Ricky Ponting recently recalled the journey of Suryakumar Yadav in T20 cricket, remembering how he struggled for game time at Mumbai Indians before coming to the spotlight with Kolkata Knight Riders. Yadav has become the cornerstone of Mumbai's success in the tournament over the last few seasons.

Sanath Jayasuriya has recalled the three seasons he spent playing for Mumbai Indians, stating the team is like a family to him and the city close to his heart. He went on to reveal his experiences from the time, including those of playing alongside Sachin Tendulkar and Harbhajan Singh.

Ravi Shastri believes there is a possibility of soon having two Indian Premier League seasons in a single year given the format's economics and the demand created by stakeholders. He went on to explain how such a system could function with a proper season followed by a shorter knockout version.

Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen is of the opinion that India should include Umran Malik in their squad for the Test match against England in July as he will be effective with his pace. Pietersen added that India can bowl Malik in short three or four-over spells so that he can be effective.
