1xBat and TNPL: a partnership for the future of Indian cricket
The online news platform 1xBat has become an official partner of TNPL 2025, the promising regional cricket championship. This collaboration will support local sports and serve as a launchpad for young talents who aim to grow and build successful careers at the national level.
TNPL is an annual Twenty20 cricket championship for franchises from the state of Tamil Nadu. Matches take place in July and August at the region's largest stadiums: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Salem Cricket Foundation Ground, SNR College Cricket Ground, NPR College Ground, and Indian Cement Company Ground.
Founded in 2016, the Tamil Nadu Premier League has captivated tens of thousands of spectators with its exciting matches over the past nine years. The games are broadcast on Disney Star and Fancode.
The TNPL regional championship has served as a starting point for talented cricketers who have gone on to become stars in the IPL and even the Indian national team, such as Thangarasu Natarajan, Washington Sundar, and Varun Chakravarthy. Their success highlights the potential and crucial role of the regional league in developing cricket across the country.
The partnership with TNPL 2025 has become a crucial component of the 1xBat global strategy to support local cricket championships and young players. Over the past six months alone, the brand has sponsored 12 regional cricket leagues, including the Haryana Titans Championship, the Super Kings Championship, the 3rd Life Caere T-20 Cup, the Industrial Trophy, and numerous other local tournaments. A strong commitment to supporting talented athletes has laid the foundation for a productive partnership.
'1xBat and TNPL share common values and a mutual desire to shape a brighter future for India starting today. True cricket is born in regional leagues where young men with fire in their eyes and a burning ambition fight their way to the top to earn applause at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Their dreams will become reality thanks to the consistent financial and marketing support of the Tamil Nadu Premier League,' said a spokesperson from 1xBat Sporting Lines.
As part of the collaboration, stadiums will feature branded mats, balls, advertising boards, and outdoor banners with the 1xBat logo. The new partner's name will also be heard on the radio and mentioned by commentators during TNPL match broadcasts.
'We are excited to collaborate with one of the top online news platforms in India and are confident that with the 1xBat support, we will elevate TNPL to a new level. Match previews, in-depth analytical content, and engaging stories about the league's most talented players will draw new fans to the stadiums and boost viewership of the most thrilling live matches,' said R.I. Palani, TNPL representative.
The 9th season of the Tamil Nadu Premier League is set to kick off next month, promising an exciting array of thrilling matches and a new wave of promising players. The reigning champions, Dindigul Dragons, will try to repeat last year's success, but Chepauk Super Gillies, Trichy Grand Cholas, and other teams are also ready to struggle for the title.

4 Indian Cricketers Who Are Playing In MLC 2025: Unmukt Chand, Agni Chopra And...
3 / 8 Agni Chopra, who holds the record of being the first cricketer to hit four tons in his first four Ranji Trophy matches while playing for Mizoram, is currently representing MI New York (MINY) in the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 season. Agni, son of Bollywood director Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who played domestic cricket in India as recently as January 2025, was allowed to participate in MLC 2025 for MI New York due to a special reason. Interestingly, Agni is not an Indian passport holder despite being Indian. Chopra holds a USA citizenship due to his birth in Detroit. His dream to play in America came true as the BCCI recently amended their policy which stated that players with Indian passports would only be allowed to compete in the domestic tournaments. Earlier, overseas cricketers (even entire teams, such as those in the Duleep Trophy) had played domestic cricket in India, but they will no longer be allowed to do so.

Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Posting an Instagram Story with a heartfelt note, Yuvraj wrote: "Happy Father's Day baapu! The one who taught me that the only finish line worth crossing is the one you reach by never giving up! Lots of love," tagging his father's handle, @yograjofficial. Yograj Singh, a former India cricketer and an actor, is remembered for his strict, disciplinarian parenting — often described by Yuvraj as both demanding and defining. The lessons of hard work, mental toughness, and the refusal to quit clearly influenced Yuvraj's remarkable journey through Indian cricket , from a flamboyant match-winner to a cancer survivor who made an inspiring comeback. One of India's greatest limited-overs match-winners, Yuvraj played 402 international matches between 2000 and 2017, amassing over 11,000 runs. He was central to India's historic 2011 World Cup win, earning the Player of the Tournament award for his all-round brilliance - 362 runs and 15 wickets. He also etched his name in history with six sixes in an over during the 2007 T20 World Cup. Kuldeep Yadav hints at spin-friendly wicket ahead of England Test series While Yuvraj has often spoken about the tough love he received from his father, this public message reflected a softer, more thankful side of that bond — one built on grit, legacy, and enduring love.

FIH Hockey Pro League: India's Women team dealt narrow 1-2 defeat by Australia
London, [UK] June 15 (ANI): The Indian Women's Hockey Team were dealt a narrow 1-2 defeat by Australia in their FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 (Women) match at the Lee Valley Hockey & Tennis Centre on Sunday, as per a release from Hockey India. Vaishnavi Vitthal Phalke (3') scored the only goal for India while Amy Lawton (37') and Lexie Pickering (60') were the goalscorers for Australia. India took an early lead in the proceedings but Australia made a comeback with a goal in the third and final minute of the fourth quarter to seal the victory. India made a bright start to the game as they won three back-to-back penalty corners in the very first minute, adding pressure on the Australian backline. India carried on their momentum and scored the opening goal as early as the third minute to take charge of the match. Navneet Kaur carried the ball forward and passed it to Sharmila Devi on the left who played it to the far post for Vaishnavi as she deflected the ball into the net. India continued to pile on the pressure as Navneet came close to extending the lead but narrowly missed the target. Minutes later, Australia won two back-to-back penalty corners towards the end of first quarter but India did well at the back to maintain their lead. Australia improved their performance in the second quarter and started creating good goalscoring chances. Both sides exchanged possession and battled it out in the midfield but they couldn't be separated in the second quarter as India headed into the second half with a goal in hand. Australia were more dominant in the third quarter and caused troubles for the Indian defence. Greta Hayes came teasingly close to scoring a goal as she struck a shot towards an empty net, however, the ball was stopped by her own teammate by accident. In the 37th minute, Australia were on the attack again but this time, they managed to find the equaliser courtesy of a brilliant goal from Amy Lawton. Amy did well to win the ball from an India defender and then unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the circle, past the keeper into the bottom right corner. The scores were level as both sides headed into the final quarter of the match. India received a penalty corner but the Australian keeper made a strong save to keep her side in the contest. In the 54th minute, India won four penalty corners in a row but they couldn't manage to find the net. In their third attempt, Neha fired a shot which took a deflection and struck the post, missing the net by a few inches. With 34 seconds left on the clock, Australia converted a penalty corner to complete their comeback in the match. Tatum Stewart played the perfect pass to Lexie Pickering on the right as she took the Indian goalkeeper off-guard and deflected the ball into the net to claim all three points. India next play Argentina on June 17 at the same venue. (ANI)
