Chess World Championship: D Gukesh, Ding Liren Eye Breakthrough After Series Of Draws

Half a dozen draws and some missed opportunities later, sprightly challenger D Gukesh and resolute defending champion Ding Liren would be desperate for a breakthrough when they clash in the 10th game of the World Chess Championship in Singapore on Saturday.

"Desperation To Create Controversy": Josh Hazlewood's Manager Slams Media For Misconstruing Pacer's Comments

Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood's manager Neil Maxwell has lashed out at the nation's media for blowing the player's comment out of proportion. He also blasted Fox Cricket, the official broadcaster in Australia for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Hazlewood found himself in the middle of a controversy due to his comments during Australia's Perth Test against India last month. In a press conference at the end of play on Day 3 of the match, Hazlewood was asked about how Australia would approach day four.

Star India batter Virat Kohli was dismissed for an 8-ball 7 in the first innings of the second Test against Australia in Adelaide on Friday.
