Sai Sudharsan over Shreyas Iyer for England: Mohammed Kaif unhappy with call
Kaif said that the selectors looked at Sudharsan's IPL form for his selection, but decided not to apply it when it came to Shreyas. "Sai Sudharsan is a brilliant player, no doubt. But he was picked in the Test squad after a good IPL season (679 runs and counting). Iyer, meanwhile, has been doing well for so long. He scored some 550 runs in the 2023 ODI World Cup and in the Champions Trophy as well. He is still doing a terrific job with the bat for Punjab Kings – 514 runs and counting. He is captaining too. So on one hand, you are considering white-ball criteria for one player and not for the other," said Kaif. advertisementSudharsan has been tipped as one of the brightest prospects in Indian cricket, but his first-class numbers haven't been too impressive. Shreyas, on the other hand, has got the stats to back up a return to the Indian team. During the IPL, the PBKS skipper has scored 514 runs in 14 matches. Stay updated on IPL 2025 with India Today!

Xavi Hernandez's application for India coach role stuns AIFF, but federation unable to afford him
NEW DELHI: Spain's World Cup-winning midfield maestro Xavi Hernandez was among those who applied for the position of India's head coach, leaving the All India Football Federation (AIFF) pleasantly surprised, but allegedly unable to process his application for reasons that had nothing to do with football. Xavi, it is learnt, 'sent an email from his own account' to apply for the post. However, the AIFF could not proceed with the processing of his application as the costs involved in recruiting one of the world's finest midfielders were allegedly far beyond the federation's means. 'Yes, he (Xavi) applied for the job of the Indian senior men's team football head coach. He has himself mailed his application to the people in the technical committee, and it looks like he was very much interested in the job,' a source in the AIFF told PTI on Friday. 'However, those tasked with the responsibility of recommending the shortlist of coaches to the executive committee for final approval know that it's difficult. You understand that Xavi is one of the greatest midfielders of all time. People talk about Messi all the time, but he, along with (Andres) Iniesta, are right up there as far as Barcelona is concerned. So, yes, it is what it is,' he added. The experienced Anglo-Cypriot Stephen Constantine, Stefan Tarkovic of Slovakia, and home-bred Khalid Jamil were among three candidates shortlisted on Wednesday by the technical committee of the AIFF. Out of the three, Jamil appears to be the frontrunner to replace Manolo Marquez, who quit earlier this month after a string of poor performances by the national team.

Gautam Gambhir's 'Surprising' Call Stuns Experts; Ricky Ponting Gives Blunt 'Logic' Take
The decision taken by the Indian cricket team management to send Shardul Thakur to bat at No. 7 ahead of Washington Sundar stunned experts during the fourth Test match against England at Old Trafford. When Sai Sudharsan got out on Wednesday, there was still an hour left on the clock but India decided to go with Shardul ahead of the in-form Sundar. The decision by head coach Gautam Gambhir and Co could the commentators by surprise as they did not expect the visitors to use Shardul as a 'night watchman'. While Ravi Shastri and Dinesh Karthik tried to make sense of the decision, former Australia cricket team skipper Ricky Ponting went on to say that he was trying to work out the 'logic' behind the call. "I'm just trying to work out the logic from India here as to why they've sent Shardul in ahead of Washington Sundar. Just looking at the numbers, I mean, Washington averages nearly 39 in Test cricket and Shardul is down at 17. And he's [Sundar] not being sent out. He's [Shardul] not a night watchman, there's still 40 minutes of play here, and a new ball around the corner," Ponting said. Shastri, who was also in the commentary box, agreed with the him saying: "All the more reason [to send Sundar ahead of Shardul]". He played in the first Test match. Dismissed pretty cheaply, a couple of loose shots," referring to Thakur's scores of 1 and 4 in the series opener in Leeds last month." Karthik, who replaced Ponting in the commentary box after some time, echoed similar sentiments. "I was extremely surprised too, considering how well Washington has batted, not only in this series, but in the recent past – and he's batted better with batters around. He's not been that effective with the tail."
