Pant produced a phenomenal innings of 146 runs off just 111 balls, rescuing India from a precarious position on the opening day in Edgbaston. His partnership with Ravindra Jadeja (83 not out) started with India struggling at 98/5, eventually helping the team past the 300-run mark with a magnificent 222-run stand for the sixth wicket.
Newcastle United have completed the signing of Dutch defender Sven Botman from Lille on a five-year deal, the Premier League club said on Friday. Details of the fee were not disclosed, but British media reported that the 22-year-old had joined for 35 million pounds ($42.33 million). “I’m really happy - delighted - and I can’t wait to start this new adventure," Botman said. "This is the best day of my life, to sign a contract with Newcastle United. It’s a day I’ve worked hard for and I’m very excited."
Aldrin was not named in the 22-member Indian team as his performance in the last three events conducted by the AFI had dipped. But on Friday, the AFI said Aldrin will be given a chance.
Ashwin finds himself out in the cold againThey say the more things change, the more they stay the same. One can apply that theory to the way Ravichandran Ashwin's spot becomes so dispensable every time India play in an away Test in SENA countries. Like the previous four Tests in the series against England in the UK, contested last year, he was left out again as India chose a four-pronged seam attack and the lone spinner's spot went to left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja. Former England captain Michael Vaughan tweeted his disgust in one sentence: "No @ashwinravi99!!!Ridiculous."
Wicketkeeper's blazing 146 stuns England; 222-run partnership with Jadeja takes India from 98/5 to 338/7 on Day OneOval, Sydney, Gabba, Motera, Newlands, Edgbaston. The footprints of Rishabh Pant's freakish genius are fast adorning some of world cricket's most iconic venues. Friday was Edgbaston's turn to see why this young man from Delhi has become box office in Test cricket. DAY 1: AS IT HAPPENEDComing in at 64/3 after Ben Stokes won the toss and put India in, the ball seaming around under angry, dark skies and an all-time great in James Anderson putting on a seam bowling clinic, Pant went on to score the fastest hundred by an Indian wicketkeeper-batsman, getting there in only 89 balls. The hundred came courtesy a heart-stopping dive to complete the second run just an hour after tea, prompting coach Rahul Dravid in the dressing room to let out a full-throated scream.
Steve Johnson at Wimbledon on Friday. The world number 12, who joined compatriot Heather Watson in the last 16, next faces another American in Tommy Paul. Norrie becomes the first British man in five years to reach the last 16 at Wimbledon, the previous being twice champion Andy Murray. It was a much easier outing than his previous match when he was taken to five sets by Spaniard Jaume Munar. "It feels really good, especially here at Wimbledon, at home. First time in the second week of a Grand Slam and I couldn't be happier especially with all my friends and family watching me," Norrie said on court. "It's good timing that they're here! I enjoyed that match today and it was a bit less stressful than the last round for my squad."
Answering questions at the press conference after his incredible 146 off 111 balls to lift India out of a hole with Ravindra Jadeja (83 not out), Pant said: "In Test cricket it's important to focus on defence. It's important to give respect to a good ball and hit the bad ball. "In England it's important to disturb the length of a bowler."
World Cup but that hasn't stopped fans from making a once-in-four-years pilgrimage to sample the thrill that this football tournament provides. At Russia in 2018, a total of 17,962 tickets were allocated to Indian fans, taking the country among the top-20 in terms of tickets bought and top-3 among countries that did not qualify for the World Cup. Only fans from United States and China - who didn't qualify -- were allocated more tickets.
