When you talk about India, the first sport that comes to mind is obviously cricket. Then, possibly badminton, wrestling and hockey. The world's most popular sport – football – does not show up on the radar as often.
England opening batter Jason Roy said the victory over Netherlands in the three-match ODI series was a "great benchmark" but his team should be prepared for the upcoming Test match against India. An unbeaten ton by Jason Roy and an unbeaten knock of 86 runs by Buttler helped England chase the target of 245 runs in just 30.1 overs and at a loss of only two wickets, at the VRA Cricket Ground, Amstelveen. With this win, England white-washed the three-match ODI series with a lead of 3-0.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) media rights for the 2023-27 cycle created a lot of hype recently as it was sold for over Rs 48,000 crore.

England white-ball vice-captain Jos Buttler is in the form of his life. After a dream Indian Premier League season with Rajasthan Royals, the wicketkeeper-batter marked his return to national colours by smashing an unbeaten 162 to help England post a world record ODI score of 498/4 in the first match against Netherlands and then following it up with an unbeaten 86 in the third game to help his team sweep the series 3-0. During the 3rd ODI in Amstelveen on Wednesday, Buttler was once again in imperious touch, hitting seven fours and five sixes in his 64-ball knock. Such was the form Buttler was in on Wednesday, that even when Netherlands pacer Paul van Meekeren bowled a double-bouncing delivery -- with the second bounce outside the pitch -- it didn't stop the 31-year-old from chasing it down and sending the ball into the stands.
Contract worth almost 30-lakh reveals wide access to Stimac's teamNEW DELHI: It was bad enough that astrology was thought of as crucial in today's modern-day football. A company was duly contracted to probably help decide team formations based on favourable planetary alignments to help India qualify for next year's Asian Cup. Now documents accessed by TOI reveal that all of it may have been a cover for something else altogether, serious enough for a forensic audit to be initiated within the All India Football Federation (AIFF). Signed on April 29, 2022, by AIFF general secretary Kushal Das on the agreement to "assist Head Coach of National Team, Men," the AIFF had "appointed Nyassa Astrocorp (GST No. 07BBAPS4367L1Z7), for a fee of Rs 24 lakhs plus GST for a period of three months from April 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022. Bhupesh Sharma, of Nyassa Astrocorp, is the co-signatory to the agreement.
Madhya Pradesh at the Chinnaswamy Stadium has left many intrigued. It perhaps gave in-form Mumbai batsman Sarfaraz Khan a 'life' when he survived a close lbw appeal off MP seamer Gaurav Yadav. Over the next four days, it could have a greater impact on the fate of the final.
Umran Malik warmed the bench throughout the India-South Africa T20I series. The fast bowler, who impressed with his speed at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, is also part of the India squad for the Ireland Tour later this month. Malik finished as the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the IPL 2022 with 22 scalps in 14 games. Many former players including the great Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan have said that they have rarely seen such an exciting prospect in Indian cricket. It remains to be seen whether the 22-year-old Malik gets a chance in the India playing XI soon.
