WCL 2025 Points Table: South Africa lead World Championship of Legends standings; India placed last
World Championship of Legends 2025 Standings: With the World Championship of Legends (WCL) moving to its business end, the race for the semifinal spot intensifies as three out of the four berths have been confirmed with just two more league games remaining. Leading the charts are South Africa Champions, led by AB de Villiers, who have won four out of their five league matches. Their only loss came against Pakistan Champions, who sit second with three wins in their four games. South Africa Champions have eight points while Pakistan Champions have seven as their league game against India was called off and ended in a no result. Earlier, the India Champions vs Pakistan Champions match was cancelled by the organisers after several India Champions stars called for a boycott of their opening contest in the tournament. Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan announced his decision not to feature in the match in Birmingham late on Saturday through social media, owing to the geopolitical conflicts that have arisen post the Pahalgam terror attacks in April this year. The Yuvraj Singh-led India Champions are having a horrendous tournament, with the side reeling at the bottom of the WCL points table with three losses in four games, with the solitary point coming in from the no-result game against Pakistan. India lost their match against South Africa by 88 runs in a rain-curtailed match by the DRS method. Then they went on to lose by four wickets against Australia Champions before being handed a 23-run loss by England Champions. Australia Champions, with two wins and one no-result game, have also advanced to the knockout stages of WCL 2025. The Men in Blue can still qualify for the semifinal if they beat the West Indies Champions by a huge margin in their last league game. Australia will take on Pakistan in the other league match.

‘Shame on those who spread this': Ashwin dismisses 'fake news' on India vs Pakistan
India is set to play against Pakistan in the upcoming Asia Cup in September (Image via IANS) Veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has hit out strongly against a fake quote attributed to him on social media. The 38-year-old, known for his outspoken views on cricketing matters via his YouTube channel and show Ash Ki Baat, was falsely linked to a controversial statement regarding the India vs Pakistan fixtures in two separate tournaments. A viral post claimed that Ashwin said the India vs Pakistan match in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) was cancelled due to lack of financial interest, while the same fixture in the upcoming Asia Cup remained on because of the money involved. The fake post went on to quote Ashwin as saying, 'The amount of money decided the level of patriotism.' Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!

Three Things We Learned From Fourth Test Between England And India
India staged one of cricket's great escapes as they came away with a draw in the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford on Sunday. Their resilient display, the latest chapter in an enthralling campaign, mean India head to next week's finale at the Oval in London with hope of ending the five-Test series all square at 2-2. Let's have a look at three talking points from an engrossing match: India face Bumrah dilemma again Jasprit Bumrah's back injury earlier this year led India to announce the outstanding fast bowler would only feature in three games of the England series in a bid to manage his workload. And the world's top-ranked Test bowler made his third appearance of the campaign in Manchester. But with the fifth Test starting on Thursday, there is little time for Bumrah to recover after a tiring haul of 2-112 in 33 overs -- the first time the 31-year-old has conceded more than a hundred runs in a Test innings. Curiously, the only match India have so far won this series is the one Bumrah missed, when the tourists thrashed England by 336 runs in the second Test at Edgbaston. Stokes' commitment poses problems for England A captain who can lead with both bat and ball is a huge asset, but the England management may yet have to save Ben Stokes from himself with an Ashes tour of Australia on the horizon. The match at Old Trafford was a personal triumph for Stokes as he became just the fourth England cricketer to score a hundred and take five wickets in the same Test. Stokes, 34, is also now only the third man in Test history to have scored 7,000 runs and taken 200 wickets after West Indies' Garry Sobers and South Africa's Jacques Kallis. Yet there were times on Saturday, when he didn't bowl at all, when Stokes was in evident pain, clutching his thigh -- a concerning sign given his history of hamstring problems. There seemed no point in him being on the field at that stage except a lengthy absence would have delayed his return to bowling duty. And Stokes duly struck early Sunday to remove obdurate opener KL Rahul for 90. Stokes has now sent down 140 overs -- the most he has bowled in any series -- and is the leading wicket-taker on either side with 17 at an average of 25.2. But those fine figures are also a reflection of the relative lack of penetration offered by the rest of England's attack. "I'll always try to run through a brick wall for the team," said Stokes after Sunday's draw, adding: "I don't want to eat my words but the likelihood I won't play (at the Oval) is very unlikely." Resolute Gill Gill made a sensational start to his debut series as India captain with three hundreds in four innings. But when his next three knocks yielded a total of just 34 runs, it seemed the bubble had burst. He then came in on a hat-trick with India in dire straits at 0-2 in their second innings at Manchester, still more than 300 runs adrift of England's mammoth first-innings 669. But Gill responded with a marathon 103 spanning seven hours before further hundreds from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar ensured a draw. Gill has now set a new record for the most runs scored by an India batsman in a series against England of 722, surpassing team-mate Yashasvi Jaiswal's 712 in 2023/24. And at the Oval he could eclipse opening great Sunil Gavaskar's all-time India series record of 774 runs, set in a four-match campaign against the West Indies back in 1970/71.
