India stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are set to continue their A+ grade BCCI central contract list for 2025-26, while Shreyas Iyer is expected to return to the list after being dropped on the previous occasion due to reportedly missing domestic cricket. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is looking to retain Virat and Rohit in the A contract, which will see them earn Rs 7 crore despite the duo's retirement from the T20I format. Rohit and Virat had their last dance in the format after ending India's ICC trophy drought by lifting the T20 World Cup last year in Barbados.

Pakistan Star Batters Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman Pick Toughest Bowlers They Faced

Pakistan's ODI captain Mohammad Rizwan chose India's prime pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, as the bowler who has caused him difficulty in the present scenario. For his fellow compatriot Fakhar Zaman, it is English tearaway Jofra Archer when he has the new ball in his hand. In a special show, Rizwan, Fakhar and Naseem Shah had a candid chat with former Pak pacer Wahab Riaz playing the host's role. Wahab posed a question to Pakistan's famed cricketing faces and asked them the 'most difficult player' they had faced.

Suryakumar Yadav became just the fifth player for India to cross the 8000-run landmark in the T20 format following his scorching display in the Indian Premier League. The unorthodox batter achieved the feat during Mumbai Indians' 8-wicket triumph over the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the ongoing 18th edition of the IPL.

Suryakumar, with his dynamism and swagger, came in to leave the spectators mesmerised with his explosive cameo to steer MI to its first win of the season.

Borrowed Rs 30 For Auto, Rejected By KKR, CSK, RR: MI's Ashwin Kumar Sets IPL On Fire

Mumbai Indians seem to have unleashed another pace sensation in the form of Ashwani Kumar, who made a dream debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) Monday, delivering a match-winning performance against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The young seamer from Jhanjheri, Mohali, was the star with the ball, picking up 4/24 in his three-over spell and playing an instrumental role in restricting KKR to 116. Bought for his base price of INR 30 lakh in the IPL mega auction, Ashwani has had to go through severe hardships before making an explosive debut in the IPL.

CSK Served Brutal 'Playing XI' Warning After Loss vs Rajasthan Royals: " Don't Like..."

Chennai Super Kings faced brutal criticism from former Indian cricket team opener Aakash Chopra after their loss against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025 on Sunday. CSK faltered in their chase of 183 and although skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a half-century, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and even MS Dhoni was dismissed on the first ball of the final over. With two losses in three games, CSK are currently seventh in the points table and Chopra was not happy with their team composition. He questioned the decision to include Jamie Overton in place of Sam Curran and also pointed out that the England all-rounder ended up bowling just two overs in the match.

"With The Impact Player Rule...": Kane Williamson's Big Praise For MI After KKR Win

At a time when teams are amassing big totals with consummate ease in the IPL, Mumbai Indians have bowled out Kolkata Knight Riders for 116 in their latest face-off, an effort that has left New Zealand star Kane Williamson highly impressed. MI won the game by eight wickets on Monday to open their account in the ongoing edition of the league after starting it with two successive reverses. "It was a complete performance. Winning the toss, bowling first, and executing their plans beautifully. Bringing in an extra seamer, Ashwani, who was outstanding. They took wickets consistently, and I think that was the most pleasing aspect," said Williamson on JioHotstar.

"Recommended Aniket Verma, Priyansh Arya, Etc. To CSK": Scout Makes Explosive Revelation

Chennai Super Kings are having a tough time in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The five-time champions opened their campaign with a thumping win over the arch-rivals Mumbai Indians but then succumbed against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals. In both the losses, CSK's batting lineup faltered and failed to take the side across the line. To make the matters worse, the legendary MS Dhoni, who was once considered as one of the best finishers, also could not perform as per the expectations.

"MS Dhoni Average, Rishabh Pant Error-Prone": Grok AI Drops Myth-Buster On 'Dhoni Review System'

MS Dhoni is arguably the most astute wicket-keeper among the ones playing today. Over the years, the India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend has built up this reputation after several masterstroke DRS (Decision Review System) calls by him saw the original decision overturned by the umpire. Even in IPL 2025, Dhoni has proved his class, as his suggestion for a DRS saw a decision overturned. This has even led to fans labelling it as 'Dhoni Review System' at times. However, is Dhoni really a master? AI does not think so.
