India vs Zimbabwe: With KL Rahul back as opener, Shubman Gill might have to come in at No. 3

With the T20 World Cup being paramount and Gill not exactly in the scheme of things as far as shortest format is concerned, he might be handed a number 3 slot in order to ensure that his captain gets enough game-time before the continental championship in the UAE, starting August 27. This provided all three are fit and available for all the games in the series. While there will be no Rahul Dravid heading the team of support staff for the short three-match series, starting August 18 in Harare, NCA head VVS Laxman is almost certain to follow the blue-print set by the head coach.

Meditation helps overcome stress: PV Sindhu

Badminton star PV Sindhu said on Sunday that she has been practicing mediation for a long time as it helps overcome stress. "I have been practicing meditation for a long time and always felt a relief as I connected very well within through meditation," she said while virtually participating in the concluding session of the International Rising With Kindness Youth Summit. The three-day youth summit organised by Heartfulness came to an end on Sunday at Kanha Shanti Vanam, the headquarters of Heartfulness in the outskirts of Hyderabad. "Meditation helps stress go off. I wish the youth don't forget to take to meditation," said Sindhu in her first public appearance after winning the gold medal at the recent Commonwealth Games 2022. She announced on Saturday that she was out of the world championships for the next few weeks due to a stress fracture.

"He Won't Give You Too Many Wickets": Former India Batter On Ravindra Jadeja

Former India batter Aakash Chopra feels Ravindra Jadeja won't be a potent wicket-taker for the team during the T20 World Cup. Jadeja is a part of India's 15-member squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, and is likely to feature at the T20 World Cup. While analysing India's spin-bowling options for the T20 World Cup, Chopra said that Jadeja is a "complete package" and will surely be in the playing XI. However, Chopra said that the all-rounder will struggle to take wickets at the marquee event in Australia later this year.
