HCA chief, office-bearers detained by Telangana CID for alleged misappropriation of funds
A senior CID official confirmed that apart from Jagan Mohan Rao, HCA treasurer C Srinivas Rao (A3), CEO Sunil Kante (A4), general secretary Rajender Yadav (A5) and his wife G Kavita (A6) have been taken into custody.
The case stems from a report submitted by the Vigilance wing regarding irregularities in ticket distribution and governance during the 2025 IPL season.
SRH had earlier accused HCA of demanding 10% more tickets for the association and an additional 10% for the personal use of the HCA chief, beyond the 3,900 tickets already allocated as complimentary under a tripartite agreement involving SRH, HCA and the BCCI.
On March 27, a corporate box at Uppal stadium was reportedly locked by HCA officials. Following this, SRH conveyed their intent to withdraw from the franchise agreement.
The government subsequently ordered a V&E inquiry, whose findings indicated coercive actions by HCA.

4 Players Sunrisers Hyderabad Might Release Before IPL 2026 Auction: Ishan Kishan, Mohammed Shami And...
photoDetails english 2931350 Updated:Jul 13, 2025, 08:06 PM IST 1. Ishan Kishan 1 / 8 India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan was acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a massive Rs. 11.40 crore at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. However, Ishan has failed to perform up to the expectations in the IPL 2025 season. The 26-year-old Ishan started his IPL 2025 with a century against Rajasthan Royals. However, he failed to produce big knocks after that century, scoring 354 runs in 14 matches of IPL 2025 so far. Considering his high salary and low return, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) might consider releasing Ishan before the IPL 2026 auction. Ishan Kishan's IPL Record 2 / 8 Ishan Kishan, a left-handed wicketkeeper-batter, has scored 2998 runs in 119 IPL matches with an average of 29.10 and strike rate of 137.64 so far. 2. Heinrich Klaasen 3 / 8 Sunrisers Hyderabad retained Heinrich Klaasen for a whopping Rs 23 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. However, Klaasen wasn't at his best in IPL 2025 season, scoring 487 in 14 matches. Given his massive salary and low returns, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) might consider releasing Klaasen before the IPL 2026 auction. Heinrich Klaasen's IPL Record 4 / 8 Heinrich Klaasen, who is known for his ability to smash bowlers all around the park, has scored 1480 runs in 49 IPL matches so far, with an average of 40.00 and strike rate of 169.72. 3. Mohammed Shami 5 / 8 Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bought Mohammed Shami for a massive Rs 10 crore at the IPL 2025 auction. However, the veteran Indian pacer was very ordinary with the ball, picking just 6 wickets in 9 matches with a poor economy rate of 11.23 during the IPL 2025 season. Given his salary, fitness and form, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) might consider releasing Shami before the IPL 2026 auction. Mohammed Shami's IPL Record 6 / 8 Mohammed Shami, one of India's most prolific pace bowlers, who is known for his immaculate seam position, has picked 133 wickets in 119 IPL matches, with an economy rate of 8.63 so far. 4. Rahul Chahar 7 / 8 Sunrisers Hyderabad spent Rs 3.20 crore in the mega auction to acquire Rahul Chahar for IPL 2025. However, SRH didn't trust Chahar enough as he played just one match and bowled one over during the IPL 2025 season. Given the lack of trust and decent salary, it seems like Sunrisers Hyderabad will release Rahul Chahar before the IPL 2026 auction. Rahul Chahar's IPL Record 8 / 8 India leg-spinner Rahul Chahar has picked 75 wickets in 79 IPL matches with an economy of 7.72 so far.

Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash's London photos give fans fresh clues to fuel romance buzz. Can you spot?
Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash are once again at the centre of dating speculations after sharing pictures from what appears to be the same location in London. While neither of them has posted a photo together or confirmed any relationship, the timing and location of their posts have caught fans' attention. Mahvash shared a series of solo pictures from iconic London spots like the London Eye and Big Ben. Her outfit — a white and navy pre-layered top that read "C'est la vie", paired with a navy blue mini skirt and white sneakers — was praised by fans for its effortless and classy style. Her light makeup and open hairstyle complemented her look as she posed confidently on the streets. Shortly after her post, Chahal uploaded his own pictures from the same backdrop, dressed casually in a blue shirt and jeans. Although he didn't tag anyone or share any hints, social media users were quick to draw connections. Fans Joke About Chahal The internet was soon filled with playful comments suggesting Chahal was the photographer behind Mahvash's London photos. Remarks like 'Ye photo Yuzi bhai ne click ki hai' and 'Camera man Chahal bhai' flooded the comment section, with some fans jokingly accusing Mahvash of raising Chahal's blood pressure with such stylish uploads. Speculation about their bond isn't new. Mahvash has been seen at several IPL matches, even during times when Chahal was benched due to injury. The two have also been spotted at dinners and other public events. Additionally, Mahvash has often posted messages in support of Chahal during crucial career moments, which has only added fuel to the rumours. They recently appeared together in an advertisement, further strengthening the belief among fans that there may be more to their relationship than friendship. Chahal's Divorce and Cryptic Response on Talk Show Chahal's personal life has also kept him in the headlines. He officially parted ways with choreographer and influencer Dhanashree Verma earlier this year. The divorce was finalised on March 20, 2025, at Mumbai's Bandra Family Court. The couple had been living separately since mid-2022 and filed for divorce by mutual consent in February 2025. Interestingly, Chahal was also seen on a recent episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show , where the topic of his alleged relationship with Mahvash came up. When teased by comedian Kiku Sharda about his love life, Chahal responded cryptically, saying that the country had known the answer for the past four months. Although he didn't name anyone, the exchange left audiences smiling and guessing. Despite the swirling rumours and public hints, both Chahal and Mahvash continue to maintain that they are just friends.

Ajinkya Rahane 'tried to have conversations' with Agarkar regarding comeback, 'got no response': ‘There are things…'
Ajinkya Rahane, who most famously oversaw India's historic series win in Australia in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, currently finds himself out of favours when it comes to the Test team. However, the right-handed batter has not given up hope of making a comeback as he continues to do the hard yards and put in the grind in a bid to make it to the playing XI. Rahane recently attended Day 3 of the Lord's Test between India and England, and it was there that he spoke about his ambitions of making a return to the national fold. Ajinkya Rahane reveals he tried to speak to the selectors about a possible comeback but got no response from the committee. Rahane, who recently led the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, chatted with former England captains Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain. When asked where he sees himself, he quickly responded that the ambition of making a return is still there. The right-handed batter, who has played 85 Tests for India, also revealed that he tried to speak to the selectors about where he stands in the scheme of things, but he got no response from the committee, which is headed by former India pacer Ajit Agarkar. However, he is not bothered about this as his focus remains on doing well for Mumbai in domestic cricket. 'I still want to play Test cricket. I'm really passionate about playing Test cricket, and at this moment, I'm enjoying my cricket. Just here for a few days, I carried my trainers, my training clothes, so that I can keep myself fit. Our domestic season is starting, so the preparations have just begun,' Rahane said on Sky Sports. Also Read: Atherton nearly blunders by calling Ajinkya Rahane 'former India cricketer', star batter gives stoic response 'See, for me, it's all about focusing on the controllable things. Frankly, I tried to have conversations with the selectors, but again, there are things as a player I cannot control. I got no response. For me, as a player, what I can do is to keep playing cricket, keep enjoying the game and give my best every time," he added. Love playing Test cricket Rahane played his last Test in 2023 against the West Indies, and it has been more than two years since he has been out of the Test team. The 37-year-old stated that he loves playing the longest format of the game as it is the ultimate test of a cricketer's character. 'I love playing Test cricket, I love playing red ball. And it's a passion, it's a love for the game that always keeps me going," he added. In 85 Tests, Rahane scored 5077 runs at an average of 38.46. He has 12 hundreds and 26 half-centuries to his name in the longest format. He also led India in six Tests, registering victories in four of them. Virat Kohli flew back owing to a paternity leave in December 2020, and it was then that Rahane led the team in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Being bundled out for 36 in the second innings of the Adelaide Test, all the pressure was on India. However, Rahane marshalled the troops tremendously, leading the visitors to a famous 2-1 win.
