Captain Shubman Gill Not On Field When Vaibhav Suryavanshi Was Thrashing GT Bowlers. Reason Is...

When Vaibhav Suryavanshi was raining fury on Gujarat Titans in an IPL 2025 match in Jaipur on Monday, the rival skipper Shubman Gill was not on the field. In fact, after top-scoring for GT with a 50-ball 84, the young captain was not on the field. Gill, who did not take the field during Rajasthan's innings, revealed that he was dealing with a minor back spasm. "Felt a little spasm in my back and we have a game a couple of days after this, so the physio didn't want to take a chance," he explained.

Sneh Rana, Pratika Rawal Star As India Clinch Narrow 15-Run Win Over South Africa

Spinner Sneh Rana grabbed three wickets in a single over for her maiden five-wicket haul on WODIs while Pratika Rawal excelled with a well-crafted fifty to shape India's 15-run win over South Africa in the Women's Tri-series on Tuesday. Rawal continued her rich vein of form with a measured 78 off 91 balls, helping India post a competitive 276 for six after skipper Harmanpreet Kaur elected to bat first under sunny skies. Rana then snared five wickets as South Africa were bowled out for 261 in 49.2 overs despite Tazmin Brits 109. South Africa lost their last five wickets for 21 runs, giving India their second consecutive victory in the tournament.

Shadman Islam's Ton Gives Bangladesh Lead In 2nd Test Against Zimbabwe

Bangladesh opener Shadman Islam smashed a century in the second Test against Zimbabwe on Tuesday, giving the hosts a lead of 64 runs at the end of the second day with three wickets in hand. Bangladesh were 291-7 at the close, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz (16) and Taijul Islam (5) remaining not out, in response to Zimbabwe's first innings total of 227. Shadman recorded a career-best knock of 120 and partnered with Anamul Haque in a first-wicket stand of 118 runs, only the 10th time that Bangladesh's openers had passed the 100-run mark in Tests. Despite Shadman's century, the other batsmen failed to exploit the dry and slow surface at Chattogram after a good start.

Nat Sciver-Brunt Appointed England Women's Cricket Captain Across All Formats

Nat Sciver-Brunt has been named the new captain of the England women's team. She succeeds Heather Knight, who left her role following England's 2025 women's Ashes series after a near nine-year tenure. She will lead in all three formats working alongside recently appointed head coach Charlotte Edwards. "I'm really proud to take on the role of captain of the England Women's team and it's an honour to have been asked by Charlotte, someone I've always looked up to. Ever since I made my England debut back in 2013, all I have wanted to do is help the team in every way that I can. I will try my best to lead this team to success, whilst empowering them to be the best version of themselves," she said.

KKR Star Unhappy With Coach Chandrakant Pandit Over Objection On Dining With Rival Player: Report

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) haven't found the same groove this season that saw them lift the Indian Premier League (IPL) title last term. The franchise only has three wins in nine matches, placing them 7th in the points table, in a bit of flux over playoff qualification. Even the team's pacer Harshit Rana said that the team doesn't have the same 'thrill' as it did in the last campaign when Gautam Gambhir was with the support staff. The situation, hence, raises many questions on the role of head coach Chandrakant Pandit, whose management style hasn't gone down well with multiple players.

"No Fear...": Vaibhav Suryavanshi's Audacious Remark After Slamming Record IPL Ton

After smashing a scintillating century against Gujarat Titans (GT), Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi, aged 14, expressed his happiness following the knock, saying that the accomplishment feels like a "dream" and there is no fear in his batting. Suryavanshi, aged just 14 years and 32 days, registered his name in cricket history books as the youngest centurion in T20 cricket and the fastest Indian centurion in IPL history, making a mockery of a 210-run chase along with his batting partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal. Speaking in the post-match presentation, Suryavanshi said, "It feels really good. It was my first century in the IPL in my third innings. What I've been practicing for the last three-four months, the result is showing. I don't see the ground so much, just focus on the ball. There is no fear. I do not think much about the bowlers, I just focus on playing."
