IPL 2023, KKR vs RR Emotional Rollercoaster: Hetmyer photo-bombs, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s hundredsque 97 & Nitish Rana’s howler over

Fading genius Sunil Narine is clearly not the bowler he used to be in his pomp, and it seems to be playing on his mind. He has taken just seven wickets this season, at an economy rate of 8.50, but only one in the last nine games. One wonders why the Kolkata Knight Riders think tank has persisted with him for the whole season. He even dropped an easy skier off his own bowling. Given that he is no longer capable of big hits with the bat, it remains to be seen whether the franchise keeps him for the next season, or he goes the way of his fellow West Indians Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard. With another KKR stalwart Andre Russell being more miss than hit this season, the situation seems ripe for a generational shift in the franchise. – Tushar Bhaduri A 97 as good as a 100 Whether leg-spinne...

Breaking Tendulkar’s record will be an emotional moment for me: Kohli

Former India captain Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar | Photo Credit: Emmanual Yogini Former India captain Virat Kohli has admitted that breaking Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI centuries would indeed be an "emotional moment" for him. When Tendulkar ended his career with 49 ODI hundreds, including the final one which was also his 100th international ton, not many thought that anyone would get even close to the 'Little Master'. However the 34-year-old Kohli now has 46 hundreds from 274 ODI games and will require three more to emulate his childhood idol and one-time teammate. Kohli, when asked about his thoughts on reaching that milestone, he quickly says, "it will be a very emotional moment for me". The conversation also included Kohli talking about his childhood memories of playing...

Julen Lopetegui demands meeting with Wolves chairman to address summer rebuild

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Julen Lopetegui said he would need a “long meeting” with the club’s chairman to discuss plans for the close season transfer window after the Spanish manager guided them out of the relegation zone to safety.
