A Thai seam bowler, a Dutch batter, and one of world cricket’s leading lights combined to take the Tornadoes to the first FairBreak Invitational title in Dubai on Sunday night.
Thomas Cup crown was splashed across front pages Monday with some people saying it can be a turning point for badminton much like the country's maiden cricket World Cup title in 1983. Coming in as underdogs against 14-time champions Indonesia, a ruthless India won the final of the men's team championship on Sunday in Bangkok to propel badminton to a rare place on centre stage in the cricket-crazy nation. World number 11 Kidambi Srikanth defeated higher-ranked Jonatan Christie to wrap up a 3-0 victory and trigger wild celebrations in the Indian camp as their players stormed the court with the national flag.
Harbhajan Singh chose not to respond to anybody seeking his reaction on 'good friend' Andrew Symonds' tragic death. "Shocked to hear about the sudden demise of Andrew Symonds. Gone too soon. Heartfelt condolences to the family and friends. Prayers for the departed soul," tweeted the former India off-spinner.
Symonds was to that ridiculously talented Australian cricket team in the 2000s. The first is from an ODI in Melbourne vs West Indies in 2001. His victim was Laurie Williams, who tragically also died in a car crash, like Symonds did in Townsville, Queensland late on Saturday. Williams died in Jamaica in 2002, aged 33. Symonds was 46. In the video, Williams drives Nathan Bracken towards long-on and starts running. But Symonds swoops in from mid-wicket, stops the ball, spins while still parked on his buttocks, and coolly throws down the stumps at the striker's end. All this happens in about one-and-a-half seconds.
Andre Russell was the star of the show as Kolkata Knight Riders kept themselves afloat, at least on paper, for a spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 playoffs with a 54-run win against SunRisers Hyderabad at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Saturday. Before taking three wickets with ball in hand, Russell also smashed an unbeaten 49 off just 28 deliveries to take KKR to a commendable total of 177/6. He was especially brutal in the final over of KKR's innings as SRH opted to go for the unconventional and bowl off-spinner Washington Sundar. Russell smashed the hapless Sundar for three sixes, with 20 runs coming off the over.
Lucknow Super Giants skipper K L Rahul wants his top-order batters to up their game following their second consecutive loss in the Indian Premier League. The 24-run loss to Rajasthan Royals on Sunday was LSG's first back-to-back defeat in the competition, denting their chances of finishing in the top-two.
Delhi Capitals will be looking to keep their IPL 2022 playoffs hopes alive when they take on Punjab Kings at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy on Monday. Speaking ahead of their match, Delhi Capitals' wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav said, "This is a do-or-die situation for us. We have performed well in the tournament, but we have lost some close games. We have to make sure that we don't repeat the mistakes we have committed in the competition so far."
On this day in 2010, Paul Collingwood became the first England captain to lift a World Cup trophy as a 35-year barren run was ended in style.
