3 min readUpdated: Feb 25, 2026 05:17 PM IST Things turned heated in the second day of Ranji Trophy final on Wednesday when Jammu and Kashmir captain Paras Dogra headbutted a Karnataka player. After slamming a boundary off Prasidh Krishna in the 101st over, Dogra appeared to have some sort of verbal exchange with Karnataka’s KV Aneesh, who was a sub fielder. Things escalated when Dogra squared up to him and headbutted Aneesh’s helmet with his own which led to Mayank Agarwal stepping in to calm matters. After that, Karnataka skipper Devdutt Padikkal was also seen talking to the umpires about the incident. But after that matters cooled down with J&K posting a massive 527/6 at stumps at the end of Day 2. Sahil Lotra (57) and Abid Mushtaq (20) were in the middle after Dogra departed for 70 while Day 1 centurion Shubham Pundir scored 121. Abdul Samad also departed after 61 while wicketkeeper Kanhaiya Wadhawan added 70. Resuming on 284/2, J&K batters capitalised on a good surface with Kanhaiya Wadhawan and skipper Paras …

India’s U-16 boys’ tennis team ended their Asia-Oceania Junior Davis Cup campaign on a high by defeating Pakistan 2-0 in the playoff for 11th place on Saturday in Shymkent, Kazakhstan. The fixture saw Indian youngsters Prakaash Sarran and Tavish Pahwa deliver clutch performances in tense super tie-breaks to seal the win. In the opening singles match, Prakaash Sarran displayed composure after dropping the first set in a tie-break, eventually overcoming Abu Bakar Talha 6-7(2), 6-3, [10-4]. Tavish Pahwa followed suit in an equally dramatic contest, rallying from a set down to edge out Mikaeel Ali Baig 4-6, 6-2, [12-10]. A video shared by Indian Tennis Daily captured a tense post-match exchange at the net where the Pakistani player misses a handshake swing extended by the Indian. When the latter holds his ground, the visibly agitated Pakistan teen returns to complete the handshake formality. “I’m not mad at you,” he is heard yelling at the Indian. The footage drew the ire of netizens who deemed the Pakistan player as having disrespected his opponent. What the video …

Rohit Sharma ‘Impact Sub’ Debate: Tempers Flare As Rayudu, Bangar Clash During Debate

Rohit Sharma ‘Impact Sub’ Debate: Tempers Flare As Rayudu, Bangar Clash During Debate

Published by Webster

Rohit Sharma‘s usage as an ‘Impact Substitute’ by the Mumbai Indians since the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season has divided opinions. Rohit, at the age of 37, is being used rather cautiously by the franchise, with the management deciding against putting him in the field while MI are fielding. With Hardik Pandya leading the side, Suryakumar Yadav is being used as his deputy, helping him make decision on the field. With Jasprit Bumrah also now a part of the unit, Hardik has some reliable ‘leaders’ to consult. In the Mumbai Indians’ match against Lucknow Super Giants, Rohit was seen walking onto the field during a drinks break and suggesting a tactical tweak to Hardik. The tweak did pay off in a brilliant manner, making many wonder if the team would benefit more with Rohit on the field for the entire 20 overs it bowls. As the subject was brought up during a panel discussion on ESPNCricinfo, former India cricketers Sanjay Bangar and Ambati Rayudu went at loggerheads while debating …

Big Bash League: A Mankading attempt raises tempers in BBL | Cricket News

Published by Webster

In what was a Mankading attempt, England all-rounder and Adelaide Strikers’ Jamie Overton issued a warning to Perth Scorchers batsman Finn Allen after removing the bails in the non-striker’s end following a fiery exchange between the two. Later, the all-rounder told the umpire that he was not appealing for the wicket. In a Big Bash League match watched by a crowd of 41,624 at Adelaide Oval on Tuesday night, Overton was first smashed for 18 runs in his first over during the 143-run chase by Scorchers. During the eighth over, Allen was short of the crease at the non-striker’s end when Overton hit the bails with the ball during the ‘Mankad’ attempt and issued a warning to the New Zealand batter Allen. Overton did not bowl again during the chase in the match with Scorchers winning the match by seven wickets. He had a fiery exchange with the batsman at the change of overs before the umpire intervened. “He did say to the umpire, no that’s the warning. I think that confrontation with Allen has …

Jasprit Bumrah’s Injury Tempers Return Of Stalwarts For ODIs Against Sri Lanka

Published by Webster

India were left with a mixed feeling on the eve of their ODI series against Sri Lanka as on one hand they will have stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli returning to the side while on the other, unfit pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will yet again miss the action. rahBum was expected to bolster the bowling attack in the three-match series commencing in Guwahati on Tuesday, but his return has been delayed further after he failed to recover completely from the stress fracture in the lower back, which has seen him miss several assignments including the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup. There is now a question mark over whether the pace spearhead will be available for the white-ball home series against New Zealand beginning on January 18, and whether he will be in contention for the four-Test Border-Gavaskar series commencing on February 9. With India set to host the ODI World Cup in October-November this year, Bumrah’s last-minute exclusion is only adding to the mystery surrounding the pace bowler’s recovery and rehabilitation process. …
