Isn’t it true Sambhal violence was result of tensions between ‘desi & foreign Muslims,’ asks Yogi

Lucknow: “Is it not true that this [violence in Sambhal] happened because of the internal fight between desi and foreign Muslims,” Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said Monday, responding to a blistering attack by the Opposition which targeted his government over communal tensions that erupted in Bahraich in October and in Sambhal last month.

Virat Kohli’s technique not made for the new ball: Cheteshwar Pujara

India Test stalwart Cheteshwar Pujara has said that Virat Kohli’s existing technique exposes him against the new ball in Test cricket. Speaking on Star Sports after Kohli was dismissed poking at a delivery outside the off-stump off Australia seamer Josh Hazlewood in the Gabba Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Monday, Pujara explained the chinks in the former India captain’s technique. Early dismissals in the top three has meant Kohli has invariably come in to play the fresh Kookaburra in four of the five innings he has played this series, save the second-innings in the first Test where he recorded an unbeaten century. “He has been forced to play the new ball. He has gotten out whenever he has played the new ball. When he played the old ball, he scored a hundred in Perth. So that’s ...

In his first interview after stepping down as the Test coach of Pakistan, Jason Gillespie said the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) did not want him as a coach. He cited a lack of communication with the board and the sacking of high-performance coach Tim Nielsen as the reasons for his resignation. “The straw that broke the camel’s back, I suppose, was, as a head coach, you like to have clear communication with your employer. “Tim Nielsen was told that his services were no longer required and I had absolutely zero communication from anyone about that, and I just thought after a number of other things that had gone on in the previous few months, that was probably the moment where I thought, ‘Well, I’m not really sure if they actually really want me to do this job or not.'” What irritated Gillesp...
