Abishek Porel Scores Ranji Century After Bail in Rape Allegations, Shows Emotion
Abishek Porel, Bengal wicketkeeper-batter, scored a century in the Ranji Trophy against Delhi, marking his return to competitive cricket after the IPL 2026 season. His emotional reaction followed weeks after being granted bail in a rape and criminal intimidation case filed by a medical student from Karnataka, who alleged a prior relationship and promised marriage. Porel's performance helped Bengal take a strong position in the match, while the Cricket Association of Bengal stated his legal matters are personal and separate from the sport.
