India vs England Live Streaming, First Test: When, where and how to watch IND vs ENG 1st Test live on TV and online
Gill's elevation comes at a time of significant transition. With just 32 Tests under his belt and an average just above 35, critics may question his readiness. However, former mentors like Gary Kirsten and legends such as Matthew Hayden have backed the Punjab-born opener to rise to the occasion, praising his cricketing intelligence, discipline, and calm demeanour under pressure.
India's squad reflects its transitional phase — an exciting but raw group of players stepping into unfamiliar leadership and match-day roles. With Rishabh Pant returning as vice-captain and expected to bat at No. 5, the batting line-up lacks the cushion of experience but boasts flair. KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal will be crucial at the top.
The bowling unit, too, is evolving. With Ashwin retired and Shami not fit enough, India will likely depend on a pace-heavy attack featuring Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur and Arshdeep Singh.
England, led by Ben Stokes, are well aware of India's rebuilding status but won't underestimate the visitors. With familiar names like Joe Root and Harry Brook anchoring their batting, the hosts aim to press home the advantage early in the series.
The match also marks the start of the 2025–27 ICC World Test Championship cycle for both teams. For India, this series is not just about results but about laying the foundation of a team for the future — one led by a young, composed, and determined Shubman Gill.

Akash Deep bowled 'ball of the series' to Root: Sachin Tendulkar
Reuters Akash Deep celebrates after taking the wicket of England's Joe Root The legendary Sachin Tendulkar hailed Akash Deep as the "standout bowler" of the match and described his delivery to dismiss Joe Root in the second innings as the "ball of the series," following India's emphatic 336-run series-levelling win in the second Test at Edgbaston. Akash Deep returned figures of 6 for 99 in the second innings to complete a match haul of 10 for 187, while Mohammed Siraj claimed seven wickets across both innings to help power India to victory. Tendulkar was full of praise on 'X'. "India's approach was to take England out of this game and force them to play differently, making sure that there would only be 1 winner. What impressed me most about the bowlers was the length they bowled. "Needless to say, Akash Deep was the standout bowler, and in my opinion, he bowled the ball of the series to Joe Root," Tendulkar wrote. On a funny note, he also didn't forget to mention Siraj's diving catch at short mid-wicket. "Enjoyed the catch taken by Mohammad "Jonty" Siraj," the owner of 51 Test hundreds commented. Tendulkar also praised the batting effort which set up an easy win. The recently retired Virat Kohli wrote: "Great victory for India at Edgbaston. Fearless and kept pushing England to the wall. Brilliantly led by Shubman with the bat and in the field and impactful performances from everyone. Special mention to Siraj and Akash for the way they bowled on this pitch." Another former India skipper Sourav Ganguly was all praise for Shubman Gill and his team. "What a performance from shubman gill and his team.. with the bat and now with the (sic) and Siraj just brilliant .indian attack looking far superior than the English attack .. Akasdeep (sic) and Siraj are workhorses. india win without be better result with the fantastic Gill in charge. What a fantastic batting effort," Ganguly wrote on X. NCA director VVS Laxman said: "Well done, Team India on an exceptional victory! It was amazing to see the team's fighting spirit and resilience. Congratulations Shubman on an outstanding match with the bat and for leading the team with such poise. "A great start to your captaincy. Also great effort from Shiraj and Akashdeep. Wishing you all the best for your future matches," Laxman further added.

Trained by a Punjab cop in a Chandigarh park, Mandi's son Abhinash Jamwal punches his way to world silver
1 2 3 4 5 6 Chandigarh: Joginder Singh was a happy man on Monday. A Punjab Police assistant sub-inspector who trains budding pugilists for free at Chandigarh's Sector 2 Bougainvillea Garden, Joginder felt his dreams come true when Abhinash Jamwal (22) won the silver medal in the men's 65kg category at the World Boxing Cup in Astana, Kazakhstan. Abhinash's victory comes as a soothing balm for Himachal Pradesh's flood-ravaged Mandi — his home district. Abhinash's uncle, Rajesh Bhaduria, brought him to Chandigarh from his village, Barot in Mandi, at the age of 14 because the atmosphere at home was not conducive to his growth. "Once in Chandigarh, he took me to Joginder sir for training," says Abhinash, who studied at Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 28, Chandigarh. It was under Joginder Singh's watchful eyes that Abhinash learnt the basics of boxing and found his way into the system. Abhinash was a little under five feet tall when he started training under Joginder. "He is six feet now, just like Vijender Singh. He has worked really hard, and his success is a reflection of that," adds Joginder. "I personally feel like I have achieved something today." After training under Joginder and winning a silver medal at the National Junior Boxing Championship in 2018, Abhinash enrolled at the Sports Training Centre (STC) hostel in Mastuana Sahib, Punjab, which is part of the Sports Authority of India (SAI) regional centre in Chandigarh. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 아픈 사람의 99%는 목이 뭉쳐있습니다. 더 알아보기 Undo 아픈 사람의 99%는 목이 뭉쳐있습니다. 더 알아보기 Undo 아픈 사람의 99%는 목이 뭉쳐있습니다. 더 알아보기 Undo 아픈 사람의 99%는 목이 뭉쳐있습니다. 더 알아보기 Undo There has been no looking back for Abhinash since then. He does not plan to rest on his laurels and is preparing for the World Boxing Championship this September. "I will be back to training at NIS, Patiala, once I return," he says. Abhinash, who finds inspiration from Indian boxers Shiva Thapa and Nishant Dev, says an Olympic gold is the ultimate goal. "I will be working twice as hard for the Asian Games, from where I hope to book a berth for the Olympics," he adds. For Joginder Singh, Abhinash was the true winner in the final bout at Astana. "But maybe that's because I'll always have a bias for my students," he says. "One thing is certain: he will reach the Olympics and do the impossible one day. He has come far from Barot, hasn't he?" adds Joginder. Abhinash, meanwhile, had a message for "his people" in Mandi. "I feel sad about what is happening there. I just want people back home to stay strong, as everything will be fine. God always has a plan," he says. God had a plan for Abhinash too.

New archery coach Rahul stresses on consistency
1 2 Kolkata: Rahul Banerjee missed out on winning an Olympic medal but now as the coach of the Indian women's recurve side he gets a second chance to fulfil a cherished dream. The former India archer will take the first step towards that goal in the Archery World Cup Stage 4 that begins in Madrid on Tuesday. "We have a good mix of experience and youth this time," Banerjee told TOI about the side. The team featuring Olympians Deepika Kumari and Ankita Bhakat along with Maharashtra's Gatha Anandrao Khadake and Sharvari Shende has a good blend of experience and youth. Banerjee, who has been training star couple Atanu Das and Deepika for almost a year now, becomes the second Olympian after Limba Ram to become the national coach. "As I have travelled the same path, I feel I am able to understand the archers better than a foreign coach," Banerjee said, adding that he has already prepared a roadmap to the Los Angeles 2028 Games.

But I feel more than the numbers we need consistency. Archery is all about maintaining your standard in all situations. A little here and there can harm your chances," Banerjee said. The Arjuna Award-winning archer is aware of the fact that India have not won a World Cup medal in women's team category since 2021. "With change in rules, the team will be more important in the LA Games and hence I will look to get the combination right," Banerjee said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo However, the 38-year-old Banerjee, brother of Olympian archer Dola, is focussing more on scores than medals in Spain. "I am looking at this World Cup as a preparation for the upcoming World Championship in Gwangju, Korea (Sept 5-12). The World Championship is a huge platform which tests not only an archer's skill but also his mental toughness. I have chalked out some points and want to see how our girls can implement those in the competition," he stated. Banerjee is also working with the team support staff at the national camp. "I feel results will come only if we are all on the same page. Hence I am regularly co-ordinating with the physio, psychologist and other people to prepare a wholesome programme for the archers," he pointed out.
