RCB scripts historic win in IPL: 5 books read, loved, and recommended by Virat Kohli

AHMEDABAD, INDIA - JUNE 03: Virat Kohli of Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifts the IPL trophy following the trophy presentation in the 2025 IPL Final match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings at Narendra Modi Stadium on June 03, 2025, in Ahmedabad, India. (Photo by) Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) scripted history on June 3, 2025, as the team lifted the IPL trophy, after 18 long years of waiting. And every RCB fan was in tears as they saw Virat Kohli, their beloved and favourite player, breakdown after the win. This long-awaited victory wasn't just about cricket, but also about personal evolution, discipline, and mental strength. Behind the aggressive on-field persona, Kohli has shown his self-growth and introspection lately, and over the years, he has often shared his reading choices with the public, offering a peek into the books that have shaped his mindset both on and off the field. And among the many different books he has read, as mentioned in online reports, interviews, pictures online, and more, here we mention 5 that have shaped him, and can do the same for you. 'Autobiography of a Yogi' by Paramahansa Yogananda One of the most famous books read, loved, and recommended by Virat Kohli is this one. 'The Autobiography of a Yogi' is a spiritual classic and is not just a story, but a journey into spirituality. Kohli has often credited this book for helping him understand the deeper aspects of life, things that are above fame, success, and the material world, and it talks about the life of a Yogi, Paramhansa Yogananda, and his journey of looking for the truths of life. 'Open' by André Agassi Another book read by Kohli is 'Open', often described as Agassi's brutally honest memoir. It is said that this book is like a first-hand reading of the struggles athletes have to face, away from the glitz and glamour of their life that people see, and talks about Agassi's love-hate relationship with tennis, his fears, and the constant pressure to perform. 'Detox Your Ego' by Steven Sylvester Another exceptional book. Kohli was seen reading this while he sat in a stadium during a match. 'Detox Your Ego' is not about getting rid of confidence, but just stripping away the kind of ego and pride that blocks your growth in the long run. The book also asks people to notice and identify the difference between ego-driven actions and value-based choices. 'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne One of the first pictures that Kohli shared of his reading was of 'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne. The book is based on the law of attraction, and urges people to understand the power of positive thinking and visualisation, and focus their energies into the positive side of life because what you think and feel is eventually what you attract in life. 'RAFA: My Story' by Rafael Nadal and John Carlin Another athlete's memoir that left a mark on Kohli is 'RAFA: My Story', which is Rafael Nadal, one of the most celebrated tennis players' books. The book talks about Nadal's childhood, his highs and lows, the injuries he endured, the comebacks he did, and of course, some of his most iconic wins. It really showed Nadal's mindset of respecting the process more than the outcome, and his journey to one of the greatest tennis players ever.

'D Gukesh saw some ghosts': Hikaru Nakamura takes dig at world champion after beating him at Norway Chess 2025

Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh's winning run was ended by Hikaru Nakamura who pounced on a blunder by the world champion to win a match that looked like was heading towards a draw. read more Hikaru Nakamura defeated D Gukesh from a position where it looked like the match was heading towards a draw. Image: Norway Chess Chess world champion D Gukesh's winning streak was brought to a halt on Tuesday as he went down to world No.2 Hikaru Nakamura in round eight, while Fabiano Caruana lost to Arjun Erigaisi, but continues to lead the standings at Norway Chess 2025. Meanwhile, world No.1 Magnus Carlsen suffered his second consecutive Armageddon defeat to China's Wei Yi. Nakamura did not hold back while analysing his win over Gukesh, who had defeated Carlsen and Arjun over the last two days , as the American Grandmaster said that he triumphed despite playing some 'boring' chess as the 19-year-old Indian chess star went chasing around 'ghosts'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I played something that was very boring, but luckily Gukesh wasn't ready for it, and he sort of saw some ghosts and went for this whole position with bishop g6 move which I don't know if it's losing but for a human, very very tough to play, so it was a very smooth game, very happy,' Nakamura told T_ake Take Take_ after beating Gukesh. How Nakamura defeated Gukesh After a slow start to the game, things changed drastically on move 18, when Gukesh chose a different path than Fabiano Caruana had during the 2024 Candidates, skipping the more expected 18…Bg6. After a long pause — close to 30 minutes — Gukesh opted for 18…Rab8. Then came and with 19…Bg6 forced, followed. But Gukesh's recapture with the wrong pawn gave Nakamura the edge he needed. From there, the American grandmaster put on a clinical display of how to wield opposite-coloured bishops in attacking positions with major pieces still on the board. With the light squares now under his command — and Gukesh's bishop unable to contest them — Nakamura built up pressure as the Indian lost in 50 moves. 'I'm not sure what happened, whether Gukesh just didn't know this bishop g6 move, or what exactly it was, but it was very clear to me that, based on the long think, he didn't like the pawn structure at all,' said Nakamura. Nakamura also dropped a shocker when he said that the 'chances' of Carlsen and him playing at Norway Chess in Classical format next year are 'very very low.' Meanwhile, despite his defeat to Wei Yi, Carlsen is second in the Open standings with 12 points, half a point behind the leader Caruana. Nakamura and Gukesh are joint third with 11.5 pints each, while Arjun is fourth (10.5). STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In the women's section, Koneru Humpy has regained the lead with two rounds to go after beating Sara Khadem. Reigning world champion China's Ju Wenjun lost to India's R Vaishali. Results (Round 8): (Open) Arjun Erigaisi (Ind – 10.5 points) bt Fabiano Caruana (USA – 12.5); Hikaru Nakamura (USA – 11.5) bt D Gukesh (Ind – 11.5); Wei Yi (Chn – 8) bt Magnus Carlsen (Nor – 12) in Armageddon tie-break. (Women) Sara Khadem (Esp – 6) lost to Koneru Humpy (Ind – 13.5); R. Vaishali (Ind – 9.5) bt Ju Wenjun (Chn – 12.5) in Armageddon tie-break; Anna Muzychuk (Ukr – 12.5) bt Lei Tingjie (Chn – 10) in Armageddon tie-break.

Sinner sprints into Roland Garros last 8

Paris: Top seed Jannik Sinner cruised into his 11th career Grand Slam quarterfinal and third in Roland Garros with a 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 rout of No.17 seed Andrey Rublev. This was Sinner's 18th consecutive match win at a Grand Slam tournament. Sinner has dropped just 30 games in 12 sets in Paris so far — and by extending his winning streak at Grand Slam events to 18, the world No.1 has tied Andre Agassi, Boris Becker and Mats Wilander for the ninth-longest unbeaten run in the Open era. Four more wins would secure him not only a first Roland-Garros title in the process, but sole possession of seventh place on that illustrious list. Sinner's win also gives him sole possession of the most major victories for an Italian man in the Open era. 'I'm very, very happy. We both know each other very well… we've played each other so many times, so we try to change up a little bit our game style, and I'm very happy. Things can go very quickly in a bad way in best-of-five; they can go so long, so I'm very happy and proud to finish in three,' Sinner said. Bidding for his own third Roland-Garros quarterfinal, and first since 2022, Rublev kept a first-strike mentality throughout the match — but was summarily dismissed by Sinner's own strikes as the Italian wrapped up the first set in a half hour.
