India vs South Africa: 'Instinct and hard work' fuel KL Rahul's fluid knock
With bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's injured back adding to Rahul Dravid-coached side's growing uncertainties over a perfect team combination going into the upcoming T20 World Cup Down Under, Rahul's coming back into his fluid best augurs well for the highest-ranked T20 team in the world. Much has been talked about his slow T20I half-century in Thiruvananthapuram – the slowest ever in T20I history by a player from a Test nation – but on Sunday the wristy Bangalorean rose to the occasion when India were asked to bat first and scored at a strike rate of 200-plus to set the platform for the next batters to take the score to 237. Some delicious hits by Rahul — flicked off the pads onto the stands — made not just the Guwahati spectators delirious with joy but the lanky batter assured that he is in a perfect head space and balance.

Irani Trophy: Saurashtra delay inevitable vs Rest of India with spirited batting show
At stumps on third day, Saurashtra reached to 368/8, riding on half-centuries from the quartet comprising Sheldon Jackson (71), Arpit Vasavada (55), Prerak Mankad (72) and skipper Jaydev Unadkat (78 batting). The overall lead is 92 runs now and Saurashtra would like to stretch it to at least 175 in order to set the cat among the pigeons. With 276 runs in arrears, Saurashtra were literally staring at a humiliating innings defeat after being reduced to 87 for 5 before lunch. However, Jackson and Vasavada, who have bailed Saurashtra out many-a-times in the past, added 117 runs for the sixth wicket to steady the ship. But, it was the 144-run eighth wicket stand between Unadkat and all-rounder Mankad that raised visions -- however improbable it may look at the moment -- of pulling off a heist. The duo not only had a century stand but also scored the runs at a quick clip -- in only 29.3 overs -- to keep the contest alive. If it was Jackson who took the attack back to the opposition by repeatedly stepping out to left-arm spinner Saurabh Kumar (3/80 in 25 overs) to disturb his length, the pair of Unadkat and Mankad used the extra pace of Kuldeep Sen (3/85 in 16 overs) and Umran Malik (0/59 in 16 overs) to their advantage. They hit six sixes from the bowling of Jackson, Vasavada and Unadkat.
