Italian rider Dainese wins stage 17 as Thomas keeps Giro lead

CAORLE Italy: Italian rider Alberto Dainese edged the sprint on Wednesday’s stage 17 of the Giro d’Italia as Geraint Thomas finished in the pack to keep the leader’s pink jersey. Mark Cavendish, who announced on Tuesday that he would be retiring at the end of the season, made an error a kilometer out from the finish of the flat 197km ride from Pergine Valsugana. The 38-year-old lost his lead-in man and finished well back, most probably ending his record of winning a stage at every Giro he has ridden unless he can survive the mountains over the next three days and take Sunday’s finale in Rome. Dainese’s DSM team led the peloton around the last bend with 400m to go but it was Michael Matthews (Jayco-AlUla) who then came to the front.

Video - 46 Runs In One Over: Unthinkable Happens In T20 Franchise League In Kuwait

What's the maximum that one can score in one over? The record in ODIs is 36 runs - which has been achieved twice - once by South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs against the Netherlands in 2006 and the other time by USA's Jaskaran Malhotra against Papua New Guinea in 2021. In Tests, India's Jasprit Bumrah holds the record for most runs in an over as he tallied 35 in one over against England in 2022. In T20Is too, 36 runs is the maximum that has been scored in an over. It has happened twice - Yuvraj Singh against England in 2007 and Kieron Pollard against Sri Lanka in 2021. But what if somebody were to say that 46 runs can be scored in one over? Would you believe that?
