Super Over Controversy Strikes India vs Sri Lanka ODIs, Umpires Floundered ICC's Rule: Report

As the Indian cricket team comes out second best in the second ODI against Sri Lanka, their tied first match against the hosts is back in the spotlight. To the surprise of many, the first ODI of the series didn't feature a Super Over despite the scores of the two teams being tied.

"It Wasn't Just A Win, It Was A Statement": Hockey India Head Coach After Reaching Semi-Finals

"It was not just a win, it was a statement," gushed head coach Craig Fulton after the Indian hockey team emerged victorious after playing more than 40 minutes of a tense quarterfinal match against Great Britain with just 10 players at Paris Olympics on Sunday. Key defender Amit Rohidas was given the marching order in the 17th minute for hitting an opposition player with his stick. Britain were already dominating the match with superior ball possession and it put India in a very tricky position. The Tokyo Games bronze medallist side, though, braved the red card and played the second half without conceding a goal, saving nine penalty corners in the process.

First Time In 27 Years: India Pick Up Unwanted Feat After ODI Loss vs Sri Lanka
