T20 Mumbai League To Kick Off With Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube In Action On Day 1
The wait is finally over as the highly anticipated T20 Mumbai League 2025 is ready to thrill cricket fans across the country with Season 3 set to begin on Wednesday at the DY Patil Stadium and Wankhede Stadium. Eight dynamic teams will compete in the league, with 23 exciting matches lined up over nine days from June 4 to 12, promising top-quality cricket and unforgettable moments. Launched in 2018 with the goal of identifying and nurturing a diverse pool of cricketing talent, the T20 Mumbai League, one of India's leading franchise-based domestic T20 tournaments, has been a stepping stone for several rising stars, including Shivam Dube, Tushar Deshpande and Shams Mulani, who have gone on to shine on bigger stages.
Making a grand return after six years, the league promises high-octane action with a mix of international stars like Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube and Prithvi Shaw, alongside Mumbai's brightest young talents such as Musheer Khan, Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Atharva Ankolekar.
Mumbai Cricket Association President Ajinkya Naik said, "The T20 Mumbai League has been a launchpad for many youngsters from Mumbai, igniting countless dreams and hopes. Even as it is only two editions old and currently on the third, our vision has been to bring transformative shifts in the way we see a local league fuelling aspirations for a global stage. The Mumbai stars who are now part of the national team bears testimony to this vision."
The league will kick off with an exciting clash between ARCS Andheri, with icon player Shivam Dube, and SoBo Mumbai Falcons at the DY Patil Stadium at 10.30 AM. The venue will also host another fixture on the same day, as Triumph Knights Mumbai North East, led by Suryakumar Yadav, take on the Eagle Thane Strikers at 5.30 PM.
India star and captain of Triumph Knights Mumbai North East, Suryakumar Yadav shared his excitement ahead of the start, "T20 Mumbai League holds a special place for me and I think it is a tremendous opportunity, under the aegis of the MCA for the youngsters. Since debuting in the inaugural 2018 edition, I've seen the impact the league can bring across formats - be it India A, Ranji, IPL or the other leagues. With a renewed zeal for the Season 3, we're going to see some high-octane action and the discovery of some new talent."
Meanwhile, at the Wankhede Stadium, fans can look forward to exciting matches on the opening day featuring Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburbs going up against Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals at 2.30 PM, followed by a much-anticipated face-off between Bandra Blasters and North Mumbai Panthers, having Prithvi Shaw as their icon player, at 7.30 PM.

Reviews of ‘Thug Life' and ‘Housefull 5'
Around Tinsel Town >> HC hears case on Kamal Haasan's remark on Kannada; veteran actor postpones 'Thug Life' release in Karnataka After a major controversy erupted last week surrounding veteran actor Kamal Haasan's remarks on Kannada at the audio launch of his latest film 'Thug Life,' the actor's banner Raaj Kamal Films International approached the Karnataka High Court for the release of 'Thug Life' without disruption in Karnataka. The petition further added that the banner is not willing to screen the movie in the state unless an encouraging dialogue takes place with the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce. Following the same, the HC suggested that Kamal apologise for his remark and end the controversy; however, the veteran stood his ground and refused to apologise, opting not to release the film in Karnataka on June 5. The 'Vikram' star asserted he has always stood for the equal dignity of all Indian languages and remains opposed to the dominance of any one language over another. According to trade analysts, the actor is set to face a loss of ₹35 crore to ₹40 crore in gross box office revenue and a loss of ₹12 crore to ₹15 crore in producer share due to the postponement of the film's release in the state. >> Kerala Police drops Hema Committee report cases; Parvathy Thiruvothu slams CM over inaction The Kerala Police, earlier this week, decided to drop the cases that emerged from the Hema Committee's findings on sexual exploitation and the misogyny within the Malayalam film industry. According to official sources, despite repeated summons by both the SIT and the court, the survivors declined to provide statements in connection with the cases. This came just a day after actor Parvathy Thiruvothu publicly criticised the Kerala government's handling of the Hema Committee report, mocking the administration's delay in implementing reforms promised more than five years ago.

Vijay Mallya reveals untold story of buying IPL team; Lalit Modi's impressive pitch: 'Lost Mumbai by very small amount'
Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru owner Vijay Mallya opened up about what inspired him to purchase an IPL franchise back in 2008, at a time when T20 cricket was only beginning to gain traction among fans. The decision to introduce a large-scale franchise league model seemed like a bold and risky venture for the BCCI in 2007. Yet, Lalit Modi, the board's vice-president and the league's inaugural chairman, possessed a vision and committed determination to transform it into something extraordinary. Mallya was one of the few high-profile names of the country who got associated with the league from the inaugural edition itself. He bought the Bengaluru-based franchise for USD 111.6 million back in 2008 and named it Royal Challengers Bangalore. The liquor baron, who is accused of defaulting on loans worth several crores from Indian banks, shared how Lalit Modi made an impressive pitch to him for buying an IPL team. Mallya also disclosed that he had placed a bid for the Mumbai franchise but narrowly missed out, with Reliance Industries, led by Mukesh Ambani, ultimately securing the team for USD 111.9 million. "I was very impressed with the pitch that Lalit Modi made to the BCCI committee about this league. He called me one day and said ok, teams are going to be auctioned. Are you going to buy it? So, I bid from three franchises, and I lost Mumbai by a very small amount of money," Mallya said on a podcast with Raj Shamani. Mallya claimed that he saw the cash-rich league as a game-changer for Indian cricket, which is why he decided to make a lucrative bid to get a team. "When I bid for the RCB franchise in 2008, I saw the IPL as a game-changer for Indian cricket. My vision was to create a team that embodied the spirit of Bangalore—vibrant, dynamic, glamorous," he added. Mallya said that his vision was to give the franchise a bold identity by associating it with one of their top-selling liquor brands, and named it Royal Challengers Bangalore. "I paid $112 million, the second-highest bid, because I believed in the potential. I wanted RCB to be a brand that stood for excellence, not just on the field but off it too. That's why I tied it to Royal Challenge, one of our top-selling liquor brands, to give it that bold identity," he added.

New galleries power a shift in India's art scene
There's a quiet yet determined shift in the Indian art market landscape. Newer art galleries are whetting the appetite of collectors, both seasoned and novice, as interest continues to evolve. Many of these galleries showcase the personal collections of longtime art collectors. For some, the galleries represent a chance to give their artworks a home. For others, it's a way to tap into a growing fraternity that's interested in acquiring art. HOMES FOR ART COLLECTIONS In Ashish Thapar's art gallery, which opened earlier this year in the National Capital Region (close to KNMA's mammoth art space slated to open sometime next year), the idea was to give centrestage to lesser-known but significant modernists of India, and more obscure works from leading modernists. In Thapar's view, it's not enough to only talk about M.F. Husain's horses, F.N. Souza's nudes, or S.H. Raza's bindu series. 'We should talk about Husain's Blue period and Raza's White period when the artists were evolving in their own right," says the graphic designer, curator and art collector. Thapar Art Gallery's inaugural exhibition in February, Celebrating the Modernists of Indian Art, was a showcase some of the lesser-known works of the progressives along with other artists such as Sakti Burman, Ramkinkar Baij, Himmat Shah, G.R. Santosh, Bimal Das Gupta, Sadanand Bakre, Haku Shah, Abdul Aziz Raiba, B. Prabha, B. Vithal, Laxma Goud, Sankho Chaudhuri and Abdulrahim Appabhai Almelkar. While a majority of the paintings on display are owned by Thapar, many of them are on sale. He's already working on the estates of two lesser-known Indian modernists, besides gearing up for forthcoming shows in his gallery. In Mumbai's Fort area, Subcontinent is a new gallery space started in March by husband-wife duo Dhwani Gudka and Keshav Mahendru. 'Our vacations are all about visiting museums and looking at works of art," says Gudka, adding that the reason behind opening their own gallery space was to foster dialogue with South Asian art. The inaugural show last month, curated by Jesal Thacker, Ya Ghat Bheetar/Rediscovering Form, was a retrospective of Vadodara-based Haku Shah, who gave indigenous folk art a twist through his distinctive style of painting. Gudka and Mahendru are managing the artist's estate, which is why many of Shah's previously unseen works were displayed in the gallery. Self-confessed 'art nerds", Gudka and Mahendru talk about paintings over meals, on their way to work, during their free time. 'For us," he adds, 'art is all-consuming. We wake up looking at art, we go to bed looking at art, we spend the whole day engaging with it in one way or another… some of our closest friends are artists." A NEW APPROACH A majority of new art gallery owners say it's the growing number of collectors that's fuelling the interest for spaces. 'A young collector who is just starting out can be looking for something entirely different than a more seasoned one," says Monica Jain, founder-director of Art Centrix Space, which was established in 2012 to focus on 'vernacular voices of mid-career contemporary Indian artists". While the newer galleries have a variety of exhibitions on artists, some older art galleries like Jain's are moving into providing grants for artists to promote 'diverse painting methodologies in Indian art". Galleries are also going beyond just exhibitions. Art Centrix Space, for instance, recently held the screening of The Song for Eresha, an indie film by A.K. Srikanth set to release abroad later this year before releasing in India. Similarly, in Thapar's gallery, a music concert by bansuri player Kartikeya Vashist and Arman Dehlvi on tabla and vocals was held to coincide with the opening of the Haku Shah exhibition. Jain is correct in her assessment that there's room for everyone, not just as a collector but also as a gallerist. In Delhi's Defence Colony area, an art district of sorts is emerging with new galleries cropping up alongside some of the recognised ones such as Vadehra Art Gallery, Akar Prakar and Treasure Art Gallery, among others. Galleryske and Photoink, both with a presence in Delhi, collaborated to open earlier this year in Defence Colony. Five-year-old Method Art Gallery from Mumbai also expanded to Delhi earlier this year, enthused by the demand of collectors in the city. In Kolkata, Art Exposure, around since 2018, ventured into a bigger space last October. According to Somak Mitra, founder-director of Art Exposure: 'We wanted to build a world-class gallery to attract South Asian and international artists to put Kolkata on the global art map." The new space is a sprawling 7,000 sq. ft, two-floor building dedicated to contemporary and modern art. It is currently hosting the exhibition Indian Modern Art: Evolution of Narratives, featuring artists such Gaganendranath Tagore, Rabindranath Tagore, Nandalal Bose and Jamini Roy. The exhibition is on till 15 June. Existing galleries such as Method, Galleryske and Photo Ink are in expansion mode. Rukshaan Art, promoted by Rukshaan Krishna, has been one of the foremost galleries to promote contemporary art since its opening in Vadodara in 2007. Krishna opened her new gallery space in Mumbai's Ballard Estate in March. The gallery has been at the forefront of The Baroda March, an annual exhibition showcasing contemporary art from Vadodara city, which has been going on for 18 years. Besides hosting this annual exhibition, showcasing Vadodara's vibrant art scene, Rukshaan Art continues to hold art camps, residencies and other artist-led events. Though not a traditional art gallery, on Museum Day (18 May), Jaipur's Sabha Niwas, originally Diwan-e-Aam or public audience hall in The City Palace, reopened after more than a year of restoration work. It will double up as a museum-gallery for rare artefacts, including 19th century elephant seats, canopies used for royal events, thrones, and portraits by the 18th century master painter Sahibram. 'It's a niche and saturated market, and you have to be very distinctive to offer something new," says Sanya Malik, curator and director, Black Cube Gallery, which opened in February in Hauz Khas, Delhi. Black Cube was a 'nomadic" gallery, without a space of its own. Its inaugural show in March in the new permanent space was Vocabulary of Vision, which brought together 25 Indian artists—nine modern masters and 16 contemporary voices—to explore the evolving visual language of Indian art. Most collectors at Black Cube Gallery are first-timers. It's a reason why Malik, unlike many other art galleries, has kept a wide-ranging price point, starting around ₹3 lakh. She advises collectors that they can always start looking at prints of master artists or start investing in some of the younger, contemporary artists, the latter being a very fascinating market. Malik is happy that her art has finally found its home. 'Personally, I have this itch to bring out a strong curatorial context to present my art to people. Having a personal space allows so much more freedom." Abhilasha Ojha is a Delhi-based writer. Also read: Father's Day 2025: Gifts for the dad who has everything
