Young India batter Tilak Varma moved to number two in the ICC men’s T20I ranking after a stunning show with the bat against England in the second T20I at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Since his debut, the 22-year-old has been remarkable in the shortest format of the game and has sealed his spot in the playing XI.

Novak Djokovic cleared the picture once and for all regarding his hamstring injury, he played through the Australian Open quarter-final and semi-finals and eventually had to retire in the latter against Alexander Zverev. Since Djokovic had lost the first set before he had to withdraw, obviously some doubters booed him out of the arena alleging it was an excuse or him faking it but Djokovic decided to put his MRI scan results on social media to clear the picture literally, once and for all. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/tennis/djokovic-shares-his-scan-for-sports-injury-experts-after-being-booed-at-following-withdrawal-from-ao-semis-2025-01-26-973140

Arshdeep Singh scripted history on Wednesday, January 22, surpassing Yuzvendra Chahal's record for the most T20I wickets for India.

With this milestone, Arshdeep has cemented his position in the record books but he is on the cusp of another major achievement, requiring just three more wickets to reach the 100-wicket mark in T20I cricket. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/arshdeep-singh-on-cusp-of-breaking-major-t20i-record-2025-01-25-973005
