Vin Scully, one of baseball`s most revered broadcasters who called Dodgers` games for a record-breaking 67 years and narrated some of the sport`s greatest moments, died on Tuesday at the age of 94, the team announced. "We have lost an icon," Dodgers President &amp; CEO Stan Kasten said.&nbsp;

Scully joined the Dodgers` broadcast crew in 1950 when the club still played in Brooklyn. He followed the team to Los Angeles in 1958, where for generations of Southern California fans he was "the soundtrack to summer," personifying "Dodger baseball" more than any player.

He also attracted a national following as the voice of NBC`s baseball "Game of the Week" and broadcast numerous World Series. In October 2016, when at age 88 he left the Dodgers booth, long since named in his honor, he completed the longest tenure with one team of any professional sports broadcaster.

In his final games, he was celebrated by the Dodgers at an emotional farewell ceremony, hailed as a "national treasure" by the U.S. Congress and the national media, and saluted by fans and players alike with standing ovations. Shortly after his retirement, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America`s highest civilian honor, at a White House ceremony.

When told of the honor, said President Barack Obama: "Vin asked with characteristic humility, ‘Are you sure? I’m just an old baseball announcer.’ And we had to inform him that, to Americans of all ages, you are an old friend.” Known for his "golden voice," articulate phrasing and rich knowledge of the game, Scully announced some of the most historic games in baseball in language almost as memorable as the events he was describing.

"In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened," Scully declared in the moments after a limping Kirk Gibson homered to win Game One of the 1988 World Series for the Dodgers. "There`s 29,000 people in the ballpark and a million butterflies," Scully said as he set the scene for the climax of Sandy Koufax`s September 1965 perfect game against the Chicago Cubs.

Many commentators view Scully`s call of the game`s final inning as worthy of the top ranks of baseball literature.m "You`re the patron saint of all baseball announcers," New York Yankees` announcer Michael Kay told Scully as he interviewed him in 2013. "All we do is want to be you."

NEW YORK TO L.A. 
The tall, red-haired Scully was born in New York City on Nov. 29, 1927, and attended Fordham University in the Bronx. He joined the Brooklyn Dodgers` broadcasting team at storied Ebbets Field in 1950, apprenticing with famed play-by-play announcer Red Barber.

From Barber, he learned the power of precise, colorful language and the value of describing the action objectively rather than following the custom of many other announcers in openly rooting for the home team. 
"Brooklyn and the Dodgers meant more to Red Barber than to almost anyone," Scully said in his interview with Kay. "But on the mike, he was always objective, always fair. Barber has been the big influence in my life."

Scully was not yet 26 when he took the helm in the booth for the Dodgers in the 1953 World Series after Barber bowed out because of a dispute over his fee. The next season, Scully became the team`s lead play-by-play man as Barber moved to the New York Yankees. The Dodgers of that era, immortalized by writer Roger Kahn as "The Boys of Summer," featured such greats as Jackie Robinson, who broke baseball`s color bar, Duke Snider, Pee Wee Reese and Roy Campanella.

Scully was on the air in 1955 when the team won its only World Series in Brooklyn after several agonizing Fall Classic losses to the Yankees. The following year, Scully did the television play-by-play for the last half of what is still the only perfect game in World Series history, pitched by Yankee Don Larsen against the Dodgers.

Although he later criticized his description of the game as being overly dry, Scully can be heard on the preserved television broadcast telling viewers: "Let’s all take a deep breath as we go to the most dramatic ninth inning in the history of baseball. I’m going to sit back, light up, and hope I don’t chew the cigarette to pieces."

`IT`S TIME FOR DODGER BASEBALL` 
But it was the Dodgers` move west after the 1957 season that propelled Scully into the ranks of the game`s biggest announcers. "It`s time for Dodger baseball" became Scully`s signature greeting to viewers and listeners before every game.

His voice became indelibly linked to the team from its very beginnings on the West Coast when the Dodgers played in the cavernous Los Angeles Coliseum while their own park was being built. Fans, straining to follow the action in the Coliseum`s vast expanses, began bringing transistor radios to hear Scully`s play-by-play, a practice they carried to Dodger Stadium when it opened in 1962.

The 1960s Dodgers were wildly popular with their fans and were among baseball`s best teams, led by Hall of Fame pitchers Koufax and Don Drysdale, and record-breaking base-stealer Maury Wills, of whom Scully once said: "When he runs, it`s all downhill." But it was Scully - not the athletes performing such feats - who was voted "the most memorable personality in Los Angeles Dodger history" by the club`s fans in 1976. 
In the 1970s, Scully also became a fixture in national sports broadcasts, calling National Football League games and PGA golf for CBS-TV from 1975 to 1982, baseball`s "Game of the Week" on NBC television from 1983 to 1989 and CBS radio broadcasts of the World Series from 1990 to 1997.

He scaled back his broadcast schedule in his final years with the team to announce only home games or those in Western states. But his presence was deeply felt by Dodgers fans. As waves of adulation engulfed him at the Dodgers` farewell ceremony for him, Scully credited the fans as his inspiration.

"When you roar, when you cheer, when you are thrilled, for a brief moment, I am eight-years-old again." 
Scully, who passed away at his home in Hidden Hills, leaves behind five children - Kevin, Todd, Erin, Kelly and Catherine, 21 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Sandra Scully, Vin`s wife of 47 years, died in January 2021 at 76.&nbsp;

Rohit Sharma-led India returned to winning ways in the third T20I, of the five-match series, versus West Indies in the Caribbean island on Tuesday (August 02). After losing the second match by five wickets, India were asked to chase 165 after opting to bowl first at the Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts.

In reply, Men in Blue rode on opener Suryakumar Yadav's 44-ball 76&nbsp;and Rishabh Pant's unbeaten 26-ball 33 to chase down the score in 19 overs with seven wickets to spare. Captain Rohit couldn't do much as he retired hurt for 11 due to back spasm. Despite his short stay in the middle, the 35-year-old surpassed his predecessor Virat Kohli to attain an elite feat as the Indian captain.

Hitman now has most number of sixes as Indian captain in the shortest format. He was tied with Kohli at 59 sixes before taking his tally to 60 prior to his injury forcing him out of the field. Rohit has 60 sixes in 34 innings as captain, with Kohli (59) and MS Dhoni (34) following suit.

Rohit also opined on his injury after the conclusion of the match. "It's okay at the moment. We've got a few days till the next game, hopefully it should be okay (his injury)."

The Indian captain lauded his team for bouncing back swiftly to take a 2-1 lead in the five T20Is. In this regard, he stated, "How we bowled in the middle overs was crucial. I thought we used the conditions well. Used the variations well. Was very clinical how we chased. When you watched from the outside, didn't feel a lot of risk was taken, was a lot of calmness in the middle. Surya batted brilliantly, good partnership there with Iyer. The pitch had something in it for the bowlers, not an easy target. Was important to pick the right shots, right balls on a ground like that."

The fourth and penultimate match will be held in Florida on August 06 (Saturday).

WI vs IND, 3rd T20I: Rohit Sharma goes past Virat Kohli to achieve elite feat as Indian skipper

Dinesh Karthik made a comeback into the Indian team post his heroics in IPL 2022. Playing the role of a finisher to perfection for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Karthik was recalled in the T20I side for the home series versus South Africa, in early June, and the keeper-batter has won two Player-of-the-Match (POTM) awards since then.&nbsp;

In the ongoing five T20Is between India and West Indies, the 36-year-old Karthik returned with his third POTM performance, overall, courtesy of an impressive 19-ball 41 not out in the series opener in Trinidad, on July 29. DK is making a strong case to be included in Rohit Sharma-led India's T20 World Cup squad, for this year's showpiece event in Australia,&nbsp;where he is expected to replicate MS Dhoni's role as a finisher. Former Indian opener and chief selector Kris Srikkanth, however,&nbsp;feels the veteran is just providing the 'final touches' and isn't a 'finisher'.

"Your definition of a finisher is wrong. Yes, Dinesh has been doing very well. He has been brilliant in the IPL and a few matches here. But that is not a finisher! A guy who can take the match from 8th or 9th over and finish it can be called a finisher. What Dinesh is doing can be called final touches. Take Suryakumar Yadav. We saw that he almost single-handedly won the match in England. That's the finishing role. Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant are finishers... and our captain (Rohit) can open and play till the 17th over in 12th gear is also a finisher," Srikkanth pointed out on&nbsp;FanCode&nbsp;during the India-WI third T20I on Tuesday (August 02), which visitors won by seven wickets.

"An actual finisher doesn't play between 16-20 overs. A finisher is a guy who takes the match along from 8th or 9th over and eventually finishes with 60 odd runs. Dinesh's role is defined. He is doing fantastic but he is fine-tuning the finishing role instead of actually being a finisher," he added.

DK will be eager to come up with more match-winning performances in the remaining two T20Is versus West Indies. By playing some key roles especially in run-chases, he will tick&nbsp;a lot of boxes to cement his spot for the mega event in Australia, later this year.

Indian weightlifter Lovepreet Singh added another medal to India`s tally after capturing a Bronze medal in the final of the Men`s 109 kg category at the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham on Wednesday. He finished with a combined lift of 355 kg. It consisted of 163 kg in his final Snatch attempt and a best of 192 kg in the Clean and Jerk category. Cameroon's Junior Periclex Ngadja Nyabeyeu took home the Gold with a combined lift of 361 kg, which consisted of the best lift of 160 kg in the Snatch category and the best of 201 kg in the C&amp;J category. The silver medal went to Samoa`s Jack Hitila Opeloge who had a combined lift of 358 kg. It consisted of the best lift of 164 kg in the Snatch category and 194 in the C&amp;J category.

Lovepreet Singh was off to a great start. He lifted a solid 157 kg in the first Snatch attempt and he took the lead after this. His other opponents outdid him and he was dethroned from the first spot. His second Snatch attempt was an impressive 161 kg, which once again placed him at the top. However, in his final attempt, Canada`s Pierre-Alexandre Bessette lifted an impressive 163 kg, which pushed him to number one and Lovepreet was thrown at number two. Lovepreet responded with an amazing 163 kg lift in his final Snatch attempt. He finished the Snatch event tied with Bessette for the second position. At the first position was Samoa`s Jack Hitila Opeloge, who lifted a fantastic 164 kg in his final attempt.

Former England wicket-keeper batter Steve Davis had become the first cricketer to publicly come out as gay. Now, New Zealand's former pacer Heath Davis has also followed suit. The ex-Kiwi speedster, who represented the national side in 5 Tests and 11 ODIs, recently came out of the closet and revealed that he is gay.

Recently, Davis shared his side of the story and revealed how sometimes his off-field struggles impacted his performances on the 22-yard cricket strip.&nbsp;"The first tour to England [in 1994], I was starting to discover myself, was going to a few bars and things privately to see what life was… well, you are on the other side of the world, no one is going to know you. I left that part of my life there. There was a lot of that, just keeping your personal life separate," Davis stated in a documentary series for The Spinoff called "Scratched: Aotearoa's Lost Sporting Legends".

He further asserted, "It was lonely. Going to saunas and seedy places to get sex because you didn't want to be seen and that sort of stuff. I had systems and people in place where I could talk about these things but I didn't feel comfortable."

The former Black Caps'&nbsp;pacer revealed that everyone in Auckland was aware of him being gay and also mentioned that his team members never had any issues knowing his sexual preferences as well.

"All the stars aligned to move," he said. "Everyone in Auckland knew I was gay; in the team it didn't seem to be that big an issue. Maybe some of the young ones if you're sharing a room with them or something, but just petty s**t. Things I thought might have been issues weren't really. I just felt free," he signed off.

While there are not many such revelations in the game of cricket, Davis' recent declaration has inspired many like him to also break the shackles and proudly open up in this regard.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Suryakumar Yadav didn't have the best of starts to the ongoing five-match T20I series between India and West Indies, in the Caribbean island, with back-to-back failures in the opening two games. However, the right-hander came to his own in style in the third T20I and helped India chase down 165 as the visitors now lead the series 2-1.

Talking about the third T20I, held on Tuesday (August 02) at&nbsp;Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts, Rohit &amp; Co. opted to bowl first. Riding on Kyle Mayers' 74 and cameos from&nbsp;Rovman Powell and Shimron Hetymer, WI posted a challenging 164-5. In reply, India lost captain Rohit early -- retired hurt for a 5-ball 11 due to back spasm -- but rode on SKY's entertaining 44-ball 76, Shreyas Iyer's supporting knock and Rishabh Pant's 26-ball 33 not out to go past the finish&nbsp;line.

After the match, SKY won hearts of his fans with a heartfelt gesture, which was shared by BCCI's official Twitter handle. Here's what he did:

Team India have adopted a new attacking approach in the shortest format ever since Rohit Sharma took over from Virat Kohli last year. After the debacle in the 2021 T20 World Cup, where many slammed Men in Blue's timid approach, it seems that the one-time winners have learnt from their past mistakes and are willing to play more aggressively without compromising on&nbsp;their new exciting playing style.

All-rounder Hardik Pandya, who is also Rohit's deputy in the ongoing five-match T20I series versus West Indies in the Caribbean island, threw more weight on India's new approach and also dwelled on his glittering performances ever since his return to competitive cricket, with IPL 2022, after last year's T20 WC.

"The last World Cup was very different than this one, but the process has remained the same. I have maintained a balance in my life now, where if I am performing I will be happy, even if I am not, I will be happy. With that you won't be overconfident while you perform well and won't be too demotivated when the bad slump comes along. That balance is really important," Hardik said in a chat with journalist Vimal Kumar while describing his sensational run since his comeback.

Speaking on India's new playing style, the 28-year-old Hardik stated, "You gain confidence when you see players performing with a new approach, the way with which pressure is being put on opposition bowlers. They might be thinking that even if new-look India are 10-3, they will be looking to score 190 rather than play out the 20 overs. Because of that attitude, this team is looking more and more dangerous."

Currently, the Hardik-starrer India lead the five T20Is versus West Indies 2-1 after beating the hosts by seven wickets in the third encounter on Tuesday (August 02).

Tiger Woods turned down a sum in the region of $700-800 million to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series, the breakaway circuit`s CEO Greg Norman told Fox News. Norman said the offer was made before the Australian was named chief of the controversial series, which is bankrolled by Saudi Arabia`s Public Investment Fund.

"That number was out there before I became CEO. So that number has been out there, yes," two-times major winner Norman said in an interview that aired on Monday night. "Look, Tiger is a needle mover, right? So, of course you`re got to look at the best of the best. They had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. That number is somewhere in that ($700-800 million) neighbourhood."

Brandon King`s fiery knock of 68 after Obed McCoy`s six-wicket haul guided West Indies to the five-wicket win over India in the second T20I of the five-match series at the Warner Park, St Kitts on Monday. West Indies maintained a stronghold on the match in the chase with opener Brandon King playing an anchoring role after Obed McCoy`s six-wicket haul helped the hosts bundle out India for 138 runs.

Chasing a target of 139, West Indies got off to a good start as their openers Brandon King and Kyle Mayers started smashing Indian bowlers all around the ground. But their stint of blistering batting was cut short by Hardik Pandya as he dismissed Mayers in the 6.1 over. Mayers`s wicket invited captain Nicholas Pooran to the crease, who could not do much and went back to the pavilion after scoring 14 runs in 11 balls on the delivery of Ravichandran Ashwin.
