3 min readMumbaiJul 23, 2026 10:01 PM IST Not too many people know that Suniel Shetty wanted to be a cricketer before he became an actor. An avid sports buff, little did he know that decades later, he’d get a cricketer as a son-in-law. KL Rahul married his daughter and actor Athiya Shetty in 2023. They’re now parents to a daughter, Evaarah Vipula, born last year. Suniel Shetty on his first meeting with KL Rahul Suniel Shetty recently recalled that he first met his then-future son-in-law KL Rahul as a fan. “It was a fanboy moment. I met him as a fan much, much before they met each other. To this day, that’s how I look at him — somebody who’s very well-spoken, soft, humble, and leaves a huge impact on the youth whenever and wherever he plays,” said the actor. Suniel added that he doesn’t give any cricket advice to KL Rahul, just like he has no advice to offer to his son, Ahan Shetty, who’s now an actor. “I don’t give advice to …

3 min readJul 21, 2026 10:39 AM IST India head coach Gautam Gambhir and his team management have come under severe criticism for leaving the ODI batting order in persistent flux during the series decider against England at Lord’s on Sunday. Chasing a daunting 388 at Lord’s, India suffered a defeat by 27 runs. While the margins looked closer in the end on paper, India were left with a huge deficit to close in the final 10 overs against a sharper England bowling attack. Former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth slammed the team management for shuffling the batting order and demoting wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul to No. 6 during the monumental chase. While captain Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma set up the chase with a half-century and a hundred respectively, No. 3 Virat Kohli was followed by wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer in the chase, followed by Rahul.

How Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan put Afghanistan into submission | Cricket News

Published by Webster

This was a match that India used to tick various boxes put in front of them, without having a lot of stress to deal with. Shubman Gill was imperious in his first ODI century as India captain, and made it 154 for good measure. After anchoring a chase in Dharamshala, taking control of matters batting first would be another aspect the home team would be pleased about, apart from the 170-run win, that sealed the three-match series against Afghanistan with a game to spare. Ishan Kishan showed he can provide the impetus needed in the middle order. His 125 off 79 balls, after reaching fifty at less than a run a ball, proved he has gears to his batting and can adapt to situations. Gill’s exertions in excessive heat – the conditions necessitated three drinks breaks in the first innings – meant the skipper didn’t come out on the field to defend a total of 402 due to cramps. It allowed India’s new T20 captain Shreyas Iyer to take charge in largely trouble-free circumstances as …

Afghanistan refuse to learn from KL Rahul mistake, DRS calls messed up again as Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill make merry

Published by Parlour News

India are not simply running away in the one-off Test match because Afghanistan had no answers. That would be the easy reading. The harder truth is that Afghanistan kept finding small doors back into the match, only to walk past them. Rishabh Pant got a big reprieve against Azmatullah Omarzai. (X images) By the second morning of the one-off Test in New Chandigarh, India had already built the innings around KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. Rahul’s century on Day 1 had come after an early reprieve. Gill had resumed unbeaten after reaching three figures. Pant, already set overnight, was beginning to stretch the innings with his usual force. At 398/3, India were strong, but the second new ball had started giving Afghanistan something. Afghanistan’s DRS Blinders Help India Tighten Control Azmatullah Omarzai produced the spell Afghanistan needed. The ball was harder, the seam was livelier, and for a brief passage, India’s two most dangerous batters in the middle were not in control. Gill and Pant survived consecutive deliveries that could have …

Contrasting fortunes for tweakers Kuldeep Yadav outdid Kolkata’s spin twins Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine as the Delhi tweaker took 3 wickets at critical junctures, breaking the back of Kolkata’s chase and ending with figures of 3/29. Compared to him, Narine finished with 1/38 while Varun could only muster 1/35 in a match of contrasts. Kolkata were off to a decent start with Finn Allen dazzling the crowd, scything through the decorated Mitchell Starc with a 4 off his first over and then a straight 80m six over the …

5 min readUpdated: May 18, 2026 12:33 AM IST SYNOPSIS: DC wrap up a tumultuous home season with a five-wicket win that has disturbed RR’s playoff bid A performance combining stability and execution finally arrived for the Delhi Capitals after a wretched run of five home defeats. The bowling plans were flexible in the face of an early Rajasthan Royals onslaught after opting to bowl first. Axar Patel’s men showed enough depth to orchestrate a collapse that set a manageable 194-run chase, culminating in a five-wicket win at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday. At long last An entire season frittered in front of the home crowd before DC found their most feasible opening combination. The right-handed pairing of Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul didn’t provide the desired results on a consistent basis and also deprived them of proven middle-order disruptors. Taking over from the Sri Lankan, for the second time in two outings, left-handed Abishek Porel complemented Rahul without compromising on aggression.
