Eden Gardens to now host 1st Test against South Africa in November. Check India's updated home season
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made some venue changes for the upcoming home season on Monday. The Eden Gardens in Kolkata, which was earlier slated to host the second Test between India and West Indies in October 2025, will now host the first Test between India and South Africa in November.
The second Test between India and West Indies will now be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
'The 2nd Test against West Indies, originally slated for Kolkata, will now be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Meanwhile, the 1st Test against South Africa, starting November 14, 2025, has been shifted from New Delhi to Eden Gardens in Kolkata,' the BCCI said in an official release.
The outfield and the pitches are also being revamped at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Hence the upcoming ODI series between India and Australia Women has been moved out of Chennai.
The first two ODIs will now take place at the New PCA stadium in New Chandigarh, while the third and final ODI will be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
The three one-day games between India A and South Africa A have also been moved from M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru to the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. The BCCI has not provided a specific reason for this.

"It's a little bush league": Clayton Kershaw unhappy with timing of old highlight played during pregame
Image Source: Getty Clayton Kershaw, the Los Angeles Dodgers' star pitcher, wasn't happy with the St. Louis Cardinals' pregame entertainment. Before Sunday's game, the Cardinals showed a video of Matt Adams hitting a home run off Kershaw in 2014. Kershaw called it 'bush league' but pitched great, leading the Dodgers to a 7-3 win. Kershaw calls out Cardinals' pregame video stunt On June 8, 2025, the St. Louis Cardinals show a video before the game against the Dodgers at Busch Stadium. Video is the 2014 playoff moment when Matt Adams hit a 3 run homer off Kershaw and the Cardinals eliminated the Dodgers. Kershaw, 37, didn't like that old clip. 'I think it's a little bush league, but I'm not surprised by these guys,' he told reporters after the game, according to — FSRedbirdRants (@FSRedbirdRants) E by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo ven though the video got under his skin, Kershaw was calm and pitched well. He went 5 innings, gave up 1 run and struck out 7 to get his first win of 2025. The Dodgers scored 7 runs, including a big triple from Hyeseong Kim, to avoid getting swept. Their record improved to 39-27. Kershaw's great pitching showed he could handle the Cardinals' attempt to rattle him. The video might have motivated him to perform even better.

All about their relationship timeline Dodgers' pitching depth tested as injuries mount T he Dodgers are counting on Kershaw because many of their pitchers are injured in 2025. Important starters like Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, and Roki Sasaki are out with shoulder problems. Kershaw had a challenging first game this season after knee and toe surgeries, allowing five runs in four innings. But his game against the Cardinals showed he's getting stronger, with better control over his pitches. The Dodgers have had 20 players on the injured list this year, 17 of them pitchers, so Kershaw's role is huge. He was a big player on Sunday and Dave Roberts called him a 'stopper' and a future Hall of Famer. He'll be important as they head into the Padres game. With 36 wins in 65 games the Cardinals are another tough team that will make later games even more exciting. Kershaw's ability to turn an annoying moment into a great game shows why he's a team leader.

Not Shubman Gill or Hardik Pandya: This star player in race to grab ODI captaincy from Rohit Sharma, his name is...
Captain Rohit Sharma, who led the Indian cricket team to victory in the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy, has retired from Test cricket. Now he will be seen playing only ODI format for India. Till now Rohit Sharma is the captain for India in white ball format (ODI only). But will Rohit be kept as the captain in ODIs? Will the Hitman be retained in the ODI team? Questions are also arising in people's minds about this. Actually, according to some media reports, Rohit wanted to play more Test cricket. He had also talked about retiring in the middle while playing as captain on the England tour, but the selectors had asked him to play the entire series as a player. After this, Rohit Sharma suddenly retired. Rohit has openly expressed his love for red ball cricket many times. Even his father likes Test cricket and he also seemed disappointed with Rohit's retirement. Rohit said this during an interview. In such a situation, can the BCCI and selectors show Rohit Sharma the way out of the ODI team as well, this remains a big question in itself. Rohit Sharma wants to play the 2027 ODI World Cup. At present, Rohit is more than 38 years old and there is still more than 2 years left for the World Cup 2027. By then Rohit will be more than 40 years old. In such a situation, will the BCCI and selectors want to bet on him. This is the biggest question. It is also possible that like Tests, the selectors may drop Rohit Sharma from ODIs as well and think about making a future team that can play in the ODI World Cup 2027. India has got a new captain in the form of Shubman Gill after Rohit in Tests. At the same time, Suryakumar Yadav has been made the T20 captain of India as Rohit's successor after his retirement from T20. Now only the ODI format is left, so if Rohit is removed as captain, then the BCCI and the selectors will be forced to look for his replacement. According to some media reports, Shreyas Iyer, who impressed everyone with his captaincy in the Indian Premier League (IPL), is considered a contender for the white ball captaincy of the Indian cricket team. If the BCCI and the selectors remove Rohit Sharma as the captain of the ODI cricket team, then Shreyas Iyer's name can be considered as the captain. Iyer scored 530 runs in 11 matches with 2 centuries and 3 half-centuries while batting in the middle order for India in the ODI World Cup 2023. He also has experience of playing the ODI World Cup. Under his captaincy, Iyer made KKR the winner in IPL 2024 while he played the final in IPL 2025 where he lost by 6 runs.

Golf-Scheffler, McIlroy look to tame Oakmont, DeChambeau seeks repeat U.S. Open win
OAKMONT, Pennsylvania - Scottie Scheffler, who has cemented himself as the preeminent force in golf, enters this week's U.S. Open seeking the third leg of a career Grand Slam while Rory McIlroy hopes to reclaim his major magic and Bryson DeChambeau eyes a repeat title. World number one Scheffler has three wins in his last four starts, including last month's PGA Championship, and is clear favorite at Oakmont Country Club where his driving proficiency, elite short game and patient approach could be the difference. Oakmont, arguably the toughest course in the United States, is a quintessential U.S. Open venue given its penalizing rough, narrow fairways and nerve-testing greens that many expect will ultimately result in a winning score above par. The physical and mental grind expected this week could open the door for three-times major champion Scheffler, who tends to be in contention wherever he tees it up given his unflappable temperament and exacting style that can wear down a field. "He's got no weaknesses in his game. You just feel like when you're behind Scottie, you have to press because you know he's not going to make any mistakes," NBC Sports/Golf Channel analyst Smylie Kaufman said on a U.S. Open media conference call. Northern Ireland's McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam of golf's four majors at the Masters in April but at the PGA Championship he finished well out of contention while using a back-up driver after his preferred one failed a conformity test. Now the world number two, fresh off a missed cut at the Canadian Open, will get another crack at an event where he has endured his fair share of heartbreak in recent years. At the 2024 U.S. Open, where the Northern Irishman was seeking his first major triumph in a decade, McIlroy bogeyed three of his final four holes and finished runner-up for a second consecutive year. BIG-HITTING DECHAMBEAU DeChambeau, looking to become the event's first repeat winner since Brooks Koepka in 2018, has become a regular force at golf's biggest events and with five top-six finishes across the last six majors he should be in the mix this week. The big-hitting DeChambeau, who this year briefly held the final-round lead at the Masters and finished runner-up at the PGA Championship, has become one of the game's biggest draws due partly to his eponymous YouTube channel. His willingness to embrace fans when he is in contention for the game's biggest prizes could him to a third major title as he defends his crown, having also won the U.S. Open in 2020. "He's learned that whipping up the crowd, becoming connected with the crowd only helps him not only helps him get cheered for, but I think it helps him with his own confidence level," said NBC Sports play-by-play commentator Dan Hicks. "He's become a lot more dangerous of a guy, especially at the biggest ones they play, the majors. And that's proven to be true." Among some of the other notables in the 156-player field at Oakmont are Spaniard Jon Rahm, British Open champion Xander Schauffele and Swede Ludvig Aberg. A stern test awaits at Oakmont which is hosting a U.S. Open for a record 10th time and first since 2016. Accuracy off the tee will be paramount given the penal rough lining Oakmont's narrow fairways that lead to greens that could be the fastest players compete on all year. "It's going to be an absolute physical, mental grind," said Kaufman. "I think you'll see the toughest players on Sunday that are in contention, it will be the guys that have been able to keep their wits about them, not have those blow-up holes completely derail their championship. "It sounds like it's going to be crazy, crazy hard."
