Nur qualifies for Asian Championships with second-best timing by Indian

When Nur Mohammed Hasan began training for athletics, his sole goal was to get a job in the armed forces. The 3000m steeplechaser admits he was never passionate about athletics nor did he harbour any big dreams. But it all changed when he bagged his first junior medal at 16. “I saw boys in my village training for the army, so I just joined. My intention initially was just to bag a steady job to support my family but when I started seeing results, it changed my outlook and I became very serious about athletics,” Nur said. On Tuesday at the Ranchi Federation Cup, the Uttar Pradesh athlete registered the best performance of his career so far, clocking 8:30.56s – almost 10 seconds better than the Asian Championship qualification mark set by the Athletics Federation of India. The wiry 21-yea...

IPL 2023: Marcus Stoinis, spinners, Mohsin Khan help LSG upstage star-studded Mumbai

Synopsis: Marcus Stoinis’ powerhouse innings and Ravi Bishnoi’s game-changing wickets hand Lucknow a crucial win for their playoff hopes On a ground where the par score is 142, Lucknow Super Giants would have felt comfortable after notching 177 after a swashbuckling 89 from Marcus Stoinis. But after a brilliant opening stand between Rohit Sharma, who showed flashes of genius after being out of form for much of this season, and Ishan Kishan, who toyed with the Lucknow pacers to hit a 39-ball 59, Mumbai were 92-1 after 10 overs. Lucknow would have been concerned at that stage. Maza aaya? 😎 pic.twitter.com/oAJY4fNZKu — Lucknow Super Giants (@LucknowIPL) May 16, 2023 This was one of the most crucial contests of the league season – as crucial as it can get in a franchise tournament without ...

India deserve the money, but the ICC needs to work out a better system 

FILE PHOTO: The International Cricket Council (ICC) logo at the ICC headquarters in Dubai, October 31, 2010./File Photo | Photo Credit: NIKHIL MONTEIRO In the days when there was no money in cricket, England, part of a colonial power, and Australia, a largely white colony, ruled the game. As the two original members of the ICC (International Cricket Council now), they had the power of veto. It was a skewed system. Still, England saw it as a moral responsibility to take the game to the colonies. Perhaps they needed teams they thought they could beat; perhaps it was a way of inculcating certain values in the locals. Perhaps was to emphasise Englishness through sport. Whatever it was, and despite the obvious condescension involved, the game spread. India, the West Indies, New Zealand were...

India deserve the money, but the ICC needs to work out a better system 

In the days when there was no money in cricket, England, part of a colonial power, and Australia, a largely white colony, ruled the game. As the two original members of the ICC (International Cricket Council now), they had the power of veto. It was a skewed system. Still, England saw it as a moral responsibility to take the game to the colonies. Perhaps they needed teams they thought they could beat; perhaps it was a way of inculcating certain values in the locals. Perhaps was to emphasise Englishness through sport. Whatever it was, and despite the obvious condescension involved, the game spread. India, the West Indies, New Zealand were all playing Test cricket by the 1930s; South Africa played their first Test in 1889, and played a ‘World Cup’ with the other two ICC members of the time...

IPL 2023, LSG vs MI Emotional Rollercoaster: Chawla stings like a bee, Stoinis reprieve from review & joyous Thakur scoops SKY

Mohsin stays calm Mohsin Khan gestured to captain Krunal Pandya that he is calm, as he stood at the top of his run-up, tossing the ball. Sweat dripped over his face, the eyes were anxious, the face wore a sombre expression. But nervous he was not. Needing to defend 10 runs for a win, he slid an off-cutter first ball to Cameron Green. He shoved the ball straight back at him. A length ball followed, and he had to thank Green’s ricketiness for it not sailing over the ropes. But the single brought Tim David, and here was Mohsin’s big test. He stood up to the challenge. David’s hitting zone is the leg-side and so he bowled a full ball, slanting away outside the off-stump. David could manage just a single and was off the strike. Pandya would again tell him to be calm. Khan would nod his head...

When boxer Mohammad Hussamuddin trained at a graveyard! | Boxing News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Soft spoken to the extent that one has to lean towards his face to listen to what he is saying. That’s Mohammad Hussamuddin for you. The Nizamabad boxer, who won a bronze in his debut world championships, comes from a family of pugilists. His father Mohammad Shamsamuddin was a national-level boxer and his three other brothers – Mohammad Ehteshamuddin, Mohammad Ehtesaamuddin and Mohammad Qayamuddin – are also boxers of pedigree.Initially, Hussamuddin was afraid to don the gloves until his father Shamsamuddin, who is a boxing coach now, got him to shed that fear and took him under his wings.“My father used to run a hotel and after that he trained kids. There was a kabristan (graveyard) nearby where he taught us the finer points of the sport. I was very apprehensive towards boxi...

‘The rules permit you to do it…there is no cheating’: Ravichandran Ashwin weighs in on Krunal Pandya’s retired hurt call

The Lucknow Super Giants-Mumbai Indians game in 2023 Indian Premier League saw Lucknow score 177/3 in their 20 overs after being put in to bat first by Rohit Sharma. The innings saw Marcus Stoinis smack 89 runs off 47 deliveries. The second highest scorer for the hosts was the stand-in skipper Krunal Pandya, who amassed 49 runs off 42 balls. Pandya however, would feature in a decision that would be one of the talking points of the match at Ekana International Stadium. Pandya, who had faced seven overs of deliveries during the innings but was only batting at a strike rate of 116.67 as opposed to Stoinis batting at 189.36, would walk off the field following the 16th over, deemed retired hurt. This would bring Nicholas Pooran in the middle during the death overs phase and even though he co...

India’s new hockey coach Fulton sets sight on Asiad gold

There is no scope for the Indian men’s hockey team to rest on its laurels after the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics, and it’s up to the players to ensure that they develop the required consistency to keep improving as individuals and as a group, new head coach Craig Fulton said on Tuesday. The podium finish at the last Games came after a 41-year wait and there was much relief and celebration when the long drought came to an end. But Fulton emphasized that it can’t remain a one-off achievement. The subsequent big event, the Hockey World Cup on home soil, saw India bow out of contention before the quarterfinal stage. “If the players don’t want to improve on the bronze medal, there’s not much I can do as a coach,” the South African said. “One needs to develop the belief and consistency ...
