Harmanpreet Kaur Creates History, Breaks Mithali Raj's Record Of Most...
Harman has played six Tests, 146 ODIs, and 182 T20Is so far. The Punjab-based cricketer is the most capped player in the history of women's T20Is.
Under her leadership, for the first time ever, India managed to win a T20I series in England this month. In the five-match T20I series played between India and England, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side managed to get the better of the hosts with a scoreline of 3-2.

India won the first T20I played in Nottingham by 97 runs on June 28. However, in that match, Harman didn't feature as a precautionary measure following a head injury sustained during the T20 warm-up match played against ECB Select XI.
She returned for the second match in Bristol and led Women in Blue to a 24-run win. In the third T20I played at The Oval on July 4, England defeated India by six runs to keep the series alive, but India sealed the deal in Manchester on July 9 by securing a six-wicket win over the Tammy Beaumont-led side.

Sanju Samson Wants To Leave Rajasthan Royals Because...
Last Updated: According to a report, there have apparently been many differences between RR and Samson, one of which was the management's decision to release Jos Buttler. Star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson is part of the Rajasthan Royals team in the Indian Premier League. He was retained for Rs 18 crore by the Jaipur-based franchise ahead of IPL 2025 mega auctions. In the 2025 edition of IPL, Samson played nine matches and, with the help of one half-century, scored 285 runs. After a disappointing 2025 season where the Royals finished ninth in the points table, it was reported that Samson wants to part ways with the Rajasthan Royals. According to a report in Cricbuzz last week, Samson formally requested to be traded or released into the auction. And on Wednesday (August 13), it was reported by the publication that 'there have apparently been many issues of differences between RR and Samson, one of which was the management's decision to release Jos Buttler." The former England white-ball captain was not retained by the Jaipur-based franchise ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction despite him scoring 3055 runs in 83 matches for the Royals in seven IPL seasons. 'Letting him go has been one of the most challenging decisions for me. During the England series, I told him over dinner that I was still not over it. If I could change one thing in the IPL, I would change the rule of releasing players every three years," Samson had told Star Sports before last IPL season. After being released by Royals, Buttler entered the IPL 2025 mega auction and he was signed for Rs 15.75 crore by Gujarat Titans. In IPL 2025, Buttler played 14 matches for the Shubman Gill-led side and scored 538 runs. RR want Jadeja or Gaikwad Royals are ready to trade Samson ahead of IPL 2026 auction and according to a report the inaugural edition winners have written to multiple franchises to enquire about their interest in signing Samson. It has been reported that RR owner Manoj Badale has even 'mentioned the names of specific players from different franchises that the Royals are keen on, in exchange for Samson." According to the available information, in exchange for Samson, RR have asked for Ravindra Jadeja or Ruturaj Gaikwad from Chennai Super Kings, but the Chennai-based franchise is not ready to entertain. All-rounder Shivam Dube, who has played for RR in the past, is also among the players the Royals are interested in signing from CSK as part of the Samson deal, but CSK are unwilling to part with the India all-rounder either. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Raina recalls fan's prized match ball souvenir from IPL 2008 and Tendulkar's light-hearted prank
New Delhi: Former India batter Suresh Raina shared an unusual fan encounter linked to one of the biggest sixes hit by him during the inaugural IPL season in 2008. Raina, a member of the Indian team winning 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy, had finished his playing career as a four-time IPL winner with the Chennai Super Kings. 'In 2008, when the IPL started, I remember the Wankhede Stadium wasn't like it is now, it was still the old stadium. We had a qualifier match against Punjab, and I hit a six off James Hopes that went outside the stadium.' 'A few years later, about three or four years on, I went to get my hair cut. A girl approached me with a ball for me to sign. I didn't realise it was 'that' ball. She asked, 'Sir, do you know which ball this is?' I replied, 'It must be some normal cricket ball.' She said, 'Sir, you hit a six outside the Wankhede Stadium, it's that ball'.' 'She told me she was outside the stadium when it happened, saw the ball come out, and kept it. I never imagined such fandom, and honestly, James Hopes should have been the one asking me for that ball's signature!' said Raina in an episode of 'Cheeky Singles' show on JioHotstar. He then went on to share a light-hearted in-flight prank played on him by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar during his early days with the Indian team. 'We were once going to play a Test match when I was about 18 years old, and I was sitting in business class next to Sachin paaji. The air hostess came over and said, 'Good morning, Sachin sir. How are you?' and assuming I was Arjun Tendulkar, she said something to him about me in passing.' 'Sachin paaji saw a chance to have some fun. He replied, 'Yes, he's not studying at all, what to do? I've even told Anjali (Tendulkar).' Later, we went to the section where the other players were sitting, and I blurted, 'Why are you making me sit in business class? You've made me Arjun Tendulkar!' (Sachin) paaji eventually clarified it for the air hostess saying, 'He's a part of the Indian cricket team, he's Suresh Raina, not my son.' Paaji loved playing such big pranks sometimes.' Former India captain and legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble recounted moments of being mistaken for several cricketing greats. Many things have happened to me too. People have called me Javagal Srinath, that's fine. Some said Ravi Shastri, that's also fine. Kapil Dev, fine as well. Some even thought I was Azharuddin — that's okay. But in the US, people came up to me and said, 'You are Sunil Gavaskar.' That one was a bit much.' He also shared a humorous incident with a person in a party who tried to offer him bowling tips. 'There was a party somewhere while I was active in international cricket as a player. A man walked up to me with a glass in his hand, clearly in high spirits and said, 'You should bowl leg spin like this'.' 'I asked him, 'What are you doing tomorrow morning?' His enthusiasm dropped immediately. He asked, 'Why?' I replied, 'Our practice is at 9:30. Come in your whites and please show me how to improve my leg-spin bowling.' And just like that, he disappeared.'
