La Liga 2025/26 live streaming: When does the Spanish league season begin? When and where to watch in India?
La Liga kicks off on Friday with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid leading the list of title contenders. Defending champions Barcelona will look to retain their crown, while both Madrid clubs aim to reclaim the trophy and pave the way for an exiting season ahead.
The build-up has been eventful, with Barcelona facing ongoing financial hurdles over player registrations. That being said, the Blaugrana will look to assert their dominance yet again through a young and electric side. The attacking line of Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha has further been bolstered by the arrival of Marcus Rashford from Manchester United on loan. Marc-Andre ter Stegen is out with a long-term injury, enabling the registration of Joan Garcia.

Real Madrid are starting a new chapter under coach Xabi Alonso, with Trent Alexander-Arnold joining the ranks of an already stacked side. The likes of Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr give the Los Blancos an equally significant shot at the title.
Atletico Madrid too have made moves over the summer that propel their attack in search of a stronger title charge. Alex Baena, Giacomo Raspadori and Thiago Almada are just three of the ten players they've brought in over the summer.

Shubman Gill or Yashasvi Jaiswal for spot in Asia Cup squad? Ex-India player makes his argument
Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra feels has a stronger case than for a spot in India's squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, highlighting that the left-hander's game is better aligned with the demands of T20 cricket. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel is expected to meet on August 19 to finalise the squad for the tournament, scheduled from September 9 to 28 in the UAE. With Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson having established themselves as the preferred opening combination, the selectors face a tough call on whether to add another opener, and if so, who that should be. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! EXCLUSIVE | Harbhajan Singh on Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, India vs Pakistan and more Chopra argued that Jaiswal's style suits India's T20 template. 'As per T20 figures, Yashasvi is little ahead of Shubman. The way he plays T20 and the DNA of the team, he also marries that style,' he said on his YouTube channel on Saturday. He also pointed out the challenge of accommodating Gill without disrupting the balance of the playing XI. 'Sometimes it also happens that if you pick Shubman as the third opener, who is your Test captain, the ODI vice-captain, now you have him on the bench in T20Is, that will not look very nice. So the selectors will be thinking that if we are going to select Shubman, then we will have to give him a place in the eleven. Though picking Shubman is tempting, but I feel Yashasvi should be slightly ahead in this race. ' With India's top order looking settled, Chopra questioned how either Gill or Jaiswal could fit in without shaking the line-up. 'But if that third opener is Shubman, do you want him to sit on the bench? If you don't make him sit and play in the eleven, who will he come in for? If that player's name is Sanju Samson, who will keep wickets?' Poll Is Yashasvi Jaiswal's aggressive style more suited for T20 cricket compared to Shubman Gill? Yes No He further explained why Samson's role complicated matters. 'That is the problem because we don't see Sanju Samson playing in the middle order. You would want him at the top. Tilak and Surya will play at number three and four. So, Sanju at fifth? That won't be a good story,' Chopra added.

Chris Wood Overtakes Ravichandran Ashwin, Enters Elite T20-Wicket Takers List
England pacer Chris Wood has entered elite company in T20 cricket by surpassing Ravichandran Ashwin's tally of wickets in a single country. With this feat, he now stands alongside Jaydev Unadkat, becoming one of the select few bowlers to dominate conditions in their home circuit. Wood's consistency and ability to strike across different stages of the innings underline his value as a specialist in the format. The achievement also places him among the top 11 bowlers globally for most wickets taken in one country, making him only the fourth Englishman to appear on this prestigious list. The Hundred: Phoenix Suffer Defeat Despite Wood's Contribution Wood's milestone came during a The Hundred clash where his team, Birmingham Phoenix, faced the Northern Superchargers. Despite picking up two wickets, his efforts weren't enough to prevent Phoenix from falling short. Men's match: Northern Superchargers posted a dominant total, powered by strong batting from Dawid Malan, Zak Crawley, and Harry Brook. With the ball, Adil Rashid and Matthew Potts dismantled the Phoenix chase, sealing a 36-run victory for the Superchargers. Women's match: The Superchargers women also enjoyed success, chasing down Phoenix with ease. Phoebe Litchfield's unbeaten 59 off 28 balls ensured an emphatic 8-wicket win. Also Read: La Liga 2025-26: Live Streaming In India, TV Details, And Opening Match Preview Why the Record Matters T20 cricket is often unforgiving for bowlers, making such achievements rare and highly regarded.

His feat also strengthens England's representation in the global leaderboard, showcasing the depth of bowling talent in the country. Looking Ahead For Birmingham Phoenix, the defeat was a setback, but Wood's success adds a silver lining to their campaign. As the tournament progresses, Phoenix will look to bounce back while Wood continues climbing the charts in T20 cricket's record books.
