Bizarre things happen in sports. Same is with cricket. Sometimes such incidents occur which is strange and hilarious at the same time. In a video that is going viral on social media, one such incident occurs. The incident is from Indian Street Premier League. In the video it can be seen that a batter hits a powerful shot towards mid-wicket, but what follows is just stunning. The fielder stationed at the boundary saves a sure-shot four by leaping in the air and keeping the ball inside the boundary line. However, that was not the end of the story. The fielder comes back and throws the ball towards the bowler.
India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah tormented Australia batters during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, picking up 32 wickets across five Tests. And it seems as if the "nightmare" of facing him has continued for all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, who narrated a hilarious story about an unexpected challenge he is facing while playing backyard cricket with his four-year-old nephew. Speaking to cricket.com.au, Marsh revealed that his nephew had picked up Bumrah's action, and joked that seeing him do so continued Marsh's nightmare of facing India's pace talisman.
Ravichandran Ashwin may be retired from international cricket, but he remains an astute reader and watcher of the game, and provides his analysis on a number of things. In his latest video, Ashwin has implied that despite India's thumping 4-1 T20I series victory over England, all may not be rosy. Ashwin pointed out a flaw in the batting of captain Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson, stating that they're repeatedly getting out playing similar shots and on similar deliveries. To drive home his point, Ashwin even made a hilarious Rajinikanth movie reference.
Australian spinner Nathan Lyon feels that despite their side's success over recent years, there are still important milestones to be reached before they can be considered a truly great team. Ahead of the second Test against Sri Lanka taking place in Colombo on Wednesday, Lyon stated that he believes that the current lot is still a long way from achieving "greatness" as a Test team. Despite Australia's outstanding summer of red-ball cricket, where they dominated India at home to reclaim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade and secured their biggest-ever win in the subcontinent with an innings and 242-run victory over Sri Lanka in Galle-Lyon still holds the belief that the team is far from being considered up there.
Fifteen-year-old Bengaluru shooter Jonathan Antony delivered a grand performance on the biggest domestic stage when he outwitted Paris Olympics bronze-medallist Sarabjot Singh and the more fancied Saurabh Chaudhary to clinch the 10m air pistol gold at the National Games here on Monday.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Smriti Mandhana said on Monday that the Women's Premier League has changed the "conversations" surrounding women cricket and she hoped to see similar success stories in other disciplines. Mandhana had led the RCB to the WPL triumph last year, the team's first title in franchise cricket. “We used to play in the Big Bash League etc even before the WPL, and everyone used to ask us when we would have our own league, and the WPL came and changed the conversations around women's cricket,” Mandhana said during unveiling the report — Sports-Forward Nation.
Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa edged out world champion Gukesh Dommaraju in a nail-biting tiebreaker to decide the winner of the Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2025, and legendary Indian grandmaster Viswanathan Anand was all praise for the duo. However, Anand couldn't help himself putting in a cheeky response, reminding everyone of his own achievements as well. While Anand gave due appreciation to 19-year-old Praggnanandhaa and 18-year-old Gukesh, as the former came from behind to win the tiebreaker 2-1, he also put in a humorous tweet about his own success at the tournament.
