Rooney has been a professional cricket photographer since 2005 - working for Getty Images for the past 19 years, and covering more than 40 Australian Tests.

Rashid Khan himself is a more than adept cook. Two years ago, he'd cooked up one of Afghanistan's most beloved dishes, rosh - a salted lamb and potato stew - for Ramadan, for his no doubt homesick team-mates. We also learned in the course of the video that David Miller can't cook, but he can certainly braai.

Poor Kumar Kartikeya was given a hard time by his Rajasthan Royals cohorts and content creator Taran Singh, who pretended to be annoyed, claiming he had been asked to interview Kumar Sangakkara but had to settle for Kartikeya instead. Behind the scenes Kartikeya's team-mate Yudhvir Singh and Royals fielding coach Dishant Yagnik were directing proceedings, telling Taran to ask Kartikeya to put away the ball he was holding. Taran does that, telling Kartikeya to "keep it professional". At this point, an upset Kartikeya suggested they stop the interview if Taran was not in the mood. He removed his mike and started walking away before he was accosted by Yagnik and Yudhvir and the prank was revealed.

"I've never made biryani, but I love to eat it," Abhishek says. "There's rice in it, fried onions, and cinnamon, spices that Hyderabad is famous for." We'd have picked the protein of choice first, but all these are essential, of course.

Abhishek is playing his seventh season with Sunrisers, so naturally he was asked to pick other Hyderbad favourites, starting with his his top three cricketers: VVS Laxman, Mohammed Siraj and Ambati Rayudu.

On our "Would You Rather" show, we asked Matthew Hayden if he'd rather: Admit Justin Langer was a better runner than him or that England won the "moral Ashes" in 2023? It was a no-brainer for Hayden, who said: "JL [Langer] was not a good runner as me. I'm just not admitting that."

Ashwin keeps up a steady prattle (or maybe it's commentary), admitting he started the game off off a little too aggressively, joking about how seriously he takes his skills, worrying about whether Gukesh has laid a trap for him. Gukesh, in response, mumbles some encouraging words to Ashwin about his game.

Ashwin is playing for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025. CSK will meet Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at home tonight, March 28.

In this video, Harbhajan Singh asks Williamson to guess what the word "shatak" [hundred] means in Hindi, and gives him the clue: "How many you have? You have too many." To which Williamson guesses: "Children?" He also offers up "wickets" as an answer, possibly trying to impress the fellow offspinner with his 73 international wickets.

Although in hindsight all that dancing and acting inside a phone screen seems to have been a dress-rehearsal for the big screen. Warner is making his debut in Indian movies with a cameo in the new Telugu film Robinhood, releasing this week. In the movie trailer, Warner steps off a helicopter while licking a lollipop.

Yup, flying!

Kishan didn't have a great 2024 IPL and has been out of the India team since November 2023, even losing his BCCI central contract in that period, for seemingly not giving priority to domestic cricket. He was released by Mumbai Indians, and SRH picked him up for Rs 11.25 crore in the 2025 auction.

After his century - which contributed to SRH recording the second-highest innings total in the IPL - Kishan talked about how he's been preparing for the season, what he's been focusing on and what he's left by the wayside.

"Lots and lots of talks are there in the world. You don't have to focus on that, because that doesn't really matter. Just keep enjoying, believing in yourself. You know how you are, you know you are the best and you just go and show them what you can do."
