Ryan Ten Doeschate names the ideal successor for Hardik Pandya

Published by Webster

3 min readJun 19, 2026 07:47 PM IST India’s assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has said Nitish Kumar Reddy as the natural successor for Hardik Pandya when it comes to seam-bowling all-rounder. With Pandya still not certain to play ODIs, India have been investing on Reddy over the last 18 months and having added a few extra yards of pace, they are grooming him for next year’s World Cup. Although it could come down to one spot between Pandya and Reddy incase the former regains full fitness and is available for ODI selection, Ten Doeschate revealed having as many all-rounders as possible will offer India the much-needed balance in the format, which is lacking at present. “When Hardik’s fit, he obviously brings a different element because he’s such a strong batter, such a strong finisher. That sort of role scarcity is difficult to find a finisher who can give you overs as well. So those guys are all tracking really nicely. Like I said with Nitish, for the last 18 months he’s shown glimpses of …

Stalin ‘successor’ in a new role: Vijay the target, AIADMK on his side, Udhayanidhi faces LoP test | Political Pulse News

Published by Parlour News

On Monday morning, as the 17th Tamil Nadu Assembly convened for the first time, Udhayanidhi Stalin, walked into a chamber that suddenly looked unfamiliar even to the leaders who once controlled it. Across the aisle sat Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay in a suit. Behind Vijay, 51, sat a legion of the TVK’s young, first-time MLAs: political debutants, booth workers, digital creators, fan club organisers, meme-makers, and ex-YouTubers, many of them under 40 and apparently more comfortable with Instagram algorithms than the Assembly conventions. Led by Vijay, they have just broken six decades of the Dravidian majors’ dominance. On the other side was the old order, compressed together for the first time, with the legislators of the arch rivals DMK and AIADMK – parties that spent half a century taking on each other – sitting together in the newly elected House. The sight was stark. Tamil Nadu politics has always operated like a rotating inheritance system: one Dravidian giant ruled, the other one sat in the Opposition. Now both parties have been pushed together into …

Who will be the next Bengal chief minister? Meet Mamata Banerjee’s likely successor as assembly dissolves

Published by Parlour News

For fifteen years, the political identity of West Bengal has been associated with Mamata Banerjee. That era came to an end on Thursday when the state’s legislative assembly was dissolved, clearing the way for the Bharatiya Janata Party to take office for the first time in the state. Mamata Banerjee has led West Bengal for 15 years. (HT_PRINT) In the 2026 assembly elections, the saffron party won 207 seats in the 294-member house, ending three terms of Trinamool Congress (TMC) rule. Who will be Bengal’s next chief minister? The primary choice so far is BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari. Once a key lieutenant in Mamata Banerjee’s cabinet, Adhikari is now the man who unseated her. He defeated the outgoing chief minister in her Bhabanipur stronghold. His rise fulfils the CM criteria set by the party leadership. Their vision promised a leader who was local, Bengali-educated, and rooted in the state’s grassroots politics.

How long before Shreyas Iyer’s exile ends? Clock ticking on India to bring him back as Suryakumar Yadav’s successor

Published by Parlour News

The year has started with plenty of news and entertainment for cricket fans, first with India’s triumph in the T20 World Cup 2026 and now the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. With a long summer of international cricket ahead, many national teams have begun their preparations, and performances in the IPL provide a global stage for players to push their case for national selection. Shreyas Iyer, left, and Suryakumar Yadav (AFP) Indian batter Shreyas Iyer has taken centre stage in the cricketing circle for a while now, with his future in India’s white-ball setup still up in the air. Iyer, who has played over 125 matches and scored more than 4,000 international runs for his country, was omitted from the T20I squad, with his last appearance against Australia in 2023. Since then, India has gone on to win back-to-back T20 WCs, with Iyer missing out on both, featuring in roughly 16 matches primarily in the ODI format. His exclusion followed his removal from the BCCI Central Contract list for limited involvement in domestic …

New Delhi: Air India chief executive Campbell Wilson has resigned but will stay on with the company till a successor is found, according to four people familiar with the matter. The development sets the stage for a leadership transition at a time when the airline faces operational disruptions, rising costs and a likely record loss this year.

(HT File Photo) Wilson’s resignation was accepted at a board meeting last week, these people said. “He will continue to be in the system until the board finds his successor — to help in a smooth transition — whenever that happens, until September,” one of them said. Campbell’s five-year term was scheduled to end in September next year. Air India refused to comment on the matter. The search for a successor had begun in January after Wilson had expressed his wish to not continue after his contract ends, people familiar with the matter said. He joined Air India in September 2022 on a five-year contract — after the airline was …

Why Indian badminton should refrain from anointing any youngster as the Saina-Sindhu successor – the heir isn’t apparent

Why Indian badminton should refrain from anointing any youngster as the Saina-Sindhu successor – the heir isn’t apparent

Published by Webster

Marketeers and broadcasters need a face to sell. Their aims are dynastic in nature—energies devoted to assembling an heir for the throne, constantly searching for princelings to succeed the kings. Indian women’s singles badminton lucked out once when PV Sindhu emerged perfectly as the princess who took over from the queen, Saina Nehwal. It is the exact scenario India should refrain from attempting to recreate. The reasons are simple: there isn’t an heir apparent in our sights right now. You need an An Se-young-level talent for that, and India doesn’t have one currently. Rushing to declare someone the next big thing—for the lure of promise and to satiate market demand—will be a huge disservice to the talent herself. The temperaments of current contenders are far off Saina-levels, and their physicality, the very basis for this sport, is nowhere close to making bold assumptions about their futures. Marketers will of course go sniffing for their next project to present to the world. But there are huge dangers in ruining that same potential by force-creating auras where …

Kris Srikkanth on possible Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja trade: ‘Who’s your all-rounder in CSK…as the successor to Dhoni’ | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Sanju Samson to Chennai Super Kings and Ravindra Jadeja to Rajasthan Royals trade has been the trending discussion ahead of the IPL retentions. If the swap were to materialize, Chennai will be losing an all-rounder and gaining a wicket-keeper batter. Former Indian selector Kris Srikkanth has pointed out that although Samson is a superb player, it is important to have all-rounders in the side, and if CSK wanted to groom a successor to MS Dhoni, they already have Urvil Patel as an option available. “Without Jadeja, who’s your all-rounder in CSK? Having an all-rounder is very important; it’s the key role in the T20 format. I am not discounting Samson, who’s superb. I’ve been reading that Sanju Samson will slowly be developed as the successor to Dhoni. But for that, you’ve Urvil Patel already. He’s also a wicketkeeper batter,” Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel. “By leaving Jadeja, CSK will have to scout for another all-rounder. Someone like Cameron Green is not a tried and tested material. He’s not a great all-rounder. He’s a batter …

The sudden retirement of Rohit Sharma from Test cricket has left the selectors in jeopardy as they need to find a new captain for India’s upcoming tour to England. India will be facing England in a five-match Test series, which will kick-start from June 20 and the squad is yet to be announced. This is going to be an important series for both the teams as it will also mark the beginning of 2025-27 cycle of World Test Championship. Rohit took to Instagram on Wednesday and bid adieu to the longest format of the game, stating that he will continue to represent India in the ODIs.
