Of swivel serves and taking risks: Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty stun World No. 1

At some point in the moments post leading 20-16 in the opening set, Chirag Shetty tried his swivel-serve. The top Indian doubles pairing of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty were playing Japan’s World No 1 pair of Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi. Shetty’s swivel serve aims to confound — he swings his serving shoulder along the ribcage axis and seeks to muddle the receiving of the serve by masking the exact moment and angle of release and attacks on the subsequent second shot with speed. Many mistake his trying-too-hard for nervous restlessness when it all goes kaput. On Friday, playing in their favourite tournament the French Open where they’ve had some memorable weekend forays, Shetty once again brought the 20-16 advantage to a 20-20 game-on situation. But doubles is about bold ...

It wasn’t the fact that we won, but how we won that was important for us: Sikandar Raza

A day after Zimbabwe stunned Pakistan, pushing them to the brink of an early elimination from the T20 World Cup, the team hasn’t had much time to celebrate. They had to take the long flight from Perth to Brisbane – from the Western Australian coast to the eastern seaboard – to face Bangladesh. Sikandar Raza, whose three wickets helped Zimbabwe to the nail-biting victory, spoke to The Indian Express about the win, his performance, and his career in general. Incredible group this!

Man Utd’s Antony says his tricks are ‘art’ and will carry on

Manchester United’s Brazil winger Antony vowed to continue with his tricks after accusations he was “showboating” during his side’s 3-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday. The 22-year-old who is well-known for his flair produced one incredible 720 degree spin with the ball seemingly glued to his left foot during the Europa League tie. United manager Erik ten Hag said he would “correct” the player if his tricks were “not functional” but in a post on Instagram on Friday, Antony said he would continue to dazzle.

Pay equity for India women cricketers is not a destination, it’s just a journey: Anjum Chopra

Former India captain Anjum Chopra feels that the BCCI’s decision to pay centrally-contracted female cricketers the same match fees as their male counterparts is a massive development, but also just “momentary.” “Equal pay parity is a brilliant decision taken by the BCCI. It’s not a new dawn. These things are momentary. They are rewards that players are receiving because of their consistent performances over the years,” Anjum told The Indian Express. “These rewards are not the destination, it is just a journey. As a player, you love all the accolades. This is a recognition of their hard work. Players now know that if they keep producing good results, more rewards will follow,” she said. Now the Indian women cricketers will receive Rs 15 lakh per Test, Rs 6 lakh per ODI, and Rs 3 lakh per...

Qatar summons German envoy over World Cup rights criticism

Qatar summoned the German ambassador on Friday over remarks by Germany’s interior minister, who appeared to criticize the decision to award the World Cup to the Gulf Arab nation because of its human rights record. It was the first time Qatar has summoned an ambassador following years of heavy international scrutiny of its treatment of migrant workers and criminalization of homosexual relations, and comes as authorities there appear increasingly fed up with such criticism. Qatar, whose gas riches have made it among the wealthiest countries on earth, will be the first Arab or Muslim nation to host the world’s biggest sporting event. Over 1.2 million fans are expected to descend on the tiny desert nation for the month-long tournament that begins on Nov. 20. German Interior Minister Nancy F...

Disappointed but right call was made: Jos Buttler on washout

England skipper Jos Buttler was understandably left disappointed after their crucial T20 World Cup clash against Australia was abandoned due to rain but insisted that the right call was made as conditions were not fit to take the field. For England, it was their second successive game that was affected by rain. While not a single ball was bowled on Friday, England had lost to Ireland via DLS method after rain played spoilsport towards the end of the game. “They (the umpires) had some big concerns and, I think, rightly so. The outfield is very wet, there are some areas within the 30-yard circle which were not fit to play. As much as we all want to play cricket, it has to be safe and it certainly wasn’t that,” said Buttler. “I think every bowler who bowled there would have had concerns. P...

Top physical form helped soccer player in Italy knife attack

Being in top physical form helped Spanish soccer player Pablo Marí avoid life-threatening injuries in a knife attack at an Italian shopping center, the surgeon who operated on his wounded back said Friday. “The surgery was a relatively simple one. Luckily there were only two damaged muscles,” said Osvaldo Chiara, the director of the general surgery and trauma team at the Niguarda hospital in Milan. “(Marí’s) muscular mass is such that the length of the knife that was used couldn’t pass through the rib cage and hit his lung.” Monza, the Serie A club that Marí plays for on loan from Arsenal, said that Marí should spend another “two or three days” recovering at the hospital. The club added that Marí will likely need two months of rest before resuming physical activity, while Monza CEO Adri...

On Friday, India were trailing 2-3 against New Zealand at the end of the third quarter in their Pro League opener at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar.

East Bengal aim maiden derby win against ATK Mohun Bagan in ISL

East Bengal will be eyeing their maiden Kolkata derby win in the Indian Super League when they face arch rivals ATK Mohun Bagan at the Salt Lake Stadium. Both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan will come into the derby on the back of a win and that will add some spice to the fixture. However, there’s no doubt that the Mariners will be the favourites, having maintained a 100 per cent win record in the past two seasons with four victories in four games. They are on a six-match winning streak over their rivals. Earlier this season, the iconic Salt Lake Stadium hosted a Durand Cup derby, the first after the COVID-19 pandemic. In a sloppy contest, an own goal from East Bengal handed Mohun Bagan victory. ‘No pressure, we play as a team and we need 3 points tomorrow.’ Pritam Kotal shares his thought...

ICC T20 World Cup 20222 | Bumrah’s absence doesn’t mean we start doing extra stuff: Bhuvneshwar

“The kind of bowler Bumrah is, certainly its a big loss for the team.

It’s not as if we would have to do something extra that Bumrah isn’t around” Jasprit Bumrah's absence no doubt is a huge loss but that never meant that the current bowling unit would deviate from its individual plans to over-compensate for the premier bowler's absence, senior India seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar said.

Frustration as rain, rain just won’t go away at T20 World Cup | Cricket News – Times of India

MELBOURNE: Cricket's Twenty20 World Cup is in danger of being diminished by bad weather after more rain forced the abandonment of both matches in Melbourne on Friday including an Australia-England blockbuster. Forecasters warn that more rain -- but also some sun -- is on its way in the coming days in Australian cities hosting what should be the pinnacle of cricket's shortest format. The famed Melbourne Cricket Ground, which will stage the final on November 13, was buffeted by almost non-stop rain on Friday. First the weather claimed Ireland's match against Afghanistan without a ball being sent down, meaning the Afghans have had two of their three World Cup matches abandoned because of rain. They lost the other. (ANI Photo)Teams take one point each when a match is washed out and they are...
