Indian cricket team manager R Devraj left the Champions Trophy 2025 mid-tournament after his mother’s passing on Sunday. Devraj, also Hyderabad Cricket Association’s secretary, returned to Hyderabad from Dubai upon receiving the news. It remains unclear if he will rejoin the team. Meanwhile, India scored 249-9 against New Zealand, with Shreyas Iyer’s 79 and Hardik Pandya’s 45 leading the charge. Matt Henry’s 5-42 troubled India’s batting lineup. The match determines India’s semi-final opponent, with Australia awaiting the winner and South Africa set to face the losing side. India will play in Dubai after refusing to travel to Pakistan.
