Rohit hits a six for the Rhinos, from comic self-harm to puncturing Rohit’s joy & Sams has one (almost) wide to rule them all

His season has been abysmal but at least Rohit Sharma can get out of this edition satisfied that he did his bit for his favourite Rhinos. Last year, he had worn a shoe with a text, “Great one-horned Rhinoceros” in a game to highlight the protection and preservation needed for the magnificent beast. Tonight, he went one-up, walloping a most delicious pull over midwicket and the ball ricocheted off the fence on to the sponsored car placed on a small podium. Tata, the official sponsors, have said if a ball lands on it, they will donate 500000 rs towards preservation of Rhinos in Kaziranga in Assam. Next over, off Mohammad Shami, he went down on his knee to lap-tap a length delivery outside off for a six over fine-leg. Every now and then, he punctuates his twitter feed with posts about Rhi...

Anti-doping: Athletics chief Sumariwalla says jail terms for dopers and guilty coaches will be strongest deterrent

Criminalisation of doping with jail terms for coaches for supplying banned performance-enhancing substances and for senior athletes who use them is the strongest deterrent for drug cheats in sports, according to Athletics Federation of India (AFI) president Adille Sumariwalla. “I have been pushing to give punishment for coaches in the anti-doping bill. My original idea for the bill was criminalisation of doping. The current anti-doping bill (2021) is a watered down version. But, maybe, they are right for now. We are not yet ready for that (criminalisation). But finally criminalisation has to happen. It is a matter of five years,” Sumariwalla said. The AFI president expressed his views two days after the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), an independent body set up with an aim to weed out d...

Carlos Alcaraz upsets idol Rafael Nadal in Madrid | Tennis News – Times of India

MADRID: Carlos Alcaraz toppled his idol Rafael Nadal 6-2, 1-6, 6-3 in the Madrid Open quarterfinals on Friday. "It means a lot to me," said the 19-year-old Alcaraz. "All the hard work that I put in every day pays off today. To beat Rafa, to beat the best player in history on clay, it means a lot to me."

Djokovic advances to semifinals in Madrid

Novak Djokovic eased to a 6-3, 6-4 win over Hubert Hurkacz on Friday as he advanced to the semifinals of the Madrid Open where he faces a tough Spanish test. Djokovic, a three-time champion in Madrid, had little trouble on the outdoor clay against Hurkacz, whose poor hitting ended any thoughts of a quarterfinal upset. Rafael Nadal played Carlos Alcaraz later Friday on center court at the “Caja Mágica” with fans keen to see two generations of Spanish tennis face off. Nadal, who at 35 has won a record 21 Grand Slam titles, will meet the 19-year-old Alcaraz touted by many in Spain as his potential successor. Nadal, who has won their previous two matches, said Alcaraz was favorite to win as he is in better shape. Nadal is returning from a six-week injury layoff and admitted that he couldn’t...

Asian Games postponed; 2023 sports schedule in disarray

Assuming it’ll go ahead as scheduled, China will host 23 nations for the Asian Cup, the continent’s showpiece football championship, in June and July next year. Then, in the following month, a series of major international events will get underway, kick-starting the countdown to the Paris Olympics. In August, athletics, swimming, sailing, archery and badminton, most likely, will have their world championships. That’ll be followed by an equally packed September, when the world championships for basketball, canoeing, gymnastics, boxing and wrestling (for whom, the worlds will double up as the Olympic qualifiers) will take place. As it tries to find a slot for the postponed Hangzhou Asian Games, which were scheduled to be held from September 10 to 25, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) is s...

Djokovic beats Hurkacz to reach semi-finals in Madrid | Tennis News – Times of India

MADRID: World number one Novak Djokovic eased past Hubert Hurkacz with a routine 6-3, 6-4 victory on Friday to advance to the Madrid Open semi-finals, as he bids for a fourth title in the Spanish capital. Djokovic looked much more like his usual self at the Manolo Santana Stadium on a sunny day in Madrid as he continued to work his way back towards top form ahead of the French Open, which begins later this month. The 34-year-old was given a walkover into the quarter-finals when opponent Andy Murray withdrew from their highly anticipated clash due to illness and the top-seeded Serb got straight down to business against Hurkacz. Having raced to a 3-0 lead in the first set, Djokovic closed it out in 36 minutes and maintained the pressure in the second. He got the crucial break at 3-2 and t...

Ben Stokes celebrates England captaincy call with 64-ball ton | Cricket News – Times of India

LONDON: Ben Stokes smashed 34 runs in an over to reach a 64-ball century for county side Durham on Friday -- his first innings since being appointed as England Test captain. The big-hitting all-rounder, who was announced as Joe Root's successor last week, is making his first appearance in this season's County Championship following a knee injury on the tour of the West Indies. He walked to the crease with Durham on 360-4 on the second morning of their four-day match against Worcestershire and launched a boundary barrage. The left-hander took just 47 balls to reach his half-century but then went into overdrive, with his second 50 taking just 17 deliveries.
