Virendra Saxhag shared a touching message on his son Aryavir's birthday

Discussions arose regarding the goalkeeping training of Yashasvi Jaiswal, India's starting batsman, during the Ranji Trophy (Ranji Trophy 2026-27). Former cricketers expressed surprise over this decision.

Former wicketkeeper Dip Dasgupta and MSK Prasad questioned this move, noting that the team already has options such as KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Ishan Kishan, making the sudden adoption of a new role illogical.

Jaiswal has recently attracted attention not only for his outstanding batting but also for this unexpected decision. Before the match against Chandigarh, which was part of the Ranji Trophy, Mumbai captain Sidhesh Lad announced that Jaiswal was learning goalkeeping skills. Furthermore, he was seen training in gloves during the second day's lunch break. This situation sparked active discussions in sports circles about whether he is taking any new steps to secure his place in the white-ball format.

Commenting on the situation, former Indian wicketkeeper Dip Dasgupta posed a sharp question in an interview with the 'Hindustan Times'. He stated: 'I am sure it will be a disappointment for him, but the question is not whether he is looking for opportunities as a wicketkeeper, but why he thinks so? You cannot just decide one morning that you want to do wicketkeeping for India. It is completely illogical.' He added that someone should talk to him to understand what is going on in his head.

The Indian team already has many wicketkeeping options in the limited-overs format. Strong players such as KL Rahul, Ishan, and Sanju Samson are expected to take their turn, and Rishabh Pant is also a strong contender.

For this reason, former chief selector and wicketkeeper MSK Prasad advised Jaiswal not to get involved in such matters. Prasad clarified that players like Rahul Dravid or KL Rahul were wicketkeepers at the U-19 level, which helped them maintain natural ease. However, given the current intense competition for every position, such thinking is not the right direction.

In the match against Chandigarh, the Mumbai team won convincingly by 155 runs, but Jaiswal could not perform in the attack and was removed from the game at zero after 13 innings.

Anaya Bangar, whose real name is Aryaan Bangar, son of former Indian team attack coach Sanjay Bangar, underwent hormone therapy that allowed her to adopt a new identity. After transitioning from male to female, Anaya attracted significant public attention. Her main dream is to participate in women's international cricket, and she is actively working towards achieving this goal.

Recently, Cricket Australia (CA) approved her opportunity to play in women's domestic cricket in Australia in accordance with its policy. However, Anaya's recent social media post is not about cricket, but about golf. She shared videos and photos from her Instagram account where she was captured during swings at a golf practice facility at night. In the caption, she wrote: 'Found a new favorite way to spend time.'

In the picture, Anaya looks completely in a golfer's attire, ready to swing the club, with an illuminated practice area visible in front of her. Her post received reactions from fans and social media users in the form of hearts and fire emojis.

Anaya has a long history with cricket; she played youth cricket for Mumbai, and then began the gender transition process in 2022. In March 2026, she underwent gender confirmation surgery. In the photo she published, she is practicing at a golf driving range, concentrating on making large swings under artificial light.

The caption also suggests that golf for Anaya Bangar is not just a game she tried once, but an activity she really enjoyed. She shared this post with hashtags such as #explore, #flyp, and #explorepage. Despite Anaya Bangar's experience in cricket, her image with a golf club has become something special to her fans. Currently, her posts show that golf is becoming a new favorite hobby for her alongside sports.
