CWG 2022: Guts, glory and redemption time for cyclists, gymnasts

Incidentally, the gymnastic and the cycling team saw coaching changes recently. The earlier designated women's team coach, Rohit Jaiswal, was dropped from the CWG-bound team last week after he was accused by gymnast Aruna Budda Reddy for videographing her without consent. On the other hand, a female cyclist levelled allegations of "inappropriate behaviour" against the chief coach during a foreign exposure tour of Slovenia, leading to his sacking.

Ravindra Jadeja Meets "Legend" Brian Lara, CSK Says "Big Fan Of Your Work"

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja met former West Indies batter Brian Lara during India's second ODI of the three-match series against West Indies. The all-rounder also shared a picture of his with the former cricketer and termed him a "legend". It is worth noting that Lara played 430 international matches for West Indies, scoring 11,953 Test runs and 10,405 ODI runs. He still holds the record of registering the highest individual score -- 400 not out -- in a Test innings. On the other hand, Jadeja holds an experience of 291 international games.

'Keeper' of Indian hockey team's fortunes: PR Sreejesh ready for memorable CWG swansong

At 34 and in the twilight zone, all that is left for Sreejesh is to tick a couple of boxes in a career that has been filled with numerous ups and a few downs. A second Olympic medal wrapped around his neck with the gigantic Eiffel Tower looming over him is an ultimate dream but for now, he wants to be that safe 'check-post' in what will be his third and last Commonwealth Games. "The life was always not the same. It was always full of ups and downs. I had some really good matches as well some real bad outings. I had a bad start to my career, then gradually, I have risen up the ranks to become India's No.1 keeper," Sreejesh told PTI in an interview.

India vs West Indies, 3rd ODI: With clean sweep on mind, Team India might not tinker too much with batting line-up

India created a world record on Sunday by sealing their 12th consecutive series win in the ODI format against the West Indies -- the most against a team. In this backdrop, head coach Rahul Dravid might be tempted to try out some of his reserve players but he will have to maintain a fine balance between keeping the momentum and testing his bench strength. In the batting department, it is unlikely that Ruturaj Gaikwad would be preferred over Shubman Gill, who after two innings of 64 and 43 would not like to sit out.

Abhinav Bindra has revealed that a knock of Rahul Dravid played big role in his 2008 Olympics season that saw the 10-metre air rifle shooter claiming India's first-ever individual gold in the Games' history. Bindra also claimed that the innings of Dravid also played a big role in the history of Indian sports. During a Test match between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 2008, Dravid was batting on 18 when he played 40 consecutive dot balls to get his next run.
