Watch: Rohit Sharma presents Mohammed Siraj his T20 World Cup champions ring
India captain Rohit Sharma presented Mohammed Siraj with his T20 World Cup Champions ring for his contributions to the team's success last year in the USA and the Caribbean. Siraj played a vital role, especially during India's first few games in the USA. The Indian team was presented with their Champions ring at the Naman Awards last year and Siraj wasn't a part of the function. advertisementRohit decided to make amends for that and in a special moment, met up with the pacer to give him his ring. The India captain said that Siraj was due at the function and was proud to present him with the ring and both shared a hug as well. "This is for Mohammed Siraj. He was due at the function and played a vital role in our T20 campaign. So, I'm proudly presenting him a very special ring," said Rohit.
The Indian pacer had a big, beaming smile as he wore the ring and posed with it for the cameras. @mdsirajofficial receives a special ring from #TeamIndia Captain @ImRo45 for his impactful contributions in the team's victorious ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign @Dream11 pic.twitter.com/dHSnS4mwu1— BCCI (@BCCI) May 5, 2025advertisementSiraj and Rohit in top form during IPL 2025Siraj and Rohit have been in top form for their respective sides this season.

Rishabh Pant torments Kent neighborhood, smacks sixes into balconies, lawns and windows
Rishabh Pant looks like he is in good batting form, and showcased it to perfect during a recent training session at the Kent County Ground. India are set to face England in a five-match Test series starting on June 20. During the session, Pant showcased his shot selection with massive sixes, which not only cleared the boundary ropes, but also crashed into rooftops, balconies and front yards of nearby government buildings. Speaking to the media, a nearby resident said, 'This is the kind of tale you usually hear in Indian mohallas, kids breaking windows with tennis ball sixes. Only difference is, this time it's not kids. It's Rishabh Pant.' In one incident, a ball was seen hanging from a balcony shade. Due to local protocal, Indian support staff can't casually step into premises to retrieve the balls. Special permission was required and a turbaned official reportedly sought access befere going to retrieve the ball from quarters. Pant is also the new Indian Test vice-captain, with Shubman Gill appointed as skipper. The upcoming series will see a new generation take over, with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin having already announced their Test retirements. Speaking on Pant's appointment, chief selector Ajit Agarkar said, 'Pant is one of our best batters in Test cricket over the last four-five years. A wicketkeeper can see the game well and that's why he is Shubman's deputy.' Pant had a disappointing IPL 2025 season, where he captained LSG, leading them to a measly seventh-placed finish. Giving his verdict on LSG's season, he recently said, 'Eventually, you have to play 40 overs of good cricket, 20 overs will definitely not save you in a T20 game, and that's been our story.' 'There were lot of injury concerns before the tournament, you can see that that is something that hurt us going through the season,' he added.
