The upcoming white-ball series between India and Australia couldn't have come at a better time, thinks Aussie white-ball captain Mitchell Marsh. The tour starts with the three-match ODI series on October 19 where Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would be making a comeback to the Indian squad. Right after the series, Australia host England for the iconic Ashes and while the entire focus of Australia is on that series, the India tour promises to be a good rivalry as well.<h2>Marsh lauds rivalry with India</h2>"We'll have all the guys building towards the Ashes but everyone loves playing against India," Marsh was quoted as saying by foxsports.com.au. "We've got a great rivalry and great respect for them as a team. I think it's literally perfect timing to be playing against India in the lead-up to an Ashes series.

Overconfidence or just not important? Aussie skipper Marsh looking at India series as pre-cursor to Ashes

Most-capped West Indies Test batter in this line-up, Shai Hope, scored a brilliant 103 on day four of the ongoing second Test against India in Delhi, also entering an unwanted list with that. Hope stitched a 177-run stand with opener John Campbell for the third wicket but was bowled off Mohammed Siraj shortly after. Although his dismissal triggered a batting collapse, what was worse was that it put him at the top of the list of West Indies players with the most innings between two Test centuries. He joined the likes of former batting legends, including Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo.&nbsp;Since hitting his last Test hundred eight years ago in 2017, Hope completed one 58 innings later at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday (Oct 13). Second on the list is out-of-favour middle-order batter Jermaine Blackwood, who took 47 innings between his two Test tons.

Ever since the introduction of DRS, the decision making has become a bit precise and effective in cricket barring a few exceptions. One such exception was seen during first session on day 4 (Oct 13) of the second ongoing India vs West Indies Test in Delhi. The players involved were West Indies batter John Campbell and India premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah. The DRS call involved a contentious LBW decision which eventually wen in favour of the batter.

The on-field umpire gave it not out, thinking the ball had hit the bat first. Indian immediately review the decision and the ball was closed to the bat. As the third umpire could not find conclusive evidence of ball not hitting the bat first, the not out decision stayed.

With around six weeks to go for the marquee series to get underway, Cummins could be absent from the playing XI, with the hosts working on finalising the best team without him. He, however, hasn’t completely ruled himself out.&nbsp;"I'd say probably less likely than likely," Cummins said of his chances of featuring in the Perth Test, at the Fox Cricket season launch event in Sydney on Monday (Oct 13). "But we've still got a bit of time. &nbsp;"I'm running today and running kind of every second day, and each runs a little bit longer, and then we get into bowling prep next week. So I'm probably a couple of weeks away before actually putting on the spikes and bowling out on the turf. But it's been a good couple of weeks. Each session feels better and better,” he added.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/icc-women-s-odi-world-cup-2025-champions-australia-crush-billion-indian-hopes-again-attain-top-spot-points-table-1760285028518">ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025: Champions Australia crush billion Indian hopes, again; attain top spot</a> &nbsp;When asked about how long it takes for him to gear up in the background to be ready in time for a Test match, Cummins said, “You'd probably want at least a month in the nets. If you are to play in a Test match, you want to make sure you are right to bowl 20 overs in a day, and you don't have to think about it. Four weeks is pretty tight, but I think somewhere around that mark.”<h3>Upset yet realistic &nbsp;</h3>Having avoided an injury of this scale for all these years, Cummins admits to being frustrated about missing the Ashes opener, but has also been realistic about his recovery time and chances of featuring in perhaps the most-talked-about Test series of the year. &nbsp;"Some days I'm kind of annoyed because it's the Ashes, and it's a big summer and then other days I'm kind of realistic," Cummins said.&nbsp; &nbsp;"I've had the last seven or eight years of almost uninterrupted home summers, so I felt like I've had a really good run as a fast bowler. Someone like Josh [Hazlewood], he's been a little bit more unlucky, so maybe it's my turn. But it's such a big summer ahead. Obviously, you want to be in a mix, even with the India One-Day series and T20 series; I wish I was part of that. But it's not to be. It's part of cricket. You're going to get injuries,” he continued. &nbsp;Meanwhile, Cummins will also miss the upcoming home white-ball series against India, including three ODIs and five T20Is. The first game gets underway at the Optus Stadium in Perth on October 19.&nbsp;

Cummins earlier revealed he had a lumbar bone stress issue, and that he is recovering while eyeing an early return to the playing XI for the home Ashes.

In the ongoing Test match between India and West Indies, Pacer Jayden Seales has been fined 25% of his match fees and handed one demerit point by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for throwing the ball at Yashasvi Jaiswal.

At 5 am, when most of the capital lay wrapped in sleep, Delhi felt different. The air was cool — unusually so for October — and carried a quiet excitement. Headlights sliced through the pre-dawn darkness as cars, buses, and bikes converged on Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Streets that would soon be choked with traffic were instead lined with barricades, volunteers, and an occasional band of drummers. And in the middle of it all, tens of thousands of runners, warming up in patches of streetlight, waiting to write their story on the city’s empty roads. As the sun prepared to rise, over 40,500 people stood shoulder to shoulder, united not by speed or status but by a shared thrill — to run in the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon 2025.<h2>A Perfect Morning, A Million Smiles</h2>Delhi’s weather, often the great unknown of races, gifted runners a near-ideal morning. A soft breeze brushed past, the skies were clear, and the early light fell gently on faces already lit with anticipation. Strangers became pacers. Volunteers became cheerleaders. The rhythm of footsteps replaced the usual honking chorus. For a few rare hours, the capital felt harmonious — bound by breath, not bustle. “It was a beautiful morning in Delhi, full of energy, with over 40,000 runners and 10,000 women participating,” said Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, capturing the spirit of the day. “This morning truly belonged to the city and its people.”<h2>A Race for Everyone</h2>The 20th edition was as inclusive as it was grand. Beyond the Half Marathon, categories like the Great Delhi Run, Champions with Disability Run, and Senior Citizens Run created space for every kind of participant — from teenagers to 80-year-olds, from professional athletes to first-timers chasing their first finish line.&nbsp;More than 14,000 runners in the Great Delhi Run used their miles to champion social causes — turning personal strides into public statements. Meanwhile, the sight of senior officers from the Army, Navy, and Air Force running together — led by Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh, Lt Gen Rahul R Singh, and Vice Admiral L.S. Pathania — gave the morning a proud, patriotic edge. Jammu &amp; Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah joined the Half Marathon, his sons in the 10K, making it a family affair. The Champions with Disability Run added another poignant layer. Runners on wheelchairs, with prosthetics, or assisted by guides showed that the marathon’s spirit isn’t measured in minutes per kilometre, but in courage per step.<h2>Elite Runners Set the Pace</h2>At the other end of the field, the action was fast and fierce. Kenya’s Alex Matata stormed home in 59:50 to win the men’s race, while compatriot Lilian Kasait Rengeruk claimed the women’s title in 1:07:20, underlining Kenya’s dominance yet again. Among Indians, Abhishek Pal produced a composed run to lift his third VDHM title, clocking 1:04:17, while Seema dazzled in her debut, winning the Indian women’s category in 1:11:23. International Event Ambassador Carl Lewis, nine-time Olympic champion, watched the spectacle unfold with awe. “It’s amazing to witness the energy and athleticism here,” he said. “The men and women out there today were phenomenal; it just shows how far the sport has come.”<h2>A City Runs as One</h2>Behind the scenes, 200 volunteers, 400 medical personnel, Delhi Police, DMRC, and civic bodies stitched together an operation that ensured the massive event flowed smoothly. Water stations, aid tents, clear signages, and disciplined road closures turned Delhi into a runner’s city — if only for a morning.&nbsp;<h2>A Morning to Remember</h2>By the time the city’s usual traffic took over, the runners had long crossed their finish lines. Medals hung around sweaty necks, exhausted faces were stretched into wide grins, and the sun now shone on streets that, for a brief dawn, had belonged to dreamers. The 20th Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon wasn’t merely a marathon. It was a dawn ritual — a collective act of joy, discipline, and community. In a city that often wakes up to noise, this Sunday began with rhythm.While most of the India slept, Delhi ran. And in doing so, it reminded everyone what a city can feel like when thousands chase the same sunrise together.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was the man on song against the West Indies on the opening day of the ongoing second Test in Delhi. After failing to score big in the series opener in Ahmedabad, Jaiswal ensured he was increasing his Test hundred tally at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, and he did that in style. The left-handed batter completed his sixth Test ton on the opening day, slamming a brilliant 175 across two days. His marathon innings included 22 boundaries.&nbsp;Speaking to Jaiswal on the sidelines of the second Test, West Indies legend Brian Lara said just a couple of words to the emerging star, pleading with him to spare his team’s bowlers.

An injury scare has cramped the Indian camp during the ongoing second Test against the West Indies. Indian batter Sai Sudharsan will remain unavailable for fielding on day three at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi due to an impact injury he suffered the previous day. The good news, however, is that his injury isn’t serious and he is doing fine.&nbsp;While fielding at the forward short-leg on day two, Sai picked up the injury while grabbing a stunner off Ravindra Jadeja’s bowling to remove John Campbell. The big West Indian opener smashed a slog sweep that first hit Sai’s helmet grille before getting lodged into his arms. The instance happened in the eighth over of WI’s first innings after the hosts declared on 518 for five. Sai also remained unavailable for fielding for the remainder of the 35 overs bowled that day.&nbsp;WATCH VIDEO -

Kenya’s Alex Matata and Lilian Kasait Rengeruk stamped their dominance at the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon 2025 on Sunday (October 12), clinching the men’s and women’s elite titles in pleasant weather conditions. Matata, who had finished as runner-up in last year’s edition, executed a well-planned race to cross the finish line in 59 minutes and 50 seconds. He edged past Ethiopia’s Boyelign Teshager, who clocked 1:00:22, while fellow Kenyan James Kipkogei secured third place with a time of 1:00:25.&nbsp;In the women’s elite race, Rengeruk delivered a strong performance, finishing in 1:07:20 to claim the top spot.

Among the Indian contingent, Abhishek Pal and Seema emerged as the fastest male and female runners. Pal completed the course in 1:04:17, while Seema clocked 1:11:23.&nbsp;Speaking after the marathon, Abhishek Pal while speaking to WION said, “My brother, Rahul Kumar Pal, who is also my coach, told me how to do it and how to go about the marathon. Earlier, many people used to tell me to go back but this time I went ahead right from the starting.” Meanwhile, Seema shared her thoughts about the marathon. She said, "I am feeling good and sad at the same time because I have missed the course record by not much. But I hope that next time when I come to compete, I will do my best to break the record. The record was running in my mind throughout but due to the unbalance of my body towards the end, I got a little confused. Still, I did my best.”&nbsp;Celebrating its 20th edition this year, the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon holds the World Athletics Gold Label status and offers a total prize purse of $260,000.

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir still cannot come to terms with one of the darkest chapters in the country’s Test history. Currently on a winning spree across formats, Gambhir once endured a painful home series loss as a coach to New Zealand late last year, in which the Kiwis inflicted a series whitewash on Rohit Sharma’s team – a first of its kind in Indian Test history. That series loss was the beginning of the end of India’s chances of securing a spot in its third successive WTC Final, with Australia and South Africa advancing through.&nbsp;Meanwhile, speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing second Test against the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Gambhir detailed his feelings about that series loss as a coach and what changed in the Indian dressing room after that episode. &nbsp;“If I am being honest, and speak from the heart, I don’t think that in my coaching tenure, I can ever forget that, and I should never forget that,” Gambhir said in a chat with JioHotstar.&nbsp;“I have told this to the boys as well.

The series loss cost Rohit Sharma his place in the Test team, also crumbling Virat Kohli’s confidence, which later led to the pair announcing their respective Test retirements around six months later. Test ace Ravichandran Ashwin also stepped aside from international cricket.&nbsp; &nbsp;Meanwhile, after failing to qualify for the WTC Final 2025, Team India made wholesome changes to their Test side by announcing a new captain in Shubman Gill and introducing newcomers to play crucial roles.

‘The Greatest of All Time’ John Cena delivered yet another classic in his last dance with long-time in-ring foe AJ Styles in the recently concluded WWE PLE Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia. Cena, who has just four dates left in his farewell tour, won everyone’s heart Down Under and even that of a WWE veteran, who took to social media to pen a heartfelt note for the two superstars for pulling off an all-timer. That WWE great was none other than The Undertaker.&nbsp;After taking one of the most painful beatings against Brock Lesnar in his last outing, Cena needed a match against AJ Styles to gain momentum heading into his swansong. On Saturday (Oct 11) in Perth, Cena and Styles gave everything in the ring, leaving the jam-packed arena stunned, while also receiving a standing ovation from the backroom staff. &nbsp;For those who missed out, both used several other WWE stars’ trademark moves, dazzling the fans in attendance. Cena was the one who used most of those moves on Styles, including Randy Orton’s RKO, late Bray Wyatt’s Sister Abigail and Chris Jericho’s Walls of Jericho. Cena also used two moves by the Undertaker – the famous Chokeslam and his deadly Tombstone Piledriver.

However, he delivered his signature finisher – an Attitude Adjustment on Styles to pick up a win. The creative booked this match perfectly, without anyone’s interference, cheating or surprise heel turns, as predicted on social media. The fans’ reaction to this match proved what a banger it was, and that the fans shall remember this forever.<h3>Undertaker’s message</h3>This match caught The Undertaker’s attention too, who took to his X handle to thank Cena and Styles for entertaining the fans to the fullest.

Meanwhile, Cena and Styles will return to separate storylines going forward.&nbsp; &nbsp;While Cena might have a new opponent for each of his remaining in-ring dates, Styles, too, will be preparing for his final run in this pro-wrestling industry, as he announced his retirement plans.

On Saturday (Oct 11) in Perth, Cena and Styles gave everything in the ring, leaving the jam-packed arena stunned, while also receiving a standing ovation from the backroom staff.

‘The Greatest of All Time’ John Cena delivered yet another classic in his last dance with long-time in-ring foe AJ Styles in the recently concluded WWE PLE Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia. Cena, who has just four dates left in his farewell tour, won everyone’s heart Down Under and even that of a WWE veteran, who took to social media to pen a heartfelt note for the two superstars for pulling off an all-timer. That WWE great was none other than The Undertaker. After taking one of the most painful beatings against Brock Lesnar in his last outing, Cena needed a match against AJ Styles to gain momentum heading into his swansong. On Saturday (Oct 11) in Perth, Cena and Styles gave everything in the ring, leaving the jam-packed arena stunned, while also receiving a standing ovation from the backroom staff. For those who missed out, both used several other WWE stars’ trademark moves, dazzling the fans in attendance. Cena was the one who used most of those moves on Styles, including Randy Orton’s RKO, late Bray Wyatt’s Sister Abigail and Chris Jericho’s Walls of Jericho. Cena also used two moves by the Undertaker – the famous Chokeslam and his deadly Tombstone Piledriver.

Messi's Inter Miami, already assured of an MLS Cup playoff berth, continued their push for better playoff position.

Lionel Messi scored twice to spark Inter Miami to a 4-0 victory over Atlanta United, seizing the lead in Major League Soccer's scoring table in a key victory for the Florida club. The Argentine superstar scored his 25th and 26th goals of the season, moving ahead of Los Angeles FC's Denis Bouanga in the race for the Golden Boot after starting the day tied with the Gabon international on 24 goals. Miami, already assured of an MLS Cup playoff berth, continued their push for better playoff position. They pulled level with Cincinnati on 62 points in the Eastern Conference, four points behind leaders Philadelphia, who have clinched the Supporters Shield as the team with the best regular season record in the league. Messi's 39th-minute strike to open the scoring was a beauty. Baltasar Rodriguez robbed an Atlanta defender and found Messi just outside the box. Messi strode forward and curled a left-footed shot around Pedro Amador and out of the reach of Atlanta goalkeeper Jayden Hibbert in the upper left corner of the net. Hibbert had denied Messi in the 13th minute as the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner came up empty on a string of early attempts. Messi was instrumental in Jordi Alba's goal that doubled Miami's lead in the 52nd minute, lofting a ball forward to the Spaniard, who chipped a left-footed shot over Hibbert into the bottom right corner of the net. Alba's sixth goal of the season came on the day that Inter paid tribute to the former Spain and Barcelona star, who announced this week that he would retire at the end of the MLS season. Uruguay's Luis Suarez made it 3-0 in the 61st minute and Messi added his second in the 87th, knocking in a left-footed shot from the center of the box after Alba found him with a long through ball. With MLS playing through the FIFA international window, Messi's status for Inter's match remained a mystery until shortly before kickoff when manager Javier Mascherano announced his lineup. Messi and Rodrigo De Paul had trained with Argentina this week in Florida, although Messi was a spectator as Argentina beat Venezuela 1-0 in a friendly at Hard Rock Stadium on Friday. De Paul came on as a late substitute against Venezuela and was unavailable for Inter, who had six players called up for international duty during the current window, which will also see Argentina play Puerto Rico on Monday in a match moved from Chicago to Inter's Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
