Australia's Deputy PM Richard Marles cited Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL 2026 title win, featuring Indian star Virat Kohli and Australians Josh Hazlewood and Tim David, as a symbol of the strong India-Australia relationship.
Former Indian cricketer Kirti Azad has debunked a viral social media image claiming to be the hotel bill from India's 1983 World Cup victory celebrations. Azad stated the receipt from London's Grosvenor Hotel is fake, including a forged Kapil Dev signature, and that celebrations occurred at the Westmoreland Hotel.
Thirty-five years ago, the 1990-91 Ranji Trophy final between Mumbai and Haryana delivered an unforgettable thriller. Haryana, led by Kapil Dev, clinched their maiden title by a mere two runs in a dramatic finish at the Wankhede Stadium. The match featured stellar performances and a nail-biting conclusion, cementing its place as a classic in Indian domestic cricket history.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 15, has taken IPL 2026 by storm with 404 runs in 10 matches including a century and two fifties. Kapil Dev declined to comment on the teenage sensation, saying commentators who follow the game more closely are better placed to judge. Sooryavanshi's performances have sparked discussions about a possible India call-up for the T20I series against Ireland and England later this year.
