Sourav Ganguly's Gesture Amid Row Over Kolkata Rape Horror Comment Splits Internet

Responding to criticism of him undermining the gravity of the horrific rape and murder case of doctor Moumita Debnath in Kolkata, former India captain and Kolkata resident Sourav Ganguly has now chosen to show his stance in a different manner. Ganguly - who had been slammed by many for allegedly calling the rape and murder a 'stray incident' - had stated on Saturday that his words had been taken out of context. Now, Ganguly has blacked out his DP on social media platform 'X', in apparent solidarity, but has prompted further varied reactions.

CAS Gives Reasons For Rejecting Vinesh Phogat's Appeal, Says "No Tolerance.."

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has ruled that athletes will have to ensure that they remain below their weight limit and no exception can be provided under any circumstance, while giving reasons for its rejection of Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat's appeal against her disqualification from the Paris Olympics final. An ad-hoc division of the CAS had on August 14 rejected her appeal against a gut-wrenching disqualification from the final for being 100gm overweight, a decision that evoked a sharp reaction from the Indian Olympic Association (IOA). The CAS on Monday published a detailed decision, furnishing reasons why Vinesh's appeal was rejected.

"Don't Want To Take Unnecessary Pressure": India Star On Rishabh Pant's Return

Indian cricket team wicket-keeper batter Dhruv Jurel had a good outing in the Test series against England earlier in 2024 with 190 runs in four innings across three Tests. However, with India taking on Bangladesh in a 2-match Test series, Jurel's position in the side remains uncertain. Rishabh Pant had a good showing in the T20 World Cup 2024 and with his inclusion for the Duleep Trophy, the selectors have shown great trust in him. KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan have also staked their claim for a spot in the India squad with Jurel finding himself in a tough fight. However, the youngster remains unfazed by the challenges and he said that he wants to take one day at a time without any kind of "unnecessary pressure".

Not Rohit Sharma Or Virat Kohli, This Indian Batter "Will Be A Massive Challenge" For Australian Bowlers, Feels Nathan Lyon

Ace off-spinner Nathan Lyon has already started his homework on rising batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal with England spinner Tom Hartley's inputs on the southpaw safely stored in his memory bank ahead of the five-Test Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia starting from November 22. Jaiswal, who scored a century on debut in the West Indies last year, scored an astounding 712 runs in the five Test series against England at home earlier this year. But the pace and bounce on offer on Australian tracks will pose a different challenge for the Mumbaikar.

Mohammed Shami Not Certain For Australia Tour Too? Jay Shah Says "Decision Will Be Taken After..."

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah said that the decision on pacer Mohammed Shami's participation in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy away from home later this year will be taken after the report from National Cricket Academy (NCA). India fast bowler Mohammed Shami is making significant strides in his recovery from an ankle injury that has kept him out of cricket since the ODI World Cup last November. The expectation is that he will be ready to participate in India's home season, starting with a Test series against Bangladesh in September. Shami is currently in the final stages of his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.

"Need To Leave It To...": Neeraj Chopra On Not Breaching The 90m Mark Yet

Having missed out on breaching the elusive 90m mark at the Paris Games, two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra has left that widely debated matter "to the gods". After all, Chopra has been chasing that milestone for years and the wait got longer when his only legal throw of 89.45m got him a silver at the Paris Olympics earlier this month. A back-to-back medal at the Summer Games was a monumental feat for an Indian athlete but it was way short of Arshad Nadeem's sensational 92.97m that comfortably secured a historic gold for the Pakistani.
