Auqib Nabi Joins Surrey To Play Three Matches In County Championship
Auqib Nabi: Uncapped Indian fast-bowler Auqib Nabi has joined the English County side Surrey to participate in three matches in the County Championship after his recent India call-up. The 29-year-old has been one of the emerging stars in Indian domestic cricket after his stellar Ranji Trophy campaign, during which he picked 60 wickets and helped Jammu and Kashmir lift their maiden title. Nabi will now be in action for Surrey in their upcoming three matches against Yorkshire, Sussex and Glamorgan. IANS had previously reported on August 28 about the possibility of Nabi joining Surrey on Sunday and playing in the County Championship. He will play in three matches for Surrey, starting with the game against Yorkshire on September 2 at The Oval. It is followed by games against Sussex and Glamorgan in Hove and The Oval on September 8 and 15, respectively. Yes, Auqib has got his visa for going to England, after all the paperwork was done. It is understood that he's expected to depart for England from New Delhi today. If all goes well, he may be available for the game starting on September 2. The main purpose of this stint is also for the Indian team management and selectors to check if Nabi can swing the ball well there in England, as the climate in New Zealand for the Test series will need for him to do that in conducive conditions with the red Kookaburra ball in hand, a source familiar with the development had told IANS on Sunday. The move comes after he received his maiden India call-up as a replacement for the injured Jasprit Bumrah for the recent Test series against Sri Lanka, although he did not make his debut as India went with two pacers in both matches. While Nabi will be in action in the English county cricket, he is expected to return in time for India A's matches against Australia A, which will start from September 22. On this short-term association, Auqib Nabi said: Its an honour to join Surrey, one of the best Clubs in England. Im looking forward to learning from the group and helping them for the next three matches. While Nabi will be in action in the English county cricket, he is expected to return in time for India A's matches against Australia A, which will start from September 22. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Nabi has been a star performer in the previous two Ranji trophies, having picked up 100 wickets across the two seasons. He also hogged the limelight when he picked four wickets in four balls for the North Zone in the Duleep Trophy in 2025. He was later signed by Delhi Capitals in 2026, where he played five matches for the franchise. Article Source: IANS

South Delhi Superstarz sealed the title with a commanding seven-wicket victory over Central Delhi Kings in the final, successfully chasing 183 with 10 balls to spare. Ankit Dabas and Anmol Sharma played key roles in the successful chase, scoring 62 runs each. The victory marked another significant achievement for the franchise, which has now seen both its men's and women's teams enjoy title success across successive editions of the tournament. The women's team won the DPL in 2025, while the men's side followed with the 2026 crown. The franchise's women's team is also set to feature in the final of the ongoing season on Wednesday.

Abhishek Banerjee has spoken about how his work in Stolen influenced the way filmmakers approached him professionally. Following the success of Stree 2, the actor took on the lead role in the survival thriller, which presented him in a different genre and required him to carry much of the films emotional and narrative arc. Reflecting on the shift in his career after Stree 2, Abhishek said, Stree 2 jaisi commercial film ke baad, meri agli film thi Stolen. It was a completely different space and a different genre. So, I think that also worked for me where people saw that I can take responsibility of a film on my shoulders and be with it till the last point. I am leading a few interesting projects and Im enjoying this journey. Directed by Karan Tejpal, Stolen revolves around two brothers searching for a kidnapped baby, with Abhishek playing Gautam Bansal. The film premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on September 7, 2023, before its release on Amazon Prime Video on May 10, 2025. The thriller also travelled to international film festivals, including those in Beijing, Japans Skip City and Zurich. The actors upcoming projects continue to span different genres and formats. He will next reprise his popular character Compounder in Mirzapur: The Movie, which is scheduled to release on September 4. The film brings back several characters from the Mirzapur universe, including Divyendu Sharmas Munna Tripathi, while Abhishek returns with the characters familiar Ustara.

Excel Entertainment co-founder and producer Ritesh Sidhwani has opened up about the challenges of bringing Mirzapur from streaming to the big screen with Mirzapur: The Movie. The upcoming film marks the theatrical transition of the popular franchise and is set to bring its established characters and world to cinemas on September 4, 2026. With the series having already completed three seasons, one of the key challenges for the makers was creating a feature film that could offer something new to existing fans while also functioning as a standalone cinematic experience. During an interview, Sidhwani was asked what Mirzapur: The Movie could do in a theatre that the series could not, particularly given the challenge of fitting the franchises extensive story into a three-hour feature. Explaining the approach, he said, We are taking an IP created as a series and turning it into a feature film. We have seen the reverse happen many times, where films are turned into series. So, in a way, we are breaking the format again and trying something different. Mirzapur has a very loyal fan base, and we are giving those fans something new to experience in theatres. We are essentially saying, You already love these characters. Now come and experience them in a completely different way. Sidhwani further explained that the film does not attempt to compress the three seasons of the series into one theatrical outing. Instead, the makers developed an untold chapter set within the timeline of the first season. He said, The idea was to take an untold chapter from Season 1 (between two or three episodes) and bring it to the big screen. We also wanted to bring back beloved characters, including Munna Bhaiya and others who were no longer around by Season 3. The first challenge was to tell a story without affecting the narrative of the later seasons. Secondly, we had to ensure the film didn't feel like three stitched-together episodes of the series. It had to work as a film, with its own beginning, middle and end. It needed its own midpoint, emotional journey and payoff so that audiences could enjoy it as a complete story without affecting Season 4, which will follow. However, if anyone has not watched any season of the series, he/she would still be able to enjoy the film. The films theatrical format is being positioned as a new way for audiences to revisit the Mirzapur universe, while retaining its established characters and tone. The return of characters such as Munna Bhaiya has further added to the anticipation surrounding the film. Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, Mirzapur: The Movie is directed by Gurmmeet Singh and written by Puneet Krishna. The film is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment, with Kassim Jagmagia and Vishal Ramchandani serving as co-producers. Mirzapur: The Movie is scheduled to release in cinemas on September 4, 2026.

UP T20 League: Lucknow Falcons have officially booked their place in the UP T20 League 2026 playoffs following a hard-fought 24-run victory over the Gaur Gorakhpur Lions in match 26. Played at Kanpurs historic Green Park Stadium, a venue that has hosted 40 international matches, the result marks Lucknow's fifth win in nine games, making them the second franchise after the Meerut Mavericks to advance to the knockout stages. It was a very important win for us to qualify. The first aim of the team has been achieved, stated a highly satisfied Lucknow skipper, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, following the victory. The path to qualification, however, looked incredibly unlikely early in the evening. Opting to bowl first, Lions skipper Shivam Sharma applied immense pressure, delivering a miserly spell of 2/12 in his three overs, including a maiden, to reduce Lucknow to a precarious 51/4 in 8.4 overs. Reflecting on the turbulent start, Bhuvneshwar admitted the team had to severely recalibrate their targets from the dugout. It was very satisfying because we didnt really get the start we wanted, the captain revealed. During the 10-over break, our honest aim was to reach around 100 runs by the 15th over and add another 40 to 50 runs in the final five. Sitting in the dressing room, we thought even 130 to 140 would be a fighting total. What followed was a sensational 109-run partnership off just 64 balls between Ajeet Verma and Kritagya Singh that completely shifted the momentum. Verma smashed an unbeaten 75 off 45 balls, decorated with eight boundaries and three sixes, while Singh delivered a crucial 44 off 31, powering the Falcons to a highly competitive 170/5 in 20 overs. The maturity shown by Ajeet and Kritagya was excellent, Bhuvneshwar noted. That partnership was something we had been lacking in the tournament so far. The way we batted, we did much better than what we had expected. That partnership is the reason we are in this winning position today. The skipper reserved special praise for Verma, whose consistent performances demanded a regular spot. He has made a massive impact. His batting has been so impressive that we had to bring him into the playing XI. It shows that when a youngster performs well, the entire team benefits. Defending 170, Gorakhpur's chase was immediately derailed by Lucknow's Abhinandan Singh, who cleaned up openers Abhay Pratap Singh and Aryan Chaudhary cheaply. The Lions stumbled to 70/5 in 10.3 overs after Akshu Bajwa claimed two wickets and Vipraj Nigam took one. Refusing to surrender, Prince Yadav (49 off 36) and Parth Palawat built a dangerous 56-run stand off 40 balls to revive the chase. With 45 runs needed off the final 18 deliveries, Bhuvneshwar tossed the ball back to Abhinandan for the crucial 18th over.
