"He Got The Wicket But...": Sam Konstas Breaks Silence On Altercation With Jasprit Bumrah In Sydney

Australia's stylish opening batter Sam Konstas made plenty of fans and a few foes as well with his animatic batting in the final two matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra will not train with his coach Jan Zelezny throughout the year and seek his guidance only when required, outgoing Athletics Federation of India (AFI) president Adille Sumariwalla said on Tuesday.

Zelezny, 58, is widely considered the greatest javelin thrower of the modern era.

The 19-year-old Australia opener Sam Konstas had an eventful time as he made his debut in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25.

England Skipper Ben Stokes Undergoes Hamstring Operation

That left Stokes requiring surgery and needing a three-month absence. On Tuesday, Stokes posted a picture on Instagram of him in a car supported by a leg brace.

An inconsistent Lakshya Sen faltered in his opening match, while HS Prannoy endured a frustrating start to the season-opening Malaysia Super 100 badminton tournament as his opener against Canada's Brian Yang was suspended midway due to a leaking roof at the Axiata Arena on Tuesday.
