Usman Khawaja missed out on a century in the country of his birth by three runs Sunday as his side made a strong response to Pakistan on the third day of the first Test in Rawalpindi.

Pooja Vastrakar and Sneha Rana's aim was to rotate strike till the 45th over before going for the big shots in their Women's World Cup match against arch-rivals Pakistan here on Sunday. India thrashed Pakistan by 107 runs to begin their campaign with a win. Vastrakar (67) and Rana (53 not out) stitched a 122-run partnership to take India to a respectable 244 for 7.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma is surprised at Ravichandran Ashwin's ability to get better with time and termed him an "all-time great" after the senior off-spinner eclipsed Kapil Dev's tally of 434 wickets to become the country's second highest wicket-taker. Ashwin took a match-haul of six for 96 in the first Test against Sri Lanka and his current tally stands at 436 wickets. "It's a big thing in his cricketing career to achieve that feat you know," Rohit said when asked about Ashwin's feat in just 85 Tests. "When you grow up wanting to play Test cricket, you don't dream about these things and so to surpass that is a big achievement on his behalf. You know, I have been watching Ashwin for a long time now and every time I watch him, he seems to get better and better.
ISLAMABAD : Australia opener Usman Khawaja narrowly missed out on what would have been a memorable hundred in Pakistan on Sunday but the 35-year-old considers himself lucky just to be playing in the country of his birth.
IPL 2022 Full schedule with date, time and venue of all matches was announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Sunday. IPL 2022 will be a 10-team affair with Lucknow Super Giants and Gijarat Titans playing in their first season. The first match will be played as Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on March 26 and it will be a replay of last year's final, which will see defending champions Chennai Super Kings take on IPL 2021 runners-up Kolkata Knight Riders. It will be the first match as captain of KKR for Shreyas Iyer.
Chennai Super Kings will face Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening game of the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede stadium here on March 26. The BCCI on Sunday announced the schedule of the cash-rich league, which will be played across four venues -- Wankhede Stadium and Cricket Club of India in Mumbai, DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai and Maharashtra Cricket Association stadium in Pune. “A total number of 70 league matches and 4 playoff games will be played in the duration of 65 days,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a media release. There will be 12 double-headers in the tournament and on such days, the first game will be played at 3.30pm and the evening matches will be played at 7.30pm.
Rohit Sharma on Sunday said India ticked all the boxes against Sri Lanka in the opening Test of the two-match series here. Ravindra Jadeja stood tall with his all-round brilliance as he followed up his unbeaten 175 with nine wickets in India's innings and 222-run win against Sri Lanka in the match that ended inside three days. After being bowled out for 174 in the first innings, Sri Lanka, who lost 16 wickets on the day, were dismissed for 178 in their second essay. "It was a good start. It was a great game of cricket from our perspective. We ticked all the boxes we wanted to. To be honest I didn't think it is going to be that kind of a Test match which would get over in three days. "It was a good batting pitch, there was some turn and some assistance for the seamers as well," Rohit said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
