With his two centuries in the first match, Pant's tally of Test centuries in England reached four, just two shy of Rahul Dravid.

India risk 'losing Jasprit Bumrah forever' if he plays Edgbaston Test: 'He has a young family. If you break him...'
The 2nd Test between India and England at Edgbaston for the Anderson-Tendulkar is less than 24 hours away, and yet, there's no clarity over the status of Jasprit Bumrah. The India pacer, who took five wickets in the first innings of the Leeds Test, was always uncertain for the second Test, but the fact that he featured in two of India's three practice sessions, including the one on the eve of the Birmingham game, sends out mixed signals. The decision could have been a lot easier had India won the Leeds, but with the 2nd Test of the series starting in 8 days' time, not playing Bumrah could be catastrophic. Can India afford to go 0-2 down and bring Bumrah back for the Lord's Test? It's a big if. Will he or won't he? Jasprit Bumrah's availability for 2nd India vs England Test remains a mystery(Reuters) Do you think the Indian team management had made the decision which Tests Jasprit Bumrah was going to play and which ones he'll skip, even before they landed in England? Because this is where the grey area can start. India head coach Gautam Gambhir has come out and said that they are going to monitor his workload, but a premature decision may not be the best way forward for Team India. India have lost the first Test; emotions can get involved. "Should we play him? Should we not? Can we afford to go 0-2 down?" are some of the questions surrounding the Indian think tank at the moment. Despite the hoopla of workload management, a whopping fact emerged during the 1st Test between Australia and the West Indies last week. Bumrah has bowled the most number of overs in Test cricket since 2024. He has sent down 410.4 overs, followed by Mitchell Starc at second with 362.3 overs. Pat Cummins has bowled 359.1, Mohammed Siraj 355.3 and Gus Atkinson 328. Where is the management? "So they are managing his workload. But did you see that stat pop up? He has bowled the most amount of overs than any quick since 2024 in Test cricket," former Australia captain Alyssa Healy wondered on LiSTNR Sport podcast. "He has already had that surgery. And he's still having issues. As a human being that is worrying. He's got a life to live, he's got a young family and if you can't take part in normal life. If you undo that surgery by breaking him again, you've lost him forever. So that's where his workload is actually important. You saw him walk off at SCG. He knew. He was bowling fine but he knew his back was cooked. I just think they are going to play him – they need to win it and get some momentum back. But it's who you're putting around him to compliment him so that he doesn't need to do all the work is the more important question." Why Healy makes sense? Healy makes a staggering point. Yes, Bumrah is important. But is it worth taking the risk? India have a long Test season ahead, during which they will play series at home and abroad. Besides, Bumrah is a key factor in India's T20 World Cup defence next year and the 2027 World Cup 2027. As Healy pointed out, in 2022, Bumrah underwent back surgery, which kept him out of action for over a year. When he returned, he was a beast, bowling better than ever before. But despite going under the knife, Bumrah is not bulletproof – the back injury he sustained in Australia is an example – and hence, preserving him is their biggest hope. If he plays the Edgbaston Test, which again could last all five days, given the nature of the pitch, Bumrah risks injuring himself again. Either Bumrah skips the Lord's Test, which no player in their right mind would want to miss, or he sits out the one starting tomorrow. No way he's playing both this and the next one.

MS Dhoni's replacement? 'We are interested' - CSK official discloses plans to bring in an India wicketkeeper-batter
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have expressed strong interest in acquiring Rajasthan Royals skipper during the ongoing IPL 2026 trade window. The wicketkeeper-batsman, retained by RR for ₹18 crore, has emerged as one of the most sought-after Indian players, with multiple franchises reportedly approaching the Royals regarding a potential move. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While CSK has yet to formally initiate discussions with Rajasthan, a senior franchise official confirmed their intent to explore the possibility of bringing Samson into their fold. 'We are definitely looking at Sanju. He is an Indian batter, who is a keeper and an opener. So if he is available, we will certainly have a look at the option of having him in our fold. Who we will trade him with we have not taken that call because the matter has not gone that far. But yes, in principle, we are interested,' the CSK official told Cricbuzz . However, trade logistics remain complicated. Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK's newly appointed captain, who was also retained at ₹18 crore, could theoretically serve as a like-for-like swap. Yet, with head coach Stephen Fleming repeatedly describing Gaikwad's appointment as a long-term leadership decision, a trade involving the current CSK skipper seems unlikely. When will CSK legend MS Dhoni retire from IPL? Astrologer Greenstone Lobo predicts CSK, historically conservative in the trade market, have only made one notable swap in recent years, which was to bring in Robin Uthappa from RR in an all-cash deal before IPL 2021. Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals, fresh off a performance review meeting in London attended by newly appointed head coach Rahul Dravid, are evaluating multiple trade requests for several players. With both Samson and Dhruv Jurel in their ranks, the franchise is well-stocked in terms of top-order Indian wicketkeeper-batters. Poll Should CSK pursue a trade for Sanju Samson? Yes, he would strengthen the team. No, they should keep their current players. Any movement on this front is expected to take time and RR co-owner Manoj Badale is expected to have the final say on any prospective deal. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The IPL 2026 trading window is currently open, with strict regulations governing franchise negotiations, league fee adjustments, and player fitness assessments. All trades must also receive BCCI approval and adhere to the salary cap and contract rules set forth by the league.

'Really unhappy': Gukesh finally opens up about his performance at Norway Chess 2025
World Champion Gukesh has opened up on his performance at Norway Chess 2025. He also recalled his famous win against current World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen. read more World Chess Champion Dommaraju Gukesh has opened up about his performance at the Norway Chess 2025 tournament. In a conversation with ChessBase India, the 19-year-old spoke honestly about the ups and downs of his campaign, saying that while there were a few positives, there were also several things that didn't go well. Gukesh admitted that starting the tournament with two losses was tough, but he was glad to finish on a positive note. Gukesh began his tournament with a loss to World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen, followed by another defeat to fellow Indian GM Arjun Erigaisi. But he bounced back quickly by beating American GM Hikaru Nakamura in the third round, and later won an Armageddon game against Fabiano Caruana. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Can't say happy, but there are some things to be happy about, some things to be really unhappy about. One thing is starting so badly and finishing so well. In the final round, I had fair chances to win. Starting with two losses in a tournament like this, it's not great. Another thing to be happy about is, in general, when I am in good form, like everything just goes very smoothly, like in Candidates, Olympiad, when I am in my best form, things just happen naturally," Gukesh said. Gukesh on his win over Carlsen Gukesh's most special moment came in the sixth round when he defeated Carlsen in a classical game for the first time. The Norwegian made a big mistake in the endgame and Gukesh took full advantage to hand him a defeat. Carlsen was so upset that he slammed the table after the loss . 'One thing about Magnus is that even when he is in bad form, he finishes second or third maximum. So one thing that I can be happy about is, even though I was playing pretty badly, to be honest, I still had chances to win. I guess the thing to be unhappy about is simply that in some games, I was just misevaluating,' he said. 'For example, in many games, pretty much all the games, there were one or two big moments. But okay. That's a chess weakness. It's nice that we could notice it, because I can just work on that. Some things to be happy about, some things to be not happy about. Overall, I think it was a nice experience,' Gukesh added. Meanwhile, Gukesh has opted to withdraw from the Las Vegas Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour after struggling in the first two legs in Weissenhaus and Paris. Indian GM Vidit Gujrathi has been added as his replacement for the event.
