"Body Blows Motivated Me To Do Better": Cheteshwar Pujara On Gabba Test

Indian batter Cheteshwar Pujara said that the body blows that he endured during the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Brisbane Cricket Ground last year motivated him to do better and his focus was to earn a victory or a draw for his side despite the pain. The Border-Gavaskar 2020-21 Trophy in Australia was a historic one for India. During the series, the side registered their lowest test score ever in the first Test at Adelaide as they were bundled out for just 36. As the series went on, the team also faced injuries which led to the absence of experience, big-time players.

Ashwin bats for more conversation on racism, Rahane recalls Siraj incident at SCG

Ravichandran Ashwin has endorsed the idea of having more conversation on racism whether it's in the sports field or in the world in general and also feels that better parenting and awareness about the subject can bring the change. There have been several instances in the past where cricket, which is called a gentleman's game, has been rocked by racist slurs and comments that have brought the sport to disrepute. Many have been punished for their offences as well but it keeps taking place from time to time.

Cricket adapts to changing post-pandemic landscape

Throughout cricket, when the person batting has scored 50 runs, it is normally the cue for applause, the strength of which will be according to the manner and style of the innings. In former days of league cricket in northern England, when the professional reached 50, it was customary for a club official to go around the spectators with a box asking for small change to be proffered in recognition of the feat.

"One Of The Best Catches...": England Cricketer Rob Keogh Takes A One-Handed Wonder Catch In T20 Blast. Watch

A stupendous fielding effort rarely goes unnoticed on the cricket field. However, what England's Rob Keogh achieved for Northamptonshire Steelbacks in their T20 Blast match against Leicestershire Foxes was much more than that. His one-handed effort to dismiss Rishi Patel off Chinaman bowler Freddie Heldreich was so brilliant that the Vitality T20 Blast tweeted: "Quite possibly one of the best catches you'll ever see @RobKeogh91, take a bow." The catch happened in the 12th over of the match. With Leicestershire chasing a huge target of 228, their No. 5 right-handed batter Rishi Patel went for an expansive hoick off Heldreich.

'You can't just be fooling around': HS Prannoy on how the Indian team pulled out all the stops to win the Thomas Cup

Thomas Cup victory is one for the ages. Singles badminton in India has made itself a force to be reckoned with in the 21st century, but a top rung team event was never really seen as one that could be won outright. The experts don't shy away from admitting it, which is why the 2022 Thomas Cup win has been put on a pedestal. India are the men's world champions in a sense. The win over 14-time champions Indonesia set that statement in stone. But what really changed to inspire the team to do what very few anticipated -- defeating Malaysia in the quarterfinals, Denmark in the semis and Indonesia in the final? While the doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have been talked about as the story of the tournament, the foundation of that fiery attitude was laid by senior pros Kidambi Srikanth and HS Prannoy, who led from the front: Srikanth won all his six matches, Prannoy all his five. Prannoy spoke to TimesofIndia.com about that experience in a special interview. Why Prannoy's feat (5 wins in 5 games) has a bit more steel to it is because of the fact that he brought India back from the brink of defeat twice -- once in the quarters and then in the semis. On both occasions, India won 3-2 to book a place in their maiden Thomas Cup final.
