Olympian javelin thrower Shivpal Singh has failed a dope test for the second time in his career, a development which may see him being banned for a maximum period of eight years if found guilty. The 29-year-old, who competed at the Tokyo Olympics, is learnt to have returned positive for a banned substance when his urine sample taken out of competition earlier this year was tested. He was training at the NIS Patiala then. He has been provisionally suspended by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA).
Former India cricketer Yograj Singh said that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who retired from Test cricket earlier this month, must revoke their decision to save the country's red-ball cricket. The retirements of Rohit and Kohli leave the side without its most senior batters on the upcoming England tour, where India are scheduled to play a five-match Test series starting on June 20. The 67-year-old former cricketer, who has coached current players like Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma besides his son Yuvraj Singh, added that Kohli still has more years to give to cricket.
Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli stunned everyone as he announced his retirement from Test cricket just ahead of the series against England. Kohli, who retired from T20Is after the T20 World Cup 2024 triumph, is only active in the ODIs and his next big goal will be to play the 2027 World Cup. Following the announcement, there has been a lot of discussion about Kohli's future but former India head coach Ravi Shastri does not believe that the star batter will become a coach or broadcaster after bidding farewell to his playing career. In a recent interview, Shastri said that he believes Virat will walk away once he finishes playing and is unlikely to feature in any broadcasting or coaching jobs.
Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes Rishabh Pant will need to reassess his approach in T20 cricket after enduring a "nightmare" IPL season, squandering a vital opportunity to stake a stronger claim for a spot in India's T20 set-up. Pant, who is not a regular in India's T20 squad, was expected to make a mark this season. However, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper managed only 135 runs in 12 matches after being bought for a mammoth Rs 27 crore.
KL Rahul is likely to be considered for India's T20I series against Bangladesh, amid his stellar run with the bat in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign. For the unversed, Rahul's last T20I appearance came during the T20 World Cup semi-final against England in Adelaide. So far, Rahul has scored 493 runs in 11 matches at an average of 61.63, smashing three fifties and a century. According to a report in the Times of India (TOI), Rahul is set to be considered for Bangladesh T20Is as well when India's squad will be picked for the upcoming Test series against England.
Fighting for the only available play-off spot, Mumbai Indians will take on Delhi Capitals in a potentially decisive showdown on Wednesday with the five-time champion home team better-placed to advance against the erratic visitors. Sunrisers Hyderabad's six-wicket thrashing of Lucknow Super Giants on Monday ended the latter's chances of making the final four, leaving Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals to fight it out. Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers have taken the first three knockout phase spots. Both Mumbai Indians (14 points) and Delhi Capitals (13 points) are in control of their destiny for now, but it is the host side which starts favourite at the Wankhede Stadium.

Later, SRH did not face any hiccups in the chase as Abhishek Sharma slammed 59 runs off 20 balls and helped his side cross the line with 10 balls to spare.
