Joe Root, former England cricket team captain, became just the 14th batter to score 10,000 Test runs when he reached the landmark during his match-winning innings of 115* against New Zealand at Lord's on Sunday. The 31-year-old Root is the only one among that select group of run-scorers to still be playing Test cricket. Indian cricket team legend Sunil Gavaskar was the first to enter the elite club.

From Lasith Malinga to Paul Adams, cricket, over the years, has seen numerous out-of-the-box bowling actions. Moving away from real life, and onto the big screen, one bowling action that had all of India talking at one point of time was that of the character 'Goli', played by actor Daya Shankar Pandey, in Aamir Khan starrer 'Lagaan'. In the movie, 'Goli' bamboozles his English counterparts by rotating his arm multiple times before finally releasing the ball.

Mohammed Siraj put on his cap for his debut Test it Melbourne in a highly-successful campaign Down Under, when India registered a memorable 2-1 series win, all he was thinking of was his father, who had passed away a few days ago, thinking his 'dad should've been here'. Siraj had a memorable debut as he claimed 3/37 in the second innings to help India to an eight-wicket win against Australia. The fast bowler would script memorable figures that would witness him claim 13 wickets in the series, out of which five came in the final Test at the iconic Gaba when India breached Australia's almost impenetrable fortress. Siraj would eventually finish as the third-highest wicket-taker of the series from three games with only Pat Cummins and fellow RCB pacer Josh Hazlewood leading the tally ahead of the Indian. That series, however, was a defining moment in Siraj's career given the fact that he lost his dad just ahead of the series. Alongside his family travails, he was also battling with racism and the stringent Covid-19 protocols that were in place, the report on the RCB website said. Siraj opened up about one of the toughest and yet one of the most memorable moments of his life after the series. "It was really tough for me. My dad was ill during the IPL too. But family members hadn't told me that the matter was serious. I got to know about his condition when I landed in Australia," Siraj was quoted as saying by RCB in an article on their official website.
Imanol Idiakez ya es oficialmente el nuevo entrenador del Leganés después de que el club pepinero confirmase este domingo que no activaría la renovación unilateral que figuraba en el contrato de Mehdi Nafti, ya ex técnico de los blanquiazules. Idiakez era actualmente el segundo entrenador de Unai Emery en el Villarreal, club al que llegó después de que precisamente el Leganés le rondase para ser su técnico tras el descenso a Segunda en 2020. El de Donosti finalmente se decidió por enrolarse en el proyecto del Submarino Amarillo. Ahora se desliga de los castellonenses (le restaba un año de contrato) para, esta vez sí, dirigir la nave blanquiazul.
