(Reuters) - Veteran England seamer Stuart Broad has dismissed speculation of a rift with former test captain Joe Root, saying that it would be "pathetic" if he were to fall out with him over being dropped for the tour of West Indies earlier this year.
From Lasith Malinga to Paul Adams, cricket, over the years, has seen numerous out-of-the-box bowling actions. Moving away from real life, and onto the big screen, one bowling action that had all of India talking at one point of time was that of the character 'Goli', played by actor Daya Shankar Pandey, in Aamir Khan starrer 'Lagaan'. In the movie, 'Goli' bamboozles his English counterparts by rotating his arm multiple times before finally releasing the ball. Well, now there is a real life version of 'Goli' and the video of him bowling is doing the rounds on social media.

England seamer Stuart Broad has dismissed speculation of a rift with former Test captain Joe Root, saying that it would be "pathetic" if he were to fall out with him over being dropped for the tour of West Indies earlier this year. Broad and fellow paceman James Anderson, England's top two wicket-takers in Test cricket, were left out of the three-Test series in the Caribbean, which ended in a 1-0 defeat for England and led to Root resigning as skipper. Both returned to the side for the opening Test against New Zealand at Lord's last week and were instrumental in helping the hosts to a five-wicket win in Ben Stokes' first match as captain.
Rishabh Pant has gone from strength to strength in the last couple of years. He is currently the No.1 choice for the wicketkeeper's spot in the Indian cricket team across all three formats. Pant's rise has been quite meteoric as in the upcoming T20I series against South Africa, starting on Thursday, he is also the vice-captain of Team India. Since playing a match-winning knock at the Gabba, Brisbane, which took India to a memorable 2-1 Test series win in Australia in 2020-21, Pant has not looked back. He has also led IPL team Delhi Capitals, which validates his rising stock in Indian cricket even more.
Joe Root became just the second England batter to score 10,000 Test runs during a match-winning hundred against New Zealand at Lord's on Sunday. The 31-year-old's typically composed 115 not out took England, who had been faltering at 69 for four, to a target of 277 and a five-wicket victory over the reigning World Test Championship winners with more than a day to spare. Root is often considered among modern cricket's "Big Four" batters together with Australia's Steve Smith, India's Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson, the current captain of New Zealand.
BCCI, looking to sell media rights for the Indian Premier League (IPL) on television and the internet over the next five years, concluded a mock auction for potential bidders on Monday. The cricket board carried this out over the period of four days to get the bidding players accustomed to the e-auction process, a relatively new concept for many.
All-rounder Colin de Grandhomme has been ruled out of the remainder of New Zealand's Test series against England with a heel injury, the Black Caps said on Monday. After the 35-year-old bowled only 3.5 overs in England's second innings in the first Test, a scan revealed a tear to his right heel. New Zealand lost the Test at Lord's by five wickets on Sunday to go 1-0 down in the three-match series.
