The achievements of India's women's cricket team in recent years have revolutionised perceptions towards women's sport, driving increased engagement, commercial success and financial stability, according to batsman Virat Kohli.
Indian superstar Virat Kohli has backed newly-appointed Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar to lead the side for a long time. Kohli, who has been with RCB since IPL's inception in 2008, led the franchise for more than a decade and remains its face. Patidar has succeeded Faf du Plessis as captain with the South African moving to Delhi Capitals this season. "This guy is going to lead you for a long time. He is going to do a great job. He has got everything that is required (to succeed)," Kohli said in his address to RCB's loyal fans at the team's Unbox event here on Monday.
Rishabh Pant is undeniably one of India's most important players in Test cricket, but did not have the best time with the bat during the disastrous 1-3 series loss at the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25. In fact, Pant was heavily criticised by legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar for getting out trying to play a fancy shot during the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Pant has now done a mimicry of Gavaskar's rant, and the video has gone viral on social media.
Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) team met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday. The meeting, attended by team owner Sanjiv Goenka and captain Rishabh Pant, was a courtesy visit where the Chief Minister extended his best wishes for the upcoming IPL season. During the meeting, CM Yogi Adityanath praised Lucknow Super Giants' past performances, highlighting the team's talent, discipline, and sportsmanship. He expressed confidence that the players would give their best and strive to lift the IPL 2025 trophy. “Lucknow Super Giants have showcased remarkable performances in previous seasons. This team represents dedication, discipline, and the true spirit of the game. I am hopeful that this season, too, the players will demonstrate their skills and make the state proud,” the Chief Minister said.
Ahead of starting their IPL 2025 campaign, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant said his endeavour is to create an environment in the side where people coming in can express themselves freely. LSG are set to play their first match of IPL 2025 season against Delhi Capitals, a team which Pant captained previously, on March 24 at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. “We want to create a place where people can come and express themselves. It's just a very simple idea. It's easier to say than to do it because it requires a lot of effort from each and every individual.”
Chennai Super Kings will be looking to clinch their record sixth title as the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side start their campaign in IPL 2025. The focus will once again be on MS Dhoni as rumours surrounding the former India captain's future continues to dominate headlines. However, with a fifth-place finish last year, both Dhoni and CSK will be looking for a much better show. CSK retained Gaikwad, Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Matheesha Pathirana and Shivam Dube ahead of the mega auction and then went on to buy a number of big-name players including veteran India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.
Former Indian cricket team skipper Sourav Ganguly urged Rohit Sharma to take more responsibility - both as skipper as well as batter - in the upcoming Test series against England. Rohit had a disastrous outing the series against Australia but the Champions Trophy 2025 triumph has more or less guaranteed his position as India captain. Ganguly praised Rohit's skills in white-ball cricket but quickly pointed out that India have not been that great in Test cricket off late. In a recent interaction, Ganguly sent a massive message to Rohit and asked him to turn things around for the side.
The Bangladesh cricket team will tour Pakistan for a white-ball series in May, which will include three T20Is and as many ODIs. The series will be held after the conclusion of the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League scheduled to take place from April 11 to May 18. Originally, the series was part of the Future Tours Program but had to be postponed due to the busy schedules of both teams. However, following recent discussions during the visit of Bangladesh Cricket Board Chairman, Farouq Ahmed, to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, both boards have agreed to go ahead with the series in May.
