Newcastle have asked about Rennes winger Kamaldeen Sulemana.
Right-handed batter Shubman Gill was looking in fine touch and he raced to his fifty in the first ODI against West Indies. The 22-year-old was looking in sublime touch, and the West Indies' bowlers had no answers to stop him. However, Gill's innings came to a premature end after he was found short at the non-striker's end, and Windies skipper Nicholas Pooran made a direct hit, and hence the right-hander had to walk back after scoring 64 runs.
While a nation was asleep, the 24-year-old man from Panipat took to the field in Eugene (USA) to book his place in the finals of the men’s javelin throw competition. Neeraj threw his spear to an impressive distance of 88.39m in his very first attempt during the qualification stage to sail into the final with consummate ease. The Indian is poised to finish among the medallists on early Sunday morning (IST) when the top-12 finalists line up at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field.
Prasidh Krishna is one pacer who really excites the Indian fans as he has the ability to clock good speeds and rattle the opposition batters. He has a good bouncer at his disposal and this is the main reason why he manages to take wickets at regular intervals. However, former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris believes that the next 12 months would be big for the development of the Indian pacer.
Indian athlete Annu Rani on Saturday finished seventh in the women's javelin throw final at the World Athletics Championships with a best throw of 61.12m. Competing in her second consecutive final in the showpiece, Rani achieved her best of the day in her second attempt but failed to cross 60m mark in other five throws on Friday. Her series read 56.18m, 61.12m, 59.27m, 58.14m, 59.98m and 58.70m. She has a season's and personal best of 63.82m.
Shikhar Dhawan made a well crafted 97 while Shubmam Gill made a classy 64 in his ODI comeback before India held their nerves to pull off a three-run win over the West Indies in the series opener. Openers Dhawan (97 off 99 balls) and Gill (64 off 53) shared an 119-run stand before the West Indies fought back to restrict India to 308 for seven. The West Indies needed 15 off the final over for a record chase at Queens Park Oval but Mohammed Siraj was able to stop a rampaging Romario Shepherd (38 not out off 25).
India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has struggled with injuries and fitness over the last few years, leading to doubts about whether he will be able to bowl again on a regular basis and about his place in the national team. However, over the last few months, he has shut out any questions about form or fitness. First, he led debutants Gujarat Titans to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 title, before making a strong comeback for India. He impressed in the T20I series against Ireland, before captaining the country against Ireland. He then played the T20I and ODI series against England, and was named 'Player of the Series' in the 50-over format.
