Mint22-05-2025
Legendary Sunil Gavaskar is one of the few cricketers who isn't afraid of speaking his heart out. Recently, the former India captain acknowledged a viral social media meme and gave birth to another in a hilarious conversation involving another ex-cricketer Robin Uthappa and sports presenter Mayanti Langar during one of the shows in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL).
Gavaskar is already a part of a famous social media meme where the colour of Mayanti's dress is same as that of the former cricketer's trousers. For a change, on Wednesday, Mayanti's dress colour matched that of Uthappa's trousers, leading to Gavaskar's hilarious observation.
'I just want to ask, Robin, why is he wearing Mayanti's trousers?' stated Gavaskar. Reacting to that, both Mayanti and Uthappa were left in splits inside the studio. 'I wanted to take the attention away from you,' Uthappa responded before Gavaskar added, 'I am supposed to be wearing the trousers.'
'Today, our stylist had the conversation. Not yours and mine. Screen shot this, Make this the meme now. But, brilliant observation Sunny ji!' Mayanti stated.
The trio of Gavaskar, Uthappa and Mayanti are currently working for the hosts broadcasters for the IPL 2025. The 18th season of the world's richest franchise T20 league is at its business end with Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians confirming their playoff spots.

Entire nation will be angry if India plays Pakistan in Asia Cup: Ex-RCB wicketkeeper

Former wicketkeeper Shreevats Goswami has urged India not to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup, even if they decide to participate in the T20 tournament. The former Royal Challengers Bengaluru cricketer said the entire country would be angered if India proceeds with their scheduled match against Pakistan on 14 to boycott the Asia Cup have been growing ever since the Asian Cricket Council announced the schedule of the continental tournament on Saturday, 25 July. The Asia Cup is set to be held in the UAE from 9 to 28 September, with the marquee India vs Pakistan clash scheduled for 14 and Pakistan could potentially face each other up to three times in the Asia Cup. The two sides could meet again on 22 September if both qualify for the Super Fours, and possibly in the final — a stage where they have never previously met in the tournament's history. Sources told India Today in June that India would neither host nor participate in the Asia Cup in the aftermath of the terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and said India are taking part in the Asia Cup solely because it supports the financial stability of other Asian Cricket Council members. Although the BCCI hold the hosting rights for the Asia Cup, they have opted to stage the tournament at a neutral venue."My read on the Asia Cup going forward is India to & must forfeit the game against Pakistan & let them qualify. We don't need to win the Asia Cup. The only reason India is participating [is] because it helps other nations economically, or else I don't see any reason. Ideally this is what should & must happen & if India decides to play against Pak it will make the nation angry! It should!" Shreevats Goswami wrote in a post on remarks came just hours after former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria questioned why India were prepared to face Pakistan in the Asia Cup, while Indian players had boycotted the World Championship of Legends match against Pakistan earlier in the 22 April terrorist attack claimed the lives of 26 civilians, mostly tourists, after gunmen opened fire following questions about the victims' religious identity. The Resistance Front (TRF), also known as Kashmir Resistance, initially claimed responsibility but later denied involvement as tensions between India and Pakistan escalated. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) identified TRF chief Sheikh Sajjad Gul as the mastermind behind the retaliation, India launched Operation Sindoor on 7 May, targeting nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This marked a sharp military escalation, including cross-border attacks and strikes on Pakistani bases, which de-escalated after a bilateral deal to cease hostilities. Later in May, India dispatched seven multi-party delegations to 33 global capitals, including Washington, to highlight Pakistan's links to terrorism and garner international Asia Cup will feature eight teams, two more than the previous edition, which India won in 2023. India have been drawn alongside Pakistan, the UAE and Oman. Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Hong Kong comprise the other group. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the Super Fours stage, with the top two from that round advancing to the final on 28 September.- EndsMust Watch

Rishabh Pant arrives in crutches at Old Trafford; will India batter join the fight as visitors push to save 4th Test?

Rishabh Pant's chances of batting in the second innings of the fourth Test on the fifth day looked bleak as the Indian vice-captain arrived in crutches on Sunday at Old Trafford. Pant, who took a hit while batting on the opening day of the Test match, has fractured his toe and wasn't in a situation to even stand. Despite the unbearable pain, Pant came out to bat on the second day, after having strong pain killers and scored a fifty. Dhruv Jurel has been keeping wickets for India in the Test match. While it was unclear whether Pant would bat or not, he might nit have to come out padded up unless India suffer a miraculous collapse. In a picture shared on social media by his Indian Premier League (IPL) Lucknow Super Giants, Pant was seen walking in crutches with his training kit on. After having conceded a first-inning lead of 311 runs, India started their second innings on a disastrous note losing both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan departing with no runs on board. Captain Shubman Gill and KL Rahul revived the Indian ship with a 188-run stand for the third wicket before the latter missed century by 10 runs. Gill too perished after completing his hundred. Since then its all about all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, who have forged an unbeaten century-run stand to fight against England. If assumptions are to be believed In case the ongoing partnership is broken, Shardul Thakur will come out to bat before the pacers - Anshul Kamboj , Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj - come in, before Pant might arrive. Notably, all are capable of surviving the English bowling attack in the middle.
