World Cup champion Lionel Messi expressed remorse over his actions during the World Cup quarterfinals, including wild celebrations and gestures towards Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal. Messi and his teammates received criticism for their behaviour following their 2-2 draw on December 9 and subsequent win on penalties. The Paris Saint-Germain player ran in front of Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal as he cupped his hands over his ears in celebration of his 73rd-minute penalty goal. Messi had mentioned that the Netherlands manager used derogatory remarks about Argentina during the pre-match press conference.

"I knew what Van Gaal had said but it [the goal celebration] happened on the spur of the moment. I didn`t like what I did, I didn`t like what happened after. These are moments of nervousness and everything happens very quickly," Messi said in an interview in Paris with Andy Kusnetzoff`s "Perros de la Calle" as quoted by ESPN. At full-time, the Argentina captain was spotted arguing with Van Gaal and Edgar Davids, his assistant. During a post-game interview, Messi allegedly yelled at Netherlands goal scorer Wout Weghorst.

Meanwhile, Messi stated he wouldn't have it any other way despite the long wait to win the World Cup. In Messi's sixth World Cup, Argentina defeated France on penalties in Qatar to win their first World Cup in 36 years. "I think if I had to choose the moment, it would have been this one. It`s at the end of my career, closing a circle. I achieved everything with the national team I always dreamed of. I got everything in my career, individually. It was closing my career in a unique way. I never imagined that all this was going to happen to me when I started and getting to this moment was the best. I have no complaints and I can't ask for more. We won the Copa America [2021] and the World Cup, there`s nothing left," stated Messi. Messi stated that he wanted Diego Maradona to witness Argentina`s first World Cup victory since the Napoli icon assisted his country in winning the trophy in 1986.

Maradona, Messi`s World Cup 2010 coach, passed away in December 2020."I would have liked that Diego Maradona would have handed me the [World] Cup or at least to have seen all of this. To have seen Argentina as world champions, considering how much he desired it and how much he loved the national team. I think he from above, as well as many other people that love me, gave me strength," Messi said.

Rishabh Pant is currently recovering well post his horrific car accident on December 30, 2022. While he will certainly be out of action for quite some time, the 25-year-old has made a mark in international cricket especially in the post-Covid era. The going hasn't been easy for Pant, who has often been compared to MS Dhoni, pointed out for his keeping skills and ordinary T20I record but the young keeper-batter has weathered all storms to be India's first-choice stumper across formats.

R Sridhar, India's former fielding coach, recently revealed how he was often annoyed by Pant's stubborness. In his book 'Coaching Beyond', Sridhar narrated how he struggled working with Pant initially before the youngster slowly and steadily followed his inputs to hone his keeping skills and improve overall.&nbsp;

"There were some inputs he was little reluctant to take. Because he trusted the game that had brought him to this level. Sometimes, I must confess, it drove me nuts, his stubbornness. But getting angry or frustrated wasn't going to help anyone. I had to find a way to get Rishabh to try and do different things, if only for him to figure out if those changes might actually be beneficial to his keeping," Sridhar wrote in his book.

"We spent a lot of time together at practice, often just him and me and I decided it was time for a little tough love. I stopped giving suggestions and inputs and would ignore his quizzical looks when the ball burst through his hands or he fumbled with his collection. Rishabh has the smarts so it didn't take him long to work out something wasn't quite right," Sridhar asserted.

"After a while he walked up to me and said 'Sir, you aren't saying anything. Please tell me what to do. Smiling inwardly, I said 'Maybe you should lead with your head and not with your hands'. Satisfied at having got me to shed my silence, he did precisely that. As the head led the way, so did the body and he was more assured in collecting the ball."

At present, the Indian cricket fans are desperately hoping for Pant to recover and return to the Indian team as soon as possible. Given the horrific accident he suffered, it will take time before he returns to the 22-yard cricket strip. He is set to miss IPL 2023 and might also be ruled out of this year's ODI World Cup on home soil.

MS Dhoni served Indian cricket with distinction. During his illustrious career, he amassed 17,266 international runs, slammed 16 tons, accounted for 634 catches and 195 stumpings, and smashed 359 sixes but became a darling of the nation during his captaincy tenure, leading India to all three major ICC titles. While Dhoni was known for his calm demeanour as a leader, there were several occasions when he lost his cool on his teammates.

During the West Indies tour of India in late 2014, Dhoni blasted the Indian players for their shoddy fielding efforts during an ODI at the previously named&nbsp;Ferozshah Kotla Stadium, New Delhi. While India won the game by 48 runs, in defence of 263 for 7, but then skipper Dhoni wasn't pleased with his troops. R Sridhar, India's former fielding coach, recalled the whole incident in his book 'Coaching Beyond'.

"Getting back to my early days with the Indian team... following MS' inputs, we began to get out fielding house in order with the World Cup in mind. We were playing West Indies at the Feroz Shah Kotla in October 2014 - a match we won comfortably but where we were absolutely shoddy on the field. MS was furious at what he perceived to be lack of effort and dipping fitness standards," Sridhar, who became the fielding coach in 2014, said.

After the match, Dhoni stated, "I feel quite a few things are missing. We have to pull our socks up. We have not played to our potential. This game is a crucial eye opener for us. We are on the winning side, but we could have lost this."

Sridhar revealed that Dhoni didn't mince his words when he joined his teammates in the dressing room and gave them an earful along with an ultimatum. "In the dressing room, he ripped the team to shreds and gave them an ultimatum, making it clear that if they didn't meet certain standards in fielding and fitness, they would not make the World Cup cut, no matter what name they answer to. That showed me the kind of fielding culture he was looking to establish in white-ball cricket," Sridhar added.

Under Dhoni, India focused on remaining calm under pressure, becoming a better fielding unit, and&nbsp;played with several bowling options along with a good batting depth. At present, Dhoni is preparing for IPL 2023 in India, which is likely to get underway in April.

Novak Djokovic played with a three-centimetre (1.2 inches) tear in his hamstring during his run to a record-extending 10th Australian Open title, tournament director Craig Tiley said on Wednesday.

The Serbian, who suffered the hamstring injury en route to winning the warm-up title in Adelaide, won the season-opening major after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in Sunday's final for a men's record 22nd Grand Slam title, matching Rafa Nadal's haul. "This guy I did see, he had a three-centimetre tear in his hammy," Tiley told SEN Sportsday. "Absolutely (I saw the scans), the doctors are going to tell you the truth.

"There was a lot of speculation about whether it was true or not, it's hard to believe that they can do what they do with those kinds of injuries. "He's remarkable, to deal with it extremely professionally."

Djokovic's coach Goran Ivanisevic said after the final that the world number one battled the injury, which would have forced most players to quit. "He's so focused on everything he does, with every single minute of the day," Tiley added. "That's what he eats, what he drinks, when he does it, how he does it.

"There's no breakdown or mental breakdown in anything that he does. He's been through a lot and to win 10 Australian Opens, I don't think that's ever going to be repeated... He'll hold a significant place in the history of the Australian Open."

Pakistani cricketers are known to be vocal on various aspects of the modern-day game and never shy away from expressing their views. Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq made a bold claim about India's star pacer Jasprit Bumrah in 2019.

Back then, Razzaq had stated during an interview with Cricket Pakistan, "I have played against great bowlers like Glenn McGrath and Wasim Akram, so Bumrah is a baby bowler in front of me and I could have easily dominated and attacked him." This time around, Razzaq has once again taken a dig at Bumrah while comparing him with Pakistan's young pacer Shaheen Afridi.

Speaking to a local news channel in Pakistan,&nbsp;Razzaq said, "Shaheen Afridi is way better than Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah is nowhere close to Shaheen's level." It is to be noted that Bumrah has&nbsp;a total of 319 wickets in 30 Tests, 128 ODIs, and&nbsp;60 T20Is. On the other hand, Shaheen has accounted for 99 scalps in 25 Tests, 62 wickets in 32 ODIs, and 58 scalps in 47 T20Is. At present, both Shaheen and Bumrah have been out of action due to injury concerns.

'This is enough, I cannot do this anymore'

After making a comeback, from a knee injury, during the 2022 T20 World Cup, Shaheen once again got injured (hurting his knee)&nbsp;during the tournament finale while diving to take a catch. Since then, he has been kept out of action and recently opened up on his struggles during rehabilitation. "There were times when I wanted to give up," Shaheen told&nbsp;PCB Digital. "I was working on only one muscle and it was not improving. Often during the rehabilitation sessions, I used to say to myself 'this is enough, I cannot do this anymore'. But then I used to watch my bowling on YouTube and see how well I had done and that motivated me and I told myself 'to push a little more' ... It is frustrating for a fast bowler to miss cricket because of an injury."

<section itemprop="articleBody">
"It is tough when you miss your home games because of the injury. Before our Test home season, I even missed the seven England T20Is. I was more distressed about missing the Tests because I like Test cricket more. A bowler is measured on how he performs in Test cricket and I wanted to take wickets against England."

Both India and Pakistan will be desperate to regain the services of Bumrah and Shaheen, respectively, with the ODI World Cup set to be held later this year in India.

Pakistani cricketers are known to be vocal on various aspects of the modern-day game and never shy away from expressing their views. Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq made a bold claim about India's star pacer Jasprit Bumrah in 2019.

Pakistani cricketers are known to be vocal on various aspects of the modern-day game and never shy away from expressing their views. Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq made a bold claim about India's star pacer Jasprit Bumrah in 2019. Back then, Razzaq had stated during an interview with Cricket Pakistan, "I have played against great bowlers like Glenn McGrath and Wasim Akram, so Bumrah is a baby bowler in front of me and I could have easily dominated and attacked him." This time around, Razzaq has once again taken a dig at Bumrah while comparing him with Pakistan's young pacer Shaheen Afridi. Speaking to a local news channel in Pakistan, Razzaq said, "Shaheen Afridi is way better than Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah is nowhere close to Shaheen's level." It is to be noted that Bumrah has a total of 319 wickets in 30 Tests, 128 ODIs, and 60 T20Is. On the other hand, Shaheen has accounted for 99 scalps in 25 Tests, 62 wickets in 32 ODIs, and 58 scalps in 47 T20Is. At present, both Shaheen and Bumrah have been out of action due to injury concerns.

Shaheen is very good, Jasprit Bumrah nowhere near him: Razzaq once again takes a dig at India pacer

India and Australia are set to resume their cricketing rivalry with the commencement of the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy, in India, starting on February 09. Ahead of the series opener, in Nagpur, Indian cricket's ardent fans are recalling the memorable 2020/21 edition where Ajinkya Rahane-led India stunned Australia on their home soil to win 2-1.

During the four Tests, there were many stars for India including Hanuma Vihari. Vihari was injured, along with R Ashwin, but the duo battled all odds and a hostile bowling spell from the Aussies on Day 5 of the third and penultimate SCG Test to help secure a draw for the visitors; keeping the series alive at 1-1 before India won 2-1. Ahead of the upcoming India-Aus series, Vihari has once again made heads turn for his bravery. During his side&nbsp;Andhra Pradesh's Ranji Trophy quarter-final match, the right-hander came out to bat after he injured his left-hand wrist during the opening day&nbsp;and was forced to retire hurt. On Day 2 (Wednesday), when Andhra lost&nbsp;No. 11 batter Prithvi Raj Yarra on the fourth ball of the 118th over, skipper Vihari returned to the middle to add some&nbsp;vital runs to his team's total.

The video of Vihari's courageous efforts has gone viral in no time and many have lauded him, including Dinesh Karthik. Here are some of the reactions:

India are gearing up for the third and final T20I versus New Zealand, to be held at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, Ahmedabad on Wednesday (February 01). Ahead of the series finale, with the scoreline being 1-1, former Indian spinner and captain Anil Kumble lavished praise on some young Indian players and mentioned two&nbsp;future superstars.

Having worked closely with pacer Arshdeep Singh, during his sting as Punjab Kings' (PBKS) coach, Kumble lauded the left-arm seamer and reckoned he has a bright future. In his limited international appearances, Arshdeep has taken 39 T20I wickets in 25 matches and was part of Rohit Sharma-led India's Asia Cup and T20 World Cup campaigns.

"Having worked closely with someone like Arshdeep, it’s wonderful to see him grow into what he’s done for India. I would look at Arshdeep as the next superstar bowler coming through," said Kumble on JioCinema.

Among the young batters, India have abundance of talents in the form of Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Prithvi Shaw, Rahul Tripathi and the likes. Kumble, however, picked ODI double centurion Ishan as a superstar in the making.&nbsp;"From a batting perspective, Ishan Kishan is someone who’s been wonderful in the opportunities he’s got. He got a double hundred and he’s someone who I think will be a superstar," Kumble asserted.

Meanwhile, former Indian stumper Parthiv Patel mentioned two different names. "He's (Umran) quick and bowling well and already played for India. He’s someone who can be a superstar. Batting-wise, having seen Tilak Varma in the last couple of years, I had the opportunity to scout him and see the cricketer he has become. We’ve seen his batting ability, and he has the ability to go on and lead the side. He’s someone who comes across as a leader."

At present, Hardik-led Indian T20I team will be eager to win the three-match series versus the Kiwis before the action moves to the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and visitors Australia, starting on February 09.

On Friday (January 13), the Hockey World Cup 2023 edition will kick off in Bhubaneshwar-Rourkela. The tournament will commence with the group stage -- Pool A, B, C and D -- which will be followed by the crossovers, quarterfinals, semifinals and the final. The opening day will see as many as four games but the main focus will be on hosts India as they will take on Spain in their tournament opener on Friday evening.

The Harmanpreet Singh-led Indian team are one of the contenders for the mega title. However, they will be eager to start off on a winning note on Friday evening. In the 2018 edition, also held in Bhubaneshwar, Manpreet Singh-led India started off on a good note but finished at the sixth position, losing to the runners-up Netherlands in the quarters. This time around, they will aim to go all the distance and win the trophy.

So far, India have won only one World Cup, in 1978, and featured in the final in 1973. Hopes are pinned on the national team to break their World Cup trophy drought. Following a bronze medal finish in Tokyo 2020 and returning as the silver medallist in CWG'22, India will be confident in starting their campaign in style. They are placed in Pool D, along with England and Wales.

Men's Hockey World Cup 2023 Live Streaming: When and where to watch India vs Spain match?

In a shocking development, eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt is reportedly missing millions from his investment account. Thus, an investigation has been launched as the Jamaican authorities are looking into it.&nbsp;Bolt’s manager, Nugent Walker, informed the Gleaner that Jamaica’s Financial Investigations Division and Financial Services Commission have commenced their investigation and are looking into the case at investment firm Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL).

As per Walker, the 36-year-old Bolt came to know&nbsp;of the discrepancies with his accounts at SSL just a few days back, on Wednesday (January 11). “All the relevant steps have been taken to come to the bottom of this,” Walker told the Gleaner, adding that he couldn't reveal the sums involved&nbsp;due to the&nbsp;investigation which is already underway.&nbsp;“He’s been with this entity over 10 years ... His entire portfolio is being reviewed,” Walker added.

SSL employee the mastermind?

According to the Gleaner, an SSL employee has been hinted at being involved&nbsp;in widespread fraud at the company. Thus, it is believed that the employee can be behind the developments surrounding the legendary athlete.&nbsp;However, the employee's lawyer&nbsp;told the Gleaner, "My client is in discussion with SSL and the lawyers representing SSL."

Bolt remains a big name in the world of sports despite hanging his boots&nbsp;in 2017. The Jamaican, who holds world records in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay, has several lucrative sponsorship deals under his belt. It is to be noted that he&nbsp;earned a whopping $33m from sponsorship, prize money, and appearances fee in 2016. Overall, his stocks haven't gone down by any means&nbsp;following his retirement.

For now, it will be interesting to see how quickly can the Jamaican authorities reach a conclusion regarding millions missing from Bolt's investment accounts.

While Md Siraj (3 for 30) and Kuldeep Yadav (3 for 51) were the star performers with the ball, India managed to get past the finish line in the run-chase, after tottering at 86 for 4, courtesy of KL Rahul's gritty 64&nbsp;not out and vital contributions from Rohit, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel and Kuldeep (10 not out). Meanwhile, Virat Kohli -- who scored his second successive&nbsp;ton during&nbsp;Guwahati ODI -- perished for a nine-ball 4; being cleaned up by Lahiru Kumara.

After Kohli's dismissal, many on social media platforms criticised his ability to bat under pressure. However, former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir backed Kohli and said on Star Sports, "Virat Kohli is there because he is Virat Kohli. He has scored tough runs for India whenever needed."

At times, Kohli's critics do question his ability to perform under pressure, especially in ICC knockouts, however, he still has done well in many such games (for instance, during the&nbsp;Champions Trophy 2013 and final, 2017 CT semi-final, T20 World Cup 2014 semi-final and final,&nbsp;semis of 2016 and 2022 editions) but failed to get going in CT'17 finale, 2015 and 2019 ODI World Cup knockouts and 2021 WTC summit clash. On the other hand, there is no doubting his abilities to score tough runs in bilaterals across formats and bail the team out in crisis. He has done that on innumerable occasions throughout his career.

Kohli will definitely aim for a big score in the third and final ODI, in&nbsp;Thiruvananthapuram, on Sunday (January 15).&nbsp;
