Big news! BESCOM cuts off power supply to M Chinnaswamy Stadium

BESCOM

Bengaluru Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) has cut off the power supply to M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

This decision was taken by the power supply company when the Director General of the Fire and Emergency Services Department directed BESCOM to cut off power due to security concerns. Let us tell you that Chinnaswamy Stadium, which is the home ground of Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL, is now dependent on backup generators for power.

BESCOM: Official gave a big statement

Let us tell you that regarding cutting off the power supply of M Chinnaswamy Stadium, an official was quoted by the Times of India as saying – Based on the recommendation of the Director General, we gave notice to KSCA in the second week of June and cut off power for three days.

At the same time, earlier the Karnataka High Court had also reprimanded BESCOM for continuing to supply power to the stadium for violating fire safety guidelines by the stadium management. But later KSCA filed a petition, after hearing which the company has taken this decision.

While hearing the said case, Justice S Sunil Dutt Yadav strongly objected to these mistakes and said – If fire safety norms are not followed, the stadium will remain in the dark. We cannot risk another disaster.

It is worth noting that after winning the IPL 2025 trophy, a large number of fans were present outside the stadium during the victory celebration on June 4. During this, 11 people lost their lives due to stampede, while more than 50 people were injured. But now the High Court and Bescom have taken this decision to prevent any such accident.

Jasprit Bumrah 2025: Akashdeep has the quality of Mohammed Shami, if needed he should play in place of Jasprit Bumrah: Irfan Pathan

Jasprit Bumrah: The second Test match between England and India is starting from July 2.

Jasprit Bumrah was the only Indian bowler who troubled England’s batting a lot in the first Test match played in Leeds, especially in the first innings. In the first match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Bumrah took five wickets for 83 runs.

At the same time, before the start of the series, Indian team head Gautam Gambhir had made it clear that Bumrah will be seen playing only three matches in this series. Meanwhile, due to heavy workload, according to the latest media reports, Bumrah may be rested in the second Test, which will start on Wednesday, July 2 at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Bumrah did not bowl with full intensity in the practice session on Monday, while Akash Deep sweated a lot in bowling before batting for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, former Indian all-rounder and well-known cricket commentator Irfan Pathan has made a big statement. Irfan feels that if Bumrah does not play in the second Test match against England, then Akashdeep is his best replacement, because he has the same quality as Mohammed Shami.

Jasprit Bumrah: Irfan Pathan made a big statement

Let us tell you that before the second Test match against England, Irfan Pathan said on his YouTube channel – If Bumrah is not there, then who should be included in the team in his place? From what has been seen in the nets, it seems that Akash Deep is coming into his rhythm. I think he is a Shami-like bowler.

Irfan further said – His straight seam delivery can trouble the England batsmen, especially when it comes to late movement. If you are being aggressive, it can be a problem. We will bring Arshdeep, but I think if Bumrah is not playing, then Akash Deep should come in the playing 11 in his place.

Corbin Bosch

Corbin Bosch: South Africa has achieved a big win by a margin of 328 runs in the first test match.

Corbin Bosch: The South African cricket team is currently on a tour of Zimbabwe for a two-match test series. So, today on July 1, in the first test match played between the two teams at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, South Africa defeated the host team by 328 runs.

Young all-rounder Corbin Bosch, who was playing only the second test match of his career, played an important role in helping the South African team win the match. In the match, he scored a century for South Africa in the first innings, while in the second innings he bowled brilliantly and took a five-wicket haul by spending just 43 runs in 12 overs.

Due to this all-rounder’s play, South Africa achieved a big win against Zimbabwe by 328 runs. This is their biggest win against Zimbabwe in the history of Test cricket in terms of runs.

Along with this, Corbin Bosch also made a special record in the match. He has become the first player in the world to score a century and take five wickets in the match, who has achieved this feat at the age of 23.

Corbin Bosch: Zimbabwe vs South Africa, status of the first Test match

If we give you information about the match, then South Africa won the toss and decided to bat, and declared their first innings at a score of 418/9 runs on the basis of centuries of Luan Dre Pretorius (153) and Corbin Bosch (100*) in the first innings. In reply, Zimbabwe were all out for just 251 runs despite a hundred by Sean Williams (137).

South Africa then scored 369 runs in the second innings and set a big target of 537 runs for Zimbabwe to win. But when Zimbabwe came out to chase this target, they were all out for just 208 runs and lost the match by a huge margin of 328 runs.

Only MS Dhoni will be ‘Captain Cool’, no one else will be able to take this name, MSD has registered the trademark

MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni was seen playing for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025.

Former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, popularly known as ‘Captain Cool’ for his calm and composed behavior, has filed a trademark application to add this nickname to his name. The move is aimed at ensuring that no other person or entity can make unauthorized use of this popular nickname. If no objection is filed within 120 days, this trademark will be officially granted to Dhoni.

MS Dhoni: Trademark application details

According to the trademark registration portal, Dhoni’s application was filed on June 5, 2025 and published in the official trademark journal on June 16, 2025. The status of the application is currently ‘Approved and Advertised’. This trademark is registered under the category of sports training, sports training facilities, sports coaching, and related services. There was no immediate comment from Dhoni.

Application was made earlier too

Interestingly, in June 2023, a company called Prabha Skill Sports (OPC) Private Limited also filed a trademark application for the phrase ‘Captain Cool’. However, the status of that application is recorded as ‘Correction filed’. Dhoni has claimed that due to the popularity of this nickname, there is a possibility of it being misused, due to which he decided to secure it in his name.

MS Dhoni’s recent achievements

Earlier this month, Dhoni was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame for 2025 along with seven cricketers including former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden and South Africa’s Hashim Amla. Dhoni was last seen on the field in IPL 2025. There is speculation that he may retire before the next season, although he has not made any official confirmation about this.

Ravindra Jadeja: ‘He cannot be your frontline spinner in England’- Who gave such a statement about Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja could not do anything special in the Leeds Test match.

Former Team India head coach Greg Chappell has raised questions on the inclusion of Ravindra Jadeja as the only spinner in the playing XI on the England tour. He believes that Ravindra is not a frontline spinner and should not be selected as the only spinner.

India lost the first Test played at Headingley in Leeds by five wickets. In this match, Ravindra took only one wicket in bowling, while with the bat also he could score only 36 runs in both his innings.

Lack of being able to take advantage of the pitch

The Headingley pitch had some help for the spinners on the fifth day, but Ravindra could not take advantage of it. England easily achieved the huge target of 371 runs. After this performance, questions are being raised on both Ravindra ‘s bowling and batting. His recent form has also been a matter of concern, as he has not been able to score more than 30 runs in the last six innings.

Chappell’s suggestion: Make Jadeja the second spinner

Greg Chappell believes that the Indian team should include Jadeja only as the second spinner and not the only spin option for more balance. Chappell’s statement comes in view of Jadeja’s recent performance, in which both his batting and bowling showed a lack.

Jadeja’s return and challenges

Ravindra was dropped from the playing XI in the first Test of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Series, where Washington Sundar was given a chance in Perth and Ravichandran Ashwin in the second Test. However, Ravindra made a comeback and cemented his place with an important half-century. Nevertheless, runs did not come off his bat in the next two matches, raising questions about his form.

ENG vs IND: ‘Bumrah is definitely available’ Captain Gill gave a big update before the second Test

Bumrah

Gill said that the decision on Bumrah’s participation in the second Test will be taken after the last practice session.

The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of England, where the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series is being played between the two teams. By winning the first Test match played in Leeds by five wickets, hosts England have taken a 1-0 lead in the series.

At the same time, the second match of the ongoing Test series will be played at Edgbaston, Birmingham from July 2. However, according to some media reports, it seems difficult for veteran Jasprit Bumrah to play in this match due to his heavy workload.

But now before the second Test against England, captain Gill has given a big statement regarding Bumrah’s availability. Captain Gill has made it clear that Bumrah is definitely available for the second Test match.

AB de Villiers

Shubman Gill gave a big update

Let us tell you that in the pre-match conference held before the Edgbaston Test match against England, Gill said – Jasprit Bumrah is definitely available. But we have to focus on workload management. After today’s last practice session, we have to think about the right combination.

Gill further said – We knew before the series and had decided that Jasprit would play only three matches with the team. Yes, obviously we will miss him due to his absence, but we have made our planning accordingly.

From this statement given by Gill, you can guess that even though Bumrah is available for the playing 11 of the second Test match, the team management will take a final decision on the team combination only after the last practice session held before the second Test.

Also, if Bumrah does not play the second Test match against England, then Mohammad Siraj will again be the frontline fast bowler of Team India, on whom a lot is going to depend. So, in the absence of Bumrah, either Akashdeep or Arshdeep Singh can get a chance to play.
