"Thought I Was Cursed In India": Australia Star On How He Turned Around IPL 2022 Campaign After Tough Start

Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh had a memorable Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 campaign with Delhi Capitals, even as the franchise failed to make the play-offs. Marsh scored 251 runs from 8 matches, with two half-centuries and was one of DC's better players in the season. In recent seasons, Marsh has struggled with injuries whenever he has played in the IPL, and this year too, he came in to the tournament nursing an injury and after finally playing a match, he contracted COVID-19.

Ashish Nehra "Tactically One Of The Best Coaches In The IPL": Gary Kirsten

Gujarat Titans ended a magnificent debut Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign by winning the trophy, and among the key people behind their success was head coach Ashish Nehra. Gary Kirsten, the Titans' batting coach and mentor, was all praise for his colleague after the season ended and hailed him as one of the best tactical coaches in the league. Kirsten, of course, knows Nehra very well from his days as India's head coach. Kirsten was the coach, and Nehra a part of the squad, when India won the 2011 World Cup.

Paralympian Praveen Kumar wins gold in able-bodied athletics meet

athletics saw history being created on Saturday when Tokyo Paralympian high-jumper Praveen Kumar clinched a sensational gold at the 20th National Federation Cup Junior U20 championships in Gujarat’s Nadiad to become the first para-athlete from the country to finish on top of the podium in an able-bodied competition. Praveen cleared the height of 2.06m in his second attempt to win the gold in a strong field of 16 able-bodied high jumpers. This was the second time Praveen had competed in an able-bodied athletics meet, after his creditable sixth-place finish at the senior national Federation Cup held in Calicut in April. At the meet, the para-athlete from Greater Noida’s Jewar, had recorded his best jump of 2.05m before he twisted his ankle.

South Africa mindful of Indian fighting spirit

South Africa's limited-overs captain Temba Bavuma had expressed his desire to play and lead a franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Bavuma termed it as his "fantasy". Leading an IPL team might be Bavuma's desire, but leading his national side against India for a five-match T20I series from June 9 is a reality. To make sure the reality turns out to be a rewarding one, Bavuma has been sweating it out at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the national Capital - the venue for the first T20 International between the two teams. The next four will be played in Cuttack (June 12), Visakhapatnam (June 14), Rajkot (June 17) and Bengaluru (June 19).

India vs South Africa: Temba Bavuma's boys 'burn it out' in Delhi

But then there is the call of duty. The South African cricket team has been hitting the nets regularly at Kotla (Arun Jaitley Stadium) despite the city feeling like an incinerator. Their objective is to win the five-match T20I series against India. The IPL stars took it light here on Saturday, but the others toiled hard in the heat. The paradox was evident: Quinton de Kock shadow-practiced his golfing skills with his cricket bat, while another opener in the South African squad, Reeza Hendricks, and skipper Temba Bavuma sweated out.

Ravi Shastri Reveals How Javed Miandad Sledged Him By Mentioning Audi Car During India-Pakistan World Championship 1985 Final

No cricket fan can forget the season Ravi Shastri had in 1985 as he helped the Sunil Gavaskar-led India win the 1985 Benson and Hedges World Championship. In the entire tournament, Shastri registered 182 runs and also took eight wickets. However, he reserved his best for the final against Pakistan. With the ball in hand, he scalped one wicket as he dismissed Tahir Naqqash. And then he went on to play an unbeaten 63-run knock to take India over the line by eight wickets.

CSK's 'chin up' attitude the key to their success in IPL, says Devon Conway

Chennai Super Kings batter Devon Conway has attributed his side's performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years to "keeping your chin up" attitude, which he felt doesn't allow emotions to get the better of players even after big losses. The New Zealander added that despite the fact that the four-time IPL champions couldn't hit their stride in this year's edition of the tournament, there was no despondency in the dressing room, as everyone kept a smile on their face, not allowing defeats to affect them much.

Perfection in Paris: Iga Swiatek's unbeaten run fetches her second French Open title

Iga Swiatek did one better. The 21-year-old went right ahead and rained a storm of winners to claim her second French Open crown. As Coco Gauff’s return floated over the baseline a little after tea time on Saturday, Swiatek whipped around and faced her box before going down on the clay. Her face buried in the palm of her hand. The Pole’s team – coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, mental coach Daria Abramowicz, trainer Maciej Ryszczuk and her Olympian dad Tomasz Swiatek -- rose to their feet to applaud the most dominant player in tennis today. At the other end of the packed-to-the rafter venue, Gauff, who was in her first Grand Slam final, dropped heavily on a courtside seat, sobbing silently. Tears ran down the 18-year-old’s cheeks unabated.
