Kevin Pietersen apologised for on-air 'joker' jibe, Ambati Rayudu says he could've fired back: 'You did nothing for RCB'
Former India batter Ambati Rayudu took a dig at ex-England captain Kevin Pietersen over his viral on-air 'joker' comment aimed at him after the IPL 2024 final between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai. Rayudu revealed that professional courtesy had stopped him from hitting back at the time. Ambati Rayudu recalled an IPL 2024 banter with Kevin Pietersen After Kolkata beat Sunrisers to lift their third title in history, Pietersen, while in conversation with Matthew Hayden and Rayudu on Star Sports, mocked the Indian for switching allegiances. 'I have at least held firm. I wore it and I owned it. You are a joker, always a joker,' Pietersen told Rayudu, pointing towards the jacket he wore. The former Chennai Super Kings batter responded, saying, 'I am supporting both the teams. I am supporting good cricket." The 'joker' comment sparked widespread discussion on social media, with fans and analysts debating the exchange. Recalling the episode in Shubhankar Mishra's podcast, Rayudu explained why he changed his jacket during his broadcasting duty, saying it had nothing to do with which side he supported. He further said that in reply he could have questioned Pietersen's contributions for Royal Challengers Bangalore during his IPL stint for the franchise between 2009 and 2010. The veteran batter, who won six IPL titles with CSK and Mumbai Indians, said he chose to maintain professional decorum and respect broadcast etiquette during the incident. 'That day we had not picked teams. Chennai was hot, so I had two jackets. On air, he said whatever, but we could also tell him things because he played for RCB and did not do anything. I was maintaining professional decorum. He apologised later, also, for saying that on air. We were just having banter, but people took it in some way. But it affected him more and not me,' Rayudu said. Pietersen's IPL career spanned three franchises. He started with RCB, scoring 329 runs with two fifties across two seasons, before moving to Delhi Daredevils (2012–2014), and later representing the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant in 2016. Despite flashes of brilliance, his IPL career was often critiqued for inconsistency, which added weight to Rayudu's on-air jab.

India's Asia Cup Squad 2025: R Ashwin Makes Stunning Selection Call, Snubs This Top Star
Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has shared his opinion on the burning selection topic in the Indian team for the Asia Cup 2025. As the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) gears up to pick the squad for the continental event on Tuesday, Ashwin made some bold selection calls as he named his 15-member squad for the tournament. For Ashwin, there was no place for Test skipper Shubman Gill, whose case has been highly debated among fans and experts the last few days. But, Ashwin had no hesitation in picking Shreyas Iyer in the roster. At the top, Ashwin had no qualms in picking the duo of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson, while Shreyas Iyer came in at the No. 3 spot for the veteran off-spinner. Ashwin also feels Shreyas' inclusion wouldn't leave any spot for Shivam Dube in the squad. "Shreyas at 3. Surya and Tilak can float. Surya and Tilak can change between 4 and 5. If you are bringing Shreyas Iyer on the scheme of things, then Shivam Dube doesn't have a place. He doesn't have a place. He can be in a backup position. Which we can discuss. Because if Shreyas Iyer, Surya and Tilak, if they form your top 5, then it is 6 and 7. 6 and 7 is a block. Akshar Patel and Hardik Pandya. There is no debate in that," Ashwin said in a video on his YouTube channel, 'Ash Ki Baat'. Among wicket-keepers, the likes of KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel and Jitesh Sharma are competing for the spot of Sanju Samson's backup. Ashwin is strongly of the opinion that Jitesh will win that race. "We have sent Sanju up (in the order). So, we will have to discuss who is the backup keeper. There are many candidates for backup keeper. Last time, Dhruv Jhurel was there. KL Rahul is there. Rishabh Pant, I am not sure if he is recovered. "But on one hand, the real person that I think is going to walk into this Indian team is Jitesh Sharma. As per his IPL, and the way he batted, and he can play the role of a finisher. If Jitesh Sharma is your backup keeper, then Shivam Dube goes out of the window. "Shivam Dube cannot come. If Jitesh Sharma is going to be a part of it, Shivam Dubey is out, can't come in. "Because Jitesh Sharma will take care of finishing. Which means, Jitesh Sharma becomes your backup wicket-keeper. Which is your 15th slot," Ashwin added. In the spin bowling unit, Ashwin gave his vote of confidence to Kuldeep Yadav of Washington Sundar while Varun Chakravarthy is a certain pick in the team. "So, at number 8, it is between Washington Sundar and Kuldeep. You know my opinion. Kuldeep Yadav at 8. So, Washington Sundar goes to number 14. At number 9, Varun Chakravarthy. You must have seen in TNPL, the way he batted. He has worked a bit on batting.

Top mile runner Parvej Khan gets a six-year ban for doping
Parvej Khan NEW DELHI: Middle-distance runner Parvej Khan, who had lit up the American Collegiate circuit with some showstopping performances in the men's 800m and 1,500m events, and becoming the first Indian track athlete to compete at the NCAA championships in Boston, has been banned by the Nada's anti-doping disciplinary panel (ADDP) for a maximum period of six years on twin counts — failed dope test and whereabouts failure. TOI has obtained Parvej's ADDP order copy dated Aug 12, 2025, in which the threemember panel found the 19-year-old mile sensation from Mewat guilty of testing positive for a non-specified substance 'erythropoietin' (EPO) during his 'A' sample examination and returning a combination of three missed tests or filing failures on 12.05.2023; 10.07.2023 and 05.12.2023 within a 12-month period. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The ADDP panel comprising chairperson Charu Pragya and members Dr. Bikash Medhi and Archana Surve held Parvej liable for sanctions under two charges – under article 10.2.1.1 for an ineligibility period of four years for returning an adverse analytical finding (AAF) for 'EPO — peptide hormones, growth factors, related substance and mimetics' and another two years under article 10.9 for multiple violations (read whereabouts failure). 'In the present case, since the athlete had been provisionally suspended, the panel accordingly holds that the athlete's period of ineligibility for 6 years shall commence from the date on which the notification was sent, i.e., by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 Foods That Help In Healing Knee Pain Naturally Undo 28.08.2024. 'All other competitive results obtained by the athlete from the date of sample collection, i.e., 27.06.2024, shall be disqualified with all resulting consequences, including forfeiture of medals, points and prizes,' the order read. Due to his retrospective ban, Parvej will forfeit his gold medal won in the 1,500m race clocking 3:42.95s at the 63rd National Inter State senior athletics meet in Panchkula last year. He was tested by Nada officers during the same championships on June 27 & 28. All his other results obtained during that period will be declared null and void. Parvej, who went to Florida on scholarship, had some standout performances in the USA's Collegiate system, becoming the first from the country to qualify for the final of a track event in the NCAA Championships. During the Portland Track festival last year, he clocked a personal best time of 3:36.21 in the 1500m, marking the second-fastest time by an Indian, following Jinson Johnson's national record of 3:35.24 set in 2019. Triple jumper Varkey provisionally suspended In another doping setback in athletics, triple jumper Sheena Varkey has been provisionally suspended by Nada after testing positive for a banned substance. The 32-year-old Kerala athlete had finished sixth in the triple jump event at the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
