PKL: UP Yoddha beat Telugu Titans 39-33 | Pro-Kabaddi-League News – Times of India

BENGALURU: UP Yoddha beat struggling Telugu Titans 39-33 in a Pro Kabaddi League match on Saturday. Yoddha were better in all the departments with their raiders - Pardeep Narwal (10), Shrikant Jadhav (7) and Surender Gill (7) - picking up valuable points. Telugu Titans had a great opportunity to make a comeback by inflicting an ALL OUT on Yoddha in the final minutes but captain Rohit Kumar's decision to go raiding backfired. Rajnish and Ankit Beniwal scored 9 points each for the Titans who are without a win in Season 8. Telugu Titans had Rohit Kumar back in the starting 7 but that didn't really add to the raiding efforts in the first half. Rajnish and Ankit Beniwal showed glimpses of their immense potential, but the half surely belonged to Yoddha who had a clear plan for the Titans. The...

COLOGNE (Germany): Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski got a hat-trick to make it 300 Bundesliga career goals as he steered them to a 4-0 win at Cologne on Saturday that restored a six-point lead at the top.

Arsenal’s north London derby at Spurs postponed by Premier League | Football News – Times of India

Arsenal's north London derby at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday has been postponed because their squad has been depleted by COVID-19 infections, injuries and players away at the Africa Cup of Nations, the Premier League said on Saturday. Arsenal had asked the league on Friday to delay the derby - the 21st match to be called off this season. "With Arsenal having fewer than the required number of players available for the match (13 outfield players and one goalkeeper), the Board accepted the club's application (for a postponement)," the Premier League said in a statement. Arsenal's Granit Xhaka was ruled out of Sunday's match after picking up a red card in Thursday's 0-0 draw at Liverpool in the League Cup semi-final first leg, while Cedric Soares, Bukayo Saka and Calum Chambers all sustained...

Busting common myths about Sagittarius – Times of India

Ganesha says people have many opinions regarding the Sagittarius zodiac sign, and the majority of these opinions are incorrect. But, as with so many things in life, it's all about the other person's viewpoint. Some people mistake Sagittarians for indolent since they rarely labor as hard as other individuals. They have a relaxed mindset and are ready to embark on an experience at any time. They lead a life that is distinct from that of the majority of people. This isn't to say they don't have ideas and ambitions; it just means they pursue them in ways that aren't typical. As a result, the idea of Sagittarians being laid-back is a myth. Sagittarians aspire to be unfettered and are prone to being overly enthusiastic about life. These factors indicate that Sagittarians prone to fall in love...

At the first chance they could grab. Who knew ahead of the winter World Championships that Singaporean Loh Kean Yew could grow limbs that could strike down like lightning.

Captain Kohli made the team in his image

Virat Kohli’s last Test as captain, in Cape Town, had moments that both endeared and repulsed him as a leader. He was vociferous, expressive, combative, animated, and at times, loud and brash. But, how much one likes or dislikes him, deifies or defies him, one can’t miss his energy, the unstoppable flow of a contagious electric force. Behind India’s most prosperous era in Test cricket was this relentless, often ruthless, energy. It’s this uncluttered energy that embodied his reign as India’s Test captain and will be his lasting legacy. Kohli, the captain, was a firebrand like few other Indian skippers. Sourav Ganguly had a fiery streak, but not relentlessly so. He was a mellowed figure in the latter years. MS Dhoni’s fire remained inside him, seldom spilled over. But Kohli’s fire was as...

Kohli the captain will be remembered for passion & intensity, even though he lacked empathy at times

It was 2011, we were at a small hotel room by the sea in Dominica in the West Indies. Virat Kohli had been harassed by Fidel Edwards’ bouncers, just lost his Test spot, and was watching some television in Harbhajan Singh’s room. At the door, Harbhajan turned, pointed to Kohli, lying supine on the bed, remote-pressing his way, and said, “Yeh ladka teen saal mein captain banega!” (This boy will be captain in three years). Next day, when Harbhajan’s remark was shared with Kohli, there was one thing in his reaction that stood out: There was no surprise. Just a matter-of-fact happiness. Here he was, just dropped from the Test team – he didn’t find himself in India’s tour of England that followed the Caribbean sojourn but one that he would eventually go to due to an injury to another player, ...

Consternation after Arsenal-Tottenham is latest EPL game off

Arsenal’s request to call off its north London derby match against Tottenham because of a lack of senior players available was granted by the Premier League on Saturday. “We know how much this match means to our fans around the world,” Arsenal said of the decision to postpone Sunday’s match which will cause some consternation among rival teams. It was reached because Arsenal has fewer than the required number of players — 13 outfield and one goalkeeper — because of a combination of COVID-19 cases, injuries and players away on international duty at the African Cup of Nations. However, Arsenal has recently decided to let two players go out on loan and has one player out suspended in Granit Xhaka. In Arsenal’s most recent update, there were not many coronavirus-related absences for this g...

All of this, combined with Kohli’s uncompromising and aggressive leadership, saw India become the number one ranked side in Tests. But looking beyond the emotion and the aggression, the cold, hard numbers also tell a story which is not much different from what meets the eye—Kohli was by far the best Indian captain and in extremely august company among his contem...
