No Comments India win squash gold in thriller with Pak, stun China in table tennis doubles
“12-10 in the fifth, in the decider of the Asian Games gold medal match, India vs Pakistan, how do you write it!” gasped Abhay Singh. “How do you write it?”India’s man of the moment, who nearly quit the sport two years ago, captured the emotions best.
Where to even begin to describe the relentless drama, the unbearable tension and the astonishing fightback that ultimately led to a squash gold medal with a 11-7, 9-11, 8-11, 11-9, 12-10 victory? With the bickering start to what turned out to be one of the all-time classic India-Pakistan matches? Or the cold-blooded, thoroughly professional exhibition by veteran Sourav Ghosal, which brought India back into the mix?
Perhaps, it’s best to start at the end of this titanic clash that transformed from ugly to sublime to compelling. With the hy...

No Comments Asian Games, badminton: Kidambi Srikanth finds his game in the nick of time to beat Korea and take India into men’s team final
HS Prannoy played like a seasoned Top Ten who lifts his level and brings out the assertive smashes when closing out a game against a lower-ranked opponent. Lakshya Sen played like a fearless sophomore with an impressive freshman year behind him, who he can stub out an upstart and pack him back to oblivion with a searingly one-sided scoreline.Kidambi Srikanth played like Kidambi Srikanth – the genre involves a generous chunk of errors, an ashen coaching bench that has horror writ large on their faces, a legion of followers questioning their life-choices, cursing their favourite shuttle player and in poor cardiac health. And it involves Srikanth playing some of badminton’s most beautiful strokes as if none of these things are happening around him, that make the whole torture endurable.

Sandwiched between the Asian Games and the World Cup cricket, the Irani Cup match, which begins at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium here on Sunday, derives its relevance from being the communion of the have-beens and the wannabes attempting to nourish their Team India prospects.Cheteshwar Pujara, the can-do-all-day stonewaller, will be the buzz-making stately presence. Will be interesting to watch if he’s being busy or attritional with the bat. Back to the grind!

No Comments Cricket World Cup preview | With a potent bowling unit and a brittle batting line-up, Sri Lanka has its task cut out

Sri Lanka saw both sides of the spectrum during its recent 13-match winning streak in ODIs. It dismissed the opposition in 14 consecutive matches but its batting collapses were a persistent refrain during this period. With Wanindu Hasaranga’s injury ruling him out of the World Cup, Sri Lanka will miss its star all-rounder, whose leg-spin was pivotal to the team defending a string of low scores during its unbeaten run in the World Cup Qualifiers. Whether Maheesh Theekshana’s mystery spin and Dunith Wellalage’s recent exploits are enough to take Sri Lanka over the line will depend on the batters, who will be under the scanner on In...

No Comments Asian Games, Hockey: India overwhelm Pakistan but 10-2 scoreline reflects no contest between men vs boys
Pakistan’s 7-1 victory over India in the men’s hockey final of the 1982 Delhi Asian Games is considered a seminal moment in the storied rivalry between the two neighbours. It shows how far the team from across the border has fallen in the sport that they once dominated for decades that the 10-2 hammering they suffered at Hangzhou on Saturday won’t necessarily be talked about in those terms.It was India’s biggest win over Pakistan, but it almost seemed routine, such has been the one-sided nature of the rivalry in recent times. On several occasions during the contest, if at all it could be called that, it played out as men versus boys. India seemingly able to score whenever they ventured into the opposition circle, earning penalty corners and even penalty strokes whenever they wished.

No Comments Army-trained Kartik Kumar’s journey from burning leather off his shoes on village grounds to Asian Games silver
Veer Singh still remembers how his second-eldest son, Kartik Kumar, would run at the 200m sand track at the Maharana Pratap Inter College grounds at their village Shimlana, 30 km from Saharanpur, to prepare for the Army recruitment rallies in 2015. While Kumar would not be eligible for the recruitment due to his young age, he would run 40 laps of the 200m track along with other army aspirants.
On Saturday evening, 24-year-old Kartik ran his personal best with a timing of 28 minutes and 15.38 seconds followed by his teammate, 25-year-old Gulveer Singh, who clocked his personal best with a timing of 28 minutes and 17.21 seconds to hand India a historic silver in the men’s 10,000m at the Hangzhou Olympics Centre Stadium at the Asian Games. It was India’s first medal in men’s 10,000m since ...

NEW DELHI: Australian batsman Steve Smith showcased his prowess by scoring a half-century in a rain-affected warm-up match held in Thiruvananthapuram on a Saturday.

No Comments Mihir Vasavda at Asian Games, Weightlifting: No luck in China, but will the Paris Olympics lift Mirabai Chanu’s spirits?
Mirabai Chanu came to China hoping to win the only medal missing from her cabinet. She returns to India in ‘deep pain’, another injury and more questions than answers over her Paris Olympics prospects.With only two successful lifts in her six attempts, the Tokyo Olympics silver medallist finished fourth with a total of 191 kg (83 kg in snatch, 108 kg in clean and jerk). Chanu can take heart from the fact that she went for a medal despite an injury.
But that’s the only takeaway.
The Asian Games weightlifting competition offered a new hierarchy in the 49 kg weight class, one in which the Chinese aren’t at the top and where Chanu isn’t in the top three.
India’s Mirabai Chanu Saikhom reacts in pain after she got injured while competing in the women’s 49kg Group A weightlifting final at 19t...

The defeat at Molineux was City’s second loss in five days, after Newcastle United dumped them out of the League Cup, and dashed the leaders’ hopes of stretching their season-opening run to seven league wins in a row.
