NEW DELHI: The Pakistan Super League (PSL) took a decisive step towards expansion on Thursday, inducting two new franchises ahead of the 2026 season — but the price tags attached underlined the stark financial gap between the PSL and the Indian Premier League (IPL).Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!A real estate consortium and a US-based aviation and healthcare conglomerate won the bids for the two new teams at a combined price of $12.75 million (approximately INR 114 crore). OZ Developers secured the Sialkot franchise for PKR 1.85 billion ($6.55 million), while the FKS Group from the United States picked Hyderabad after a successful bid of PKR 1.75 billion ($6.2 million).

With these additions, the PSL will expand from six to eight teams when the season begins on March 26, marking a new phase in the league’s growth strategy. However, the auction figures have sparked discussion across the cricketing world for a different reason — the dramatic contrast with IPL valuations.Each of the new PSL teams was sold for roughly INR 56–59 crore, a figure that is almost identical to the combined IPL salaries of Shreyas Iyer (INR 26.75 crore) and Rishabh Pant (INR 27 crore). In fact, the combined cost of the two new PSL franchises is still lower than the INR 118 crore spent on just the top nine players at the IPL 2026 auction.

The contrast becomes even sharper when placed against IPL franchise sales. The two IPL expansion teams added in 2021 were sold for INR 5,625 crore and INR 7,090 crore respectively — nearly 100 to 125 times the price of a new PSL franchise on a like-for-like basis. Even when adjusted for inflation, the IPL’s original 2008 franchise fees would today sit in the INR 900–1,500 crore range, still vastly higher than PSL’s latest numbers.Meanwhile, former Multan Sultans owner Ali Khan Tareen stayed away from the auction despite being eligible to bid. Explaining his decision on social media, Tareen reiterated that his association with the PSL was rooted in representing South Punjab. “When the Multan team is being sold, we’ll be ready,” he wrote.For now, Multan Sultans will be run by the Pakistan Cricket Board this season before being put up for sale after the PSL concludes in April.

Diya Kumari with mother Padmini Devi. The row involves land in what used to be ‘Hathroi village’ in official records

JAIPUR: Supreme Court has reopened proceedings in a Rs 400-crore land dispute between Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) and the family of former royal and deputy CM Diya Kumari, setting aside a Rajasthan high court order that allowed a 2011 trial court decree in favour of the princely estate to “stand without examination on merit”. The bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and K V Vishwanathan held that there was no justification in the high court declining to consider JDA’s appeal on technical grounds. The judges directed the HC bench to decide JDA’s first appeal on merit within four weeks and submit a compliance report. The dispute involves land in what used to be “Hathroi village” in official records before becoming part of central Jaipur’s urban sprawl, including prime real estate, schools, hospitals and other civic infrastructure. JDA pegs the value of the land parcel, mentioned in revenue records as “Siwai chak” (uncultivable govt land), at Rs 400 crore. The petition says the civic administration took possession of the land in the 1990s, challenging the erstwhile royal family’s claim that it was registered as private property under the 1949 Covenant linked to Jaipur’s accession to the Indian Union. JDA insists the land was never listed as the former royal family’s private property in the covenant schedule, and that swathes of land were lawfully acquired between 1993 and 1995 after paying compensation. In 2005, the royal family filed a civil suit, seeking declaration of ownership. On Nov 24, 2011, the trial court decreed the suit in their favour, declaring them owners. The court set aside revenue entries in favour of the state and restrained JDA from interfering with possession. JDA filed its first appeal in 2012. It was dismissed in Nov 2023, before being restored just over a year later. On Sept 15 last year, HC declined to intervene in the dispute, leaving the trial court decree intact without appellate scrutiny. JDA approached Supreme Court on Dec 10, arguing that public land was lost on technical grounds despite issues involving public title, completed acquisitions, settled revenue records and a constitutional bar under Article 363.

DEHRADUN: The post-mortem report of 24-year-old Tripura youth Anjel Chakma, who was killed in Dehradun on Dec 9, 2025, points to a brutal battering inflicted on the MBA student, with injuries to the head, possibly by a kada, being the cause of death. TOI accessed a copy of the report on Friday, which mentions “13 stitches on the right side of neck of 12.5 cm length, three stitches on right side of lower back of 3 cm in length, and one stitch of 1 cm length on the right shoulder.” The report also stated that Anjel sustained injuries to the vertebrae and spinal cord, with fractures at C2, C3 and C5 of his vertebrae. It mentioned implants at C2 and C3 levels, involving a medical device to treat fractures or instability.

Chakma was attacked by six youths, including two juveniles, on Dec 9 evening when he was out with his younger brother Michael, 21, to buy groceries in Selaqui area of the city.Anjel died at a private hospital on Dec 26 morning. Michael is the complainant in the case. Inspector Bhaskar Sah, leading the SIT probing the case, told TOI, “The autopsy report mentioned ante-mortem head injuries as the cause of death. It corroborates a probe finding that Anjel was attacked with a metal bracelet (kada) by one of the accused before he was stabbed on the lower back with a knife by another accused currently on the run.” Senior neurosurgeon Dr Mahesh Kuriyal said, “With the details of other injuries mentioned in the report, head injuries seem to be the only cause of death as a patient hardly dies of spinal cord injuries. It seems the boy suffered complications due to the head injuries.” Speaking to TOI from Tripura, Anjel’s uncle Momen Chakma demanded “equal and strict punishment for all six accused”.

Team India batter Virat Kohli is on the verge of a major milestone in international cricket ahead of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand. The veteran batter has the chance to move into second place on the all-time list of men’s international run-scorers, surpassing Sri Lanka legend Kumar Sangakkara.

Kohli trained hard with his teammates in an intense practice session ahead of the series opener in Vadodara. The three-match ODI series will start on January 11 at the BCA Stadium. It will be India’s first international assignment of 2026. After the ODIs, the team will play a five-match T20I series against New Zealand.

Virat Kohli Eyes Major ODI Record Against New Zealand

The 36-year-old needs 93 runs in the upcoming ODI series to become India’s highest run-scorer against New Zealand in the format, going past Sachin Tendulkar. Kohli has scored 1,657 runs against New Zealand from 33 innings, while Tendulkar finished with 1,750 runs in 41 innings.

The senior batter has been in outstanding touch in 50-over cricket. Since the third ODI of the Australia tour, he has registered six straight fifty-plus scores across international matches and the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

He scored an unbeaten 74 against Australia, followed by two centuries against South Africa and a 65 not out that narrowly missed becoming another hundred. Kohli then returned to the Vijay Hazare Trophy after more than a decade and produced back-to-back match-winning knocks of 131 and 77.

India Enter New Zealand ODIs High on Confidence After South Africa Series Win

India come into the New Zealand series after winning a home ODI series against South Africa by 2-1, with Virat Kohli earning the Player of the Series award.

In ODIs between India and New Zealand, the two teams have played 120 matches. India have won 62, New Zealand have won 50, seven games had no result, and one ended in a tie.

Their most recent 50-over meeting came in the 2025 Champions Trophy final, where India, led by Rohit Sharma, beat New Zealand to lift the title in Dubai.

India will also be boosted by the return of captain Shubman Gill and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, both of whom missed the previous ODI series against South Africa due to injury.
