At long last: on the IPL, Royal Challengers Bengaluru's win
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) played the Indian Premier League's (IPL) inaugural game on April 18, 2008. It was a night that, however, belonged to rival Kolkata Knight Riders with Brendon McCullum's unbeaten 158 putting the match well beyond the host in its backyard at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. In the subsequent editions, the franchise with a fiercely loyal fan base, promised much, delivered little and had three runner-up finishes to show. Finally, the ghosts of the past were laid to rest when Rajat Patidar's men claimed the title with a six-run victory over Punjab Kings in the summit clash at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday night. RCB's triumph in the IPL's 18th edition was also a tribute to Virat Kohli's longevity. He has been with the squad since its first game in 2008. In a unit that featured stars such as Rahul Dravid, AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle and Ross Taylor in the past, Kohli has been the forever spine. The young lad has grown into a patriarch, and he has achieved enough and more with the Indian team, both as player and captain, but a missing IPL trophy, always rankled him. Finally that aberration has been corrected and there was no mistaking the relief and joy that coursed through him on a surreal June night. Patidar's assurance, Kohli's experience, spinner Krunal Pandya's choking spells, and Josh Hazlewood's sharp pace, all combined well while many others dished out cameos to keep RCB in the hunt through the latest IPL. Even if the cup proved elusive, Punjab Kings did remarkably well, especially its captain Shreyas Iyer; he will have a larger role with the Indian ODI team whenever Rohit Sharma and Kohli bid adieu to that format. Among the rest, Mumbai Indians, after a lukewarm start, surged back and found a berth in the play-offs, one that also featured Gujarat Titans. If the IPL was all about RCB's redemption song and Punjab Kings' chutzpah, equally, it mirrored the decline of a pedigreed outfit, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), which finished last. An ageing M.S. Dhoni could not stem the rot and former champion CSK will have to rebuild afresh in the coming editions. Having commenced on March 22, the IPL stretched interminably and a break caused by the Pahalgam terror attack and the resultant Operation Sindoor, forced a change in schedule. The IPL also highlighted talented players such as young Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Sai Sudharsan. As a sporting brand, the league is formidable but, as Kohli said, Tests are five levels above in quality and, hopefully, modern players will respect this reality.

Kuldeep Yadav is engaged to childhood friend Vanshika. Who is she?
Kuldeep Yadav is all set to tie the knot soon. The Indian spinner got engaged to his childhood friend Vanshika in an intimate ceremony which was held in Lucknow on Wednesday. The event saw no media presence. For the ring exchange ceremony, Kuldeep opted for a Bandhgala suit in cream colour. His fiance looked gorgeous in an orange lehenga. The ceremony was only attended by close family members and friends, including some cricketers from Uttar Pradesh. Among them was Rinku Singh. Rinku's attendance finally ends rumors of a rift between him and Yadav. It began after their infamous 'slap" incident that occurred between the DC spinner and the KKR batter shortly after their teams faced off at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Meanwhile, several pictures and videos from Kuldeep and Vanshika's engagement ceremony have surfaced online. All of them have gone viral. Hailing from Shyam Nagar in Lucknow, Vanshika is Kuldeep's childhood friend. She reportedly works with the LIC. It seems Vanshika and Kuldeep were close friends for years which later developed into love. Kuldeep's engagement took place right after he wrapped up his IPL duties. This season, he played for Delhi Capitals. Though he took 15 wickets in 14 matches this season, his team still could not qualify for the finale. This time Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bengaluru took home the IPL trophy for the first time, beating Punjab Kings. While IPL is over, Kuldeep will soon head to England, where India is set to play a five-match Test series beginning on June 20. The upcoming series marks the beginning of a new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. It also marks a fresh chapter for Team India, following the retirements of stars like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin. This time Shubman Gill will lead the revamped Indian squad on their tour of England. Kuldeep is yet to reveal his marriage dates. Going by his sudden engagement, he might also opt for a hush-hush wedding, ditching media attention. Congratulatory messages continue to pour in for the soon-to-be bride and groom.
