Top 3 Captain choices

Sai Sudharsan: In-form Sai Sudharsan started the IPL 2025 season strongly by scoring 74 and 63 runs in their first two matches against Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians. 

Krunal Pandya: All-rounder Krunal Pandya is a key name for RCB in the IPL 2025.

Rajat Patidar: RCB captain Rajat Patidar is in outstanding form with the bat. After scoring a stormy 34 off 16 balls in the tournament opener against the hosts Kolkata Knight Riders, Patidar scored a valuable, heroic 51 off 32 balls against the hosts Chennai Super Kings. 

Top 3 Vice-captain choices

Virat Kohli: The leading IPL run-scorer Virat Kohli is set to return to his favourite venue, M Chinnaswamy Stadium (Bengaluru). His fans are waiting for a great start for Kohli in Bengaluru in this IPL season, while he scored 59 not out and 31 runs in the first two matches of the IPL 2025. 

Phil Salt: English cricketer Phil Salt provided two strong starts for RCB with his opening partner Virat Kohli. After scoring 56 runs in the first game of the IPL 2025 with a strike rate of 180.64, Salt scored 32 runs with a 200 strike rate in the next fixture.  

Shubman Gill: Gujarat Titans captain and opener Shubman Gill started the IPL 2025 with the knocks of 33 and 38 runs, but he can play stronger in Bengaluru. 

During the ninth match of the IPL 2025, while Gujarat Titans claimed a 36-run win against Mumbai Indians, their captain Shubman Gill created history in the tournament, which is very special as an Indian.

Shubman Gill is the leading run-scorer for Gujarat Titans with 1870 runs in 47 innings with an average of 44.52 and a strike rate of 148.53, including four centuries and 10 half-centuries.

Shubman Gill recorded the fastest 1000 IPL runs at a single venue as an Indian

While Gill became the 17th cricketer to score 1000 IPL runs at a single venue, he recorded the second-fastest 1000 IPL runs at a single venue. Gill took only 20 innings to complete 1000 IPL runs at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Only the legendary Caribbean cricketer Chris Gayle has a better record than Gill in this list, as the left-handed top-order batter completed 1000 IPL runs at M Chinnaswamy Stadium (Bengaluru) in just 19 innings.

Shubman Gill and Avneet Kaur Caught in Dating Rumors. The web is abuzz as gossip mounts over a potential relationship between the cricket sensation and the actress.

Social Media Hype Over Their Rumored Relationship

Indian cricketer Shubman Gill and Avneet Kaur, an actress, are trending on social media after reports of their rumored relationship emerged. The fans want to know whether there is something more between them, but none of them has confirmed or refuted the news.

The speculations gathered steam after Avneet was seen watching India's ICC Champions Trophy matches in Dubai. She shared a few photos and videos on social media, supporting Team India. Her social media posts during the semi-final against Australia and the final against New Zealand soon attracted fans' attention, with many wondering whether she had gone there to support Shubman Gill.

Avneet's Posts Add Fuel to the Fire

Avneet posted a photograph from the stadium, captioning it, "Indiaaa Indiaaa. Are you watching the match". It got a huge amount of comments from fans who were guessing her relationship with the young cricketer.

She posted a Boomerang from the match when India required 44 runs off 39 balls, depicting her excitement at the thrilling moments.

Following India's exciting four-wicket victory against New Zealand, Avneet posted a clip of Rohit Sharma and the team celebrating on the field. She responded to the win using crying emojis to show her emotions without words.

Are They Dating

Despite the increasing buzz, neither Shubman Gill nor Avneet Kaur has publicly commented about their relationship. While there are fans who are sure that they are simply very good friends, others are certain there is more between them.

Shubman has previously been rumored with celebrities, and Avneet, having a huge fan base on social media, still remains in the spotlight.

In the meantime, these are merely rumors, but enthusiasts can't help but wait and see if the two will confirm or deny the rumors. Whether it is friendship or the start of something new, time will only tell.

Less than 24 hours away to begin the much-awaited ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final, where India and New Zealand will face each other at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the United Arab Emirates. While Indian cricket fans are excited to experience another big final with the hope of India's success, there is speculation of skipper Rohit Sharma's retirement after the tournament Final.

The 37-year-old Indian opening batter Rohit Sharma majorly plays aggressive roles as an opening batter, especially in the white-ball format. After a successful journey in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 last June, where India beat South Africa in the Final to win the title for the second time, captain Rohit Sharma announced his T20I retirement along with Virat Kohli. 

There are some speculations that we can experience a similar story during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final, which means that skipper Rohit Sharma can hang up his ODI jersey after the tournament Final. However, there are no official comments or stories about it.

Opener Rohit Sharma is struggling to perform with the bat

After the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, India will aim to build up a team for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027, which South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia will host late 2027. It means that Rohit will be more than 40 years old at that time, which sets some uncertainty about Rohit's presence, especially when the tournament is more than two years away. Although captain Rohit is a good fielder, the right-handed batter is struggling to perform regularly with the bat. 

After recording one stormy century along with two single-digit scores against England in the three-match home ODI series early February, opening batter Rohit's scores in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 are 41, 20, 15, and 28. While Rohit is hugely struggling in red ball cricket, it is likely affecting his white-ball game too. So, there is a big speculation of Rohit's retirement from the ODI format after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final.

No discussion in the dressing room: Shubman Gill on Rohit Sharma's retirement speculation

However, the ODI vice-captain Shubman Gill has clarified that there is no discussion in the dressing room on any possible retirement from Rohit Sharma. He also added that he didn't feel the skipper was even thinking anything other than the upcoming Final.   

In the pre-match press conference, Gill stated, "No discussion in the dressing room or with me - even Rohit bhai would be thinking about Champions Trophy final, like all of us. So nothing like that now."

While India and New Zealand both have booked their places for the Semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, their Group A meeting on Sunday (March 2) will mostly be a formality fixture, except for securing their final places in the group stage. Team India is likely to face New Zealand under the new captaincy as Rohit Sharma is likely to take a rest for the game.

While Pakistan is hosting the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, India are playing all their matches of the tournament at Dubai International Cricket Stadium (Dubai) in the United Arab Emirates. India won both their first two matches by six wickets against Bangladesh and Pakistan. On the other hand, New Zealand started the tournament with a 60-run win against the hosts and defending champions Pakistan and later beat Bangladesh by five wickets. 

On Sunday, India will face New Zealand in Dubai in the last game of Group A as well as the group stage in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Their result will complete the story of who will face which Group B teams in the Semi-finals of the tournament.

Rohit Sharma likely to miss against New Zealand; Shubman Gill likely to make ODI captaincy debut

Indian captain Rohit Sharma is likely to take a rest from the last Group A match against New Zealand. So, the vice-captain Shubman Gill, who is in outstanding form with the bat, will take the leadership responsibility of the match. Gill has experienced only five T20I captaincies for the nation during the India tour of Zimbabwe 2024, and India won that series by 4-1.

During India's last game against Pakistan, Indian captain Rohit Sharma had a hamstring injury. While he reportedly hasn't batted in recent net practices, he didn't even participate in the throwdown, and the team management has no plan to take any risk on the skipper before the Semi-final. 

Mohammed Shami likely to take rest

Also, the right-arm fast bowler Mohammed Shami is likely to take a rest against New Zealand. During the match against Pakistan, he seemed uncomfortable in the early overs; however, later he was in better rhythm with the ball in hand. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh is likely to replace Shami.

Meanwhile, the wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is likely to replace the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma. So, KL Rahul and Pant both can feature against New Zealand, where Pant can keep the wickets. Rahul is likely to open with the stand-in skipper Gill during their last Group A match.

India, the two-time winners of the ICC Champions Trophy, started their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 journey with a comfortable six-wicket win against Bangladesh in the Group A match at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday (February 20).

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto chose to bat first after winning the toss. Bangladesh showed incredible fighting spirits by scoring 228 all out from 35/5, but India comfortably chased down the target in 46.3 overs after losing four wickets. While the right-arm fast bowler Mohammed Shami took a fifer, Shubman Gill scored the valuable unbeaten century.

Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali set up a memorable comeback from 35/5

India took two wickets in the first two overs of the match as Shami dismissed Soumya Sarkar (0) in the first over, and Harshit Rana took the wicket of the skipper Shanto (0) in the next over. Shami then dismissed Mehidy Hasan Miraz (5) in the seventh over as Shubman Gill grabbed a superb catch at the slip. On his first three balls of the match, Axar Patel took back-to-back wickets of opener Tanzid Hasan (25) and Mushfiqur Rahim (0), but the left-arm spinner just missed out on a deserving ODI hat-trick as Rohit Sharma dropped Jake Ali at slip.  

Later, Hardik Pandya also dropped Towhid Hridoy at mid-off, and both Hridoy and Ali set up a great partnership to bring Bangladesh back into the game. From the tough situation, they built up a 154-run partnership for the sixth wicket, which was also Bangladesh's highest ODI partnership for any wicket against India. 

Ultimately, Mohammed Shami broke that partnership by dismissing Ali for 68 runs (114 balls; four fours) in the 43rd over. Rishad Hossain (18 off 12 balls) had a little cameo before Harshit Rana took his wicket. Without any further partners' help, Hridoy desperately fought hard to guide Bangladesh to a challenging first innings total. Even though he was struggling with cramps, he refused to leave the field till the end. He ultimately scored his first ODI century and scored 100 off 118 balls (six fours and two sixes) at his dismissal, as Rana took his wicket to end the innings. Earlier, Shami completed his fifer by taking the wickets of Tanzim Hasan Sakib (0) and Taskin Ahmed (3).

Shami ended with the bowling figures of 10-0-53-5. Also, Harshit Rana (3/31) picked up three wickets and Axar Patel (2/43) got two wickets. 

Indian openers provided a strong start before facing tough questions

Chasing down the target, India had a good start as the openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill maintained their natural tempo. Before the Indian skipper Rohit was dismissed for 41 off 36 balls with seven fours in 9.5 overs, the openers had a 69-run partnership. However, after the first powerplay, the pitch became tougher for the batters, especially against the spinners and slower deliveries. 

After getting a cautious start, Virat Kohli lost his wicket to Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain for 22 runs. Shreyas Iyer (15) and Axar Patel (8) fell cheaply, and the chasing status moved to the tense moment. While Gill was batting calmly, the other batters, especially new batters, were struggling to control the innings. KL Rahul also had a slow start, and he got big luck as Jaker Ali dropped him at deep square leg, and Rahul utilised that luck without any further hiccup. 

Shubman Gill and KL Rahul finished the game comfortably

Slowly but steadily, Gill and Rahul guided India to a comfortable win with their solid unbroken fifth-wicket partnership of 87 runs. Rahul was not out for 41 off 47 balls with one four and two sixes, and the Player of the Match Gill scored 101 not out off 129 balls with nine fours and two sixes. It was Gill's eighth but one of the memorable ODI centuries. With this century, Gill also recorded four consecutive 50+ scores in ODI and two successive ODI centuries. 

Among the Bangladesh bowlers, Rishad Hossain (2/38) was excellent along with wicketless Mehidy Hasan Miraz (0/37), while Taskin Ahmed (1/36) and Mustafizur Rahman (1/62) bagged one wicket each. They surely missed one more spinner in the squad, which could make the game more interesting. 

Indian ODI vice-captain Shubman Gill took one of the unforgettable catches in the Cuttack ODI to take a crucial wicket of the set batter Harry Brook.

After the English captain Jos Buttler chose to bat first in the Cuttack ODI, openers Phil Salt and Ben Duckett provided a strong start with an 81-run partnership for the first wicket. While Salt scored 26 runs, Duckett scored 65 off 56 balls after hitting ten fours. 

Joe Root and Harry Brook handled the post-powerplay situation very well as they had a crucial 66-run partnership off 85 balls for the third wicket. While Root was in full control of time progress, Brook was trying hard to find his form by putting his disappointing performances this tour behind him.

With the help of three fours and one six, Brook scored 31 off 51 balls before he was dismissed. The right-arm fast bowler Harshit Rana just returned to a new spell in his previous over, and the skipper Rohit Sharma’s plan proved successful in Rana’s next over. 

It was an off-cutter from Rana, which he set up for Brook. The English batter fell into that as his mistiming shot created a chance. It was a very tough chance for Shubman Gill as he was running back to grab that. Gill never lost his sight as he always kept his eye on the flying ball from mid-off and successfully grabbed that brilliant catch.

Hosts India recorded a comfortable victory to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against England in Nagpur.

England captain Jos Buttler chose to bat first after winning the toss. Despite a firing start, England were all out for 248 runs in 47.4 overs. In reply, India chased down the target in 38.4 overs after losing six wickets. 

Salt and Duckett set a strong start before the Indian bowlers' dominance

English opener Phil Salt and Ben Duckett put in a 75-run partnership for the first wicket in nine overs before a poor mix-up cost fine-form Salt’s wicket in a run out. Salt was dismissed for 43 off 26 balls (five fours and three sixes), while he hit 26 runs in an over to the ODI debutant Harshit Rana.

In the next over of Salt's run out, which was the last over of the first powerplay in the innings, Rana made a great comeback with two important wickets as Duckett (32 off 29 balls; six fours) and Harry Brook (0) were dismissed after Yashasvi Jaiswal and wicketkeeper KL Rahul took superb catches, respectively. 

Joe Root returned to the format after more than a year, but Ravindra Jadeja dismissed him for 19 runs, as England were struggling at 111/4.

Captain Jos Buttler and Jacob Bethell provided some solid knocks, but those didn’t hurt the hosts. Bethell started very slow, while Buttler scored 52 off 67 balls (four fours) before he threw his wicket surprisingly against Axar Patel’s half-tracker, which found his top edge. 

Meanwhile, Bethell scored 51 off 64 balls (three fours and one six), but Jadeja dismissed him before he became dangerous in the slog overs. Jofra Archer (21 not out off 18 balls) added some crucial runs, but those were far from enough. 

Among the Indian bowlers, debutant fast bowler Harshit Rana (3/53) and left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja (3/26) bagged three wickets each. Also, Mohammed Shami (1/38), Axar Patel (1/38), and Kuldeep Yadav (1/53) were mostly in control with one wicket each, and the wicketless Hardik Pandya (0/37) also impressed with his strong bowling performance.

India were 19/2 by losing both openers early

Indian openers failed in the chase as Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed by Jofra Archer by 15 runs, and the skipper Rohit Sharma was dismissed by Saqib Mahmood by only two runs. 

Shreyas Iyer set a counter-attack, valuable scores from Shubman Gill and Axar Patel

Struggling at 19/2, Shreyas Iyer produced a counterattack to quickly spoil the English bowlers’ party. Vice-captain Shubman Gill and Iyer produced a solid partnership to put control in the game. 

Iyer completed his half-century in 30 balls and scored 59 off 36 balls with the help of nine fours and two sixes before Jacob Bethell dismissed him through an lbw. However, the third-wicket partnership between Gill and Iyer added 94 runs. 

Then, Gill had another strong partnership with Axar Patel for the fourth wicket. Gill scored a 60-ball half-century, while Patel utilised his batting promotion with a 46-ball half-century. 

Patel scored 52 off 47 balls (six fours and one six) before Adil Rashid’s brilliant delivery bowled him. Patel and Gill had a 108-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Gill missed his century but scored valuable 87 runs off 96 balls with the help of nine fours.

Although there was a little hiccup in the Indian innings lately, where India lost three quick wickets, including Patel, KL Rahul (2), and Gill, the hosts comfortably chased the target. 

Among the English bowlers, Adil Rashid (2/49) and Saqib Mahmood (2/47) bagged two wickets each.
