It’s been a rough ride for both teams. India, the defending champions, have lost three consecutive matches and sit at the bottom of the table with just one point. 

West Indies are just one spot above them with two points from four games. While both sides are struggling, they’re still in contention for the semifinals—making this clash a crucial one.

On the other hand, the England Champions have faced a difficult campaign, collecting just one point across four matches, and that came via a match that was called off because of rain.

The former off-spinner, Harbhajan Singh, has shared pictures of the moments he shared with the former opener of the side, Shikhar Dhawan, besides playing for the India Champions during the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025. Harbhajan didn’t feature in the first game of the tournament for the Blue Brigade against South Africa in Northampton.

Harbhajan Singh shared the pictures of Dhawan's special event ‘Beyond the Boundary’ at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground, which was also attended by some of the other notable players like Suresh Raina,Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan, and others.

‘An inspiring evening with my brother, Shikhar Dhawan, at the Shikhar Dhawan Foundation. The incredible work he’s doing for society is truly commendable. I wish and pray that he continues this beautiful journey of giving back. May God bless you with immense strength and boundless energy to keep making a difference. Proud of you, brother. More power to you!’ The former Indian off-spinner, Harbhajan Singh, revealed in an Instagram post.

Dhawan was a strong member of the Indian top order during a career that lasted for nearly a decade. He retired from international cricket with 34 Tests, 167 ODIs, and 68 T20Is for his 10867 runs. He and Harbhajan expressed their best wickets to the Indian team, who are fighting for the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford in Manchester.

A post shared by Harbhajan Turbanator Singh (@harbhajan3)

‘All my best wishes are with them, and they're playing really good cricket. And I'm very, very proud of them. India is currently trailing 1-2 in the series. They showed great character as a team; they're a young team. And winning the second game after losing the first one—that was great character. I feel that they're playing great cricket. Of course, it's 2-1 at the moment. But I'm sure that they will turn the tables for us.’ The veteran expressed on the sidelines.

"Shikhar has always been a younger brother to me. We have played a lot of cricket together. And more than cricket, he is like a brother to me. So, I want him to keep on growing every day and keep on doing something for society as well. So, a lot of love, a lot of affection.’ Harbhajan shed light during the event ‘Beyond the Boundaries.’

During a recent podcast episode with Ravichandran Ashwin, the former Indian off-spin all-rounder, Harbhajan Singh, recalled the incident when he slapped S Sreesanth during a fixture in the Indian Premier League. The Punjab-born was honest and straightforward in the conversation on a variety of topics, but got a little emotional, looking back at the controversial altercation with the former pacer in 2008.

During the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Harbhajan, who was representing the Mumbai Indians (MI), slapped Sreesanth, who was featuring for the Kings XI Punjab at the end of the league clash. In reaction, the BCCI suspended the veteran spinner for the remainder of the tournament. Singh revealed that it would be an incident he would look to forget in the future.

‘One thing I’d want to change in my life is that incident with Sreesanth. I want to remove that incident from my career. That is the incident I would change from my list. What transpired was wrong, and I shouldn’t have done what I did. I apologised 200 times.’ Harbhajan Singh expressed during his podcast with the Tamil Nadu spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin.

Harbhajan Singh recalls his slap incident during IPL 2008 with S Sreesanth

‘What I felt so bad was even years after that incident, I have been apologizing every opportunity or stage I get. It was a mistake. We all make mistakes, and we hope and try to never repeat such mistakes. He was my teammate and we were playing together.’ Harbhajan shared the incident before remembering his meeting with Sreesanth’s daughter, who refused to talk to him.

‘What hurt me even after many years was when I met his daughter, and I was talking to her with a lot of love, and she said, ‘I don’t want to talk to you. You hit my father.’ My heart was shattered, and I was on the verge of tears. I was asking myself what impression I’ve left on her? She must be thinking of me in a poor light, right?’ He revealed.

‘I wish when she grows up, she doesn’t see me in the same light. And think her uncle will always be with her and extend any kind of support he can. That’s why I want to remove that chapter.’ The veteran spinner added.

Indian spin stalwarts Ravichandran Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh have finally opened up on long-standing rumors surrounding jealousy and a supposed rift between the two. During a candid interaction, Harbhajan asked Ashwin directly whether he believed the former was ever jealous of his success. Ashwin responded by acknowledging that even if jealousy had existed at one point, it was only a natural human reaction. The two off-spinners are among the greatest to have represented India in Tests, with Harbhajan taking 417 wickets in 103 matches and Ashwin scalping 537 wickets in 106 games.

Ashwin replaced Harbhajan as India’s lead spinner in Test cricket, which had sparked years of speculation about friction. However, in the teaser of Season 3 of Kutti Stories with Ash, the duo addressed the topic head-on. Ashwin began by stating, “This whole jealousy bit. Before I allow you to answer that, let me clarify something. People look at everything from their perspective. For example, if they are passing a comment on me, they believe that others would see the world through their eyes. This comment that you are jealous of this person who is interviewing you today—what would that be about?”

Harbhajan calmly responded, “Do you think I am jealous of you? You are sitting with me today, and we have spoken at length. Do you think I am that kind of person?” Ashwin then added, “Even if you were jealous at one point, it is justified. That is my point. I would never take it the wrong way because we are all human. Naturally, it is bound to be like that.”

Ashwin denies retirement link with Washington Sundar

During the same discussion, Ashwin also dismissed another widespread rumor—that his international retirement in 2024 was due to Washington Sundar being preferred over him in the playing XI. “Some people believe I retired because of Washington Sundar. He is in the thick of things now. All of this is the perspective of others,” Ashwin clarified.

Harbhajan retired from all forms of cricket in December 2021, while Ashwin stepped away from the international game during the 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Aside from their excellence with the ball, both players made notable contributions with the bat. Ashwin scored six Test centuries and 14 fifties, while Harbhajan hit two centuries and nine fifties in red-ball cricket.

The upcoming WCL 2025 clash between India Champions and Pakistan Champions has been hit by another boycott. Former Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan has joined the likes of the Pathan brothers and Harbhajan Singh to boycott the fixture with their arch-rivals, scheduled to take place on Sunday. Dhawan's decision came in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor on May 11. The decision was formally communicated over a call and via WhatsApp message. 

The move was made in an effort to stand in solidarity with the nation and its armed forces, who put their lives on the line to defend the country during Operation Sindoor. Relations have been sour between the two ideologically opposed nations since the Pahalgam terror attacks, which claimed the lives of 26 Indian civilians on April 26. In a tit-for-tat response, the Indian government launched a fierce military campaign against Pakistan to avenge the losses of the fallen souls. 

The latest flashpoint between the two countries has left the future of the upcoming Ind-Pak clashes in serious doubt.

Former Indian and Pakistani cricketers at loggerheads over Pahalgam terror attacks

Former players from both sides attacked each other on social media when India's military operation was underway in full swing. Former Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi issued a distasteful remark at that time, which severely undermined the credibility of our government and the armed forces. And once it was revealed that Shahid Afridi would take part in the upcoming WCL clash, fans began mounting pressure on the Indian players and urged them to boycott the match.

While as many as four Indian players have formally conveyed their unwillingness to participate in the marquee clash, there has been no confirmation of a last-minute withdrawal or boycott from the Pakistani camp. A cloud of uncertainty hangs over the future of the Ind-Pak WCL clash, with many reports suggesting that the fixture could get called off. This is an evolving story, and more details are awaited at this stage.   

After the Pahalgaon incident, relations between India and Pakistan are still not normal. It is also unknown when the two countries will face each other again on the cricket field. Among them, a controversy started regarding the India vs. Pakistan match in the 'World Championship of Legends' competition. Fans questioned why Indians were playing against Pakistan. It is reported that Harbhajan Singh, Irfan, and Yusuf Pathan withdrew their names from that match under pressure.

The 'World Championship of Legends' is being held in Edgbaston, England, with former cricketers from different countries. The competition started on July 18. The captain of the Indian team is Yuvraj Singh. Former players like Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu will play. Although it has not been officially announced yet, various media reports have said that Harbhajan and the Pathan brothers will not play in the Pakistan match. It is worth noting that India and Pakistan are facing each other at Edgbaston on Sunday.

 Although it has not been officially announced yet, various media reports have said that Harbhajan and the Pathan brothers will not play in the Pakistan match. It is worth noting that India and Pakistan are facing each other at Edgbaston on Sunday.

After the Pahalgaon incident, former cricketers spoke out in support of their respective countries. In response, Shikhar Dhawan wrote, "We lost to you in Kargil too. You have sunk this low; how much lower will you go? Instead of making negative comments, do something that will benefit your country. We are proud of the Indian soldiers.

Squads:

India Champions squad: Yuvraj Singh (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Irfan Pathan, Saurabh Tiwary, Yusuf Pathan, RP Singh, Robin Uthappa, Naman Ojha, Gurkreet Mann, Harbhajan Singh, Vinay Kumar, Rahul Shukla, Rahul Sharma, Dhawal Kulkarni, Anureet Singh, and Pawan Negi.

Mumbai Indians, under the captaincy of Nicholas Pooran through the Major League Cricket 2025, have added another title to their cabinet. They now have 13 trophies in the shortest format across the globe, with some the memorable moments for the fans. In this MLC 2025, they were down and out in the group stage of the competition but made a cracking comeback in the second half. 

As Kieron Pollard, who has been a veteran member of the franchise for a long time in different tournaments, reckoned that until this franchise is down and out in the mathematical equation, no one should count them out of the tournament at any cost. And that exactly happened as the MI New York scripted a five-run victory over the Washington Freedom.

Let’s take a look at the captains of the MI franchise with the most titles across the globe.

5. Harbhajan Singh (1 title)

Harbhajan Singh was the leader of the franchise when they earned the very first edition of the Champions League T20 in 2013. They started the season with a defeat over the Rajasthan Royals before the second game saw the rain play spoilsport. However, they made two successive dominating performances with victories against the Lions and the Perth Scorchers.

In the semifinal of the event, Mumbai faced Trinidad & Tobago in Delhi. Thanks to Evin Lewis’ 62 runs in 46 balls and Yannick Ottley’s 41 unbeaten runs in 30 balls, the West Indies franchise reached 153/5 in their 20 overs. The 90-run opening stand was enough for Mumbai to script the victory, with Dwayne Smith ending with 59 in 35 balls. Later, the franchise had a walk in the park against the Rajasthan Royals in the final with a 33-run win.

 4. Rashid Khan (1 title)

After two poor seasons at the start of the SA20, the MI Cape Town decided to bring Rashid Khan as the leader of the side. And that turned their fortune straightaway. They began the 2025 season with three wins in the first five clashes. After the abandoned fixture against the Durban Super Giants, MI picked up the pace.

With an unbeaten group-stage of the event, having six victories, Rashid Khan’s army finished at the top of the points table. In the first qualifier against the Paarl Royals, MI got 199/4 and earned a victory by 39 runs. It was another cakewalk for them in the final against the Sunrisers Eastern where they got a 76-run victory.

3. Harmanpreet Kaur (2 titles)

Once the Women’s Premier League (WPL) started, many predicted MI to have another dominating time in this league. And they were right. Under Harmanpreet Kaur’s leadership, the Mumbai Indians women finished the 2023 season in second position in the group stage. They blew away the Delhi Capitals in the final with a seven-wicket win to lift the maiden trophy of the league.

It was just a carbon copy during the 2025 season, where they again finished in the second rank, thanks to five wins in eight encounters. They again met the Delhi side in the final, and this time grabbed the urn with an eight-run victory. They defended their 149 runs thanks to some superb bowling and fielding performances.

2. Nicholas Pooran (3 titles)

In two different leagues, Nicholas Pooran has won three titles overall for the Mumbai Indians. The first one came in 2023 against the Seattle Orcas when they won by 184 runs by seven wickets in hand. In this season of 2025, they defended their 180-run score as the 22-year-old Rushil Ugarkar showed his calmness in the final over.

Pooran also captained the MI Emirates in 2024, where they finished the group stage at the top with six wins in 10 fixtures. They met the Dubai Capitals in the final and defended 208/3 to win the clash by 45 runs.

1. Rohit Sharma (6 titles)

Rohit Sharma’s captaincy and the Mumbai Indians were a fairytale story. Under him, they won their very first title of the IPL in 2013 and then continued the progress in 2015, 2017, and 2019. In this period, they produced some magical players like Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and others, who went on to help Indian cricket a lot in the future.

In 2019, they held their nerve against the Chennai Super Kings for a one-run victory. They followed the superb performance in 2020 when they ended up being the most dominant side. There was hardly any need to hold the competition as their performance was above excellence to others.

They haven’t won the IPL since 2020 and came close in 2025 when they lost the second qualifier to the Punjab Kings. But the way their young players have performed so far, the trophy cabinet is going to fill more in the coming years.  

Team India’s T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, opened up about the moment he first met his wife, Devisha Shetty, during an appearance on the chat show Who’s the Boss?, hosted by Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra. Recalling their first meeting in 2012, Suryakumar said it was “love at first sight” when he saw Devisha near the college where he had studied. Devisha, a student at the time, was introduced to him by a mutual friend.

Sharing the story, Suryakumar said, “Main college ke samne katte pe baitha tha apne doston ke saath. She came walking from the other side of the college, and I just happened to notice her. I saw our mutual friend was talking to someone. And I was like, ‘bro, I am standing here. who are you talking to?’ Then I saw Devisha walking towards us.” He continued, “He literally ran towards her. She came from behind the bus stand, and it was a love-at-first-sight moment. I was literally brushing aside my friends to see who she was. Then I told my friend, ‘what are you doing, at least introduce me.’ She just talked to my friend and left.”

Devisha also shared her perspective, saying, “In 2012, he was an ex-student of the college that I was studying in. He was with a common friend, and that guy made us meet.” Suryakumar, who was determined to stay in touch, managed to get Devisha’s BBM pin from the mutual friend. He revealed, “He messaged me [on BBM], but I didn’t accept it… Then he messaged me on Facebook, and we used to video call on Skype.”

From College Crush to Cricket Stardom

The couple, who tied the knot in July 2016 after dating for a few years, are now among the most popular cricketing pairs on social media. They were recently spotted at Wimbledon 2025. Devisha admitted that she didn’t know who Suryakumar was when they first met, saying, “He was not too popular at that time.” Reflecting on his rise, she said, “Never thought that life would bring us here. It’s good to see the growth from just being there in MI, not playing any games. I think he played one game in three years.”

She further added, “He’s not had a sudden spike. Things have come slowly, but actually it’s good because it was nice to see him dealing so maturely with the growth that life has given him.” Since making his international debut in March 2021, Suryakumar has risen to captain India in T20Is, scoring 2,598 runs in 83 matches at a blistering strike rate of 167.07.

Ahead of the 3rd Test of the ongoing 5-match series between England and India, a star-studded evening was held at Grosvenor House, Park Lane, in London on July 8 (Tuesday). Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh arranged a fundraiser through his YouWeCan Foundation to raise funds for cancer care for women and children across India.

To mark this event special, team India's entire Test setup attended the event along with many greats of the game. Among those guests, Virat Kohli was one of the few who attracted most of the spotlight. Virat Kohli announced his retirement just a few days before India's tour to England, and now, he is in London but not a part of the national team in the Whites. Sachin Tendulkar, Virat, Chris Gayle, Kevin Pietersen, and Ravi Shastri were among the stars who attended the program organized by Yuvraj. Famous television host Gaurav Kapoor hosted a candid chat featuring Ravi Shastri, Yuvraj, Pietersen, Gayle, and Gough. Kohli also participated in that initiative.

In this moment, Virat shared how special his bond is between him and Yuvraj Singh. He also showed gratitude to two other former cricketers, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan, for mentoring him to become an established cricketer.

Virat spoke about his relationship with Yuvraj, Harbhajan and Zaheer 

"Watching him in the World Cup was very special, and what we got to know after that was a shock. Being so close to him… we had no idea. Then his battle with cancer and again the champion that he is… coming on top and making a comeback to the team when I was leading the team," Virat Kohli said. 

"During a North Zone tournament in Bangalore. When I started playing for India, he, Bhajju Pa, and Zaheer Khan took me under their wings. They really helped me grow as a player and made me comfortable in the dressing room. A lot of fun times off the field, and they made me aware of the lifestyle of getting to the top. These are the bonds I will cherish for the rest of my life."
