India U19 cricketer Abhigyan Kundu will be in spotlight during the upcoming ICC U19 World Cup to be held in Zimbabwe and Namibia. The 17-year-old cricketer from Navi Mumbai was in the news for smashing a record-breaking double century in the recently concluded U19 Asia Cup. The left-hander scored 209 runs off 125 balls against Malaysia, becoming the first Indian and only the second player worldwide to score a double century in Youth One-Dayers. For Abhigyan and his family, the call-up to the Under-19 World Cup is nothing short of a dream come true. Representing India at a global stage…

For the first time in several months, the All India Football Federation and Indian Super League clubs appear to be moving towards a common ground. As part of its efforts to stabilise the domestic structure, the AIFF has presented a long-term roadmap for the ISL, largely mirroring the framework earlier proposed by Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), albeit with certain key differences. During a virtual meeting on Friday, the AIFF’s three-member committee shared details of the proposed model with representatives of 13 ISL clubs, East Bengal being the only absentee. The proposal outlines a 20-year roadmap under which the league…

The three-member committee, appointed by the All-India Football Federation (AIFF), presented two proposals for the start of the Indian Super League (ISL) this season, during a meeting with club representatives, at the Football House. However, clubs remain concerned due to the lack of clarity regarding budgets, the revenue model, and broadcasting arrangements. Speaking to RevSportz, IFA secretary Anirban Dutta said, “Once we finalise the model under which the ISL will be conducted this season, we will have a clear idea about the start date. Before approaching a broadcaster with a proposal, it is essential to determine the number of matches,…

The meeting will be chaired by AIFF Deputy Secretary General M. Satyanarayan. In an effort to resolve the delay to…

The three-member committee appointed by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to find a way forward to the Indian Super League’s (ISL) resumption has begun internal deliberations, with each member submitting individual proposals on how the league can be organised this season. According to sources, the committee members are scheduled to meet again on Tuesday evening to examine the merits and drawbacks of the submitted proposals and consolidate them into a single draft. The final proposal will then be presented to ISL clubs for discussions on organising the league in the ongoing season. The committee was constituted following the AIFF…

Mukesh Kumar is among the rare breed of bowlers who received his maiden India call-up before playing a single IPL game. The pacer from Bengal made headlines by making his debut for India in all three formats within a span of 14 days during the series against the West Indies in 2023. However, a calf injury pushed Mukesh down the pecking order among fast bowlers in the country. The 32-year-old fast bowler from Gopalganj has now set his sights on getting back into rhythm in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy matches. In this chat with RevSportz, Mukesh shares his targets…

A majority of Indian Super League (ISL) clubs have formally submitted a detailed proposal to the All India Football Federation (AIFF), seeking perpetual rights to operate and manage India’s top-tier professional football league through a club-owned structure. The proposal, dated December 19, 2025, has been addressed jointly to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and the AIFF, and is expected to be placed before the AIFF General Body Meeting on December 20. Sources confirmed that nine ISL clubs have signed the letter, while East Bengal FC has not endorsed the proposal. This development follows AIFF’s directive asking ISL clubs…

There is a popular saying that batters may win you games, but bowlers win you tournaments—and it perfectly applies to the Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of the upcoming IPL 2026 season. The three-time IPL champions possess a formidable bowling attack, featuring impressive depth and variety across both the pace and spin departments. The Shahrukh Khan-owned franchise made headlines in the IPL 2026 mini-auction by securing Australian all-rounder Cameron Green for Rs 25.2 crore and Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana for Rs 18 crore. Pathirana has taken 47 wickets in 32 IPL matches at an economy rate of 8.68. With the…

With only seven T20Is remaining before Suryakumar Yadav and his boys kickstart their 2026 T20 World Cup campaign, each match now carries significance. While a victory in the fourth T20I against the Proteas would hand India a 14th straight T20I series triumph, the more compelling subplot lies elsewhere — top-order issues, and the poor form of both the captain and vice-captain. All eyes will be on Suryakumar and Shubman Gill, with their recent form becoming a concern as the marquee event approaches. Former India cricketer, Manoj Tiwary, too shared his concern in an exclusive chat with RevSportz. According to Manoj,…

It was yet another disappointing performance from Suryakumar Yadav during the third T20I against South Africa at Dharamsala on Sunday night. He managed to score just 12 runs off 11 balls before getting out to Lungi Ngidi. The Indian T20I captain has been going through a prolonged slump in form in 2025. The Mumbaikar has averaged just 14.2 in the format this year. “Surya is too good a player to be thought about twice in T20 cricket,” said MSK Prasad, former selection committee chairman, to RevSportz. “In fact, he is one of the all-time great players of T20Is. Since the…
