NEW DELHI: The buzz around Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has reached a fever pitch in IPL 2026, with former India captain Kris Srikkanth making a dramatic call to fast-track the 15-year-old sensation into the national setup — while even rival skipper Shreyas Iyer has labelled him “one for the future.”
Srikkanth, known for his blunt takes, did not hold back as he urged selectors to act immediately. “This guy, Sooryavanshi… imagine someone playing such shots. That boy is simply outstanding and brilliant. Ajit, I’m telling you, you need to fast-track him.

The Washington Commanders head into the 2026 NFL Draft with the No. 7 overall pick. In a draft often described as short on blue-chip talent, the Commanders are in an excellent position to land an elite prospect before the talent level drops off.

While soccer’s calendar offers few moments of respite, the World Cup doubles as a time for referendums on the legacies of great players.

Kevin De Bruyne and Casemiro could clarify their complicated international careers in North America; Neymar may not get the same chance.

After 45 minutes, Eder Militao went down awkwardly. The Brazilian had just looped a shot inside the box onto the bar following a Jude Bellingham cross. Militao, grimacing, immediately signalled for a substitution. He was replaced by Antonio Rudiger shortly after.
In his first two years in the NFL, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has completed more passes to D.J. Moore than to any other receiver. Now Moore has been traded to the Bills, and that’s an adjustment for Williams.
Williams said he’s sad to see Moore go but gets why the Bears felt they had to make the move, which brought in a second-round pick from Buffalo while saving Chicago about $16.5 million in salary cap space.
