Kohli's childhood coach RajKumar Sharma finds two emerging talents in..., they are...
New Delhi: Team India star batsman Virat Kohli's childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma has revealed that even though Kohli is the greatest batsman of this generation in the family, the next generation has completely adopted leg spin. Aryaveer's entry in Delhi Premier League
On Sunday, July 6, Aryaveer, Virat Kohli's nephew and his brother Vikas' son, was bought by South Delhi Superstarz in the auction for the second season of the Delhi Premier League. Aryaveer bought for Rs 1 lakh
Aryaveer, who was included in the players' list of Delhi's premier T20 league for the first time, was bought by South Delhi for Rs 1 lakh. Rajkumar Sharma said in an exclusive conversation with News18 CricketNext, 'I am happy. Aryaveer is a promising, honest and hardworking kid. Delhi Premier League is a good platform for him to take his career forward.' No pressure of Kohli surname
When asked if Aryaveer ever felt the pressure of the Kohli surname, Rajkumar said, 'No, the family never pressured him for anything. He is a simple kid and has never tried to take advantage of his uncle's name.' Aryaveer and Aayush both leg spinners
It is natural to assume that with Virat Kohli as a batting legend, Aryaveer will follow the same path. But Aryaveer is a leg spinner, and Virat's sister Bhavana's son Aayush is also a leg spinner, as revealed by Rajkumar. Training from West Delhi Cricket Academy
Both Aryaveer and Aayush train at the West Delhi Cricket Academy, where Virat Kohli also trained under Rajkumar years ago. ' Aryaveer has always been a good bowler. Not just him, Aayush is also a leg spinner,' Rajkumar said with a smile.

Ahan and Suniel Shetty Celebrate Team India's Thrilling Win Over England At The Oval
Mumbai: Bollywood actors Suniel Shetty and his son Ahan Shetty celebrated Team India's thrilling win over England straight from the Oval stadium in London. On Monday, the father-son duo took to their Instagram handles, and shared a joint post featuring photos and videos from the stadium witnessing the winning moment. They wrote in the caption, '2 incredible days at The Oval! What a game and what a win! Come on India, always my India'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ahan Shetty (@ Both the actors went to see the match to lend their support to team India's opener KL Rahul. The cricketer is married to Suniel Shetty's daughter and Ahan's sister, Athiya Shetty. Team India levelled the series against England with the final Test match, as it defeated its opponents by 6 runs. After legendary pacer Jasprit Bumrah was given a rest for the final test, Siraj took over the reins of the Indian pace attack, and clinched 4 wickets in the first innings. India batted first in the innings, and scored 224 runs before they were all out. Only Karun Nair managed to score a half century from team India as he scored 57 runs from 109 balls. India lost early wickets in the 1st innings, and continued to struggle with the momentum. While the Indian opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul fumbled in the 1st innings, England's opening pair of Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett put up an impressive performance, Zak scored 64 runs and Ben settled for 43 before they were sent to the pavilion. Harry Brook emerged as a top scorer for England with 53 runs from 64 balls in the first innings. England gained a lead of 23 runs. Team India tightened the screws for both its batting line-up and bowling attack in the 2nd innings, and Yashasvi Jaiswal , who had scored just 2 runs in the 1st innings, turned on the beast mode, as he smashed 118 runs from 164 balls in the 2nd innings. His opening partner KL Rahul, could however, only score 7 runs. This time around, team India also saw three half centuries each from Akash Deep, the Dark Knight of the Indian cricket team across formats - Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. India nullified the lead, and went on to score 396 runs in the 2nd innings. England's opening pair was met with fierce attacks by the Indian pace artillery, Zak Crawley was sent back on 14 runs, as his partner Ben Duckett scored an impressive 54 from 83 balls. Joe Root and Harry Brook stood up to the occasion with support from Harry Brook as both of them hit tons but were restricted to a narrow margin, as India won the game by 6 runs. Siraj, who missed his seniors Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the slip cordon, emerged as the leading wicket taker for India in the final test match. The leveller game serves as a huge morale boost for the new generation Indian test team.

Where There's A Gill…
Where There's A Gill… Avijit Ghosh TNN Aug 04, 2025, 20:36 IST IST The new Team India proved it's a squad of unrelenting fighters in tough English conditions. Now, management must give the young talents a longer rope It happened again at the Oval. This is where Ajit Wadekar 's men had carved out India's historic, first-ever away victory over England in 1971. Nearly five-and-half decades later, Shubman Gill's young and fiery side produced a wondrous win in a Test where both the game's fate and the spectator's emotions swayed to unbearable extremes. Memories are made of this. The victory, by a T20-like margin of six runs which levelled the series 2-2, came from a position when all looked lost. The new Team India is a squad of unrelenting fighters. What made this five-Test series an affair to remember is that neither side yielded an inch. England, under lynchpin-leader Ben Stokes and Ollie Pope for the fifth Test, were equally indefatigable. Stokes bowled with a grade three shoulder muscle tear. Woakes walked out to the pitch arm under a sling, wincing in pain. Bashir with a finger fracture produced a match-winning decisive delivery. Indians also battled past the pain barrier. Pant batted with a fractured foot, even struck an outrageous boundary off paceman Archer. At times cricket felt like a heavyweight boxing duel: bodies bruised, spirit unyielding.

Budhilal leads India's strong showing on day one of the Fourth Asian Surfing Championships 2025
Ramesh Budihal led India's charge on the opening day of the Fourth Asian Surfing Championships 2025, held at the iconic point break in Mamallapuram here on Monday. Budihal posted an impressive 12.33 points, winning his heat by 4.93 points, and cruised comfortably into Round Three. He was joined by fellow Indians Kishore Kumar, who scored 12.17 (winning by 3.77 points), and D. Srikanth, who advanced with a solid 13.70 (winning margin: 1.44). Reflecting on his performance and the day's wave conditions, Budihal said: 'I was really disappointed last year — not being part of the Championships hit hard. But this year, I set clear goals and worked hard to reach them.' 'Today, the waves weren't as consistent as we'd hoped. A week ago, we had a great swell, but now it's dropped. Still, the conditions were decent — just not predictable. In a heat, you have to adapt and surf with whatever comes your way. I'm happy I made it through,' Budihal added. Team India will aim to carry this momentum into the next rounds, eyeing a strong finish in what promises to be a high-stakes week of competition.
