India vs England: Shubman Gill’s marathon double ton singlehandedly puts visitors in charge of second Test

India captain Shubman Gill, it seems, has taken upon himself to ensure that the fans in this transition phase don’t get longingly nostalgic about the era gone by and miss the country’s past batting greats. In just his 34th Test, Gill has overtaken Sachin Tendulkar’s highest individual score. And it has taken him just a couple of Tests as captain to play an epic inning of 269, that’s 15 more than Virat Kohli’s highest score, when he was the King.At Edgbaston on Day 2 of the second Test, Gill showed that it wasn’t just wishful thinking when he was designated the prince, earmarked to take the great Indian batting legacy forward. And those who uttered his name in the same breath as Tendulkar and Kohli were not indulging in some marketing hype. He showed he could be trusted with his talent and ...

It wasn’t the most challenging scenario Srikanth Kidambi has found himself in over the course of his long badminton career, but in the second round of Canda Open Super 300 in Ontario on Thursday against Wang Po-wei, he found himself trailing by a solid margin in both games.

Elected Bengal BJP chief, Samik Bhattacharya is party’s RSS-backed warhorse

New Delhi: Ahead of the crucial assembly elections scheduled for next year in West Bengal, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has appointed senior party leader Samik Bhattacharya as the new chief of its West Bengal unit. Bhattacharya (61) is a Rajya Sabha member and was elected unopposed as no other candidate had filed their nomination for the post.

Japanese Baba Vanga’s July 5 disaster prediction sparks panic as earthquake hits days earlier in Japan | – Times of India

A 5.5 magnitude earthquake struck southwestern Japan on Thursday, just days before a widely discussed prophecy predicted a major disaster. The quake’s epicenter was near the Tokara Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture, around 1,200 km from Tokyo. Although no tsunami warning was issued, public anxiety has intensified due to a viral 2021 manga by Ryo Tatsuki, which foretells a catastrophic event on July 5, 2025.

Healy pointed out that India had five centurions in the first Test in addition to Bumrah’s five-wicket haul in the England first innings but it was the hosts who won the match despite not exhibiting individual brilliance of that kind. “We feel like that’s the only way India are going to win the game and I feel that is a really sad way to look at it ...

Shubman Gill, Team India put on high alert; Yashasvi Jaiswal expected to drop more catches: ‘Oh my god. I missed a 100’

Yashasvi Jaiswal currently has two versions. The batter and the fielder. Jaiswal, the batter, can't do a thing wrong. He began the Test series against England with a century at Leeds and followed it with another imperious knock of 87 in the ongoing match at Edgbaston. He has enjoyed an extraordinary start to his Test career, loves batting against England, and averages 100 against them. That he fell 13 short of a century came as a shock because that’s the standard he has set for himself. Yashasvi Jaiswal puts down Ben Duckett on 97 in the 1st Test(AFP) And then, there is Jaiswal, the fielder. Butter-fingered, sloppy and inattentive.
