Arrest warrant issued against former India cricketer Robin Uthappa

As the Beyond Reach Premier League (BRPL) continues to position tennis-ball cricket within a structured framework, former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa shared his reflections on how the format shaped his own journey as a batter.

Following their 76-run battering to South Africa, their biggest in T20WC history, defending champions India are left at the mercy of South Africa, needing them to go unbeaten, besides winning their own two remaining clashes against Zimbabwe and the West Indies. In case this scenario does not pan out, net-run-rate will decide India's fortunes in the tournament. But with WI having their NRR in excess of +5 and SA having it in excess of +3, it would not be easy for India to topple either of these net-run-rates, as their net-run-rate lies in the negatives. Proteas not going unbeaten could very well spell the end of their campaign.

South Africa solidified their case for Super Eight, outclassing the Kiwis by seven wickets in a successful chase of 176 runs at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday.

Fiery knocks from Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya and game-changing spells from Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel downed Namibia by 93 runs, strengthening India's case for Super Eights further while pushing a winless Namibia further into an early group stage exit, which looks almost certain.

Following a thumping win over Namibia, the Dutch will be aiming to present their case as genuine Super Eight stage contenders with a win over the USA in Chennai on Friday. On the other hand, the USA, left reeling after losses to defending champions India and Pakistan, would be aiming to get something to cheer for in the form of a win, even if it is, in all likelihood, a consolation one.

Delhi's Rohini court on Friday reserved an order on the bail plea of Olympian wrestler Sushil Kumar. The order is expected by evening today. Sushil Kumar is accused in the Sagar Dhankar murder case of 2021, lodged in Model Town Police Station. His earlier bail was cancelled by the Supreme Court last year.

A Bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant said it was "a fit case to apply the doctrine of proportionality" and clarified that the Court "did not intend to impose a lifelong ban, nor is that warranted."

The Indian U17 women's team defeated Bhutan 8-0 In their last round-robin fixture of the SAFF U19 Women's Championship 2026, at the Pokhara Rangasala Stadium on Wednesday.

With three points from their opening-day victory over Nepal, the Young Tigresses were still in second place after losing 0-2 to Bangladesh on Monday. India must make a variety of combinations and permutations to secure their spot in the final.

With the organisation of the Indian Grand Prix case currently in court, Mansukh Mandaviya has suggested handing the organisation of the Formula One race to an event company until a decision is made. A Japanese company has expressed interest in hosting the event, according to MYAS sources.
