Republic of Ireland's U21 friendly against Kuwait was abandoned in the second half after the FAI reported that a racist remark was directed at a member of Irish substitute's bench.
One of the finest Indian cricketers ever, Sourav Ganguly raised a few eyebrows his comment as he claimed that winning the Indian Premier League (IPL) was more difficult than winning the World Cup. Ganguly's comments came as he was backing Rohit Sharma to continue leading the Indian team. Gagnuly's comments drew reactions from fans all across the globe. Even former Pakistan batter Salman Butt expressed his views on Ganguly's remarks, slamming the former BCCI president.
The Indian cricket team once again failed to perform when it mattered the most, with Australia emerging triumphant by 209 runs in the ICC World Test Championship final. Be it the bowling unit or the batting unit, the players hardly managed to create an impact. India head coach Rahul Dravid understandably had to answer some difficult questions after the match, particularly from his former teammates Sourav Ganguly and Harbhajan Singh.
Australia skipper Pat Cummins contradicted his counterpart Rohit Sharma's opinion on third umpire Richard Kettleborough, who gave the controversial decision of dismissal of India opener Shubman Gill during the second innings of the World Test Championship final. After India lost the match, Rohit had stated that the third umpire reached the conclusion a bit quickly and should have seen more replays before taking the call. He had even called out the WTC organisers for having fewer camera angles at such an important match.
Widely seen as the 'next big thing' in world cricket, Shubman Gill's stocks have soared through the roof over the last few months. No matter the format, the opening batter has delivered performances that many at his age can only imagine. Naturally, the batter has drawn comparisons with greats like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif, during a discussion on the topic, said that comparisons between Gill and Kohli won't be fair as the latter still has some 'weaknesses'.
The great Matthew Hayden reckons India's title drought in ICC events in the past decade has to come down to the players' mindset as skill was never an issue and has advised them to "forget about the outcome" going into the World Test Championship final against Australia. India's last ICC title came under the leadership of MS Dhoni back in 2013 and since then the team has fallen short in high pressure knock-out games including the 2017 Champions Trophy final against Pakistan, 2019 ODI World Cup semifinal versus New Zealand and more recently the T20 World Cup semifinal against England last year.
This Morning viewers rushed to comment as Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary opened the latest episode with a tribute to Phillip Schofield. The pair were not due to host the programme on Monday (May 22), however, they stepped in after it was announced Phillip had quit and Holly Willoughby was subsequently taking an extended break.
Virat Kohli on Thursday slammed a record-equalling sixth century in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to power Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to a win in their do-or-die game against SunRisere Hyderabad. Kohli, who last scored a century in IPL in 2019, slammed 100 off just 63 balls, smashing 12 fours and four sixes, as RCB chased down 187 with four balls and eight wickets to spare. Needing a win to stay alive in the playoffs race, Kohli and Faf du Plessis (71 off 47) added 172 runs for the biggest opening partnership in IPL 2023.
