<p>An out-of-sorts Novak Djokovic scraped his way to a 1-6 6-3 6-2 6-2 win over American wildcard Jenson Brooksby on Monday to move into the U.S. Open quarter-finals and three wins from tennis immortality.<br />
<br />
Chasing a 21st major that would seal a calendar year Grand Slam, Djokovic had difficulty getting into gear against the 99th ranked Brooksby, who for a moment looked capable of derailing the Serb.<br />
<br />
For the second consecutive match the world number one came out flat and dropped the opening set, something he will not want to do in his quarter-final when he faces Italian Matteo Berrettini in a rematch of the Wimbledon final which he won in four. The sixth seeded Italian will mark a big step up in quality for Djokovic, who has not faced anyone ranked inside the top 50, including a qualifier and a wildcard.<br />
<br />
The match got off to an extraordinary start as Brooksby took the first set with shocking ease. Playing for the first time on Arthur Ashe Stadium against one of the all-time greats, Brooksby was unfazed while three-times champion Djokovic sprayed shots helter-skelter, committing 11 unforced errors to just one by the young American.<br />
<br />
That was the wake-up call Djokovic needed and he broke Brooksby at the first opportunity in the second set, letting out a mighty roar. Djokovic would win the second but the 20-year-old American made him work for every bit of it, particularly in a grinding fifth game that lasted close to 20 minutes before Brooksby would get the break.<br />
<br />
The last American man standing and coming off his first ever five-setter, Brooksby began to fade in the third, going down a double break as Djokovic finally began to dial in his game.<br />
<br />
Leading 2-1, Djokovic continued to improve in the fourth and moved clear with a double break and offering zero break point opportunities to his opponent before sealing the win.</p>

Novak Djokovic overcomes flat start to reach U.S. Open quarter-finals

<p>Jasprit Bumrah was one of the stars for Team India in their terrific 157-run win over England on Day 5 of the fourth and penultimate Test at The Oval, London on Monday (September 6).</p>

<p>Joe Root-led England resumed the day being well-placed at 77 for no loss in pursuit of 368. From 100 for no loss, England went to lunch at 131-2. While India didn't give away easy runs, they did manage only two wickets in the first session of the final day's play before things changed drastically post the lunch break. Ravindra Jadeja removed Haseeb Hameed (63) which started England's downfall. However, Jasprit Bumrah did an exceptional job from his end, bowling toe-crushing yorkers and his reverse swing being unplayable for the English batters.</p>

<p>Bumrah accounted for the dismissals of Ollie Pope and Jonny Bairstow, which further pushed Joe Root &amp; Co. on the back foot before Umesh Yadav's 3-fer led to England being all-out for 210 in 92.2 overs, losing the Test by 157 runs.</p>

<p>Bumrah, thus, played his part and revealed after the match how he came forward and stood tall with his crucial breakthroughs.</p>

<p>The pacer revealed his chat with captain Virat Kohli post the lunch break. "It's obviously very important to create pressure and we thought it's an important phase. So, I went up to him and told him that I think we should start well and try to create some pressure. So, that was the intention behind it and we're very happy to get this result," said Bumrah after the match.</p>

<p>"A lot of effort went into this win. All the bowlers contributed with the bat, as well as with the ball so very happy for all of them. Really happy with it and hopefully we will carry the momentum into the next match as well," he added.</p>

<p>"The mindset after the lunch break was that we needed to create a lot of pressure and needed to start really well. If you give a lot of runs and the momentum goes away, suddenly you come under pressure and you don't want to play catchup in that situation. So, I was of that mindset that if we start well and create enough pressure, any result is possible. We had a lot of belief and we wanted to run on that belief. I think it worked out well. Obviously, the wicket was on the flatter side and it requires a lot of patience and control, so we wanted to exhibit that and give it our all. In that moment, my mindset is that if I've given it all that I've got, win or lose, I'll accept the result."</p>

<p>“So that is my mindset, regardless of wherever I go and play cricket and that is something I look to carry in the future as well,” he further asserted.</p>

<p>After the fourth Test win, India have an unassailable 2-1 lead and will look for a series victory when the fifth and final Test commences&nbsp;from September 10 (Friday), at Old Trafford, Manchester.</p>

'I went up to him and said....' - Here's how Jasprit Bumrah changed the game for Team India post lunch on Day 5 vs England

<p>Virat Kohli-led India thrashed England by 157 runs on the final day's play, on Monday (September 6), in the fourth and penultimate Test to take an unassailable 2-1 series lead with one game to go. Kohli &amp; Co. started the day with England being 77 for no loss, and further to 100/0, in pursuit of a challenging 368-run target at The Oval, London.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Day 5 commenced with all three results being possible. On a flat deck, England required 291 more for a win whereas Indian bowlers had a tough task to dismiss the English line-up. Starting the day with some disciplined bowling, India slowly and steadily earned the momentum and dominated from thereon as England folded for 210 all-out in the final session.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shardul Thakur-Umesh Yadav ensured some vital breakthroughs whereas Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah troubled the batters and chipped in with two wickets apiece. From 120/1, England were 147/6 and further slipped to 193-8 before being finally bundled out for 210 in 92.2 overs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After India go 2-1 up in the five-match series, with the final Test at Old Trafford, Manchester from September 10, here's how the WTC points table stands:</p>

<p><em>Photo | Screengrab (ICC)</em></p>

<p>After the win, an elated Kohli told at the post-match presentation ceremony, "&nbsp;I am proud of the character shown by the team, this is amongst the top three bowling performances I have witnessed as India captain. The bowlers were good with the reverse swing today. We believed we could get all 10 wickets, we had the belief. As soon as the ball started reversing, Bumrah said give me the ball. He bowled that spell and swung the game in our favour with those two huge wickets. I think you pointed his performance. Rohit's innings was fantastic. What Shardul has done in this game stands out. His two fifties deflated the opposition. I think he batted well in both the innings. We never go towards analysis, statistics and numbers. We know what we need to focus on and we take a collective decision as a group (on the playing XI).</p>

MS Dhoni, the former Indian captain, is a legendary name in world cricket. Dhoni broke into the scene at the international level in late 2004 and became a household name by 2007.

MS Dhoni, the former Indian captain, is a legendary name in world cricket. Dhoni broke into the scene at the international level in late 2004 and became a household name by 2007. From thereon, there was no looking back for the wicketkeeper-batsman, who made a name for himself through his astute leadership, brilliant reflexes behind the stumps, big-hitting and finishing abilities along with being a handy batsman in Tests. Dhoni remains a big name in the cricketing fraternity despite retiring from the gentlemen's game, at the highest level, on August 15, 2020. Courtesy his resounding success for Team India and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL, the 40-year-old remains one of the richest cricketers ever. Here's a collection of some ridiculously expensive things owned by the keeper-batsman - 1) Porche 911 (Rs 2.50 crore) One of the most expensive cars in Dhoni's wholesome collection is the grand Porche 911. As per Financial Express, the supercar is priced at a whopping Rs 2.50 crore and can go from 0-100 km/hr in just 4.5 seconds. Phew! That's some speed. 2) Ferrari 599 GTO (Rs 1.39 crore) Another beast in India's most successful captain's signature collection is the Ferrari 599 GTO. For the unversed, it is priced at around Rs 1.39 crore. Dhoni was gifted the beauty after leading the Men in Blue to a historic World Cup triumph in 2011.

From Porche 911 to Pontiac Firebird Trans Am: 5 ridiculously expensive things owned by MS Dhoni

<p>Virat Kohli's century-drought continued on Day 4 of the fourth and penultimate Test between India and England, at The Oval on Sunday (September 5). While Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja resumed India's innings, from 270-3 with the lead of 171 runs, the right-hander looked in solid touch and was set for a big score when he edged one to the first slip, off Moeen Ali, to walk back for 44.</p>

<p>Kohli's frustrations were visible, when he entered the dressing room, as the pitch was flat and best for batting. However, the 32-year-old couldn't get past 50-run mark and make it count from thereon. Nonetheless, the Indian captain joined former stalwarts such as Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid in an elite list during his 44-run knock.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohli joined Tendulkar and Dravid to become only the third Indian batsman to score 1,000 runs in both England and Australia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Batting great Tendulkar had amassed 1,809 and 1,575 runs in Australia and England respectively whereas former Indian captain Dravid managed 1,143 and 1,376 in both the countries. Kohli, on the other hand, has 1352 runs so far in Australia and surpassed the 1000-run mark in England after moving to 44 in the 109th over of India's second innings.</p>

<p>Talking about the fourth Test, England went to stumps being well-placed at 77 for no loss in pursuit of a challenging 368-run target set by Kohli &amp; Co. Rohit Sharma's 127 and fifties from Cheteshwar Pujara (61), Shardul Thakur (60), Rishabh Pant (50) along with valuable knocks from Kohli and KL Rahul (44 and 46 respectively) ensured India setup a mammoth target for the hosts.</p>

<p>However, the Indian bowlers will have to bowl really well with all three results possible on Day 5 of The Oval Test.</p>

<p>Leylah Fernandez brushed aside yet another former champion as the fearless Canadian teenager stormed into the quarter-finals of the U.S. Open on Sunday with a 4-6 7-6(5) 6-2 win over 16th seed Angelique Kerber.<br />
<br />
It was a precocious and poised performance from Fernandez, who celebrates her 19th birthday on Monday and had already sent a jolt through Flushing Meadows on Friday when she stunned third seed and defending champion Naomi Osaka.<br />
<br />
There would be no letdown for Fernandez after the biggest win of her fledgling career, the youngster soaking up the energy from a seething Louis Armstrong crowd after dropping the opening set to three-times Grand Slam winner Kerber.<br />
<br />
Fernandez had grabbed the early break at 4-2 but could not consolidate it as Kerber, the 2016 U.S. Open winner, broke right back with the help of a pair of double-faults by the Canadian.<br />
<br />
Having made the breakthrough, the experienced German quickly took command, winning four straight games to open up a 1-0 lead.<br />

<p>India batting coach Vikram Rathour has said that the stage has not come yet where the team management starts worrying about the form of Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane. Rahane has been battling severe criticism for his form off late and in the second innings of the ongoing Test, the vice-captain was dismissed for a duck by pacer Chris Woakes</p>

<p>"Not at this point. As I said earlier also, when you are playing cricket for a long time, you will have phases where you will not get runs. That is the time when we need to support the player as a team. As we saw with Pujara also, he has played a couple of important innings for us. We are hoping Ajinkya will get back into form and still play a major role in the Indian team`s batting. I do not think we have arrived at that point where Rahane`s form should become a concern," said Rathour during a virtual press conference after the end of Day Four of the ongoing fourth Test.</p>

<p>"When you are playing such an important series like this one, playing in the conditions which are tough for batting and we are playing against such a disciplined bowling attack, which has been bowling so well, so as a batting unit, the technique is the last thing you should be thinking about. I do not think we are looking at technique right now, there is time to look for it, I do not think mid-series or mid-game is the time for that," he added.</p>

<p>Earlier, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rishabh Pant, and Shardul Thakur all registered scores of more than 50 as India set a target of 368 for England on Day 4 of the ongoing fourth Test here at the Kennington Oval on Sunday. Umesh Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah also played cameos of 25 and 24 as India posted a score of 466 in the second innings, extending the lead to 367. For England, Chris Woakes returned with three wickets.</p>

<p>"Very impressive. As you said earlier, we all knew Shardul could bat, he is somebody who works really hard on his batting and I think the biggest asset is his temperament. I think the confidence he carries in his batting, the body language he has, very impressive. He is just in his fourth or fifth Test match and he has already played three important innings. That tells you he has the ability and he can play a big role in Indian cricket in the coming times," said Rathour while replying to an ANI query.</p>

<p>Just half an hour before the start of play on Day 4, the BCCI said that its Medical Team isolated Ravi Shastri, head coach, Bharat Arun, bowling coach, R. Sridhar, fielding coach, and Nitin Patel, physiotherapist, as a precautionary measure after Shastri`s lateral flow test returned positive on Saturday evening. The remaining members of the Team India contingent underwent two Lateral Flow Tests -- one on Saturday night and another on Sunday morning. The members upon returning negative COVID reports were allowed to proceed for Day 4 of the ongoing fourth Test at The Oval against England." Of course, we are missing Ravi Shastri Bhai massively. Ravi Bhai, Bharat Arun, and R Sridhar have been an extremely important part of this setup, they have done well in the past five-six years and they have played a major role in the team doing well. This is what it is, they are not here. In the morning, it was a bit of a distraction, we had a word and we decided we need to focus on the cricket. We are here for this series, and I think the boys did well to not get distracted. There was a potential we could have been distracted, the credit needs to go to the boys for the way they handled themselves," said Rathour.</p>

<p>"Ravi Bhai felt ill on Saturday night around 8 PM. He was having a little bit of discomfort yesterday, the medical team decided to go for a lateral flow test and it came out positive and that is when we all found that he is positive. The close contacts were identified and isolated so we will wait for the medical team to tell us when they can join back," he added. At stumps on Day 4, England`s score read 77/0-- still needing 291 runs for the win with all ten wickets in hand. For the hosts, Burns (31*) and Hameed (43*) are at the crease."</p>

<p>Ravindra Jadeja will play a massive role on the final day I think. Fifth-day wicket, there is rough on the wicket for the left-handers on the offside so he will play a massive role, I think he bowled with a lot of control in the last five-six overs he bowled. So yes, he is going to be playing a very important role but to pick ten wickets, everybody will have to chip in. I think medium pacers will also need to chip in," said Rathour.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>


India batting coach Vikram Rathour has said that the stage has not come yet where the team management starts worrying about the form of Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane.

India batting coach Vikram Rathour has said that the stage has not come yet where the team management starts worrying about the form of Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane. Rahane has been battling severe criticism for his form off late and in the second innings of the ongoing Test, the vice-captain was dismissed for a duck by pacer Chris Woakes "Not at this point. As I said earlier also, when you are playing cricket for a long time, you will have phases where you will not get runs. That is the time when we need to support the player as a team. As we saw with Pujara also, he has played a couple of important innings for us. We are hoping Ajinkya will get back into form and still play a major role in the Indian team`s batting. I do not think we have arrived at that point where Rahane`s form should become a concern," said Rathour during a virtual press conference after the end of Day Four of the ongoing fourth Test. "When you are playing such an important series like this one, playing in the conditions which are tough for batting and we are playing against such a disciplined bowling attack, which has been bowling so well, so as a batting unit, the technique is the last thing you should be thinking about. I do not think we are looking at technique right now, there is time to look for it, I do not think mid-series or mid-game is the time for that," he added. Earlier, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rishabh Pant, and Shardul Thakur all registered scores of more than 50 as India set a target of 368 for England on Day 4 of the ongoing fourth Test here at the Kennington Oval on Sunday. Umesh Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah also played cameos of 25 and 24 as India posted a score of 466 in the second innings, extending the lead to 367. For England, Chris Woakes returned with three wickets. "Very impressive. As you said earlier, we all knew Shardul could bat, he is somebody who works really hard on his batting and I think the biggest asset is his temperament. I think the confidence he carries in his batting, the body language he has, very impressive. He is just in his fourth or fifth Test match and he has already played three important innings. That tells you he has the ability and he can play a big role in Indian cricket in the coming times," said Rathour while replying to an ANI query. Just half an hour before the start of play on Day 4, the BCCI said that its Medical Team isolated Ravi Shastri, head coach, Bharat Arun, bowling coach, R. Sridhar, fielding coach, and Nitin Patel, physiotherapist, as a precautionary measure after Shastri`s lateral flow test returned positive on Saturday evening. The remaining members of the Team India contingent underwent two Lateral Flow Tests -- one on Saturday night and another on Sunday morning. The members upon returning negative COVID reports were allowed to proceed for Day 4 of the ongoing fourth Test at The Oval against England." Of course, we are missing Ravi Shastri Bhai massively. Ravi Bhai, Bharat Arun, and R Sridhar have been an extremely important part of this setup, they have done well in the past five-six years and they have played a major role in the team doing well. This is what it is, they are not here. In the morning, it was a bit of a distraction, we had a word and we decided we need to focus on the cricket.

Eng vs Ind: Ajinkya Rahane's form not a concern at this point, says Vikram Rathour

<p>Indian captain Virat Kohli was looking set for a big score on Day 4 of the fourth and penultimate Test versus England at The Oval, London on Sunday (September 5). After the strong foundation laid by Rohit Sharma (127) and Cheteshwar Pujara (61), India resumed the penultimate day being well-placed at 270-3, leading by 171 runs, with Kohli-Ravindra Jadeja in the middle.</p>

<p>While Jadeja fell for 17 and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane's (0) poor form continued, captain Kohli looked set for a big one on the fourth day's morning session with some splendid drives. He was even defending the ball nicely and leaving anything pitched in the zone for him to edge it to the keeper or slip-cordon. However, the 32-year-old still missed out on scoring big and ending his century-drought as he came forward to defend a delivery from Moeen Ali which angled towards the first slip for Craig Overton to complete a simple catch.</p>

<p>Thus, Kohli departed for a well-made 44 and missed out on scoring three back-to-back half-centuries in the series. The Indian skipper has worked hard for runs in the last few innings, however, a big score still eludes him. Here's how he reacted after missing out on a daddy hundred -</p>

IPL 2021: AB de Villiers lands in UAE, to join Virat Kohli's RCB camp post quarantine

<p>After the Copa America final on July 11, Brazil and Argentina met once again during the World Cup qualifier match on Sunday (September 5).</p>

<p>However, the game ended with only five minutes of play being possible, as police and health officials stormed onto the field and called for the arrest of four Argentine players, who had travelled with the squad despite participation in the Premier League and broke the quarantine rules after entering Brazil.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per a report in Goal.com, the likes of Emiliano Martinez, Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso were given the green signal to appear in the qualifier match despite being accused of falsifying travel information upon their entry to Brazil, with mandatory quarantine and deportation advised by the Brazilian government for the trio and reserve Emiliano Buendia. Thus, the match saw barely five minutes being passed away when several&nbsp;officers stormed the pitch, much to the surprise of players from both sides.</p>

<p>"It was necessary to keep our sanitary protocol," said Antonio Barra Torres, the head of the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency.&nbsp;"We called the federal police, that went to the hotel and we found out that they had already left for the Stadium. The rest is what you're watching live."</p>

<p>As the Argentine players refused, there were&nbsp;scenes in the middle before match got suspended abruptly.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Fate of the match?</strong></p>

<p>"The World Cup Qualifiers is a FIFA competition," wrote the South American football governing body in a statement. "All decisions concerning its organisation and development are the exclusive power of that institution. The referee and the match commissioner will submit a report to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, which will determine the steps to be followed. These procedures strictly adhere to current regulations."</p>

<p>The PL trio in the Argentine squad came from the United Kingdom. For the unversed, the country is in Brazil's own red-zone. Hence, a scuffle occurred in the middle as Messi &amp; Co. believed that the authorities could've informed them before the match started whereas the police and other health officials reacted as the Argentine PL-returned trio didn't reveal to the immigration and health officials that they had returned from the UK.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After five hours of waiting and four of their players being under the threat of arrest, the Argentine players finally managed to board a flight back home.</p>
