Suresh Raina to feature in a Tamil film? Teases 'big surprise' on July 4

Former Indian cricketer hinted at bringing his cricket life on the big screen with a social media post on Thursday. While quoting a post from Dream Knight Stories Private Limited, Raina wrote, "Revealing a surprise tomorrow. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now .. Stay tuned." In the original post, the production house showed cricket's ground staff using covers to keep the pitch and information under wraps with the text on it reading, "Revealing tomorrow 7pm." It might be the first look to Raina's cricket life coming to the theatrs. The southpaw, known for his explosive batting and electric fielding, had hinted that a biopic based on his life could be on the cards in 2021. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In a 2021 interview, Raina revealed that his memoir, 'Believe – What Life and Cricket Taught Me' had the potential to be adapted into a feature film. "I believe there is a great story in there, and people can take inspiration from it," Raina had said. When asked who he would like to see portray him in the film, Raina had expressed his admiration for South Indian cinema's stars, suggesting either Tamil actor Suriya or Malayalam heartthrob Dulquer Salmaan. "They both have the versatility and screen presence to bring my journey to life," he said. Tracing Moeen Ali's steps in Birmingham Raina's journey from a small town in Uttar Pradesh to becoming one of India's most dependable limited-overs players — and a World Cup winner — is a tale of grit, resilience, and belief. With his contribution to Indian cricket and a fan base across regions, the potential for a compelling sports biopic is undeniable. Raina, who played bulk of his IPL career for , had expressed desire that someone from Chennai play him whenever a biopic was made. "I want someone from the South to do it. Someone who can understand how Chennai belongs to me and what CSK means to me," he said

Vaibhav Suryavanshi travels almost 90 kms to witness history at Edgbaston as Shubman Gill runs riot against England

Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his India U-19 teammates travelled almost 90 kilometres from Northampton to witness history being created as Shubman Gill became the first Indian captain to score a double hundred on English soil at Edgbaston in the ongoing second Test. Suryavanshi, who gained limelight after his Indian Premier League (IPL) success with Rajasthan Royals, is a part of the Indian U-19 team touring England for a multi-format series. On the second day of the Test match, Suryavanshi and his teammates were caught on camera as Gill plundered 269 runs for his highest ever Test score.

India's selection for Edgbaston Test shows team management is second-guessing itself

The shuffle screams one thing loud and clear: the team management is second-guessing itself. It's like they walked into a buffet, piled everything onto the plate, and are now hoping something magically tastes right. Confidence in their own selections is nowhere to be found. And, not picking Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI just made it all the more worse. The Indian team management, now led by coach Gautam Gambhir, must be sipping something stronger than coffee, because there's no sane justification for dropping Sai Sudharsan from the second Test against England at Edgbaston. After the first Test hiccup, the vibe is pure panic mode. Experiments, tweaks, and crossed fingers—pushing the team on the back foot not only in the dressing room, but also in front of the opponents. Instead of sticking to a clear plan, Gambhir and the selection committee are playing musical chairs with the lineup, hoping that eventually, something clicks. Out of all, it is Gambhir who should remember that in the transition phase, clear communication between the think tank and younger players and giving them an environment where their heads are not at stake in each game is the least a coach of his power should do. Let's not repeat the Karun Nair story all over again. Also read: IPL expansion will kill Test cricket. Players no longer care about playing for the country Strong lower order at what cost? Following his debut in the series opener, Sudharsan was axed after just one game. Along with him, Jasprit Bumrah was rested and Shardul Thakur was left out. Their replacements: Akash Deep, Washington Sundar, and Nitish Kumar Reddy. If Sudharsan was dropped due to an underwhelming debut performance, it certainly wouldn't be the first instance of a cricketer struggling in their first Test. History is full of such examples—Parthiv Patel (2002), Wriddhiman Saha (2010), Dean Elgar (2012), Jimmy Cook (1992), and Graham Gooch (1975), all failed to score in their debut innings. Even some of India's Test greats struggled in their debut. Virat Kohli scored 4 and 15 in his debut against West Indies in 2011, Cheteshwar Pujara managed just 4 in his first outing against Australia in 2010, Rishabh Pant scored 24 and 1 in his 2018 debut versus England, while KL Rahul scored 3 and 1 against Australia in 2014. Clearly, a rocky debut isn't a fair measure of future potential. Hence, Sudharsan's omission raises more questions than answers. If the aim was team balance, it still feels like a rookie move to pick Washington Sundar over Sai Sudharsan—it comes across as a desperate attempt to prep up the lower batting order and avoid another collapse like we saw in Leeds. India is now fielding three all-rounders to strengthen the tail, but at what cost? When your most lethal wicket-taker is being rested, sacrificing bowling firepower for batting depth seems questionable. This is after Gambhir, in a 2023 tweet, wrote, 'It's the bowlers who win you tournaments.' Well, the coach should at least practice what he preaches. Choosing spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar over Kuldeep Yadav's left-arm wrist spin is baffling. Between the two, it's a no-brainer that Kuldeep offers far more bite, especially given England's struggles against wrist-spin. Since 2022, the England batters have averaged just 30.50 against leg-spinners, while Kuldeep has claimed 19 wickets at a strike rate of 36. His exclusion defies cricketing logic. Views are personal.
