KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel and Jadeja headline India’s lead in ton-fest

KL Rahul notched up his 11th Test century by scoring 100 off 197 balls against West Indies on Day 2 of the series-opening first match in Ahmedabad. Middle-order batters Dhruv Jurel and Ravindra Jadeja also punched out 100s and shared a 206-run partnership together to extend Team India’s lead to a monumental 286 runs by stumps. Dhruv aggregated 125 runs in 210 balls to record his maiden Test century, while Jadeja remained unbeaten until the close of play at 104* as India reached 448-5 in 128 overs.

Tilak Varma whacks starry 94 vs Australia A

Tilak Varma composed 94 fighting runs from 122 balls with five boundaries and four huge sixes in the second unofficial ODI against Australia A in Kanpur. Batting at number three, the cricketer arrived to the crease following the early dismissal of opener Abhishek Sharma for a first-ball duck. Fresh from his Asia Cup 2025 heroics, Tilak Varma counterattacked the Australian A bowlers to steer India A to a competitive 246 in 45.5 overs. Riyan Parag also cracked a speedy half-century to chip in for the hosts.

Jasprit Bumrah becomes Ralph Lauren ambassador

American fashion and lifestyle brand Ralph Lauren has roped in legendary Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah as their Indian brand ambassador for their new range, Polo 67. Starting a new chapter in his career, Bumrah expressed his excitement over this unexpected collaboration, claiming that it is his “honour” to be associated with the brand. The ace Indian paceman is currently at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad as part of the Indian team for the ongoing two-match Test series against the visiting West Indies group.

Abdur Razzak becomes BCB director after Iqbal’s withdrawal

Former Bangladesh cricketer Abdur Razzak has been elected as one of the directors of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), joining the team of prominent singer Asif Akbar and four other individuals. They were elected unopposed after former Bangladesh captain and legendary opening batter Tamim Iqbal among others withdrew their names, thus opting themselves out of the planned BCB elections. The elections were scheduled to be organised on October 6 later this week.

Aged 43, Abdur Razzak played 13 Tests, 153 ODIs and 34 T20I matches for Bangladesh during his playing days between the years 2004 and 2018.

South Africa Women dusted out for just 69 in 20.4 overs by England bowlers in match number four of the 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in Guwahati. South Africa’s dismal batting effort marked their third lowest total ever in Women’s ODI history.
