Sports is a great leveller. It helps build character and courage.

As we celebrate National Sports Day in honour of Major Dhyan Chand, I urge you to take up a sport. You don't need to play professionally to realise the importance and benefits of playing a sport. Pick up any sport…

KLR unavailable for the first two games. Opens up a host of discussion points…does Ishan open? If yes, where will Shubman bat? Or Rohit-Gill-Ishan bat 1-2-3 and then Kohli bats at 4? Or Rohit-Gill open…Kohli at 3 and Ishan at 5? Or Gill gets benched and Tilak/SKY bat at 5?…
