The Detroit Pistons traded forwards Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers and two future second-round draft picks to the Washington Wizards for Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala, sources told ESPN on Sunday morning.
Friday night's NBA slate features 10 games to choose from. I am most interested in the game between the Sacramento Kings and the Philadelphia 76ers in the teams' first meeting of the season. Sacramento is 23-14 and has won four of five, while the 76ers are in the midst of a three-game losing streak and sit at 23-13. Without Joel Embiid, can Philadelphia reverse this trend? Looking forward to finding out.
Shivam Dube impressed with the bat as he guided India to a six-wicket win over Afghanistan in the first T20I encounter in Mohali on Thursday. Dube slammed a 40-ball-60 to hand India a winning start in their only T20I series ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. However, former Indian cricket team all-rounder Suresh Raina was impressed with his bowling. After the match, Raina praised him for taking the crucial wicket of Ibrahim Zadran and said that MS Dhoni will surely use him as a proper bowler for Chennai Super Kings in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign.
As much as Faf du Plessis finds MS Dhoni's leadership inspirational but when he leads Johannesburg Super Kings in the upcoming SA20, he will go about the job in his own way, with an eye on wearing the Proteas jersey in the T20 World Cup in June. While he now leads RCB in the IPL, Du Plessis remains a sentimental favourite with the Yellow Shirt fans and watching him wear the "JSK" uniform does invoke a sense of happiness in them.
The early 2000s were an interesting time for Indian cricket. From around that time, players from small cities, towns made their way into the Indian cricket team. MS Dhoni is a prime example among them. Another player who made it big despite not starting from a place with no huge cricket background was Praveen Kumar. Hailing from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, Praveen Kumar made a name for himself as a premium swing bowler. He was a handy batter too. Overall from 2007 to 2012, Praveen Kumar played six Tests, 68 ODIs and 10 T20Is.
Former India skipper MS Dhoni is widely known for being the 'cool captain'. Under his captaincy, Team India has won three ICC trophies, including the 2011 ODI World Cup. Not only in international cricket but Dhoni has immensely contributed in Chennai Super Kings' success in IPL. The 42-year-old wicketkeeper-batter is also very popular for his charismatic personality and witty nature. The best example of his humor was recently seen during an engagement party.
The Portland Thorns have been acquired by the Bhathal family, investors in the NBA's Sacramento Kings, the National Women's Soccer League team announced Wednesday.
