"If The Team Needs Me...": Cheteshwar Pujara's Big Claim On India's Upcoming England Tour

Cheteshwar Pujara hasn't played for India since the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at The Oval in June 2023. India's Test team passed through a lean phase and could not make a place in this year's WTC final. Speaking about India's England tour starting next month, Pujara said he would grab the opportunity if it comes his way. "If the team needs and I get the opportunity, I am prepared from my end. I have been working on my physical fitness, performing well in the country and domestic tournaments. Team India has been quite competitive, but has not won a series in England for around 20 years now, so given an opportunity, I would like to give the best from my end and grab the opportunity if the team needs me. This would be the perfect opportunity to contribute when a win is much needed in England," Pujara told Boria Majumdar on 'Backstage with Boria' season 6

"Should MS Dhoni Be Considered A Captain?" Ex-West Indies Star's Big Question For CSK

Former West Indies batter Daren Ganga has raised a big question on Chennai Super Kings' choice of continuing with MS Dhoni as captain. Notably, legendary skipper Dhoni led CSK to record-equalling five IPL titles. He stepped down from the role in the 2022 season and Ravindra Jadeja was handed over the regins. The team's poor performance under the new captain forced Jadeja to pass the baton back to Dhoni in between the season. Dhoni then went on to lead CSK in IPL 2023 before stepping down from the role once again the next season, handing over the duties to Ruturaj Gaikwad this time.

"Respect Is Earned": Rajasthan Royals Star's Gesture For Rohit Sharma, Ritika Sajdeh Breaks Internet

Rajasthan Royals (RR) pacer Akash Madhwal was spotted Mumbai Indians (MI) greeting Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika Sajdeh with folded hands after their IPL 2025 match on Thursday. MI took a giant steps towards the playoffs, thumping RR by 100 runs to occupy top spot in the IPL points table temporarily. Madhwal made his IPL debut under Rohit's leadership, impressing during the 2023 season. However, he struggled to find game time last season before being released by MI ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction, where he was bought up by RR for Rs 1.2 crore.

Big Surprise As Virat Kohli Names RCB Player Who Had 'Biggest Impact On Him' During Early Days

Star India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Virat Kohli recalled how former South African wicketkeeper-batter Mark Boucher had an impact on him during his initial years in the Indian Premier League (IPL), saying that his conversations with the Protean legend "stunned" him. RCB's leading run-getter in IPL history was speaking on RCB Podcast's upcoming episode, a trailer of which was released on the team's official X handle.

Ravi Shastri Urges BCCI Selectors To Consider In-Form IPL Star For England Tests

Former head coach Ravi Shastri sees young Sai Sudharsan an all-format batter, who deserves to be in the India side for the Test series against England later this year. India will start the new World Test Championship cycle (2025-2027) with an away five-Test series in England with all eyes on the squad selection following their 0-3 loss to New Zealand at home and a 1-3 defeat against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Tests. Shastri says Sudharsan, currently second on the list of highest IPL run-getters so far this season with 456 runs for Gujarat Titans, is a classy left-hander who will do well in English conditions given his technique and his county stint.

CSK Look To Spoil The Party As RCB Eye Edge In IPL 2025 Play-Offs Race

Royal Challengers Bengaluru have a provisional playoff berth in sight and Chennai Super Kings need a morale-lifting win. But beyond the team goals, the IPL match on Saturday offers the opportunity to see icons Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni battling against each other, perhaps, one final time in the league. Before delving into that possibility, a glance of the situation will reveal that RCB can swell their tally to 16 with a win, a position from where they potentially cannot falter in the race to the Qualifiers with three matches still remaining. A victory will instil some belief into an already ousted CSK unit that it can gain some late momentum and finish somewhere mid-table, and avoid the ignominy of being the wooden-spoon holders.

"Once Mumbai Indians Make It To Playoffs...": Ambati Rayudu Fires Big Warning To RCB, Others

After Munbai Indians sixth straight win of the season, former India batter Ambati Rayudu opined that the five-time champions' success come from smart planning and players sticking to their roles perfectly.
