India to take a huge risk at the Oval, star player to get chance to play the final IND vs ENG Test, his name is... New Delhi: India is going to play a big bet in the fifth Test between India and England to be held at the Oval. Led by Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir, India is going to give Arshdeep Singh a chance to make his Test debut. India's aim is to level the series in this match starting on 31 July. Arshdeep got a chance to make his Test debut Arshdeep Singh got a place in the Test team for the first time for the England tour. But he did not get a chance in the first three Tests as Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna were preferred as specialist fast bowlers. Akash Deep was included in the playing XI in the second and third Tests. Arshdeep was out of the fourth Test due to injury During the preparation for the fourth Test, Arshdeep got injured while bowling in the nets. He was ruled out of the match due to a cut on his bowling hand. Meanwhile, Akash Deep also got injured and in his place, Anshul Kamboj was made to debut in the Manchester Test, who was not part of the original team. Arshdeep can become the 319th Indian Test player According to the Times of India report, Arshdeep Singh is going to become India's 319th Test player in the Oval Test. According to the report, he will replace Jasprit Bumrah while Akash Deep will also return to the playing XI and form a three-member fast bowling attack with Mohammed Siraj. However, the final decision regarding Bumrah will be taken just before the match. Arshdeep also has experience in International and England Even though Arshdeep has not played Test cricket yet, he is a well-known name internationally. He is the highest wicket-taker in T20 Internationals for India. He has taken 99 wickets in 63 T20Is. Apart from this, he has taken 14 wickets in 9 ODIs. In first-class cricket, he has taken 66 wickets in 21 matches. In 2023, Arshdeep played red-ball cricket in England for county club Kent in which he took 13 wickets in five matches.

Fractured foot, unbreakable spirit: Rishabh Pant writes a new chapter in Manchester
Rishabh Pant (Getty Images) In the world of superheroes, a 'superpower' might mean flight, invisibility, or superhuman strength. But in cricket, Rishabh Pant has shown time and again that his truest superpower is none of these — it's the unwavering refusal to give up. He's dazzled with outrageous strokeplay — sweeping fast bowlers, hitting sixes while falling, and rewriting the script at some of cricket's most daunting venues. But beyond the fireworks lies something far more enduring: grit. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Pant's 'never-say-die' spirit has shown up at the most crucial times — whether it was his heroic 97 in Sydney with an injured elbow, the fearless 91* at the Gabba that clinched a famous series win, or his dramatic return to cricket in 2024, just 15 months after a life-threatening car crash. But nothing captured this superpower more vividly than his decision to bat on July 24 during the fourth Test against England — with a fractured foot. Despite a broken fifth metatarsal, Pant resumed his innings at 37 and went on to score 54, visibly in pain, barely running, yet hitting boundaries. The decision stunned fans and critics alike. Many questioned the risk involved, but Pant made it clear — for him, playing for India wasn't optional. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Making history: These 5 timepieces set world records at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025 CNA Read More Undo It was instinct. His sister Sakshi summed it up best: 'Zakhmi hoon, magar khel raha hoon, kyunki haar manna meri fitrat mei nahi hai.' (I am injured, but I am still playing, because accepting defeat is not in my nature.) Pant's journey is full of such stories — from long bus rides from Roorkee to Delhi for trials, to playing an IPL match days after losing his father, to learning from the likes of MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant himself. Sports psychologist Alisha Raut-Pimple, who worked with Pant early in his career, believes this mindset was forged through hardship and nurtured by experience. 'He doesn't view pressure or pain as obstacles — he sees them as challenges to grow through,' she said. IND vs ENG: The Oval curator breaks silence on Gautam Gambhir's outburst ahead of 5th Test Pant's 54 at Old Trafford now joins cricket's folklore of bravery — alongside Kumble bowling with a broken jaw, Laxman battling back spasms, or Graeme Smith walking in with a broken hand. But Pant wasn't chasing headlines. He was just being who he is — a cricketer defined not by boundaries but by backbone. In the end, Pant's greatest gift to Indian cricket might not be his sixes or centuries, but the lesson his body and spirit keep repeating: the true superpower is never giving up.

Chandrakant Pandit steps down as Kolkata Knight Riders head coach, franchise thanks him for 2024 title
Kolkata Knight Riders ( KKR ) head coach Chandrakant Pandit on Tuesday parted ways with the franchise following a disappointing 2025 season, where the team managed to win only five of the 14 matches. Pandit's biggest achievement with the team came in 2024 when the franchise lifted the third IPL title after a gap of a decade.

"Mr. Chandrakant Pandit has decided to explore new opportunities and will not continue as Head Coach of Kolkata Knight Riders," KKR said in a post shared on 'X'. "We are thankful for his invaluable contributions — including leading KKR to the IPL Championship in 2024 and helping build a strong, resilient squad. His leadership and discipline have left a lasting impact on the team. We wish him all the very best for the future." Live Events — KKRiders (@KKRiders) Pandit is a respected figure in the Indian domestic circuits. He was appointed as the team's head coach ahead of the 2023 season. His first year in charge saw the team finish seventh, with regular skipper Shreyas Iyer missing the season due to injury. KKR bounced back in 2024 as Iyer returned to lead the side and franchise legend Gautam Gambhir rejoined the camp as mentor. In the successful, KKR not only clinched the title but also registered the highest points tally and best net run rate (NRR) in their IPL history. However, the momentum fizzled out in 2025 as a poor run following the mega auction saw KKR win just five of their 14 league matches, crashing out of playoff contention with two games to spare.
