Wait, what? 261 IPL jerseys worth ₹6.5 lakh stolen from Wankhede Stadium
The incident reportedly occurred on June 13 but only came to light after a routine audit revealed missing stock from the storeroom. Upon checking CCTV footage, BCCI officials saw Khan walking out with a box full of jerseys.
The stolen kits were of different IPL teams, though it remains unclear whether they were meant for players or for public sale. Investigators said Khan sold the jerseys to an online dealer based in Haryana, whom he had connected with through social media.
"The guard claims he haggled a bit with the online dealer, but he hasn't yet specified how much he got for the deal," a police source told TOI.
The police further stated that the jerseys were sent via courier to the Haryana-based dealer, who has now been summoned for questioning.
"The online dealer says he was not aware that the jerseys had been stolen," a police official said. "The guard had told the man in Haryana that the jerseys were part of a stock clearance sale due to renovation work that was going on at the office."
So far, 50 of the 261 stolen jerseys have been recovered. Khan has reportedly told police that he received payment directly into his bank account but lost all the money to online gambling.
"He the guard claims he lost it all to online gambling," the police source added. Authorities are now verifying his bank details to confirm his version of events.
The BCCI filed an official complaint with the Marine Drive Police Station on 17 July.

IPL: KKR want KL Rahul in blockbuster trade; may make him captain
New Delhi: Delhi Capitals KL Rahul reacts during an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 T20 cricket match between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, in New Delhi. (PTI Photo/Ravi Choudhary) *** Local Caption *** Mumbai: The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are keen to acquire India batsman KL Rahul via a trade deal for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, the TOI has learnt. Rahul played for Delhi Capitals in the previous season. According to a source, KKR are interested in acquiring the India opener's services and have sent him feelers regarding this. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'However, the deal is unlikely to work out as KKR don't have anybody they can trade to the Delhi Capitals in return,' the source said. A big reason why KKR may be interested in getting Rahul into their fold is the presence of their assistant coach, former India all-rounder Abhishek Nayar . During his time with the Indian team as assistant coach, Rahul enjoyed an excellent equation with Nayar, and his white-ball resurgence can be attributed to the time he spent practicing and fine-tuning his game with Nayar. "I've worked really hard on my white-ball game the last year or so. Big shoutout to Abhishek Nayar. I've worked a lot with him ever since he's come into the Indian team. We've spent hours and hours together talking about my white-ball game and how I can be better. We worked hours and hours together in Bombay, and somewhere I have found the fun playing white-ball cricket," Rahul had said during the IPL. KKR may even offer captaincy to the 33-year-old Rahul. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kate Middleton's Daring Outfit Took Prince William's Breath Away Daily Sport X Undo Poll Should KKR pursue KL Rahul for IPL 2026?

Some bad calls — letting go of their 2024 IPL-winning captain Shreyas Iyer and roping in Venkatesh Iyer for ₹23.75 crore — cost the franchise heavily. The Shah Rukh Khan-owned team was led by Ajinkya Rahane last season. Rahul was roped in by Delhi Capitals (DC) for ₹14 crore after he parted ways with the Lucknow Super Giants. Meanwhile, KKR parted ways with head coach Chandrakant Pandit after three seasons. The franchise also let go of bowling coach Bharat Arun, who has joined the Lucknow Super Giants.

WATCH: BCCI go back to the start ahead of fifth IND vs ENG Test - 'Let's go!'

(Image: X/BCCI) Ahead of the fifth Test between India and England, BCCI have posted a motivational video featuring coach Gautam Gambhir and visuals of the Indian team in practice at The Oval. India go into the contest with a chance to level the series 2-2, earning a series draw just like they did in 2021-22. In the video, the BCCI used Gambhir's words at the very start of the series as he tried to motivated the young squad, a team that is in transition after the retirements of veterans R Ashwin, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. "All I want to say is there are two ways of looking at this tour: One is that we are without our three most experienced players or we got this phenomenal opportunity to do something special for the country because there is no bigger honour. Let's go," he had said. — BCCI (@BCCI) Going into the contest, England and India are set to field significantly altered teams for the decisive Test at The Oval starting Thursday, with England captain Ben Stokes ruled out due to a shoulder injury and India facing uncertainty over Jasprit Bumrah's availability. England have made four changes to their side following the drawn fourth Test at Old Trafford. Spin-bowling all-rounder Jacob Bethell will make his first Test appearance of 2025 in place of Stokes. Stokes' absence is a major setback for England as he recently became the fourth English cricketer to score a century and take five wickets in the same Test at Old Trafford. He is also the series' leading wicket-taker with 17 wickets at 25.23. "I am obviously disappointed to not be able to finish the series. Bowling was ruled out as soon as we got the scan results," Stokes told reporters on Wednesday. England's pace attack will see Josh Tongue, Gus Atkinson, and Jamie Overton joining the team, while Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse are rested. Liam Dawson has been dropped, leaving England without a specialist spinner. India's team selection hinges on Bumrah's availability. The world's top-ranked Test bowler has already played three games in the series, as planned due to his previous back injury, and bowled 33 overs at Old Trafford. "We are going to take a decision tomorrow (Thursday). The wicket looks pretty green. So, we will see how it turns out," India captain Shubman Gill said Wednesday. India could recall Akash Deep, who claimed 10 wickets in the second Test at Edgbaston but missed the Lord's Test due to a groin injury. They must also replace wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, who fractured his foot in Manchester, with Dhruv Jurel taking over. The series has been marked by growing tensions. India refused to shake hands for an early draw in the fourth Test after Gill accused England of time-wasting tactics at Lord's. A dispute also erupted between India coach Gautam Gambhir and Oval groundsman Lee Fortis. "I think once the match is over, there is mutual respect between both the teams," Gill said regarding the series' heated moments. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.
