Worked Hard On Fitness To Keep Motivation After IPL Stint, Says David Warner Ahead Of PSL Campaign
Indian Premier League: David Warner, the former Australian opener, has revealed that he worked really hard to keep himself motivated and fit after retiring from the Indian Premier League (IPL) two years ago, as he reaches Pakistan and gets ready to captain the Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), a news report said on Wednesday. The 39-year-old Warner, who has represented Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals in a stellar 15-season career in the IPL before joining the neighbouring League last year, quit international cricket a few years back. He had to endure some tough times because of poor form in IPL, lost his captaincy, and was not retained by his franchise. Warner, who led Sunrisers to their only IPL title in 2016, scored 6,565 runs in 184 matches, which places him fourth behind Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, and Rohit Sharma. Warner, who represented Australia in all three formats from 2009 to 2024, said he kept the fitness regime intact after leaving the IPL. Post IPL, I had to keep myself motivated and fit, so I kept my fitness regime and followed a good diet, and here I am stronger and fitter than most of the players my age, Warner told Telecom Asia Sport (www.telecomasia.net). This is the second year Warner will be playing in the PSL. He scored 368 runs in 11 PSL matches last year, leading Karachi Kings to the play-offs, where they lost to Islamabad United. According to the report, Warner hoped new inductees in the team would help them achieve better results. We have quite a few exciting young players who will shine through to give us better results, said Warner. This is the second year Warner will be playing in the PSL. He scored 368 runs in 11 PSL matches last year, leading Karachi Kings to the play-offs, where they lost to Islamabad United.

IPL 2026: I Think It's A Fresh Start Now, Says Prithvi Shaw On Return To Delhi Capitals
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Delhi Capitals (DC) opener Prithvi Shaw says he is treating the upcoming Indian Premier League season (IPL) as a fresh start for himself in the set-up, adding that his focus is firmly on contributing for the team and then working his way back into the Indian team. It's always a new start, hundred percent. There are a lot of memories, but its history and things can't be repeated. It's a fresh start. There's a fresh team, a lot of new things have happened. I was not here last year; I just joined this year. So there are a lot of new things, so I think it's a fresh start. Whatever we have practiced, we have done it so that the IPL can start well. So obviously it's a fresh start. All the good memories we have collected together were done previously and I think it's a fresh start now, Shaw told reporters on the sidelines of DCs practice session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. Shaw, who missed IPL 2025, was re-signed by Delhi for the 2026 season. Between the 2018 and 2024 seasons, he scored 1,892 runs in 79 innings at a strike rate of 148, though his form fluctuated. He managed only 106 runs in 2023 but showed more explosiveness in 2024 with 198 runs at a strike rate of 164, though he had five scores of below 20. In between, fitness and behavioural issues meant he went out of favour for the Mumbai domestic team and shifted base to Maharashtra. I think everything is going well. I have never personally considered myself weak. I have always believed in myself, even if no one has. My family has supported me. I am not a person who thinks a lot. It's all about the present for me - what I am doing today, how much effort I can put in today. Obviously, there were a lot of learnings in the last few years. You have to keep learning. If there is nothing to learn, then what's the point? So obviously, we have to keep learning. I have handled all the ups and downs very well. It was a lot of fun in the last few years. There were runs and no runs. I worked hard in some places. So it's been good, he added. What has also contributed to Prithvi being in a happy space is his recent engagement to long-time partner, actor and influencer Akriti Agarwal. I am not married yet. I feel that when you get a good partner, then it's the right time and I did it. Actually, this is the first time I was asked this question. That's why I am a little flustered. I don't usually do it. Stability was there before. But obviously, she has been my lucky charm. Both of them worked hard to build a relationship. It wasn't easy for us as well. But we both understood our life and where we belong. I am a cricketer; she is an actress. But we have to sacrifice some stuff and keep all those things in mind, he said. A lot of people still feel Shaw, who has been capped in all formats for India, is still the next-door prodigy and the opener replied to that notion in affirmative. I am still a small kid and I dont feel old. Sometimes I feel that I have just now won the U-19 World Cup. But it's been more than eight years now. So sometimes you get a partner who understands you. So I think I have got the right person beside me and it's been good. Shaw had a mixed run in domestic cricket last year, scoring 183 runs in seven innings in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy at a strike rate of 161, but fell cheaply in four innings. He acknowledged the lessons learnt from a downward phase have led to him giving his 200 percent to being better at his cricket. I think that's why I am playing. There is no doubt that I have to come back to the Indian team. That's why I am working very hard. The amount of hard work that I used to do before - I think I do it three times more today. Actually, I don't like to talk about it. But I feel that I am giving not 100 percent - but 200 percent to come back to the Indian team or to win this trophy or to give 100 percent on a match day or on a practice day as well. It's not only about match days, but I try on practice day as well - not 100 percent, to give 200 percent. If I am not feeling good, then I won't be practicing. You don't get anything by practicing 50 percent. If you are on ground, you give your 100 percent or you don't come to the ground. Whatever ups and downs happened last year, I have done all this with a lot of respect. Obviously it stays in my mind when I will be back. But there is only one way - work hard and give your 100 percent. Whatever you have, if you have made some mistakes - learn from it. When you grow up, you will realize those mistakes. So you don't have to talk to anyone or your senior or mentor will tell you. Things that you already know, he will tell you. You better understand those things and then you move forward, he elaborated. Shaw acknowledged expectations from family, fans and franchise but stressed his commitment is to put his best effort over thinking of outcomes. Everyone has expectations - I am not talking about the fans or the franchise. I am talking about the family. My family has a lot of expectations as well and like you said, that cricket is such a thing, you have to give your 100 percent. If you are doing good that day - you give your 100 percent and it converts to 100 percent and you can't promise anything. How will that day go for you - it might be 30 ball 50 and 50 ball 50. It can be a 0 or whatever. So my mentality is to go out there and give 100 percent. I can understand how fans feel and how the franchise, the owners and the support staff feel. I understand that - whatever they give us, we have to obviously show them over there. But for me it's like, whenever I go there. I try my best to do and that doesn't happen. If there are some mistakes in it, then I will practice and apply it. I won't say that in all matches, I will score 100. That is practically impossible as there has to be a consistent path. The consistency, how he takes it and is mentally ready. The fans, who understand cricket from outside. They don't understand it from inside. But I still understand, as they expect that if Prithvi is there, he makes good runs. I can understand that and not from now, as since I was young, expectations have started and I understand them as well, he explained. Talking about the opening slot and any communication from DC think-tank, Shaw felt the competition is still huge. I haven't thought about it. If KL (Rahul) opens, I hope that whoever opens, does it well. I won't say that I should open or whoever opens, wins the match. Obviously there is competition - cricket is such a thing. Whether you play Ranji Trophy or IPL or India A, there will be competition. Today there are 10 openers, as you can see. So there will be competition in my team. There is a group and so I won't say that whoever plays, makes runs well because there is a team and a family. For me, team comes first, then I see myself. So whoever opens with him. I hope he has a great season. Talking about the opening slot and any communication from DC think-tank, Shaw felt the competition is still huge. I haven't thought about it.

IPL 2026: Focused On Contributing To The Team, Instead Of Personal Wicket Targets, Says DCs Mukesh
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Delhi Capitals (DC) fast bowler Mukesh Kumar said he is focused on contributing to the teams success in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season rather than chasing personal targets. Mukesh made his IPL debut in 2023 after being picked up for Rs 5.5 crore. He was retained for the 2024 season and finished as the joint-highest wicket-taker for DC with 17 scalps. His price rose to Rs 8 crore in 2025, as DC retained him via the RTM option. In IPL 2025, Mukesh claimed 12 wickets in 11 matches, the third-most for the franchise. However, he struggled with the new ball, taking only three wickets in the Power-play despite bowling more than half his overs in that phase. He also endured a tough time in the death overs, conceding at 16.3 runs per over. All the main pacers are here. Nattu, me, and Lungi. So we will work together, and we will focus on what the team demands. As far as the target of wickets is concerned, there is no such target. My main focus is on my skills and on my variations. I want to contribute as much as I can to my team. This is my target, and I want to contribute as much as I can to my team and try to win as much as I can, Mukesh told reporters on the sidelines of DCs practice session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. Capped in all three formats for India, Mukesh featured in only three matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025 due to a hamstring injury and picked up one wicket at an economy of 12.1. But on gaining full fitness, he showed improvement in the Vijay Hazare Trophy by taking 10 wickets in six games at 5.8. Obviously, I am working on everything, along with the length ball, which is required in a T20. If it's a yorker or a wide yorker, then it's optional. For every bowler, if the dew is falling or if you are getting hit, then you have to put that thing to use. So I am working on everything. When I had an injury, I started to focus more and practice purposefully. I am more focused on these things. As far as the World Cup, WTC, and Olympics are concerned, I don't think about it that much. I think about what I have to do in today's match. What variations can I bring in what I am practising? What do I have to bowl to the batters? I am more focused on these things. I have it in the back of my mind that I have to do well and come back to the (Indian) team in the future, he added. Mukesh also said he draws inspiration from senior Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj, describing him as an elder brother figure in his life and career. I have been associated with him for a long time. We played matches together - T20, one-day, and Ranji Trophy. So I get to learn something from him. He has played for India for so many years and is still playing. As far as my bonding with him is concerned, he is like an elder brother to me. He keeps telling me something or the other. For example, if nothing is happening from one end, then I go and ask him what he is doing and what he is not doing. He helps me in this, and he is a very helpful person. He also spoke glowingly about Jammu & Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi joining the DC team after being acquired for Rs 8.4 crore. For a bowler who has done so well in the domestic circuit, it feels good to get money and all these things. It feels good that a bowler is struggling and coming from such a small place and making such a big name. As far as my bonding with him is concerned, he is like an elder brother to me. He keeps telling me something or the other. For example, if nothing is happening from one end, then I go and ask him what he is doing and what he is not doing. He helps me in this, and he is a very helpful person. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Mukesh signed off by praising the backing hes got from DC captain Axar Patel. First of all, he is a very good person, and we always talk positively. We stay together, and I get to talk to him about field placement and all these things.

If You Win A Home World Cup, You Can Go And Play And Win Anywhere, Says Harmanpreet
ODI World Cup: India captain Harmanpreet Kaur said the teams triumph in last years home Womens ODI World Cup has given them the belief to succeed in any showpiece event in the world, adding that preparations were in full swing for the upcoming Womens T20 World Cup, to be played from June 12 to July 5 in England. Before taking part in the mega event, Harmanpreet will lead India in a five-match T20I series in South Africa from April 17-27, before squaring off against England in a three-game series. India have never won the Womens T20 World Cup, but Harmanpreet & Co will be aiming to clinch the title after gaining confidence from winning the ODI World Cup at home. See, we always try to do our best in the ICC World Cups. We have definitely gained a lot of confidence after winning the last World Cup. Thing is, if you win a home World Cup, you can go and play and win a World Cup anywhere. There is a lot of pressure in the home World Cup, which we all felt when the tournament was happening from September-November last year. I think the upcoming World Cup is also something we all are really working hard for. We played in India last year and now we are going to South Africa before going for the World Cup in England. So I think this is the time where we are preparing more. We are really looking forward to the World Cup and hopefully we can play there very well, Harmanpreet told reporters on the sidelines of a 1,500-plus seat section in the North Pavilion section of the Omaxe State Stadium in Dwarka, New Delhi, being named after her. The stand named after Harmanpreet will host only female fans and their families and is part of a 30,000-seat facility at a Rs 2,500 crore, 50-acre integrated sports and lifestyle destination in Dwarka Sector 19B, developed in partnership with the Delhi Development Authority (DDA). The honour also makes Harmanpreet the only womens cricketer in India to have two stadium stands named after her. Making a stadium is one thing, but to dedicate a stand for only girls is something which really touched my heart. For a girl, playing cricket is a big dream, but for some girls who are not able to play and fulfill their dreams, but have a strong desire to watch games giving them that security, freedom to go and enjoy their favourite sport, not only cricket, as we can watch football also that is a very good thing and a very emotional moment for me because as a cricketer, I only had the dream of playing. I never thought that one day a stand will be named after my name. So this is a very emotional moment for me, but I really want to thank them for giving me this reward. I think such things are very rare in the life of a cricketer and I am going to remember this all my life. I will be playing cricket for a few more years, but these are the things which are going to stay with me forever, said a deeply emotional Harmanpreet. On the role of the Womens Premier League (WPL) in raising standards of womens cricket in the country, Harmanpreet said, Well, I think I have been asked this question many times before. You can take for example, IPL has played a very big role in improving and taking men's cricket to another level. Due to that, we got back-to-back T20 World Cups there. So I think it has played a very important role in how you can improve your team at what stage. Similarly, WPL has played a very big role in improving women's cricket. If you look at our team's attitude, it has completely changed now. We have won the ICC title only after three editions of WPL. So I think WPL is going to play a very big role in the future. Hopefully, WPL will continue to support us like this and we will keep winning ICC titles. Asked about the reception and rise in recognition and visibility for herself and the team after Indias ODI World Cup win, Harmanpreet explained, Look, I believe that in any field, you have to do something special. You have to win a title. Then only you will get the recognition. Otherwise, it feels like whatever hard work you have done, it all goes to waste. So I think in all these years, it is not that we have only worked hard this year. We have been working hard for so many years. Not only our team, but all the women's cricketers who have come before us, they have been working even though they spend money from their own pocket. So I think winning a title was very important. After winning that, the response we are getting from Indian fans, media and everyone, I think it is a very big thing for us. Speaking on the occasion, Mohit Goel, MD Omaxe, said, Harmanpreet's journey is about discipline, resilience, and leadership. Naming a stand after her at The Omaxe State is our way of honouring that journey and acknowledging how far women's sport has come in India. Not only our team, but all the women's cricketers who have come before us, they have been working even though they spend money from their own pocket. So I think winning a title was very important. After winning that, the response we are getting from Indian fans, media and everyone, I think it is a very big thing for us.

Delhi HC Grants Injunction In Favour Of Gautam Gambhir In Personality Rights Case
The Delhi High Court: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday said it will pass orders directing social media intermediaries and e-commerce platforms to take down online content unauthorisedly using the name and images of former India cricketer and current head coach Gautam Gambhir for commercial gains. A single-judge Bench of Justice Jyoti Singh observed that directions would be issued to tech platforms, including Meta and Google, to remove objectionable links flagged on behalf of Gambhir and to furnish details of the entities responsible for uploading such content. The Delhi High Court also granted protection to Gambhirs personality and publicity rights, directing the removal of objectionable posts and content circulating online without his consent. During the hearing, it was contended on behalf of Gambhir that his name, voice and photographs were being exploited for commercial purposes without authorisation, including through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and deepfake technology. The Delhi High Court directed Meta, Google and e-commerce platforms such as Amazon to take down the offending URLs and online posts misusing Gambhirs identity. Justice Singh said a detailed order would be passed, including directions to provide Basic Subscriber Information (BSI) of the entities behind such content. The development comes in a plea filed by Gambhir before the Commercial Division of the Delhi High Court, alleging a coordinated campaign of digital impersonation involving AI-enabled face-swapping and voice-cloning tools. The suit names multiple defendants, including social media platforms, e-commerce websites and intermediaries, accusing them of facilitating the spread of misleading and fabricated content as well as unauthorised sale of merchandise bearing his name and likeness. Gambhir has argued that there has been a sharp rise in such content across platforms like Instagram, X, YouTube and Facebook, including viral deepfake videos falsely attributed to him, which garnered significant public attention. He has submitted that such misuse not only misleads the public but also causes serious reputational and professional harm, particularly in light of his current role as head coach of the Indian mens cricket team. The plea seeks a permanent injunction restraining all defendants from using his name, image, voice or persona without consent, along with damages of Rs 2.5 crore and directions for removal of infringing content. He has submitted that such misuse not only misleads the public but also causes serious reputational and professional harm, particularly in light of his current role as head coach of the Indian mens cricket team.

To Live In The Change After Womens ODI World Cup Win Is A Great Feeling, Says Harmanpreet
ODI World Cup: India captain Harmanpreet Kaur said living through the change in visibility and recognition of womens cricket after winning the 2025 Womens ODI World Cup triumph was a great feeling, adding that she and her team knew change would arrive in the country once they had a big trophy against their name. Since the time India won the 2025 Womens ODI World Cup at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, it had transformed the visibility of womens cricket in the country, with tons of accolades coming in for Harmanpreet and her team from all quarters. Obviously, I am feeling good. We all knew that when we win a World Cup, things will change. So, to feel that change and to get a chance to live that change, it's a great feeling, Harmanpreet told IANS in an exclusive conversation, on the sidelines of a 1,500-plus seat section in the North Pavilion section of the Omaxe State Stadium in Dwarka, New Delhi, being named after her. The naming of Harmanpreet Kaur Stand is aimed at encouraging more female spectators to attend matches in what is also the countrys first dedicated Pink Stand, which will take shape when the stadium opens at the end of 2027. I think it's a great achievement. It's a big thing to bring even such a thought in this world. Nowadays, we are talking about girls going into playing sports. But still, we never thought about how things should be for those who are going to watch. So, keeping them in mind and giving them the same kind of attention is also very important. So, I think it will be great to see girls coming to the stand and cheering for their favorite team. So, it's a great initiative, added Harmanpreet. The right-handed batter also stressed on the importance of building infrastructure for womens cricket, including stadiums, residential academies and training facilities, to ease the path for the next generation of female cricketers aspiring to play at the highest level. I think it's going to be very good for them because they are not going to see those hard days. Our seniors saw it before us and we also saw it a little bit. So, now I think people like Omaxe, they are really taking care of it - so that it should be a good stadium for the kids. It's not only about international cricket - it's about the people and even the college kids. They will start thinking about the pitches where they can come and train. They can feel the same kind of atmosphere that players feel at the international level. So, I think it's a great initiative and hopefully the new generation will take the best out of it, she added. I think it's going to be very good for them because they are not going to see those hard days. Our seniors saw it before us and we also saw it a little bit.

From Truck Drivers Sacrifice To Rs. 5.2 Crore Glory: Mangesh Yadavs Inspiring Rise To RCB
Madhya Pradesh T20 League: Before Mangesh Yadav ever pitched a ball in professional cricket, his father Ramavadh Yadav worked overnight, contemplating how he would secure funds for his sons dream. He invested all his resources in a boy who initially played cricket in a modest courtyard with his mother. Today, Mangesh Yadav has a contract worth Rs. 5.2 crore with the reigning champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Reflecting on their financial woes, Mangeshs father said, I had to struggle a lot for money. Sometimes I couldnt sleep at night, thinking about how I would raise money for him. The life of a truck driver is no life at all. You dont have time to eat or bathe. When the truck is full, you worry about offloading, and when its empty, you have to worry about filling it up. A 23-year-old from Borgaon in Madhya Pradeshs Chhindwara district, raised in humble conditions, developed his cricket skills early on. His uncle recognised his talent at tennis tournaments and motivated him to go to Delhi to train with coach Phool Chand Sharma. The 23-year-old said, If I am playing cricket today it is because of Phool Chand sir. When I went to Delhi, my father had given me Rs 24,000 with great difficulty. I dont even know how that money got over in the first month. His father often had to contact people close to him to arrange the funds required for Mangeshs training. Phool Chand Sharma said, Mangesh was staying with someone in Delhi. I saw that he was a good bowler, but he didnt even have enough to eat. I told him to come and stay at the hostel. Thats where his journey really began. I dont care if someone has money or not. If the player is good, he can come, eat, stay, and practice. Mangesh also recalled a brief phase where he lost focus. I had started becoming lazy. One day sir called me and told me to pack my bag and go home. After some time, I apologised and told him it wouldnt happen again. Then I realised what I was missing and what I had. I looked at my family and thought, Dad is working so hard. Everyone is so dedicated for me. Eager to seize the opportunity, the young fast bowler dedicated himself fully to training. He competed in the DDCA league, local tournaments, and even attended the UP U-19 camp, yet the next step still remained out of reach. His father added, There were times he would go all the way to a selection camp, and he would be told his name had been called by mistake. Those were the days I felt helpless, like I had made a grave mistake by giving my son this dream. The pivotal moment occurred during the Madhya Pradesh T20 League, when Mangesh took 14 wickets in six matches with an impressive average of 12.00. After playing for Madhya Pradesh in domestic cricket alongside RCB captain Rajat Patidar, he finally received the long-awaited call from Royal Challengers Bangalore. At the trials, his ability to adapt to different match situations was put under the scanner. At the trials, DK [Dinesh Karthik] sir came up to me and said, You are bowling well. Now show me this ball. He made me bowl in different situations; with the new ball, the fifth over, the tenth over, the fourteenth over, and even the eighteenth and twentieth overs. It was surprising for me to see how a player at that level thinks. After the auction, Mangesh appreciated the coach who had supported him throughout the journey. When I came back to the club, I just wanted to meet him and touch his feet, thank him for trusting me and investing so much.
