Gill primed to take international stage by storm: Kirsten
Former head coach Gary Kirsten has backed India's new Test captain Shubman Gill to 'take the international stage by storm' in the marquee five-match series against England, starting in Leeds on Friday. Kirsten, who was the mentor of IPL side Gujarat Titans that is led by Gill, feels the 25-year-old has all that it takes to be a good leader. 'I think Shubman is going to be a great leader. He's a smart cricketer -- he's got a good brain for the game and understands his game. He's very talented and a nice human being, which I think is really important,' Kirsten told 'JioHotstar.' 'When you come into these leadership positions, you're going to be put under pressure, and your leadership will be tested. For any young leader, your ability to learn how to lead, improve, and grow is constantly under scrutiny. But I believe he has all the raw materials to become a really good leader,' he added. Kirsten said from whatever he has seen of Gill, the Punjab player delivers on what he says. Gill has played only 32 Tests and averages just over 30 in the format. 'The one thing I really like about Shubman is that he walks the talk. He's very organised, very diligent with his training and preparation, and that sets a great example for other players. I think he's primed to take on the international stage by storm,' the South African batting great said. Gill faces a stern challenge leading the side in testing English conditions, and he has to show patience and composure to succeed on the demanding tour, feels former head coach Ravi Shastri. With India going through a transition phase following the retirements of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin, the BCCI has entrusted Gill to lead the Indian Test team. 'I think, take your time,' Shastri said on 'The ICC Review', offering his initial guidance to the 25-year-old Gill. 'It's not going to be easy. He's (Gill) been asked to do a tough job, that is to captain India on a tour of England.' It is still early days in Gill's Test career, with the youngster amassing 1893 runs at an average of 35.05 in 32 matches, since making his debut in December 2020. Besides his batting, Gill's leadership skills will be put to test in England, where India last won a Test series in 2007. Shastri believes the tour to England could be learning exposure for Gill, who has the experience of captaining Gujarat Titans in the IPL. 'It's never easy, but I think he will learn from this exposure. What I saw of him in the IPL with the Gujarat Titans, he seemed very composed and calm. He's got a good temperament,' he said.

Ram Kapoor addresses rumoured fallout with Ekta Kapoor: 'She can say whatever she wants to'
Actor Ram Kapoor and producer Ekta Kapoor have been making headlines lately due to their rumoured falling out, sparked by Ram's comments about the intimate scenes in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. Now, Ram has finally addressed the buzz around the tension. Also read: 'Hum bade hi achche lagte hain': Did Ekta Kapoor take indirect dig at Ram Kapoor's Ozempic weight loss rumours? Ram opened up about the much-discussed fallout with producer Ekta Kapoor during an interview with NDTV. Ram chose not to fuel the fire, opting for silence instead of publicly discussing the rift with Ekta, and refrained from making any negative comments about her. Ram has worked with Ekta on shows such as Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and Kasamh Se. He said, 'She can say whatever she wants to, but I will not say a word. Because at the end of the day, she gave me what no one gave me. She believed in me when nobody else did. And for that, I will always be grateful. She has the right to say whatever she wants to about me till the end of my career.' The actor also addressed his wife Gautami's cryptic post, calling it a playful banter. Gautami had seemingly responded by taking a dig at Ekta's comments about Ram's weight loss. In the interview, Ram said, 'My wife knows where I stand. It was all in good cannot forget what someone has done for you.' The rift started when Ram suggested in an interview that Ekta had to deal with the aftermath of Bade Achhe Lagte Hain's romantic scenes. Ekta fired back on social media, saying, 'Unprofessional actors giving interviews about my shows should shut up. False information and skewed stories can only last till I talk. But there is dignity in silence'. In another apparent jibe at Ram's physical transformation, Ekta posted a video joking about weight loss and body image, referencing the show title: 'Hum bade hi acche lagte hain'. Ram, who has been in the news for his drastic weight loss, will next be seen in a detective show, Mistry. It will be out on JioHotstar on June 27. Produced by Banijay Asia in association with Universal International Studios and directed by Rishab Seth, Mistry is the Indian adaptation of the multi-award-winning US series Monk. The star cast includes Mona Singh as the fearless ACP Sehmat Siddiqui. Shikha Talsania, and Kshitish Date.

India vs England Live Streaming, First Test: When, where and how to watch IND vs ENG 1st Test live on TV and online
India's highly anticipated five-Test tour of England kicks off with the first Test at Headingley, Leeds, marking the beginning of a new era in Indian cricket. The spotlight is firmly on Shubman Gill, who leads the Test side for the first time following the retirements of senior pros like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin. At just 25, Gill becomes one of India's youngest full-time Test captains, tasked with not only rebuilding a team but also maintaining the high standards set by his predecessors. Gill's elevation comes at a time of significant transition. With just 32 Tests under his belt and an average just above 35, critics may question his readiness. However, former mentors like Gary Kirsten and legends such as Matthew Hayden have backed the Punjab-born opener to rise to the occasion, praising his cricketing intelligence, discipline, and calm demeanour under pressure. India's squad reflects its transitional phase — an exciting but raw group of players stepping into unfamiliar leadership and match-day roles. With Rishabh Pant returning as vice-captain and expected to bat at No. 5, the batting line-up lacks the cushion of experience but boasts flair. KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal will be crucial at the top. The bowling unit, too, is evolving. With Ashwin retired and Shami not fit enough, India will likely depend on a pace-heavy attack featuring Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur and Arshdeep Singh. England, led by Ben Stokes, are well aware of India's rebuilding status but won't underestimate the visitors. With familiar names like Joe Root and Harry Brook anchoring their batting, the hosts aim to press home the advantage early in the series. The match also marks the start of the 2025–27 ICC World Test Championship cycle for both teams. For India, this series is not just about results but about laying the foundation of a team for the future — one led by a young, composed, and determined Shubman Gill. India vs England first Test will be played at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds, UK. India vs England first Test will begin on June 120, 2025. India vs England first Test will start at 3:00 PM IST, with the toss at 2:30 PM IST. India vs England first Test will be broadcast on Sony Sports Network in India. India vs England first Test will be live-streamed on JioHotstar in India. You can also follow along with live updates on Crickit.
