Gill to miss Asia Cup

Sanju Samson will consider himself lucky that the selectors will back him for the Asia Cup. Shubman Gill, who was made India’s white-ball vice-captain last year, doesn’t look like an automatic choice. Abhishek Sharma is the world’s top-ranked batter, while Samson has been great in the last 12 months as well. Considering this, Gill might not make the cut.

Rohit-Kohli still needed in ODIs

Former India captain Suresh Raina has backed Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to continue in ODIs amid retirement reports. Raina feels Rohit and Kohli’s experience and leadership will be of great use in the dressing room, as they have come good for India in big moments and important matches.

CSK cheating?

CSK fans are fuming. Recently, Ravichandran Ashwin indirectly stated on his YouTube channel that the franchise paid Dewald Brevis under the table so that he would join them for IPL 2025 as Gurjapneet Singh’s injury replacement. CSK fans view the comment as a slight on the franchise, which Ashwin is expected to leave soon.

RR can’t trade Samson

Ravichandran Ashwin doesn’t think CSK will trade someone like Shivam Dube or Ravindra Jadeja to RR for Sanju Samson. Therefore, the chances of a potential trade happening between the two franchises seem impossible. Ashwin speculated about how RR will trade Samson to any franchise, given his Rs 18 crore price tag.

Rivzi’s chat with Dhoni

DC’s young star, Sameer Rizvi, has credited MS Dhoni for his maiden IPL half-century. Bought for Rs 8.4 crore at the IPL 2025 auction, Rizvi didn’t live up to the promise early on. But in the last match of the season, he scored a match-winning fifty. The 21-year-old says conversations with Dhoni have helped him immensely.
