Former RCB coach on Ishan Kishan’s calculated demolition job

Former RCB coach on Ishan Kishan’s calculated demolition job

2 min readFeb 17, 2026 04:31 PM IST Ishan Kishan’s 77-run knock stood out as the definitive contribution for India in their thrashing of Pakistan in Colombo in an ICC T20 World Cup group game. While the innings seemed to be indicative of the swashbuckling, no-holds-barred batting of the left-hander, former India assistant coach Sanjay Bangar believes that there was a calculative element to Kishan’s batting. Bangar said that Kishan coming in at the top of the order, and having the freedom to take risks have factored heavily in his success over the last few T20I games. “To bat like Ishan Kishan, the way he did against Pakistan, I believe there have to be a couple of factors that have to be to your advantage. Number one, he is batting at the top of the order. He has the backing of the team to go out and play by taking a lot of risks, which, at the moment, are coming off,” said Banger on ‘Follow the Blues’. “Number two, he is the man in form, …

The Agastya Nanda and Jaideep Ahlawat starrer has shifted its release date to January 2026, and it is a very well-thought-out move, which will eventually benefit the film. Scroll below to know more. Here are a few reasons why this shift makes perfect business sense: Avoiding a box office traffic jam The original release window would have placed this war drama against James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire And Ash and Dhurandhar (which is currently running in theaters). With two big giants already hogging up major screens, Sriram Raghavan’s film would have struggled to secure adequate shows. It will encourage a wider reach With multiple big-ticket releases commanding attention in the same period, choosing New Year’s Day opens up a cleaner window for Ikkis to enjoy wider visibility.

Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli spent just 21 days together in the first 6 months of marriage: ‘I actually calculated’ | Bollywood News

One of the most beloved and prominent power couples in the country, Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli never shy away from showering love on each other. Be it publicly or on social media, the two have often exuded couple goals, and the same was witnessed when Virat announced his retirement from Test cricket recently, following which Anushka penned a long post on social media, underscoring that she would forever be his biggest cheerleader. At the same time, they have also never hesitated to admit that spending time together isn’t easy, given the demanding nature of their jobs and the constant public attention they face. In fact, Anushka once revealed that they spent merely 21 days together during the first six months of their marriage. “People assume when I’m visiting Virat or when he is visiting me that it’s a holiday, but it’s really not. One person is always working. In fact, during the first six months of our marriage, we spent 21 days together. Yes, I actually calculated. So when I visit …

Pat Cummins: Happy that SRH batting is calculated aggression and not reckless or swinging blindly | Ipl News

As SunRisers Hyderabad take on Gujarat Titans in the battle of the two best stylishly kitted-out teams of the IPL, their three losses on a trot seem to have deflated some of the hype that was building around them breaking the 300 barrier. Skipper Pat Cummins says, he’s happy his bludgeons are capable of striking at 200, and there’s a method to the madness. Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan haven’t really taken off since the first match where they got 280 odd. But Pat Cummins isn’t stressed. “Look it started out with pretty much as well as we could’ve played which is great for new squad and then next two games haven’t gone to plan or been our best. Probably haven’t had the luck you sometimes hope for. We would like to have more mins but pretty happy with how the group is going. Everyone’s really positive. Still a long way to go in the tournament,” Cummins told SRH socials. Though the 300 hasn’t shown up yet, Cummins had faith in the batting …

Kristin Cavallari was once very close to the Kardashian family, especially the oldest daughter, Kourtney.

On December 30, the TV personality appeared on Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast and spoke about her fallout with the Lemme founder. “Scott and Kourtney started dating; that’s how I met Kourtney. I f–king loved Kourtney,” Cavallari recalled. “We were really good friends,” she added.  She revealed that their friendship took a turn when she traveled to Las Vegas with “a bunch of [her] guy friends,” which also included Disick. This took place when Kourtney and Disick briefly split in 2011.  “We all went out; we had a good time; I was never even alone with Scott,” she recalled. The next morning, Page Six reported a story romantically linking the duo, claiming they hooked up. The mom-of-three accused Disick of planting the story to “try to …

Spin-nerd Ravichandran Ashwin’s 25,714 calculated steps to reach Mt 500 | Cricket News

A content smile spread on Ravichandran Ashwin’s face, when he grabbed his 500th Test scalp and waved the ball towards the audience on the stands. The smile captured both the sheer joy and satisfaction that seized Ashwin when he reached a significant milestone of a spectacular career. He is now the ninth highest wicket-taker in Tests and the fifth highest among the spinners. Filter the achievement further and he is India’s second-most successful bowler ever. Anil Kumble with 619 wickets sits at the top of the pile. A more illuminating number in Ashwins’s career is 25714, the number of balls he has bowled to complete his 500th. Only the Australian Glenn McGrath has brought wickets at a faster clip. The more you dissect his numbers, the more head-spinning an experience it would be, and the more convinced you would be of his place among the all-time greats of the game. But beyond all these—the wickets, the numbers, the match-winning spells, the five-fors and 10-wicket hauls, the glory balls—there was something far deeper about his art …
