Travis Head Reveals Embarrassing Secret Behind Abhishek Sharma's 'Note' Celebration

Sunrisers Hyderabad's attacking opening batter, Abhishek Sharma, put a marquee display of batting blitzkrieg against Punjab Kings on Saturday. The left-handed batter slammed a mind-boggling 141 runs off 55 balls to help his side chase down a target of 246 runs with 2 overs to spare. Pressure was understandably high on the Sunrisers after the franchise had lost four back-to-back matches. But Abhishek's pyrotechniques helped the team lift itself from the bottom of the points table. As Abhishek reached the triple-digit score, he also pulled out a note from his pocket, the secret of which was later revealed by his opening partner, Travis Head.

Australian Star Ellyse Perry Backs England To Bounce Back Under Charlotte Edwards As Coach

Australian all-rounder Ellyse Perry feels that arch-rivals England can bounce back under their new head coach and former batter Charlotte Edwards taking over, saying that the team is a "group of champions". England Women lost all seven games on their multi-format Ashes tour of Australia earlier this year - a result that was followed by head coach Jon Lewis and captain Heather Knight both stepping down from their roles. Perry, however, is confident that come the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup in India later this year, England will turn the page with new head coach Charlotte Edwards taking over.

Oscar Piastri on pole in Bahrain for his 50th F1 start

SAKHIR, Bahrain: McLaren’s Oscar Piastri took pole position in Bahrain ahead of his 50th Formula One start with George Russell putting his Mercedes alongside the Australian on the front row for Sunday’s race. Piastri’s championship-leading teammate Lando Norris qualified only sixth, a potentially significant blow in the title battle although closest rival Max Verstappen will start seventh for Red Bull. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc qualified third and Mercedes’ Italian rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli fourth with Alpine’s Pierre Gasly fifth. Piastri, who was also fastest in two out of three practice sessions, lapped the floodlit Sakhir circuit with a best time of one minute 29.841 seconds, 0.168 faster than Russell. The pole was his second of the season and his career. “I’ve felt confident out there pretty much all weekend,” said Piastri, who has a great chance to slash the 13-point championship gap to Norris — who leads Verstappen by just one after three races. “The others caught up a little bit closer than what I wanted but I still delivered the laps when it mattered, which was the most important thing at the end.” Russell said he was shocked to finish so close to Piastri after struggling for grip in the afternoon’s final practice. “I think if anybody said we’d have been within half a second of the McLarens we’d have taken it because we would have thought that would have been P3 on the grid.
