Ajinkya Rahane revived his international career with a courageous effort in seaming conditions before bowlers made it hard to Aussies to take the game away from Team India&nbsp;

Team India continued to fight on Day 3 of the World Test Championship (WTC) final vs Australia and are still alive in the match.
Rohit Sharma's men needed a boost by their batters but KS Bharat went back quickly for 5. However, Ajinkya Rahane continued from where he had left off overnight and crossed the 50-run mark.
He found a willing ally in Shardul Thakur who scored his 3rd consecutive fifty at the Oval. The pair led India's fightback with 109-run stand before Rahane was out for 89. India was eventually bowled out for 296.
 The Sub-continental giants needed quick wickets and they did remove both Aussie openers cheaply. Ravindra Jadeja then sent back Steve Smith and Travis Head as Australia ended the day at 123/4 and lead India by 296 runs.

Shardul Thakur walked out with India wanting at 152/6 and scored a crucial 109-ball-51. His century-run stand helped India avoid the follow-on as well.

Wrestlers' protest: Sangeeta Phogat taken to Brij Bhushan Singh's residence as part of probe

Delhi Police on Friday took wrestler Sangeeta Phogat to outgoing WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's official residence to recreate the sequence of events that led to the alleged incident of sexual harassment. 

According to a PTI report, Phogat was accompanied by women constables and they were at Singh's residence for half an hour.

Delhi Police on Friday took wrestler Sangeeta Phogat to outgoing WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's official residence to recreate the sequence of events that led to the sexual harassment of which he has been accused.
According to sources, Phogat was accompanied by women constables.
"At 1.30 pm women officers took Sangeeta Phogat to Brij Bhushan's official residence in Delhi. They were there for half an hour. They asked her to recreate the scene and recall the places where she faced harassment," sources said.
The Delhi Police's Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing sexual harassment allegations against the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president and BJP MP from Kaiserganj, Uttar Pradesh is likely to submit in the court its investigation report in the two cases registered against him by next week, officials said on Wednesday.
As part of its investigation, the SIT has questioned more than 180 people, the Delhi Police officials said.
Top wrestlers of the country, including Asian Games gold medallist Vinesh Phogat and Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia, had been protesting against Singh and demanding his arrest for allegedly sexually harassing seven female grapplers, including a minor.
The protesting wrestlers on Wednesday met Sports Minister Anurag Thakur and agreed to suspend their agitation till June 15 after he assured them that a charge sheet against Singh will be filed by then and WFI elections will be held by the end of the month.
The Delhi Police has filed two FIRs against Singh.&nbsp;

IND vs AUS WTC Final 2023: Steve Waugh dissatisfied over R Ashwin's exclusion from India's XI

Former Australia captain Steve Waugh feels India picked wrong playing XI for the final of World Test Championship

The exclusion of Test cricket's top-ranked bowler, R Ashwin, Test from India's XI in the WTC final against Australia is not die down.&nbsp;
And the latest to voice dissatisfaction is Australia's legendary captain Steve Waugh.&nbsp;
"I would have picked Ashwin for his batting, let alone his bowling. That is why I can't believe he isn't playing because he has got five Test centuries as well. It is very strange. It looks green on top but underneath it is crumbly and a bit dry. You can get lulled into the overcast sky and green pitch and think it is going to do everything," former Australian captain said.
He also stated: "As soon as the sun comes out it is totally different and dries out quickly. I do think (India) have picked the wrong side. Spin will play a big part in this Test match and it is going to be up and down."

Wrestlers' protest: what happens to POCSO case against BrijBhushan Singh after minor changes statement

The sexual harassment allegation case against the former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh appears to have weakened after the minor wrestler's father whose sexual assault complaint was lodged under POCSO backtracked. 

Here's how the dynamics of the case might change 

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh had been earlier booked under section 10 of the POCSO act for aggravated sexual assault on the minor wrestler.&nbsp;

One of the sexual harassment allegation case against the former Wrestling Federation of India chief, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, appears to have weakened after the father of a minor wrestler, whose sexual assault complaint was lodged under POCSO, backtracked.&nbsp;
The minor's father accepted that they deliberately filed a 'false' police complaint of sexual harassment against WFI chief, Singh.
His admission changes the dynamics of the cases against the BJP MP.
As per The Indian Express, the minor's father has re-recorded his statement at Delhi's Patiala House Court. The father changed his statement under section 164 of CrPC (Code of Criminal Procedure) before a magistrate and as per the law, the changed statement holds evidentiary value in court.
This is being regarded as an escape hole for the 66-year-old, Singh, as the POCSO charges may get dropped now. &nbsp;
However, CNN News-18, which spoke to Supreme Court lawyer Ashwini Dubey on the issue, reported that there is no provision to withdraw a case under POCSO as these are non-compoundable offences, which means a compromise in such cases is not possible and criminal culpability continues. &nbsp;
Dubey said that while the FIR cannot be quashed, it is up to the court to analyse statements and then the accused may be discharged if grounds and evidence are found frivolous.&nbsp;
But another lawyer, Ashish Dixit told CNN News 18 that a witness retracting or changing her statement might go against her and the credibility of such person becomes intriguing.
He also said that police may choose to drop the provisions of POCSO from the chargesheet and if they discover substantive evidence, they would be within their rights to file a chargesheet containing POCSO offence.
Singh had been earlier booked under section 10 of the POCSO act for aggravated sexual assault on the minor wrestler.

Head's 163 off 174 balls has put Australia in a commanding position on the second day at the Oval.

WTC Final 2023 | On Day two, we planned to bowl only bouncers to Head: Siraj

India pacer Mohammed Siraj revealed the team's plan against Australia's Travis Head who had scored a counterattacking hundred on the opening day of the World Test Championship final.

Head's 163 off 174 balls has put Australia in a commanding position on the second day at the Oval.

India pacer Mohammed Siraj on Thursday said the team planned to bowl only bouncers to Travis Head irrespective of the outcome after his counterattacking hundred on the opening day of the World Test Championship final.
Head's 163 off 174 balls has put Australia in a commanding position on the second day at the Oval. The Indians' tactics of not using the short ball against Head were questioned on day one, forcing them to change their plans the following day.
Siraj eventually got rid of him with a short ball on the leg side.
"There was sticky bounce yesterday morning and seam movement. Thereafter, there was not enough swing from the six metre length and batters were having it easy. Head batted extraordinarily as well. We could have bowled with better lines," said Siraj, who was India's standout bowler with four wickets in Australia's first-innings total of 469 all out.
Siraj felt they got the required luck with the short ball on day two.
"We decided to bowl bouncer only to Head and if he get hit from there then so be it. We stuck to it and got success. We built pressure did not give too many runs that also helped. We used bouncers yesterday as well but the chances went in the gap.
"There were four-five chances off my bowling only. If we did not bowl well, Australia would have crossed 500," he said.
Siraj added that the wicket had more pace and uneven bounce on day two.
"There is more pace in the wicket and there is uneven bounce. We also bowled well but the way Head batted he forced us to push our lengths back." On throwing the ball back to Steve Smith after the Australia completed his hundred in the first over of the day, he added: "It was nothing. I was just enjoying. It is important to do that as it is a long day," he added

He went on to question Pujara's dismissal as well and said, 'Green bowled with the shine pointing towards Pujara and the ball rocketed back in'&nbsp;

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has accused the Australian team of ball tampering in the World Test Championship final against India.&nbsp; Slamming the commentators, match officials and BCCI for not noticing their tactics that led to the collapse of India's batting order on Day 2, the 52-year-old gave evidence for his claims.&nbsp; On his YouTube channel, Ali blamed Pat Cummins' team for altering the ball in the 15th over.&nbsp; He first explained the reverse swing and then spoke specifically about the wickets of Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara. While Kohli fell to Mitchell Starc's bouncer, Cameron Green outbowled Pujara with a straight-forward delivery. Explaining the mechanism behind the 2 deliveries, Ali described reverse swing and said, 'Reverse swing is when the shine is on the inside and the ball comes back in'. He also pointed out that a Dukes ball will not reverse in 15-20 overs and can last till 40 overs at least.&nbsp; Noting that this was not the case when Starc bowled to Kohli with the ball's shiny end pointing outside, he said 'the ball moved the other way'&nbsp; He went on to question Pujara's dismissal as well and said, 'Green bowled with the shine pointing towards Pujara and the ball rocketed back in'&nbsp; This is not the first time that the Australians have been accused of ball tampering, in 2018 David Warner, Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft were found guilty of tampering with the ball.&nbsp; On Day 2, Australian bowlers wreaked havoc on India's top order as they had reduced them to 151/5 after posting a mammoth 469-run target in the first innings.&nbsp;

Though Novak Djokovic emerged victorious against cramping Carlos Alcaraz, but the 20-year-old impressed many with his shot making at the French Open 2023

WATCH! Carlos Alcaraz earns Novak Djokovic's applause with THIS stunning shot | French Open 2023 viral video

The No. 1-ranked Carlos Alcaraz produced one particularly brilliant shot — one that went viral within minutes and could be talked about for years — en route to claiming the second set of what, at the time, was a closely contested and thrilling showdown.

Though Novak Djokovic emerged victorious against cramping Carlos Alcaraz, but the 20-year-old impressed many with his shot making at the French Open 2023

The No. 1-ranked Carlos Alcaraz produced one particularly brilliant shot &mdash; one that went viral within minutes and could be talked about for years &mdash; en route to claiming the second set of what, at the time, was a closely contested and thrilling showdown.
But in the end, this highly anticipated matchup was as anti-climatic as can be.
That's because early in the third set, after nearly 2 1/2 hours of exertion and tension in 85-degree heat at Court Philippe Chatrier, Alcaraz&rsquo;s body began to lock up. First, his hand began to cramp. Then his legs. And so, at 1-all, Alcaraz needed to take a break and get treated by a trainer. Because it was not a changeover, Alcaraz was required to forfeit the following game and fell behind 2-1.
From there, it was pretty much all over. Djokovic, who is 36, was able to cruise to the finish against Alcaraz, who is 20, making for the widest age gap in a men&rsquo;s Grand Slam semifinal since 1991.

It was the 45th Grand Slam semifinal for Djokovic and the second for Alcaraz.

French Open 2023: Novak Djokovic prevails vs Carlos Alcaraz, one step away from record 23rd Grand Slam

Tennis veteran Novak Djokovic used every bit of his experience, relentlessness and fitness to beat a cramping Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 in the first semifinal of French Open 2023. 

<h2>It was the 45th Grand Slam semifinal for Djokovic and the second for Alcaraz.</h2>

Tennis veteran Novak Djokovic used every bit of his experience, relentlessness and fitness to beat a cramping Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 in the first semifinal of French Open 2023.&nbsp;
With the win, third-seeded Djokovic is just one win from a record 23rd Grand Slam title.
Djokovic made an impressive start in the first set, winning it 6-3 thanks to Alcaraz's wild forehands.&nbsp;
However, the world Number 1 came back strongly in the second set and won it 7-5.&nbsp;
But in the end, this highly anticipated matchup was as anti-climatic as can be.&nbsp;
At one-all in the third set, 20-year-old Alcaraz suffered major cramps, which restricted his movement.&nbsp;
Djokovic eventually registered a spot in the final by winning the last two sets. 6-1, 6-1.
