Shubman Gill was handed the reins of the ODI team last October, to go with his Test captaincy, and there are ample indications that the selectors and the team management lean towards having one skipper across the three formats. But with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma still around in the 50-over game, they still cast a long shadow over the team they have built over a long period of time. But with Kohli missing the Afghanistan series due to injury and Rohit not managing a substantial knock in the first two games, the stage was set for Gill to show – with the bat – that he is the man to lead from the front. After shepherding a chase of 195 in 25 overs in Dharamsala, that could have got tricky, staying till the end as Kohli used to, the captain …

Irfan Pathan on Virat Kohli’s tiff with Travis Head

3 min readMay 23, 2026 04:51 PM IST With the business-end of the Indian Premier League (IPL) heating up, there was an on-field tiff between Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Virat Kohli and Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Travis Head on Friday. During the match where RCB were chasing the 255-run target of SRH, Kohli appeared to mock the Head’s frequent use by his team as an Impact Substitute by gesturing and telling him to bowl a few deliveries instead of staying off the field. Kohli, however, was dismissed soon after for 15 off 11 balls, prompting Head to fire back with a sledge of his own. The tension appeared to linger after SRH’s commanding 55-run win as Head tried to shake hands during the customary post-match greetings, but Kohli walked past him without acknowledging the gesture. Former India player Irfan Pathan said that the exchange during such a high profile game was pretty natural due to the pressure that comes with it. #ViratKohli 🆚 #TravisHead 🥵🤯 Tensions rise in high voltage clash🔥#TATAIPL Race to Playoffs 2026 👉 #SRHvRCB | …
