"He Is No. 1 Batter": Wasim Akram Left Fuming At Broadcaster Over Babar Azam vs Jasprit Bumrah Stat

  The mouth-watering Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 clash between India and Pakistan ended in the favour of the Rohit Sharma-led side as they registered a stunning 228-run victory on Monday. The match began on Sunday but due to the rain interruptions, it had to be shifted to the reserve day on Monday, where Virat Kohli left everyone dazzled with his 122-run knock. Chasing 357, the Babar Azam-led side could not even inch closer as Kuldeep Yadav took a five-wicket haul and bundled out Pakistan for just 128 runs. During the mid-innings break, there was a moment which left former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram highly disappointed. Host broadcasters Star Sports had organised a poll, asking the fans to vote either for India pacer Jasprit Bumrah or Pakistan skipper Babar Azam. The results showed that 98% of the viewers favoured Bumrah and only 2% of them took Babar's side. Seeing this, Akram did not mince his words and said, "You guys are making these stats up. What? Babar is the No. 1 batter in the world. I mean, come on guys. Give him a little appreciation. Make it 3 percent at least. It will be a great battle. One of the top bowlers in world cricket against the No. 1 batter in the world, who apparently has just 2 percent chance against him." pic.twitter.com/dOjypOTRoN — Nihari Korma (@NihariVsKorma) September 11, 2023 However, Bumrah proved Akram wrong as the Pakistan skipper visibly struggled against Bumrah's fiery spell. He faced 13 deliveries by Bumrah and out of which, 11 were dot balls. The star pacer ended his spell with 18 runs and one wicket in five overs. Talking about the match, India posted an imposing 356 for 2, as Kohli (122 not out off 94 balls) and Rahul (111 not out off 106 balls), which was his sixth ODI hundred, pummeled a hapless Pakistan, whose chase ended at 128 for 8 as Kuldeep Yadav (5/25) scythed through them. On the century count in ODIs, Kohli now stands just two behind Sachin Tendulkar's record 49. Once India restarted the day from 147 for 2 in 24.1 overs, they needed Kohli and Rahul, the two overnight batters, to go big, and they did that in some style. Along with Rahul, Kohli amassed 233 runs for the unbeaten third wicket stand - the highest ODI partnership for India against Pakistan. En route to his 77th international century, Kohli also added some personal milestones to an already long list, becoming the fastest batsman to 13000 ODI runs and scoring his fourth ton in as many innings at the R Premadasa Stadium.

Tim David says it's frustrating to not get the results we wanted in IPL 2022

IPL 2022 has been a season to forget for Mumbai Indians, with the five-time champions completing at the lower part of the table with only four successes out of 14 association matches. Presently, enormous hitting hitter Tim David conceded that there was disappointment when the ideal outcomes weren't coming.

Mumbai's season started with eight misfortunes on the run prior to taking a success against Rajasthan Royals on April 30. However they oversaw three additional successes, including a five-wicket triumph over Delhi Capitals to send Royal Challengers Bangalore into the end of the season games, it was past the point of no return for the Rohit Sharma-drove side to make a circle back in their mission.

"There's been times when it's been baffling not come by the outcomes we needed to get immediately. But on the other hand it's been a compensating season as far as that we've been tested. By and by, I've been tested," expressed David in a video posted by the establishment on their web-based entertainment accounts.

In his most memorable year for Mumbai subsequent to being purchased by them for INR 8.25 crores in the uber closeout, David was dropped after scores of 12 and 1 in the initial two matches. He was at last reviewed into the playing eleven from the success against Rajasthan and showed his stunning batting abilities with an unbeaten 44 against Gujarat Titans, a 18-ball 46 against Sunrisers Hyderabad and finished the competition with a 11-ball 34 against Delhi.

"I played several games toward the beginning and that was a decent encounter, my most memorable time playing for MI. First games in Quite a while. And afterward, I clearly was sitting out for the group mix. As a player, it's difficult to manage on the grounds that you think you have something to give the group and that is only a timeframe you need to acknowledge. Attempt and backing the partners however much you can," expressed David on not getting a lot of game time in the primary portion of IPL 2022.

Simultaneously, he made sense of that he utilized the period uninvolved to really buckle down on his wellness and abilities. "I invested a fair piece of energy in the exercise center, most likely beyond what I could do on the off chance that I was in the playing XI. I buckled down on my batting, attempting to be more steady at the wrinkle and attempting to have a more controlled swing. So I might want to think I have significantly more grounded. I think I've worked on to such an extent. It's been a great time of development for myself and furthermore some experience on the field."

David finished the mission with 186 runs in eight matches at a normal of 37.20 and a strike pace of 216.27. The 26-year-old surrendered that sinking into another group climate was hard yet felt agreeable as the competition advanced.

"At first, when you initial come into a climate, you don't know many individuals. Thus, it can feel a piece inflexible or organized. Yet, as we have gotten further into the competition, you become more familiar with everybody that is here with us as a feature of the MI group. You get a few unique associations with individuals. Invested a ton of energy with Chappie (Paul Chapman) in the rec center. So that has been great."

He closed down by saying that youths like Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma and Ramandeep Singh are Mumbai's players for the future versions. "There are a few more youthful folks with some great extravagance. Folks like Ishan (Kishan), he's an accomplished player however he's great enjoyable to be near and get a touch of energy from him. Can continuously have somewhat of a giggle. Another I appreciate is Tilak. Having a touch of fun with him. Ramandeep, these folks are players for what's to come."

Who is Azeem Rafiq – The Yorkshire Player In the Middle of Racism Scandal That Has RockedEngland Cricket

English justice and some of its representatives have landed in hot waters ever since former Yorkshire player Azeem Rafiq made some serious allegations of racism. The incident has not only rocked the cricketing world, but has also inspired several players‘of colour’to reveal their terrible gests.

His claims included that red wine was formerly strongly poured down his throat after he was projected down. This unfolded during his early playing days at a original club when he was 15 times old. He added that this was done by a by a former Yorkshire and Hampshire player.

“ I got projected down at my original justice club and had red wine poured down my throat, literally down my throat. The player played for Yorkshire and Hampshire. I ( also) did n’t touch alcohol until about 2012 and around that time I felt I had to do that to fit in. I was n’t perfect, there are effects I did which I felt I had to do to achieve my dreams. I deeply lament that but it has nothing to do with racism,” Rafiq said.

Rafiq verified in a post on Twitter that he did shoot the dispatches and has “ absolutely no defenses.”

“ I'm shamed of this exchange and have now deleted it so as not to beget farther offense,"Rafiq wrote. “ I was 19 at the time and I hope and believe I'm a different person moment. I'm incredibly angry at myself and I apologize to the Jewish community and everyone who's correctly offended by this.

Shah Rukh Khan disappointed with KKRâs loss to Mumbai Indians in IPL

Shah Rukh Khan has always been interested in cricket and loves the sport. No wonder the actor has always been a part of the IPL to support and cheer his team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). However last night SRK seemed tad upset with his team’s performance and even expressed his disappointment.

Last night KKR was playing against Mumbai Indians – a team led by Rohit Sharma. Mumbai Indians played exceptionally well and KKR lost to them for mere 10 runs. The match was super intense and something that kept the viewers on hook. But KKR’s loss and their rather weak performance surely upset big boss - King Khan. Shah Rukh Khan took to Twitter and expressed his feelings. He said, “Disappointing performance to say the least @KKRiders apologies to all the fans!” Well, looks like SRK is not so happy with the team’s loss and also felt that the fans needed an apology.

Disappointing performance. to say the least @KKRiders apologies to all the fans!

— Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) April 13, 2021

The post got several replies from his fans where they asked the superstar that there is no need for him to apologize and also appreciated his thoughtfulness. Over the weekend when KKR won its first match of the season and its 100th match win at IPL, Shah Rukh Khan had celebrated their victory on social media and praised everyone. Looks like the superstar is like a principal, who needs his boys to always score the highest.

  Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen in YRF’s Pathan with Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. Shah Rukh even has a cameo in R Madhavan’s Hindi version Rocketry: The Nambi Effect.

They bowled really well: KL Rahul, who hit fours and sixes for us

At the point when Mark Zuckerberg broadly said: "The greatest gamble isn't facing any challenge", KL Rahul should definitely stand out.

The India player is too great a hitter to not take on the bowlers at any phase of a game, however his moderate center overs approach didn't help Lucknow Super Giants' goal in the eliminator against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Toward the finish of the game, the LSG captain recognized that "two successes" would have likely finished the work for his group in a pursuit of 208.

"Indeed, I think presently, thinking back, indeed, it was just around two successes in the center overs and that might have gotten us over the line," Rahul said in the post-match question and answer session here.

There was a seven-over period after the powerplay during which Rahul figured out how to hit only one limit.

Rahul was in super hot structure this season with two centuries and four fifties, however his methodology while pursuing is something he expected to chip away at. The IPL debutants lost five of their seven matches while pursuing.

"We dominated a couple matches however commonly by and large we didn't do well pursuing. It's something that we really want to learn," Rahul said.

"As far as I might be concerned, I think this season has been similar to each and every other season, has been a decent growth opportunity.

"We, collectively too, it's been an exceptionally difficult season. We've gleaned tons of useful knowledge."

Rahul, who is just the second player this IPL to go beyond 600 runs, scored 79 off 58 balls on Wednesday, which was insufficient in their solid pursue.

"I've truly done well in different seasons, and I appreciate pursuing. No doubt, you become effective and now and again you come up short," Rahul said after the 14-run misfortune.

"However, it's a group game and the group has truly moved forward in any event, while we're pursuing," he added.

Rahul, who will lead India in the forthcoming five-match T20I series against South Africa one month from now in the nonappearance or Rohit Sharma, has been in imperious structure this season, with 616 runs from 15 matches at a normal of 51.33.

Yet, his details while pursuing give a through and through various picture.

He has scored only 191 runs from seven innings while batting second, with a normal of 27.28 at a strike-pace of 113.01.

His 79 in the eliminator was his most elevated and just fifty while pursuing.

"I gave a touch of consideration to the details this season too. Indeed in this season, I've not scored much while batting second," he concurred.

"However, it was a major event and when you come to a major event, you disregard your structure, your runs in the last 14 matches.

"You attempt to play this as a new game, and do the best that you can with it. I attempted to do that likewise today, yet it was a decent learning, have not scored a lot of this season," he said.

On a day while his initial accomplice Quinton de Kock (6) withdrew early, Rahul expected to score rapidly, yet he looked too wary in the powerplay.

RCB's Harshal Patel was splendid by and by and surrendered only eight runs in his initial two overs prior to turning it around at the passing overs.

"It isn't so much that we didn't attempt to hit those fours or sixes, we were attempting however I think in the center they bowled all around well. I believe Harshal's two overs in the center pushed us back a smidgen," Rahul said.

"He went two overs for eight runs. He didn't offer a lot, changed his speed well, he bowled to the field and definitely, that is where we were pushed back a smidgen."

Dropped gets cost us additional 30-40 runs

=========================

Rahul likewise brought up that it was their handling that let them down vigorously.

Rajat Patidar utilized his three respites - - on 59, 72 and 93 - - to crush his lady T20 century - - 112 not out from 54 balls.

Dinesh Karthik, as well, was dropped once and he proceeded to crush a 23-ball 37 not out.

"Skillwise look, you can have a terrible day, you can turn out badly with your execution with bat and ball however something that has let us down actually gravely in this game was our handling," Rahul said.

"We dropped a few simple gets. I dropped DK when he was batting on single-digit. Patidar got dropped in the 60-70s. So I think dropping them cost us that additional 30-40 runs.

"Yet, we contended energetically. We attempted to pursue down this objective actually surprisingly well and like I said it was only two hits away. In the event that we might have gotten that in the center overs likely we would have dominated this match," Rahul said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday turned to India's sporting heroes for support in the herculean battle to contain the COVID-19 pandemic and more than 40 accomplished champions such as Virat Kohli and P V Sindhu responded by vowing to raise awareness and spirits amid a national lockdown.

The athletes, along with sports minister Kiren Rijiju, participated in nearly an hour-long video call which started at 11am. The country is in a 21-day lockdown to contain the spread of the virus.

From Sachin Tendulkar stressing on the need to keep the vigil even after the lockdown ends on April 14, to sprinter Hima Das expressing sadness at the recent attacks on frontline warriors such as health care workers and police officers, to others sharing their experience of being in a lockdown, the sportspersons had lots to offer during the interaction. All these athletes have been generous donors to the funds being raised to fight the crisis.

The Prime Minister, on his part, sought their support to raise awareness about the need for social distancing and personal hygiene at a time when the total number of COVID-19 positive cases in India has crossed 2,000.

"Your suggestions will be taken note of. We are fighting this pandemic like Team India. I am confident that India will be rejuvenated by the inspiration provided by you," the Prime Minister can be seen telling athletes in a clip shared by shuttler B Sai Praneeth, a world championship bronze-medallist, who also attended the call.

All sporting activities are currently shut in the country and it is still not clear when normalcy will resume. The much-anticipated Indian Premier League is among the big-ticket Indian events suspended till April 15.

When Ganguly was asked about the development this morning, he said, "Yes, I will be joining our Honourable PM via video call." But he refused to go into the details.

Cricketers formed a major chunk of the participating list.

Apart from Tendulkar, Ganguly and Kohli, others in the call included top batsman Rohit Sharma, former pacer Zaheer Khan, Yuvraj Singh.

The names of World Cup-winning former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and K L Rahul were in the list of participants but it is learnt that they could not attend the call.

Olympic silver-medallist shuttler Sindhu, javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, chess wizard Viswanathan Anand, sprinter Hima Das, boxing star Amit Panghal, wrestler Vinesh Phogat, and teenage shooting sensation Manu Bhaker were among the other accomplished athletes who took part in the video call.

"Of these, 12 have been given three minutes each to speak and present their view," a ministry source told PTI without revealing the names of the chosen athletes.

It was later learnt that Tendulkar, Ganguly, M C Mary Kom and Kohli were among those who were to speak during the interaction.

"I suggested that as much as possible, I will use our way of greeting - saying 'Namaste' instead of shaking hands, even after we overcome this pandemic," Tendulkar said after the interaction.

"I told him that it is sad that health care workers and police have been attacked," said Asian Games medallist Hima Das, who is employed with Assam Police as a DSP.

However, six-time world champion Mary Kom could not connect to the call due to network issues.

Among those who managed to, former world champion weightlifter Mirabai Chanu said the PM urged everyone to be united in the fight to combat the pandemic.

"The PM asked us to spread awareness on social distancing and hygiene. He spoke about how we need Virat's (Kohli) fighting spirit to win this battle," added veteran table tennis player Sharath Kamal.

World championship silver-winning shooter Abhishek Verma said the PM urged athletes "to be positive and spread positivity".

"He said appreciate and highlight the work of frontline workers. Take good care of yourself and family at home. He asked us to e-mail any suggestions we have on how to handle the situation better," Verma said.

The Prime Minister said the ability to face challenges, self-discipline, positivity and self-belief, which are essential to sports, are crucial tools to combat the spread of the virus as well.

Sporting action has come to a halt the world over with all major events either cancelled or postponed.

The list of postponed events includes the Tokyo Olympics and the European football championships, while among the biggest to be cancelled this year is the Wimbledon championship.

The deadly outbreak has caused more than 50 deaths in India. The global death toll has crossed 50,000.

Olympic-bound archer Deepika Kumari said the PM advised the athletes to keep their immunity levels high during a time when they are not getting enough training exposure.

"PM Sir urged us to post videos about the awareness campaign. He gave us a few pointers like 'Laxman Rekha' (Don't cross the line while maintaining social distancing); 'Sankalp Lena' (Taking a pledge not to step out)

"He said 'Dhairya Rakhna' (don't press the panic button). He also advised us to boost our immune system and stay fit by doing daily exercises," she revealed.

Tennis player Ankita Raina said the PM equated the virus to an unknown opposition.

"(He) told us that athletes are stronger mentally and have the quality to adapt to different conditions and in unknown territories. So he wanted us to spread the positive and encouraging message since this is also an unknown territory (fight against coronavirus)," she said.
