Future looks bright for the boys who showed great maturity, high skills to win Under-19 World Cup

Despite little age-group cricket in India for the past two seasons due to Covid-19, the India under-19 team notched up a nine-game unbeaten run, clinching two back-to-back tournaments. "It was an outstanding achievement by the boys. Hats off to them for winning two major tournaments - the Under-19 Asia Cup (in UAE) and then the World Cup in span of a month. Considering that we had hardly two-three months' time to prepare, it's a great achievement," India Under-19 chief selector Sridharan Sharath told TOI on Sunday. The way this bunch conquered an outbreak of Covid-19-six players were infected at one point in the league stage, forcing India to barely find 11 fit players for the games against Ireland and Uganda - is an inspiring tale in itself. Sharath gave credit for keeping the boys motivated in this low phase to batting legend VVS Laxman, who was in the Caribbean in his capacity as the National Cricket Academy head, and the team's coaches - head coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar and bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule, both former India players.

FMIA: On Jeopardy, Joe Burrow and Super Bowl 56—Predawn Drive Into Work With Bengals Coach Zac Taylor

The Super Bowl week FMIA dawns in predawn Cincinnati, however. It’s dead silent in Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor’s neighborhood. Bengals-Rams, the Super Bowl LVI match no one on earth saw coming on Labor Day, is the next game, but glitzy L.A. and the game seem very far away.

1000th ODI: India coast to six-wicket victory against West Indies

India tick the right boxes, go 1-0 up in seriesIn 15 ODIs before Sunday, the West Indies had been bowled out before their full quota of overs nine times. Sunday, India's historic 1000th ODI at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad turned out to be the 10th. For a team that was coming from a high of beating England in the T20 series at home, it was a disappointing performance as there were too many soft dismissals as they crashed to 176 all out in 43.5 overs. That total too was possible largely to the skill of the highly dependable Jason Holder and the application shown by Fabian Allen, who rescued them with a 78-run stand from a perilous 79 for 7, on a dryish but decent surface. AS IT HAPPENEDThe hosts, led by a breezy 60 from Rohit Sharma, who did everything right, including winning the toss, got home in 28 overs with six wickets to spare. Apart from a chaotic four-ball spell where a hyper-aggressive Virat Kohli got two boundaries, and got bounced once before miscuing a hook to deep square-leg off the pacy Alzarry Joseph, who had dismissed Rohit earlier in the over by trapping him leg-before off a delivery that hurried him, the chase never looked out of control.

India vs West Indies: Slow and steady works for Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal was left out of the T20 World Cup squad in favour of Rahul Chahar, the ostensible reason given for his exclusion was the slower speed that he bowled at. "You want a spinner who can bowl with more speed. Recently we have seen Rahul Chahar bowling with speed. Our view was we need a spinner who can find the grip off the surface at a quicker speed and while we had a lot of discussion on Chahal, we eventually went with Rahul Chahar." These were chief selector and former India pacer Chetan Sharma's words.
