England all-rounder Liam Livingstone was picked by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for Rs. 8.75 crore during the IPL 2025 mega auction. However, he didn't perform up to the expectations for RCB in the IPL 2025 season, scoring only 112 runs in 10 matches with an ordinary average of 16.00 and picked just two wickets.
Livingstone was dropped from RCB's playing XI in the middle of the tournament and was later recalled in place of injured Tim David during the knockouts.

Now, Gill's a smash hit with brands
Gill MUMBAI: Indian cricket's latest blue-eyed boy, Shubman Gill , is the new favourite with brands. His stellar performance in the India-England Test series, both as captain and batsman, had already bolstered his brand value. Now, Gill's selection for the Asia Cup as vice-captain will only give further impetus to his brand equity. A Gen Z with much of his career ahead of him, Gill has all the chops a brand looks for. "Gill's brand value has appreciated by 30%-40% post the India-England series. His brand fees will increase anywhere in the range of 25%-50% depending on the kind of brand approaching him," Neeraj Jha, senior sports analyst and commentator, told TOI. From automobiles to global luxury brands, queries for Gill have shot up from an average of three to four per month to about 10-15 now, sources aware of discussions said. Gill currently charges endorsement fees in the range of Rs 4-5 crore for one brand per year. That can now easily go up to anywhere between Rs 6-8 crore, said Neerav Tomar, managing director and CEO at IOS Sports. Another analyst said that a few of his earlier deals were in the range of Rs 2-Rs 3.5 crore. "Gill already endorses close to 20 brands, and this number should go up. Youthful brands will seek new faces. Gill is the new Virat Kohli ," Tomar said. Gill's team, however, declined to comment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo The cricketer bagged a few big deals before the Test series. Tyre major MRF and global eyewear brand Oakley (for India) signed Gill as their brand ambassadors. Gill also expanded his associations with Casio and Coca-Cola during the year. From about eight brand associations in 2023, Gill's brand portfolio nearly doubled to 16 in 2025. The cricketer is estimated to have earned about Rs 40 crore in endorsement earnings in 2024. "A lot of MNCs are looking to sign Gill. Small brands can't afford him. His fees will only go up if he keeps on delivering," said Amitesh Shah, founder and CEO at sports, media, and entertainment company Legaxy, who estimates Gill's brand value to see a boost of over 40%. Sources said that Gill is "selective" about his brand partnerships, ensuring alignment with his values and career journey. Going ahead, perenniality (ability to deliver across all cricket formats) will be key for Gill to bag big brand deals, said Sandeep Goyal, chairman at Redifussion. "Perenniality leads to continued visibility, which is key to the endorsement game," said Goyal.

Karnataka Assembly Passes Crowd Control Bill 2 Months After Chinnaswamy Stadium Stampede
Last Updated: Key provisions of the bill include a strong emphasis on accountability and safety, mandating several requirements for event organisers In a significant legislative move, the Karnataka assembly has passed the 2025 Crowd Control Bill. The new law comes two months after the stampede at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4 during an event to celebrate the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) winning the Indian Premier League (IPL). The incident that killed 11 people and injured many others prompted the government to establish a robust legal framework for public gatherings. The bill was introduced by state home minister Dr G Parameshwara and has been cleared by the assembly. Key provisions of the bill include a strong emphasis on accountability and safety, mandating several requirements for event organisers. Mandatory Event Details and Safety Measures Event organisers are now required to submit a comprehensive application for an event permit. This application must include detailed information on the purpose of the event, the anticipated crowd size, clear outline of the safety measures and protocols that will be implemented to ensure the crowd's well-being and prevent any mishaps. The new law gives district magistrates the authority to postpone, cancel, or change the venue of an event if there's a risk of public unrest or breach of peace. The bill also includes stringent penalties for violations. Organisers who fail to comply with the law may face imprisonment for up to three years and fines up to Rs 5 lakh. In cases of injury or death due to negligence, the organiser is liable to pay compensation. The passing of this bill is seen as a crucial step by the Karnataka government to prevent future tragedies and ensure the safety of citizens at large-scale events. view comments First Published: August 21, 2025, 04:26 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Rishi informed that the opening ceremony of the games will be held on August 29 at Hoshiarpur. The torch relay will travel across all districts of Punjab before culminating at Hoshiarpur on August 29. The schedule for block, district, and state-level games has already been released. Competitions will be held between September 3 and November 23, 2025 at various stadiums in the villages, towns, and cities across Punjab. It is noteworthy that, like previous years, more than five lakh players across 37 sports disciplines and nine age categories will compete for medals this year. Winners will receive cash prizes worth over Rs 9 crore. Last year, para-athletics, badminton, and powerlifting were also included under the para category of these games. Sharing the route plan, the DC stated that the relay will cover the following districts: Sangrur, Barnala, and Mansa (August 20); Bathinda and Sri Muktsar Sahib (August 21); Fazilka and Faridkot (August 22); Ferozepur and Tarn Taran (August 23); Sri Amritsar Sahib and Gurdaspur (August 24); Pathankot, Kapurthala, and Jalandhar (August 25); Moga and Ludhiana (August 26); Malerkotla, Patiala, and Sri Fatehgarh Sahib (August 27); Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar and Rupnagar (August 28); and Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar before concluding at Hoshiarpur (August 29).

Moreover, the games will give young boys and girls an opportunity to further develop their sporting talent, Rishi said. He appealed to the youth of Sangrur to actively participate in these games.
