Yashasvi Jaiswal-Shubman Gill Rewrite India's Partnership Records During 10-Wicket Win Against Zimbabwe

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill posted India's second-highest partnership in T20Is during run-chases on Saturday. This pair of young batters accomplished another position in India's T20I batting charts during the fourth T20I against Zimbabwe at Harare. In the match, during a run-chase of 152 runs, Jaiswal and Gill smashed Zimbabwe bowlers left and right, securing a 10 wicket win with 28 balls left. They stitched a partnership of 156 runs. The highest partnership in T20Is during run-chases for India is also held by Gill-Jaiswal, who put on a partnership of 165 runs against West Indies at Lauderhill just last year for the second wicket while chasing 179 runs.

Ricky Ponting Sacked As Delhi Capitals Head Coach Amid IPL Trophy Drought

Delhi Capitals on Saturday parted ways with head coach Ricky Ponting after seven unsuccessful years in their quest for an elusive IPL silverware, the franchise announced on social media. While it is still early days, there is every possibility that Sourav Ganguly, the current Team Director of DC, could double up as the head coach next season. “As you move on as our head coach, we are finding it incredibly difficult to put it down in words. The four things that you told us about in every huddle -- care, commitment, attitude and effort, they sum up our seven years together,” DC posted on their official 'X' handle. While the franchise waxed eloquent in that emotional post about their long association with the Australian, it is learnt that Ponting was told in no uncertain terms that his performance hasn't pleased the management after being given seven years -- unheard of at franchise level without results.

Barbora Krejcikova Wins Wimbledon For Second Grand Slam Singles Title

Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic defeated Italy's Jasmine Paolini to win the Wimbledon women's title on Saturday for her second Grand Slam singles triumph. Krejcikova, the 31st seed, won 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 to add the 2024 All England Club crown to her 2021 French Open victory. Her win comes 26 years after her mentor Jana Novotna, who died in 2017, claimed the Wimbledon title. The result meant seventh-seeded Paolini had lost two Grand Slam finals back-to-back after coming off second best to Iga Swiatek at the French Open last month. Krejcikova set the tone immediately by breaking the Italian in the opening game and backing up the advantage with a hold to love.
