  • India might lack the experience but we won’t take them lightly: Root

    1 week ago | thehindu.com | Ashwin Achal

    With several big names having recently retired — Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Stuart Broad and James Anderson, to name a few — the Indian and England Test teams must now go through a period of transition. There is, however, one comforting constant. If ever England need an experienced statesman to carry the load, they can turn to Joe Root. A prolific run-scorer with 153 Tests under his belt, Root has revelled as the side’s batting mainstay.

    What began as a day of rapturous celebration over the IPL victory of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) turned into one of crushing tragedy in Bengaluru on June 4, 2025 evening, when 11 people — all aged below 40 — died and scores of others were injured when a massive build up of fans at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium led to chaos and stampede. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has ordered a magisterial enquiry into the incident that drew sharp criticism over failed crowd management by the opposition.

    For far too long, Royal Challengers Bengaluru relied on star power to get the job done. The likes of Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, Kevin Pietersen and Virat Kohli did provide their share of entertainment, but as a collective, RCB could not come together to realise the dream.
