Punjab T20 League: Mayank Markande is relishing the opportunity to represent Amritsar Soormas in the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League, with the Punjab spinner believing the tournament can play a significant role in strengthening the states cricketing ecosystem. It is a privilege to be part of Amritsar Soormas and contribute directly to Punjabs premier T20 tournament. Having come through Punjabs domestic system, playing in a league that unites the finest talent across the state while representing a historic city like Amritsar is deeply satisfying, Markande said. Markande believes the league can provide a crucial platform for players from across Punjab, particularly those emerging from the district and age-group systems. Punjab has always produced match-winners, but a structured league format creates depth. It gives domestic performers, U-19 prospects, and district cricketers a regular spotlight, ensuring that talent from non-metro pockets gets scouted and fast-tracked into state and IPL teams, he said. The spinner also has high expectations from the Soormas, highlighting the squads balance and ability to adapt to different match situations. We have a well-rounded squad capable of adapting to different pitch conditions and match situations. If we execute our bowling plans during critical phases and stay proactive in our run-chases, we are well positioned to make a serious run for the trophy, Markande said. As one of the senior players in the squad, Markande also sees an important role for himself in helping the younger spinners navigate the demands of T20 cricket. On the field, my job is to control the middle overs, apply pressure through dot balls, and break partnerships. Off the field, I want to be approachablesharing insights on field placements, variations, and reading pitch behaviour with the younger spinners so they feel fully supported, he said. With the league also serving as an important preparation platform ahead of the domestic season, Markande believes the intensity of T20 cricket will help sharpen his game. Competitive T20 matches against top-quality batters offer the best possible match practice. It tests variations, bowling discipline, and game-awareness under pressure, he said.

Also Read: Special Cricket Stories For the Soormas, Markande believes the combination of dynamic leadership, explosive batting and bowling versatility can make them serious contenders. Abhishek Sharma brings immense destructive power at the top, our middle order is packed with clean ball-strikers, and we have enough bowling variations to apply pressure across powerplays, middle overs, and at the death. That tactical balance makes us a formidable unit, he said. Article Source: IANS

We Are Well Covered In All Departments: Bhatinda Royals Batting Coach Manish Bhatia
Punjab T20 League: Bhatinda Royals have assembled a balanced squad for the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League and will be aiming to make a strong impact in the tournament as batting coach expressed confidence in the team's combination saying the team is well covered in all departments. He also highlighted the importance of having experienced players such as India international Gurnoor Brar in the squad. In a winning team, a strong bowling attack is very important, and I feel we are well covered in that department. We have our captain and India player Gurnoor Brar, along with left-arm pacer Ashwini, who has been part of the Mumbai Indians setup. We also have several all-rounders who can contribute with both bat and ball, which gives us a very balanced bowling unit. Bhatia also believes the Royals have enough firepower in the batting department. We have some very talented batters who have represented Punjab at different age-group levels. Our vice-captain, Uday Saharan, is the backbone of this team. He is in excellent form, and his presence gives a lot of confidence to the entire squad. Overall, I think we have a very good combination. The batting coach was particularly optimistic about Saharan's prospects and believes the youngster is one of the players to watch in the tournament. Last year, we made Uday Saharan the captain of Punjab, and he continues to lead the side. He is already an experienced leader in red-ball cricket and has shown great maturity at a young age. If there is one player to watch out for in this tournament, it is Uday Saharan. I genuinely believe he has a bright future ahead of him. He can win matches for us and will continue to play an important role for Punjab cricket in the years to come. Bhatia also praised the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League for providing a platform to young cricketers and helping strengthen Punjab's cricketing structure. The Sher-e-Punjab T20 League can play a huge role in the growth of Punjab cricket. It gives young players an opportunity to showcase their talent and compete alongside experienced cricketers.

Hina Khan recently opened up about her first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan and recalled how nervous she was when she found herself seated next to the superstar on a flight. The actor shared the experience during a conversation with Rocky Jaiswal, Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla on their podcast POV. She also revealed that despite being exhausted, Shah Rukh made sure to keep his promise of clicking a picture with her. Hina said she was still relatively new to the entertainment industry when the meeting took place. At the time, her popular television show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai had been on air for around a year and a half. Recalling the moment, she said, The first time I met SRK, we were on the same flight. It had been a year and a half since my show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai had started. I was very new in the industry. I saw him sitting next to me. I took a deep breath and saw again that he was sleeping. I couldnt believe it. I was anxious to get a photo, but he wasnt waking up. Somehow, he woke up for coffee. Hina eventually gathered the courage to approach him and ask for a picture. Shah Rukh assured her that he would take one with her, but after having his coffee, he went back to sleep. Hina continued waiting, unsure whether she would get the opportunity. She recalled, I waved a hi to him and asked if I could get a picture. He said, Wait, Ill give you a photo. He had his coffee and went back to sleep. I kept waiting. Once we landed, I thought I missed the chance, but he got up, called me, and clicked a picture. We were also in the same coach later. He went to the last seat and slept. He was promoting some film at the time and hadnt slept for days. Abhinav Shukla also recently shared his first interaction with Shah Rukh. Recalling an event during his modelling days, he said, My first meeting with SRK was when I was fresh off the boat from Punjab and modelling in Mumbai. We were doing a ramp show for a watch brand, and we were backstage. We saw SRK enter; it was the first time I saw him. I decided to go and shake his hand. He was talking to his manager, then he looked at me, got up, and shook my hand. That defines the character of that man. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his next film King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The action thriller will also feature his daughter Suhana Khan, marking their first on-screen collaboration. The film is scheduled to release in theatres in 2026.

Kirandeep Singhs Journey: Spotted By Gill, Now Ready For Sher-e-Punjab League
Punjab T20 League: For 20-year-old Kirandeep Singh, the upcoming Sher-e-Punjab T20 League could be another important step in a journey that has already seen several turning points. After catching the eye of India captain Shubman Gill, the young cricketer now has an opportunity to share the dressing room with him. Fazilka Falcons bought Kirandeep for Rs 20,000 at the Sher-e-Punjab T20 auction, with Gill set to lead the side in the tournament. Gill had earlier spotted potential in the youngster while he was still playing tennis-ball cricket and offered him valuable advice, encouraging him to continue working hard and make the most of every opportunity. Kirandeep now has the perfect platform to put those words into action. When someone like Shubman Gill believes in you and gives you advice, it gives you a lot of confidence. His words have motivated me to work harder and keep improving. Now that I have the opportunity to play alongside him, I want to learn as much as possible and prove that his faith in me was justified, Kirandeep said. His journey to this point has been far from conventional. From playing cricket at a government school ground in Cholta Kalan, Kirandeep has now earned the opportunity to feature in a state-level T20 competition alongside some of Punjab's biggest cricketing names. Coming from Cholta Kalan and playing at the government school ground, I never imagined that I would get an opportunity like this so early in my career.
