournament for Pandya, the IPL 2022 winning captain who had a torrid last season in every aspect. The decision taken by MI management to make him the captain in place of Rohit Sharma after coming in from the Gujarat Titans resulted in the crowd booing the all-rounder in first half of IPL 2024, even as the five-time champions finished last in the points table.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have stirred a big controversy ahead of the start of IPL 2025, seemingly taking a dig at Mumbai Indians (MI) over their captaincy saga last year. RCB appointed Rajat Patidar as the captain of the franchise ahead of IPL 2025, following Faf du Plessis' release last year. During his official unveil as captain, Patidar received video messages from his predecessors, including Faf and Virat Kohli, who wished him good luck for the season. However, RCB's 'Mr Nags' decided to take a cheeky jibe at MI over the same sequence.
