🏏 WOMEN'S T20s: BIGGER. FASTER. BOLDER.
Once, 120 was enough.
Now, 150 barely feels safe.
Ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup, we dived into 17 years of data to trace how women's cricket underwent its own batting surge

❌ Siraj's withdrawal from England and Ireland T20Is raised a question: how could a bowler who had drifted out of India's white-ball plans suddenly need rest?
The answer lies in the format India have simply refused to play without him.

#IPL2026 🏏
➡️27,450 runs, 1,426 sixes, 65 totals of 200-plus and nine successful 220-plus chases
➡️Yet the 2026 final produced a modest aggregate of just 316 runs
Was it merely an anomaly, or a sign of a larger trend?

#UFC #RTU #ChungrengKoren
India’s Chungreng Koren thought the UFC dream had slipped away in 2025.
Contractual setbacks denied him one opportunity, a devastating title loss nearly broke him mentally, and personal tragedy shaped the years before it all.
Now, standing two wins away from the UFC, Koren returns carrying far more than ambition.
