India's failure to qualify for the World Test Championship final is expected to cost Lord's nearly 4 million pounds in revenue when it hosts the five-day match in June. After finishing as runners-up in the last two editions, India missed out on a spot in the summit clash, with Australia and South Africa now set to battle for the ultimate glory in Test cricket. "Lord's is set to generate nearly 4million less in revenue for the upcoming ICC World Test Championship final after India's failure to qualify," a report in The Times said. "...the absence of India has significantly curtailed the financial windfall expected by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), underscoring the financial influence of Indian cricket across the global game." Having spent most of the past year in the top two of the ICC World Test Championship standings, Rohit Sharma and his team slipped to third place after losing a home series 0-3 to New Zealand, followed by a 1-3 defeat to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy .
The "unwarranted" speculation on Rohit Sharma's retirement during the Champions Trophy irked former captain Dilip Vengsarkar to no end as he believes greats like the current India skipper deserve time and space to decide on their future. After leading India to their second ICC title in nine months, Rohit himself dismissed all the speculations on his future, saying he is not retiring from the ODI format. The 37-year-old Rohit has not yet committed to the 2027 ODI World Cup but Vengsarkar reckons his presence can only be good for the team. "I am not an astrologer. A lot of matches to go till the 2027 World Cup. A lot will depend on his form and fitness. It is not fair to say anything at this stage but he has been outstanding as both captain and player. "I don't know why people speculated (on his retirement), it's unwarranted. A player of his stature should get to decide about his future," Vengsarkar told PTI. Both in the 2024 T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy, Rohit's cameos in

Moments after India sealed the Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli broke into an impromptu Dandiya' dance, holding the stumps. Head coach Gautam Gambhir walked around the field with a rare wide grin, hugging his wards. Those were not unusual scenes after such a resplendent night. Beyond the obvious, that footage carried a profound inner meaning for the troika. Few individuals in the last six months have been hounded as much as Gambhir, Rohit and Kohli after the team's largely ordinary run. While the criticism might have had some merit in it, the way it was directed at them was not justified. But now, they have a lifeline, a firmer ground to control their own destiny and a much clearer path to the future for the team. It came after wholehearted trust in the process that the management set in place before this event, as indicated by Rohit. "Someone was telling me that we've lost only one game in the last three ICC tournaments. So, it's a great milestone to have. So, it
KL Rahul is delighted after successfully migrating to No. 6 batting slot, and termed it as a result of his unrelenting preparation and improving his game constantly. Rahul, who usually bat No. 5, was pushed down a position lower in the Champions Trophy, and made 140 runs in four innings here. It's really pleasing for me. The work that I'm putting in to different roles requires a lot of preparation, work outside the cricket field, thinking about how I need to take each game and how I need to perform in different situations and watch some of the players that bat at 5, 6 and how they've been successful, said Rahul following India's Champions Trophy triumph on Sunday. Rahul said he was happy to take up that new responsibility for the team. I've been taught from a very early age by my coaches that cricket is a team game and whatever the team requires of you, you need to be able to accept that and find a way to put in performances for the team and understand what your role is, understand
