The first day of the first Test between India and West Indies belonged to spin wizard Ravichandran Ashwin. He had the West Indies batters on the run as he broke their resistance with some terrific bowling. He also achieved many feats on the day. By the second session on Day 1, Ashwin grabbed 4/49 and became the third Indian bowler to reach 700 wickets as hosts West Indies were 137 for eight.
Chethana, Anil Kumble's wife, thought he was "probably joking" when the Indian spin great, with a bandaged face and a broken jaw, decided to challenge the likes of Brian Lara during the Antigua Test in 2002. Kumble rates Lara as one of the toughest batters he had bowled to, as the Prince of Trinidad has three shots for one delivery. But Lara's feared reputation was not good enough to stop Kumble from producing one of the bravest acts in cricket, as he sent down 14 consecutive overs and dismissed the batting legend with a wired jaw.
Ravindra Jadeja is on the verge of surpassing the legendary duo of Anil Kumble and Kapil Dev to become the Indian bowlers with the most ODI wickets against West Indies. Jadeja currently has 41 wickets in 29 matches – one less than Kumble. Legendary India all-rounder Kapil Dev leads the list with 43 dismissals but with India playing three ODIs against West Indies in the upcoming tour, Jadeja has a brilliant opportunity to claim the impressive record. Overall, fast bowler Courtney Walsh has the most number of wickets (44) when it comes to ODI matches between India and West Indies.

Veteran batter Ambati Rayudu bid adieu to the Indian Premier League (IPL) earlier this week after the final between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. Rayudu, who had announced that IPL 2023 will be his last season as a player, had a fairytale ending to his career as CSK defeated GT to win a record-equalling fifth title. In his 204 league games, Rayudu scored 4348 runs and won the league six times, a joint highest record he holds alongside Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma.
Some of India's top wrestlers, including Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia, along with World Championship medallist Vinesh Phogat on Tuesday tweeted that they are going to immerse their medals in river Ganga. They complained that despite allegations of sexual harassment against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, no action is being taken against him. The wrestlers even went Haridwar to immerse their medals but later shelved that plan to consign their medals in Ganga after much coaxing from the locals.
Gujarat Titans have qualified for the 2023 IPL final after beating the Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 by 62 runs at the Narendra Modi stadium in Mumbai. The Titans put in a stunning performance with the bat, scoring 233 runs in the first innings. Shubman Gill had a spectacular 129-run knock (60b, 7x4, 10x6) that opened the floodgates for GT. Mumbai tried hard with several batters getting a good start but were eventually bowled out with 10 deliveries remaining, scoring 171 runs. Suryakumar Yadav top-scored with 61 runs (38b, 7x4, 2x6). A rematch against the Chennai Super Kings beckons, as CSK beat Gujarat in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday to solidify their spot in the final.
