Very Poor Average Good
However, their reunion on the field did not bring success to London Spirit. Defending champions Oval Invincibles dominated the Spirit, bowling them out for 80 runs in 94 balls. Rashid Khan (3/11) and Sam Curran (3/18) led the charge as the Invincibles chased down the target in just 69 balls, winning by six wickets. After the match, Rashid commented on his performance: “It was nice to get off to a winning start... There was spin on offer. I mixed things up and it worked well.” Adding to the excitement, play was briefly interrupted by an unexpected visitor - a fox that ran across the ground, delighting the crowd at Lord’s.

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.

India Clinches Thrilling Victory Over England in Fifth Test Match
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Arshdeep Singh
NEW DELHI: India secured a thrilling six-run victory over England in a dramatic conclusion to the fifth and final Test match at The Oval, resulting in a 2-2 draw in the fiercely-contested five-Test series spanning six weeks of high-quality cricket. In a nail-biting finale, England fell just short of the target of 374, which would have been their second-highest successful run chase in Test history. Mohammed Siraj was the standout performer on the fin
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:
