Anshula Kapoor has shared an emotional video from her wedding celebrations, offering a glimpse of a deeply personal moment involving her brother, actor Arjun Kapoor. The video captures Arjun getting teary-eyed while remembering their late mother, Mona Shourie Kapoor, during his speech at Anshulas wedding to Rohan Thakkar. Anshula tied the knot with Rohan Thakkar in July 2026. More than a month after the wedding, she revisited some of the memorable moments from the ceremony and shared the unseen video ahead of Raksha Bandhan. In the clip, Arjun speaks about their mother and reflects on how she would have been part of every moment of Anshulas special day. Taking the microphone, Arjun said, I want to take this moment to speak about our mom. He then imagined how Mona would have reacted to the wedding, adding, She would have loved every single moment over these last few days. As he continued, Arjun recalled how his mother would have enjoyed the rituals and celebrations. He said, She would have loved every ritual. She would have loved every tiny detail and done exactly the way Rohan's family wanted. Sab kuch waise hi hota. She would have danced. She would have celebrated and somehow she would have found a way to personally take care of each and every one of you who is here today. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anshula Kapoor (@anshulakapoor) Arjun also connected the rain outside the wedding venue with his mothers presence, saying, I know she is here with us tonight because itni jo baarish ho rahi hai na bahar, woh unke khushi ke aanshu hain.

The actor also spoke about his bond with Anshula, recalling that he realised how much he missed his sister after she moved out. Sharing the video, Anshula admitted that she had watched it several times and found herself focusing more on Arjuns emotions than her own. She wrote, Ive watched this video so many times, and I always end up watching Bhai more than I watch myself. She further added, The way he looks at me. The way he tries to hold it together. The pride, the happiness, the tears all of it. Anshula also acknowledged that watching the video helped her understand the emotions her brother experienced on her wedding day. She concluded her note by reaffirming their bond, writing, Bhai, no matter where life takes us, Ill always be your little sister. And youll always be home to me.

Abid Mushtaq spins North Zone into Duleep Trophy semifinals
Jammu and Kashmirs left-arm spinner Abid Mushtaq produced a match-winning performance, claiming nine wickets as North Zone defeated West Zone by 52 runs in the second quarterfinal of the Duleep Trophy at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1 in Bengaluru. Mushtaq finished with match figures of 9 for 99, including 5 for 39 in the first innings and 4 for 60 in the second, to play a decisive role in North Zones hard-fought victory and help his side to book their place in semifinal. Mushtaq struck early on Wednesday, bowling Tanush Kotian in the second over of the day before returning to dismiss Tushar Deshpande. Nishant Sindhu then trapped Urvil Patel LBW to seal the 52-run victory. Reacting to North Zones victory and the performances of the J&K players, JKCA CEO Brigadier Anil Gupta said the result would provide confidence and a platform for the players to perform at higher levels. This win will give confidence and a platform for our players to perform at the highest levels. North Zone will make it to the final, as per my assessment, Gupta said. The fact that J&K is a major contributor to this team only strengthens our belief that J&K cricket is on the rise and our players are being recognised at the national level, he said. Gupta said it was now up to the players to make the most of the opportunity. It is up to them to perform and grab the attention of the national selectors as well as the cricket fraternity across the country, he added. The win came after West Zones middle order had mounted a strong fightback. A 111-run partnership between Musheer Khan, who scored 96, and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who made 66, had taken West Zone to 211 for 4 and raised hopes of a successful chase. However, the dismissal of Gaikwad and Musheer triggered a dramatic collapse, with West Zone losing their remaining wickets in quick succession. Earlier, Mushtaq had given North Zone a crucial first-innings advantage with a five-wicket haul. He dismissed Prithvi Shaw early and went on to return figures of 5 for 39 as West Zone were bowled out for 187. North Zone had earlier posted 251 in their first innings, with Anshul Kamboj scoring 60, Ayush Badoni making 51 and Ayush Doseja contributing 42. In the second innings, Badoni scored another half-century while Sindhu made 44 and J&Ks Abdul Samad contributed 30. North Zone were bowled out for 222. Apart from Mushtaq and Samad, J&K players Qamran Iqbal and Sunil Kumar were also part of the North Zone playing XI. The strong representation of J&K players in the North Zone squad follows the teams historic Ranji Trophy triumph, after which six J&K players were selected for the Duleep Trophy. Kanhaiya Wadhawan, J&K batter and wicketkeeper was also named captain of the North Zone side.

Walking Style, Body Language Show Everything Inside UPW Chief Scout Davids Philosophy
Inside UP Warriorz: Long before the first ball of the 2027 Womens Premier League (WPL), Neetu David is already at work from the edge of the boundary ropes, watching the subtle mechanics of a player simply walking across the field. For the former India left-arm spinner, who spent five years as chief selector and signed off from her tenure by selecting the 2025 ODI World Cup-winning team, a cricketers stride reveals far more to her than any conventional stat sheet. Now taking on the role of chief scout for WPL franchise UP Warriorz, Neetu brings her uniquely intuitive barometer to the high-stakes world of franchise cricket and the scouting universe. I can't speak for what others do. But in terms of my process, what I like to see and what I think, according to me, is that the walking style of the players tells how the player will be. I tend to understand a player based on how their walking style is -- whether it is very agile or slow or very mentally tough. Seeing that helps me gain the initial understanding, and when I go to watch a match, I like to go before the match so that I can see how the players are doing their respective work in the outfield, and I focus a lot on it. Yes, because it makes a lot of difference to see the player in a match and what she is doing before playing that game. I also see her body language before and after the match. It shows you a lot of things, and this is my personal view, Neetu told IANS in an exclusive interview on Wednesday. That sharp eye for hidden potential has already given a lot of players to the national side, especially after WPL began in 2023. There are a lot of players we see and think that they are not ready. But they are ready for the challenge. When Kranti Gaud came, she didn't know anything. But today she is a star. When Sree Charani came, she didn't know anything. We used to think, what will she play? But when you watch her bowling, you will feel that this girl is very different. There are a lot of things that we don't understand. But when we set up a camp, we understand that we have chosen the right player. Like, this is the right player, and she will go ahead, adds Neetu. Her entry to the UPW set-up is an interesting tale - exhausted after wrapping up an assignment with the Bihar team, Neetu initially sought time off before a persuasive call from a trusted person in her circle sealed the deal. Kshemal (Waingankar, COO) ji called me and asked me if I was interested or not. So, I told him to give me two days' time because my Bihar assignment was just over and I was not getting time for myself. So, I gave him this answer directly because I did not know what the system was. But after two days, I called and discussed with my senior, who is very important to me, and the reply which came was, Aap immediately haan bol do as ek toh yeh aapki apni franchise hai (You immediately say yes to it as first of all, it is your franchise). Then I called Kshemal ji and told him that, I am okay, I am in. Moving from tracking state age-group tournaments to see who can go to U19 and senior Indian teams to observing various leagues has presented a sharp learning curve even for an ICC Hall of Famer like Neetu, who knows the best of all the worlds. There is a lot of difference, as in the domestic circuit, you do know how your players are because you have been watching them since the U-15s. Here, the role is a little different because you have to follow international cricket, and all the leagues, tournaments, or whatever is going on right now in India and overseas. You have to follow everything right now, and for me, it is a little bit of a new thing, and the support staff of UP Warriorz has helped me a lot. I am trying to get more into this thing, and I am seeing that there are a lot of difficulties, but I am also enjoying it a lot, and its very interesting too, she said. Despite the variance in international team selection and assembling a franchise T20 team, Neetu maintains that there are still some similarities. I feel that both are equal in a lot of ways. In the domestic and international cricket circuits I have seen and experienced so far, there are a lot of age groups, and there are a lot of tournaments. So, you have to focus a lot on the performance of each state and each kid and see their performance and data very carefully. When you go to internationals, it is the same, and there are not a lot of difficulties because there is not a lot of junior-level cricket. So, I don't think there is a lot of difference in that, she added. The primary puzzle for UPW, a side yet to win the WPL and wooden spooners in the last two seasons, to solve is also identifying players capable of carrying the mental burden of franchise cricket. For that, we have to see a lot of things because right now, while looking for players for India, there were difficulties. I won't say that there weren't any. But here, I have to think about a lot of things. Like there are international cricketers and our national cricketers, and considering that, we have to think a lot about whether this player will be able to play at that level or not. Will she be able to handle the pressure or not? This is a bit of a big challenge for us. Yet, Neetu remains optimistic about the upward trajectory of the Indian talent pool since WPLs inception. Its been very good. Earlier, we had very few bench strength players. But now you will have so many players who can go to play for India. We think that because of the injuries, we are not getting many players. But now you will have a backup of every player in every side in the coming years, she added. With an off-season camp done recently in Bengaluru under head coach Abhishek Nayar and mentor Lisa Sthalekar, UPW is laying the groundwork one step at a time for having a memorable 2027 WPL. Yes, we had an off-season camp there, and some players had come. We were discussing with Abhishek and Lisa that we want to see our combination, and we want to see the ready players.

I Wanted To Showcase My Skillset: Arshdeep Eyes Test Chance After Duleep Trophy Return
Duleep Trophy: India pacer Arshdeep Singh said he is keen to prove he has the skills and stamina required for Test cricket, with a rare first-class appearance in the Duleep Trophy giving him an opportunity to make his case for a place in the longest format. Arshdeep, who has played 18 ODIs and 91 T20Is for India, is still waiting for his Test debut. His focus on white-ball cricket has limited his chances in red-ball matches, causing him to wait nearly a year between his 22nd and 23rd first-class games. The 2026 Duleep Trophy quarter-final against West Zone in Bengaluru turned out to be a crucial test for Arshdeep. He delivered sustained spells in both innings, ending with figures of 3/53 and 1/40, helping North Zone win by 52 runs. Very rarely do I get the chance to play red-ball cricket, and this was a chance. I wanted to showcase my skill set and just see how many overs I can bowl. The rhythm feels nice. After a long time, I was playing a red-ball game. I put in a lot of hours in practice, and it felt nice. The body is sore, but its a good sore because we got the win, Arshdeep said after the game, as quoted by Cricinfo. The 27-year-old also shared that he changed his training approach before the tournament, shifting his focus to red-ball bowling after mostly playing white-ball cricket recently. This time around, I knew the Duleep Trophy was coming, I was practising with red ball. When white-ball season is coming, then you practice with the white ball. Its very specific training based on what kind of season is coming in front of you, he added. Arshdeep finds the main appeal of red-ball cricket in the chance to continually challenge batters. His head coach, Ajay Sharma, highlighted this point to him before the match. Ajay Sharma, our head coach, just told me that even if you dont get wickets with the new ball, you have a chance to come back in the second spell. Red ball has that beauty of giving you a chance again, he said. Arshdeep has previously played county cricket, appearing in five matches for Kent in 2023. He believes the experience of playing red-ball cricket in England can be valuable, although Indias crowded schedule makes another county stint difficult. Whenever you get a chance, whenever there is a time frame you can go to England to play county cricket, that is a really good experience, but now, with the IPL, the white-ball season at home, and domestic cricket also going on, you cant go play county. There are crucial games getting played here. We want to push our domestic cricket as well and make sure the level doesnt drop down. We all choose to play here and give our best, he said. Arshdeep noted that the Bengaluru surface posed a unique challenge. Although it was overcast, the pitch favoured the spinners, requiring him to rely on strategic variations in his plans and field placements rather than traditional seam movement.

When its a different wicket, when theres nothing off the pitch and just variable bounce, you just got to play with the field and try out different things. Article Source: IANS
