Pakistan Selectors Want Babar Azam To Open In Champions Trophy, Hope Star Batter Will Emulate Sachin Tendulkar

Pakistan selectors want their premier batsman Babar Azam to open in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, a thought inspired by the success legendary Sachin Tendulkar had after shifting to the pole position from middle-order. The Indian batting maestro started opening the innings after playing 69 matches down the order, and his first match as an opener was against New Zealand at Auckland in 1994.

Sasikumar Mukund returned to Davis Cup action with a fluent straight-sets victory over lower-ranked Liova Ayite Ajavon, putting India ahead 1-0 in the World Group I play-off tie against Togo, here Saturday.

The 28-year-old needed just one hour and 15 minutes to walk away with a 6-2 6-1 win in the opening singles at the DLTA Complex. Ramkumar Ramanathan will take on Togo number one Thomas Setodji in the second singles.

1 Over, 3 Wickets, 0 Runs: Saqib Mahmood Forces India To Suffer Historic Low In 4th T20I

Saqib Mahmood - that is one name which the Indian T20I cricket team is going to remember for a long time. The England pacer sent shockwaves in India camp with a terrific over that saw three stars Sanju Samson (1), Tilak Varma (0) and Suryakumar Yadav (0) fall in a space of six balls. In doing so, Mahmood became the first England player to bowl a triple-wicket maiden. He is also the first bowler in the world to achieve the feat against India in T20Is. Mahmood took the three wickets in the second over - the joint-earliest to take a triple wicket maiden in T20Is along with Jerome Taylor (vs SA in Gqeberha, 2007).
