Rohit Sharma SCOLDS Shubman Gill
Ahmedabad: Captain Rohit Sharma has been leading the side well in Tests and has received praise during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Indian captain has led the side to two wins in the BGT and has retained the prestigious trophy, but finds themselves in a critical spot when it comes to making the WTC final. With the WTC final spot at stake, Rohit is not leaving any stone unturned.
An incident on Friday during the final Test showed that Rohit is aware of things and is not ready to give them away. The episode took place when Australia was batting and the 133rd over had just finished. The drinks break had just got over and Rohit was helping Ravichandran Ashwin set the field. That is when he was heard asking Shubman Gill not to fool around. He can be heard saying, “Aye Gill thoda B*****i kam kiya kar.”
Meanwhile, Rohit and Gill saw off the tricky 10 overs with relative ease to be unbeaten on 18 and 17 respectively as the hosts were 36/0, trailing Australia by 444 runs at stumps on second day of the fourth Test.
With the pitch still in favour of stroke play at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Rohit was pristine in his timing, flicking and cutting off Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon with relative ease. On the other hand, Gill sweetly played a short-arm jab on a short ball from Cameron Green, before dancing down the pitch to smash a six off Lyon at the stroke of stumps.
Earlier, ace India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin picked a six-wicket haul in a magical display of skill and control to bowl out Australia for 480.

Shami Jai Shree Ram
Ahmedabad: Cricket is not just a game in India, it is religion. Unfortunately, fans went overboard on Friday during the final Test between India-Australia at Ahmedabad. After the day’s play, when the players came near the dugout – fans could be heard yelling ‘Shami, Jai Shree Ram’. Fans unnecessarily got insensitive and started behaving in that fashion knowing very well that Shami is a Muslim cricketer. Looked like the yelling from the crowd did not affect Shami, who remained calm. The clip is circulating on social space and has gone viral.
Here is the much-talked-about clip which is now receiving reactions:
“Shami… Jai Shree Ram”…
If this indeed happened before the start of the 4th test of the #BorderGavaskarTrophy in Ahmedabad, it makes me puke at the insensitivity from certain pricks.

With the pitch still in favour of stroke play at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Rohit was pristine in his timing, flicking and cutting off Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon with relative ease. On the other hand, Gill sweetly played a short-arm jab on a short ball from Cameron Green, before dancing down the pitch to smash a six off Lyon at the stroke of stumps.
Earlier, ace India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin picked a six-wicket haul in a magical display of skill and control to bowl out Australia for 480. With pitch not showing much signs of sharp turn, Ashwin single-handedly got India back in the match, especially after having a wicketless morning session, ending with 6/91 in a relentless spell of 47.2 overs.

Mumbai: Things have gone from bad to worse for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Women’s Premier League as the Smriti Mandhana-led side has now slumped to their fourth consecutive loss, this time a 10-wicket humiliation on the hands of UP Warriorz at the Brabourne Stadium on Friday.
RCB has been consistently failing to churn out runs and their bowling woes at the same time have brought them down to the bottom of the table.
At the post-match presentation, Mandhana reflected on the poor run and has taken the blame on herself.
”In the last four games it’s been happening. We start well and then lose a cluster of wickets. I take the blame as well. Need to get runs on the board for the bowlers to defend. Overs 7-15 we spoke about getting 7-8 per over. Didn’t work out today. We’re trying to get a balanced team. Let’s see how it goes”, she told.
”I’ve tried to speak to all the players about it. We’ll have to keep doing it. Last one week has been really tough on the team. Lots to reflect, lots to work on. Should admit last week has been really tough. Lot of people have reached out to me. As international cricketers we have faced these situations. I have my family around me”, the 26 year-old further added.
Excellent outings from spinners Sophie Ecclestone (4/13) and Deepti Sharma (3/26) helped UP Warriorz bowl out RCB for 138 despite a fighting half-century (52 off 39) by Ellyse Perry in a WPL 2023 match. After Perry, Sophie Devine (36 off 24) was next top-scorer for RCB as other batters struggled to get going against a disciplined UP bowling attack. In reply, Healy (96 not out) smashed RCB bowlers all-round the park to score a quickfire fifty and she got perfect support from her opening partner Devika Vaidya Devika Vaidya (36 not out off 31).

Meanwhile, Usman Khawaja combined patience with grit to raise his 14th Test hundred that guided Australia to a comfortable 255 for four as a keen contest between bat and ball marked the opening day.
After dominating the batters in the first three matches of the series, the Indian spinners struggled to trouble the Australians with the Motera track, as anticipated, turning out to be a better wicket. Khawaja, Australia’s best batter on the tour, was determination- personified throughout his six-hour stay as he struck 15 boundaries in his unbeaten 104-run knock.
At stumps the Pakistan-born Khwaja had Cameron Green (49) for company.
IND Vs GER, FIH Hockey Pro League: India Look For Fresh Start After World Cup Debacle
Rourkela will host all six FIH Pro League matches, where India, Germany, and Australia will play each other twice.

Rourkela: India will eye redemption when they take on newly-crowed world champions Germany in their FIH Men’s Hockey Pro League fixture on Friday. Led by star drag-flicker Harmanpreet Singh, the Indian team had made a shock last-16 exit in the World Cup held in January.
“Every match at this stage is challenging for us, especially when the oppositions are Australia and Germany,” said the India skipper, who is currently one of the three joint top-scorers in the tournament.
“However, it’s good for us that we are getting to play such challenging matches as our focus is on Asian Games. So, we will make sure that we improve as a team by playing such games and give our best in the future,” Harmanpreet added. India were at their wasteful best and failed to make use of their most circle entries (155) in the World Cup.
“In the camp (in Bengaluru) we spoke and worked on it. To make sure we have three targets and if we are not able to do that, we need to focus on keeping the ball and not giving it away cheaply. The main focus is on handling pressure and improving our decision-making,” he said.
This is India’s first match after the departure of Graham Reid. Craig Fulton was named as their coach but the South African is expected to join the team later. Interim coaches David John and BJ Kariappa will be at the helm for the four matches.
Following their World Cup debacle, India have axed senior players Mandeep Singh, Akashdeep Singh and Amit Rohidas, while goalkeeper Krishan Pathak will be missing due to his wedding. Having elevated to vice-captaincy, Hardik Singh said India will tweak their strategy but their core values will remain the same.
There will be minor changes to our strategy, but our core values and principles of the team will remain the same. Also, we will not only focus on our attacking style of play but also work on keeping the possession,” Hardik said.
India, who are currently fourth in the points tally, hosted New Zealand and Spain at the Kalinga Stadium last year in October in the FIH Hockey Pro League 2022/2023. They kicked off their campaign with a superb 4-3 and 7-4 win against New Zealand, followed by a 3-2 loss and a 2-2 draw against Spain.
On the other hand, Germany who are ranked fifth in the Pro League with eight points from four games, will be oozing with confidence having won the World Cup. Led by Mats Grambusch, the German team will aim to continue their rich vein of form and will be eager to put their best foot forward against the hosts.
However, Grambusch believes that the World Cup win is now a thing of the past and the team needs to keep working on becoming better with each passing day. “All our matches in the World Cup 2023 were really close as we won our quarterfinal and final games through shootouts.
“We secured victory in the semi-final in the last few seconds of the game. So, considering that there will be many competing games against some good teams like Australia, India, Belgium, and Netherlands in the leadup to the 2024 Paris Olympics, we have to improve what we can improve and that’s going to be our focus,” Grambusch said.
