Kapil Dev to call it a day back in 1994. “You can’t drop such a big player. We allowed him to play the Test series against Sri Lanka, and he broke the world record (for being the highest wicket-taker) in the Ahmedabad Test.
Kazakhstan's Rybakina, ranked 25th in the world and the last remaining seed in this hard court tournament, raced to a 5-0 lead in the first set but needed a tiebreak after Czech Siniakova fought back. Rybakina was a break up at 4-3 in the second set, but Siniakova again fought back and this time took the tiebreak with her third set point.
In the battle between two former Indian Super League champions, Sivasakthi N put BFC in front in the 11th minute, only for Mumbai City to fight back to claim an equalizer through Apuia Ralte on the half-an-hour mark. But Brazilian defender Alan Costa rose to the occasion, heading home Sunil Chhetri’s corner in the 61st minute to seal the deal for Simon Grayson’s team from Karnataka’s capital. BFC — who were assimilated in I-League as a corporate team in 2013-2014 season — have gone on to win almost all major domestic titles. But the Durand Cup remained elusive both for the team as well its captain Sunil Chhetri.
Football Federation’s (AIFF) new technical committee recommended on Sunday that the former Croatian world cupper’s tenure as head coach of the senior national team be extended up to the continental showpiece next year. In another significant move, the IM Vijayan-led committee also suggested that Indian Arrows’ participation in the I-League should be discontinued because of the difficulty in fulfilling the AFC Licensing criteria. The AIFF executive committee, which will sit here on Monday, is expected to put its formal approval on these recommendations. This will be Stimac’s third contract extension since he took charge of the national team in May 2019. The coach is currently in the city, guiding the side in its preparations for India’s upcoming friendlies against Vietnam and Singapore. The move to keep him in charge of the team came close on the heels of his meeting with AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey. Soon after Stimac guided India to the main round of Asian Cup in June here, he set conditions for continuing as coach, stressing that the national team players must spend more time together and calling for changes in domestic football. It now seems that the new AIFF dispensation is in favour of overhauling the domestic structure. As part of this exercise, the federation has decided to withdraw Indian Arrows’ participation from the I-League.
With the first two matches ending in a draw, the Priyank Panchal-led side clinched the series 1-0. Set a target of 416 runs, the visitors folded up for 302 in 85.2 overs with opener Joe Carter’s valiant century (111, 230b, 12x4, 1x6) going in vain. Resuming the day on 20/1, New Zealand ‘A’ lost night-watchman Joe Walker early in the chase with medium pacer Shardul Thakur uprooting his stumps in the fifth over.
De Zerbi replaces Graham Potter, who left to take charge of Chelsea last week, with the Seagulls fourth in the Premier League. The 43-year-old former Sassuolo and Shakhtar Donetsk boss agreed final contractual terms late on Sunday afternoon.
Andy Murray said he felt "a bit emotional" over the idea he may have made his last appearance in the Davis Cup but the three-times Grand Slam champion added that he hopes to be selected again. Murray defeated Kazakhstan's Dmitry Popko 6-3 6-4 in Sunday's dead rubber following Britain's losses to the United States and the Netherlands. The 35-year-old led Britain to their first Davis Cup title for 79 years in 2015, but has struggled to regain top form since undergoing two hip surgeries and is currently ranked 43rd in the world.
