‘Bored. No words. Mind faster than Chacha Chaudhary’: How world cricket celebrated Virat Kohli’s 9th IPL century

Published by Parlour News

Virat Kohli returned to form and in some style. The RCB talisman rolled back the clock and aced a typical Kohli masterclass in chase, allowing his team to knock off 193 against the Kolkata Knight Riders and take a huge step towards cementing a place in the Playoffs. Kohli led from the front with a ninth Indian Premier League (IPL) century – the most by any player in the history of the League as his unbeaten 105 off 60 balls saw RCB through.

Ian Bishop on Mitchell Starc’s comeback for Delhi Capitals

Ian Bishop on Mitchell Starc’s comeback for Delhi Capitals

Published by Webster

3 min readMay 2, 2026 01:03 PM IST With his spell of 3 for 40 runs for Delhi Capitals against hosts Rajasthan Royals in their seven-wicket win on Friday night, Aussie pacer Mitchell Starc marked his return to competitive cricket after a gap of more than three months. Starc last played international cricket in January, when he played in the fifth and final Ashes Test at Sydney, and was sidelined due to elbow and shoulder injuries. Former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop termed Starc’s return to cricket as an ‘impressive’ one and shared how he brought back the firepower for Delhi Capitals in this IPL. “Very impressed. I had my question in my own mind about what sort of form he would come into this after the protected break that he had. And he brought some firepower for them, which was pleasing. His last over, I think, went for a few runs otherwise the figures would have been a lot better. I am happy with that from Delhi’s point of view,” Ian Bishop said on …

IPL 2026: ‘He’ll come better prepared; he won’t be Jasprit Bumrah…’ Ian Bishop on Mitchell Starc against Vaibhav Sooryavanshi | Cricket News

Published by Webster

4 min readMay 1, 2026 04:41 PM IST With his tally of 400 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 238.09 this IPL, teen sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has blasted his way to runs in power plays. The 15-year-old has hit bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Josh Hazelwood and Pat Cummins for sixes this season and will be expected to face Aussie pacer Mitchel Starc during Rajasthan Royals’ match against Delhi Capitals today evening. With Starc having joined Delhi Capitals earlier this week and expected to play in his first competitive match since January after shoulder and elbow injuries, former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop believes the Australian pacer will come better prepared against a batsman like Sooryavanshi. When asked about whether Starc will expect the same treatment which Sooryavanshi gave to the likes of Bumrah, Bishop replied that Starc won’t be Bumrah. “No, I think you have to give Mitchell Starc credit. He’ll come better prepared; he won’t be Jasprit Bumrah,” Bishop said on ESPNCricinfo. Delhi Capitals are currently sitting at seventh spot in …

GT vs RCB: The Jason Holder-Patidar catch IPL controversy — Ian Bishop thinks it wasn’t out | Cricket News

Published by Webster

3 min readMay 1, 2026 06:00 AM IST Rajat Patidar had pulled Arshad Khan to the right of deep square-leg. Holder rushed across, Rabada converging too before pulling out at the last instant. Holder lunged to pouch it — and then the questions started. Did the ball touch the ground as he went down? Did he use the ball itself to push himself back up, pressing it into the turf? Holder’s fingers were under it, or they weren’t. RCB thought one thing. The third umpire thought another. At Lord’s in 2023, Mitchell Starc dived to take a catch off Ben Duckett at fine leg, the ball scraping along the turf as he slid around the boundary. Australia were convinced it was out. The third umpire disagreed. The MCC subsequently clarified why, pointing to Law 33.3, which states that a catch is completed only when the fielder has complete control over both the ball and their movement. Starc, the MCC said, was still sliding when the ball made contact with the ground — and therefore not …

Ian Bishop ‘mind-blown’ by Devdutt Padikkal’s IPL 2026 re-invention: ‘Virat was good, Sai good but DDP blew me away’

Ian Bishop ‘mind-blown’ by Devdutt Padikkal’s IPL 2026 re-invention: ‘Virat was good, Sai good but DDP blew me away’

Published by Parlour News

Devdutt Padikkal has shown this IPL season that he has shifted up a gear, becoming a key part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s batting line-up. Known earlier for his elegant strokeplay, he has added more range to his game this year, handling short-pitched bowling better and showing a more fearless intent from the outset. That change has allowed him to play with greater freedom in the powerplay and keep the scoreboard moving. Across his IPL career, he has maintained a strike rate of a little over 130, but this season he has taken it to another level, striking at 184.07. The improvement has given RCB a strong start in several innings and eased pressure on the middle order. His ability to adapt to different match situations has stood out, making him one of the more impactful batters in the tournament so far for Royal Challengers Bengaluru this season; his overall impact is clearly visible now. Devdutt Pakdikkal has bee in incredible form in IPL this year. (PTI) In the last match against Gujarat Titans, he raised …

2 min readApr 23, 2026 08:45 PM IST Former West Indies pacer and current commentator Ian Bishop said that the negative comments targeted at Lucknow Super Giants speedster Mayank Yadav was absolutely horrifying, adding that the 21-year-old had almost lost his career due to the injury he had suffered which kept him out of majority of last season. Yadav played his first match of the 2026 season on Wednesday against the Rajasthan Royals but went wicket-less, conceding 56 runs in four overs including 20 off the last over. Rajasthan ultimately posted 159/6 and then restricted Lucknow to 119, winning by 40 runs. “To see negative comments about Mayank Yadav today is horrifying. The kid nearly lost his career & livelihood at 21yrs. Just to see him play again is huge boost. The fact that he clocked 150kph again is a miracle. At 23yrs just pray for him that he stays fit. The control will come,” Bishop posted on X on Thursday. To see negative comments about Mayank Yadav today is horrifying. The kid nearly lost …

How a questionable bishop move crashed Koneru Humpy’s title defence dreams

How a questionable bishop move crashed Koneru Humpy’s title defence dreams

Published by Webster

When 19-year-old Divya Deshmukh stunned veteran Koneru Humpy, a player twice her age, to win the Women’s World Cup in Georgia, it was a classic David-versus-Goliath moment that was famously dubbed a clash of generations. While the victory celebrated the exceptional rise of a new Indian talent, the underlying story was also Humpy’s: a bona fide master of shorter formats had rediscovered her mojo even in the Classical variation with a solid run all the way to the finals. That was in the longest form of chess. Fast forward to the World Rapid Championship 2025 in Doha, where Humpy entered as the reigning champion. She stood at a special position where, with a successful title defence, she could join China’s Ju Wenjun, the reigning World Classical Champion, as the only player to defend a Rapid crown, while also surpassing Ju to become the most decorated Rapid champion in history and overall the oldest woman to win this crown. Humpy enjoyed a stellar run in Doha, right up until the final round. She was part of …

Ian Bishop urges India to believe they can beat ‘juggernaut’ Australia in Women’s World Cup semifinal, suggests bolstering bowling attack | Cricket News

Published by Webster

West Indies know a thing or two about defying favourites, and making history. So one of the finest cricket voices amongst them, Ian Bishop, has urged India to stay calm but never lose the self belief ahead of going up against Australia in the second World Cup semifinals. “Facing Australia is never an easy task; they are a juggernaut, but certainly not invincible,” Bishop told JioHotstar on media day ahead of the exciting clash. “The key is getting the Indian team into a positive and composed frame of mind, treating it as an important match but not as a matter of life or death. Maintaining calm and belief is crucial, especially considering Australia’s dominant record, but India must trust that this semi-final can be their moment to turn the tide,” the wise wizard in commentary said. Bishop was of the opinion that India should bolster their bowling. “Strategically, India should prioritise extra bowling options to counter Australia’s batting depth, allowing the batters to take responsibility for their roles. Having that additional bowling depth will be …

Face of nuns’ protest against ex-Jalandhar bishop leaves convent

Sister Anupama, who was the face of protests against former Jalandhar bishop Franco Mulakkal in a rape case, has renounced nunhood and gone back to ordinary life, leaving the Catholic convent. The Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Jalandhar that houses the residence of the bishop of Jalandhar diocese. (HT File) For several years, she had been an inmate of a Kuravilangad-based convent, which is functioning under the Latin Catholic diocese of Jalandhar. A group of nuns, led by sister Anupama, had fought on behalf of the victim nun who had accused Mulakkal of raping her multiple times. “She renounced nunhood and left the convent some time back,” a church source told PTI. However, the church didn’t divulge many details, including when she had exactly resigned and what suddenly prompted her to do the same. Anupama, who preferred to stay away from public glare, was also yet to talk to the media about her new decision. Neither Anupama, an Alappuzha native, nor her family were available for comment.
