Duleep Trophy: All eyes on Rahane, Shaw in West vs NE

After two years of truncated calendar due to the pandemic, a full-fledged Indian domestic cricket season (2022-23) is all set to get underway, with the Duleep Trophy quarterfinals between West Zone and North East Zone starting on Thursday at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium.The tournament returns to the zonal format after a few years in which it was played among three teams picked by the national selectors and mainly used as trials for pink-ball matches. If reputations and pedigree stay true, this quarterfinal could well end up being a lop-sided contest in favour of West Zone. The team has players with international and IPL experience — Ajinkya Rahane, Prithvi Shaw, Rahul Tripathi, Jaydev Unadkat and Chetan Sakariya, to name a few. North East does not have the same luxury and comprises ...

Bowlers look for more assistance in second ‘Test’

It will be interesting to see if Umran gets an opportunity to go full tilt at the New Zealand-A batters It will be interesting to see if Umran gets an opportunity to go full tilt at the New Zealand-A batters Lakes and hills dot this city in northern Karnataka. Nrupatunga Hill, in fact, provides a fetching background to the KSCA Stadium which is basking under the sun on this Wednesday afternoon. Because of the overnight rain, the outfield is a bit wet, but should there be no further showers, the second ‘Test’ between India-A and New Zealand-A could well have a prompt start on Thursday. Though the opening day’s action in the first ‘Test’ at Bengaluru had to be cut short because of rain, the weather didn’t play spoilsport for the rest of the match.

ATK Mohun Bagan’s attacking frailties were badly exposed as they suffer a 1-3 defeat to Kuala Lumpur City FC in the inter-zone semifinal match of the AFC Cup here on Wednesday. KL City FC’s Brazilian captain Paulo Josue struck once (60th) and set up another for substitute Fakrul Aiman (90+3) with a brilliant free-kick.

Babar Azam compares Naseem’s sixes to Javed Miandad’s Sharjah strike; Ravi Shastri says ‘thanks for reminding’

After Pakistan chased down 130 against Afghanistan in a last over thriller, everyone had just one name on their lips, that of Naseem Shah. With 11 runs and just a wicket in hand, the bowler became an unlikely hero when he clobbered 2 sixes off Fazalhaq Farooqi to finish the match off in style. During the press match conference, Pakistan captain Babar Azam compared Naseem’s sixes to that Javed Miandad six to Chetan Sharma in an India vs Pakistan encounter in this very same ground, saying, “Nadeem’s two sixes reminded us of Javed (Miandad) bhai,” to which Ravi Shastri quipped, “I was there, thanks for reminding.” Naseem’s teammate Shadab Khan also said, “Jaise Javed Bhai aur Shahid Afridi bhai ke chaake yaad kiye jaate hain, Naseem ke chaake bhi uske career ke end Tak yad kar jayenge (Lik...

Pakistan break Afghanistan hearts, knock India out of Asia Cup

No team can do without drama in this Asia Cup. A fourth successive game was decided in the last over. After Pakistan had restricted Afghanistan to 129/6, the match seemed sewn up, the Sunday seemed all set for a Pakistan-Sri Lanka final. But there was a twist, rather a series of twists before Pakistan sneaked into the final with a one-wicket win over a defiant Afghanistan, whose players were reduced to tears. When Asif Ali departed in the last ball of the 19th over, Pakistan’s hopes were snuffed out. They were down to the last pair—Naseem Shah and Mohammad Hasnain, who had a combined tally of five T20 international runs. But Naseem pummelled the first two balls of Fazalhaq Farooqi’s last over for sixes to wrap an unforgettable victory for Pakistan. The first ball was an intended yorker...

Ugly scenes at Sharjah as Asif Ali-Fareed Ahmad fight in tense Asia Cup game

Tempers flared up in Sharjah during the tense match between Pakistan and Afghanistan on Wednesday. This was after Afghan seamer Fareed Ahmed had a mouthful to utter to Pakistan batter, Asif Ali, as a send-off during the penultimate over of the match. pic.twitter.com/AtiLF0teYj — Midpoint (@midpointsport) September 7, 2022 However, in the heat of the moment, Ali came very close to hitting the Afghanistani bowler with the willow in hand. When Ali was walking back to the dugout, Fareed found himself right in the path of Asif as he pumped his fist and roared. Clearly unimpressed with how close the bowler had come and celebrating right in front of his face, Asif stood and glared. Fareed didn’t budge. He stared back. Asif then shoved him off, and Fareed still kept staring. Asif then raised h...

Pakistan vs Afghanistan Highlights: Pakistan beat Afghanistan by one wicket to qualify for Asia Cup final, India out of contention | Cricket News – Times of India

SHARJAH: Naseem Shah probably hit the two most important sixes to protect Pakistan’s ego on a Wednesday night that broke millions of Afghan hearts and knocked India out of the Asia Cup. Naseem's hefty blows may not match the Javed Miandad's last-ball six off Chetan Sharma from 1986, it would hurt Indian fans as much. India's fate in the tournament was hanging on an Afghanistan win and the Afghan bowlers, breathing fire in the cauldron of Sharjah cricket stadium, nearly ran through the Pakistan batting lineup while defending 129/7 before Naseem sealed the deal in the first two balls of the final over bowled by Fazalhaq Farooqi. Naseem's hits clinched a thriller for Pakistan with just a solitary wicket. This win has booked a place in the final for Pakistan alongside Sri Lanka, rendering t...

“Promise me Naseem Shah, you will be a super star!”

When he left Pakistan for the Asia Cup, Naseem Shah promised his mentor Sulieman Qadir, son of Abdul Qadir, that he would do his best to be a super star of Pakistan cricket. Sulieman had told him if he does well in the next six months, he can be the superstar like Shaheen Afridi. It was expected that the stardom would come with the ball, which he did rattling India in their first game, but on Wednesday night, he smashed two sixes that he would never ever forget in his life. Neither would Pakistan fans. Or Afghanistan fans. Or the Indians, for that matter, who saw their hopes snuffed out. Until the last over Pakistan held the upper hand. And just when it seemed for the first time that Afghanistan held the advantage, Naseem Shah stepped up to hit two sixes that no one who watched will for...

In an interview on Tuesday, 19-year-old American chess player Hans Niemann said he was prepared to play “naked” in order to prove his innocence after he was accused of cheating ever since world champion Magnus Carlsen quit the $500,000 Sinquefield Cup after losing a game to Niemann on Sunday. Niemann, who stunned the Norwegian by beating him with black pieces, also admitted that he had cheated while playing chess online, doing so when he was 12 and 16 years old.

NEW DELHI: In a different era, bailing India out of trouble across 22-yards was his day job but as a Member of Parliament, Harbhajan Singh recently got an opportunity to perform a bigger duty -- rescuing a distressed Indian citizen, held captive in a foreign land. One of India's greatest bowlers, who was nominated by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to Rajya Sabha, recently played a very significant role along with Indian Embassy in Oman in rescuing 21-year-old Bathinda girl Kamaljeet Kaur, who was "illegally held and manhandled by her employers". Her passport and sim card was also confiscated. Asked about the incident, Harbhajan told PTI, "This wouldn't have been possible without the help of the Indian Embassy in Oman and our Ambassador Mr Amit Narang.
