Foolishly, some may say, I chose to put myself in the position of a paying spectator at the opening match of the International Cricket Council Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 in Ahmedabad.
England and New Zealand players landed in Ahmedabad on Tuesday as preparations began for the main leg of the 2023 ODI World Cup.
Tackling a marauder like Rohit Sharma is right on the top of leg-spinner Shadab Khan's check-list but when the Indian skipper doesn't occupy his mind-space, the Pakistan vice-captain doesn't shy away from expressing his love for Bollywood movies and local food. Ajay Devgn would have little clue about how big an impression he had made on Pakistan vice-captain Shadab Khan. Glancing at the top cop from Hyderabad police manning the media conference room, the leg-spinner couldn't help saying: "Singham bhi aaye hain yaha pe. (I see Singham is also present here)."
The Adani Ahmedabad Marathon, one of the most-awaited events on the Indian athletics calendar, is back with its seventh edition - and it promises to be bigger and better. This year's marathon, scheduled on 26th November, will start and finish at the picturesque Riverfront Sports Park, Paldi, on the Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad. Registration for the marathon will open on 21 September. The participating categories of Adani #Run4OurSoldiers are the full marathon (42.195 km), the half marathon (21.097 km), the 10 km run and the 5 km run. The Adani Ahmedabad Marathon, which is certified by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS), will have Dave Cundy, Vice-President and Technical Director, AIMS, as the Race Director. Mr Cundy, Australia's most experienced marathon director, has been the Race Director of the Canberra Marathon for 30 years and for the Sydney Olympic marathons too.
India and Pakistan are set for some enthralling cricketing battles on the 22-yard strip, with the two Asian giants set to face each other on multiple occasions in the coming months. With three matches in the Asia Cup likely, India and Pakistan are also scheduled to clash in the ODI World Cup next month. Sourav Ganguly, former India skipper, doesn't agree with certain players' suggestion that it is 'just another game', and wants Rohit Sharma's men to be fully prepared. While Paksitan do have a top team, Ganguly doesn't feel playing India in Ahmedabad on the World Cup stage will be as easy for them as it seems.
The Gujarat government officials on Wednesday clarified that no decision has been taken by the state so far to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad, and said that acquiring the hosting rights for the 2036 Olympics is its focus. The officials denied reports published in a section of media which suggested that the state authorities may bid to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games at Ahmedabad after Australia suddenly pulled out from hosting the games due to cost concerns. Asked if the state government is mulling to bag the hosting rights for the 2026 Commonwealth Games, a senior government official, on the condition of anonymity, said he was "not aware of any such move so far".

The schedule for the upcoming ODI World Cup in India was announced earlier this week by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The tournament will kick off on October 5 with defending champions England taking on New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, in what will be the repeat of the 2019 World Cup final. However, all eyes will be on the blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan at the same venue on October 15. India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin shared his views on the blockbuster match against arch rivals Pakistan.
