Gill wants more power

In the aftermath of the South Africa whitewash, Shubman Gill has urged the BCCI to grant him more power. The Indian Test captain wants more time for preparation. He’s suggested holding 15-day red-ball camps before the home Test series. Gill wants to shoulder more responsibility and call the shots, like his predecessors.

ICC thinking about BCB vs BCCI

The ICC are in no hurry to accept Bangladesh’s request to shift their 2026 T20 World Cup matches from Kolkata, India. BCB had cited security concerns while seeking relocation after BCCI cancelled Mustafizur Rahman’s contract with KKR. ICC don’t want to be involved in a tiff between BCB and BCCI. They also realise the logistical challenge of shifting venues.

Laxman in Test cricket

VVS Laxman might take the centre stage soon. The BCCI is planning to use the services of the head of the Centre of Excellence (CoE). During times when Gautam Gambhir might be busy with white-ball cricket, and there isn’t much time to prepare for Test cricket, Laxman might set up and organise red-ball camps for Team India.

No VHT for Kohli

Virat Kohli won’t feature in the Delhi vs Railways match on January 6. The former India captain had played two matches for Delhi, on December 24 and December 26, and was reportedly to play another game. But that won’t be happening. Instead, he’ll join Team India’s camp on January 7 in Vadodara.

RCB homecoming happening?

Renovation of M Chinnaswamy Stadium is underway. To comply with safety guidelines, KSCA is widening entry and exit gates, improving internal movement corridors, and installing globally accepted emergency evacuation systems. The renovations are expected to be completed by February, after which the stadium will be inspected by state authorities, and only then will it be cleared for hosting matches. In the meantime, RCB is in talks with MCA Stadium in Pune, in case M Chinnaswamy Stadium doesn’t get clearance.

With nine wickets down for just 64, Royal Challengers Bengaluru were staring down the barrel of humiliation. In a rain-shortened 14-over clash against Punjab Kings at the Chinnaswamy, the memories of their infamous 49 all-out threatened to resurface. But Tim David had other plans. His unbeaten 50 off 26 balls wasn’t just a rescue act—it was a declaration. Tim David’s best IPL knock On a night when RCB’s other ten batters combined for just 44 runs, David stood tall to hammer 50 runs off 26 alone. Remember he was picked up for just Rs 3 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction! Bargain stuff. The surface wasn’t easy, and Punjab’s bowlers made life tougher. Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal bowled unchanged spells, choking RCB’s top and middle order with smart variations. The scoreboard read 36/5 at one point, with batters falling to mistimed slogs and mistreated short balls. But amid the chaos, David brought calm and calculation. RCB were 74/9 when David took strike for the final over. Wha...
