"Lose Between 7 To 10 Kgs": Prithvi Shaw Sent 'Complete Overhaul Message'

Prithvi Shaw is certainly going through the toughest time in his cricket career. The right-handed batter, once touted to be the "next Sachin Tendulkar", could not find any takers at the IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia held last month. The 2018 U-19 World Cup-winning captain was seen as the next big thing in Indian cricket, but his downfall in the past few years has taken him out of consideration for the Indian cricket team. Shaw was even dropped from Mumbai's Ranji Trophy squad before going unsold at the IPL auction at a base price of Rs 75 lakh. He is currently playing for Mumbai in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy but has failed to impress with his game so far.

'Some Commentators...': Pat Cummins' Blunt Take On Rumours Of Split In Australia Team

The notion of divide within the Australia camp began when seasoned pacer Josh Hazlewood, on Day 3 of the Perth Test, said, "You probably have to ask one of the batters that question. I'm sort of relaxing and trying to get a bit of physio and a bit of treatment, and I'm probably looking mostly towards the next Test and what plans we can do against these batters." Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Cummins said that the team is looking great and some of the commentators got that 100 per cent wrong. He added that the team don't make too much of these rumours.

Ryan Rickelton Hits First Test Ton For South Africa Against Sri Lanka

New Zealand vs England 2nd Test Day 1 Live Score Updates

New Zealand vs England 2nd Test, Day 1 Live Updates: New Zealand named an unchanged team Thursday as they look to hit back in the second Test against England, resisting the urge to recall batsman Will Young or field a specialist spinner. A day after the visitors announced they would play the same XI that won the series-opener in Christchurch by eight wickets, the Black Caps followed suit for the match starting in Wellington on Friday. Four seamers will spearhead the home attack despite spin being the decisive factor in the most recent Test at the Basin Reserve. (Live Scorecard)

"He Wasn't Drunk...": On Vinod Kambli's Viral Reunion With Sachin Tendulkar, Old Friend Clears Air

One video that went viral from the unveiling of legendary cricket coach Ramakant Achrekar's memorial in Mumbai, had two of his famous students - Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli - meeting after a long time.
