England star Danielle Wyatt-Hodge had crated quite a flutter on social media back in 2014 when she proposed to Virat Kohli on social media platform X.

Of all the big names, that several reports have claimed will not be in the IPL 2025 retention list - KL Rahul is probably the most senior India player. KL Rahul is not only a wicketkeeper-batter but was also the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants in the last couple of seasons. In the past, Rahul has led Punjab Kings also. While his form in international cricket has dwindled a bit, KL rahul remains a great asset.
A major development has emerged from the Indian Premier League (IPL), with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) set to re-appoint Virat Kohli as the franchise's captain. Kohli, who captained the Bengaluru side from 2013 to 2021, decided to give up the responsibility after the season 14th edition of the T20 league. RCB were led by South African cricketer Faf du Plessis from 2022 to 2024. But, ahead of the mega auction, a big change is being brought in, with Kohli set to take the leadership role again.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) need a wicket-keeper batter after the retirement of Dinesh Karthik. With KL Rahul all but set to be released by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), the India star has been linked with a return to RCB, a franchise he started his IPL career with. Being a local boy, Rahul is undoubtedly a natural choice for the spot behind the stumps for the Royal Challengers. However, the auction dynamics don't make it easy for any franchise to go out and get a player of its choice. Yet, RCB dropped a massive hint ahead of the IPL retention announcements.
Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has recalled the time when star India batter Virat Kohli had blocked him from Instagram. While the two have become good friends after playing four seasons together at Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), there was a time when Kohli and Maxwell had their differences. For the unversed, RCB acquired the services of Maxwell for a whopping INR 14.25 crore ahead of IPL 2021. He enjoyed a successful season with the bat, scoring over 500 runs to help RCB reach the playoffs.
