India&rsquo;s women&rsquo;s cricket team is all set for a fresh start as young talent Kashvee Gautam gets her first-ever national call-up. After her impressive performance in the Women&rsquo;s Premier League (WPL), Kashvee is now part of a much-changed squad for the upcoming ODI tri-series starting on April 27 in Sri Lanka, with South Africa being the third team. The 21-year-old fast bowler took 11 wickets in the WPL, the highest by an Indian player and impressed everyone with her pace and control. She is joined by two other debutants: 20-year-old left-arm spinner N Shree Charani and Shuchi Upadhyay, who was the star of the Senior Women&rsquo;s One-Day Trophy last year.

Interestingly, Shafali Verma is still not included, even though she scored 304 runs in the WPL with a strike rate of 152.76, ranking fourth overall. Shuchi Upadhyay stood out in the domestic circuit with 18 wickets at an average of 15.44. She was named Player of the Tournament as her team Madhya Pradesh lifted the trophy. The tri-series, starting April 27 in Colombo, is crucial preparation for the ODI World Cup later this year in India.

Rajat Patidar, captain of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has been fined INR 12 lakh ($15,000) for maintaining a slow over-rate during their thrilling win against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. This is RCB&rsquo;s first over-rate offence of IPL 2025.
The fine may have grabbed attention, but Patidar&rsquo;s smart captaincy was the real talk of the town. In his first season as captain, he&rsquo;s not only added aggression to RCB&rsquo;s batting scoring 161 runs in four innings, just behind Virat Kohli&rsquo;s 164, but also shown great decision-making under pressure.
After the win, former cricketer Ambati Rayudu praised Patidar&rsquo;s bowling strategy, especially the timely use of Bhuvneshwar Kumar at the death overs during MI&rsquo;s chase.

&ldquo;It was a brilliant move,&rdquo; Rayudu said while talking on ESPNCricinfo's TIMEOUT.
Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar also appreciated how Patidar managed his bowling resources. &nbsp;
&ldquo;He was pretty smart with that. To hold back Krunal for the 20th over made absolute sense, because you don't want him to be bowling the 19th over with Josh Hazlewood only having ten or 12 to defend,&rdquo; Bangar explained.
Rayudu also pointed out how calm Patidar looked in pressure moments, saying: &ldquo;He was at ease in the pressure situations&rdquo; and highlighted how Virat Kohli wasn&rsquo;t as involved in offering suggestions, showing trust in Patidar&rsquo;s leadership.
RCB currently have three wins from four matches and will next face Delhi Capitals at home on Thursday (Apr 10).
Before this game, Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag and Rishabh Pant have also been fined for slow over-rates this season.
Patidar&rsquo;s confidence as a young captain is growing. His bold choices are not just helping RCB win game, they&rsquo;re also earning him respect.

The Wankhede crowd had just started cheering. Trent Boult had taken the wicket of Phil Salt in the very first over, and Mumbai Indians looked ready to fight. But things changed quickly.
RCB&rsquo;s batters, especially Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal, started hitting boundaries and took the powerplay score to 73/1. MI&rsquo;s bowlers gave away too many runs again in the powerplay something that&rsquo;s becoming a big problem.
Coach Mahela Jayawardene admitted it clearly after MI&rsquo;s fourth loss in five matches.

"The powerplay is a concern for us with the ball and the bat... They had a big sixth over, which really hurt us in that powerplay," he said after the loss on Monday (Apr 7).
So far in IPL 2025, MI has the worst economy rate in the powerplay &ndash; over 10 runs per over &ndash; and they&rsquo;ve picked up just six wickets in this phase.
When it was their turn to bat, MI again lost quick wickets and were 54 for 2 in the first six overs.&nbsp;
"With the bat as well, we had a good start but couldn't continue... we're not hitting our strides and that is a concern," Jayawardene added.
He still believes in his senior players and doesn&rsquo;t want to make changes just yet.
"I still back the senior pros... we need to be a bit more ruthless," he said.&nbsp;
Talking about Rohit Sharma&rsquo;s low score, Jayawardene said he isn&rsquo;t worried.
"I wouldn&rsquo;t read into that too much... Rohit will work hard on it," he said.
Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma gave MI some hope with a quick 89-run partnership, but it wasn&rsquo;t enough to win.
"We were close, but not good enough... we are not playing the best cricket we could play," Jayawardene said.
MI now sits at the bottom half of the table &mdash; and they need to bounce back quickly before it&rsquo;s too late.

The Kanlaon volcano in central Philippines erupted on Monday, spewing a column of ash and gas 4,000 metres (2.5 miles) into the sky. The eruption led to calls for local school cancellations; also the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) advised all surrounding local governments to evacuate residents within a four-kilometre permanent danger zone.&nbsp;
Kanlaon Volcano is located on Negros Island in the Philippines. It is an active stratovolcano and the highest peak in the Visayas region, standing at 2,465 meters above sea level. It's considered one of the most active volcanoes in the country, with over 40 recorded eruptions since 1819.&nbsp;

"An explosive eruption is currently occurring at the summit vent of Kanlaon Volcano that began at 5:51 am today," PHIVOLCS said in a statement.&nbsp;

"We were prepared for the eruption. The families within the 4 to 6 kilometres were already evacuated during the previous eruption last December," John De Asis, a rescue official in Negros Occidental province's La Castellana municipality, told AFP.&nbsp;
"Right now we are just monitoring which villages will be affected by the ashfall," De Asis said, further adding that they were recommending "the cancellation of classes and work in the municipality".&nbsp;
