Former cricketer urges ‘fittest, meanest and strongest’ Rohit Sharma to not play as Impact Sub in IPL 2026

Mumbai: Since India’s ODI series against New Zealand earlier this year, Rohit Sharma has been training intensively, focusing on fitness ahead of the ODI World Cup 2027. The upcoming IPL season offers the five-time title-winning captain a chance to showcase his form and strengthen his case for selection. In the previous IPL edition, Rohit mostly featured as an Impact Sub. This time, Aakash Chopra believes the opener should play full matches and support captain Hardik Pandya on the field whenever leadership guidance is needed. Chopra also noted that Rohit is currently “the fittest, meanest and probably at his strongest” and…

KKR sign Blessing Muzarabani for IPL 2026, Zimbabwe pacer leaves PSL contract

Kolkata: Kolkata Knight Riders have roped in Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani for IPL 2026, replacing Bangladesh’s Mustafizur Rahman, who was released in line with BCCI guidelines. The 29-year-old had been part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s title-winning campaign in IPL 2025 but was released ahead of the auction.

He had initially gone unsold in the PSL auction as well, but Islamabad approached him after releasing Shamar Joseph amid controversy.

Rajeev Shukla explains BCCI’s stance on Sunrisers Leeds signing Pakistan’s Abrar Ahmed in The Hundred

New Delhi: Sunrisers Leeds signed Pakistan leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed for 190,000 pounds on Thursday, March 12, for the upcoming The Hundred. The development drew significant attention, as the Indian owners have refrained from investing in Pakistani talent over the last few years.

That move eventually triggered strong reactions online, with some fans in India expressing anger and even calling for a boycott of Sunrisers Hyderabad during the IPL season. Soon after criticism gained traction on social media, the…

Salman Agha’s stupidity triggers heated moment, Pakistan-Bangladesh’s newfound ‘love’ turns ugly | WATCH

Dhaka: Pakistan batter Salman Agha was left stunned and furious after Mehidy Hasan Miraz tricked and dismissed him in the second ODI between Bangladesh and Pakistan at the Sher-E-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka. The tense moment unfolded on the 39th over of the first innings when Mohammad Rizwan played a straight drive, which was stopped by Miraz using his leg. Interestingly, Agha, who was out of his crease, bent to pick up the ball and pass it to Miraz but the Bangladesh all-rounder had another plan in mind. Miraz quickly collected it and underarm threw at the stumps. With Agha still…

South Africa, stupidest team in T20 World Cup, should have eliminated India, says Michael Vaughan

New Delhi: Former England captain Michael Vaughan has stirred debate with a blunt assessment of South Africa’s campaign at the T20 World Cup 2026, arguing that their own decision-making indirectly cleared the path for India’s title run. His argument centred on South Africa’s victory over West Indies in Ahmedabad, a result that confirmed the Proteas’ qualification for the semi-final, while also shaping the qualification scenario for other teams in the group. At that point in the tournament, India had suffered a heavy 76-run defeat to South Africa, a setback that left the side on the verge of elimination. Their route…
