Oct 6: India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has got engaged to girlfriend and engineer Nupur Nagar in a private ceremony, which was attended by close friends and family, in Greater Noida on Thursday, October 5.

The 27-year-old took to social media platforms to share a photograph of Nupur with himself with an emotional message on Thursday. Notably, the Meerut-based cricketer had revealed the identity of his fiancee in an Instagram post only on Tuesday, October 3.

Who is Nupur Nagar?

• Bhuvneshwar and Nupur's family had known each other as they had been living in the same neighbourhood in Meerut's Ganga Nagar, according to the Times of India.

• Nupur is currently working as an engineer at an MNC in Greater Noida. Her family moved from Meerut after she had landed a job in Greater Noida.

• Nupur's father is a retired police officer

• Nupur did her schooling at Meerut's JP Academy

• She did her engineering from a private college in Noida.

Meanwhile, Bhuvneshwar's father Kiran Pal Singh told the Times of India that the wedding will likely happen in December, sometime after the end Sri Lanka's tour to India (December 21) and before the start of Team India's tour to South Africa (December 31).

"We are now trying to see when we can have the wedding. Bhuvi is busy with back-to-back series in the coming months but as soon as we find a 10-day window, we will make arrangements," Kiran Pal said.

The family is also keen on having the wedding in Meerut, where Bhuvneshwar and Nupur's family were residing before the latter moved to Greater Noida. Kiran Pal also says he will invite his son's teammates, including big names MS Dhoni and Virat kohli, for the wedding.

Notably, Bhuvneshwar will be a key part of Kohli's T20I side, which will take on Australia in a three-match T20I series, starting Saturday, October 7 in Ranchi. Having been regarded as one of the best death bowlers in world cricket, the Meerut lad's new-ball combination with Jasprit Bumrah will be key to India's chances against the visitors.

Indore, Jan 8:  India skipper Virat Kohli has added yet another feather to his cap by becoming the fastest player to score 1,000 runs in T20I cricket as a captain. Kohli played an unbeaten knock of 30 during India''s seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the second T20I of the ongoing three-match series on Tuesday evening.

Kohli achieved the milestone of scoring 1,000 runs as captain in his 30th T20I inning. He is the second Indian and sixth overall after MS Dhoni to have achieved the feat. Dhoni had scored 1112 runs in 62 T20I games as captain.

Faf du Plessis (1273 runs from 40 games), Kane Williamson (1083 runs in 39 games), Eoin Morgan (1013 runs in 43 games) and Ireland''s William Porterfield (1002 runs in 56 games) are other captains on the list.

During India''s emphatic victory at the Holkar Stadium, Kohli also surpassed team-mate Rohit Sharma, who has been rested for the series, as the top run-getter in the T20Is. Kohli now has 2663 runs from 71 innings.

Both had finished 2019 as joint top-scorers in T20Is, with 2633 runs each.

India, already with an unassailable lead of 1-0 in the series, will now face Sri Lanka in the final T20I on Friday in Pune. The first match between the two teams was called off without a ball being bowled due to wet patches on the pitch in Guwahati last Sunday.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed interim changes to its playing regulations, which include the ban on the use of saliva to shine the ball and allowing home umpires in international series as per a release issued by the international body.

The ICC Chief Executives' Committee (CEC) ratified recommendations from the Anil Kumble-led Cricket Committee, aimed at mitigating the risks posed by the COVID-19 virus and protect the safety of players and match officials when cricket resumes.

COVID-19 Replacements

Teams will be allowed to replace players displaying symptoms of COVID-19 during a Test match. In line with concussion replacements, the Match Referee will approve the nearest like-for-like replacement.

However, the regulation for COVID-19 replacements will not be applicable in ODIs and T20Is.

Ban on Saliva on Ball

Players will not be permitted to use saliva to shine the ball. If a player does apply saliva to the ball, the umpires will manage the situation with some leniency during an initial period of adjustment for the players, but subsequent instances will result in the team receiving a warning.

Whenever saliva is applied to the ball, the umpires will be instructed to clean the ball before play recommences.
