Sachin Tendulkar on Rishabh Pant's Unconventional Batting Style

Sachin Tendulkar has urged the Indian team management to leave swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant alone, while also explaining the method behind the southpaw's often-debated shot selection. "The sweep shot that he played—he likes to get under the ball to scoop it with some elevation," Tendulkar said during a Reddit interaction.

How and why Rishabh Pant's England tour could come to an abrupt end due to toe fracture

"People think he has fallen, but it's intentional so that he can get under the ball. The secret to playing those shots is being able to get underneath the ball.

Should the Indian team management allow Rishabh Pant to play his natural game without interference?

Yes, he knows best how to play. No, he needs guidance.

"So it's a planned fall; he doesn't lose balance. All of it depends on the length of the ball. "There have been occasions when people felt he didn't need to play that shot, or that it wasn't the right time—but someone like Rishabh should be left alone.

"When he's looking to save a match, though, he has to adopt a different approach—like in the last 15–20 overs of a game. But he's figured out how to approach an innings depending on the match situation," Tendulkar added. Tendulkar had earlier hailed Pant's heroic fifty at Old Trafford, scored while batting with an injured foot on the second day of the fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Pant's courage was on full display when he hobbled out to bat on Day 2 of the Manchester Test, after suffering a blow to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot on the opening day. He received a rousing standing ovation from the Old Trafford crowd as he limped to the crease following Shardul Thakur's dismissal for 41. Despite being in clear discomfort and struggling to complete singles, Pant fought through the pain to score a gritty 54, helping India reach a total of 358 before being dismissed.

Sachin Tendulkar on Rishabh Pant

Tendulkar praised the effort in a post on X: "Resilience is about playing through pain and rising above it. @RishabhPant17 showed tremendous character by walking back into the game with an injury and delivering a performance like that. His fifty is a powerful reminder of the grit and determination it takes to represent your country. A brave effort, and one that will be remembered for a long time. Well played, Rishabh."

Allegations of Fraudulent Surrogacy Practices Surface at Hyderabad Fertility Clinic

HYDERABAD: Gopalapuram police have registered five new cases against the head of Srushti Fertility Clinic Dr Athaluri Namratha alias Pachipala Namratha, and others based on complaints lodged by five sets of victims. While in one case a couple alleged that the doctor handed them a baby whose DNA did not match theirs, three other couples accused the clinic of adopting dubious methods. They claimed that they had already paid the money â anywhere from Rs 12.5 lakh to Rs 19 lakh â and even deposited their biological samples when they grew suspicious about the operations of Dr Namratha and her clinic. The frauds occurred between 2019 and 2025. Cops are yet to ascertain details of the fifth case.

Shubman Gill's Landmark England Series: Complete List of Records and Milestones

NEW DELHI: Indian skipper Shubman Gill's batting reached a new level during India's hard-fought 2-2 series draw in England. The elegant right-hander from Punjab not only delivered with the bat but also impressed with his tactical acumen, guiding a young team in transition—without stalwarts Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin, who retired from Tests following a disastrous Border-Gavaskar Trophy campaign in Australia. Gill entered the series under immense scrutiny, having not crossed 40 outside Asia since his iconic 91 at Brisbane in 2021. Often touted as Virat Kohli's 'heir apparent,' Gill needed to prove himself. A few technical tweaks and a calmer mindset helped him find the focus and discipline required to carve his name into Test cricket's history books.

Test-by-Test breakdown of Shubman Gill's historic series: 1st Test – Leeds (147 & 8): Gill's first century outside Asia was a statement of redemption. It was a reminder to his critics and perhaps a reassurance to himself that he belonged at the highest level of Test cricket. He became only the fourth Indian—after Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar, and Virat Kohli—to score a century in his debut innings as Test captain. He also crossed 2,000 Test runs, echoing Kohli's milestone in Adelaide (2014). 2nd Test – Edgbaston (269 & 161): If Leeds was redemption, Edgbaston was domination. Gill scored a majestic 269, laced with 30 fours and 3 sixes, followed by a blistering 161 off 162 balls in the second innings. His marathon effort powered India to their first-ever Test win at Birmingham—by a record 336 runs. He became:
