India's Asia Cup 2022 campaign has been derailed after back-to-back losses at the hands of Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super Four stage of the tournament. After losing a last-over thriller against Pakistan on Sunday, India suffered a disappointing six-wicket defeat against Sri Lanka on Tuesday.

Defending a total of 173 runs, India's bowling woes were left exposed in the game as the pace attack was taken to the cleaners. Barring the two spinners - R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, who picked up four wickets between them, all other bowlers went wicket-less against Sri Lanka.

India's bowling has come under the scanner in the tournament but the team has struggled after an untimely injury to all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja which forced the Men in Blue to tinker with their combination. Though India roped in Axar Patel as a like-to-like replacement for Jadeja, they played Deepak Hooda in their first two Super Four clashes.

As much as it was to strengthen the batting, Hooda's inclusion was as an all-rounder and he was expected to contribute with the ball as well in Jadeja's absence. However, that wasn't the case as Hooda didn't bowl a single over in the two matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, leaving many baffled.

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma explained why Hooda didn't get to bowl even a single over against Sri Lanka and said he felt he needed to attack with his main spinners in the middle overs when India were looking for wickets. However, Rohit insisted he would have bowled Hooda had India managed to take early wickets.

"See, we have 6 bowling options but as I said we also have to try things with five bowlers as well. Today Deepak Hooda was there but Sri Lanka's two right-handers were set so I didn't think I could bring him on at that point because we were trying to get a breakthrough so I wanted our attacking spinners Ashwin and Chahal to bowl. If we had gotten a wicket early, I had planned to bowl Deepak Hooda," Rohit explained at the post-match presser.

"Six bowling options are always nice we know that and we have played with that combination. So when we go to the World Cup, that will be our thinking, to play with a combination which allows us to have six bowling options," he added.

Hooda was the sixth bowling option for India in the must-win game against Sri Lanka on Tuesday and could have been deployed when the Indian bowlers were being tonked to all parts of the ground by Sri Lankan openers, who added 97 runs for the first wicket and turned the game in their team's favour.

Many also questioned the decision to not bowl Hooda as he was included in the playing XI at the sacrifice of Dinesh Karthik, who has been in red-hot form as a finisher. With two defeats in a row, India's chances of making it to the final are dim but they still have a glimmer of hope if some results go in their favour.

Rohit Sharma explains why Deepak Hooda didn't bowl against Sri Lanka after questions over his selection

India are on the brink of early elimination from the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 after suffering a disappointing six-wicket defeat against Sri Lanka at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai on Tuesday. It was a woeful bowling performance from the Men in Blue as they failed to defend the total of 173 runs to face their second defeat on the trot.

India have now lost their first two matches in the Super Four and even a victory in their final encounter against Afghanistan won't guarantee them a spot in the final. India looked in control of the game after captain Rohit Sharma gave them a solid start with the bat but they failed to capitalise and were restricted to 173.

The bowlers were expected to put on a fight but the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh all failed to impress as India's pace attack was taken to the cleaners. After his flop show in the death overs against Pakistan, Bhuvneshwar once again struggled in the 19th over against Sri Lanka.

The experienced pacer ended up conceding 14 runs off the penultimate over with Sri Lanka needing 21 runs to win off the last 12 deliveries. Pakistan legend Wasim Akram shared his views on India's death bowling woes and explained why Bhuvneshwar should not have bowled in the death&nbsp;against Sri Lanka.

Akram believes Bhuvneshwar, who is one of the finest swing bowlers around, has no pace and India needed someone who could clock 140kph and over in the crunch situation against Sri Lanka.

"Bhuvi is a very good bowler. Don't get me wrong but there is no pace. In T20, when you don't have pace, especially on this kind of pitch, he's a medium pacer, just maybe over medium pacer...135 (kmph). You need 140 (kmph) plus bowler like Jasprit Bumrah in the side," Akram said on Star Sports.

When he comes into the squad, you will have two of the best bowlers to bowl the last overs. And you need regular bowlers, who can bowl at the death. You can't pick up someone out of the hand. It's impossible to bowl, if you are not used to the pressure," he explained.

India's bowling has been pretty ordinary in the tournament so far and their woes were eft exposed after all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was ruled out of the tournament ahead of the Super Four stage. India are without the likes of Bumrah, and Harshal Patel in the tournament, and did not pick Deepak Chahar and Umran Malik among others in the main squad.

India's chances of qualifying for the final hang by a thread after their loss against Sri Lanka with just one game in hand. India can make it to the final only if they beat Afghanistan by a huge margin and Pakistan go on to lose their remaining two matches against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has no pace: Pakistan legend Wasim Akram on India's death bowling woes against Sri Lanka

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh ripped into Team India's selection after their disappointing six-wicket loss against Sri Lanka in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 on Tuesday (September 06). India failed to defend a total of 173 runs as they suffered their second straight defeat in the Super Four stage of the tournament.

It was a fine all-round performance from Sri Lanka as they stunned the defending champions at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai. India got off to a brilliant start with captain Rohit Sharma going all guns blazing from the word go. However, the Men in Blue lost the plot in the middle and were restricted to 173 runs in 20 overs.

Sri Lanka rode on half-centuries from openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis before finishing cameos from Bhanuka Rajapaksa and skipper Dhasun Shanka to clinch the game in the final over with one ball to spare. While Sri Lanka's victory has all but confirmed their spot in the final, India are on the brink of elimination after the disappointing loss.

In the wake of the defeat, Harbhajan questioned India's team selection for the Asia Cup 2022 and asked why the likes of Umran Malik and Deepak Chahar were not picked to strengthen the bowling attack, which looked in all sorts of troubles in both games against Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Harbhajan also questioned the lack of chances for Dinesh Karthik as a finisher.

“Where is Umran malik (150km speed)? Why Deepak Chahar (top quality swing bowler) wasn’t there? Tell me if these guys don’t deserve the chances?? Why Dinesh Karthik don’t get chances consistently?? &nbsp;Disappointing,” Harbhajan wrote in a tweet lashing out at the selectors and the Indian team management.

'Where is Umran, why Chahar wasn't there?': Harbhajan rips into India's team selection after Sri Lanka debacle

Kylian Mbappe played chief tormentor as Paris St Germain started their Champions League campaign by beating Juventus 2-1 at home on Tuesday, their first victory against the Italian side.

Mbappe opened the scoring with a stunning goal and added a second in the opening half before substitute Weston McKennie reduced the arrears after the break as the French champions' level went down a notch.

Juve had chances to equalise but keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made several good saves to make up for a blunder for the visitors' goal, ensuring PSG beat the Italian side for the first time in nine meetings, having lost the last six.

Christophe Galtier's team are level on three points in Group H with Benfica, who beat Maccabi Haifa 2-0.

"We had a great first half, with big moments. We scored two beautiful goals and played as a compact team," said Galtier, leaving his Juve counterpart Massimiliano Allegri with regrets.

"We were too timid in the first half and it's not easy to recover from such a start against such a top team," the Italian said.

The heavy smoke from the pre-game flares and firecrackers was still in the air when PSG took the lead in stunning fashion, as Mbappe volleyed home from Neymar's brilliant flick over the Juve defence after five minutes.

Vitinha and Marco Verratti bossed the midfield, snuffing out counter-attacks as the home side made a strong start.

Juve struggled to handle PSG on the left flank but had a chance in the 18th minute when Donnarumma denied Arkadiusz Milik with a superb save.

PSG, however, doubled their advantage four minutes later, with Mbappe finishing from just inside the area after a quick one-two with Achraf Hakimi for his eighth goal in his last seven Champions League matches.

In just 22 minutes, Juve had conceded as many goals as in their first five Serie A games.

The hosts soaked up some mild pressure from the Italian side before pressing forward again after the break with Neymar forcing Mattia Perin to a save in the 49th.

Lionel Messi then set up Mbappe down the right flank but the France forward, instead of sending the ball across to the unmarked Neymar, took his chance with a shot that went well wide.

What should have been a 3-0 turned into 2-1 when McKennie headed home from Filip Kostic's cross, benefiting from Donnarumma's ill-timed intervention, as the keeper came out but got nowhere near the ball, leaving the goal unguarded.

The Italy international, however, pulled off a brilliant save shortly afterwards to deny Dusan Vlahovic and was at it again later to block Manuel Locatelli's attempt.

Kylian Mbappe shines as PSG beat Juventus 2-1 to get off to a winning start in Champions League

Young Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh has been subjected to vicious trolling and abuse online after dropping a sitter against Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022. Arshdeep dropped a simple catch of Pakistan batter Asif Ali as the Babar Azam-led side went on to beat India by five wickets in the Super Four opener.

While some targeted him over his religion, his Wikipedia page was also edited to display fake 'Khalistan' links. While many former cricketers have rallied behind the youngster, the Indian authorities and political leaders have also gotten involved to contain&nbsp;the&nbsp;incessant trolling.

Despite being on the receiving end of horrific abuse, Arshdeep remains unfazed and has not let the trolling get into his head. The Indian cricketer's parents recently revealed the left-arm pacer has not let any of the criticism affect him and is in fact laughing over the tweets and messages on social media over his dropped catch.

“As a parent, it feels really bad. He is only 23. I don’t want to say much about trolls. You can’t shut everyone’s mouth. Without fans, there is no game. There are some who stand by you no matter what and others who can’t digest a single loss. But at the end of the day, only one team can win,” Arshdeep's father Darshan told Indian Express.

“His exact words were, ‘I am laughing at all these tweets and messages. I am only going to take positives from it. This incident has only given me more confidence’,” Arshdeep's father said further.

After dropping Asif's catch in the 18th over of Pakistan's 182-run chase, Arshdeep was called upon by captain Rohit Sharma to bowl the final over of the game with 7 runs to defend. Arshdeep managed to dismiss Ali on the fourth ball but India had left it too late by then as Pakistan went on to win the game with a ball to spare.

However, they will face their biggest challenge of the tournament so far against Rohit-led India on Tuesday. Ahead of the all-important game, India once again face some major selection headaches as they aim to return to winning ways and salvage their campaign.

India might make a change in their bowling line-up against Sri Lanka as Yuzvendra Chahal's form remains under the scanner after he ended up conceding 43 runs off his four overs against Pakistan. He can make way for veteran R Ashwin in the XI or his place can also be taken by fast bowler Avesh Khan, who had missed the last game due to fever.

Ravi Bishnoi impressed against Pakistan and is likely to pip Chahal to retain his spot in the Sri Lanka clash. If India decide against bringing Avesh back, they can go with Ashwin and Bishnoi as the two spinners. The Men in Blue can also ring in changes in the batting line-up.

Deepak Hooda was not utilised with the ball against Pakistan, leading to questions over Dinesh Karthik's exclusion if the all-rounder was supposed to contribute only with the bat. India can be tempted to bring back Karthik to have extra cushion down the order and go with only five bowlers in the game.

India's predicted XI for Sri Lanka clash: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi/Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh.

India will lock horns with Sri Lanka in a must-win clash in the Super Four stage of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai on Tuesday (September 06). After getting off to a brilliant start with two wins in a row in the group stage, India's unbeaten run was snapped by Pakistan in their Super Four opener on Sunday. Pakistan produced a valiant performance as they chased down the target of 182 runs to hand India their first defeat in the tournament. However, the loss came at a crucial juncture for Rohit Sharma & Co., who will now have to win their remaining two matches in the Super Four to stand a chance of securing a spot in the final. India will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they take on Sri Lanka on Tuesday.

Yuzvendra Chahal to be dropped? India's predicted playing XI for must-win Asia Cup clash against Sri Lanka

Iga Swiatek was given a mighty scare by little-known Jule Niemeier on Monday before the Polish top seed finally handed the 108th-ranked German a 2-6 6-4 6-0 reality check in the fourth round of the U.S. Open.

Swiatek, who collected her second Roland Garros title amid a 37-match winning streak earlier this year, barely looked like the world's best player as she sprayed the court with errors to surrender the opening set.

She handed Niemeier a break in the third game of the second set with a clumsy mistake at the net. Sitting on her bench with her towel over her head during the changeover, she loudly smacked her thigh in anger before returning to the court with new resolve, winning the next three games.

The pair traded breaks twice to close out the second set but Niemeier scarcely put up a fight in the third, producing 14 unforced errors as her game quickly unravelled.

Swiatek, who won in Doha, Indian Wells, Miami and Rome this year, sounded rattled after the match as her usual legion of Polish supporters rallied around her from the stands.

"I'm just proud that I didn't lose hope," she said in an on-court interview. "I had hard time like pushing her back."

India cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has come down heavily on the trolls targeting Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh over his dropped catch in the Super Four clash against Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday. Arshdeep has been subjected to vicious abuse after his mistake in the game as India lost by five wickets.

Pakistan batter Asif&nbsp;Ali got a reprieve during the 18th over of their 182-run chase against India in Dubai on Sunday when Arshdeep spilt a sitter. It was a routine catch but pressure seemed to have gotten the better of the fast bowler, who dropped a dolly. Ali went on to score 16 runs off 8 balls and take Pakistan home in the last-over thriller.

Arshdeep has since been on the receiving end of merciless trolling and abuse online. Several former cricketers have come out in support of the youngster, including Gavaskar, who lashed out at the trolls stating that they should not be taken seriously.

"No former cricketer has criticised Arshdeep," said during a discussion on Sports Tak.&nbsp;“Who are these people who are critical of Arshdeep? Why do we need to give credence to them? How many of them can catch the ball that flies into the stands? Rarely anyone. So how does their comments matter,” he added.

Further questioning the credentials of those hiding behind their social media accounts and abusing players, Gavaskar said players should avoid letting the unwarranted criticism get to their heads. The former India captain believes a player should take note if a former cricketer says something nasty about them but ignore the trolls.

“I actually don't even know why people take all these people who are commenting adversely seriously. Who are they? If a former player or a fellow player actually says something nasty, something critical, then you take note. You can't ignore that because that person has had the experience of having played the game," said Gavaskar.

“Somebody who has never played the game, somebody, who is hiding behind some anonymous identity, why would you take them seriously," he added.

Virat Kohli's recent comments in the post-match press conference after India's five-wicket loss against Pakistan sent social media abuzz. In the presser, Kohli recalled how former India captain MS Dhoni was the only one among those who played with him, to text him after he had left India's Test captaincy earlier this year.

Kohli, who scored his second successive fifty in the Asia Cup against Pakistan on Sunday, spoke about a range of topics during the presser. However, his comments about only Dhoni texting him post his resignation from Test captaincy set social media on fire.

Kohli said many former cricketers who have been criticising him on TV over the last few months, have his phone number but it was only Dhoni who sent him a text.&nbsp;

“I can tell you one thing... when I left Test captaincy, I got a message from only one person, with whom I have played previously - MS Dhoni,” Kohli said in the presser.

“Many people have my number. On TV, lots of people give suggestions, but whoever had my number, no one texted," he added.

Reacting to his comments, a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) official has expressed his disappointment and said Kohli had the backing of the board and his teammates when he stepped down as Test captain. The official added that everyone at BCCI wished him on social media.

“Virat has had the backing of everyone. From his teammates to everyone at the BCCI. To say that he did not get the support, is not true. He was granted a break to rejuvenate, he got frequent rest. Even everyone at BCCI wished him on social media when he stepped down from Test captaincy. So, I don’t know what he is talking about,” a senior BCCI official was quoted as saying by InsideSport.

Kohli has looked far calmer and focused in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 after making his comeback for the Indian team post his short hiatus from cricket. He looks close to rediscovering his form and has so far scored 154 runs in three games, including two fifties in the last two games.

VAR (Video Assistant Referee) was under the scanner once again for a controversial decision during Manchester United's 31- win over arch-rivals Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday. United brought an end to Arsenal's winning streak in the competition by handing them their first defeat of the season.

However, it was not the most perfect start for United in the game against the Premier League table-toppers. The Gunners took lead after Gabriel Martinelli scored the opener in the 11th minute, however, the goal was ruled out after a VAR check.

It was deemed that United midfielder Christian Eriksen was fouled by Arsenal's Martin Odegaard in the build-up to the goal. After the goal was disallowed much to Arsenal's dejection, United piled on more misery on them as Antony scored on debut to put them ahead.

Arsenal equalised in the second half but two sensational goals from Marcus Rashford later in the game put the game to bed for United as they clinched a comfortable victory. While Arsenal fans are still complaining about the controversial VAR decision, shocking footage has emerged from the game which shows Gunners striker Gabriel Jesus deliberately kicking United defender Lisandro Martinez.

The video of the incident has now gone viral on social media.

In a shocking confession, Juventus star Paul Pogba admitted to having contacted a witch doctor but denied allegations that it was to cast a spell on his France teammate Kylian Mbappe. Pogba is at the centre of a massive controversy after his elder brother Mathias Pogba accused him of using witchcraft to hinder Mbappe's performances for France.

What appears to be a long-brewing family feud, kicked off after Mathias shared a weird video on social media vowing to make 'explosive' revelations against Pogba. The Juventus star's camp responded immediately by levelling allegations of extortion against Mathias. Pogba's team alleged&nbsp;Mathias was part of a syndicate which is trying to extort money out of Pogba.

Responding to the claims of extortion, Mathias went on to open a can of worms against Pogba and accused him of using witchcraft on Mbappe.&nbsp;It has now come to light that Pogba did resort to using witchcraft but he has clarified it had nothing to do with Mbappe.

As per France Info, Pogba admitted to paying a witchcraft doctor in his second police interview with French investigators last month. In the interview, Pogba said he got in touch with the witch doctor for the sake of a humanitarian organisation which helps children in Africa, not Mbappe.

The French authorities opened a case after Pogba alleged he was the victim of attempted blackmail. Pogba had earlier claimed his brother Mathias and some of his childhood friends are part of the gang&nbsp;which recently demanded 13 million euros from him.

As per France Info, Pogba also claimed his brother Mathias might be getting involved because the real blackmailers 'have dirt' on him. Pogba told the investigating officials that he had received a text message from Mathias on joining Juventus from Manchester United earlier this summer which read -&nbsp;“You will think of us now that you have received a signing bonus.”

Pogba has reportedly also changed his phone number twice to try and get away from the blackmail attempts but his efforts have gone in vain so far. The French midfielder is currently out of action for Juventus due to an injury in his right knee and he might have to undergo surgery which will put his World Cup chances in doubt.
