<p>It was a chaotic day at the office for India’s legendary batter Virat Kohli after he was dismissed in a freak manner in the final session of Day 2 in the ongoing first Test match against Bangladesh. Batting in the second innings on Day 2, Virat was dismissed for 17 off 37 after stand-in umpire Richard Kettleborough deemed him lbw. However, replays suggested that Virat had hit the ball with his bat before the ball hit his pads while he did not opt for the Decision Review System (DRS).</p>

<h2><strong>Rohit, Kettleborough stunned by Virat’s dismissal</strong></h2>

<p>On the second ball of the 20th over, Virat was deemed lbw by Kettleborough which saw the Indian batter out. However, his strange call to not take DRS came as a surprise for many including Rohit Sharma. Replays clearly showed that he had hit the ball before it hit the pads raising eyebrows. Rohit who was dismissed for 5 earlier and sitting in the dressing room was furious and discontent with the decision.</p>

<p>On the flip side, Kettleborough was seen giving a broad smile as he realised his mistake of giving him out. The Englishman has been an eccentric figure in India’s ICC matches while the Men in Blue have been on the receiving end.</p>

<h2><strong>India take giant steps</strong></h2>

<p>After starting Day 2 on 339/6, it was not long before Ravindra Jadeja was dismissed for 86 as he failed to add to his tally. Soon Ravinchadran Ashwin was dismissed for 113 off 133 as he helped India 376. Debutant Akash Deep added 17 runs to his tally while Jasprit Bumrah scored 7 with the bat. Mohammed Siraj bagged a duck to end the Indian innings.</p>

<p>Hasan Mahmud on the other hand became the first Bangladesh bowler to scalp a five-fer on Indian soil. Taskin Ahmed bagged three wickets while there were wickets a piece for Nahid Rana and Mehidy Hasan Miraz.</p>

<p>In response to Indian innings, Bangladesh were all over the place with Shakib Al Hasan being the only significant contributor with 32 runs. In 47.1 overs they were bowled out for 149 with Jasprit Bumrah ending at 50/4 while Siraj, Akash Deep and Ravindra Jadeja bagged two wickets each.</p>

<p>India would close the day at 81/3 in 23 overs with Shubman Gill (33) and Rishabh Pant (12) in the middle.</p>

<p>Carlos Alcaraz has admitted to being starstruck when he first faced Rafael Nadal, saying that facing the 22-time Grand Slam champion was "kind of a nightmare".</p>

<p>Speaking in Berlin on Thursday ahead of the Laver Cup, the 21-year-old Alcaraz reflected on his on-court battles with fellow Spaniard Nadal.</p>

<p>"It was a huge thing when I played him for the first time," said the world number three. "The other times for me were kind of a nightmare."</p>

<p>Alcaraz already has four Grand Slam titles, winning his first at the 2022 US Open in the same year while Nadal won his most recent major at the French Open.</p>

<p>Nadal, 38, was set to take the court alongside Alcaraz in Berlin, but pulled out due to his continued struggles with injury.</p>

<p>"Playing against Rafa is always tough. Every time for me, it was a privilege to share the court," added Alcaraz.</p>

<p>"Every time I faced him, I tried to be a good enough player to beat him."</p>

<p>There was speculation Nadal may retire from the sport at the Laver Cup, as great rival Roger Federer had done two years ago, but he is set to continue.</p>

<p>Alcaraz will play doubles alongside German Alexander Zverev for Team Europe at the tournament, with their first clash coming against Americans Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton for Team World.</p>

<p>Preparing to play on home soil, Zverev said of Alcaraz: "It's a privilege to share the court with a legend of our sport already."</p>

<p>The two have clashed three times in 2024, including in the French Open final, which Alcaraz won in five sets.</p>

<p>"I think it's amazing to hear my teammates call me a tennis legend, but I try not to think about it," said Alcaraz.</p>

<p>"Above all, what makes you a legend in tennis is what you contribute to the sport and how you try and take tennis to the top, to be heard in every corner of the world.</p>

<p>"To attract the largest possible audience, to people who have never seen tennis in their lives, thanks to you they watch it on TV or start to play, that makes you a legend, apart from the tournaments you have won and the success you have."</p>

<p>Team Europe won the first four Laver Cups, starting in 2017, but Team World have won the past two.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Alcaraz has the most Grand Slam titles of any current player besides Nadal and Novak Djokovic.</p>

<p>Team World captain John McEnroe, who this week called Alcaraz "the biggest breath of fresh air we've had in the sport in 10 years", said Thursday the emergence of a next generation of talent meant the men's game was in good hands.</p>

<p>"We were just watching the three greatest players who ever lived," McEnroe said. "(We thought) what's gonna happen? And suddenly, things seem to be doing OK.</p>

<p>"We've got some energy in our sport and this event helps with it."</p>

Laver Cup: Playing Rafael Nadal is 'kind of a nightmare', says Carlos Alcaraz

<p>RF Athletics High Performance Centre’s (HPC) athletes sparkled at the SAFF Junior Athletics Championships in Chennai by winning five medals at the competition. DM Jayaram starred by winning a brace of medals, a bronze in the men’s 100 m event and a silver in the men’s 4x100 m relay event, where he was joined by fellow Odisha-RF HPC athlete Mahendra Santa.</p>

<p>Sabita Toppo claimed silver in the women’s 100 m hurdles event in an eye-catching display and Laxmipriya Kisan also won silver in the women’s 800 m event.</p>

<p>Speaking about the performance, Martin Owens, Head Coach, Odisha-RF HPC said, “The SAFF Junior Athletics Championships was a really good meet and a really good opportunity for some young athletes to represent India for the first time. From our point of view, Jayaram ran exceptionally well. He was up against two very high-quality Sri Lankan sprinters, who like Jayaram had taken part in the Junior World Championships. He ran his best race of the season so far, so I was very pleased with his effort.</p>

<p>“Jayaram and Mahendra also ran really well in the 4x100 m relay team. Mahendra is still recovering from dengue, and he’ll run even better in the future. Laxmi was a big positive, as she only got called up at the last minute. She had a short turnaround but ran really well. The best performance from our contingent for me was Sabita’s as she ran under 14&nbsp;s for the first time. When she is in tip top condition, she does very well. Really proud of the team here in Odisha for preparing the athletes so well."</p>

<p>The Odisha-RF HPC, is a strong collaborative effort of the Odisha Government and Reliance Foundation, with the aim to improve the standard of athletics across the state and produce home-grown athletes who can achieve both national and international success.</p>

<p>Acknowledging the role played by the Odisha-RF HPC in his success, Jayaram said, “My life has completely transformed in the last two years, and I feel like I have come a long way.

To win medals in an international competition is a dream come true moment for me, and I feel very proud.”</p>

<p>Kisan, who was a last minute entry, clocked a time of 2:10.87 to win silver. Sabita notched her personal best of 13.96 s and was inside the previous SAFF junior record en route to her medal. Jayaram ran a season best of 10.56 s, which was also inside the SAFF junior record for India.</p>

Premier League champions Manchester City arrive in India for Champions 4-in-a-row trophy tour

<p>Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah has been the focal point of India’s success in recent years, including the T20 World Cup in June. While the Indian team was in the United States for the group stages of the premier event, Bumrah was seen flexing his muscles as he took on NFL star Micah Parsons in a funny challenge. A video was released on the NFL’s official YouTube channel, as players both were seen exchanging a piece of their expertise.</p>

<h2><strong>Bumrah takes on NFL star Parsons</strong></h2>

<p>In the video shared, Bumrah is first seen bowling his deadly deliveries to Parsons on a practice pitch. Little familiar with the cricket rules, Parsons eventually hits a ball with the bat and strolls for a run. However, his gesture to drop the bat and run caught the netizens laughing. The linebacker from the Dallas Cowboys is then served underarm deliveries from the bowling coach, where he hits the ball big time.</p>

<p>Former Sri Lankan Test cricketer Dulip Samaraweera was banned Thursday from holding any position within Australian cricket for 20 years over "inappropriate behaviour".</p>

<p>The 52-year-old, who played seven Tests and five ODIs in the 1990s, was appointed head coach of the Victoria state women's team in May.</p>

<p>But his tenure was short-lived after&nbsp;alleged inappropriate behaviour towards a woman player.</p>

<p>Cricket Australia's Conduct Commission banned him "from  holding any position within CA or a state or territory association (including any W/BBL team) for 20 years ".</p>

<p>In a statement, it cited a serious breach of their code of conduct.</p>

<p>Cricket Victoria chief Nick Cummins commended the bravery of the victim for speaking up.</p>

Former Sri Lankan Test cricketer Dulip Samaraweera was banned Thursday from holding any position within Australian cricket for 20 years over "inappropriate behaviour". The 52-year-old, who played seven Tests and five ODIs in the 1990s, was appointed head coach of the Victoria state women's team in May. But his tenure was short-lived after alleged inappropriate behaviour towards a woman player. Cricket Australia's Conduct Commission banned him "from  holding any position within CA or a state or territory association (including any W/BBL team) for 20 years ". In a statement, it cited a serious breach of their code of conduct. Cricket Victoria chief Nick Cummins commended the bravery of the victim for speaking up.

"It is our view that the conduct was utterly reprehensible and a betrayal of everything we stand for at Cricket Victoria. "The victim in this case has demonstrated incredible strength of character and courage in speaking up."

<h2><strong>Ashwin scores sixth Test ton</strong></h2>

<p>Coming to bat in the second session of Day 1 after a poor start, Ashwin and Jadeja came good for India&nbsp;struggling&nbsp;at 144/6. Both batters came to bat at the same stage after the quick fire dismissals of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul. However, Ashwin&nbsp;did not hesitate and got a good helping hand from Jadeja as the duo rotated the strike.</p>

<p>Ashwin brought his fifty in the 60th over and continued to excel along with Jadeja. He scored&nbsp;his sixth Test hundred, second at Chepauk, to add more memorable moments to his vault.</p>

<h2><strong>India recover from poor start</strong></h2>

<p>While Ashwin-Jadeja came in handy for Team India, it was a poor start for Rohit Sharma’s men, after India lost the toss. Interestingly, Bangladesh became the first team since 1982 to win the toss and choose to bowl in Chennai. Skipper Rohit (6) was dismissed after a poor start, while Shubman Gill followed him as he went without troubling the scorers. Former skipper Virat Kohli was also out of ideas when he was dismissed for 6.</p>

<p>Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul then contributed 39 and 16 respectively, before Bangladesh struck again. Hasan Mahmud was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets, while Nahid Rana and Mehidy Hasan Miraz also bagged a wicket each.</p>
