Players Not Reluctant To Let Camera Peep Into Their Space Now: Anil Kumble

Legendary India spinner Anil Kumble says in this content-driven age, most of the modern-day cricketers are not averse to the idea of letting everyone know what's going on in their 'space' while Matthew Hayden reckons that a player's brand has become as powerful as that of an administrator or a broadcaster. The former India captain also agreed with the former Australia cricketer that players, who would earlier not agree to have a camera in their dressing room, will now be happy to hold the mic and discuss team strategies.

India's decorated spinner Anil Kumble believes that the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders need to move their record-breaking signing, Venkatesh Iyer, up in the batting order after his elongated dry spell with the bat continues in the 18th edition of the cash-rich league.

RR Feeling Jos Buttler's Absence, KKR Under-Utilising Andre Russell: Anil Kumble

Legendary Anil Kumble reckons Rajasthan Royals' decision to not retain Jos Buttler and Kolkata Knight Riders' improper utilisation of Andre Russell are factors that have contributed significantly to the struggles of the former IPL winners thus far. Having played eight matches each so far, the defending champions KKR have lost five while the Royals have endured defeats in six. In a select media interaction on Wednesday, JioStar expert Kumble said, "Jos Buttler is someone who sort of was the key player for Rajasthan Royals for a while. He was instrumental in single-handedly doing damage to the opposition."

Bought for Rs. 27 crore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction, Rishabh Pant has arguably been the biggest flop of the campaign so far. A lot was expected from the stylish left-hander who broke all salary records in the T20 league with his switch from the Delhi Capitals to Lucknow Super Giants. However, in both matches against DC, LSG suffered defeats under Pant's leadership. What was baffling on Tuesday was the fact that Pant came out to bat at the No. 7 spot, promoting the likes of Abdul Samad, Ayush Badoni, and David Miller over him.
