ENG vs IND U19 ODI: Suryavanshi stars as India beat England by 4 wickets
Teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi continued his rich vein of form by smashing a record nine sixes as India defeated England by four wickets in a rain-truncated third U19 Youth ODI to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series here on Wednesday. The 14-year-old Suryavanshi, who had come close to striking half-centuries in the previous two games before getting dismissed in his 40s, finally made his innings count as he clobbered the home team bowling on way to 86 off just 31 deliveries as India chased down England's 268/6 in 34.3 overs. Suryavanshi's innings was studded with six boundaries and nine maximums. In fact, nine sixes by Suryavanshi is the highest number of maximums hit by an Indian batter in an U-19 ODI eclipsing the previous record of eight sixes by Mandeep Singh. India suffered a slump in the middle overs with the team reduced to 199 for 6 in the 24th over before bowling all-rounder Kanishk Chouhan (3/30), who had taken three England wickets earlier, hit an unbeaten 43 (42 balls) and shared an unbroken 75-run stand with RS Ambrish (31 not out) guided the team to victory. Suryavanshi ravaged every single bowler that bowled to him and made his intentions clear when he smacked right-arm pacer Sebastian Morgan for two consecutive sixes in the third over. Morgan came in for some harsh punishment again in his subsequent over when he was hit two more sixes and a boundary by the 14-year-old batting sensation, who has been on a roll since showing his precocious talent in the IPL for Rajasthan Royals. England left-arm pacer James Minto bore the brunt of Raghuvanshi's fury in the sixth over, going for 23 runs, which included three sixes and a boundary. When Suryavanshi was finally dismissed, caught by Joseph Moores off right-arm pacer Alexander Wade, India had wiped off 111 runs from the target in only the eighth over. Raghuvanshi's departure saw India struggle a bit in the middle overs before Kanishk and Ambrish played with caution to guide the team home with 33 balls to spare. Earlier, England skipper Thomas Rew smashed an unbeaten 76 (44 balls) while opener Ben Dawkins struck form with a fine 62 as the hosts scored a competitive 268 for 6 after the match was delayed due to a wet outfield. Dawkins, a right-handed batter, following two successive below-par scores, gave England the start they needed after they were put into bat by the visitors on an overcast day. Dawkins and his left-handed opening partner Isaac Mohammed (41 off 43 balls) displayed immense calm playing the moving ball as they stitched together a 78-run partnership at the top to give the hosts the start they needed. Isaac's dismissal did not slow down the flow of runs as the next batter in Ben Mayes played an almost run-a-ball innings scoring 31 (32) to guide England to 133/2 by the 22nd over. The 55-run partnership for the second wicket between Dawkins and Mayes really gave the home team the momentum, which was later capitalised by skipper Rew as he launched into the Indian bowling attack by playing some cracking shots that left the visitors searching for ideas. Brief scores: England U-19: 174 all out in 42.2 overs (Isaac Mohammed 41, BJ Dawkins 62, Ben Mayes 31, Thomas Rew 76 not out, Ralphie Albert 21; Kanishk Chouhan 3/30) lost to India U-19: 274 for 6 in 34.3 overs (Vaibhav Suryavanshi 86, Vihaan Malhotra 46, Rahul Kumar 27, Kanishk Chouhan 43 not out, RS Ambrish 31not out; Alexander Wade 2/58).

Meet woman who supported Dhoni to pursue his cricket career, married former CSK captain's best friend, now works as..., she is...
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is one of the most cherished cricketers in the history of Indian cricket. He has performed incredibly well in his career and has brought Indian cricket to new heights. But a lot of people helped him become who he is. His sister is one of his biggest supporters, and really, she has been there from the beginning of his career to this day. But who is MS Dhoni's sister? What is her name? And what does she do for a living? Know more about her…. MS Dhoni has a sister named Jayanti Gupta. According to various media reports, Jayanti is reportedly about 3-4 years older than him. Jayanti has always been a great supporter of his brother. One such instance is being a big part of his rise in his cricketing career. Even when Dhoni received no support from their father, he had support from his sister. Although social media attention often highlights Dhoni's name in cricket, Jayanti has always chosen to live outside the spotlight. Jayanti Gupta lives a simple life and is reported to work as an English teacher in Ranchi, their hometown. She is married to Gautam Gupta, one of Dhoni's oldest and closest friends. Gautam played a huge role in Dhoni's cricket career and supported him very much throughout his state career too. Their friendship was even acted out in the movie, 'MS Dhoni – The Untold Story.' Dhoni was last seen in action while leading the Chennai Super Kings in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He took over the captaincy midway through the tournament after designated skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury. According to the news agency ANI report, Dhoni's unbeaten 183* against Sri Lanka in 2005 remains the highest score by a wicketkeeper in the format. With over 10,000 ODI runs at an astonishing average of 50.57, his legacy with the bat is as impactful as it is the stumps, Dhoni was a phenomenon. His lightning-fast stumpings and razor-sharp anticipation revolutionised wicketkeeping in limited-overs cricket. Overall, he boasts 17,266 international runs, 829 dismissals and 538 matches across formats for India.

Virat Kohli's RCB To Lock Horns With Babar Azams Peshawar Zalmi As Champions League T20 Could Finally Return As World Club Championship: Reports
Cricket fans around the world could be in for a treat as the long-dormant Champions League T20 is reportedly being revived in a brand-new format. According to a report by The Cricketer, a revamped version of the tournament is likely to return in 2026 under a new name World Club Championship promising a clash of the world's top T20 franchises. New Format, Global Reach Unlike its previous avatar which fizzled out in 2014 due to poor viewership and scheduling issues, the World Club Championship aims to become a truly global T20 league, featuring top teams from various franchise competitions including: - IPL (India) - BBL (Australia) - PSL (Pakistan) - SA20 (South Africa) - The Hundred (England) With backing from top cricket boards and stakeholders, this edition is expected to be bigger, better, and far more engaging than before. Kohli's RCB vs Babar's Zalmi? A Dream Clash The prospect of Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) going head-to-head with Babar Azam's Peshawar Zalmi has already sparked excitement online. Without the pressures of international rivalry, fans may finally get to see two of the modern-day greats square off in franchise cricket a sight that promises pure cricketing entertainment. ICC, BCCI, ECB On Board The project reportedly has the ICC Chairman Jay Shah's approval, while both the BCCI and ECB are already on board. An interesting detail is that the ECB wants the winners of The Hundred to represent England instead of the Vitality Blast champions, adding more glamor and international appeal to the tournament. A Tournament for the Future Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, ECB CEO Richard Gould suggested that the tournament is more a matter of 'when' than 'if.' 'That is on the cards. Without doubt, at some point, there will be a World Club Championship for both men and women. That's the next logical step,' Gould said. What Went Wrong Last Time? The Champions League T20 originally launched in 2009 and ran until 2014. Despite involving top teams and players, the event struggled due to scheduling challenges, lack of local interest, and poor TV ratings especially outside of India. Ironically, the dominance of the IPL at the time was seen as one of the reasons for its downfall, as fans largely preferred their own leagues over watching neutral franchise contests.
