IND vs ENG: For Shubman Gill the captain to thrive, the batter must fire
India captain Shubman Gill during a nets session at Headingley. (Photo by) in Leeds: "Kinni der? (how long)", asked Arshdeep Singh when he stood on top of his run-up to bowl to Shubman Gill in the nets. The Indian skipper was expectedly not done yet and said, "jad tak tu paa denga (for as long as you can bowl)". The left-armer was happy to bowl more but just asked for a break of 4-5 minutes before hitting full tilt again. Another marathon Gill session was underway, and batting coach Sitanshu Kotak had to summon the throwdown experts Daya and Nuwan, who were cooling their heels after feeding balls to Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul. "Naya ball se daalna Daya bhai (bowl with the new ball)," came the immediate instruction from the right-hander who faced a mix of quicks, finger spin, wrist spin and throwdowns for close to an hour in the nets.

They even remembered their age-group teammate Ikjot Singh Thind when a net bowler's delivery came back sharply to surprise Gill. "Ikjot di tara paa reya hai (he is bowling like Ikjot)," Arshdeep told Gill, and the action continued. For that duration at Headingley Cricket Ground on June 19, it was just Gill and what he loves to do the most - bat for hours in the nets. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo The build-up and the chatter have revolved around his captaincy, but this is a very crucial series as far as Gill, the Test batter, is concerned. After an under-par series in Australia, the youngster would like to have a good series and make crucial contributions for the side at a new number. The No. 4. After starting out as an opener and then himself asking for No. 3, Gill decided to move one number down after Virat Kohli announced his retirement from the format. "After Virat bhai retired, me and GG bhai had a discussion about it and we were both clear that he wanted me to be at number four and I was also clear that I also wanted to be at that number," said Gill during the pre-match presser. Poll Do you believe that Shubman Gill can lead India to victory as a captain in this series? Yes No Most of the questions revolved around captaincy, start of the new era in Indian cricket, the youngsters, the inexperience and Gill handled it with a lot of maturity and clarity. When asked about what he would pick between winning a five-Test series or the IPL, the former was his quick pick. He remained measured in his responses and asserted how the focus will remain on picking 20 wickets, even if it comes at the cost of extending the tail. "I think in Test matches, if you want to win a Test match, you can't win a Test match without taking 20 wickets no matter how many times you score. So that has been one of our key discussion points, you know, how are we going to take 20 wickets and there might be a case where we would only be going with six broad batters and we would see a bowling all-rounder and three to four fast bowlers or the proper bowlers," explained Gill. 'Wait until August to see what kind of style it's going to be': Shubman Gill ahead of Headingley Test When the captain's commitments were done and he had a look at the playing surface with coach Gautam Gambhir , Gill returned to usual business when he padded up. The batter Gill took centrestage, and it's something he wants to do everytime he walks out to bat in whites. "When I want to go out there and bat, I just want to play as a batsman and not really want to think that I'm the captain of the game because I think that sometimes puts too much pressure on me. Whenever I'm going out there, I want to play as a batsman and want to dominate the opposition and be the best batsman in the series. And that's what I'm trying to look at," said Gill. If Gill -- the batter -- clicks, life will be much easier for Gill -- the captain -- this summer. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here

While the world watches their romance, Taylor Swift chooses purpose and privacy over publicity While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship has captured the fascination of millions since it began in 2023, the two are intentionally avoiding the spotlight.

Jordon Hudson throws subtle shade at Bill Belichick's ex Linda Holliday during emotional tribute to pageant friend
Jordon Hudson's tribute goes viral after fans notice a veiled dig at Linda Holliday (Getty Images) Jordon Hudson is making headlines again—and this time, it's not just for her relationship with NFL coaching legend Bill Belichick. The 24-year-old Miss Maine USA contender penned a heartfelt Instagram tribute to her close friend and fellow pageant queen Melissa Sapini, but buried within the touching words was a not-so-subtle jab at Belichick's longtime ex, Linda Holliday. Jordon Hudson's tribute to friend doubles as not-so-subtle jab at Linda Holliday Jordon Hudson's post praised Sapini for her strength and growth, writing, 'I know you will keep shining, metamorphosing and taking up space; even when others threaten you and insist that you don't belong, e.g. the 'Nantucket Socialites'…' The pointed reference appeared to allude to a tense confrontation that unfolded at a holiday party in Nantucket last December—an event that continues to spark friction between Hudson and Holliday. The now-infamous Dreamland Christmas party saw Sapini and Hudson approached by Holliday, who had been in a 16-year relationship with Belichick before their split in 2023. According to an incident report obtained by TMZ, Holliday voiced her disapproval of Hudson's presence, claiming it was 'inappropriate,' particularly because her daughters were headlining the event as DJs. When confronted by a staffer, Hudson stood her ground, asserting that she had 'done nothing wrong.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo However, things reportedly escalated when Holliday allegedly warned Sapini to reconsider her friendships. 'If Ms. Sapini valued her current title, she should think twice about who her friends are,' the report stated, adding that Holliday also mentioned having 'many powerful friends in the pageant organization. ' The pressure brought Sapini to tears. Despite the drama, Sapini has continued to carry herself with poise. She recently wrapped up her reign as Miss Massachusetts USA and posted an emotional thank-you to her supporters on Instagram: 'This journey wasn't about being flawless it was about being fearless… thank you for fueling my light and believing in my voice.' Hudson, who met Belichick on a flight in 2021, has since become part of his new chapter in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where he's taking on a fresh coaching role. Sapini has also visited Hudson there, hinting at a continued bond between the two women. M eanwhile, Hudson's relationship with Belichick has been under intense scrutiny in recent months. From the controversial CBS interview in April to eyebrow-raising podcast revelations, the couple has faced plenty of public speculation. Belichick, however, appears unfazed. 'Is there noise out there? We've always dealt with that,' he told reporters, emphasizing his focus on coaching and player development. Still, Hudson's latest post marks the first time she's publicly acknowledged the December drama—and her choice of words made it clear that the wounds from that night haven't completely healed. While Sapini chose to stay silent on the feud in her reply, the message from Hudson was loud enough on its own.

George Kittle breaks silence on backlash surrounding Brock Purdy's mega 49ers deal
George Kittle backs Brock Purdy's extension (Image via Getty) San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has slammed critics questioning Brock Purdy's massive $265 million extension. The quarterback's record-setting contract triggered debate online, with many doubting if he's truly earned the money. But Kittle made it clear, Purdy's results speak louder than the noise. His defense came during a recent segment on the Rich Eisen Show. Brock Purdy's postseason record speaks volumes Brock Purdy, just 25, has already led the 49ers to two consecutive NFC Championship appearances. In 2024, he steered San Francisco to the Super Bowl, falling just short against Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs. Kittle said such deep postseason runs should silence any questions about Purdy's legitimacy. Despite being picked last in the 2022 draft, he's become a franchise cornerstone. "I would say, I don't know what his winning percentage is, but when you win a lot of games and then two years you go to the NFC Championship or better, I think that's decent," Kittle said. "One of my favorite things about Purdy is that everyone calls him the checkdown merchant, and then the last two years he's had the least amount of checkdowns in the NFL as a starting quarterback. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo So I think he's doing pretty well." Data backs Kittle's defense of Purdy The 'checkdown merchant' tag doesn't hold up when you look at actual data from the last two seasons. Purdy led the NFL in yards per attempt (9.6) and had the highest passer rating (113.0) in 2023. He also had the fewest checkdowns of any starting quarterback over that span. Critics may not like it—but the numbers back Kittle's defense. Inside the 49ers facility, Purdy's voice is reportedly louder, his presence more commanding. Sources say he's stepped up during team meetings and huddles since signing the extension. Kittle even noted that the young QB has begun calling things out mid-practice. That leadership jump is just as crucial as his stats. Also read: George Kittle slams critics as Deebo Samuel's weight sparks backlash over 'lazy' minicamp footage While social media continues to question the contract, the 49ers aren't looking back. Kittle's unwavering support reflects what the locker room already believes, Purdy is built for this. He's not just a system QB or late-round fluke—he's proving he can lead and finish. With the talent, team, and now the paycheck, the spotlight is officially his.
