India's Gulveer Singh lost his men's 3000m gold medal in the Asian Indoor Athletics Championships in Tehran after he was disqualified for 'lane infringement'. Gulveer had clocked 8 minutes 07.48 seconds to finish on top of the podium in the 3000m final, a non Olympic athletics event, late on Monday. He was later disqualified for lane infringement and a late night 'appeal' by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) was also rejected.
Former Indian cricket team batter Manoj Tiwary opened up about how a fight with then skipper Gautam Gambhir cut short his stint with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Tiwary was an integral part of the side between 2010 and 2013 with the batter scoring the winning boundary when the franchise claimed their first IPL title under Gambhir's captaincy. However, in an interview with Anandabazar Patrika following his retirement from domestic cricket, Tiwary said that he would have played for KKR for 2-3 more years if the spat with Gambhir did not happen and the added association with the franchise would likely have resulted in more financial gains for the cricketer.
Both the Indian men's and women's teams ended their challenge at the ongoing World Team Table Tennis Championships after defeats to South Korea and Chinese Taipei respectively on Wednesday. Moving to the quarterfinals would have ensured an Olympics 2024 quota for both Indian teams, but the dreams of earning a direct qualification through this tournament is over. However, India can still fulfill its Paris 2024 dream depending on their world ranking at the month-end. The men's team was defeated by South Korea 3-0.
The Pakistan Super League (PSL) began on February 17. Several high-profile international cricketers have pulled out of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) due to the overlapping of dates with other franchise-based tournaments and many cricket boards denying permission to their players to compete in domestic T20 competitions. All the six franchises have been hit hard with several players opting for the Bangladesh Premier League, ILT20 and SA20 leagues.
In cricket, there are several feats which are widely celebrated. Hitting six sixes in an over is one of the them. Who can forget the six sixes hit by Yuvraj Singh at the 2007 T20 World Cup off England's Stuart Broad. West Indies legend Sir Gary Sobers was the first person to achieve the feat in a major match. Playing in a County Championship for Nottinghamshire in 1968, Garfield Sobers hit Glamorgan's Malcolm Nash for six sixes in an over. Then Ravi Shastri became the first Indian to hit six sixes in an over in 1985 for Bombay against Baroda.
The Indian football team withstood a late charge by Estonia to pick up a hard-fought 4-3 win in the Turkish Women's Cup on Wednesday, the side's first victory against an European nation. Striker Manisha Kalyan scored a brace and the Chaoba Devi-coached side created a piece of history as the Indian senior women's team had never before triumphed over a team from the UEFA confederation in an official outing. The teams were locked 1-1 at half time. Manisha struck in the 17th and 81st minutes while Indumathi Kathiresan (62'), and Pyari Xaxa (79') scored the other goals for India.
