Touring England will be a new experience, will try to win a trophy there, says Suryavanshi
New Delhi: Left-handed batting prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who won the Super-striker of the Season award in IPL 2025, said he is excited about taking learnings from touring England for the first time as a member of India U19 team. He added that he will try his best to win another trophy in England.
India's U19 tour of England will happen from June 24 to July 23, and comprises a 50-over warm-up match, a five-match Youth One-Day series and two Multi-Day matches.
'It's a new tournament and a new game. I am going to the UK for the first time. It will be a new experience for me. I will get to know about the game and the grounds there. Our captain, Ayush Matre, has played for CSK this time. The preparation is going very well. I will get a good experience of playing in England. We will try to win a trophy from there as well,' said Suryavanshi in a video posted on iplt20.com.
Suryavanshi began his IPL life with a first-ball six, and went on to score 252 runs at a mind-boggling strike rate of 206.55. But it was his whirlwind 101 in 35 balls against Gujarat Titans (GT), the second-fastest century in IPL history, which left everyone astonished.
'Playing in the IPL is like a dream for everyone. It was my first season and I got a lot of positive things from it. I got to learn a lot about what I can do for the team in the next season. So, I will work on the areas where I made mistakes in the past, and I will try to do better for the team in the next season.
'I have learnt that I have to do two times better than what I have done in the past, so that my team can play in the finals next year. I will focus on how much I can contribute to making it happen for my team in the next season,' concluded Suryavanshi.

RCB's senior official Nikhil Sosale granted interim bale by Karnataka High Court
New Delhi [India], June 13 (ANI): Royal Challengers Bengaluru's senior official, Nikhil Sosale, who was arrested over the June 4 stampede during the team's maiden IPL title triumph celebrations, has been granted interim bail by the Karnataka High Court, according to ESPNcricinfo. More than a week after the incident, Sosale and two officials from DNA Networks, the event management company associated with RCB, were released on specific conditions, the most notable of which was the surrender of their passports, according to ESPNcricinfo. ESPNCricinfo also reported that Sosale and all RCB officials who are part of the management team are likely to undergo an internal investigation by the parent company, Diageo. The incident occurred when thousands of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of their favourite players. Eleven people lost their lives and several were injured in a stampede outside Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy stadium as a huge crowd of nearly 3 lakh people had gathered to witness the victory celebration of RCB. The Karnataka Police had filed an FIR against the Karnataka Cricket Board Administrative Committee, RCB, among others, concerning the stampede incident. Last Saturday, two top Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) officials, secretary A. Shankar and treasurer ES Jairam, resigned, citing 'moral responsibility.' KSCA President Raghuram Bhat confirmed the development, saying that the resignations were discussed and accepted during an emergency meeting. He assured that the cricket body will cooperate with the investigation. 'When the inquiry takes place, we have already told the government and the High Court that we will never shy away from anything that is there. We are ready to cooperate with the investigation,' Bhat told reporters. The Bengaluru Police also filed the first information report (FIR) against the popular IPL franchise last Thursday, as per ESPNCricinfo. The police have said that RCB was not given permission to conduct the event at the stadium. RCB has been listed as the first accused in the FIR, along with DNA Entertainment, the franchise's event partners, and the KSCA, which controls the stadium. RCB expressed 'heartfelt condolences' to the families of the deceased in a statement, and since then has resorted to silence over the matter. (ANI)

"The time is perfect for a shooting revolution": World record holder Sift Kaur Samra backs SLI
New Delhi [India], June 13 (ANI): Indian star athlete Sift Kaur Samra, who bagged a bronze medal on Thursday in the 50m rifle 3 positions women's event at the ongoing ISSF World Cup in Munich, voiced strong support for the upcoming Shooting League of India (SLI), calling it a 'game-changer for the sport in the country.' The 23-year-old from Punjab, who scripted history with a world record score of 469.6 in the women's 50m rifle 3 positions final at the 2022 Asian Games, believes that India's first-ever shooting league will open up new dimensions for shooters, fans, and future talent alike. 'This is the first time something like this is happening in Indian shooting, and I think it's a huge step forward. People still do not know much about shooting as a sport. A league format brings it closer to audiences and gives us shooters a whole new platform to grow--both competitively and personally,' Sift said as quoted from a press release from SLI. While she is no stranger to the international stage--with multiple medals including Asian Games gold and silver, and a previous ISSF World Cup bronze--Sift is especially intrigued by the league's format that will pit India's top shooters against each other in team-based rivalries. 'We are used to competing individually or as national teams internationally. But in the league, we will be playing against each other--possibly alongside international shooters too. That is new, that is exciting, and it will definitely be fun. It is a format where you win or lose in a single shot--there is no safety net of world rankings or qualification points. It is pure sport, and people will love watching that,' she added. Sift also highlighted the league's potential to inspire the next generation of shooters, likening its potential impact to the IPL in cricket and said, 'I have had people call my parents asking how to get into shooting. If a league like this can be seen on TV or social media, it will create a lot of awareness. Just like the IPL brought visibility to cricket's domestic talent, the Shooting League can do the same for us.' She is also looking forward to connecting with both junior shooters and international athletes through the league and added, 'There are juniors I have never interacted with because we are in different categories. This league will bridge that gap. We will learn from each other--and that is how the sport grows.' Reflecting on the cultural impact of a league, she said, 'People see us winning medals at the World Cup or Asian Games or maybe recognise us from an appearance on TV. But they do not really see the sport. A league will change that--it is fast-paced, it is dramatic, and it will show that shooting is more than just a serious Olympic discipline. It is also a lot of fun.' Sift concluded by expressing excitement for the upcoming season, which is scheduled to begin in November this year and said, 'We are all curious--who will be in which team, who will be rivals, how will it be structured? None of us have experienced this before. But one thing is for sure-- the time is perfect for a shooting revolution, and I cannot wait to be part of it.' (ANI)

RJ Mahvash's ‘SisCode' Post On Loyalty Has Yuzvendra Chahal's Attention
Last Updated: RJ Mahvash shared what she expects from her partner in a relationship. RJ Mahvash is back with another relatable video. In her latest clip, she has given her opinion on relationships and loyalty. Her bold take grabbed attention from many, including Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, who is rumoured to be dating Mahvash. In the Instagram video, RJ Mahvash shared what she expects from her partner in a relationship. She explained that she actually wants other girls, especially the most attractive ones to try and flirt with her boyfriend. She added that is how she will know if her man is truly loyal or not.'I don't need him. Because if you can take him that easily, he is for the streets babe," she said. Mahvash made it clear that she has no issue with the other women at all. She said those girls don't matter to her because they are not someone close or important in her life. What really matters is how her own partner behaves in that situation. She further explained that if another woman tries very hard, even going to extreme lengths to get his attention, her partner should be the kind of person who ignores all of that and chooses to stay loyal to her. 'Loyalty is not about a world where there are no temptations but it is about how you manage to respond to it," the radio jockey added. Mahvash also added that women should follow the same principle as well. In her caption, she wrote, 'SisCode → Na dusre ka bande dekhte, na apna dekhne dete. Bachpan se SisCode clear h bhai!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahvash (@ Yuzvendra Chahal reacted to her post by dropping laughing emojis. Rumours about Yuzvendra and Mahvash first began when the two were seen together after reports of Chahal's separation from his ex-wife, Dhanashree Verma. Though Mahvash had earlier denied the rumours, people started speculating about her relationship with Chahal after they were spotted watching a Champions Trophy match together in Dubai. She was also seen cheering for the Punjab Kings bowler during his Indian Premier League (IPL) matches. The two continue to describe their bond as that of 'just friends" but Mahvash recently spoke about Chahal during an interview with Instant Bollywood. She was asked what quality she would most like to take from him. Mahvash replied, 'His niceness and how humble he is. He is genuinely one of the most caring people you'll ever come across. He's always available for the people he loves. I'd definitely steal that part of him." On the work front, Mahvash recently stepped into acting with a web series titled Pyar Paisa Profit. The show is based on Durjoy Datta's popular novel Now That You're Rich… Let's Fall In Love. It is currently streaming on Amazon MX Player and features actors like Pratik Yadav, Mihir Ahuja, Neil Bhoopalam, Nitish Sharma, Shivangi Khedkar and Ashish Raghav. First Published:
