Suryakumar Yadav's Ultimate Praise For "Great" Rohit Sharma On Equalling His World Record

Indian cricket team batter Suryakumar Yadav made history by equalling Rohit Sharma's sensational record of scoring four T20I centuries during the match against South Africa on Thursday. It was a brilliant knock from the current skipper as he guided his team to victory and after the match, he had an honest reaction to the massive achievement. He recognised the magnitude of what he has achieved and even called Rohit a 'great of the game'. “It feels good to equal Rohit Sharma's 4 centuries, he's a great of the game. It's a good achievement. Hoping to continue performing consistently. I'm very happy,” Suryakumar said in a video released by BCCI on social media.

Ritika Sajdeh's First Social Media Reaction After Rohit Sharma's Removal As Mumbai Indians Captain Has Clear CSK Connection

Since Friday, one news that has been grabbing the headlines in Indian cricket is Hardik Pandya replacing Rohit Sharma as the Mumbai Indians skipper. For 11 seasons, Mumbai Indians were led by Rohit Sharma, during which time the side rose to be one of the strongest ever teams in the IPL. The announcement from Mumbai Indians came after Hardik Pandya made a return to the franchise last month, following a high-profile trade from Gujarat Titans, whom he led in the past two seasons. Ritika Sajdeh, Rohit Sharma's wife, has now given her first reaction after the change of captaincy. It came on a social media post from Chennai Super Kings.

Junior Men's Hockey World Cup: India Lose 1-3 To Spain In Bronze Medal Playoff

India's hopes of redeeming some pride in the junior men's hockey World Cup remained only a dream as they lost 1-3 to Spain in the bronze medal playoff on Saturday. Goals from Nicolas Alvarez (25th and 51st minute) and Petchame Pau (40th) sealed the deal in Spain's favour as Sunil Jojo's 28th-minute penalty-corner strike was the only saving grace for the two-time junior world champion Indians, whose perennial frailty with penalty corner conversions came to the fore yet again on Saturday. This was India's second defeat to Spain in this edition of the tournament, having lost to the European team 1-4 in the pool stages. India had also finished fourth in the last edition of the tournament in 2021 in Bhubaneswar. Spain, following the win against the Uttam Singh-led side, equalled their best showing in the global tournament, adding to the bronze they had won in the 2005 edition in Rotterdam, beating India 6-5 on penalties.

The Bangladesh cricket team is currently on a sensational run of form during the ongoing U19 Asia Cup 2023.

However, it is rare that one individual's kindness and unflinching support could transform the lives of hundreds of children suffering from Cerebral Palsy (CP).
