Kuldeep Yadav on talking tactics with Ruben Amorim: Asked if he sticks with 3-4-3
Kuldeep Yadav made the most of a special opportunity when the Indian cricket team met with Manchester United ahead of the fourth Test at Old Trafford. In a video shared by the BCCI, the left-arm wrist-spinner expressed his excitement over interacting with Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, someone he has followed closely in the footballing world.A self-confessed football enthusiast, Kuldeep spoke about his conversation with Amorim, who took over managerial duties at United last season following the sacking of Erik ten Hag. Amorim made the move from Sporting Lisbon, where he had built an impressive reputation, but his tenure at United so far has been challenging. The club finished 15th in the Premier League and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham was looking forward to talking to Ruben. I have been following him since Sporting (Lisbon). I asked him a few questions, tactics-wise, whether he is going to stick with the 3-4-3 this season," Kuldeep said in the video. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Team India (@indiancricketteam) He also spoke about interacting with Brazilian midfielder Casemiro, who has been a key figure at United since his high-profile transfer from Real Madrid. Casemiro, known for his consistency and leadership, won multiple Champions League and La Liga titles during his time in Spain."I also had a chance to chat with Casemiro and how I admire him as a player, and yeah, it was very nice," Kuldeep enjoying his time with Manchester United players and staff, Kuldeep may also be preparing for a more prominent role in the fourth Test. With the Indian squad dealing with a number of injuries—Nitish Kumar Reddy and Arshdeep Singh both ruled out—Kuldeep could be called up to bolster the bowling only addition to the squad so far has been pacer Anshul Kamboj, but it is unclear whether the team management will hand him a debut in such a high-pressure situation. Given Kuldeep's experience and ability to turn matches with his wrist spin, he could be a vital option for India as they prepare for the crucial fourth Test at Old Trafford.- EndsMust Watch

Ignored India Star Loses 17 kgs, Stunning Transformation Stumps Internet
One of the finest domestic performers for India in red-ball cricket, Sarfaraz Khan has undergone a stunning transformation by shedding 17kgs of body weight. Sarfaraz, who isn't a part of the Indian squad for the Test series in England, despite being a consistent performer, had critics questioning his fitness for a long time. Though Sarfaraz broke into the Indian team last year, making his Test debut against England in February, he hasn't quite managed to cement his place in the team yet. While runs have been coming from Sarfaraz's bat in the domestic spectrum, the right-handed batter has further proven his resolve by working hard on his fitness too. As Sarfaraz shared the picture of his transformation, fans went ga-ga over the batter's determination. Sharing a picture from his gym, Sarfaraz said he lost 17 kgs of weight. Dedication. Discipline. Determination. Sarfaraz Khan has shed 17 kgs in just 2 months — a true testament to hard work and focus. #ENGvIND — Pitch22 (@OfficialPitch22) July 21, 2025 When Sarfaraz was overlooked by the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee for the England tour, many former India cricketers, including Harbhajan Sing,h had backed him to bounce back harder. 'It's very unfortunate... I was a bit shocked not seeing his name in the squad. I'm sure he will come back strong. He has got that will to make a comeback…All I can say is, don't be disheartened, you will get your due, if not today, then tomorrow…Look at Karun Nair," Harbhajan had said. "He scored 300 runs against England and then never got too many opportunities. Now he is back in England with the team," Harbhajan added. Snubbed by the BCCI selection committee, Sarfaraz Khan also lost the team management's backing after a failed Australia tour. But, by working hard in the gym, the talented batter has sent a loud and clear message to all the stakeholders.

Chess: India Set To Host FIDE World Cup 2025
India is set to host the FIDE World Cup 2025, scheduled for October 30 to November 27. The tournament will feature the world's best players battling for the coveted title and qualification spots in the 2026 FIDE Candidates Tournament, according to the FIDE World Cup website. The FIDE World Cup 2025 will feature 206 players competing in a knockout format--a dynamic and unpredictable system where the losing player in each round is eliminated. The top three finishers of the 2025 World Cup will earn direct qualification for the 2026 Candidates Tournament, which determines the challenger for the World Chess Championship. India has become a dominant force in the chess world, thanks in part to five-time World Champion and FIDE Deputy President Viswanathan Anand, whose efforts and legacy have been instrumental in popularising chess in the country. India's young stars include Gukesh Dommaraju, who became the youngest FIDE World Chess Champion at 18, Praggnanandhaa R, the runner-up of the 2023 World Cup, and Arjun Erigaisi, currently ranked world number five. In 2024, both the Indian Open and Women's teams claimed their first-ever gold medals at the Chess Olympiad--a historic achievement further highlighted by four individual gold medals won by Gukesh, Erigaisi, Deshmukh, and Agrawal. Koneru Humpy secured gold at the 2024 FIDE Women's Rapid Championship, and Vaishali Rameshbabu earned bronze at the 2024 FIDE Women's Blitz Championship. India has also recently hosted major events, including the FIDE Chess Olympiad 2022, Tata Steel Chess India, the FIDE World Junior U20 Championships 2024, and the 5th leg of the FIDE Women's Grand Prix (April 2025). Recently, Indian GM Humpy created history by becoming the first-ever Indian woman to reach the semifinals of the FIDE Women's Chess World Cup. A solid draw in the second game of her quarterfinal clash against China's IM Song Yuxin was enough to seal the deal.
