  • Sports Success Story: Ravichandran Ashwin, From Humble Beginnings To Cricket Stardom – A Success Story Of Determination And Skill | cricket news

    New Delhi: Ravichandran Ashwin’s journey began on the dusty pitches of Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Born in 1986, his cricketing passion emerged early, leading him to the MRF Academy at the age of 12. Here, he honed his off-spin bowling under the guidance of legends like Sunil Subramaniam and L. Sivaramakrishnan.

    Ashwin’s talent didn’t go unnoticed. He made his first-class debut for Tamil Nadu in 2006, impressing with his control and accuracy. His consistent performances earned him a call-up for the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2010, where he represented the Chennai Super Kings. The IPL provided Ashwin with a bigger platform and the opportunity to learn from seasoned cricketers like Shane Warne.

    County Cricket Stint and International Breakthrough:

    In 2011, Ashwin embarked on a county stint with Essex in England. This exposure to different pitches and conditions further refined his bowling, making him more adaptable. The experience proved pivotal as he returned to India a more mature and confident bowler.

    His domestic success translated onto the international stage in 2011. Ashwin made his Test debut against the West Indies, taking a five-wicket haul in the second innings. He quickly established himself as India’s premier spinner, playing a crucial role in their overseas victories in Australia (2011–12) and England (2014).

    Ashwin’s Peak and Challenges:

    Ashwin’s peak came in the 2015–16 season, where he topped the ICC Test bowling rankings. His variations, including the carrom ball, bamboozled batsmen worldwide. He formed a formidable partnership with Ravindra Jadeja, helping India dominate Test cricket.

    However, challenges emerged in the form of dip in form and criticisms about his bowling style. He was dropped from the Indian team in 2018 but fought back with determination, regaining his place with a string of impressive performances in domestic cricket.

    Reinventing Yourself and Looking Ahead:

    Adaptability has been a hallmark of Ashwin’s career. He has reinvented himself, adding new weapons to his arsenal, like the “Mankad” dismissal. He continues to be a vital cog in the Indian team, contributing with both bat and ball.

    As Ashwin steps onto the field, his journey from Chennai clubs to Test stardom serves as an inspiration to aspiring cricketers.

  • ‘Working On Technical Aspects’: Ishan Kishan Skips Ranji Trophy For THIS T20 Tournament | cricket news

    Ishan Kishan’s absence from Ranji Trophy continued as the wicketkeeper-batter, who plays domestic cricket for Jharkhand, skipped the final round of matches that started on Friday, a move that might not go down well with BCCI especially after the diktat from secretary Jay Shah. Jharkhand are playing Rajasthan in Jamshedpur and even Deepak Chahar, who is currently training with the Chennai Super Kings, skipped the last round Ranji game.

    It is learned that Kishan was asked by a senior member of the Indian team think-tank to play Ranji Trophy in order to make a comeback to the Test team but the flamboyant keeper-batter has reportedly said he was “working on certain technical aspects” of his game and was not ready for red-ball cricket. (Explained: Why England Started 1st Innings Rajkot Test At 5/0? Story Of Penalty Run Caused By An Ashwin Mistake)

    The 25-year-old from Patna, who is currently training with his Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya in Baroda, is set to make a comeback to competitive cricket for his employers Reserve Bank of India in Mumbai’s DY Patil T20 tournament.

    DY Patil T20 is a tournament where most of the office teams take part and a lot of players tune up for the cash-rich IPL by playing in the event. (Ashwin Completes 500 Test Wickets; Sachin Tendulkar Gives Him A New Name After Achieving Landmark)

    Ishan Kishan turned a blind eye to BCCI, Rahul Dravid and Jay Shah and missed the Last round of Ranji Trophy for the state team.

    It is Kishan’s reluctance to play first-class cricket and focus only on the IPL that forced the BCCI to make a minimum number of Ranji Trophy games mandatory for players in order to be eligible for the cash-rich league’s lucrative auction pool.

    “If you are fit then no excuse will be entertained,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah recently told the media in Rajkot.

    “This applies to all centrally contracted players, they have to play. The player cannot decide his future, the selectors need to decide that. If the player is good in red-ball, he has to play.” Shreyas Iyer is also missing in action in the ongoing final round of matches that started across venues. Iyer was, however, having issues with his lower back and groin.

  • Kylian Mbappe Tells PSG: I Am Leaving Club At The End Of The Season | football news

    Kylian Mbappe has told Paris Saint-Germain he will leave the club at the end of the season. The France international informed PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi he would not stay at the club when his contract expires, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because Mbappe hasn’t made his decision public yet.

    One person said Mbappe — who has previously been pursued by Real Madrid — did not indicate which club he would join next.

    PSG declined to comment, but a second person with knowledge of Mbappe’s decision said the terms of his departure were still being worked out with the club and an official statement would not come until that has been finalized.

    _ Highlights of the Parisian victory _ Real Sociedad! (2-0)

    Goals from @KMbappe and Bradley Barcola in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 __#PSGRSO | #UCL pic.twitter.com/1flgydlnhC— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) February 15, 2024

    Mbappe — widely considered to be one of the best players in the world — will be a free agent at the end of the season after seven years with PSG.

    He informed the club last year that he would not trigger an extension to the contract he signed in 2022.

    When he signed that last deal, PSG paraded him at Parc des Princes holding up a jersey with 2025 written on it — even though the actual contract was until 2024, with an option for an extra year. That episode reportedly irked Mbappe, who then also felt let down by the club for failing to sign enough top-class players — other than Lionel Messi — after they pledged to do when he penned the deal.

    While Madrid seems like the most probable destination for Mbappe, his departure from PSG is likely to spark a bidding war between a host of other clubs eager to sign the former World Cup winner.

    The 25-year-old Mbappe has been at PSG since 2017 after signing from Monaco in a transfer worth a reported $190 million. He arrived at the same time as Neymar, who cost PSG a world record $222 million from Barcelona.

    In 2021, PSG turned down a bid of $190 million from Real Madrid for the forward, who went on to sign his current contract the following year.

    Mbappe will be the latest superstar player to leave the French club in recent times following the departures of Messi and Neymar last year. The glittering attacking trio played together for two seasons yet couldn’t even reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League as PSG was eliminated at the last-16 stage both years, first by Real Madrid and then Bayern Munich.

    Mbappe won five French league titles with PSG, but has so far failed to lead it to success in the Champions League. When PSG reached the final in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, it lost 1–0 to Bayern as Mbappe and Neymar both failed to make an impact.

    Mbappe could still go out on a high by winning European club soccer’s biggest prize this season. He scored in PSG’s 2–0 win on Wednesday over Real Sociedad in the first leg of the round of 16, taking his record-extending club tally to 243 goals in just 290 games, including 38 in the Champions League. He also has 93 assists for PSG, third on the club’s all-time list.

  • IND vs ENG 3rd Test: Rohit Sharma got furious when Jadeja ran out Sarfaraz, reaction went viral, watch video

    IND vs ENG 3rd Test: Indian cricketer Sarfaraz Khan made his Test debut in the third Test match of the ongoing 5-match Test series between India and England. During this, Sarfaraz created history by playing a stormy innings of 66 runs and scoring fifty in just 48 balls. After scoring fifty in his very first Test, Sarfaraz Khan was rapidly moving towards a century and was adding to the problems for England. But due to misunderstanding with Ravindra Jadeja, he was run out. A sharp, accurate throw ended his game at the non-strike end.

    Sarfaraz returned to the pavilion with moist eyes after scoring 62 runs in 66 balls. The fans present in the stadium were disappointed with this run out. On the other hand, the reaction of Indian captain Rohit Sharma present in the dressing room was also worth seeing. The hitman took off his cap from his head in irritation and threw it away. His anger towards Ravindra Jadeja could be clearly seen on camera.

    Sarfaraz out due to Jadeja

    India got a shock in the form of Sarfaraz on the score of 314. Sarfaraz, who was batting brilliantly, was run out in pursuit of Ravindra Jadeja’s century. Actually, Jadeja was on the score of 99. After this, in the 82nd over of the innings, Jadeja played a shot at mid-on on Anderson’s ball. Jadeja called Sarfaraz for a single, took two steps forward but then came back. In this time Sarfaraz had reached half the pitch. In such a situation, he had no time left to return. Wood ran out Sarfaraz on a direct throw.

    IND vs ENG 3rd Test: The first day’s play of the third Test match of the ongoing 5-match Test series between India and England has ended. India has scored 315 runs at the loss of five wickets. At present Jadeja is present at the crease after scoring 110 runs and night watchman Kuldeep Yadav has scored 1 run. For England, Mark Wood took three wickets and spinner Tom Hartley took one wicket.

  • ‘It Was My Wrong Call,’ Ravindra Jadeja Apologizes To Sarfaraz Khan For Run Out Dismissal On Debut | cricket news

    Experienced Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has apologized on the regrettable mix-up between himself and debutant Sarfaraz Khan during Day 1 of the 3rd Test versus England. Spearheading India’s batting effort on Thursday, Jadeja partnered with Sarfaraz after Captain Rohit Sharma revitalized the host’s innings with a record-breaking century. While Jadeja and Rohit showcased their prowess by reaching centuries in Rajkot, Sarfaraz captured the admiration of many with his spectacular performance against Ben Stokes and company in this pivotal match.

    Jadeja declined the quick single after calling for it as Sarfaraz signaled for it, resulting in mid-on fielder Mark Wood executing a direct hit that concluded the debutant’s entertaining innings. Following India’s commendable total on Day 1, Jadeja expressed his sympathy for Sarfaraz on Instagram. (WATCH: Rohit Sharma Devastated As Sarfaraz Khan Gets Runout On Test Debut)

    The seasoned all-rounder also took complete accountability for the run-out. “Feeling remorseful for @SarfarazKhan97, it was my misjudgment. Well played,” Jadeja shared on Instagram Stories.

    England assistant coach Paul Collingwood on Thursday heaped praise on debutant Sarfaraz Khan, whose aggressive 62 allowed India to score 326 for five on day one of the third Test. Collingwood said Sarfaraz showed a “lot of courage to play like that” after the right-handed batsman smashed his fifty off 48 balls, the joint fastest by an Indian on debut.

    “He came out and batted really well. We kept attacking fields to him. He likes to be a strokemaker and play his shots,” Collingwood told the media after stumps here.

    “I thought Ben (Stokes) wanted to keep attacking fields so we could create a chance. And fair play to him (Sarfaraz), he had the courage to go over the top on a few occasions,” Collingwood added. (IND vs ENG 3rd Test: Debutant Sarfaraz Khan’s Father, Wife Become Emotional After He Receives India Cap From Anil Kumble; Watch)

    “He sweeps really well and puts the bowlers under pressure. On debut, it takes as a lot of courage to come out and play like that. I guess from his point of view, it was a shame to get run out the way he did. You can see why he has got a pretty good first-class average — he looks a decent player,” he continued.

    Collingwood said although England exploited the early conditions well, it was a toil for the remainder of the day as the ball went soft and the pitch did not have much for the bowlers.

    “It was a great start, there was a bit of movement around this morning, it seemed a bit cooler, a bit of moisture on the ground so the ball nipped around a bit. Jimmy and Woody were exceptional. As the ball gets softer, it’s doing less,” he said.

    “The spinners toiled away all day with little reward but when you’ve got quality batters like they have in the India team, they’re always going to get a response.”The two guys who got hundreds and Sarfaraz at the end played exceptionally. well. We threw everything at them, in terms of plans and field positions,” he added.

    The former England batsman said Stokes tried to maneuver the field given the lack of support from the pitch while also defended Joe Root, whose dropped catch of Rohit Sharma (131) proved costly.“Nobody ever wants to drop catches and the beauty about the game. is you’ve got to try to make more opportunities,” Collingwood said.

    “That’s what Stokesy with his field placings and the bowlers did, trying to work out if they could change the mentality of the batters. On wickets that aren’t doing too much, you’ve got to take risks to try create chances,” he added.

    Collingwood said despite India being in a strong position after the end of the first day, the mood in the English camp remains upbeat.

    “The mood’s very upbeat. It doesn’t generally change no matter what day we have. We all realize that however many runs India get, we’re going to go out there pretty positively with the bat,” he said. “If we have to chase runs on this pitch, it’s a very fast outfield and we’re good at chasing,” Collingwood added.

  • IND vs ENG 3rd Test: Hitman played captaincy innings in Rajkot, scored 11th Test century, left Joe Root behind in this matter

Every time a fan ran up to him during IPL or international matches, one saw how Dhoni handled them, not reacting aggressively towards them.

    There are many stories which reveal the great man that he is off the field. One of these stories was narrated by owner of bat manufacturer BAS Somi Kohli.

    Not many know that when first started out in professional cricket, he was able supported by Kohli’s company. BAS had supported Dhoni during his initial years and as a tribute to the company, he decided not to take a penny from them when he started playing international cricket. Kohli had reached out to Dhoni and his office, even his wife Sakshi, to offer him a contract but the former India captain refused to take the money. Dhoni could have signed a big contract with other bat manufacturing companies but he was hell bent on using BAS bats and without taking any money.

    “Dhoni did not mention any money. He just said ‘put your stickers on my bats and send them across’. I tried to convince him, ‘You’re letting go of such a lucrative contract’. He refused crores of rupees worth of contract. I requested his wife Sakshi, his father, mother. Even told his CA and Paramjit from Ranchi. They all went to his home before the World Cup. But he said ‘No… it is my decision’,” Mr. Kohli said in a video on Sports Launchpad YouTube channel.

    This story has gone viral on the internet and has been shared widely by Dhoni fans who cannot stop talking about it.

    Notably, Dhoni was seen using Prime Sports bat in the nets as he preps for the next season of IPL. Dhoni will be leading Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in what could be his last season in the tournament. Prime Sports is a shop in Ranchi run by a close friend of Dhoni.
