Who Is Harjas Singh? Indian-Origin Batter Who Guided Australia To U-19 World Cup Win

Harjas Singh slammed a brilliant half-century to help Australia lift the U-19 World Cup title for the fourth time on Sunday. Harjas hit 55 off 64 balls in the final against India, laying the foundation of Australia's 79-run win in Benoni, South Africa. Harjas, who mustered just 49 runs in his six previous outings prior to the final, delivered the goods when his team needed it the most. Chasing a target of 254, India were bowled out for 174, with Mahli Beardman and Raf MacMillan bagging three wickets each.

"He Is A Freak": Michael Clarke's Ultimate Praise For India Star

Former Australia captain Michael Clarke was all praise for India's star pacer Jasprit Bumrah post the bowler's terrific show against England in the second Test in Visakhapatnam. Bumrah picked a total of nine wickets in the game while conceding 91 runs. After the stellar performance, the 30-year-old leapfrogged Pat Cummins, Kagiso Rabada and Ravichandran Ashwin to become only the fourth India bowler to attain number one position in the Test bowling rankings. Meanwhile, Bumrah also became the first-ever Indian pacer to take the top spot in the list. While praising him, Clarke called Bumrah "a freak".

Pat Cummins Breaks Silence On Glenn Maxwell's Hospitalisation After Late-Night Party

They "didn't cross paths" but Australia captain Pat Cummins was at the same venue from where his World Cup-winning teammate Glenn Maxwell was rushed to hospital after a reported late-night drinking session and the star pacer responded to the incident by saying "any decision you make you've got to own it". Both Cummins and Maxwell were attending a concert by 'Six and Out', the band which features former pacer Brett Lee, in Adelaide. Cummins said he left the venue much before his teammate allegedly lost consciousness and had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

"Toota Hai Gabba Ka Ghamand": How India Made Experts Eat Their Words With Historic Series Win

On this day in 2021, the Indian cricket team, led by Ajinkya Rahane, created history by winning a Test match at the Gabba, Brisbane, beating Australia in their fortress. With Virat Kohli back home after the first Test against the Aussies, it was Rahane who led the troops, inspiring a young brigade with the likes of Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj to secure what went down in the history books as one of India's finest Test triumphs.

Glittering And Controversial, David Warner Ends Test Career

Australian opener David Warner played the last of his 112 Tests to end a glittering and controversial career against Pakistan in Sydney on Saturday. The 37-year-old dashing opener ended his 13 years long Test career with a remarkable half-century, which helped Australia claim an eight-wicket win and register a clean sweep in the three-match series. In the chase of 130, Warner scored 57 off 75 balls before getting LBW out by Sajid Khan. Here's a look at five memorable Warner moments since his debut in 2011:

"Maybe There Is Beef": Michael Clarke On Mitchell Johnson's Vicious Attack At David Warner

Former Australia star Mitchell Johnson left the entire cricket fraternity stunned with his vile attack at David Warner following the latter's inclusion in the team for the Test series against Pakistan. Johnson fumed at the prospect of Warner getting a "hero's sendoff", with the Pakistan Test series being his last in the format, while also targeting the chief selector Goerge Bailey over the opening batter's inclusion in the squad. While Bailey brushed aside the chatter, former Australia skipper Michael Clarke has had a few things to say on the subject.

Adam Zampa Fires Shots At Ex-Australia Captain After World Cup Success

Australia spinner Adam Zampa has taken a jibe at former captain Michael Clarke who had earlier criticised the team for their slow start to the World Cup campaign. After suffering defeats in the first two games, Australia turned the tide on its head, pulling off a remarkable comeback to win the World Cup last week. Australia had kicked off their campaign with back-to-back defeats against India and South Africa. However, the Pat Cummins-led side edged out the Proteas in the semi-final, before dominating hosts India in the final last Sunday.

Australia relieved as captain Cummins finds form

Pre-match talk of Pat Cummins being sensationally dropped from Australia's World Cup lineup to face Sri Lanka was proved unfounded and also somewhat ludicrous after the pace-bowling skipper produced a crucial spell to help beat the South Asians.
