Simona Halep bags WTA Fan Favourite for second straight season

Gambhir said that while "the media wants to create superstars, his job is to create a super team". He also said that he does not care about the broadcasting/social media numbers, TRPs and fan following but focuses on what players bring to the team and country.

After successfully hosting major international events such as the ATP Tour 250, WTA 125, and PMR Challenger tournaments for the past five consecutive years, the Directorate of Sports and Youth Services, Government of Maharashtra, along with the ATP Organising Committee, has decided to expand tennis development directly to the district level in collaboration with the Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA).

Mongia was vocal about his support for his favourite player, Hardik Pandya and said, "I have always said that Hardik Pandya is my favourite player. He is a fantastic all-rounder. So, I hope that if he gets the chance to bat, he will shine bright."

Up until the 2026 fixture, Rohit Sharma had featured in every single India-Pakistan contest at the T20 World Cup. From a young player in 2007 to eventually captaining India to two famous victories against their arch-rivals in 2022 and 2024, the former opener has enjoyed a storied run in this iconic rivalry.

In the match, West Indies posted 195/4 after opting to bat, powered by contributions from Roston Chase (40), Hope (32), Shimron Hetmyer (27), and an unbeaten 76-run partnership between Jason Holder (37*) and Rovman Powell (34*). India's bowlers were led by Jasprit Bumrah, who returned figures of 2/36.
