Pakistan great Wasim Akram has made a big revelation on his former captain Saleem Malik. Rift between Malik and Akram surfaced several times during their playing days and now Akram has made some shocking revelations in his&nbsp;biography "'Sultan: A Memoir". The former speedster, who accounted for as many as 916 international wickets, has revealed that his equation with Malik was poor, to say the least, and the senior player took advantage of Akram's junior status.&nbsp;

In his book, the former Pakistan captain Akram said, "He would take advantage of my junior status. He was negative, selfish and treated me like a servant. He demanded I massage him; he ordered me to clean his clothes and boots. I was angry when some of the younger team members in Ramiz, Tahir, Mohsin, Shoaib Mohammad invited me to nightclubs." Even Malik had targetted the likes of Akram and Waqar Younis, stating the duo didn't speak to him during his captaincy tenure.&nbsp;In addition, the former Pakistan batter further alleged that Akram and Waqar wanted captaincy and, hence, didn't follow his instructions while he was leading the national side.

"When I would go to Wasim to hand him the ball, he would snatch it from me, because he wasn't talking to me. There was anger because I had become captain, whereas Wasim and Waqar wanted it. Both of them weren't speaking to me, and yet we won the series." reported Hindustan Times quoting Malik's exclusive interaction with Pakistani media. It is to be noted that Maleek led Pakistan cricket team from 1992-95 and Akram played under him. Later, Akram became captain and in 2000, Malik was found guilty of match-fixing allegations and banned for life for playing cricket.&nbsp;

While years have passed by, it is clear that the equation has never improved between Malik and Akram. It will be interesting to see if the former responds to Akram's fresh allegations.&nbsp;

He demanded massage; ordered me to clean his clothes & boots: Akram's glaring revelation on Saleem Malik

Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal will return to action in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition with their second game on Tuesday (November 29). After a 3-2 win over Ghana, the former Euro champions will take the field to continue their winning momentum but have a stronger opposition to face this time around in the form of Uruguay. Talking about the Luis Saurez-starrer Uruguay, they didn't have an impressive start, returning with a 0-0 stalemate versus South Korea in their opening clash in Qatar.

Thus, Portugal will start as favourites but Uruguay have enough firepower to counter Ronaldo &amp; Co. In the 2018 edition, the Portuguese were shown the door in the Round of 16 with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the same opposition to crash out of the mega event in Russia. Will the script remain the same or Portugal will make it two wins in a row? Only time will tell. With the 37-year-old Ronaldo most likely playing his last World Cup, he will like to give his all and marshal his troops to the next round with a convincing win over Uruguay. Portugal have an edge at the moment but they will acknowledge that they weren't at their very best and were challenged quite a lot by Ghana in their tournament opener. Thus, an enthralling contest is surely on cards.

Here's everything you need to know about the clash:

Ruturaj Gaikwad has done the unthinkable! On Monday (November 28), the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) opener flexed his muscles and smashed as many as seven sixes in a single over and returned with a majestic 220 not out, off 159 balls, in Maharashtra's quarter-final tie versus Uttar Pradesh in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 edition. Gaikwad went bonkers in the 49th over and hit seven sixes, including a six off a no-ball, to take his side to a mammoth 330 for 5 in 50 overs.&nbsp;It is to be noted that he has now become the first-ever&nbsp;batter, across all professional formats, to hit seven sixes in an over.&nbsp;

Here's the video of Ruturaj's insane hitting in the penultimate over:

Apart from this, the CSK batter also scripted a record for most sixes in an innings in Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Most sixes in an innings in Vijay Hazare Trophy:

16 - Ruturaj Gaikwad v Uttar Pradesh, 2022 
15 - N Jagadeesan v Arunachal, 2022

Being asked to bat first, Maharashtra lost Rahul Tripathi soon and got some contributions from the form of Ankit Bawne and Azim Kazi, who scored 37 apiece, but their innings were held together by captain Ruturaj. The right-hander held one end and carried his bat to score a magnificent double hundred, laced with 10 fours and 16 sixes at a whopping strike rate of 138.36. Ruturaj, who isn't part of India's upcoming three-match ODI series versus Bangladesh in their own backyard, has made a strong statement with this knock.&nbsp;

Needless to say, it will be a herculean task for Uttar Pradesh to get past this total and seal a spot in the semi-finals of the premier domestic tournament.&nbsp;

Wales and Iran will lock horns in their group stage encounter in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, on Friday&nbsp;(November 25). Wales were held on to a 1-1 draw versus USA whereas Iran were thrashed by Harry Kane-led England, 6-2, and, hence, need a quick turnaround if they wish to progress any further in the mega event.

For Gareth Bale-starrer Wales, this is an important clash and they will hope to return with full points versus the Iranian line-up. They will try to make inroads of Iran's vulnerable defence and plan against Mehdi&nbsp;Taremi. Iran, on the other hand, will try to draw inspiration from the likes of Saudi Arabia and Japan who defeated Argentina and Germany, respectively, in their respective openers.

India locked horns with hosts New Zealand in the three T20Is after the T20 World Cup. Hardik Pandya &amp; Co. rode on good performances from their bowling unit and Suryakumar Yadav's batting heroics to win the rain-affected series 1-0 and the Men in Blue will now face the Black Caps in the three-match ODI series opener on Friday (November 25). With the next ICC event to take place in India, in the form of 2023 ODI World Cup, the preparations for the mega event have kicked off right away and Shikhar Dhawan &amp; Co. will be eager to make a mark. Beating NZ in their own backyard isn't a cakewalk by any means, hence, India will have their task cut-out who are without their regulars such as captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, etc.&nbsp;

The onus will be on the likes of Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Deepak Chahar, Rishabh Pant, etc. from the second-stringed Indian team. The competition will be among the batters auditioning for the middle-order positions to make an impression amid the absence of Rohit &amp; Co. It will be interesting to see if India goes ahead with two wrist spinners on a small ground, in Auckland, or prefer to strengthen their batting line-up with Hooda and Washington Sundar as their spin bowling options.&nbsp;

Ahead of the series opener, stand-in captain Dhawan said, "We guys have been performing well for a period of time. At the same time, talking about myself, I have to keep performing. I know till the time I perform, it would be good for me. It keeps me on my toes and keeps me hungry." Will India begin on a winning note or Kiwis will get off the mark in the home series? Only time will tell...

This has come forward only&nbsp;two weeks after the opposition member of the Sri Lankan parliament Nalin Bandara had made such an&nbsp;allegation&nbsp;for the home series that ended in a 1-1 stalemate. The match under the scanner is the series opener, where Pakistan rode on opener&nbsp;Abdullah Shafique's 160 to chase down 342 with four wickets in hand.

A statement from SCL said, "The executive committee of SLC decided today to invite Mr Alex Marshall, the General Manager of the ICC anti corruption unit to Sri Lanka to investigate recent allegations of match fixing made by a parliamentarian regarding the recently concluded Pakistan tour."

It further added, “Sri Lanka Cricket, as a full member of the ICC and mandated to uphold the integrity of the game at both the national and international level, believes that it is the correct course of action to take in light of the recent allegations made by the aforementioned parliamentarian, which have caused immense reputational damage to Sri Lanka Cricket and its stakeholders."

The Pakistan-Sri Lanka series took place amid the economical crisis in the Island nation, which involved months of political unrest, power and fuel shortage across the nation. Babar &amp; Co. had won the two-match Test series opener, in Galle, whereas Dimuth Karunaratne-led Lankan side levelled the series with a whopping 246-run win in the second and final Test, which was also shifted from Colombo to Galle.&nbsp;&nbsp;

As per a report in Cricbuzz, the ICC would not comment on the anti-corruption matters but it will send an Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) official to carry out the investigation.

Brazil opened their campaign in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition as they faced Serbia on Friday (November 25). The star-studded Brazil line-up, the most successful team in World Cup history, were made to work hard in the first half but twin goals from Richarlison secured them a 2-0 win over Serbia in Group G&nbsp;match at the&nbsp;Lusail Iconic Stadium.

During the contest, Richarlison made heads turn with his two back-to-back strikes. The 25-year-old youngster, making his debut in the World Cup, left fans awestruck with a bicycle kick which gave Brazilians a 2-0 lead. Here's the video of the emphatic strike from Richarlison:

After the first half ended in a 0-0 stalemate, Brazil's attack came all-out in the second half with the likes of Vinicius Jr., Neymar Jr.,&nbsp;Raphinha and&nbsp;Richarlison turning on the heat. While Richarlison got his team off the mark in the 62nd minute, he stunned one and all with his acrobatic effort as his bicycle kick took the Men in Yellow beyond their opposition's reach.

Richarlison's second was well set up by Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Jr. The latter's cross&nbsp;was controlled by the Spurs’ forward, who&nbsp;spun around and leapt&nbsp;to hit the nets&nbsp;with a splendid&nbsp;effort.

After much criticism and arrest threat looming large, the Iran football team sang their national anthem during the FIFA World Cup on Friday (November 25). Taking on Wales&nbsp;at the&nbsp;Ahmed bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Iran team were seen quietly singing the anthem. There were loud jeers from the Iranian supporters as the anthem played with the players singing this time around after much flak received when they chose to remain silent during the side's Qatar WC opener versus England.

The silent protest was due to the disturbance back home over the hijab row in Iran. It is to be noted that the Iranian authorities have reacted with deadly force to curb&nbsp;the protests that have marked one of the biggest challenges for its clerical rulers following the&nbsp;Islamic revolution that shock the country back in 1979.

After Iran players didn't sing the anthem versus England, against whom they lost 2-6, a report suggested that the players, and fans who supported their protest, were in a spot of bother. "The Iranian regime has clearly demonstrated its determination and ruthlessness in seeking to quell that unrest, particularly in public settings," David E. Guinn, a University of Albany research professor of international law and human rights, told Newsweek.

“While the public standing of the players might shield them for a time, particularly while they are competing in the World Cup, that standing will also make them of greater concern to the regime. They don't want prominent individuals stepping forward to feed the flames,”&nbsp;he added.

It seems as if the outside pressure got to the Iranian players who, in turn, had to give in and sing the national anthem during the Wales face-off. The squad will be eager to stay away from any sort of controversy that adds more pressure on them so that they can focus solely on their FIFA WC campaign in Qatar.

After the three T20Is, the action moved to the three-match ODI series between India and hosts New Zealand. In the ODI series opener, held at Eden Park, Auckland, on Friday (November 25), the Black Caps rode on a splendid 145 not out from Tom Latham and captain Kane Williamson's steady 94 not out to chase down India's 306/7 and take a 1-0 lead.

Opting to bowl first, Williamson &amp; Co. had to struggle to get past Shikhar Dhawan-Shubman Gill. The opening pair added an impressive 124-run first-wicket stand before Lockie Ferguson&nbsp;removed Gill for 50 whereas stand-in captain Shikhar Dhawan fell for a 77-ball 72 off Tim Southee. Shreyas Iyer then stitched a vital wicket with Sanju Samson (a run-a-ball 36) after Ferguson removed Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav by bowling some hard lengths on a small ground. Iyer-Samson's 94-run fifth-wicket partnership took India closer to the 300-run mark before Washington Sundar's rapid cameo (16-ball 37*) took India to 306/7. Iyer top-scored with a calculative 76-ball 80.

In the run-chase, NZ started well before Finn Allen, Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell fell to leave hosts reeling at 88 for 3. Umran Malik, debuting in the format, impressed in his early overs before Latham took on every Indian bowler. India went with only five bowlers and paid the price after Latham-Willianson's partnership stretched further.

While the NZ skipper played a composed knock, Latham smashed Shardul Thakur, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal as the Kiwis chased down a par-score in Auckland. The duo stitched a record 221-run fourth-wicket stand to go past the finish line.

Brazilian striker&nbsp;Neymar&nbsp;should be fine to continue in the World Cup despite limping off with a swollen ankle during his team's 2-0 victory over Serbia on Thursday (November 24), coach Tite said. "You can be certain&nbsp;Neymar&nbsp;is going to play at the Cup. I am absolutely certain of this," Tite told reporters, confessing that he was initially unaware of his striker's injury. "I didn't see&nbsp;Neymar&nbsp;was hurt. And he had the capacity to overcome this, he even tricked me."

Team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said Brazil would wait 24-48 hours before assessing&nbsp;Neymar's injury. The Paris St Germain striker, the most expensive player in the world following his record 222 million-euro ($231 million) transfer from Barcelona, played a pivotal role in Brazil's win in their first game in Group G in Qatar.

He wriggled into the box to pass to Vinicius Jr. to set up Richarlison for Brazil's opening goal in the second half. Later, however, he appeared to be in tears as he left the pitch with a visibly swollen ankle. That was reminiscent of the back injury which put&nbsp;Neymar&nbsp;out of the World Cup on home soil in 2014.

Match-winner Richarlison scored a spectacular swiveling overhead volley for Brazil's second goal. "As our professor, Tite has said 'you are smelling goals'!" he told reporters. Serbian coach, Dragan Stojkovic, said team was on the same level as Brazil for the first 45 minutes. "What was for us surprising in the second half was we literally fell physically and we were no longer a team," he explained.
