Peter England Launches ‘League of Legends' with Cricket Icons
Peter England, the iconic menswear label from Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd., has launched a powerful new campaign titled 'The League of Legends', celebrating cricket's unmatched legacy with the help of Kapil Dev, Sir Vivian Richards, and Harsha Bhogle.
Timed with the IPL season, the campaign goes beyond the boundaries of sport to introduce 'The Gentlemen's League Collection', a cricket-inspired fashion line that fuses timeless style with legendary spirit.
The campaign features four cinematic films:
Two dramatized stories showcase Kapil Dev and Sir Vivian Richards mentoring young players, donning collection pieces that embody their legendary poise and strength.
Two heartfelt reaction films capture their emotional responses to tribute tees—the '83' and '79' shirts , celebrating their respective World Cup triumphs.
Harsha Bhogle's narration adds a rich, nostalgic layer to the storytelling.
Kapil Dev said, 'The '83 design brings back a flood of memories. Cricket teaches grace—this collection captures that perfectly.'
Sir Vivian Richards added, 'Cricket and confidence go hand in hand. That '79 tee? That's not a shirt—it's a legacy.'
Harsha Bhogle, now in his second season with the brand, shared, 'Cricket is storytelling. This campaign lets every fan feel that emotion.'
Anil S Kumar, CBO of Peter England, noted, 'Cricket is legacy. And this campaign is our tribute—to the legends and the style they inspire.'
The collection—featuring limited-edition polos and graphic tees—is now live across 240+ stores, IPL coverage, leading digital platforms, and on-ground brand activations.

Jasprit Bumrah Troubles India Batters During Training Session Ahead Of England Tests
India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is up and running in Beckenham, putting in the hard yards before the upcoming five high-stakes Tests against England, slated to kick off on June 20 at Headingley. A new era beckons for India in the Test format as the modern-day giants gear up for their first assignment without the prized batting bigwigs Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Shubman Gill, India's youngest Test captain, has taken the baton from Rohit to guide the nation to success and challenge for the World Test Championship mace. During India's training session in Beckenham, Kent's second home venue, Bumrah displayed his unparalleled mastery in the art of pace bowling. With the ball in his hand, Bumrah showed signs of breaking the notion of requiring assistance from the surface to wreak havoc. Deemed to be the world's current best, Bumrah extracted significant seam movement and constantly tested the outside edge of batters. He constrained the batters inside the crease with his searing yorker-length deliveries, according to ESPNcricinfo. The 31-year-old could be heard chatting with India bowling coach Morne Morkel about his two five-fors at Trent Bridge, according to ESPNcricinfo. He talked about how, on his first trip in 2018, the Duke's ball was doing things in swing and seam-friendly conditions. But on his later tours, it became less responsive. Bumrah's utilisation will remain limited throughout the five Tests in England. During the announcement of India's squad for the upcoming Test tour of England, chief selector Ajit Agarkar confirmed Bumrah was advised not to contest in consecutive Tests as part of his workload management. The precaution around Bumrah's usage stems from a stress reaction in the back during the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney in January. He missed India's victory campaign in the Champions Trophy and returned to action for the Mumbai Indians in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL). Last week, head coach Gautam Gambhir revealed that they have yet to take a call on which Tests India will field Bumrah in the playing XI. India's Test squad for England series: Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.

Meet Vijay Mallya's adopted daughter, a jewellery designer, also had links to IPL, her name is...
Meet Vijay Mallya's adopted daughter, a jewellery designer, also had links to IPL, her name is… Fugitive billionaire Vijay Mallya, who is accused of defaulting on loans from several Indian banks, still makes headlines in India. Not only because of the developments in the cases but also for his luxurious lifestyle. But younger generations don't know much about him or his personal life. Very few people know that Mallya adopted a girl and raised her like his daughter. We are talking about Laila Mallya. Unlike her father, she stays away from the public eye and lives a peaceful life. Laila is a very important chapter of Vijay Mallya's personal life. Let's talk about her. Who is Laila Mallya? Vijay Mallya adopted Laila after marrying Rekha Mallya in the 1990s. She grew up in luxury but after getting mature, she chose a very different life, completely different from her father's lifestyle. After Vijay got separated from his first wife, Sameera Tayabji, he met his childhood crush, Rekha in 1993. This was the time when Rakha was about to get separated from her husband Shahid Mahmood. Laila Mahmood was the daughter of Rekha. Mallya not only married Rekha in 1993 but also adopted Laila as his daughter. Since that time the little Laila became a part of Mallya's family. Laila studied at Mallya Aditi International School in Bengaluru. After completing her preliminary studies, she moved to Waltham to complete a degree in international business from Bentley University. She further studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Laila Mallya's Profession In 2009, she worked with IPL founder Lalit Modi as an executive assistant. However, Laila left the job and returned to her creative interest, launching her jewellery brand – Social Butterfly. Her jewellery brand is famous for fusing traditional Indian designs with modern aesthetics. Laila's jewellery designs gained popularity in Bengaluru's fashion scene being sold at Kahawa boutique. Her innovative approach to accessories led to a Vogue India feature in 2015. Despite maintaining a low profile, she cultivated a dedicated clientele and continues her jewellery design work as of 2025. Laila Mallya's siblings Laila, adopted by Vijay Mallya after her mother's marriage, considers herself a member of the Mallya family. She has two younger half-sisters, Leanna and Tanya, and an older biological brother, Kabir. Laila Mallya's Personal Life Laila Mallya married Samar Singh in 2011 in a private ceremony, which was held in Bali. Samar is an investment banker. Like his wife, he also chose to live a quiet life, away from media attention and controversies. Vijay Mallya Made Headlines Recently Vijay Mallya recently gave his first extensive interview in years, appearing on Raj Shamani's YouTube podcast. He apologised to former Kingfisher Airlines employees for the airline's failure, while denying accusations of theft, characterising himself as a fugitive but not a criminal. He expressed a willingness to return to India only if guaranteed a fair and respectful trial. Mallya also discussed the marketing impact of the Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar, highlighting its role in launching the careers of Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif. The interview was described as his most open and honest conversation to date.
