Sanju Samson's T20 World Cup selection is lauded by former selector Srikkanth, who urges him to convert starts into big scores.

Srikkanth also highlighted India's formidable batting, calling it "intimidating and devastating."
Yuzvendra Chahal went viral after sharing an emotional post about buying a new BMW Z4 M40i with his parents, as he called their presence "the real luxury." Retained by Punjab Kings for IPL 2026, Chahal has been out of India's plans since 2023. He recently missed the SMAT final due to dengue and chikungunya, but the spinner promised a strong return.
Andrew Strauss says sacking Ben Stokes or Brendon McCullum will not solve England's repeated Ashes failures in Australia. The former captain, England's last Ashes winner Down Under, believes deeper structural changes are needed. With England 3-0 down again, Strauss warned against knee-jerk reactions and urged reforms to fix a long-standing system problem.
Karnataka all-rounder Krishnappa Gowtham has retired from all forms of cricket after a 14-year career. Known for power-hitting and off-spin, he took over 320 domestic wickets, played one T20I for India, and featured for several IPL teams. His standout moment came with a stunning all-round show in the 2019 Karnataka Premier League.
Ishan Kishan has been named captain of Jharkhand for the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025/26, starting this Wednesday. Fresh from leading Jharkhand to their maiden SMAT title with 517 runs, Kishan will also keep wickets. His strong domestic form has earned him a recall to India's T20 World Cup 2026 squad as a backup wicketkeeper.
