'Don't Think Gautam Gambhir Can Drop Virat Kohli Or Rohit Sharma': Ex-India Star's Brutal Verdict
There has been a lot of chatter around Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's future following India's disastrous loss in the Test series against Australia. Both star batters failed to score big and their performances resulted in massive criticism from both fans as well as experts. The situation was so bad that media reports claimed that there were conversations about not involving them in the future Test series. However, former Indian cricket team star Manoj Tiwary believes that head coach Gautam Gambhir will not be able to drop either Rohit or Virat and added that the decision will completely be their own.
LA Olympics In My Vision, But Taking One Step At A Time: Lovlina Borgohain
Lovlina Borgohain is eyeing a third straight summer Olympics but will take one-step at a time from here on. Lovlina, who won a bronze at Tokyo Olympics but returned empty-handed from Paris 2024, said Los Angeles 2028 was very much in her plans. “Tokyo was during COVID times. Paris was a real learning curve. I did my best and have no regrets that I could not win a medal. For every athlete, there are lessons to be learnt and I want to be wiser leading into LA,” Lovlina told SAI Media in an interaction on the sidelines of the ASMITA Women's Under-17 football final at the SAI campus in Guwahati on Sunday afternoon.
Steve Smith Predicts "Bright Future" For Young Prodigy Sam Konstas
Australia's interim captain Steven Smith expects a "bright future" for young Sam Konstas after witnessing his explosive display in the Boxing Day Test against India. In front of a sold-out crowd, Konstas walked alongside Usman Khawaja to open for Australia against a proven Indian pace express. A mixed set of emotions took over the MCG when Konstas fended off his first couple of deliveries. But all it took was one shot to change the dynamics of the entire situation. The sold-out crowd, along with those glued to their TV screens, struggled to believe what Konstas had achieved.
Yuki Bhambri-Albano Olivetti Team Exits ASB Classic With Semifinal Defeat
India's Yuki Bhambri and his French partner Albano Olivetti frittered away a solid start to make a semifinal exit from the ASB Classic in Auckland on Friday. The unseeded Indo-French combine had the momentum but the top seeded pair of Nikola Mektic and Michael Venus bounced back strongly to win 3-6 6-1 5-10 in the last-four pairs match of the ATP 250 event. Bhambri and Olivetti took 90 points each and spilt USD 10150 for their effort in the hard court tournament. Before teaming up with Olivetti, India No. 2 Bhambri gained valuable experience on the Tour partnering with Venus, entering the Australian Open well-prepared.

Mohun Bagan Super Giant will play East Bengal FC in the Kolkata Derby of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati on Saturday. The Mariners will look to extend their dominant record over their city rivals, having won eight out of the nine encounters between the two teams in ISL history, with the Red & Gold Brigade yet to record a victory against Mohun Bagan Super Giant in the competition. Mohun Bagan Super Giant are sitting comfortably at the top of the table, boasting an impressive record of 22 goals scored against East Bengal FC. Their attacking unit, led by Dimitrios Petratos, Manvir Singh, Liston Colaco, Jamie Maclaren, and Jason Cummings has been one of the most relentless in the league, with a goal-scoring average of 2.4 goals per game against their city rivals, their second-highest against any opponent.
Eyeing Next Year's T20 World Cup, Pakistan Launches Special Preparatory Programme
Pakistan has started its preparations for next year's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka by launching a player's improvement, scouting and grooming programme called 'strike force', which will begin in Lahore from January 13. Initially the programme, headed by former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq, was to focus on scouting for young talent with the potential to develop into power-hitters to suit the demands of the shortest format of the game. "Initially that was the idea, but, due to logistical challenges we decided to launch the strike force programme by holding a 90-day specialised camp for 25 players who have either already played for Pakistan, done well in domestic or under-19 level or in T20 leagues in the country," Abdullah Khurrum, who heads the PCB's domestic cricket department, said.
Virat Kohli Named As Suspect In "Mr. Fix-It" Row By Ex-India Teammate: "No Smoke..."
The recently-concluded Test series between India and Australia had its fair share of controversies with a number of them revolving around the Indian cricket team dressing room. With India losing the series 3-1 and failing to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years, there were many reports of a rift in the team and skipper Rohit Sharma's lack of form did not help matters. A report in the Indian Express claimed that a senior player, who called himself "Mr. Fix-It" pitched himself as an interim captain. Former India star Robin Uthappa took to social media to criticise the unnamed cricketer for taking a selfish stand. In a recent interview, he broke his silence on the rant and explained what he felt about the matter.
