'Avinash Sable Can Train With Me If He Wants': Steeplechase Great Ezekiel Kemboi

One of the greatest steeplechase runners of all time, Ezekiel Kemboi, has invited Avinash Sable for sessions with him at his base and advised the Indian star to undergo high-altitude training in places such as Kenya and Ethiopia to build endurance. Kemboi has two Olympic medals and four World Championship titles under his belt. Sable finished 11th in the Men's 3000m steeplechase final of the Paris Olympics.

IPL 2025 Auction: "Flawed" - Australia Great's Brutal Verdict On Sunrisers Hyderabad Buying Ishan Kishan For Rs 11.25 Crore

Former Australian cricket team star Tom Moody was left a bit surprised by Sunrisers Hyderabad paying Rs 11.25 Crore to buy Ishan Kishan in the IPL 2025 Auction. The wicket-keeper batter, who was released by Mumbai Indians, was left out of the BCCI central contracts and has not played for India in the past year. However, Sunrisers went hard for his services and ended up breaching the Rs 10-crore mark to add him to their side for IPL 2025. Moody said that with SRH already having Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma as a set opening duo, Kishan's addition was 'flawed' in his opinion.

Sunil Gavaskar Lauds Virat Kohli's Stance Adjustment For Success In Perth Test

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels a subtle adjustment to his batting stance in the second innings of the Perth Test helped Virat Kohli neutralise the Australian attack and rediscover his vintage form. Kohli arrived in Australia after a lean run of form across formats in recent months. His struggles against spin on turning tracks raised doubts about his spot in the team. However, he silenced his detractors by scoring his 30th Test ton in the first Test at Perth. It was his first hundred after the 121 against the West Indies at Port of Spain in July 2023.

New Zealand Pacer Nathan Smith To Make Debut In First England Test

New Zealand put their historic 3-0 series win in India behind them Wednesday as they selected pace bowler Nathan Smith to make his debut against England in the first Test. The 26-year-old Smith will start his Test career on the seam-friendly Hagley Oval pitch in Christchurch, far removed from the Indian playing surfaces where spin dominated. New Zealand captain Tom Latham confirmed that a fit-again Kane Williamson would return for the Test beginning Thursday, meaning there was no room in the batting line-up for Will Young, who was the player-of-the-series in India.
