We don’t need coaches driving intensity standards when Virat Kohli is around, says RCB coach Andy Flower

Published by Webster

4 min readJun 1, 2026 05:28 PM IST Though Virat Kohli isn’t the captain of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, their captain Rajat Patidar and head coach Andy Flower have paid rich compliments on the influence the former India captain brings to the franchise. As RCB successfully managed to defend the title, beating Gujarat Titans in the final in Ahmedabad on Sunday, Kohli again played an match-winning knock, scoring an unbeaten 75 off 42 deliveries in the chase as he tallied over 650 runs in the season. Though he stepped aside as the captain ahead of the 2024 season, Kohli continues to be in the thick of action and continues to be the face of the franchise. Be it in the field or with the bat, his intensity has been hard to miss and at the same time, he has let Patidar run the show as captain without any interference. And Patidar said Kohli’s presence has allowed him to grow in his role as captain. “Regarding Virat bhai, I think you know, as I said in many …

Four districts of TN on high alert as deep depression nears cyclone intensity

Published by Webster

Four southern districts of Tamil Nadu — Kanyakumari, Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi and Ramanathapuram — have been placed on high alert as a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal moves closer to cyclonic intensity.  The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of very heavy rainfall in these districts on Wednesday, with the weather system expected to strengthen further over the next 24 hours. The deep depression, which intensified from a low-pressure area over the Bay, is moving west-northwest and may gain additional strength. While earlier predictions suggested a potential cyclone, IMD has now indicated only that the system will continue to intensify. Meanwhile, another low-pressure area persists near the Malacca Strait, and a separate system is active over the southwest Bay of Bengal, southern Sri Lanka and the adjoining Indian Ocean. Together, they have triggered widespread heavy rainfall across Tamil Nadu, submerging vast stretches of farmland. In Cuddalore district, nearly 1,500 acres of paddy fields in Poovalai, Alamelu Mangapuram and Manikollai remain under water. Farmers blame repeated flooding on the Paravanar river, alleging that embankments were …

What to expect in Gabba: Heat, bounce, pace and intensity | Cricket News

Published by Webster

“They are playing at pitch no.4. That’s the bounciest of the lot. The pitch where Mitchell Johnson terrorised England in 2013 with a nine-wicket haul. I expect it will seam a bit on the first day and quicken up with more pace and bounce on the second day.” That’s Kevin Mitchell Jr, an ex-curator of the Gabba for 33 years. “The job for your Indian batsmen is cut out. For that matter, the Aussies too. Both teams’ batsmen aren’t in flush form, are they? Travis Head saved the day at Adelaide, else it could have got tricky for Australia too.” Not long ago, a Test against South Africa got done in two days here, but that track had a lot of grass. This one, though, has already seen a change in colour. The overly grassy-green of Wednesday evening is gone after a few cuts, and it looks firm. “I think it will be quick and bouncy, It will be an interesting toss, especially if it is cloudy and humid,” Mitchell Junior says. Batsmen from both …

‘East Bengal lack aggression and intensity’: Coach Oscar Bruzon

‘East Bengal lack aggression and intensity’: Coach Oscar Bruzon

Published by Webster

Oscar Bruzon arrived in Kolkata on Saturday morning, but there was no time for the Spanish coach to settle in. He was immediately thrust into East Bengal’s high-stakes clash against arch-rivals Mohun Bagan in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. Unfortunately, the start of his journey with the Kolkata club was less than ideal, as a lifeless East Bengal side fell 0-2 to Mohun Bagan. After the match, club official Debabrata Sarkar was seen engaged in a discussion with Bruzon and Bino George, who had been overseeing the team since the sacking of former head coach Carles Cuadrat. This defeat marked East Bengal’s fifth consecutive loss this season. On his first day in charge, Bruzon, who previously coached Sporting Clube de Goa and Mumbai FC, took on the role of an observer rather than a tactician, needing to assess his team’s situation. At the post-match press conference, Bruzon acknowledged the team’s struggles and sought time to understand and address the underlying issues. “We are in the observation period. …
