‘Let it begin': Rohit Sharma working with Abhishek Nayar with Australia ODIs on the horizon
Just days after Virat Kohli posted a photo of himself after a training session, fellow India veteran Rohit Sharma has also posted a picture of himself with former assistant coach Abhishek Nayar in the gym. Nayar reposted that with the caption that said: 'Let it begin'. According to PTI, Rohit has begun training with Nayar at a suburban Mumbai facility after taking a break of a couple of months from cricket following the IPL. Rohit retired from T20Is after leading India to victory in the T20 World Cup last year and then from Tests during the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL). This has left ODIs as the only format in which he plays international cricket and India next play one only in October when they tour Australia. Kohli has also retired from T20Is and Tests and this has led to a lot of specuation around his and Rohit's future with the Indian ODI team. Nayar was sacked as India's assistant coach in April this year after India's dismal run of form in Tests. Rohit is known to work with him on occassion personally and Nayar remains a reputed batting coach. KL Rahul had worked with Nayar prior to the recently concluded five-match Test series in England, in which he ended up scoring 532 runs. Considered one of the greatest opening batters of all time, Rohit has scored 11,168 runs in 273 ODIs at an average of 48.76 with 32 centuries and 58 half-centuries. He is the only batter to have scored three double centuries in men's ODIs and his 264 remains the highest-ever score by any player in the format. Rohit had led a dominant India to the final of the 2023 World Cup. However, while they were hardly challenged by any team throughout the tournament, India were thoroughly outplayed by Australia in the final and lost by six wickets, a result that Rohit admitted in later months took a big toll on him mentally and emotionally.

Fast bowler Tymal Mills joins OnlyFans, barred from using logo on bat in The Hundred
Tymal Mills, the England and Sussex fast bowler renowned for his death-over skills, has become the first professional cricketer to open an account on OnlyFans — a platform often associated with adult content, but which he insists will be used exclusively for cricket and lifestyle a former Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians player, joins a growing list of athletes turning to OnlyFans to offer supporters a more personal insight into their lives, following figures such as tennis star Nick the fast bowler's request to display the OnlyFans logo on his bat during The Hundred — the ongoing 100-ball tournament in England — has been rejected. According to the BBC, Mills approached the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for permission, but the governing body declined, stating that the platform does not align with The Hundred's family-friendly image.I WILL PUT OUT CONTENT ABOUT CRICKET: MILLS Explaining his decision to join OnlyFans, Mills stressed there would be no explicit content from him. Instead, he intends to share insights into cricket and his lifestyle, as well as candid reflections on the 'bad things' in the sport, drawing on his extensive experience.'I know exactly what people might think, and what they are best known for. But I'll be putting out content about cricket, and maybe a little bit of lifestyle too,' he told The Telegraph.'The conversations first started about a year ago, so I read up, held discussions and did my due diligence. I hadn't quite realised how big the company was. They're trying to get into football and bring Premier League players on board. They're doing well with so-called smaller sports like surfing and skateboarding — individual sports.''I'm the first cricketer, and they're trying to break into team sports. It's ground zero in that regard, and I'm very excited. I want to be brave.'Mills said subscribers can expect behind-the-scenes access including candid chats, match analysis, training routines and even one-to-one mentoring sessions. He added that he is 'not looking to get rich' from the venture and aims to keep it has represented England in 16 T20 internationals since making his debut in 2016. The left-arm quick, known for his clever variations, was part of the England side that lifted the T20 World Cup in 2022, and last featured for the national team in playing for Southern Brave in The Hundred, Mills is the competition's leading wicket-taker, with 46 wickets in 32 matches. He began the 2025 season in style, taking three wickets against Manchester Originals on 6 August.- Ends

Madras HC orders trial in MS Dhoni's ₹100 crore defamation case
Former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is all set to record his statement following the Madras High Court ordered a trial in a ₹ 100 crore defamation case filed by him against two prominent media channels, an IPS officer and a journalist, who dragged his name in the 2013 IPL betting scandal, reported The Hindu. The report added that Justice CV Karthikeyan has appointed an advocate commissioner who will record the evidence on behalf of Dhoni. This decision is based on the fact that MS Dhoni is a celebrity, and his presence could lead to chaos. Earlier in 2014, Dhoni filed a case and sought damages of ₹ 100 crore from the defendants – two prominent media channels, an IPS officer and a journalist. Dhoni had alleged that defamatory remarks were made against him during a Television debate on the IPL betting scandal. Senior counsel PR Raman submitted an affidavit from Dhoni seeking the start of the trial, reported The Hindu, adding it is pending for a decade. 'The above request is made with the intent to avoid any undue delay (in disposal of the suit pending in the High Court for over a decade) and to support the fair, just, and speedy adjudication of the suit. I state that I shall extend my full co-operation with the Advocate Commissioner and comply with all directions issued by this honourable court regarding the trial and the recording of evidence," The Hindu quoted the affidavit as reading. The betting scandal of 2013 in the Indian Premier League is considered to be a major blot in the T20 league's history. In the scandal, three cricketers were found guilty of having indulged in spot fixing while two franchises – Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals – were suspended for two years.
