Elena Rybakina's memorable journey to historic Wimbledon triumph

Virat Kohli's spot in India's T20I squad has been questioned by several former cricketers and experts of late amid his ongoing rough patch with the willow. Kohli has been far from consistent for India in international cricket over the last few years and has struggled to notch up big knocks for the team. His struggles continued as Kohli made his comeback in T20Is for India in the second T20I against England on Saturday (July 09).

Kohli returned to India's playing XI in a T20I match after the gap of four months but failed to make an impact as he was dismissed on just 1 run off 3 balls. While his lean patch is a huge concern for India heading into the T20 World Cup 2022, the rise of the likes of Deepak Hood and Suryakumar Yadav has further created uncertainty over his spot in the team.

Kohli was included in the playing XI for the 2nd T20I against England in place of in-form Deepak Hooda, who was enjoying a stellar run in the top-order. However, Kohli failed to justify his inclusion with another flop show at Edgbaston. Amid his rough patch, former England captain Michael Vaughan said Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid are not considering dropping Kohli.

However, Vaughan insisted the captain-coach do cannot keep picking Kohli on the basis of his performances in the past. Vaughan also suggested Kohli take a break from all cricket and miss the upcoming five-match T20I series against West Indies post the England tour which he feels will do a lot of good for the former India captain.

“He (Virat) needs to score runs at a good strike rate. I am sure Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma are not considering dropping him. But you can’t just keep picking a player because of what he has done in the past," Vaughan said on Cricbuzz ahead of 3rd T20I.

“I have been saying he needs a break as it will do him a world of good. So missing the five T20Is against West Indies will be best thing to happen to him. But if there was ever a ground where you could get a quick score with great strike rate, Trent Bridge is the ground to get your form back," he added.

Despite Kohli's poor show in the game, India managed to thrash England by 49 runs in the second T20I on Saturday to clinch the three-match series 2-0 with back-to-back wins. The Rohit-led side is currently locking horns with England in the third and final T20I at Trent Bridge and will be aiming to clean sweep the series 3-0.

Rafael Nadal is one of the toughest competitors in the history of sports. It's a dream for many to beat the tennis legend on the court as the Spaniard is known for his remarkable grit and resilience. However, Nadal has been challenged by MMA star Rafael Fiziev, who claimed he can beat the Spanish great in his own sport in a bid to decide who is the best 'Rafael in sport'.

Lightweight star Fiziev was on top of the world after he knocked out Rafael dos Anjos in a clash between the two at the UFC Vegas 58 on Sunday. It was one of the most important wins of Fiziev's career as he delivered a skull-rattling fifth-round knockout to Dos Anjos in the fight.

The Azerbaijan fighter won the battle between two Rafaels in the ring but decided to go one step ahead during his post-match interview as he ended up calling out tennis legend Nadal. When asked who he would like to fight next, Fiziev sounded out a warning to Nadal claiming he could even battle it out on a tennis court with the Spaniard for the title of best Rafael in sport.

"Rafael Nadal! Yeah, where (is) him? I can beat him in his sport too," said Fiziev in his post-match interview after his win against Dos Anjos. The Azerbaijan said he has already established himself as the best Rafael in UFC but wants to take on Nadal to be the best Rafael in sport.

“Now we know who is the best Rafael in the UFC. Now I want to make new challenge who is the best Rafael in the sport. Rafael Nadal, come here, come here," he said calling out Nadal.

"I hear about him a long time but I never see him in life, for real. Of course, everyone knows this guy," the UFC star added.

Nadal was recently seen in action during the ongoing Wimbledon 2022 where he continued his red-hot form after winning back-to-back Grand Slam titles this year. Nadal was set to face Australia's Nick Kyrgios in the semi-final but had to pull out due to an abdominal injury.

One of the most successful captains and wicket-keeper batters to have graced the game, MS Dhoni donned the Indian jersey for one final time on this day in 2019. The former India captain's last appearance for the Men in Blue came in the semi-final of the 2019 ODI World Cup against New Zealand at Old Trafford in Manchester where he scored a gritty half-century but failed to help India qualify for the final.

The semi-final between India and New Zealand was played over two days due to rain. While India restricted the Kiwis on 239/8 on Day 1, they were not as clinical with the bat during their run-chase on Day 2 and eventually fell short of the 240-run target. It was a woeful batting performance from India with Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja saving them from a terrible collapse.

India lost their top 3 of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli for a combined total of 3 runs before Dinesh Karthik was sent packing on 6 off 25 balls leaving the team reeling on 24/4 in the 240-run chase. Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya then combined to steady the ship but failed to build a good partnership.

Jadeja then joined forces with Dhoni in the middle to produce a sensational rescue act for India. The all-rounder notched up a cracking 77 off 59 balls to add 116 runs for the 7th wicket with Dhoni before being dismissed in the 48th over.

With 36 required off the last 12 balls, the onus was on Dhoni to finish the game but the veteran wicket-keeper batter was run-out by a stunning throw from Martin Guptill in the 49th over. His dismissal confirmed India's exit from the World Cup and it also turned out to be his last appearance for India in international cricket.

Dhoni went on to announce his retirement from international cricket on August 15, 2020, to bring curtains on an illustrious career spanning over 15 years. He remains the only captain to have won all three major ICC white-ball trophies for India. He won the T20 World Cup in 2007, ODI World Cup in 2011 and the Champions Trophy in 2013.

On this day in 2019: MS Dhoni's last match for India ends in a heart-breaking World Cup defeat

Netherlands midfielder Jill Roord cancelled out Jonna Andersson`s opener for Sweden as the defending champions salvaged a 1-1 draw in their heavyweight Group C clash at the women`s European Championship on Saturday.

Both teams started cautiously and a dull first half at Bramall Lane sprung to life when Sweden took a deserved lead in the 36th minute through Andersson who smashed home from close range following some excellent wing play from Kosovare Asllani.

Lina Hurtig almost got a second with a diving header minutes later before Danielle van de Donk blazed over for the Dutch, capping a miserable half in which they took off goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal and defender Aniek Nouwen due to injury.

Netherlands manager Mark Parsons told reporters that both players had been taken to hospital but he was not sure of the extent of the injuries.

"We remained calm. How often do you lose your captain and central defender in the first half?" he said.

"We are concerned about their situation, but their replacements (keeper Daphne van Domselaar and Marisa Olislagers) did very well. I`m proud of how we fought back. In the end it`s a shame we didn`t win."

Netherlands, watched by their men`s team`s head coach Louis van Gaal, flew out of the traps after the break and hit back through Roord in the 52nd minute after she was brilliantly set up by Arsenal forward Vivianne Miedema.

Miedema grew into the game as the half wore on, driving at the Swedish defence with real menace, and nearly played in Roord for the winner but the Wolfsburg player was denied by a superbly timed tackle from Magdalena Eriksson.

"We kept it compact, and from there on we started playing football," said Miedema.

"Sweden are a great team. We were kind of surprised that they came out with five at the back, but we picked that up well in the end. I think they will go very far, and I hope we can do the same."

Netherlands and Sweden share spoils in Women's Euro 2022 group opener

Virat Kohli's horrendous run with the bat continued in the second T20I against England on Sunday (July 10) as he was once again dismissed cheaply on just 1 off 3 balls. Kohli made his comeback in the T20I side after a gap of almost four months but failed to live up to the expectations once again as he was sent packing in no time after coming out to bat at number three.

Despite Kohli's flop show, India managed to thrash England by 49 runs in the 2nd T20I after successfully defending the total of 170 runs to clinch the three-match series 2-0 with two wins on the trot. However, the former Indian skipper's form remains a huge concern for the Men in Blue with the T20 World Cup 2022 just a few months away.

Kohli has been enduring a rough patch across all formats for India for the last few years and his recent failures have led to former cricketers and experts questioning his spot in India's T20I team. Kohli's spot is also a matter of debate after Deepak Hooda's stellar rise and stunning performances in the top-order for India in their last few T20I matches.

Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja recently gave his take on the debate surrounding Kohli's spot in India's T20I team and said it's a call captain Rohit Sharma would have to make. Jadeja believes Rohit will have to decide if he wants to play the brand of cricket that India want with Kohli in the side or without him.

"You have been shown that there is another way of playing the same game. You are still scoring around 180 to 200. It's not that the game has changed, but you have a choice of how you want to play. I think Rohit Sharma will be making that call," Jadeja told Sony Sports.

"I think anyone who is leading the side has only two choices. That's the way I see it. Either you stick to the way you have been playing, give opportunities to youngsters or you go back to your old team that played before you started trying to give opportunities," he added.

Kohli was roped into India's playing XI for the second T20I against England in place of in-form Deepak Hooda, who had scored a match-winning half-century in the series opener. Hooda has been sublime form in the shortest format and has made the most of opportunities that have come his way so far.

Speaking about the intense competition for spots in the Indian top-order, Jadeja said Kohli would npt have been part of his team if he was to pick a T20I side for India. The former India batter also made a bold claim that Kohli wouldn't have been playing in Tests as well if not for his reputation for what he has done for the team in the past.

"Virat Kohli is a special player. If it wasn't Virat Kohli, he wouldn't have probably playing Test cricket as well. You look at the numbers and say 'oh, over the last 8, 10 matches, he hasn't scored a hundred'. But you don't leave him out just because he hasn't scored a hundred. You don't leave him out because of what he is done in the past," said Jadeja.

"Virat Kohli is a choice that you have to make. Do you want to play that solidity at the top and then get runs right at the back? It's that old-style when Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will bat at the top and you would have players like Dhoni where they get 60 in the last 4 overs. It depends on whom you want to play. I feel you have a choice, it's a tough one to make. If I had to pick a T20 side, Virat probably won't be there," he explained.

Kohli has not scored a hundred in international cricket since 2019 and has been far from consistent for the Indian team across the three formats. He was rested from the South Africa series at home post the IPL 2022 and made his comeback in the one-off 5th Test against England earlier this month.

Kohli flopped in the Test match as India lost by seven wickets. He was rested from the first T20I in the ongoing series before making his return in the 2nd T20I and was expected to fire but he once again endured a disappointing outing. Kohli will be hoping to notch up a big score when India take on England in the final 3rd T20I on Sunday (July 10).

Virat Kohli's horrendous run with the bat continued in the second T20I against England on Sunday (July 10) as he was once again dismissed cheaply on just 1 off 3 balls.

"Virat Kohli is a special player. If it wasn't Virat Kohli, he wouldn't have probably playing Test cricket as well. You look at the numbers and say 'oh, over the last 8, 10 matches, he hasn't scored a hundred'. But you don't leave him out just because he hasn't scored a hundred. You don't leave him out because of what he is done in the past," said Jadeja. "Virat Kohli is a choice that you have to make. Do you want to play that solidity at the top and then get runs right at the back? It's that old-style when Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will bat at the top and you would have players like Dhoni where they get 60 in the last 4 overs. It depends on whom you want to play. I feel you have a choice, it's a tough one to make. If I had to pick a T20 side, Virat probably won't be there," he explained.

He was rested from the South Africa series at home post the IPL 2022 and made his comeback in the one-off 5th Test against England earlier this month. Kohli flopped in the Test match as India lost by seven wickets. He was rested from the first T20I in the ongoing series before making his return in the 2nd T20I and was expected to fire but he once again endured a disappointing outing. Kohli will be hoping to notch up a big score when India take on England in the final 3rd T20I on Sunday (July 10).

Novak Djokovic will lock horns with Nick Kyrgios in the men's singles final at Wimbledon 2022 on Sunday (July 19). Six-time Wimbledon champion Djokovic has won the last three editions of the tournament and will be looking to continue his stellar streak this year with a fourth consecutive title triumph. Australia's Kyrgios will be aiming to win his maiden Grand Slam title in his first-ever final appearance at Wimbledon.

Djokovic, who is yet to win a Grand Slam title this year, will be hopeful of closing in on arch-rival Rafael Nadal, who has gone ahead in the race with 22 Grand Slam titles to his name. Djokovic is currently tied at 20 with the legendary Roger Federer.

Djokovic defeated British Cameron Norrie in the semi-final after coming from behind. He had lost the first set 2-6 but went on to clinch the game 2-6,6-2,6-3,6-4 to make it to his fourth successive final at Wimbledon. Kyrgios, on the other hand, was scheduled to face Rafael Nadal in the semi-final but got a walk-over after the Spaniard pulled out of the tournament due to an injury.

Novak Djokovic will be gunning for his 21st Grand Slam title when he goes up against Australian Nick Kyrgios in the men's singles final at Wimbledon 2022 on Sunday (July 10). While Djokovic defeated Cameron Norrie in the semi-final, Kyrgios got a walk-over after Rafael Nadal pulled out of his semi-final clash against him due to a torn abdominal muscle.

While Djokovic has been a force to reckon with at Wimbledon having won the last three titles at the All England Club, this will be Kyrgios' first-ever final appearance in the prestigious competition. Ahead of the summit clash, the duo enjoyed some fun banter on Instagram.

The banter between the two finalists started after Kyrgios took to his Instagram story to post a tweet about the improved relationship between the duo and asked Djokovic if they were friends now? Djokovic was quick to respond and said he would accept the invitation if Kyrgios was taking him out for a drink or dinner.

"If you are inviting me for a drink or dinner, I accept. PS winner of tomorrow pays," wrote Djokovic responding to Kyrgios. The Aussie star nailed the deal with Djokovic and wrote - "Deal, let's go to a nightclub and go nuts.” The chat between the two finalists has gone viral and it seems the duo will be off to a club for some drinks post the final on Sunday.

Kyrgios and Djokovic have been great rivals on the court but their relationship off the court too seemed to have been strained after the Aussie had slammed the Serbian ace for hosting an exhibition tournament in Belgrade where he tested positive for the virus in 2020.

Kyrgios had also criticised Djokovic over his strict stance against COVID-19 vaccine. However, he had later extended his support to Djokovi when the Serb was detained by the Australian officials ahead of the Australian Open over his COVID-19 vaccination status earlier this year. It seems the duo has dcided to bury their hatchet finally and will be catching up after the Wimbledon final on Sunday.

Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios is one match away from a first Grand Slam title but his brother, Christos, said on Sunday the Australian is already a champion in his family`s eyes after winning an off-court battle with his inner demons.

Nick Kyrgios, who in recent years had become well known for his antics and outbursts, opened up on his mental health struggles in February, saying he had had suicidal thoughts in the past.

"For a big chunk of the last six or seven years, I lost my little brother," Christos wrote in a column for the Sydney Morning Herald. "The world changed him. Tennis changed him. He became distracted, always worried about something.

"People wouldn`t know this but Nick and I stopped talking for quite a while. He was so unhappy in himself that he shut out the people that had his best interests at heart."

Christos added that he had "got his baby brother back" and credited Nick`s girlfriend, Costeen Hatzi, for helping turn his brother`s life around.

"Since he met his girlfriend Costeen, she`s helped open his eyes again. There was a lot of chaos in Nick`s life before he met her," he said.

"On Sunday night, I believe the rest of the world will get Nick Kyrgios the Wimbledon champion. For us, we`ve already got our baby brother back. Mum and Dad have got their son back.

"He is already a champion in all our eyes. Seeing him mature and evolve back into the happy fulfilled version of himself is all that I could have asked for ... I just want to see him winning in all aspects of life."

Virat Kohli's disastrous run with the bat continued in the second T20I between India and England at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Saturday (July 09). Kohli made his much-awaited comeback to the Indian T20I team after four months in the second game of the series after missing the series-opener. All eyes were on the batting maestro, who was expected to fire all cylinders and respond to his critics in style amid his lean patch.

However, Kohli failed to get going once again as he endured yet another disappointing outing with the bat. The former India skipper was dismissed after scoring just 1 run off three balls and failed to make an impact in the game. He was roped into the playing XI in the place of in-form Deepak Hooda but failed to justify his inclusion.

Kohli was expected to open the batting with skipper Rohit Sharma after Ishan Kishan was dropped from the XI but India instead promoted wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant at the top in a move that surprised many. Kohli came out to bat his usual no.3 spot but it was the same story for the Indian star.

Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria slammed Kohli for his poor show in the 2nd T20I and said he is becoming a liability for Team India now. Kaneria believes Kohli should give up his spot in India's T20I squad if he cannot bounce back to form ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia this year.

"When the big guns were out, even then the team was performing, the youngsters were doing the job. The big player should understand that he is becoming a liability to the team. Virat Kohli has become a liability now. So, either he needs to give up his place or make a comeback before the T20 World Cup," Kaneria said in a video on his YouTube channel.

Kohli was playing only his 3rd T20I for India since leaving captaincy in the shortest format last year. He did not feature in the home series against New Zealand last year and also missed the series against Sri Lanka and South Africa this year. He has been enduring a lean patch across formats in international cricket over the last few years and has struggled to score runs consistently.

Rohit Sharma became the second captain after Virat Kohli to win a T20I series in England as India thrashed the hosts by 49 runs in the second T20I at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Saturday. It was a clinical all-round performance from the Men in Blue, who successfully defended the target of 170 runs to register their second win in a row and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

India made four changes in their playing XI from the series-opener as the likes of Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja all returned to the side. The visitors continued with their new attacking approach with the bat after being asked to bat first at Edgbaston.

Rishabh Pant was promoted to open the batting and the move paid off well as he combined with skipper Rohit Sharma to give the team a flying start. The duo added 49 runs for the first wicket before India lost three wickets in quick succession as the two openers departed while Virat Kohli's lean patch continued.

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja came to India's rescue and slammed a brilliant cameo of unbeaten 46 to guide them to a fighting total of 170 runs. In reply, England were skittled out for a paltry 121 in their run-chase as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah ran riot with the ball. While Bhuvneshwar finished with excellent figures of 3/15 in his 3 overs, Bumrah picked up 2 wickets while conceding only 10 runs off his 2 overs.

The Rohit Sharma-led side earned praise from all corners for their stupendous display against England in the second T20I. Former England skipper Michael Vaughan also lauded India for their tremendous effort and said the team is showing promising signs ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022 this year.

"2 performances from India that have been high class but still with room for improvement .. plus a player or 2 who are not in the side that could improve them .. very promising leading into the T20 WC," Vaughan wrote in a tweet.

Rohit Sharma became the second captain after Virat Kohli to win a T20I series in England as India thrashed the hosts by 49 runs in the second T20I at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Saturday.

Rohit Sharma became the second captain after Virat Kohli to win a T20I series in England as India thrashed the hosts by 49 runs in the second T20I at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Saturday. It was a clinical all-round performance from the Men in Blue, who successfully defended the target of 170 runs to register their second win in a row and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. India made four changes in their playing XI from the series-opener as the likes of Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja all returned to the side. The visitors continued with their new attacking approach with the bat after being asked to bat first at Edgbaston. Rishabh Pant was promoted to open the batting and the move paid off well as he combined with skipper Rohit Sharma to give the team a flying start. The duo added 49 runs for the first wicket before India lost three wickets in quick succession as the two openers departed while Virat Kohli's lean patch continued. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja came to India's rescue and slammed a brilliant cameo of unbeaten 46 to guide them to a fighting total of 170 runs. In reply, England were skittled out for a paltry 121 in their run-chase as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah ran riot with the ball. While Bhuvneshwar finished with excellent figures of 3/15 in his 3 overs, Bumrah picked up 2 wickets while conceding only 10 runs off his 2 overs.
