As Virat Kohli gears up for the crucial ODI series against New Zealand, his brother Vikas has fired a sharp retort at critics, saying ‘daal roti nahi chalti’ without using Virat’s name. Here’s what it all means for Team India.
Following emergency abdominal surgery, star batter Tilak Varma has been officially ruled out of the first three T20Is against New Zealand. While he’s recovering well, his availability for the remainder of the series—and the crucial T20 World Cup 2026—remains uncertain.
Trailing at 90/7, Jammu & Kashmir looked dead and buried—until Auqib Nabi unleashed a breathtaking, unbeaten 114 off just 65 balls to script one of the most astonishing comebacks in Vijay Hazare Trophy history.
Despite being the leading wicket-taker in the SA20, Ottneil Baartman’s omission from South Africa’s T20 World Cup 2026 squad has sparked major controversy, with heavyweights JP Duminy and Dale Steyn publicly questioning the selectors’ logic.
Ruturaj Gaikwad just rewrote the List A record books—becoming the fastest to 5,000 runs and notching his 20th century in only 95 innings, surpassing legends like Virat Kohli and Babar Azam.

Great news for Team India fans: rising star Tilak Varma is recovering faster than expected from a minor surgery and is likely to return to training within 7–10 days. His coach confirms he remains on track for the T20 World Cup and could feature in the upcoming New Zealand T20I series.
