Team India's premier spin-bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja found himself out of the ODI squad for the Sri Lanka series. With there being just 6 ODIs in Team India's schedule before next year's ICC Champions Trophy, head coach Gautam Gambhir wanted the team's veteran stars like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to be part of the tour to the island nation. However, no such demand was made for Jadeja who has been pretty consistent with his performances in the 50-over format. But now, a report has claimed that Jadeja is already out of Team India's plans in white-ball cricket. While he himself retired from T20Is, it is unlikely he would be considered for ODIs by selectors.
Deepika Kumari is torn between two worlds. One where the doting mother longs to be with her 19-month-old daughter Vedika, and another where the ace Indian archer craves for an elusive Olympic medal. But the resilience she showed in fusing those two different spaces in her life has taken Deepika to the Paris Games, the fourth showpiece in her career. Deepika's determination to achieve glory in the ultimate sporting event in the world was evident when she stayed away from her daughter for two months to finetune her preparation.

India pacer Arshdeep Singh feels that the legacy left behind by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's T20I retirements will be remembered for generations. The duo ended their shortest format career with a T20 World Cup title win against South Africa in Barbados last month. Arshdeep, who was part of the T20 World Cup-winning team, said their contributions in the batting department have always been an inspiration for cricketers across the world. Arshdeep is among the players who made their white-ball debut under Rohit's captaincy and played all their international cricket under his leadership.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are all set to appoint Abhishek Nayar and Ryan Ten Doeschate as assistant coaches of the Indian cricket team, according to a report by Cricbuzz. While no official statement has been issued by the team management, the report claims that both Nayar and Ten Doeschate will join new head coach Gautam Gambhir for the upcoming T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka. Nayar was the assistant coach for Kolkata Knight Riders while the former Dutch international also served as KKR's fielding coach when Gambhir served as mentor. T Dilip, who served as fielding coach under Rahul Dravid, is reportedly going to be retained in the new support staff as well.
India pacer Arshdeep Singh labelled the recent T20 World Cup title triumph as his favourite match of his career. The fast bowler played his first ICC final against South Africa in Barbados and returned with the figures of 2-20 in his four overs as India won the match by six runs in a thrilling clash. Arshdeep was not part of India's team that played the ODI World Cup final against Australia at Narendra Modi Stadium last year. The 25-year-old had not played in the IPL final also but the youngster showed no sign of pressure during the crunch situations and delivered for the team.
Star batter Virat Kohli is undoubtedly one of the greatest batters, not only in India but in the entire world. Known for aggressive style of batting, Kohli has broke numerous records in all three formats of game. Despite going through a lean patch at the T20 World Cup 2024, Kohli stood up in the finale and played an important 76-run knock and helped India lift the coveted title. Recently, former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik shared an unheard detail about Kohli.
