English crowd wave sandpapers at David Warner after his dismissal

RCB have bought the all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer for Rs 7 crore in the IPL mini auction for the upcoming season. Last season, he played for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).after being bought for a massive Rs 23.75 Crore bid in the 2025 season.

Following India's historic triumph in the T20 World Cup 2026, skipper Suryakumar Yadav credited the famous catch of South African batsman David Miller in the 2024 T20 World Cup for changing his fortunes.

Comparing his team to David, the biblical underdog who defeated the giant Goliath, he highlighted that his team is often underestimated and not expected to perform well, but they consistently prove themselves, often surpassing expectations.

Australia, struggling with injuries leading upto the tournament, with pacers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood missing out due to injuries, and Tim David and Glenn Maxwell having injury scares leading upto the tournament, crashed out in the first round of the competition following humiliating losses to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. While they defeated Ireland in their campaign opener and absolutely dismantled Oman in their final group stage match, the Aussies were far from their dominant selves. Once again questioned were raised over the team's T20I future and if they took the format seriously at all, having won only one T20WC back in 2021.

South Africa and New Zealand, two excellent white-ball sides who are yet to win a World Cup event, be it the 20-over or the 50-over, will get a chance to play India or England in the title clash for their first-ever ICC T20 World Cup crown. For the 2024 runners-up,, South Africa, Miller will be the key, with an exceptional record in ICC tournament knockout matches. Miller will be aiming to make up for being caught by Suryakumar Yadav at long-off during the 2024 T20WC final at Barbados by firing a couple more times to guide his side to the T20I crown.
